considerable money when they could
have been avoided had there been a
tendancy on the part of the County
Board members and the Income
Assessor to get together.
District Attorney Charles F.
Morris of ron River will look after
the interests of the County Board of
Bayfield, county at the hearing. Mr..
Morris will be at the court house in
this city on Monday, January 5th, to
assist anyone desirous of filing COM
plant, in making affidavits, etc.
The County Board has taken the
initiative in this matter and they ex-
pect the people to come forward with
their complaints if they have any to
make. The main complaint seems to
be that the Income Assessor is too
dictatorial and arbitrary and also
that he has misjudged values to con-
siderable extent.

Given Away at Times Office
Christmas Morning
Good for Ten Cents in Trade
at any Store in Wash
burn,

On Christmas morning, between
the hours of nine and eleven, we
want the little children of Washburn
to be on hand at The Times Office to
receive Christmas Greeting Coupons
which will be distributed. These
coupons are good for ten cents in
trade at any store in the city. There
has been deposited with the Wash
burn Times ample funds with which
to present every child in Washburn
with Greeting Coupon and we shall
be disappointed if the children fail to
call.
Last year we gave out over five
hundred of these coupons to the little
folks and it would give as greater
pleasure if the number were swelled
to six hundred this year. The little
folks appreciate these tokens and it
is with pleasure that we give them
out.
Remember the hour, from nine to
eleven o'clock Christmas morning.

Twentv-Seven Hundred Acres
in Tract
Is Located at Bibon on the
Omaha Line. Surveyors
Complete Work.

Jerod Day and his assistants have
recently completed the survey of the
big Wilkins Muirs- Bowers cattle ranch
near Benoit. 1t contains about 2,7O0
acres, and it took the surveyors about
40 days to complete their job. Fenc-
ing the tract is well under way, and
it is understood that cattle will be
put on the ranch next spring. In
addition to the Ashland owners of
this property, Chicago parties are in
terested.
"Grasslaud" was the name given
to Northern Wisconsin a few years
ago.
Ii is probably better name than
the New North, which was applied
to this region 90 years ago. In a
country where clover grows by the
roadsides as common as weeds, and
where the hay crop averages twice as
much per acre as it does in Iowa or
Illinois, Grassland" is not a bad
title. Ashland News.

there will be a mass of evidence. It
will not be altogether a one-sided
affair for Assessor William Landraint

figures as to valuations of county

Since Mr.. Landraint was appointed
to the position which he now holds,
that of Income Assessor of Bayfield,
county, he and the County Board
members have not hitched together
very well and there has always been
dispute when it came to making the
for the county. The
Income Assessor seemed determined
that his figures should be taken as q |

seem willing to concede one point

THE END OF A
BITTER FIGHT.
Boutin Will Case Reaches
Compromise Stage
H. J. Wachsmuth Will be
Appointed Administrator in
Place of Frank Boutin.

The Boutin will case which has
been before the cour:s for the past
year or more and which has been
bitterly contested has now reached a
compromise stage. The matter was
to have come up at Ashland this
week, but this was prevented when a
compromise was reached and 1t is
stated that Mr.. Frank Boutin, Sr.
has agreed to resign as soon as his
accounts can be adjusted and H. j.
Wachsmuth of Bayfield, will be ap-
pointed administrator to wind up the
affairs of the estate.
The case has been a family contest,
the sons of the late Frank Boutin
being on one side and the daughters
on the other. The daughters have
sought to have their brother removed
as executor. The case was begun in
the county court for Bayfield, county
and q decision favoring the executor
was rendered. The case was ap-
pealed to the Circuit Court and as
the case progressed the feeling be-
came more bitter, Many acrimonious
charges were made in the matter,
both verbal and otherwise, but the
case will not come up because of the
compromise effected.
Attorneys from Washburn, Bay
field. Superior and other points have
heen interested in the case from
time to time and it has been hotly
