SUMMERS DEFEATS BUSHEY|
Bayfield, Fighter Given the
Count in +he Second
Round.

The athletic entertainment
given under the auspices of the
Owl lodge at the Opera House in
this city on Christmas night was
largely attended by people from
this city, Ashland and Bayfield,,
there being an audience of about
two hundred and fifty in attend
ance. The main bout of the
evening was scheduled as a ten
round no decision contest be-
tween William Summers of
Ashland and Charley Bcnshey
of Bayfield,. From the very first
it could be seen that Summers
was the master. The bout only
lasted one and a half rounds
when Boushey went down for
the count of ten. In the in.
fighting during the two rounds
he was Hammered considerable
by his opponent. Summers was
in tine pink of condition.
The best bout of the evening
was the match between Frank
Messiner of this city and "Kid"
Jasper of New York City.
Jasper was considered consider
able of a mixer but from the
very beginning of 4he contest
Messiner took the wind out of
his sails by using Battling Mel
son tactics and rushing his
opponentabout the ring, hammer
ing him continually. Jasper
stood the onslaught until the
middle Of the third round when
he threw up the spongue. Since
Messiner's first appearance in
the ring less than year ago he
las developed into quite a boxer.
and as he has the staying
qualities and considerable steam
he will undoubtedly develop into
a good little fighter.
The preliminary contest be-
tween Young Johnson and Young
Oberts went two rounds when
Oberts quit, claiming an injured
shoulder. On going into the ring
he stated that he could not con-
tinue the contest long.
The bout between young
Franzell and young Lowery of
Ashland was a good little contest
and entertained the crowd at the
start of the evening perform

Loggers are Rejoicing

Loggers in the northern part
OF Wisconsin, aud in this
vicinity who have been given
considerable concern over the
soft condition of the weather
are rejoicing over the cold wave
which struck this section Mon
day morning and which has
continued since that time. They
will now be able to go ahead with
their winter work in good
shape. Up until this week the
loggers have been considerably
hindered on account of not hav-
ing any ice roads but now that
the weather has turned colder
they can be built without diff
Guilty. There is large amount
of work to be done in the woods
in northern Wisconsin this year
and as there is only about two
and half months left in whici, to
do the logging the work from
this time on will have to be
rushed in order to complete the
cuts figured on. 1t will mean
that woods work will be more
brisk during the coming two or
three months.

Reports received BY the Wiscon-
Highway Commission indicate that
compliance with the terms OF the
new State Aid Highway Law was
practically unanimous. There we're
six counties in the State n which 10
money was voted by the towns un-
der the State Aid Law, hese coun-
ty boards, Of course, beAaIo spec.-.
action to take this fan. The re-
manning sixty five counties lin the
State. except one, compiled fully
with the terms of the law. 1t is
expected that this one county will
take action at future meeting.
Statements in the press Of the
state seemingly intimated that La
Crosse, Vernon. Monroe and Trem-
pealaan counties had not, and
would not, act under the law. All
of these counties complied fully with
the law and either reelected their
County Highway Commissioners, or
ia case OF Vernon and Monroe coun-
ties, elected new ones. Lacrosse
County. since the state aid Fund
for that County was inadequate to
meet the town votes, even voted an
additional county tax OF $25O0 to
make up the deficiency. Both La
Crosse and Trempealeau counties
have been doing excellent work un-
der the state aid law.
Indications are that road work
und er the state aid law will be done
in five hundred towns in sixty-two
counties in the state to the amount
of 81, 100, 900. With this amount il
is expected to build about 220 miles
of stone road; 150 miles of gravel
road; rs miles of shale road and 200
miles of dirt road; total of about
645 miles of road OF all classes. In
addition to this, there will be built
about 14O bridges costing in the
neighborhood of $l50.OOO, in 12s

indicative of the strong LaFollette
sentiment in the Presidents own
state of Ohio the following straw
vote, which is ore of many, will be
found valuable. Il was taken on q
preferential ballot. Each voter was
asked 10 record for whom he voted
10 1908 and his preference for 1912,
the Republicans having the choice of
Harmon, Taft and LaFollette, and
tho Democrats, Bryan and Wilson.
Not all the voters filed out all the
sections OF the ballot and the poll,
therefore, is in one sense imperfect.
But in its definite pointing to La
Toilette as the choice of the people,
there can be nc mistaking the
evidence. The poll showed:
Taft 3, Fackler 1, Wilson 10, Har-
mon I6, Roosevelt 10, LaFollette 81.

WAS WELL ATTENDED
Many Farmers and Others
Attend the Farmers
Institute.

The farmers institute which was
conducted in this city last Thursday
and Friday by L. E. Scott Of Stanley
was well attended by the farmers and
others of this section. The lectures
on the various subjects by those in
charge Of the institute proved very
interesting to those in attendance.
On Thursday evening j. L. Herbst of
Sparta gave talk on the Co-Opera-
tive societies by farmets, giving them
some idea of the benefits to be de-
rived from such an association. Mr..
Herbst is member Of the Sparta
Cooperative society and talked from
experience. He said that in order
to get the best results from the sale
of fruits and vegetables the farmers
should have an organization with a
competant man at the head. A
general discussion of the subject
followed the lecture. Friday MORN
ing the institute took up the remain
ing subjects on the program, bringing
the meeting to close during the
early part of the afternoon. On
whole the institute was very good
one, although the attendance was not
as large as it might have been had it
been given after the holidays.
