Washhurn Xon2

The Washburn city basket bal
team went to Mellen last Friday
evening where they played their
first game of the season with
the Mellen City team. The
score was SO to 20 in favor of
the locals. The Washburn
team considerably outweighed
thelr opoDents and won the game
easily.
There seems to be some doubt
as to the above score. This item
was written last Saturday after
the players returned to this
city. One of the team, after
thinking the matter over for a
few days, came in Wednesday
and stated that the score SHOULD
have been reversed and that it
was Mellen that won the game.
The team should not try and
claim credit for game that
they did not win. for their is
just as much honor in defeat as
their is in victory if the game is
played right.

|MANY COME FOR COUPONS
Four Hundred and Twenty
two Children. Call at
Office Yesterday.
There was a happy throng of Chill

There was happy throng of Chill
dren at the Times Office Christmas
morning, having come to get the
Christmas Greeting coupons which
this Office distributed for a friend OF
the little folks. In all four hundred
and twenty-five children were pres
ent and each one received coupon
which was good for tencents in trade
at any store in the city. For three
hours there was continual string of
children at the Office waiting to be
waited upon and the last coupon was
not given out until after the noon
hour.
These little folks seem to appreci-
ate the small token which they were
given and to see the many happy
faces more than repaid us for the
trouble and the donater for the ex-
pense which this entailed.
Appreciation just fairly beams from
faces of the little tots and it is an
endowment to wait upon them.

But a Merger of the Inter-
ests of the Two Companies
If Deal Goes Through indie
pendent Companies will
Control Local Field

According to A. Bigelow of Ash
land who has charge of the interests
of the Independent Telephone COM
panies of Ashland, Bayfield,, Wash
burn, Park Falls and Mellen, there
is to be no absorbing of the Indepen-
dent companies by the Wisconsin
Telephone company but the deal
which is now being worked out is a
merger of the interests of the two
concerns whereby the local field in
each of the places will be turned over
to the independent companies and
the field for the toll business will
be left with the Wisconsin Telephone
company. The Times in mentioning
the deal in our last issue stated that
the Wisconsin people were about to
absorb the independent companies,
but Mr.. Bigelow says that the indie
pendent lines are not for sale and
there is to be no gobbling up of their
interests.
Mr.. Bigelow stated that while
negotiations have been carried on for
some time, yet the deal for merger
was far from being closed. The in
ventory of the equipment of the
Bayfield, county Telephone company
in this city is now being taken by
Chief Engineer Roy Wheeler and
II. w. DeBrake and F. Schoenhoffen
of Milwaukee representing the Wis
consin Telephone company, who are
being assisted somewhat by Mr.. Bige-
low, representing the independent
companies. These gentlemen re-
Gently completed an inventory of the
Wisconsin Telephone equipment at
Ashland and it is the intention to
take an inventory of the equipment
of the both companies where the two
are doing business. 1t will take
some months to complete the inven-
tory and it is not likely that any deal
will be consumated until some time
next year.
