OF FIRE TRAPS
Council to Condemn All
RamShackIe Buildings
Committee Covering the En-
tire City and Proceedings
Will be Started

Acting on the suggestion of Mayor
HI. III. Peavey the Common Council
at their meeting held on Tuesday
evening voted that committee
of three members be ! appointed for
the purpose of making an investiga-
tion of all old and diIapidated build
ings in the city with the hope of
ridding the city of these fire traps.
The movement is one of the best
that the council has ever started and
every citizen should lend a hand in
the good work.
The committee appointed by the
council started out yesterday MORN
ing to make the investigation and
before noon a total of twenty-one
buildings had been placed on the bad
order list. Business blocks, dwellings,
sheds and barns are said to be on the
list and the committee will not
cease their investigations until the
entire city has been gone over thor
oughly. This committee will make
their report to the Board of Public
Works who will bring the matter
before the council at it's next meet
ing and condemnation proceedings

The committee making the inves-
tigation was surprised at the number

TO HOLD PUBLIC MEETING
j. p. O'Conner of the Uni
versity Extension Division
Will Explain Work.

A public meeting will be held ut
the Temple Theatre in this city next
Sunday afternoon at four o'clock and
will be conducted by Mr.. J. p.
O'Conner, who will be assisted by
Mr.. w. c. Weaver. The purpose of
this meeting is that people of WASH
burn may have explained to them
the work that the Extension Division
of the University is doing for the
people Of the state and to interest
people here in the work.
A lecture will be given by Mr..
O'Conner and this will be illustrated
with views of the work, and all men
of the city are especially urged to be
present, and also young men who are
not now attending the public schools.
The University of Wisconsin is
distinctly an institution for the COM
mon people and through its extension
department people from any and all
parts of the state may take up studies
along all lines. Thousands of people
throughout the state are now taking
up work in the Extension division
and in nearly all of the larger cities
large classes have been organized.
1t is in the hope of organizing q class
In this city that the meeting is to be
held here next Sunday afternoon.
The Extension Division offers
correspondence courses in political
economy, commerciallaw, engineer
ing, mathematics, all business forms,
and in fact all lines that will fit men
for the active duties of life. The
expense of taking up studies through
this correspondence course is very
small, being barely enough to cover
the expense of the course.
Providing a class is organized in
this city Mr.. Weaver will visit the
city once every week to instruct the
class and if the class Is large enough
some local instructor will be provided.

JUSTICE MILL
STILL GRINDING
Circuit Court Turning Out
Many Cases
Some Important Damage
Cases Tried During
the Past Week

The justice mill on the hill has
been grinding steadily during
the past week and a number of
important cases have been up
for trial.
The case of J. FL. Klovstad vs..
T. N. Okerstrom occupied the
attention of the court and a jury
for four days during the week.
Klovstad was suing for $4,000
for damages alleged to have been
done to a lake on his land at the
mouth OF the Flag liver at Port
Wing. Mr.. Klovstad claimed
that the lake and the land front.
ing it was valuable property for
the reason that it might some
day be used for docks but that
its value was lessened to the ex-
tent of $40, 900 or more because
the lake had been partly filed.
He alleged that Okerstrom had
operated q dredging outfit in
order to deepen the channel from
the lake up to his mill and that
the sand bad been dumped into
this lake. The case was bitter.

street that Is dilapidated and out of
repair will be removed from the
street, and such should be the case.
Many of the buildings to be found
along the I,ri,.ipal street are q dis
grace to the city and q burden to the
owners. For years many of these
places have been unoccupied and
they have been let 60 to rack and
ruin until today they are unfit to
occupy a place in the city. For
years these places have been an
eye-sore and the sooner they are
gotten rid of the better It will be for
everyone concerned.
All hats off to Mayor Peavey and
the Council-may they keep up the
good work they have started.

Huntera and Dog.

Many of the hunters of this
section were under the opinion that
the law referring to the taking of
dogs into the woods applied to only
the open season for deer but advice
comes from Madison that the law
applies for the entire month of
November and game wardens give
out the warning that arrests will
follow for violation of the law If
hunters are caught hunting with
dogs during the present month.
Dogs are also not permitted around
logging camps or temporary camps
OF any nature during the month OF
November in counties where deer
are hunted.

Jury in Circuit Court A.
wards Big Verdict
Case Will be Appealed to the
Supreme Court by the
City of Washburn.

A verdict for $4,000 was awarded
against the city of Washburn by a
jury in circuit court last Friday after
noon in the case of Mary Carlson,
Administrative of the Estate of Fred
Carlson. This case was on trial dur
ing the greater part of last week and
the verdict was quite surprise to
many who had followed the case.
The case. was the result of an in
jury which Fred Carlson received in
this city year ago last summer.
Carlson was returning home from
town at night and as he was passing
along Bayfield, street near the Peter
Rude barber shop he fell over the
railing, falling distance of about
twelve feet. He landed on log at
the bottom of the ravine and his
back was broken by the fall. He
died at the hospital at Ashland few
days after the injury.
Attorney E. c. Alvord of this city
represented the city's side of the
case while McCloud and Pierelle of
Ashland appeared for the plaintiff.
The railing over which Carlson fell
was not broken and it was the con-
tention Of the city that Carlson had
sat upon the railing and losing his
balance, had fallen over. The rail-
ing, according to the city, was in a
good condition of repair and they
claimed that 'Carlgon's accident was
due t. higSxn negligence.
The case will be appealed to the
Supreme court in the hope of having
the verdict reversed.

SUPERIOR--BAYFIELD
ROAD FINDS FAVOR
Committee Will Recommend
It's Construction
Would Give a Direct Road
Through Bayfield, and
Douglas Counties.

A recommendation that Douglas
county construct its part of the long
considered Bayfeld-Superior high
way will be made by the committee
to the Douglas county board at their
meeting to be held on November
18th. The committee will also ad-
wise that temporary road to connect
with the Bayfield, county highway be
constructed and the permanent road
be divided in sections, one section to
be built each year.
A committee Of the Douglas coun-
ty board composed of Thomas Jay
Nelson and j. Conner and commit
tee of the Bayfield, county board
composed of C. F. Bogenrief and F.
L. Carlson and Division highway
engineer F. M. Sergeant for the
state, met at Superior recently and
the proposed route was gone over.
Bayfield, county's part of the pro-
posed system is now practically built,
there remaining only the connecting
link to make in order to reach the
Douglas county line. The county
board of Bayfield, county is willing
to construct this part of the road pro-
viding they have the assurance from
Douglas county that they will con-
struct their part OF the airline high
way.
This proposed road connecting the
county seat Of Bayfield, county with
the city Of Superior would traverse =
fertil farming country and would be
of much benefit to the people of both
counties. It is likely that the Doug
las county board will act favorably on
the committees report.
