The Washburn base ball team will
go to Ashland next Sunday where
they will play game OF base ball
with the Ashland first team. The
Washburn aggregation have been
longing for this contest for some
time and good exhibition OF the
national game is expected. Ash
land and Washburn have good
teams and it will undoubtedly be
one OF the best games that has been
played in this section this season.
Ashland defeated the WashburA
team at the beginning of the season
but our team has been greatly
strengthened since that time. At
the present time the two teams are
on about an even footing. The
w ashburn management request:
that goodly NUN Der OF fans ae'

help them win the contest.

4 HORRIBLE DEATH
Ellison Drake, Formerly of
This City, Killed at
Eau Gale


Ellison Drake, of Eau Gale, this
state, who eight years ago was resi-
dent of this city, met with horrible
death at Eau Gale this week when
he got caught in the shalt at the 10
cal power plant with the result that
his body was pounded to pieces. Mr..
Drake was employed as engineer at
the plant and it is supposed that he
was engaged in oiiing the machine
when a part of his clothing caught in
the shalt. Mr.. brakes little girl
went over to the plant shortly after
breakfast to visit with her father and
there she found her fathers body
still swinging around the shalt. She
ran to the home of the night watch
man and he ran over and stopped the
machine. Mr.. brakes head and legs
were pounded to pieces. He leaves
wife and two children to mourn his
sad death.

WOULD RETAIN PASTOR
Methodists Vote Unanimous
ly to Retain j. FL.
Chatterson

At the quarterly conference of the
Methodist church of this city held at
the church last Friday evening it was
unanimously voted to retain the pre-
sent pastor J. III. Chatterson for an
other year. The meeting was pre-
sided over by Presiding Elder j. H.
Irish of the Ashland District and was
quite largely attended. The differ
ent reports of the work done during
the past year were gone over and
showed the church to be in a flourish
ing condition. Many repairs have
been made to the church property
during the past year and these have
about all been paid for besides keep
ing up the regular church work. Rev.
Chatterson has been a hard worker
and it is due to his personal supervi-
sion to large extent, and the efforts
of the church people, that the church
has been built up.
Rev. Chatterson will go tolthe annu-
al Conference of Methodist churches
this week when it will be decided
whether or not he will be returned.

Will Meet Tuesday to
Investigate CHARGES
MADE AGAINST COUNTY ROAD COMMssI0NEREBEN OLSON
Neglect of Duties in the Office of Road Commissioner
Filed at the Last Meeting OF
the County Board.

work in the same country which
was let out to contractors was
built at the rate of $500 per
mile. The committee could not
see why this vast difference
should exist and there is also
large number of people who will
be anxious to know.
The county road question has
been the subject of conversation
by many since the report was
published a week ago and many
taxpayers of the county are be-
coming Interested in the
matter. One gentlman said
that he could not see why coun-
ty road work was not let out to
contractors after bids had -been
submitted the same as is done
on.sother public work. He said
it was a known fact that public
work could be completed much
cheaper when let out to bidders
than it could be otherwise, and
he said to bis knowledge this
had never been done on county
road work. Others believe that
not enough attention is paid to
tie road work by those in
charge and this accounts for the
high cpst OF road building.
During the past two years
nearly thirty Thousand dollars
has been collected by special levy
for Improvement of the county
highway system and this amount
has all been expended. Nearly
fifteen thousand more has been
collected for the work to be
done the present season and Tor
this largeamount of money there
should be a good many results.
The investigation which is now
being carried on by the county
board will undoubtedly result in
the county road question being
handled much differently from
this time on and if this is done
more work can certainly be ac-
lcomplished.

Nav Abandon Long Bridge

The long bridge at the head of the
bay which spans Fish Greek and
which has served the people OF Ash
land and Washburn and surrounding
country for so many years will in
all probability be abandoned after
the present year. In is stead a
new road will very likely be laid out
and new steel bridge erected to
span fish creek. At the meeting Of
the county board held last week the
committee reported on this piece of
the county road system but did not
feel that they were able to recon-
mend what should be done until
after an expert engineer and road
builder had examined the country
down that way to see what could De
done in, the way of putting through
permanent road but it was the
opinion that the long bridge should
be abandoned.
The long bridge is the longest one
in this part of the country aud be.
ing wooden structure, the expense
of keeping it has been heavy. 1t is
estimated that it will cost ir the
neighborhood of eight thousand to
renlace the bridge and then it would
only last for a time. With the a
mount good share ia permanent
road could be built. Those who are
familiar with the country down that
way do not believe that what Is
known as the 'canal route car
ever be made into good road, but
with some filling at the head of the
bay and a good steel span. good
road could be made.

future and all who were residents
of the city prior to the year 1887
are eligible to membership. 1t is
thought that there is nearly seven
ty-five people who have lived here
for twenty-f five years or more so that
the club ought to start out with a
big membership. The plan is to
form club and meetings will be
he'd from time to time to talk over
old times and enjoy socialYtime.
All those who have been in the city
for twenty-five years or more are
requested to leave their names al
either the News or the Times office.
Notice of meeting will be an
nounced at some future date.

