THE JACK PINE KING.
William Little of Iron River
has That Distinction
Among Woodsmen.

William Little of Iron River,
who during the past three years
has been getting out the bulk of
the box wood tim Der for the
| Kenield and Lamoreaux box
factory in this city, has gained
the distinction of being known
throughout the Bayfield, county
woods as the slack Pine King. "
During the past three years Mr..
Little has handled Jack Pine al
most exclusively and he has
been getting out a large amount
of material. This year promises
to be a banner one for him and
be will put in more timber this
year than ever before.
Mr.. Little recently moved
from his camps at Slow Bridge
to his new quarters located just
three miles north of seventeen
mile post. The camps are now
being finished and they are
considered a fine set. The
camps are situated in hollow
ina jack pine grove and in
clude cook shanty, sleeping
quarters. store house, Office,
barns etc. The camps are built
of Jack pine timber and are well
chinked so that they will be nice
and warm for the cold winter
weather. A crew of about eight
cen men are now employed and
this number will be increased
as soon as cold weather sets in.
The timb Der is all sawed in the
woods into eight foot bolts
and hauled by sleigh to the
tracks two miles distance. The
tim Der that is now being cut is
of fine quality and will keep the
crew at the camp busy during
the entire winter.
Mr.. Little believes in feeding
his men well and, consequently
ailare satisfied. The mem bers
of the crew are a pleasant lot of
fellows and are considered good
wOrkmen.

Alex Gackowski. bookkeeper at
the Kentield & Lamoreaux box
factory, does not have to leave
town to be able to geta chance
to use the coupon attached
to his license. While the rest of
the Office force was out in the
woods travelling hills.and valleys
in the hope of getting a deer.
Alex sat at his desk in the Office
wondering when he too would be
able to get an opportunity to try
his luck. Dell Barnhart had
been out and had filed his license
and had left his gun at the office
for Alex to try before going to
the woods. Alex had gone over
to the factory to see how every
thing was going and when re-
turning to the office again MOTTO
ed something coming down the
road that very much resent bied
a deer. He thought of the gun
in the Office and went in and
loaded it and came out again
and landed the deer with but one
shot. He was so pleased with
his fine success that he has invit-
ed number of friends up to
the Dalziel house to enjoy a fine
meal with him.

Big Falling off of Vote in
Bayfield, County
Socialist Party is Only one
to Make Gains in
County.

The official returns of the
election held on the second
Tuesday in this month show
that there was a big falling
off in the vote of the entire
county over that of two years
ago. The Republican and the
Democratic parties were the
heaviest loosers while the
Socialist party made a small
gain. A great deal of inter-
est has been taken out of the
elections held in November
on account of the primary
contest which is held in Sep
tember which practically
decides all the contests.
There are now many that stay
at home during the fall cleo
tion. This being an off year
also helped to diminish the
vote in the county. In look
ing over the returns for two
ago we find that the demo
cratic party polled 500 votes
while this year there was but
81 cast for the party. The
had 1885 in 1908
and 1857 this year, The pro-
hibition party polled 40 votes
this year against 20 two
years ago. The socialists
this year had 19l and two
years ago had 1862. The
above figures are taken on the
vote for governor alone.

Supreme Court Upholds
State Tax Commission
Action Resulting From Re-
assessment of Property at
Iron River.

Attorney Join Walsh of this
city who represented a mum Der
of the tax payers of the town of
Iron River in the noted re-
assessment tax case, received
word from Madison yesterday
to the effect that the Supreme
Court had upheld the State Tax
Commission and that the assess
ment as made had been made
according to law.
The case is an important one
as it established precedent for
future cases Of this kind. and
the decision of the Supreme
Court was a great victory for
Mr.. Walsh and those he repre-
sented. The case originated in
the town of Iron River. The
local assessor had made the
assessment and after the board
of review had passed upon the
same, complaint was made to
the State Tax Commission by
Supervisor of Assessments
VILLAIN Landraint and number
of taxpayers of Iron River
through their attorney John
Walsh TO the effect that the
assessment as made was not a
just and true one. After a hear
ing the state tax com mission
ordered a re-assessment and
this was made according to law.
The new figures were turned
over to the town clerk who re-
fn I'D to 's.e them. and collected
taxes according to the first ass
essment figures. The taxpayers
took the case to the circuit court
and won, and Clerk Daniels of
Iron River appealed to the
Supreme Court, contending that
the law under which the re-
assessment was made was un-
constitutional as it interfered
with local self government which
was granted by the constitution.
Attorney John M. Olin of Madi-
son and Attorney Sauve appear:
ed for Daniels and the town of
Iron River and Attorney Walsh
represented the taxpayers.

Opened This Week With
Headquarters at Bayfield,
Available Craft Being
Pressed Into Service for
Big Season.

The 1910 herring season is now
on among the Apostle Islands
and every available craft in the
country, including vessels from
this city, Ashland, Bayfield, and
Duluth are being pressed into
service for the annual harvest of
herring, the headquarters being
at Bayfield,. 1t is expected
that for the next month there
will be great activity at Bayfield,
for nearly three hundred addi-
tional men are given employ
ment during that time. The
men are paid good wages for
their work and consequently
many are leaving for Bayfield, to
engage in the work. 1t was the
intention to start the season a
week ago but as fishing was not
considered the best, it was put
off until this week. During the
season the herring are caught in
large numbers. Tugs are sent
out into the fishing grounds, the
nets are lifted. and the return
ing vessels are loaded down in
some cases until their decks are
near the waters edge. A num-
ber of companies are engaged
in the fishing business at Bay
geld again this season and the
business they expect to do will
be heavy.
