Doing Good Work

President Frank Downs of the
Washburn Commercial Club has
started a campaign for placing
Washburn on the map and he
has already accomplished some
very effective work along this
line. 1t was through his efforts
that the Booth Fisheries Com
pany was induced to run their
steamers America and Easton
into Washburn and he is also en-
deavoring in other ways to give
Washburn the advertising that
it is entitled to. Many of the
maps now being used by adver.
tising companies do not now con-
tain the name of Washburn, al
though it is the county seat of
Bayfield, county and one of the
important harbors on the Great
Lakes and Mr.. Downs is taking
this matter up and in several in
stances has gotten the companies
to agree to discontinue using
the old maps and in the future
to use maps with Washburn on.
1t is because of the lack of in.
terest in some of these things
that Washburn has not been ad-
vertised more and the work Mr.. /.
Downs is doing will be greatly
appreciated by those interested
in seeing Washburn go ahead.

SCHOOL EXHIBIT
A BIG SUCCESS
Many Present to see Work
of the City Schools
Large Numbers Present Mon
day and Tuesday to Look
Over the Work.

The annual exhibit of the Wash
burn Public schools which was held
at the Walker school on Monday and
Tuesday of this week was one of the
best that has ever been held in the
city and Supt. S. A. Oscar and the
teachers are entitled to a good deal
of credit for their arrangement of the
work. The exhibit consisted of at
least one piece of work from every
school child in the city and this was
placed around the walls of the high
school assembly room and on tables in
the recitation rooms where it could
be viewed by people attending the
exhibit. The work exhibited was of
a very high grade and showed the ex-
cellent work being done in the Wash
burn Public schools. During the
two days the manual training and the
domestic science departments were in
operation and good deal of interest
was centered in these two branches
of the schools. Much beautiful work
is being done in these departments.
On Tuesday evening program was
held at the High School which con-
sisted of an address by Carl Beck of
Superior, social center worker. The
address of Mr.. Beck proved very in
teresting. There were also several
musical numbers which were well
received.
The weather during the two day 8
of the exhibit was anything but
favorable and had it been fine
weather record breaking crowds
would have been in attendance.

Two Samples Marked Safe
and one Suspicious.
Both Samples Marked Safe
Contain too Many Bac-
terra Says Report.

A report of the water samples sent
to Madison for analy sis was received
by Health Officer T. R. Spears last
evening. The report shows the
water to be not altogether satisfact-
ory. Three samples were sent to
Madison for analysis, one being ta-
ken from the Walker school, one
from the Pioneer school and one from
the Lincoln school. The interpreta-
ton of the report on the water sent
from the Walker school was that the
water was safe for drinking purposes
but that it contained to much bacter-
ia. A like report was made on the
samples sent from the Pioneer school.
The water sent from the Lincoln
school, while containing less bacteria
than the samples sent from the other
two schools was marked as suspicious.
When the water contains too many
bacteria it is likely to cause bowel
trouble in children while grown-up
people might drink it without any
bad effects. But there is question
if the city drinking water is safe as
yet for drinking purposes. The one
sample marked suspicious indicates
that the chemists making the analysis
found it not to be satisfactory. 1t is
therefore better to continue drinking
only water that has been boiled until
another test can be made. There is
no cost to the city in having this
analysis made and therefore it should
be done without delay.
The health of community is a
very important thing and the fact
hat more cases of typhoid fever have
been reported during the past week
indicates that the source of the
trouble has not as yet been cleared
up. More samples should be sent to
Madison and then if the report is not
favorable they should be followed up
again. Because the first cases re-
ported were among school children it
was for this reason that the water
samples were taken from the public
schools. We would suggest that the
next time one of the samples be taken
from the reservoir, one from dead
pipe end and one from one of the
schools.
