attempt to keep the flames from
spreading to the buildings on

Six of the buildings burned
were owned by T. F. Mackmiller.
The loss to Mr.. Mackmiller will
be heavy. About half of the
stock in the buildings on the
east side of the street was saw
ed, but large part in the build
ings where the fire originated
was destroyed by the devouring
elements. 1t is estimated that
the loss will run up to nearly
800, 900, partially covered by in

While the property owners
have not as Iyet made up their

that a mum Der of the buildings

The fire will be a hard blow to

town will likely be built up bet

collection this year, and up to

something over $44, 10000.
Mr.. Lee expects to turn

this year than was collected a
year ago, and he is to be con-

The Steamer Mary Scott

Captain John E. Doherty of the
Steamer Mary Scott was in the city
the first of the week putting up his
time cards for next season. While
here he also made arrangements for
rebuilding the waiting room on the
city dock which was blown down
some few days ago. Captain Deher-
ty has had the Mary Scott at Su-
periori during the past winter
where the boat has been thourough-
ly overhawled. A new hull has
been built. and many other improve
ments have been made so that the
ferry boat will be in fine shape
when she begins the season run.
The captain says that his boat will
begin making trips just SIS soon as
the ice goes out, which he expects
will not be very long.

judge Parish Accepts
Peoples Nomination
To the People of the Fifteenth Judi
cial Circuit of Wisconsin.

You have again nominated me,
and this time by upwards of thirty
five hundred for the office of Circuit
Judge. A large majority of the
lawyers in each county in the circuit
and in several counties unanimously
have asked me by written calls to
become a candidate for reelection,
Many of the people and lawyers
have told me that they regretted
that should have opposition.
Those who have joined in nominat-
ing me include the best citizens of
Wisconsin and represent every pro-
fression, trade, calling. political
faction, party, nationality, race and
religion, from every county, town,
city. village and hamlet in this large
judicial circuit. This nomination
has come voluntarily from the
people without personal solicitation,
reward, promise or favor from me.
This splendid endorsement, so
generous and unanimous is perhaps
based upon the fact that it is the
well established custom of the people
of our state to keep experienced men
upon the bench OF their higher,
courts, and the fact that my oppo-
nents were unable to induce, at this
time, more than one person to be
al candidate against me, rather
than to my own merit. The select
ion of a Circuit Judge between but
two candidates makes it simple and
easy for the voter to decide which

Business Section Of Iron
River Almost Wiped Out
A Dozen or More Business
Buildings Burned En-
failing aheavy Loss

The business section of the
town of Iron River in
the western part of the coun-
ty came nearly being wiped out
of existence in a fire which
originated in the American
house on main street at half
past two o'clock Tuesday morn
ing, as it is one fourth of the
business section of the town
lies in ashes today as a result OF
the fire.
The fire originated in room
on the second floor of the Ameri-
can house which is located next
to the new stone bank building
on the west side of the street.
The alarm was turned in soon
after the fire was discovered,
but the building was all ablaze
before the fremen could arrive
with their fighting apparatus.
The fire spread rapidly and
soon adjoining buildings were a.
blaze and the work of lighting
the fire was made very difficult
on account uf the intense heat.
The flames continued to travel
down the main street, taking in
the Iron River Hardware
company store. the Charles
Martin saloon, the Corcker drug
store and the Louis Sand cloth
ing store, and there was con-
tlnuous wall of fame for nearly
q half block of the street. A
high southwest wind was blow
ing at the time, earring the
burning embers over the north
end of the business section of
the street. Fires kept break
ing out continually and it was
not long until the frame build
ings on the east side of the
street. diagonally across from
the fire, were also on fire, and
this made two fires for the COM
pany to fight and they were un-
able to handle the situation. A
call was sent to Superior for
help and company of men were
sent on a special train to help
com bat the flames which threat.
ened to wipe out the business
section of the town
The fire on the opposite side
of the street started in the Max
Happle saloon, and this building
was badly damaged. The build
ing next to the Happle saloon oc-
cupisd by Joseph Bouielette as a
bakery shop was burned to the
ground. The fire made it's way
north down the street taking in
all the buildings. The saloon of
Ike Hubbard came next, then
the Chris. Olson Confectionery
store, and the saloon of Mr.. o.

Gustave Palm Loses Life in
Fall From Burner.
From Scaffold on
Which he had Been Work
ing at Drummond Mill.

