MEET CUT IN
STEEL PRICES
Trust and Independents Issue
New Schedule.
SEVEN PRODUCTS REDUCED
Prise of Wire and Rails VIII Probably
Remain as They Are - New List
Brings Prices Lower Than They
Have Been For Two Years.

7dVS OGSn wv
New York, May 30.-Oficers of the
United States Steel corporation and
of the larger Independents, meeting
at the Metropolitan club, resolved that
the present prices of steel products in
respect to seven items are too high
and ought to be reduced. What was
taken to be a fair reduction was pro-
posed, and the steel manufacturers ac'
guessed.
Judge Gary, chairman of the boarc
of the steel corporation, said after
ward that the new prices will doubt
less be generally followed Officers OF
the Republic Iron and Steel company,
the John W. Gates enterprise, which
precipitated the cut in prices, weren't
asked to attend.
The prices on the seven steel pro-
ducts named in the new list bring the
average of steel prices to a lower
level than they have held since 1909,
the last time that there has been dis
sension among steel producers, In
some instances the prices of individual
articles are lower than they were in
1909. Steel billets, for instance, are
lower than they have been at any
time since 1904. The cut on steel
bars was the same as that made by
the Republic last Wednesday and fol
lowed sporadically by other steel pro-
ducers since then Neither steel wire
which is the biggest single prod IcF
Ia the trade, speaking IN point OF tom
mage, nor rails were touched. There is
little likelihood that either of these
will be affected.
One of the Independents said the
most important item upon which the
price was cut was that of plates and
structurals. These compose about
per cent of the annual output Of the
country, and the price was lowered
cents on the hundred weight, max
ing the new rate s1.35 a hundred
pounds. Sheets of various grades and
sheet bars we're cut 2 or 8 cents a
pound. Altogether the new prices are
lower than they have been for two
years.
The commodities affected, with the
new prices, are as follows:
Steel bars Us cents per 100 pounds
on, SIPS base.
Plates and structurals Is cents PEI
100 pounds Off. s1.35 Off.
Black sheets GO cents per 100
pounds Off, cents per pound for No
% gauge.
Galvanized sheets, cents per pound
for No. % gauge.
Blue\ annealer sheets 10 cents per
100 pounds Off, $3.50 for No, 10
gauge.
Steel billets four inches square and
larger, $21 per gross ton.
Sheet bars, $22 per gross ton.

PACT WITH GERMANY
Indications of Willingness to Consider
Peace Treaty.

Washington, May 30.-SecretaTy OF
State Knox opened negotiations with
Germany for general arbitration
treaty similar to the one now being
negotiated between this government
and England and this government and
France
The German ambassador, Count
Bernstorff, called at the state depart
ment and formally asked for a copy
Of the tentative draft of the conven-
ton which has been submitted to
England and France as the basis of
negotiations.
This action by the German ambassa-
dor amounts to an expression of will
lingness on the kaiser's part to open
negotiations on this proposition. The
action of the German government
comes as surprise, as it was gener
ally supposed that it was opposed to

Getting Much Advertising

There is no section of Wisconsin
that is getting more free advertising
at the present time than the Bayfield,
County Peninsula. There was time
when the local people had to do all
the boosting but things have now
changed and the papers and maga-
zines of the country are writing up
this region as to its great fruit posi-
bilities. The result is that many
people who were heretofore attract
ed by the western fruit lands are
turning their attention this way and
many are buying lands in what
promises to become the leading fruit
section of the middle west. The
climatic conditions as found on the
Bayfield, peninsula as compared with
other places has been somewhat OF
a revelation to many people.

To Cover The Grandstand

Secretary Homer Posey of the
Washburn Base Ball Club informs us
that next week they expect to build
roof over the grandstand at the ball
park. A covering for the grandstand
has been needed for some time but
heretofore the boys have not felt that
they were able to start the work.
The club this year has been a sue
cess from start to finish and they
have just about succeeded in paying
for the new fence which was finished
this summer. The boys put up good
article of ball and they should be given
good support by the citizens. With
good attendance at the games play
ed in this city the club can be self
sustaining.

Special Meeting Called for
August 29th
County Road Matters and
Land Clearing Proposition
to Come up.

