AT OPERA HOUSE SAT. NIGHT
MAKES STATEMENT THAT NOT
MORE THAN 20 OF THE 191
SIGNERS OF RECALL PETI-
TION KNOW ANYTHING
ABOUT CITY Gov
ERNMENT

A mass meeting was held at the
Opera House in this city last Satur-
day evening, having been called by
Mayor HI. H. Peavey for whom a
recall election has been called. 1t
was said by Mr.. Peavey before the
meeting in an announcement pub
lished i'm the Washburn News that
the meeting was to be strictly a
Peavey meeting and for that reason
none of those back of the recall
petition came prepared to debate the
questions at issue.
At the beginning of his address
the Mayor stated that the articles
which have been published in the
Times were started for the purpose
of discrediting him at Madison.
Right here we wish to call your
attention to the announcement pub
lished in the Times on March 9th in
which we stated that at meeting of
the Council held on March 4th
Mayor Peavey had said that the local
papers seemed afraid to open up"
on any questions that did not seem
right and further stating that it was
the duty of the press to do so. Act
ing upon Mr.. Peavey's suggestion we
began the publication of series of
articles dealing with affairs of the
council during the past year and on
March Sth we received letter from
Mr.. Peavey from Madison in which
he said, Am glad to see that you
are going after Municipal affairs and
if anyone has been doing wrong
hope you will show it up"
Again on March 31st the Mayor
writes IL have read with interest your
articles on Municipal affairs and | can
see, in many ways, wherein they are
going to benefit the town. The fact
that | was mentioned in conjunction
with the renting of the city building
does not injure my feelings particle.
| knew before | went into that, that
| would be condemned generally.
However | have not changed nv
views particle in that particular.

Thursday. June 5th is the
Date Set.
Voters Will Have an Oppor-
tunity at That Time To
Express Opinion.

Thursday, June 5th, has been sci
as the the date on which the voters OF
Washburn shall determine whether OF
not Mayor HI. H. Peavey shall be
recalled from his office.
The petition, containing in all l9l
names, was taken up at a special
meeting called by Mayor Peavey last
Friday evening. The certificate OF
the clerk L. N. Clausen was present
ed to the effect that the petition
contained a sufficient number OF
names to demand call for an elect
ion and this was certified to the coun-
Gil, The council then voted whether
or not an election should be called
and the vote stood six for election
and five against. The law does not
provide that the council shall deter
mine whether or not an election
should be held, but specifies that
they shall set the date of the election
and this was done, the date being
set for Thursday, June 5th, the earl
lest date at which the election can be
held.

All Citizens Should Join in
the Movement.
School Children and Teach
ers Interested in the
Campaign.

Saturday, May 3rd, has been
designated as ''Clean- up day" in
Washburn and on that day an
effort will be made to clean the
city of all rubbish and unsightly
things and for making the city
more beautiful by the planting
of trees, shrubs, flowers. etc
The movement has been en-.
tered into by the teachers and
children of the Public and Paro-
chial schools and all citizens
should unite in the movement to
make the city more beautiful.
There is many things that can
be done along this line. Dirt
and rubbish can be removed
from the lots, alleys aud streets,
broken side walks can be re-
paired, dipilated fences can be
mended and paint can be used to
good effect upon buildings that
have become unsightiJ. 1t is
not necessary that all of this
work should be completed on
May 3rd but that day has been
set as the day to begin the work
and the work can be continued
until Washburn is one of the
cleanest cities in the state.
The movement is now being
agitated in the schools and the
children will be found to be will
ing workers in lending a hand in
the work. Parents and citizens
interested should help the move
ment in every way possible.
The Kenield Lamoreaux Co.,
the Stearns Lumber company
and the M. H. Sprague Lum Der
Co., have all offered to donate
teams with which to haul the
rubbish away. Have your piles
of rubbish handy for the teams
when they come your way.

Ashland and Superior Schools
Capture First Place
Their Representatives Will
Compete in State Contest
at Madison.

The final oratorical contest of the
Chequsmegon Oratorical League was
held at the Congregational church
last Friday evening and was one of
the largest attended meetings of the
kind that has ever been held in this
city, large delegations coming here
from Superior and Ashland. The
auditorium at the Congregational
church was crowded to its fullest
capacity.
Jack Heath of the Nelson Dewey
school of Superior captured first place
in the Oratorical contest with his ora
ton A plea for Cuba, while the
second place went to Edwin Gordon
of the Superior High School, the
subject of Gordon's grafton being
For the Greater Republic
In the declamatory contest Miss
Ruth Hitter of Ashland won first
place, the subject of her defamation
being "The Sign of the Cross" and
Miss Edna Bacon of Ironwood won
second place with John Storms Re-
venge".
Miss Lillian Shoresman, Wash
burns representative, made very
good showing with her defamation
"The Heart of Old Hickory.
The music rendered was by the
High School Glee Club and the
Cecilian Double Quartette. The
Judges of the contest were Walter
Ryan of Hudson, F. E. Hamlin of

Farewell Party

A farewell party was given in

was very pleasantly spent. Miss

The Road Committee and the road
Commissioner are looking at the road
question in the right light when they
attempt to keep the roads we now
have in first class condition. If they
follow out this practice there will be
nothing but praise from all parts of
the county for their work.

Money Expended Right Will
Do Wonders.
County Road South of City
Put in Fine Condition
at Small Cost.

That good roads can be maintained
at little cost has been demonstrated
this spring by O. A. Lamoreaux o.
this city. Mr.. Lamoreaux is boost.
er for good roads. He believes tina,
good roads are one of the best adver.
tisemcnts that community can have
A large amount of work was done
on the Ashland -Washburn road south
of this city last fall by Road Commits.
sioner Eben Olson, nearly four thou
sand dollars being expended in put
ting in the gravel fills and in leveling
and widening the road. This work
was not completed last fall and when
the spring thaws came the roads be-
gan to rut up in such shape that they
were in very poor condition. Mr..
Lamoreaux noticed this condition and
thought that it was a shame to lei
this road 60 to pieces after this
amount of money had been expended
and he took one of his teams and
borrowed the county road drag and
began the work ofputting it in shape.
A total of ~. so was expended on the
road and for that amount over five
miles of the road was put in first class
shape, the road drag being used to fill
up the ruts and level it up.
So noticeable was the work that
the road committee of Bayfield, county,
after seeing what work had been done
at that small cost, ordered that the
road should be taken care of after
every rain during the summer months
We wish to congratulate Mr..
Lamoreaux for suggesting the idcs
and the Road Commissioner John
Sundell and the Bayfield, County road
committee for putting into practice ar
idea that will put this county road in
such shape chat it will become
one of the best of its kind in this
mart of the state.
The road committee should gel
some person to look after the county
road from Nash down to the Ashland
county line and man or two should
also be engaged to look after the
road from Washburn north. If these
roads are taken care of Immediately
after every rain the expense of keep
ing them in first class shape will be
very light and the roads will become
better with time. On the other
hand if they are neglected the roads
will 60 from bad to worse until g
large amount of money will have to
be expended to put them in good
shape.
1t would seem to us that it would
be much better to spend hundred
or SO dollars each year in keeping
these roads ND then to neglect them
