SHE WAS RIGHT.

Dear Miss Fairfax:
A friend of mine met a young man
through proper Introduction He called
on her Unexpectedly while she was ILL.,
and she refused to see him. She said
it was proper to write him a letter ex-
planning matters, because he thought
she did not care TO see him. I said
no. that she should not write to him,
as she had never correspondent with
him. and therefore should not be the
first to start the same. Was she right?

explanation of what appears to be a
slight. But such a note does not by
any means imply that a correspondents

only the highest praise for him. He
is now being sent out by the Exten-

treat that the people of this city can
not well afford to miss.

County Board Decides to
Defer Action Until Spring
Committee to Make a Thor.
ough Investigation in the
Meantime.

A special meeting of the county
board of Bayfield, county was held in
this city on Tuesday, the meeting
having been called for the purpose OF
taking up the long bridge question
and making some disposition of the
same.
For several years this bridge pro-
position has been before the county
board and has occupied good deal OF
the time at each meeting of that
body, and it was for the purpose OF
arriving at some solution of the ques-
ton that the meeting was called.
The Barkesdale people, who are
urging the building of the bridge,
appeared before the board represent
ed by their attorney w. F. Shea OF
Ashland and A. w. Sanborn, who
claimed to represent his own interests.
These gentlemen tended to show that
it was the duty of the board to con-
struct the bridge to take the place OF
the wooden bridge now in use.
After a good deal of discussion a
resolution was finally passed to defer
action until a thorough investigation
could be made of the two routes by a
committee from the county board and
a committee from the town of Barks-
dale, assisted by competent engineer.
These committees will report their
findings at meeting of the board to
be held in May and in the meantime
the county will repair the old wooden
bridge and this route will be used un-
til that time.
The county board elected John
Sundell of Eileen as road commission
er of Bayfield, county. There were
several candidates in the field for the
place, being Mr.. Sundell, H. Marion
Juel of Cornucopia and A. Nelson Of
Orienta. On the first ballot Mr..
Sundell received 9 votes, Mr.. Juel
6 and Mr.. Nelson S, with two other
scattering votes. Mr.. Sundell gained
strength with each ballot and wai
elected on the third ballot.

Tuesday evening, in which some OF
the deals made by the present coun-
Gil were talked over, the editor oi
this paper was informed by Mayor
Peavy that it was the duty of the
local press to "open up" on any ques-

and it was also stated that the local

brought to light, but we now pro-
pose to call the Mayor on his propo-

later taking up school and coun ty

INSURANCE AGAINST
OCCUPAT|0NAL DISEASE
The Risk and the Injury is
Just as Great as in Indus
trial Accidents.

Madison, Wis.,, March s, (Special)
Realizing that the man who contracts
a disease by reason of his employment
is entitled to compensation just as
much as the man who is hit by a fly
ing bolt, Assemblyman Fred l..
Holmes, Madison, Wis, has intro
duced measure which provides for
insurance against occupational di-
seases.
The bill proposed by Mr.. Holmes
applies solely to the issuance by the
state of insurance policies covering
sickness from vocational disease.
Both the employe and employer
are to contribute toward the premi-
ums for insurance, and like the COM
pensation act, the inducement is
made to the employer to take the
protection by the penalty which is
laid upon him in case of an employee
becoming incapacitated if he does
not.
Commission form government was
discussed in all it's phases before the
commission on Education and Public
Welfare in the senate Thursday when
citizens of Janesville turned out in
great numbers and laid their recall
troubles before the committee. The
hearing was on bill dealing with the
recall portion of the commission law.
License Commission Merchants
To prevent shippers from loss at
the hands of dishonest commission
merchants bill has been introduced
in the assembly providing for the
licensing of middlemen in this state.
If they prove dishonest their licenses
are to be revoked.
After Automatic Shotguns
Friends of wild game are back of a
measure to prevent the use of auto
tmatic guns by hunters. A number of
states have the law against the
weapon.
Doing Good Work
Working under improved methods
far in advance of the average legisla-
ture the solons at Madison are grind
ing out more work than ever in the
history of the two houses. The
machinery is SO organized that busi-
ness progresses under strictly business
basis. There is little chance for the
forces to get to working at cross pur-
poses. The committeeiwork is rushing
along rapidly and the legislature will
be working over time until the grist
of bills has been ground out.

on Mayor Peavey's suggestion, we
now propose to begin this discussion.

STORMY SESSION
OF CITY COUNCIL
Members Seemed to Have
Their Fighting Clothes on
Scrap Centered Over Leasing
of Washburn Bank
Building.

The meeting of the city council
held on Tuesday evening proved to
be rather a stormy session. The
sccap of the evening centered over
the leasing of the Bank of Washburn
building to the Bayfield, County Bank.
This scrap was started when mo-
tion was made by Alderman Ambly
to hold council meetings in the base
ment of the bank building in the near
future, stating that the basement had
been put in first class shape. Alder
man Martinson wanted to know what
authority the committee had for
making the repairs in the building
while Alderman Bryan stated that
the city council had started suit to
recover possession of the building and
that he preferred waiting until this
suit had been settled. An adjourn
ment of fifteen minute was then
taken to give the council members
opportunity to view the basement and
upon being called to order again a
motion was passed laying the matter
over until the next regular meeting.
1t appears that during the recess
some of the council members had hot
words for after being called to order
again Alderman Martinson took the
floor and stated that he had been
accused of graft by Alderman Ambly
and he asked the Mayor 70 appoint
a committee of three to investigate
the charges. Mr.. Martinson stated
that the charges of graft were in con-
nection with work he had done for
the city on the cemetary building for
which he had received S2 per day.
The Mayor stated that the matter
seemed to be between the two alder
men and no action was taken.
The council authorized the COM
mittee on streets and bridges to start
the work of repairing three hundred
feet of the city dock, it being estim-
ated by Alderman Ambly that the
cost would not exceed $3.50.
Mayor Peavey recommended the
appointment of M. H. Sprague as a
member of the school board and the
recommendation was confirmed.
Bills to the amount of over $1,000
were allowed by the council.