A call has been issued for special
meeting of the county board to be
held at the court house in this city
on Tuesday, August goth. The
meeting has been called for the pur-
pose of discussing the county road
proposition and it is understood that
the committee on Roads and Bridges
of the County Board will ask for
many changes. Some time ago this
committee made tour of the county
system of highways and it is said
that they are dissatisfied with the
work as being done and the purpose
of calling this special meeting is to
discuss the matter thoroughly.
Others in the county believe that
enough work is not being accomplished
for the money that is being expended
annually and the entire affair is likely
to have thorough airing when the
board meets in session.
Another question which will also
come up is the proposition for clear
ing land as is proposed in bill passed
at the last session of the state legis-
d,
lature. A number of farmers and
land owner in the county are desirious
of taking advantage of the law and
securing county aid with which TO
clear their land and petition to this
effect will undoubtedly be before the
board when they meet. The law
provides that when twenty or more
settlers in county, owning not less
than forty acres of land each, shall
petition the county board setting
forth that they are desirious of borrow
ing money with which to clear their
land, that the county board shall
issue bonds and sell them and raise
the money to do the work. The
money is not be turned over unit
the work has been approved by the
Chairman of the Board and County
Clerk. The county becomes sori
of loan agent in the matter, for the
loan is not county liability but be-
comes a special lien against the lane
and the principal together with the
interest is to be collected annually
the same as taxes. The loans car
run for period of from five to twenty
years and bear small rate of inter
est.

DEFEATED HURLEY
WaShburn Victorious in Game
Last Sunday.
Score of 4 to 2 Made Against
the Fast Team From
Hurley.

Manager Hams" Liens aggrega-
tion of ball tossers were victorious
again last Sunday when they went up
against the team from Hurley, reputed
to be one of the strongest teams in
the northern part of the state. The
game, which was called at 80 p.
M, had not progressed very far when
it was evident that the Hurley team
was due for beating. The local
boys played their usual snappy game
but the playing of the Hurley team
was slow and the contest was dragged
out for a period of two hours and
fifteen minutes. The first score in
the game was made in the first half
of the fourth inning when Hurley
succeeded in crossing the plate.
Their other run which was made in
the 1st half of the 5th inning was
made when Olson knocked the ball
just over the 1st base into right field.
Gordon made for the ball but after it
hit the ground he could not locate it
and home run was recorded. Had
the ball beeen found the hit would
not have been good for more than
one base.
Washburn scored first in the fourth
inning and two runs were made in
the fifth and another in the sixth.
The following is a detailed score of
the game:

The College at the Door.

The introduction OF a two years
course of college work in the normal
schools of the state is the most
significant step yet taken in the
movement to bring the higher edu-
cation close to the people.
Instead of one state school where
young. men and women may be-
gin college course there will now
be nine-the university and eight
normal schools.
Higher education will therefore
not only be more readily accessible
in Wisconsin than it was before,
but the reduced cost of travel to-
gether with the reduced cost of liv-
ing implicit in attending college at
or near home should make this edu-
cation possible for many who are ex-
cluded from it's benefits today.
Yet this is but one of the many
advantages of the normal school
college course, which when COM
pleted, will enable the student to
enter without other preliminaries,
the junior year at the university.
The relatively small size of the
student body at the normal school
is also desirable for these reasons.
At the great universities underclass-
men are herded in classes of hun
dreds and under poorly paid in
structors. They do not receive the
benefit of instruction under the
leading professors. nor, for that
matter, do they enjoy any of that
personal contact with their teachers
which is conceded to be the most
valuable factor in college career.
The courses and studies in the
normal school college are dupll-
cate OF those offered by the Univer-
sity of Wisconsin in the college of
letters std science, and the system
of credits is the same. However.
the normal school year is four weeks
longer than the university year.
The entrance requirements of the
normal school college are the same
as those of the university. The
regents however have taken adyanc-
ed ground in this that they accredit
all Wisconsin four-year free high
schools that are in receipt of state
aid.
This new departure is the educa-
tional service of the Wisconsin nor
malschools is undoubtedly the most
progressive step taken by a state
noted fer its educational leadership.
IL will be watched with great in
terest by the rest Of country.

Stevens farm some of the sheep
which we're lying along the fence
Jumped out of the tall grass and
frightened the team. The
horses ran near rock pile and
this tipped the wagon over,
throwing Mr.. Swanson against
the rocks. The horses ran to
Houghton and we're stopped by
Mr.. Brodin. Mr.. Swanson
walked to Houghton and from
there was brought home. He

Land For Experimental Sta
ton Purchased for State
Work Will Soon be Begun by
University Agricultural
Department.

