Strong for State Aid

Although county clerks are not re-
quired by law to report until October
1st the amounts voted by the vari-
Gus towns and counties for state aid
Improvement. preliminary reports
are already in from many of them.
Information received from this and
other sources would indicate that
thirty FIVE counties will ask state aid
in excess of their apportonment.
thirty-two will ask for amounts less
than their apportionment, and four
have taken no action.
Those counties in which the towns
have failed to vote any money, or
Fonorgb money TO exhauststle state
aid available for the county, still
have chance to get state aid if the
county board at a special meeting
held on or before October 1st votes
a county tax equal 10 two thirds OF
the cost of the desired road i'm
provementS.
The proceeds of the county tax,
together with the state money, may
be speLt on the county system OF
prospective state highways at a
place selected by the county board
or it's committee. Money voted by
the towns together with the county
and state aid drawn by it, must be
spent at points on the system select
ed by the people of the town or by
the town board.
Final apportionment of the state
money will be made before Noyem-
ber 1st. Blanks on which to report
to the State Highway Commission
all amounts voted, have been sent to
all county clerks.

with products from other counties of
the northern part of the state. The
exhibit was in charge of b. G..
Parker, immigration commissioner.
The immigration Bureau was en-
deavoring to show what could be
grown on the cut-over lands of the
northern part of the state and they
were pretty successful in this at the
state fair. Mr.. Parker could point
with pride to the northern grown
produce for it was among the best on
exhibit. at the fair.
The two exhibits will be shown at
the state fair at Illinois and at the
United States Land and Irrigation
Congress at Chicago.

Ashland papers are just beginning
to realize the remarkable enthusiasm
that prevails in the Washburn and
Bayfield, fruit sections and the Ash
land papers are urging the same line
OF development for the Ashland side
of the bay. The Ashland papers are
giving much space TO fruit growing
in this district and every few days
an article appears on the subject.
We hope that fruit can be raised
just as successfully on the Ashland
side of the bay as it can in this
region for the Chequamegon bay
district cannot raise an over abund-
ance of the quality of fruit that is
now being grown in the Washburn
and Bayfield, districts.

Old Settlers to Organize a
Club Next Monday
Meeting for That Purpose to
be Held at the Commercial
Club Rooms.

A meeting has been called for next
Monday evening at the Commercial
Club at which the old settlers of the
city will form what is to be known as
the odd Settlers Club. All resi-
dents of the city who have been here
prior to Jan. 1st, 1887 are eligible to
membership and those who are inter
ested in forming the club request that
as many as possible be present on
Monday evening. The purpose of the
organization as we understand it is to
form social organization which will
meet from lime to time to talk over
old times and to hear papers and
addresses upon the early history OF
Washburn. 1t is also planned to hold
a banquet from time to time SO that
all old settlers can get better ac-
uuainted. The club is to be formed
for social benefits only.
M. C. Lincoln, who is one of the
chief boosters for the club. says that
it is his opinion that there are about
seventy-fve people in the city who
have lived here prior to 1887. With
that number large club could be
formed and no doubt some very
pleasant times could be had by the
members.

and after short time had the bodies
on shore. While neighbors and friends
worked over the bodies in hope ofsav-
ing their lives, the father ran to the
Irish farm and telephoned for medi-
cal assistance. DIR. I. r. Spears was
notified. The Peavey automobile
was brought into play with Mr.. Pea
vey at the steering wheel and the
trip to Houghton was made in just
eight minutes. The doctor worked
over the girls for more than an hour
but life was extinct and all hope had
to be abandoned.
The accident is one of the saddest
that has occurred near this city or Vi
cinity for years. The girls were just
in the prime of life and had many
friends in this city and Houghton.

Judge Atkinson Dead.

Joseph S. Atkinson, for the
past thirty nine years resident
of Bay field, died last Wednes-
day afternoon at his home on
FaIt avenue after lingering
i'll ,ess. His death came as a
great shock to his many friends
in the Chequamegon Bay region.
Judge Atkinson first came to
Bayfield, in 1872 and since that
time he has taken an active part
in the social, fraternal and poll
cal life of the city. For the past
thirty years he has served as
Justice of peace at Bay field and
when the new Municipal court
was created at Bayfield, last
spring Mr.. Atkinson was ap
pointed as it's Judge by Govern
or Francis e. McGovern. He
was veteran of the Civil War,
having served in Company b.
18th Maine Infantry Volunteers,
and was member of the A. E.
Burnside Post of the Grand
Army of the Republic. His loss
will be greatly felt by his many
friends throughout Bayfield,
County.

WELL REPRESENTED
Washburn People Take In
terest in County Fair
Nearly Three Hundred from
this City Went Over on
Special Train

The County Fair itch has been
held at Iron River during the past
three days and which will be brought
to close tonight, has been one of
the best fairs that has ever been
held in Bayfield, county and the gen.
eral attendance will exceed all form
er years. People from all parts of
the county took an active interest
this year which was shown by the at
tendance from outside towns. Over
three hundred people from this city
were in attendance at the fair yester-
day and large number are in at
tendance today. A special train of
three coaches was run over the North
ern Pacific line yesterday to take care
of the Washburn people.
The exhibits at the fair grounds
were fine, excelling former years.
The large exhibit hall which was
completed just in time for the fair,
was filled with produce from all parts
of the county, many of the towns and
cities having special tables arranged
for them. The exhibit of Washburn
Iron River and Port Wing is desery-
ing special mention for they were
very tastefully arranged. The Wash
burn exhibit was in charge of Messrs.
HI. H. Burns, E. c. Stevens and
John O'Sullivan and they are to be
congratulated on their work in get
ting up the exhibit. 1t was a beauty
all through and was arranged on the
taigIe to show up to the best advan-
tage. The taDie7w was trimmed with
bunting and lowered napkins. Fruit
decorated the edge of the table on
all sides with the display ofvegetables
and other products in the center. 1t
will be in competition for the grand
sweepstake prize which was awarded
by the association.
Port Wings display was mostly of
apples with pictures of the different
farms from which the fruit was taken
arranged on board above the ex-
hibit with the name Port Wing
made of apples. They also had
vegetable exhibit which was good.
The Iron River exhibit consisting
of grains, Vegetable, from produce and
fruit was very good. Barksdale and
Cornucopia also had special spaces at
the hall. ~
The poultry and stock exhibit was
very good, many varieties OF fine
stock being shown. A number OF
Washburn poultry and stock ex-
hibitors came in for first and second
prizes.
The general exhibits at the fair
were far better than year ago, each
department being well filled. WASH
burn exhibitors made big sweep of
the premium offered for canned
goods, fancy work and needle work,
etc. The fruit and produce had not
been judged up to last evening SO
were unable to say to whom the prizes
will be awarded but Washburn ex-
hibitors will come in for their share.
At some later date we expect to give
a list of the Washburn winners.

People are getting mighty sour
over this increase in the price of
sugar.
In Indiana the other day a sheep
killed a dog. Now the chances are
the lawmakers will have to put
a tax on sheep to protect the dog

Attorney John Walsh attended
the state fair at Milwaukee during
the past week.

of news for publication, but if we
happen to miss an item in which
they are inter rested they are sure to
hand us a north-pole stare that
would freeze the liver of polar
bear.
