Frequently loggers just get NICE
ly started with their lum bering
operations before the holidays, and
it has often been the case that not
a log has been hauled up to this
season of the year, owing to weather
conditions, lack OF preparedness to
take advantage Of the snow when it
comes or some other reason.
George S. Barnes, who has The
contract 10 get out some twelve or
fifteen million feet of timber for the
Totzler people of Saltwater and the
Hines Lumber Company, has fine
start this year, and if he keeps up
his present gate he will have no
difficulty in finishing his contract
long before the usual time for a
break up,
He had his large camps all built
long before the logging season set
In, and mnch OF the work OF build
ing roads was done long before the
snow fell. So when the weather
turned right there was nothing to
delay him. He put in crew of a.
bout $50 men and went at it before
the first of the year he will have
shipped about 100000 feet Of tim
Der.
He has two camps. one where he
is logging for the Hines Company
and the other for The Tczier COM
pany OF Saltwater, MINI. The logs
are all being hauled out on the Hines
logging road to Hayward, and the
Saltwater timber shipped from
there over the Omaha to their des-
a ation Pioneer.

til more propitjous moment when
another advance may be made and
held. and so on indefinitely.
If am correct in this statement.
and | do not see how anyone can
view it differently. there are only two
methods of ultimate escape from
the tyranny of an institution. One
is for the people of the state. once
and for all, to tix the netes and
bounds for the proper activity Of the
institution, and tha other is for the
university to place limitations upon
its own activities in accordance with
sound political philosophy ks-
the latter will be done, have not
seen the slightest indication. Every
modern university wants power, and
It seeks self-aggrandizement.

Ships Many Barrels of Apples

Banker D M. Maxcy of Washbnrn
was in the city today Oh his way
back from Marquette where he has
been on land business. Mr.. Maxcy
is one of the enthusiastic agricul-
tural boosters of Bayfield, county
and he is one of those who enthusi.
astically insists that fruit raising

many different points in Bayfield,
county outside of the Bayfield, pei
insuia.
Mr.. Maxcy says that while the re-
gions around Bayfield, has been pro
ducing small fru very successfully
for several years, it has only been
the past four or Eve years that
they have been setting out apple
trees to any extent, though apples
have been very successfully raised a.
round Bayfield, foe quite a number
Of years.
Contrary to the general impres
sion. Mr.. Maxcy says that tie only
commercial apple orchard that ex-
lists at the present in Bayfield, coun.
ty is not adjacent to Bayfield, but
adjacent to Port Wing. Tt is owned
by man py the name of Chas.
Larson who set out two acres OF
trees eight years ago and has been
adding to his acreage each year so
that he nov has quite an orchard.
Mr.. Maxcy states chat from these
trees he set out eight years ago
that this fall Mr. Larson shipped
one hundred barrels Of apples, haul
ing them to Iron River and ship
ping them ont by rail and that this
is the first time that apples in tits
Cuantitv SO as to make them COM
mercial feature nave ever been pro-
duced in any orchard in Bayfield,
county.
e Mr.. Maxcy states however that
next year. there are several apple
orchards near Bayfield, and Wash
bnrn where apples will be raised in
large enough quantities to handle
them for outside shipment and that
in four or FIVE years there will be
scores of profitable producing COM
mercial orchards in Bayfield, coun-

the extension work done by the agri-
cultural college of the university,
went to Washburn yesterday to Sc
cure some seed corn that had been
raised by firm near that city, from
seed that had been supplied by the
University authorities.
Mr.. Delwiche states that the work
in clearing up the new experimental
farm for northern Wisconsin which
has been erected at Ashland Junction
on the site donsted by Ashland and
Bayfield, counties, is progressing
in good shape. Despite the snow in
the winter he has force of men
who have been at work clearing up
the land in taking off the trees and
large stumps and at the present time
about seventy acres of the tract has
been cleared. This large clearing at
Ashland Junction which has hereto
fore been practically surrounded by
timber makes decidedly favorable
showing for the hundreds of people
who pass through that point every
day on trains. Mr.. Delwiche intends
to have fully seventy-tive or one hui :
dred acres in this tract under the
plow next spring, planted to various
grains and vegetables in order to

WILL CLOSE EARLY
Business Men to Enjoy
Winter Evenings
Have Signed an Agreement
to Close Their Places
Evenings.

During the winter months many OF
the stores of the city will be closed
every evening, excepting Mondays and
Saturdays. and an agreement to that
effect which was circulated among the
business men during the past week
has been signed by almost every one.
The business men believe that during
the dull season of the year their
customers should not object if they
close their doors on part of the
evenings of the week, but on the
other hand should assist in every way
possible and do their shopping during
the day as much as is possible. For
the convenience of those who cannot
do their shopping during the day the
stores will remain open Gil two even
ings of the week which should be
plenty to accommodate every one.
The following is the agreement as
was circulated:
Washburn, Wis, Dec. 3Oth, 1911
Beginning January 1st, 1919, we
the undersigned merchants agree to
close our business places on Sundays,
and on 6:30 on every day in the
week, excepting Saturdays and Mon
days. This agreement to stay in
effect>until April 1st, 1919.

The hardware stores and the furni-
ture stores also have an agreement
under which they close at about
the same hours as above so that the
only business places that will remain
open from this time on is the grocery
stores, confectionery stores and meat
markets.
