SIX WEEKS MORE OF CHILLY
WEATHER SAYS GROUND HOG

Whew! It's too cold for me, said
the Ground Hog as he beat his way
back to his alternating habitat last
Friday after poking his nose out of
his hole for peek at the weather and
according to old traditions we will
have another cold spell of weather
lasting for six weeks. About the
first thing that Mr.. Ground Hog dis
covered after coming out of his winter
quarters was a life sized silhouette
of himself on the snow. This looks
bad to the little animal and back he
goes to spend another six weeks.
Had the ground hog come forth with
out seeing his shadow he would have
considered this a good sign and would
have remained out.
Up in this northern region we usual
ly have about so much cold weather,
regardless of the opinion of Mr..
Ground Hog. If the little animal
had not seen his shadow he would
have undoubtedly perished with the
cold had he decided to remain out of
his winter home.

Madison where be attended a meet
ing of the assessors from various
districts, Out of the 80 districts,
81 assessors were present.

Discuss Salary Questions

At the meeting of the city coun-
Gil which was held at the Council
Chambers on Tuesday evening the
question of salaries of city officers
was discussed at some length. It
is at this meeting that the salaries
are fixed for the ensuing year.
Some of the members thought that
it would be good plan to raise the
salary of the assessor which would
induce good men to run for the
Office and after an hours discussion
The question was dropped and the
salaries left as they have been for
the past year. Alderman AmbIy
had availed himself of figures show
ing the salaries paid in other places
throughout the state which he read
at the meeting but they seemed to
compare favorably with the salaries
paid in this city, if anything the
salaries here were lower.
The committee On Streets was
ordered to investigate the condi-
tions OF dilapidated buildings
throughout the city and to order
them condemned if any were found
to be in unsafe condition. There are
many buildings in the city, especial
ly along Bayfield, street, that should
be torn down and this move on the
council should be carried out.
The Committee on Public Grounds
was ordered to purchase shade trees
to be planted in front of the Gar
field, Pioneer and Lincoln schools.
The usual number of bills were
audited and allowed and a few other
minor matters were also disposed
of.

Woman's Work will remain the same
in our 1912 list; the amount of the

duced but the list of the articles in
Fancy Work will not be changed.
We make this announcement as we
understand good many ladies de-
sire to work on some article for the

the past they have been disappoint-
ed to find that the particular .article
thev had made had teen left out of
the list.
We also wish to advice that at the
Annual meeting of this Association
it was decided not to have any horse
races but to have instead a base ball
tournament of Bayfield, County base

Bayfield, County driving races, such
as Farmers Novelty race.

A Communication
TH1s

Lear Mr. EQlCOr:
From time to time
/ notice that a lecture is given in
the city under school auspices. It
is regretted that we have no regu-
lar entertainment course for the
winter the same as Rice Lake,
Ladysmith and other towns not
any larger than Washburn. ] feel
certain there ARE financial hackers
enough in the city if such a move
towards having course is made.
In this. way the entertainment
could be given at the Opera House,
the proper place. and there would
certainly be cooperation on the part
of the patrons. Tn the meantime an
occasional lecture is given and
that generally in some church; the
consequence is many well inten-
toned persons are under the i'm
preston that the lectnreis connect
ed with that particular church s
work and many stay away and miss
not unfrequently real literary and
intellectual treat.

Work of Putting up Ice
This Week.

The work Of putting up the ice
supply for tha city for the
coming season will be started
some time the latter part of this
week by Manager Levi Stefinski
OF. the Washburn Ice company.
On Monday the ice field east of
the Omaha docks was scraped
and prepared for the cutters.
The ice houses were also gotten
in shape during the forepart of
the week and everything is now
ready for beginning the annual
harvest.
The hauling may be started
tomorrow. The ice is said to be
excellant this year, being about
twenty-five inches in thickness.
There has been very little soft
weather this winter and this has
made the ice nice and clear so
that the patrons will be assured
of fine quality of ice for the
coming season. During the ice
harvest a large number of men
and teams will be given employ
ment.

FAST team COMING
Shamrocks of Superior to
Meet Washburn Athletic
Team Here

What will undoubtedly be one of
the best games of basket ball that
has ever been played in the city will
be played here this evening when
the Washburn Athletic team will
meet the Shamrocks of Superior, one
of the fastest teams in the Northern
part of the state. The Sharnrocks
have been trimming up everything
that they have gone up against and
they are now playing few games be-
fore going into the contest for the
state championship. The local five
have been playing good ball this sea-
son and have won against everything
that they have played against. While
they do not expect to win against the
Superior team, yet they say that
they will give them good battle.
AS the expense of getting the Superb
or team here is heavy the Iboys will
need large crowd in order to defray
expenses. Everybody turn out .and
see one of the best games of basket
ball that has ever been played in the
citv.

