Basket Ball Friday

A good game of basket ball is
promised for Friday evening of
this week when the Washburn

battle with the Ashland Whirl-

at the Washburn Opera and will
likely be followed by a
dancing party. The Alumni
team is composed of old High
School Stars who still know the
game and they will be able to
give their Ashland opponents the
fastest game of their career. G..
Allen is manager of the Alumni
team and expects much from his
boys. The Alumni team is now
putting IN a lot of practice fo r
their game.

OrDheum Closed

The orpheum theatre which
has been conducted by Mr.. and
Mrs. Meade during the past few
months has been closed and the
fixtures and machine have been
turned back to the original own
ers Messrs. Aune q Olson. 1t
is not likely that the theatre will
be opened again for some time
at least. The attempt to operate
two theatres in the city has SO
far proved a failure and everyone
that has engaged in the business
has quit it again to their sorrow.
1t is not that the shows have
not been up to standard but be-
cause there has not been room
enough for more than one theatre
in the city, and consequently one
had to quit. Three unsuccessful
attempts have been made by
different parties but the results
have always been the same. The
moving picture business may
seem ''rosy" to those not ac-
quainted with it but it costs lot
of money to keep it going.

Dor Almost Doubled
Lumber Shipments Show Big
Increase and Coal Receipts
are Heavy.

The annual report of Custom
Officer ID. w. Corning which will
be completed some time before
the first Of the year will show a
big increase in the business done
at the Washburn port during
the season of 1910. Not alone
was the increase of the lum Der
shipments bigger but the coal
receipts will also show up larger.
During the season there were
ia boat arrivals and clearances
with the total tonnage Of 274,9
Last year showed 81. The coal
receipts for the year were
225, 1872 tons, iron pyrites 4,375
and six cargos of soda. The
value of tonnage will show
about double of that of last year.
This is considered a big increase
for one year and is a good
showing.

Announcement was sent out
from Ashland Tuesday to the
effect that G. N. Risjord of
that city will be a candidate
against John K. Parish for
the Office of circuit judge at
the election to be held next
spring. The announcement
did not come as surprise for
it has been rumored for some
time that Mr.. Risjord would
enter the field, but it was not
known definitely until Tues
day that he would make the
run. Attorney Risjord was a
candidate for the office six
years ago and made a good
run and it is expected that the
contest next spring will be a
spirited one. Judge John K.
Parish and Attorney Risjord
are both we'll known through
out the district and it will be
a hard contest to determine
which one can win out.

Cows all o. X.

Some time ago tuberculin test
was made on cattle in this city
for the purpose of determining
if there was any tuberculosis
among cows here. This
test was made necessary by an
ordinance passed by the city
council prohibiting anyone from
selling milk unless the cattle
had first been tested. A large
number complied with the
ordinance and over a hundred
head of cattle were subjected to
the test. Out of the entire num-
Der only two head were pro-
nounced as having any symptoms
of the disease, one a COW owned
by Mike Larson, and the other a
heifer owned by H. r. Johnson.
These were condemned and
later were taken away by the
state authorities and were killed.
Some time afterward Mr..
Larson and Mr. Johnson each
received check for the full
amount Of the appraised value of
their cattle. The law provides
that if after cow has been
killed it is found that there are
no signs of tuberculosis the full
amount of the appraised value
will be paid by the state. AS
this was done in both cases from
this city it goes TO show that out
Of the total number of cattle
tested there was not a single
case Of tuberculosis. This is a
record that the other cities or
sections of the state will find
hard to beat. The pure water,
fine feed, fresh air and plenty of
sunshine account for this in a
large meas ure. 1t goes to show
that the section surrounding
Washburn is ideal for dairy
purposes.

Safe at Mason Cracked

The large safe in the depot and
express Office at Mason was broken
into one night last week by burglars
but very little money was obtained,
The safe door was torn to pieces and
it was an easy matter for the burg
lars to get at the contents, which
amounted to very little. The sound
OF the explosion was rot heard and
the burglary was not discovered un-
til the following morning. 1t is
thought to have been the same
parties that broke into the South
Shore depot at Iron River week
ago, and Sheriff Happle ard deputies
are making a hard effort to find
some clue upon which to work.

Gone Forever

Six years ago farmer in one of
our leading coun ties put his initials
on dollar bill. The next day he
came to town and spent it with a
merchant. Before six months had
passed he got the same dollar back.
Four times IN three years the bill
came back to him for produce, and
three times he heard Of it IN the
pockets of neighbors. The last time
that he saw the bill was three years
ago. He sent it to the mail order
house. He will never see that bill
again. The dollar bill will never
pay any more school or county taxes
for him; will never build or brighten
anv more homes in the community.
He sent it entirely out of usefulness
to himself and his neighbors when
he sent it to the mail-order house.
