Frank Robillard of Cornucopia is
transacting business ia the city to-
day.
Texas is already celebrating Onion
Day, in anticipa ton probably of
those reciprocity beefstakes from
Canada.
Mrs. Andrew Hoiverson was called
to Cum berland the latter part of last
week owing to the serious illness of
a sister.
Mrs. Charles Boyd was taken to
the st. Joseph hospital at Ashland
the first of the week where she is
receiving treatment.
Getting up in the world is like
getting up on cold frosty morning
out OF warm bed; both require
lot of self denial and whole lot
more of self. will. Such is the cruel
laws of success.
Mrs. Lawley arrived from the
east the latter part of last week to
join her husband who has been here
for some time. The family will 90 to

Stearns Company Making
Many Changes to Their Mill
Old Mill Gang Being Replac-
ed by Re-Saw. Many
Other Changes

About forty men are now CIV
en- employment at the mill of the
Stearns Lumber company in this
city putting the plant in first
class shape for heavy run next
season. The work is being
rushed so that the mill will be
ready to start operating just as
soon as navigation opens in the
spring. The improvements that
are being made are numerous
and the old mill will be in better
shape than ever when the work
is finished. The old mill gang
has been removed and new re-
saw is being installed in the
place. This will be saving on
timber but is likely to decrease
the cut of the mill a tri1e. A
new water heater is to be install
ed which will heat the water be-
fore it goes into the boilers, and
a new boiler feed pump will be
put in. A new steam feed of
the IL inch size which is the
largest made, will be installed.
There will also be many other
minor improvements made about
the mill before the work is COM
pleted and the mill is ready to
run.
The company has crew of
men at work transferring lum-
Der from the mill docks to the old
Hines docks in order to have
plenty 81 roona for piling lumber
when the mill starts, and if the
warm weather keeps up a night
crew will be put on. The docks
around the mill are being repair
ed and put in shape.

Town Petition March 25th

The petition circulated in the
town of Washburn to create new
town out of the territory low con
tanned in the towns of Washburn and
Bayfield, will be heard at Ashland
saturday. March 25th. before CIR
cult Judge John X. Parish. A. w.
Mcleod of this city is attorney for
petitioners. The petitioners want a
new town to be called Sioux River
and their petitions have been quite
generally signed. There is opposi-
tion to the project and a good sized
scrape will likely take place.

County Division Bill Before
Committee March 21-22.
Bayfield, and Price Counties
Prepared to Put up
a Hard Fight

The new county division bill
will be up before the com mittee
on bills at Madison March 21st
and 22nd, at which time the COM
mittees from Bayfield, and Price
counties will have an opportuni-
ty to show cause why the terri
tory should not be sliced up in
order TO form new county with
Park Falls as the county seat.
The committees will go down
armed with petitions from all
parts of the territory effected,
and also with resolutions from
county boards, cities and villages
in the district to be sliced up.
Ashland county is not taking
much interest in the fight which
would change their county geo
graphically and apparently they
are not very much interested
which way it goes. but tits differ
ent with Bayfield, and Price
counties for if the bill goes
through it will take from both
counties mnch valuable territory
and give nothing worth while in
return. The residents of Bay
field county are almost unani-
nous against the division and
they are prepared to contest the
bill as long as there is any fight
ing chance, in order to defeat
that part of the measure that
would take from Bayfield, county
such strip of valuable terri
tory.
The only reason that such a
bill was ever introduced accord
ing to those who have an inside
knowledge of conditions as they
exist, is to make Park Falls
county seat. The people of Park
Falls have an ambition to see
their city grow, and who can
blame them, but then by the pro
posed bill they do not take into
consideration the wishes of any
body else but themselves, and
propose to slice up the northern
Wisconsin in any way that will
give them enough territory to
form a good sized county. In
order that the other counties,
from which they take territory
will not feel unkindly toward the
proposition, they have endeavor-
ed to even up matters by taking
from one and giving to another,
as best they knew now until they
have changed the map OF the ex-
treme northern part of the state.
They realized that they were un.
der taking a big job but it is said
that they are prepared to make
their fight before the legislature.
Every citizen of the county
should put forth every effort to
have the bill killed.

According to Report Of Ac-
countant A. @. Alvord
Liens Books Show Shortage
of $1,975.OO According
to Report.

A. G.. Alvord of Superior, the
accountant who has been at
work during the past three or
four weeks checking over the
books of former County Treas
urer Henry O. Lien, finished his
work last Saturday and his de-
tailed report will be forthcoming
within few days. The report
of Mr.. Alvord will practically
substantiate the report as made
by accountant H. P. Axelberg to
the effect that the books showed
a shortage of nearly $1,000. Mr..
Axelberg's report covered the
last year while the report of Mr..
Alvord will cover the time that
Mr.. Lien has been in charge of
the Office. Every account for the
entire two years has been gone
into in detail, and a report made
of all moneys received and all
paid out, together with the
amount on hand at the time the
books were turned over to the
new treasurer Alfred Froseth.
This shows that there is short
age of $1975. 90 in round figures.
AS soon as District Attorney
E. G. Alvord receives a copy of
the detailed report from Ac-
countant Alvord he will make a
demand on the local agent of the
bonding company for the amount
and proceedings will be started
to collect the shortage as re-
ported.
Friends of Mr.. Lien here and
elsewhere are in hopes that he
will be able to make up the
amount of the shortage in which
event the proceedings will likely
be dropped and the matter
closed.