An Air.hip Exhibition


There is no question but what the
recent wonderful aviation meet in
Chicago at which time on one day
was gathered the greatest crowd
that has ever been assembled in one
enclosure in modern times, has
stimulated great deal of interest
in exhibitions of flying machines
throughout this part of the county,
1t is fortunate therefore at this time
that the people of this vicinity will
/, have the opportunity of witnessing
one of these exhibitions right here in
northern Wisconsin.
The Ashland County Fair Associ-
tion has arranged with one Of the
Curtiss Company aviators to give
three separate fights on each day
of September 13 and IA of their fair
and undoubtedly large crowd OF
people from this section will go to
Ashland to witness this exhibition.
The Ashland County Fair associa-
ton we're obliged to put up guar
antee of $l400 cash in order to close
this contract with the company hav-
ing the successful aviators that are
managed by the Curtiss concern,
and go to Ashland to see one o
these wonderful machines Enavigat
ing the air, will be well worth a trir
as far as Ashland during the fail
week.

Washburn Team Wins out
in Both Games
Scores of IL to 2 and 4 to 2
Recorded in Games
Against Visitors.

Washburn came out the victorsin the
two games played with the Bessemer,
Mich. team on the grounds in tn is
city Sunday and Monday. The Sun
day game was witnessed by large
number of base ball fans but did not
prove very interesting contest. A.
Gordon was on the slab for Wash
burn during the first six innings of
the game while G. Gordon pitched
the remaining three innings. Both
were given gilt-edge support by the
rest of the team and some pretty
plays were pulled off against the
visitors. A score of IL to was re-
corded during the game, Washburn
making seven scores in the third inn
ing of the game. The playing of the
Bessemer team was very ragged all
through the game and many errors
were marked up against them. The
locals pounded the ball out into the
field continually during the game and
many more runs could have been
made had they not got tired running
bases, Wiley and Posey making a
majority of the hits.
The Monday game of six innings
was played during steady rain and
good playing could not be accomp-
lished by either side. Bessemer
made the first score during the first
i1ning of the game and another score
during the third inning. Washburn
scored during the second inning and
before the fifth inning had been
played it began to look as if Bessemer
might win the game. During this
inning Washburn had two men on
bases when Pete Hovde came up to
bat and the way he swatted the ball
was nothing slow. He drove the
pill out over the left field fence scor-
ing the two men on bases and bring
ing in one score for himself. 1t was
pretty drive and saved the game
for the locals.

To Serve Bayfield, County Product.


The church ladies who are to
give the Harvest Home sopper
on the End day of the Bayfield,
County Fair at Iron River have
decided on their bill of fare, and
it is attractive not only from an
epicurean standpoint but also
that everything served will be
the product of Bayfield, county.
Iron River will furnish the
chickens, Port Wing ham, Wash
burn cucumber pickles, Cornu-
copia potatoes. Grandview pump

so on down the line which is
quite large and interesting and
proves conclusively that Bay yield

: The County Board of Bay
field County will meet at the
court house in this city next
Tuesday morning in adjourned
session to investigate the
charges which we're preferred
against Highway Commissioner
Eben Olson by Chairman Lahti of
the town of Glover at the last
meeting of the County Board.
Mr.. Olson is charged with neg
lect of the duties of the Office of
road com missioner and also with
failure to comply with the sta
tutes of the law which provide
that he shall keep an itemized
account of the money expended
on county roads.
The charges were made by
Mr.. Lahti after the report of
the Committee on Roads and
Bridges of the County board had
been read. The com mittee we're
of the opinion that some radical
changes should be made and
they mentioned SO in their re-
report. They stated that they
did not believe the work on the
county road system was being
carried on the way that it should
be.
Some very interesting things
are likely to come out at the
special meeting which has been
called to investigate the charges.
The report of the committee
which vas published in full in
the last issue of this paper was
read with interest by those who
are interested in the work being
done on the highways in the
county and it is the opinion of
many that the work is costing
altogether too much money and
that radical changes should be
made at once. The report show
ed that in the town of Bayfield,
| it cost $3397 to build a mile and
a half of road under direction OF
the chairman of the town and
the road commissioner while

Spoiled by The Heavy Down
pour of Rain
Street Sports Could not be
Pulled off on Account
of Muddy Streets.

The plans of the Labor Day Com
mittee for rousing celebration on
Labor Day were almost completely
spoiled on account of the heavy rain
storm which visited this section dur
ing the day. At an early hour in
the morning the rain began to fall
and it continued to fall during the
greater part of the day. The parade
during the morning was pulled off
after fashion during rain spell.
The afternoon races and sports were
called off on account of the bad con-
dition of the streets and for time it
was thought that the ball game be-
tween Washburns and Bessemer would
also have to be abandoned. The
boys however we're game and started
the game although it was raining at
the time. Six innings of the game
were played and the game was called
off, Washburn having won by a score
of 4 to q. After the ball game the
horse races were pulled off but were
nothing like they should have beer
had the roads been favorable. Roy
Sarver of Sioux River won first place
in the race with Walter Hudson
second and Emerald Swanson third.
Dnring the evening dances were
held at the Opera House and the
Garden Hall.
