There is some talk that q base
ball league for Chequsmego
Bay towns may be organized
within the next few weeks. A
meeting of the managers of the
Washburn, Bayfield,, Ashland
and Odanah teams has been
called for next Sunday at which
the proposition will be discussed.
For some time there has been a
feeling that a league for this re-
gion should be organized and it
is likely that steps toward that
end will be taken at the meeting
next Sunday.

A HISTORY OF The CASE
SHOWING HOW THE PROPOSITION
WAS RUSHED THROUGH THE
COUNCIL AND WHAT THE
CITY is GETTING
OUT OF 1T

The fourth of our articles on
Municipal Affairs has to do with the
leasing of the front rooms of the
Bank of Washburn Building known
as the City Clerks office. This is
another deal in which a large number
of taxpayers are interested and is
perbaps the one that has been most
talked about.
At the May 18th meeting of the
Common Council proposition was
presented from d. M. Maxcy. vice.
president of the Bayfield, County
Bank. to lease the rooms in the front
part of the City Building commonly
known as the city clerks Offices, at a
monthly rental of $500 per month,
the bank to furnish man to look
after the heating plant and the city
to furnish coal for fuel, the lease to
run for a term of five years with the
privilege of five year extension.
When this proposition was read by
the Clerk Mayor Peavey took the
floor and explained that it was
through him that Mr.. Maxcy was
induced to make the proposition to
the city, he (Mr. Peavey believing
it to be q good bargain for the city.
lit was started by Mr.. Peavey at this
meeting that the renting of the city
clerks office to the Bayfield, County
Bank would mean as much as $4,000
per month or more to the city, for
by renting the property the services
of the janitor could be dispensed
with, thereby effecting a saving OF
$25. 90 per month, which together
with the monthly rental paid would
be as lgood as $4,000 per month
The question of the saving in lights
and telephone was also brought in,
in order to make the proposition ap-
pear to be a good one.
Some of the councilmen wanted tc
know what the city was to do with

tary l.. N. Clausen on Monday

During election day there was fire.

out an Office of any kind and several
methods were suggested, one being
the renting of cheap building for
this purpose, the other the using of
the Commercial Club rooms for coun-
Gil meetings, and also the fitting up
of room in the town hall.
The councilmen wanted more time
to think the proposition over and a
motion was made to lay the matter
over until the next meeting. The
motion, according to the records,
was passed unanimously. When the
business of the evening was disposed
of a motion Ito adjourn the meeting
until May 21st was passed. The
council met on May 21st as per ad-
journment and shortly after being
called to order a motion was put to
take up the matter of leaving the
city clerks Offices. Objection was
made by Aldermen Bryan on the
ground that this was an adjourned
meeting and the motion of the pre-
vious meeting was to lay the matter
over until the next meeting. Bryan
objection was overruled by Mayor

that the trot was the only really natu- ral dance If it is not natural" added the senator, it is certainly very near to nature as far as my observations go"
 There is more basis of fact in this remark than may be generally real iZed. These dances so much in vogue just now are as old as humanity, as old as furred or feathered life upon our planet All those animals which man has hadbest opportunity to ob serve have evolved ways peculiar to their species of giving by antic. action. posture or performance, pantimimic expression to their emotions. Very many dances and so successfully if the performers were artists that the cognoscenti watching the entertain ment could tell at once whether q bear deer or pig was portrayed; whether it was pigeon strutting, pOuting, sticking out his breast and scraping the ground with his wings. or whether 1t was q quail which squatted and pecked at the ground.
 With the animals the theme was ev- CT the same though acted out with endless variations and the mimetic dances of savage tribes are described in detail in various ethnOIOgical works

 Hardware Supply Co.,

The Phoenix Warehouse company lo, atcd at the corner or Third avenue and Jackson street has been rc- clristened this week. and having re- ceiVed the sanction of the powers that be, will hereafter be known as iac Arizona Hardware Supply GO. In view of the wide scope of the busi- ness of this prosperous institution. the diversity of the lines it carries. and it's facilities to serve it's GUS toners, the new name is far more suitable. The old name was de- cidcdlN q misnomer. and now that he concern is rid of that particular hand leap, its continued growth and ac- tVity will undoubtedly be still more rapid than in the past II. r. Dc Mund is president of the company and II K.

written for serious inquirers. Out of these grew d class of oriental dances which have not vet met the general ap- proVal of old fashioned people in west ern lands while the fandango, with it's languOr and it's fire. and the bolerO and it's passionate parent. the zarabanda, were lneal descendants
 It may well be. therefore. that the expert in matters saltatoTN quoted by Senator DepeW was right, and that the criticised dances of today are more natural, being less conventional and nearer to d spontaneous expression of animal emotions than the more for mal dances they seem to be driving out. If. however evolutionary progress is in the direction of the suppression of the animal and the glorification of the spiritual, it is no sufficient justification of such dances that they are eminently natural and were danced in forest glades and on the dunes in the twilight of time before man had initiated and developed the Rochester Post EX- press.
