fN1ISTUR EDDITUR: 1t is seldum In
- ~ deed that statesman rises to such
SzzsAS emmininse in the counsels of his
party and of the country, that he is consid-
ured almost indespinsibull. It is quite com
mum for statesmen to endeavor in round
about way to impress the peepul and in as
delicate way as possibull convey to the
public the impression that if they weer to
drop out of publick life that the wheels Of
sertain inflamed publick reforms would get
a jar in the Stats frum which recuvvery
would be at leest doubtful. Outside of
there wives and persunnel relatives, how
evver, it is not often that there veews along
theese lines air enthewiastically endorsed
by the Vox Populy.
So often it is the uther way; when
statesman is doing his duty and outside of
giving all his time to an earnest effort to
help his peepul and the country at large,
and the cents of duty well dun, and draw

verment, he seems to be getting no reward

Good Roads

1t should be the aim of the
new county road commissioner
and the members of the Bayfield,
County road committee to en-
deavor to put what roads we
now have in first class condition
this spring. Mistakes that have
been made in the past can now
be corrected and there is great
chance for the new commission.
er to make a record by starting
out this spring with this aim in
view.
A piece of road that should re.
ceive early attention is the road
leading from this city to Ash
land, and also the road leading
to Bayfield,. Considerable money
was spent on the Ashland road
during the past year and unless
the road is now kept up the
money expended will be wasted.
We understand the plan of fixing
up this road is receiving favor
able attention from the road
committee and it will be their
endeavor to maintain it in first
class condition. 1t is the plan
to have this road dragged after
every heavy rain and by doing
this the road can be made one of
the prettiest in this section.
The expense will be slight.
Some work will have to be
done on the fills that were start
ed a year ago and it may become
necessary to lengthen them out
and this work should be accom-
plished as soon as possible in
order to protect the work that
has already been done.
What we need in Bayfield,
county is the main roads kept in
good condition and the roads
leading to them improved as
rapidly as possible. Good roads
are one of the greatest things q
new country can possess and
there is no objection to the ex.
penditure of money for this pur-
pose if the work done is only
made to count.

DEMAND COOPERATION.
Marketing With a View to Lessen
High Cost Of Living.

Washington, Aug. 12.-Co- operating
in marketing with a view to lessening
the high cost of living seems to have
taken such a hold on the people of the
United States that the department OF
agriculture is being inundated with
requests from such cooperative Or
CARNATIONS for an investigation of
their individual merits. So great has
the pressure become that the depart
ment announced. today, it was not
contemplating the recommendation Of
any special system and would not pro-
coed now with its work on that line.
The department, it was disclosed,
has not yet fully organized its new bu-
reau of markets, which is designed to
organize and systemic the distribu-
ton of food between the producer and
the consumer. In its announcement ii
is set forth that no less than Ga ap-
plicants for the position of specials,
in cooperative organization disclosed
their qualifications and that the Civ.!
