OUR BIG COUNTY FAIR
Association Officers Secure
Low Rates for Exhibitors
at Fair.

The Bayfield, County Fair manage
ment have been putting in some hard
work of late in getting low rates on
all railroads leading to Iron River and
this week announce that they have
been successful in their efforts and
have secured very low rate on ex-
hibits for the fair. We publish the
following letter in full:
Professor J. G. Milward of the
State College of Agriculture at Madi-
son, will be at the Iron River Fair
Grounds Wednesday, September
25th; besides making an address on
Commercial Potato Growing" he is
to Judge the fruits. Mr.. MilWard is
recognized expert in his line and
this will be good opportunity for
anyone having any apples, ETC., the
name of which is unknown to bring
same to Professor Milward for identi-
tifcation. 1t frequently happens
that an apple grower will have in his
orchard some trees that he cannot
name. Professor Milward will be
glad to identify any apples brought
to him.
All exhibitors of Live Stock and
Poultry should mail entries to the
Secretary of the Fair Association at
Iron River not later than the Goth,
SO that he can notify Superintendent
Nelson and reserve space accordingly.
Now, that the new stock sheds are
built, each particular breed of the
various kinds of stock and poultry
will be kept separate; all the Jerseys,
for instance, together, all the Hol-
stems, etc., and we can not do this
unless we have an idea beforehand as
to how many entries we will have of
the different kinds of stock. Ex-
hibitors will greatly oblige the man
Hagement by giving special attention
to this.
The Omaha makes the usual one
way rate on exhibits, that is al ticles
are returned free of charge; SO does
the Northern Pacific, but the North
ern Pacific Railway Company makes a
special rate on all Raw Products of
the Soil as follows:
Northern Pacific Ry. tariff 1697 B,
effective May Is, 1919: Freight
charges will be refunded upon ship
ments of fruit grain, vegetables or
other raw products of the soil, and
mineral specimens that will not be
returned, provided certificate is pre-
sented from the Secretary of the
Fair to the effect that the same have
been placed on exhibition and were
thereby endered useless and unsale-
able, or have been retained by the
Association for permanent exhibition,
or on account of having no value have
been otherwise disposed of and that
no revenue has been or will be re-
allied from the sale thereof. On
return shipments, the switching
charges (if any are incurred) of the
railroads handling such shipments
will be assessed against the shipments
and will not be borne by the carriers.
The South Shore road have put in
effect Dead Head" rate both ways
applying on all articles and live stock
intended for exhibition between any
station on their line and Iron River

Health Board Gives Matter
Much Consideration.


Nlnety~aeven cases OF measles
reported in this city last month
proved to be a topic upon which the
health commissioners placed much
stress at their meeting last night.
br. J. L. Lund, health physician for
this city. reported the large number
of cases and said although the
amount seemed large he would not
consider 1t an epidemic but advised
the board to take some action to try
and prevent Its spread. While dis
cussing this topic 1T was learned
that the State Board of Health does
not want reports OF this class of Ill
mesa and on Recommendation of DR..
Lund the clark will ask the reason
for refusing such reports.
Houses in which measles are prev
alent are not ~quarantfned nor fumf-
cations made. Some of the commits
sioners were inclined to be in favor
Of placarding in such cases which
would prevent the spread Of the
disease. DIR. Lilnd stated that the
only way to put a quick stop to this
.malady would be to close the
schools, for fl is while attending
school sessions this disease is spread.
No definite action was taken at last
nights meeting awaiting a reply
from the state board relative to the
matter.
After Street Commissioners.
After discussion 1t was decided to
send a communication to the Board
Of Aldermen to have the street COM
missioner stop dumping material
taken from receiving basins on Sher-
man and Sheridan streets. This
place at the present time, according
to reports, Ia a menace to health
owing to this practice. Pond own
ers were given another month to ful-
ALI the conditions as required by the
board.
Peter G. Peterson and ten other
property owners in the vicinity OF
Smith street and watson avenue
sent q complaint to the board about
the smell emitting from the barrel
1t0rehOuse of Gluck brothers at 329