One of the saddest deaths that
we have been called upon to
chronicle is that of Gustave v.
Palm. son of Mr.. and Mrs. Nels
Palm of this city, who lost
his life last Thursday afternoon
at Drummond when he slipped
and fell from the scaffold in the
big burner at the Drum mond
mill on which he had been work
ing.
The death is made sadder by
the fact that Gustave Palm was
young man: being just twenty
two years old, and had he lived
might have accomplished much
in this life. He was dashed to
his death without the slightest
warning of any kind.
The father had the contract
for rebricking the inside of the
big burner, and his three sons
Oscar, Gustave and Carl we're
engaged in the work. The work
was almost completed and the
job would nave been finished by
last Saturday night if the acci-
dent had not occurred. Gustave
and Oscar were working on the
scaffold, and were engaged in
laying brick near the top of the
burner. It is not known how
the accident occurred but it is
thought that Gustave stepped in
a hole in the scaffold and fell
over. He dropped about seven
feet when he struck a cross
plank but this would not sustain
his weight, and the young man
fell the balance of the eighty
feet into S mass of old iron and
brick at the bottom of the burn
er. He was taken from the
burner by his father and Carl
and lived only about a half hour.
He never regained conscious
ness.
The remains were brought to
this city on Thursday night
where they were prepared for
burial at the undertaking rooms
of the Esta brook & Olson Furni-
ture Company. The funeral was
held Tuesday afternoon at the
Norwegian Lutheran church,
Rev. Velland, pastor of the
Swedish Lutheran church, and
Rev. Christensen of the Nor
wegian Lutheran church offici-
ating. Burial took place at the
Public cemetary.
Gustave Palm was born in
this city, and was % years old
last Septem Der. He was a
grad uate of the Washburn High
School, being a mem Der of the
class of 1909. The family of the
deceased have the sympathy of
community in their sorrow,
occasioned by the sudden and
untimely death of their son and
brother.

LARGELY ATTENDED
Washburn Horticultural So

society which was held at the
Com mercial Clubrooms on Mon
day evening was one of the
largest attended meetings that
the society has yet held. E. J.

versity Experimental stations of
Northern Wisconsin was pre-
sent and delivered the principal
address of the evening taking as
his subject Potatoes, Alfalfa
Hay, Peas. and Their Value"
The address was very interest.
ing. being illustrated with stere-
optican slides, and many good
points were brought out that
will be of interest to all farmers.
Mr.. Delwiche tended to show the
Importance of selecting good
seeds for the potato crop and
said this was one of the essen
tial things in securing a good
crop. Another important thing
he said, was crop rotation and
be advised that all farmers
should give this their attention.
He stated that if piece of land
was planted to potatoes for any
length of time, that the crops
would get poorer and poorer un-
til the land would refuse to grow
potatoes of any kind. With the
rotation of crops on the three
years basis the potato can be
built up and would command a
good market price. He said it
was important that the farmer
should decide upon certain types
of potatoes to grow in this Sec
ton so that they can be market
ed in carloads lots. He recon-
mended a number of the rural
potatoes as being good ones.
His talk on alfalfa, hay and
other crops was also interesting
and he demonstrated to the
farmers how they could secure
good stands in each case.
Mr.. Delwiche said that this
section was particularly adapted
to the growing of peas and he
believed that the farmers could
get good returns if they would
venture in the business. At the
present time he said Michigan
concern was engaged in the
work of interesting farmers in
this section and undoubtedly a
station would be Established in
some central location, providing
that enough farmers near here
can be induced to grow peas.
He lectured for some time on
the industry, showing pictures
to bear out his remarks.
Those in attendance at the
meeting questioned Mr.. Del
wiche on several subjects and in
the discussion much information
was gained. The interest in
the society meetings is growing
larger at every meeting. The
next meeting will be held Mon
day evening, March 9th. and all
those interested in the dolngs of
the society are invited to attend.

Gusts County sleuths.

Attorney General Hogan held to be
invalid the Bruce law, authorizing
county prosecutors to appoint their
own secret service agents or county
detectives. This law was framed
especially for Prosecutor Hunt of
Hamilton county, who had represented
that county detectives appointed by
the common pleas judges in Cincin-
natl had been spending their time
spying upon him.
If the opinion of Mr.. Hogan is up
held by the courts the effect probably
will be the throwing out of office OF
all county detectives.
The basis of the Hogan opinion is
that the law blundered in saying who
should fix the salary of the secret
service agent. The law says his sal
ary shall be fixed by the presiding
judge of the court of common pleas
of the judicial subdivision" No such
Office exists in Ohio, Mr. Hogan holds
He therefore rules that, since there is
no officer to fix the compensation
there can be no compensation and thu
statute is invalid.