Purpose is to Form a Ship
pers Association
All Farmers and Others In
terested are Invited to
Attend the Meeting

A big meeting of the Farmers of
the Chequamegon Bay district will be
held at the Commercial Club rooms
in this city on Saturday afternoon of
this week, the meeting having been
called for 80 |p. m. The meeting
has been called by president T. A.
Oscar of the Chequamegon Farmers
Association, recently incorporated
organization and, a general invitation
is extended to all farmers and fruit
growers to attend. The purpose of
the meeting is to devise plans for
handling the crops grown in this Sec
ton and it is altogether likely that
stock will be subscribed and move
ment started for erecting ware
house in this city where the produce
of the farm can be handled.
The plan as we understand it is to
unite the Farmers Association and
the Horticultural society into one
large body. For some time there
has been feeling that the farmers
and the fruit growers should COM
bine, for with one organization the
produce could be handled more econ-
omically, and it is likely that this will
be brought about at the meeting to
be held Saturday.

FAT, TO CAPTURE MURDERER
OF MRS. FRANK SPAULDING

Sheriff John Mcdonald re-
turned last evening from north
ern Minnesota where he went to
investigate a report that Ar thur
Dodge, wanted for the murder
of Mrs. Frank Spalding, had
been seen. It was reported to
the sheriff that Dodge was in
hiding, spending the winter with
a party of trappers who are
operating along the Bear River
and it's tributaries. one of the
most remote places in northern
Minnesota.
Sheriff Mcdonald and his
deputies covered the country
north of Bear river for a dis
tance ofapproximately one hun
dred and fifty miles, visiting all
of the trapper shacks. but
Dodge could not be located aud
Mr.. Mcdonald is inclined to be-
lieve that the report is without
foundation.
Following the murder Sheriff
Mcdonald and his deputies
traced the murderer from Iron
River to Superior and from their
to Cass Lake and Black Duck,
but from this point all trace of
Dodge was lost.
Dodge is wanted for the mur-
der of Mrs. Frank Spaulding of
Iron River, the murder having
been committed at Seventeen
Mile Post on the Northern Paci-
fic line between this city and
Iron River, Il was one of the
most cowar0ly murders that has
ever been committed in Bayfield,
county. A good description OF
Dodge has been sent everywhere
and it is expected that he will
be located in the spring of the
year when the camps begin to
break up. Dodge has a scar
under his left eye much re-
sembling a powder burn and
this makes Identification easy.

A movement has been started in

sion of the Wisconsin Naval Militia

A Wrong Impression

Some people seem to be of the
opinion that now that the income
tax is in force that there will be
no personal property tax to pay
and that the assessor will not
need to assess personal proper
ty. This is not true. The per-
sonal property taxes will be
collected the same as they
have been in the past, but after
paying the personal property tax
the receipt therefor will be ac-
cepted in payment of the income
tax up to the amount of the
receipt. For instance should
your personal property tax
amount to $25. 90 and your in
come tax amount to $4,000 you
can present your personal pro.
perty tax receipt and $500 in
cash in payment of the income
tax. Should you have no income
tax you will be required to pay
your personal property tax the
same as heretofore.
The Supreme court of the
state has decided that the law
is constitutional but the manu-
facturers have decided to carry
the case to the United States
Supreme court.

Mrs. L. N. CIausen Passed
Away Monday Morning.
Pleuro-pneumonia Cause of
Death. An Invalid for
Many Years.

The community was greatly shock
ed Monday morning to learn of the
death of Mrs. Margoria M. Clausen,
wife of L. N. Clausen, whose death
occurred Monday morning at six-thirty
o'clock after months illness with
pleuro-pneumonia. While it has been
known for a number of days that
Mrs. Clausen was very sick, yet her
death was not expected, and the news
came as a great shock to everyone.
Mrs. Clausen has been in poor
health for many years, having never
fully recovered from an attack of
spinal meningitis which she suffered
many years ago. On Christmas Day
Mrs. Clausen contracted cold which
turned to pleuro-pneumonia and al
though at times during the past
month she seemed better, yet her
strength gradually failed and the fin
q lend came Monday morning as re-
lief to her long suffering.
The funeral was held yesterday
afternoon from the late residence on
Washington avenue and was attended
by many friends who were present to
pay their last respects to their
friend. A very impressive funeral
sermon was preached by Rev. Rhem,
pastor of the Congregational church
of which Mrs. Clausen was a member.
The remains were hid to rest in
the city cemetary. As a mark ofres-
pect to the family all Of the business
places of the city were closed during
the hour of the funeral.
Mrs. Clausen was born in Can ada.
December Gath, 1886, and was as
years, month and Ii days of age at
the time of death. She was woman
with an extensive circle of friends and
was esteemed and beloved by all who
knew her. She is survived by a
husband and daughter residing in this
city, and sister and two brothers
Mrs. Cathness and John and Alex
Faulkner who formerly resided in
this city but who now reside in the
West. They have the heartfelt SYM
pathy of the entire community in
their hour of sorrow.

Was Well Played

"Gadsby's Girs" the rclass
play played by the Senior Class
of the Washburn High School at

evening was one of the best

The different parts were acted
to perfection and the play was
a grand success. A neat sum
was netted and the proceeds will
be used by the class in purchas-
ing some memorial which will be
presented to the school.
