COUNTY FAIR
WILL CLOSE TODAY
Fine Exhibits, Thrilling Races
and a Good Time
Fair Came too Early to Per-
NIT of Good Display of Agri-
cultural Exhibits.

The annual Bayfield, County Fair
held at the Fair Grounds at Iron
River will come to close today.
During the three days of the fair
hundreds of people from all parts of
the county went to Iron River to see
the wonderful exhibits and witness
the attractions that had been provid-
ed for them by the officers of the
fair association.
Wednesday was the big day at the
fair and it was ON this day that a
special train waa run over the North
ern Pacific line for the accommodation
of the people from the eastern pant
of the county. Over one hundred
people from this city made the trip
to Iron River on Wednesday. An
excellent train consisting of four
coaches was run over the Northern
Pacific line and in addition to this
large numbers went over in auto
mobiles and by way of Ashland
juno lion over the Omaha line.
On account OF the early date on
which the fair was held this year the
agricultural exhibits were not nearly
as good as they were last year and
the year previous. 1t was the opinion
of everyone in attendance that the
fairs in Bayfield, county should be
held at later date in order to, per-
NIT of the best displays. What ex-
hibits were on display were fine
The fruit display was exceptionally
good but this too showed lack of
time in which to mature the fruit.
The displays of Yellow Transparent
and Duchess apples were fine as was
also the display of other early varieties
of fruits but the later varieties showed
off at a disadvantage because the
fruit lacked coloring. The same was
true of the farm products. Very
little ripe field corn was on display.
Had the fair been held two weeks
later All excellent display could have
been had.
On Wednesday Congressman /. L.
Lenroot of Superior delivered an
address at the fair grounds. Mr..
Lenroot's address was along agricul-
tural lines and was enjoyed very
much by the large crowd in attend
ance.
The race part of the program ON
the last two days of the fair was good.
On Wednesday there was profession
al horse race in which a Hibbing
horse won the two heats. There
also horseback race for amatuers.
The auto race in which the Lamoreaux
car of this city, Helmer's car of Iron
River and Soronen's car of Herbster
took part, was quite thrilling. The
race was won by Mr.. Lamoreaux who

Will be Succeeded by Rev.
Goodrich of Cumberland
New Pastor of M. e. Church
Will Preach First Sermon
Here Next Sunday.

During the past week a change has
been made in the pastors of the
Methodist church. Rev. G. N.
Galloway, who has been pastor of the
church in this city during the past
year, left on Wednesday for Rice
Lake where he will have charge of
the church there for the ensuing year
Rev. II. L. Goodrich, who has been
in charge of the church at Cumber-
land during the past year, will have
charge of the Methodist churches at
Bayfield, and Washburn during the
coming year.
The retiring pastor and his wife
during their short stay in this city
have made large number of acquaint-
ances who will be sorry to see them
leave the local field and the best
wishes will go with them for a sue
cessful year in their new field. Rev.
Galloway was one OF the strongest
pastors that the Methodist church in
this city has had in some time.
Rev. Goodrich, who will arrive
here Friday, is strong preacher who
has been very successful in the
ministry and he will undoubtedly make
a success of his new charge.

made five miles around half mile
track in eight minutes and thirty-fve
seconds. The rain was falling quite
rapidly when this race was run and
the track became quite slippery,
which compelled the drivers to
slacken their speed. The highest
speed was made by Mr.. Lamoreaux
with his Cadillac car, who at times
reaches speed of forty-five miles
per hour.
Good driving races are being held
at the fair grounds to day.
The music for the fair was furnished
by the Washburn City Band and this
organization received very many
compliments for their fine music.

BAYFIELD,. .WAsHBURN FRUIT
District Just Starting Makes
a Fine Showing.

A writer in Minneapolis Journal
says of the Bayfeld-Washburn fruit
section:
Everything q man raises can be
sold at high prices in the large near
by local markets so that the
industrious man can always realize
a few dollars If necessary. Work
this year has been plentiful at good
wages aud indications are that there
will be a demand for men for a
number OF years, especially in the
open season.
A great many business men are
developing farms and orchards In
the district and good men are in
great demand. 1t gives one pang
OF sorrow to ride through this rich,
fertile district. filled in a natural
state, with wild fruits, fish and
game, and think of the men who
could make good homes there and
become independent OF the big
demands made by the city and the
constant knowledge that old age
will place them on a shelf with
hardly bare living. If these men
were on good land, the older they
grow the more valuable and pro-
ductive would become their land and
they themselves more independent
and free to rest at will or take a
trip once and awhile. Such facts
must impress one riding through
this district for one will meet and
talk with men who have gained
independence and comfort in the
country and who can now act as
pleases them best.

COULDN'T FEAZE HIM.

While Goernor Foss of Massachu.
setts was in the South one winter, he
met an old colored man who claimed
he had known George Washington.
The governor, quite amused, asked
the old fellow if he was in the boat
when George Washington crossed the
Delaware. The old man said:
"Oh, Lor' massa, it was me dat
steered dat boat"
The governor, not to be outdone
then asked:
And do you remember, wher
George took the hack at the cherry
tree?"
The colored man was lost in thought
for moment, then, with a beaming
smile, he said:
why, sub, massa, I dun drove lat

A Wonderful Tonic
That Aids Digestion

Thousands are unable to digest GER
tain kinds of food. In most cases it is
not the fault of the food, nor the
stomach. 1t Is probable that the
stomach has been abused Many re-
sort to predigested foods and various
kinds of medicines to get relief from
dyspepsia, indigestion and heartburn.
but without permanent benefit.
If your stomach was in perfect
condition. you would not need medi-
cine to digest the foods you eat.
Jaynes Tonic Vermifuge Is a stomach
regulator. 1t gets the stomach in such
condition that it will digest food
without other assistance. It over
comes the acidity and stimulates the
coating of the stomach and intestines
so that they will properly absorb and
assimilate the nutriment from the
food eaten. Sufferers from dyspep-
sia and indigestion will find perma-
nent relief In a short time after be-
ginning the use of the tonic. For
children. the addition of a little su-
gar will make 1t most palatable.
Many forms of supposed indigestion
are the result of intestinal parasites,
for which Jayne's Tonic vermifuge is
unsurpassed. Insist upon Jayne's; ac-
cept no other. Millions have praised
1t for more than eighty years. Sold
by druggists everywhere. DR.. d.

Some of these locomotives are running

AS rule, when a locomotive jumps

some peculiar defect in the track
rather than to insufficient Hanging on

many supposed rail defects are in re-
