Insurance Men do not Con-
slider it a Safe Risk
Was Installed Last Year at a
Cost tof 1856. .38. Has Caused
Heaps of Trouble.

w. F. Bremen, a boiler Inspector
representing the Fidelity and Casualty
Company of New York, was in the
city the first of the week for the pur-
pose of making an inspection of the
boiler in the City Hall Building on
which the company he represents is
now carrying policy. While here
Mr.. Bremen stated that he would
advise his company that they cancel
the insurance Immediately as he
did not consider the boiler safe
risk.
One of the reasons given by Mr..
Brennan was that there was not a
regular man in charge of the city s
heating plant and that the boiler in
the city hall was not safe without a
regular man in attendance. In speak
ing about the boiler Mr.. Brennan
said that it was possible with cast
iron boiler of the type installed in
the city hall building for the water
to give out in but few minutes time
in which event there would be an
explosion. He stated that every
cubic foot of steam contained in the
boiler was equal to pound Of dyna-
mite and that to leave it with only
occasional attention was more risk
than his company wished to carry
and for this reason he would order
the insurance cancelled.
Since the new boiler was installed
in the city hall building there has
been more or less trouble. In the
first place the council committee was
without authority when it installed
the boiler without first having ad-
vertised for bids in accordance with
law. The new boiler has proven to
be more expensive to run than the
old boiler and the heating had been
anything but satisfactory.
So poorly has the city hall build
ing been heated during the past year
that the tenants have threatened to
leave unless conditions were more
satisfactory.
Now comes the boiler Inspector for
the insurance company and says that
his company does not wish to carry
the risk.
If the city expects to get insurance
ON it's boiler in the city hall it
will have to employ regular janitor
for under the present conditions in
surance companies will not carry the
risk.

AT THE RATE OF
FIFTY A DAY
County Clerk Busy Issuing
Licenses to Hunters
About a Thousand Have Been
Issued to Hunters of Bay
field County.

County Clerk Nels M. Oscar is
kept on the Jump these days issuing
licenses to the hunters of Bayfield,
county and applications are now COM
ing in at the rate IF about fifty per
day. To date about one thousand
licenses have been issued to the
hunters of Bayfield, county and it
looks as though the high record for
last season will be broken again this
year despite the fact that children
cannot obtain licenses.
Last season something over 5000
licenses were issued during the year
but this season, with only the open
season for grouse and chickens on,
over one thousand have been issued.
Partridge season does not open until
the 1st OF October and deer season
opens again on the ilth of Novem-
ber. There is always a heavy rush
previous to the opening of each sea-
son and this means that the largest
portion of the licenses are yet to be
issued.
Game birds have been very plenti-
full in Bayfield, county this season and
hunters who have been out in the
woods say that deer will also be
plentiful. Bayfield, county is the
paradise for hunters and each year
many from different parts of the
country come TO this county to hunt.

Papers From Other Side of
the bay Boosting for
Proposition
TO LOCATE FAIR At ASHLAND
bayfield, County People Fa-
vor the Idea but say Nix
as to Location. Want
the Fair at Ashland
Junction.

During the past week the Ashland
papers have been 'devoting consider
able space toward boosting for a
county fair for the counties of Ash
land, Bayfield, and Iron and the
people from the other side of the
pond have worked up considerable
enthusiasm over the project.
The proposition to establish tri-
country fair at some point on or near
Chequamegon Bay was first broached
by the people of this city and the
idea, therefore, is not new one to
the people on this side of the bay.
For years Bayfield, and Ashland
counties have conducting separate
fairs. The Bayfield, county fair has
had the Ashland county fair backed
clear off the board so far as the
agricultural exhibits were concerned
but this year on account of the early
date on which the Bayfield, county
fair was held the exhibits were not
nearly as large as they were during
the two years previous af,d natu rally
people were somewhat disappointed.
On the other hand the Ashland
people, whose fair was held week
later, made much better showing
that they did on any previous year,
and on account of this reason they
feel that they are entitled to the
location of the tri-county fair.
The people of Bayfield, county
would favor the idea of a tri-county
fair but would never consider the
location of the fair grounds in the
city of Ashland.
From what talk we have had with
the people of this vicinity the proper
place for The tair grounds for tri-
county fair would be at Ashland
Junction in Bayfield, county, near the
Ashland county line. With the fair
grounds at Ashland Junction the
enterprising people of the city of
Ashland could see to it that the
street railway was extended to tho
grounds and in that way Ashland
would get the lions share of what
business there would be from the
people attending the fair while on
the other hand the advertising would
be equally divided.
Bayfield, county is known the coun-
try over for the fine fruit, grains,
grasses, vegetables and root crops
that can be grown in this section and
no doubt this county would furnish
the bulk of the exhibits for the tri-
county fair.
The idea of fair is not for
grand amusement program but
should be more of place where the
people of the counties can display
the products of the farm, orchard
and garden. The sooner we get
away from the idea that the amuse-
ment part of the progam at fair is
the main thing, the better it will be
for the fair. Of course the amuse-
ment part of the program is needed
to fill in with, but it is far from being
the main part of the show.
Ashland people can count on Bay
field county people joining in the
idea of tri-county fair providing the
fair grounds are located at or near
Ashland Junction but the people
here do not favor the fair grounds
being located in the city of Ashland.
