He was assisted by Commander
Henry Bitschenauer, and En-
signs johnson and Sorenson.
Nearly sixty passed the examin.
alton and were enrolled as mem
bers of the new company. The
muster roll of the new com pany
has been forwarded to Madison
and the division here is now a
part of the state militia.
III. H. Peavey who has taken
an active part in the organiza-
tion of the company here, was
chosen AS the first commander
and Tom Kenniff was elected
Lieutenant Junior Grade and
Amos M. Hansen as Ensign.
The company have nadea wise
choice in the selection of their
first officers which shows that
they want TO get good start.
The first regular meeting of the
division will be held at the town

be present promptly at eight
o'clock.
The Naval Militia company will
consist of sixty-five men land

do so by signing enlistment
blanks which are now at the
Office of the Commander H. HI.

The City Council have been
asked to turn over the town hall
building to the new company to
be used as an armory, and the
matter will be decided upon at
the next regular meeting of that
body. The council members at
their last meeting were almost
unanimous in agreeing to lease
the building to the new company
and it is not expected that there
will be any opposition to the re-
solution at the next meeting OF
the council.

The William Burns store building
was badly damaged by Fire and wat
er last SaturdayEmorning. The alarm
was turned in 7:2O a. m. and it was
not until nearly ten o'clock that the
fire was put out.
The fire started from the explosion
of small lamp. Mr.. Burns had come
down in the morning and had lighted
the lamp which he used to keep the
peanuts warm. He was engaged in
doing his usual morning chores when
he heard the explosion. He en-
deavored to put the blaze out but the
fire spread rapidly and call was sent
in for the fire department. The
place where the lamp exploded was
right under a small elevator shaft
and the flames rushed up this setting
fire to the wood work. For time it
looked as if the entire building would
be consumed by the flames but
through the work of the fire COM
panies not much damage was done
by the fire. The side of the build
ing where the fire started was burned
considerable as was also the floor.

Business Outlook
Good For Next Season
PEAVEY MAY RUN
An Effort Being Made to
Induce Him to Enter the
Field for Mayor.

An effort has been made by the
business men and others of the city
during the past week to induce IL.
HI. Peavey to become candidate for
the office of mayor at the spring elec-
ton. Mr.. Peavey has the matter
under advisement and will make an
announcement before very long.
Mr.. Peavey is man of the pro-
gressive type who would take an
active interest in affairs that would
tend to build up greater city. He
has the business ability to handle
problems that would come up before
the city and would make an excellent
official if he could be induced to accept
the office if elected.
When interviewed yesterday by a
Times representative as to becoming
4 candidate MIR. Peavey stated that
he would consent to run if the busi-
ness men would give him the assur-
ance that they would take an interest
in the affairs of the city during the
two year term. Mr.. Peavey says
that at election time there are MANY
who are apparently interested in the
city affairs but that after election this
interest dies out until the elected
official is left alone to fight out the
problems. He is willing to devote a
part of his time to the duties of the
Office but does not believe that any one
official should be expected to fight
cut the city problems alone.

Washburn Industries Will
Employ Many Men
Mills Have Full Season Run.
Other Institutions to be
Busy.

The prospects are very encouraging
for busy season in Washburn next
season. All of the industries of the
city are making preparations for full
summer run and this will mean the
employment of large army of men.
Nearly four hundred men will be
employed in the Stearns and Sprague
mills and in the handling of lumber
on the docks The Kenfeld-Lamor-
eaux company will employ in the
neighborhood of 100 men and boys,
the Dynamite plant will employ be-
tween two and three hundred men at
their works at Barksdale, the coal
docks expect lively season and will
give steady employment to nearly
forty men. The Omaha railroad also
employs quite number, about forty
in the city being employed by that
company. Besides this number there
is also number of train crews that
make their headquarters here.
In addition to the above there will
be much work on the farms adjacent
to the city. There are now between
one hundred and two hundred men
with families residing on farms near
the city and the merchants here get
the bulk of their trade.
With all of this work going on
about the city times ought to be
rather lively during the summer
months. The prospects never looked
brighter for good year than they dc
right at this time.

Sum for the Year Totals
$2648.OO
Bayfield, County Pays Half of
This Sum and State the
Other Half.

1t will be somewhat ola surprise to
many to note that during the past
year the sum of $264S 90 has been
paid out for bounties in Bayfield, coun-
ty. Of this amount the state pays
half and the county the other half
The figures obtained cover the period
from February, 1911 to the present
time.
Wolf hunters have been unusually
active during the past year and the
result has been that many wolves and
wild cats have been slain but the
number does not seem to be dimin-
ished very much.
At the present time bounty of
500 is paid for all grown wolves
killed and smaller amount for the
wolf cubs. A bounty of So is paid on
wild cats. Some are inclined to
think that if the bounty on wild
animals was increased that there
would be more active campaign
against them and that the result
would be that the number would be
materially diminished in very short
time and that the county and state
would be money ahead. At recent
meeting of the county board Ashland
county voted to increase the bounty
to double the present amount pro-
viding that Bayfield, and Sawyer
counties would increase their bounty
to like amount The county board
may take some action on the question
of increasing the bounty at their
spring meeting.

Not Many People Seem to
Want City Offices.
Herring Says that He is not
A Candidate for the
Office of Mayor.

Although election day is little more
than a month away yet there are but
few candidates in the field for city
Offices. At the present time Louis
Miller is the only announced candi-
date in the field, having announced
that he would be a candidate for the
Office for assessor. 1t has also been
stated that James Kinney would be a
candidate for this position. Nels
Lee viii again be candidate for
reelection to the Office of city treas
urer an d it is not likely that he will
have any opposition. Mr.. Lee has
made very good official and the
m ajority of the voters will see that he
remains in that position.
G. A. Herring will not be can
didate to succeed himself to the
Office of mayor and some other candi-
date viii have to be induced to enter
the field. A good many have been
mentioned for that position but as
yet none have signifed their intention
of becoming a candidate. John
Manning has been spoken of thi:
week as being a candidate and the
names of Olaf Olson and Charles Peter
son have also been mentioned, but
none have as yet made a definite
decision.
There is also six aldermen to be
elected this N,ring from the several
wards of the city but none seem to be
anxious for the place and the Office
will in all probability seek the men.
This is also true of the office of Super
visor. A number of the present
incumbents of the position state that
they will not stand for reelection and
this means that others will have to be
chosen.
There is also two Municipal
Judges to be ell ected this spring by
the vote RS of the county, one at Iron
River tc succeed Peter J. Savage,
and the other at Bayfield, to succeed
DR.. H. G. Mertens. Both have
made excellent officials and the
voters could not do better than to
continue them IN the Office.
