SURVEY OF BAYFIELD, AREA
Dees Not do Justice to the
Land Around Chequame-
gon Bay.

The us. Department of Agricul-
ture has just issued bulletin con-
tanning soil map of the district
bordering on Chequamegon Bay, to-
gether with write-up on the same.
1t is apparent to one who is acquaint-
ed with the region covered by the
survey that all parts of the territory
was not traversed by the men maxi
ing the survey. Almost the entire
strip ofcountry lying along the S hore
line between this city and the head
of the bay is called what is known as
Superior clay when such is not the
case. The entire country west of the
city, or nearly so, is what is common
ly known as clay loam with much
sand loan in evidence, Farmers who
have viewed the map say that it is
wrong in many places. The bulletin
is an advance sheet and parties in
,terested in having this region known
as what it is should take the mat
ter up with the department so that
the same can be corrected to conform
to the soils we have in this 10 cality.

MUST SPEND
MONEY RIGHT
.-......-...-.-
To Secure State Aid for
Highway Building.
Commission Says so in a
Letter to the Bayfield,
County Board.

Another communication has
been received by the County
Board of Bayfield, county from
the state Highway Com mission
relative to the work being done
on the county roads in this
county. The Com mission in.
formed the county board that
all money on new road work
must be spent in compliance
with the law if the state aid
money is to be secured.
During the past two weeks
Acting Highway Engineer A.
r. Hirst and Engineer J. E.
Gillispie have been in Bayfield,
county where they have been
looking over the roads and
making plans for new work to
be done. Mr., Hirst says that
what road work he saw was not
of a high class and that the
lack of success was Idue largely
to the fact that money has
been spent each year by scat
tering it over too much of the
county system and that salts.
factory work could not be &C.
complished in that manner.
Before any further advance
is made" said the commission,
"the maintenance of the whole
l,system must be abandoned by
the county and the money must
be confined to making certain
definite improvements. The
1912 state money will be allotted
to the county if it selects and
improves certain specific pieces
of road work or bridges with
it's money
The engineers established a
grade on the county road lead
ing from this city to Ashland
and to Bayfield, and work on
this part of the county system
of highways will be started. A
meeting of the county board
will be held next week or the
week following to lay out plans
for the work.

SATURDAY LAST
DAY FOR FILING.
Very Few Candidates for
County Offices
Only One Contest on County
Republican Ticket. No
Opposition for Others.

Saturday, last, was the last day
for filing nomination papers for state
and county Offices to be voted upon
at the primaries to be held on the
first Tuesday in September. Appar-
emily there is less interest taken in
the election this year than there has
been for years, and for many of the
Offices there will not be any opposi-
ton SO far as the nominations for the
various party tickets are concerned.
On the Republican ticket in Bayfield,
county there is only one contest, be-
ing that for the Office of district attor-
ney. E. c. Alvord of this city and
Charles F. Morris of Iron River are
candidates for the republican nomina-
tion. Both of these candidates have
been before the people before and the
race between the two has always been
uncomfortably close. This campaign
will likely be no exception.
The Socialists will have almost
complete county ticket in the field
but the Democrats will keep out of
the county fight in the primaries.
The following are the nominations
as made:
Republican
County Clerk, Nels Oscar; Treasurer
Alfred Froseth; Sheriff Max Happle;
Clerk of Court F. A. Bell; District
Attorney E. c. Alverd and c. F.
Morris; Register of Deeds Nels
Myhre; County Surveyor E. j. Brig
ham; Coroner Amos M. Hansen.
Social Democrat -,
County Clerk G. A. Lofstrom, Ma
son; Treasurer H. Johnson, Wash
burn; Sheriff Kenny Lahti, Herbs
ter; Coroner Andrew Lauri, Oulu;
Register ofDeeds John Tipola, Oulu;
Clerk of Court Chas. Peterson,
Hughes; District Attorney and Sur
veyor none.
For State Senator from this dis
trict on the Republican ticket there
is two candidates in the field, being
A. P. Tomkins of Ashland and 0. E.
Peterson of Ladysmith.
For Assemblyman H. HI. Peavey
of this city and Martin Rogan of
Cable will be the opposing candi-
dates on the Republican ticket.
Henry Wachmuth is the Democra-
tic candidate and G. A. Herring is
the Socialist candidate.
On the state ticket there is like
wise little interest taken and many of
the candidates will have no opposi-
ton.
