MY. how the Democrats have been
aching to get at The making OF tariff
after their own heart! The opportun-
it ycomes to them on the fourth of
April and with one accord the Demo-
cratic press is shouting "DON'T."
Just meet. perform one or two per-
functory stunts and adjourn" Thus
they are being iran,ically advised by
their newspaper councillors. Funny,
isn't it, how afraid these folks are to
do what they have been clamoring for
a chance to do. Ii the Republican
tariff is so ubiquitous thing as they
Calm. why not hasten to destroy it,
and substitute one OF their own max
ing? Why postpone the matter Tor
year? After all these elaborate dis
cussions OF tariff legislation, they
ought to be able to handle this sub
ject az moments notice. But they
don't want to handle it. It's loaded.

Short Crop OF
cow PEAS

The enormous demand for Cow Peas last year
carried the price very high, and as the crop is
very short and acreage is rapidly extending there
are many indications which point to much high
er prices as the sowing season approaches.
WHIP-POOR-WILL COW PEAS
The Whip-poor-wlls are generally preferred in
the Central and Southern States. They are bush
form, early maturing and especially desirable
for Peas.
NEW ERA COW PEAS.
New Era's are little earlier, and make more
vine than the Whip-poor-wills.
WoNDERFULS CLAYS AND MINED COW
PEAS.
For Hay, the Wonderfuls or Mixed Cow Peas
are more productive. they should always be
planted with an occasional grain of Corn, Sorp-
hum Seed, Kaffr Corn ETC., which will prevent
the vines from getting damaged by coming in
contact with the ground.
BLACK COW PEAS.
Black Cow Peas are little later in maturing
than Clays. they make good growth of vine,
are exceptionally good fer medium poor land
and Will stand almost any amount of wet wealth.

According to the Ashland News,
the experimental farm is in a fair
way to be established on the land
near Ashland Junction purchase d
jointly by Ashland and Bayfield,
counties. The News says:
"It seems to be practically an
established fact that the new ex.
perimental farm authorized by the
state legislature, will be established
on. the tract of land near Ashland
Junction that has been jointly pur
chased for this purpose by Ashland
and Bayfield, Count ties. Quite a
number of other counties in north
ern Wisconsin have made offers OF
land for this purpose to the state
but as the agricultural school of the
state University is desiyous of.l eat
ing this new farm on typical cla y
soil, from what can be learned, the
Ashland Bayfield, location will surely
be selected.
Yesterday Prof. Whitson and
his assistant, Prof. Mausbaum,
were up from Madison to look into
some of the final details regarding
the character OF this soil on this
tract of land in order to Hraly de.
termine the matter. -
"Prof. Whitson inspected the
tract last summer when the weather
was extremely dry and he came here
at this time when it was wet to as
certain the situation under all con-
ditions and he is very favorably i'm
pressed with the tract and also its
location Immediately adjoining Ash
lard juno tion. Prof. Whitson is
the soil expert for the University
and he says the land in this tract
with the exception of about ten or
twelve acres is the typic Il clay soil
desirable, the small portion referred
to being sandy"

A Big Newspaper Enterprise

The Milwaukee Journal, Wiscon-
sins largest daily newspaper, on
June 1st, reduced its subscription
rate $500 per year to readers, by
mail, in advance. The Journal be-
lieves that the price of print paper
must go lower and is taking great
hazard in naming this reduced
price for the coming year.
The publishers state that, regard
less of consequences. they will stand
bv all subscriptions taken at this
rate, during the life OF subscription.
Furthermore. that the paper will
not be allowed to go backward but
to the contrary will be improved
from time to time as occasion re-
quires. The journa. was the pioneer
newspaper to give to readers direct
a low subscription price.

WON AND LOST
Washburn Breaks Even in
Two Games Played
Sunday.

The Washburn base ball team
split even on honors last Sunday
in two games played, one with
the Drummond team and the
other with the Mason team at
Mason.
In the first game the locals
played in rather hard luck and
were unable to score in the eight
innings played. Their batting
was good and they succeeded in
pounding the ball out into the
field on several occasions but the
Drum mond boys were always
in the spot just where the ball
was going to land and the high
flies were all gobbled up as fast
as they were batted out. Gordon
for the Washburn team held the
visitors down to very few hits,
striking out thirteen men dur
ing the game. One bad error
and two wild throws let in three
of the four scores. The score
was A to O.
The Washburn boys left On
the 3:20 train for Mason where
they played good game on the
Mason diamond, winning out by
score of six to two. Tina Burke
pitched the first half of the
game and was succeeded by
Gordon. In the fifth inning the
locals pounded the ball out for
five runs and another was made
in the seventh. The Mason team
scored in the first and fifth inn
ings. The feature of the game
was a home run by Carver,
bringing in three scores.

To Form an Association

A large number OF the fruit
growers of the Washburn dis
trict have joined a movement to
organize fruit growers associa-
tion for this city and at a meet
ing held recently a com mittee
consisting of George r. Morgan,
e. G. Stevens and e. Bryan
we're appointed to formulate
plans and another meeting will
be held very soon at which the
association will be thoroughly
organized. The fruit growers
realize that they must organize
il they are to handle their fruit
in satisfactory manner and the
association will be brought about
within the next week or So.
There is now about thirty acres
planted to Strawberries in the
Washburn district and the plan
is to hire a fruit man who will
grade the fruit and place the
same in the markets where it
will command the highest market
price. The grower will be paid
for his fruit according to grade
and price received. 1t is be-
lieved that if the fruit is handled
by an experienced man that it
will arrive on the market in
better condition than if it was
sorted and packed by individuals.
The association will also look
after the handling of other fruits
grown in this locality. The
start this year will be on small
scale but the association will
grow from year TO year.

ed as ordered by them. 1t is
understood that the lighting will
be furnished on what is known
as the moonlight schedule or to
be burned on an average of
about six hours per night, but
it is optional with the city as to
the length of time that they shall
be burned.
Manager Frank Downs of the
lighting company says the
work of installing the system
will be begun at once and the
streets will in all probability be
lighted hg.Jul3s 4th-

Verdict for That Sum Rem
dered in Charron Case.
Case Tried Four Times and
in Litigation for Nearly
Three Years.

A verdict in the sum Of $5, 900
was awarded Matt Charron of
this city by jury in the circuit
count for Douglas county at Su-
perior last Saturday morning.
The defendant was the North
western Fuel company.
The case was on trial all last
week at Superior and many
witnesses from this city were
in attendance. Charron was
sueing the company for damages
amounting to $50, 900 for injuries
which he claims to have received
while at work on the docks in
this city. Charron was struck
by a clam shell digger and
knocked off the tramway unto
the deck of a steel boat. He
was so severely injured that for
a time it was not expected that
he would live. A settlement was
made bv the Fuel company with
Charron but afterwards he
claimed that he was incompetent
to make such settlement and
therefore the action was started
to collect the amount asked.
The case has been in litigation
for the past three years, having
been up for trial four times
Two disagreements resulted and
one no cause for action verdict
previous to the recent decision.
Last year when the verdlcsof
no cause for action was rendered
the case was appealed to the
Supreme court and the decision
reversed.
The following witnesses from
this city were in attendance
at the trial: For the Fuel
company-George Posey, T. R.
Spears, Alex Gackowski, A. P.
Fraser, Duncan Arseneau, Nor
man Mathewson, Neil Mathew
