pared to Put up a
Hard Battle.

What will undoubtedly be one of
the best games of base ball played on
the local diamond this season will
take place here next Sunday afternoon
when the fast Bessemer, Mich. team
will meet the Washbun team. Man
ager Manning's boys have been put
ting in some hard practice work DUR
ing the past week and are prepared
for the contest which promises to be
an interesting zone. The Bessemer
team has good record this season
having defeated a number of fast
Wisconsin teams, but the locals ex-
,pect to hold their own.
Manager Manning is developing one
of the fastest little teams that has
ever played on the home diamond.
The players are all young but their
heart and soul is in the game from
the beginning to the end which en-
ables them to put up good contest.
Last Sunday this team defeated the
fast Odanah team, outclassing them
at every stage of the game. The
team is entitled to The support of the
community and everyone should turn
out and encourage them by roofing.
Every player on the team is home

Bio rklund.

Gus Carlson, millwright for the
Iron River Lumber company at IRON
River, met death west of that place
last Friday evening when he YVES
struck by a machine driven by VIM.
Bjorklund.
The body of Carlson was found a
long the road west of Iron River last
Saturday and the news was reported
to the authorities who Immediately
began am investigation. At first it
was thought that Carlson had met
with foul play and that his head had

Friday night and had struck some
object along the road which he
thought was the end of log sticking
out into the road, but which later
proved to be Carlson. The man s
head was crushed in and death is

$4,000 the Already Expended the Long
Bridge. Will the County Board Permit $4,000 More
to be Expended Ashland Wants H2

The State Highway commission on
Tuesday voted to refuse the applica-
ton of the County Board of Bayfield,
county for the abandonment OF The
Long Bridge at the head of the lake
known as the Bridge of Signs. The
commission also voted to withhold
the state aid to Bayfield, county for
this years work amounting TO $2, $50
until proper plans and specifications OF
the work were forwarded to the Com
mission for approval.
BY refusing the application for the
abandonment for the long bridge the
Highway Commission is trying to
saddle an expense of $4,000 unto
the county of bayfield,, the amount
necessary to construct new bridge.
$4,000 of the peoples money has
already been expended on this bridge
up to the present time and the bridge
is still in an /unpassable condition.
Are the people of the county going to
permit from $4,000 to $50, 900
more to be dumped into this bridge
when only about one per cent of the
people of the county favor maintain
ing the bridge route.
At the spring meeting of the
county board there was only sone dis
senting vote against the abandonment
of the bridge, being that of Patrick
Galligan, chairman of the town of
Barksdale. All of the other members
favor putting through what is known
as the Swamp road" believing that
it would be much cheaper and would
make better road. There is thirty
four voters in the town of Barksdale,
and part of this small number have
done their utmost to force the county
to build the bridge simply because
the swamp road would be little over
a mile longer in getting into Ashland.
The Ashland people have taken
sides with these few people from the
town of Barkesdale and have put up
an awful howl about the county try
ing to rob the Barkesdale people of
the road, saying that it was move
on the part of the business people Of
Washburn to divert business this
way. They even went so far as to
say that they had offered financial
aid in building the bridge but the
money has never been put up They
have even neglected 10 keep up their
part of the road leading to the
bridge on the Ashland side in former
years.
The Ashland people have put up a
hard fight and finally succeeded in
getting the State Highway Com
mission to see things their way 1T
is time for thu county board and the
people of Bayfield, county to get into
the fight if they are to prevent the
expenditure of the additional
10, 900, and no one knows how much

SHINYO MARU IS
LIGHTLY FINED

At the meeting or the narDor COM
missioners that was held yesterday
afternoon, the Togo Kisen Kaisha
steamer Shinyo Maru was fined $40
for dumping the ships refuse on the
wharf at which she was berthed. The
agents wrote saying that they re-
gretted the incident and that it would
not occur again.
The Pahoa lumber company ex.
planned, through their manager Sam
Johnson, that in future all ohia blocks
for paving purposes would be sized
and rendered more easy of use for
the wharves.
The following rules with reference
to the discharge of nitrates at wharves
were presented and will be acted upon
later on;
mo nitrate shall be stored, await
ing transportation, upon any wharf
within the Territory of Hawaii.
Vessels discharging nitrate must
discharge only in such quantities as
may be removed by five 60 o'clock
of the day upon which the nitrate is
discharged
Masters, owners and consignees of
nitrate cargoes must keep the wharf
at all times swept clean and free Of
any loose nitrate during the entire
process of unloading and removing the
cargo. No loose nitrate will be per.
mitted to be landed. In all cases
nitrates must be in sound containers.
ANY violation of this regulation
will be subject to the provisions of
Act 1863 of the Session Laws of 1911.
With reference to the rule estab-
lished last week that no automobiles
be allowed on the government
wharves, the commissioners did not
mean to bar out auto trucks that are
used in the transportation of merchan-
disc Secretary Berndt explained that
auto trucks are being more and more
used, and that they should not be
barred out The rules now read as
follow:

it is hoped that in the near future the

results.
The greater part of the gypsum

manufactured by grinding, and partial

plasters of Paris, stucco cement plas-

the manufacture of Portland cement

SOMETHING ABOUT GYPSUM,
ITS VALUE AND ANTIQUITY
An Interesting Treatise Building Material that Found
in Its Pure State in the Yerington District

Through the courtesy of an English
correspondent we are able to repro
duce the following from the columns
of the London England Financial
graph issued by the Canadian Depart
ment Of Mines:
ITO many people plaster OF Paris
and alabaster are household terms,
while the name of their base, gypsum
principally calcium sulphate), would
convey little or nothing to them. Yet,
the use of gypsum dates back thou
sands of years-it was utilized FOR the
exterior covering of the Pyramid of
Cheops, and Virgil mentions il as a
fertilizer-while several million tons
are now raised every year The MN
eral is found all over the world, so
that much more than local interest
attaches to the exhaustive monograph
on the subject prepared for the De
partment of Mines of Canada cot
tawa) by Mr. William Z. Jennison, NJ
E. The author points out that of late
years the United States has wrestled
from France the position as the prin-
cipal producer of gypsum, and he is
evidently anxious that more attention
should be paid to the developments
of the large deposits found in the
maritime provinces OF Canada
Mr. Jennison states that for over
100 years gypsum has been mined in
Nova Scotia, yet the industry is only
in its infancy 1t is a matter of sur
prise to find how little interest the
citizens have taken in the develop
ment of this branch of the mining IN
dustry. The fact is that this mineral
is so common to many of them that
they have considered it as of no spe-
cial value, and a nuisance; yet there is
nothing in the mineral industry here
that offers greater opportunities for
the development of good stable
business: and it is important that not
only should our own people be in
formed about our resources, their
uses and their value, but that the
world should know that in this min
eral we have great values, and can
supply the demand to an almost limit
less extent
This importance of these sypsun
deposits, which have in the greater
part been lying dormant for so many
years. and which present every variety
OF color and composition; can hardly
be over-estimated. With the increas-
ing demand everywhere for gypsum
and the various products manufac
tured from it, and with the largest
known accessible deposits of great
purity it requires no very vivid imagi
nation to see in them, in the future
one of the greatest natural resource,
that the country can possess.
In the United States the produc
ton of gypsum has increased iron
$50, 235 tons in 1900 to 1918 ton,
in 1908. over $50 per cent In Canada