On The Anxious Seat

A number of the saloon men OF
Bayfield, are said to be on the anxi-
Gus seat caused by the visit to their
saloons last Sunday of a number of
the members of the Bayfield, Anti
saloon league. In almost all of the
places visited evidence was secured,
drinks having been purchased in a
number of the places. 1t is said
that the Ants are going to ask that
that the licenses of the saloon men
be taken away for the violation of
the law.

Mertz and Void Buildings
Damaged Sunday Morning
Fire Started in Wold Build.
ing and Flames Spread to
Mertz Property.

The Wold building on west
Bayfield, street was almost
totally destroyed, and the Mertz
store building adjoining was
badly damaged in a fire which
started in the Void building at
about two o'clock last Sunday
morning. The origin of the fire
is considerable of a mystery as no
onehad been occupying the build
ing where the blaze started,
Mrs. Void having moved to
Ashland some time ago. On
account of the early hour of the
fire it was not discOv-
cred until it had gained consid-
cradle headway, and it was some
time before the fire companies
arrived upon the scene. The
Mertz building was not thought
to have been in danger and the
work of the tiremen was direct
ed to the burning structure.
The Mertz building is covered
with a tin sheeting and this pro-
tected the sides of the building,
but the flames caught on the
roof and worked under the
shingles into the attic OF the
place and it was but a very short
time before the upper floor was
all ablaze. The work of fighting
this was made rather difficult,
and it was not antil after the
entire upper floor of the build
ing had been damaged that the
flames were finally extinguished.
The household goods owned by
Mrs. Wold which we're stored in
the building were almost a total
loss, and the Mertz stock of con-
fectionery, cigars and tobaccos
and notions were damaged to a
large extent by the water which
was poured into the building
above. Tie household goods
owned by Mr.. Mertz in that
part of the building where the
fire ragged are almost total loss.
Mr.. Mertz's loss is covered
by insurance, but it is not
thought there was any insurance
on the Void building or con-
tents.
Mr.. Mertz expects to rebuild
his building as soon as the loss
has been adjusted. but the Wold
property will in all probability
be torn down. This is the Sec
Ond fire that has occurred in the
Wold building in the last two
years and the building now is
practically ruin ed.

The item we published last week
to the effect that the fishing rights
on the Cranberry river in the north
ern part of the county were fast be-
ing sold, was not very well received
by local fishermen who have been
making large catches in that stream
for many years, for they see in ad-
vance the day when their pleasure
will be cut off. Of course there is
nothing that will prohibit the ang-
ler in fishing the river, providing
that he keeps in the stream, but this
is almost impossible on account of
the depth of the water in places, and
the fisherman would have to be an
expert swimmer in order not to tres
pass over other peoples property.
The fishing rights on the Onion riv-
er have also been sold so that the
number of streams have been dimin-
ished by two during the past week.
Eventually the time will come when
Bayfield, county fishermen will have
to.seek other streams if they wish to
follow up the sport.

wouldn't stand such condac; unless
she was as untidy as her husband.

Death of Henry Oscar

Henry A. Oscar, son of Mr..
and Mrs. T. A. Oscar, died yes
terday morning at nine O'Clock
at the farm home of his parents
southeast of the city after a
years illness with tuberculosis.
The announcement of the death
came as great shock to the
community for there was few
that thought Henry to be SO
near deaths door.
Henry was taken i'll with the
dread disease over a year ago
and although he has made a
gallant fight to recover his
health, yet to no avail, and
death came very suddenly yes
terday to relieve him of his long
suffering. When first taken ill
Henry went to Minneapolis
where he took the open air
treatment under the care of DIR.
Lampson, formerly of this city,
and after being there all winter
returned to this city apparently
much benefited in health. He
continued to live the out of door
life at the farm and last Septem-
ber was feeling so well that he
resumed his position as chief en-
gineer at the dynamite plant at
Barksdale. He continued at his
work until about Christmas time
when his health again began to
fail and about three weeks ago
he started for Denver. Col, but
after arriving there found that
he was unable to stand the high
altitude and was compelled to
return to this city. The trip
proved a hard one and since re-
turning home he has been con-
fined to his bed, and the final
end came very unexpectedly
yesterday. All along Henry
and his family and friends have
had hopes that he would recov-
er. aud there was none that
realized that the end was near.
At is seldom that we have been
called upon to chronicle a death
that has given US greater sor-
row than that of Henry, COM
panlon of our boyhood days. It
has not been our good fortune to
know brighter or better COM
panlon. He was a universal
favorite, not only with his
associates, but with all who
knew him. He was a young
man with a bright future
and it is indeed sorrowful that t
death should claim him so early
in life.
Henry has lived in this city
since his boyhood days, and he
was known by almost every one
in the city. He was graduate
of the Washburn High School,
being a member of the class of
1899. During the past few
years he has been employed at
the plant at Barksdale, and
two years held the position of
chief engineer. having been pro-
noted to that position on ac-
count of his falthfulness toduty.
The body of the deceased will
be brought to the T. A. Oscar
residence in this city tomorrow
where it may be viewed by
friends from 10 a. n. TO / p. m.
The funeral services will be held
at the residence at 2:3O p. M,
Rev. Christensen and Rev. Plant
having charge of the services
The Knights of Pythias lodge,
of which he was a member,
will have charge of the services