As was announced i'm this paper
last week Bayfield, and Ashland county
have joined together in the purchase
of 100 acres of land near Ashland
Junction in Bayfield, county to be
used for state experimental farm.
The Bayfield, county order for $4,000,
or half of the purchase price, was
made out week ago, and was for
warded to Ashland last Friday. The
deed to the land was secured by the
Ashland National Bank and has been
turned over to the state and the land
is now in the hands of the agricultur-
al department of the state University
1t is the intention of the Univer-
sity to begin the work at once OF
clearing and fencing the land and
next spring suitable buildings will be
erected on the land. This will call
for the expenditure of nearly SIS 900
during the first two years by the
state. The land will be kept in a
high state of cultivation and the
buildings to be erected will all be
modern.
The land selected is ideal for ex-
perimental work and its location at
the Junction where the Northern
Pacific and Omaha trains pass daily
on their way to Ashland and Wash
burn and other points makes it all the
more valuable as. an advertising
feature for this part of the country
for travellers can view the farm from
the windows of the train. Options
on more land adjoining will be secured
by the state and as the farm grows
more land will be purchased. This
will eventually be the biggest expert
mental farm in the state and it's 10.
cation means much to the Chequmegor
Bay district.

Did Some Shooting

John Delone, a local carpenter,
caused some little excitment last Fri
day morning when he borrowed re-
volver and took it to his home where
he fired several shots. Chief of Po-
lice Boyd Cameron was called and De-
lone, who had locked himself in a
room, refused to let the officer in say
ing that he would sh oot if they at
tempted to break the door in. Two
or three others were with officer
Cameron and they told Delone that
unless he unlocked the door they
would put ladder up and climb
through the window. The others
ran down the stairs while Mr.. Gamer
on stood alongside of the door. De-
lone, hearing the others running
down the stairs, opened the door
and was grabbed by Mr.. Cameron
who disarmed him. Delone was
locked up iii the city Jail for the day
and was brought before Judge War
den the following morning. Delone
took the pledge to go on the water
wagon and he was released.

AMATEUR HORSES
Race Meet of Home "Nags"
at County Fair
Fair Association Puts Ur
Price for Best Amateur
Race at Fair.

Two of the horse races that will
undoubtedly attract good deal of
attention at the Bayfield, County
Fair to be held at Iron River during
the fair time is the Bayfield, County
Aipateur Driving Race and the Novel
ty Race. Both of these races are for
Bayfield, county horses exclusively, all
livery horses and professional hor ses
being barred. In order to encourage
those having fast horses to get them
out at the fair a purse of $4,000 has
been offered for each of the races.
The Novelty race is something out of
the ordinary. In this race when the
word is given to start each driver
must harness his horse and start off
as soon as ready, whether the others
are ready or not. In this case the
man slowest in harnessing may have
the fastest horse and win the race.
These two races are tending to
create an interest among horsemen
throughout the county and it is ex-
pected that goodly number of horses
will be on hand to enter the race.
The usual number of good fast
horses will also race at the fair dur
ing the three days,

On STATE ANTI-TU-
BERCULOS|S STAFF
Well-know Sociologist and
Charity Worker to Aid
Associations Fight

Milwaukee, Wis. August 10.
Mrs. Anna Bartholomew, until re-
Gently at the head of Associated
Charities in Racine. has been ap
pointe to the staff OF the Wiscon-
sin Anti-Tuberculosis Associs tion to
aid in securing for the cities of the
state adequate care in the treat
ment of and in the control of infec-
tion from advanced cases of tuber-
culosis.
Mrs. Bartholomew, who has had a
thorough training and experience
in practical sociological investiga-
tions, will begin her activities in
Kenosha and Racine and in other
cities that have been the subject of
Investigations by the association
through Miss Sarah West Ryder,
the visiting nurse, who is at pres
ent beginning a months work in
Manitowoc.
.'In accordance with the establish
ed policy of the association" says
Executive Secretary, DR.. II. E.
Dearholt, "Mrs. Bartholomew will
direct her efforts largely TO secur-
ing in each city the employment of
a trained tuberculosis nurse to work
in connection with the health de-
partment. As experience has
shown that the only efficient method
of combating the disease is through
local effort directed against the chief
source of infection, the advanced
case. the services of visiting nurses
has been proven invaluable.
"It will be manifestly impossible
to expect the county sanatoria to
care for all advanced cases. in spite
of the fact that q number Of coun-
ties have made great progress along
that line in the few weeks since the
passage of the county sanatorium
bill. Some cases MUS be treated
at home. Here is where the visit
ing nurse comes In, and where "a
regularly employed nurse would be
practical solution; and logically
she would work to best advantage in
connection with the health depart
ment.
