Looks Like no Celebration

There is not likely to be any 4th
of July celebration in this city this
year unless there is an active effort
made within the next two or three
days. Many of the business men OF
the city favor a celebration but no one
wants to take the initiative and start
the ball rolling. The City Band has
been waiting for business men to de-
eide for the past two or three weeks
but yesterday signed contract to
play at Bayfield, during the day.
Ashland and Bayfield, will hold
celebrations and unless there is a
celebration in this city many of the
town people will go away to spend
the day.

much doing this afternoon.
The Roosevelt forces are en-
deavoring to unseat the contest

F. H. Eustes of Chicago in
Charge of Work
Which is Being Done Under
Direction OF Milwaukee
Rating Bureau.

F. H. Eustes of Chicago who
represents the Rating Bureau OF
Milwaukee arrived in the city the
latter part of last week and began the
work of re-rating the city. For some
time property owners and insurance
men have felt that re-rating of the
city was necessary but the Rating
Bureau has been so crowded with
work that they have been unable to
begin the work until this time.
The entire city will be gone over
and will be re-rated. Iti likely that
the rate will be changed in many in
stances.
The present rate under which all
insurance is written was made num-
Der of years ago and is entirely out oi
date.

Number of Changes.

From the present outlook it looks
as if there would be as many, if not
more, saloons in the city than there

Andrew Murray, Octave Upeey,
Charles Nelson, John Donahuc,

MR.. MERCHANT.

MIX. MERCHANT.
How much would you pay an A.
Salesman.
If you could secure a salesman that
was on friendly terms with nearly
every English speaking home in
Washburn--who was able to influence
the distribution of nearly every man s
weekly salary, wouldn' you consider
him cheap at a big salary.
Yet you can secure the services of
such salesman without paying any
fancy prices, salesman who will give
you sufficient service and bring you
satisfactory results.
The Times gets a merry welcome
in every home that has the where.
withal to buy what you have to sell,
The Times talks to your customers in
their leisure hours. That is the time
to approach them. We reach the
entire list of big and little buyers in
this vicinity.
1t is good solicitor to put faith
in. Many Washburn merchants are
already using it with good success and
you should also take advantage.
Advertise your business and lie,
the people know what goods you have
to sell. There is no better way tt
do tn is than by an advertisement
in the Times. Delay means money
out of your pocket.

THE Blue BERRY CROP
There is Every Indication
That There Will be a
Bumper One.

Land men and others returning
from the blue berry plains during the
past week report that there will be q
bumper crop of the fruit during the
coming year. Conditions have been
about right for the fruit and the
bushes at this time are loaded down
with berries. The frost of the first
of the month did not damage the
crop in the least.
Every year there is thousands Of
quarts of blue berries picked on the
field west of the city and this season
the crop will be much heavier than
for years.

Of Persons Failing to Make
Income Tax Reports
Says that Income Tax Law
Must Be Enforced. Will
Begin at Ashland.

William Landraint, assessor of in
comes, is going on the war path. Ac-
cording to the Ashland Press num-
Der of Ashland citizens who have
not made returns of their incomes as
provided by law will be arrested to
show them that the law must be en-
forced and as an example to others.
He stated that he will not begin with
persons who are ignorant of the law
or who did not have to pay an income
tax but would first arrest several
who are liable for an income tax and
also few who understood the law
but whose income did not come up
to the amount.where they were liable.
The arrest of the others will follow
later. He says that persons can
not pay no attention to the law and
that he would have several of them
before the court to answer to the
charge of not making out the making
out the returns.
Mr.. Landraint will take in this en-
tire district before he is through.
Washburn will likely be the next
place visited where arrests will he
made. If there is any one who have
failed to make out the returns they
had better get busy at once. The
date for making out the returns is
long since passed.

from the international Harvest
er company which will be used
for hauling logs from the woods
to the track of the Northern Pa
cific. Mr.. Little was in the city

that the engine works to perfec-
tion and that he expects it to
give the best Of satisfaction in
his work. Mr.. Little is engaged
in getting out jack pine bolts
for the Kentield-Lamoreaux
company and the haul to the
railroad tract is quite a distance.
With the new tractor from three
to five loads Of logs can be haul
ed at time. Mr.. Little con.
siders that the new engine will
enable him to get out more ma
terial at lower cost than il
teams were used. He says it is
surprising how the engine gets
over the ground, rough roads
making but little difference,
Don Cameron of this city will
run the engine for Mr.. Little.
