City Council Applys for
State Aid on Road Building
Vote $4,000 for Street I'm
provements. State Donates
Like Amount.

A special meeting of the city coun-
Gil was held at the Commercial Club
rooms in this city ON Saturday even
ing of last week for the purpose ol
discussing the new law under which
cities of the fourth class with a popu-
lation of less than five thousand peo-
pie may vote state aid on city streets
which are used as connecting link
between two roads on the county
system of highways.
After considerable discussion oi
the law and the ways under which
city councils may vote money the
council voted the sum of $500 to be
expended on Bayfield, street of the
city of Washburn during the year
1914. This amount will be expended
on permanent improvements and the
state will donate like amount SO
that $500 will be available for inn
proving Bayfield, street next season.
Right at this time we would suggest
that the city council should begin the
work of constructing a macadam
street with this money. Only small
part of the street could be improved
with the money set aside for this
work next season but than good
start could be made and from year to
year the work could be extended and
within few years the entire length
of Bayfield, street would be macadam-
lied. The city of .Washbnrn has
been improving dirt roads in the city
long enough and it is time that some
other kind of road was started. II
the start is only made the work will
be pushed as fast as money becomes
available.

SALES INDICATE
Big FARM GROWTH
Much Farm Machinery Sold
Here This Season
Two Threshing Outfits, Three
Binders and Many Mowers
Sold.

There is perhaps no other med
ium that gauges the extent to which
a country is Developing as well as the
sale of farm machinery, and if this
is any basis to go by then the district
sunounding the city of Washburn
has been making great gains during
the past year.
A call was made on the local inn
plement dealers during the past
week for the purpose of ascertaining
the extent of the sales during the
past season. The implement dealers
both report buay season in
this line and the total sales reported
show that 19 mowers, three binders,
and two threshing outfits have gone
unto the farms in this immediate
locality during the past six weeks
In addition to this there has been
many hay rakes, hay forks, and
other farm machinery sold.
One of the threshing outfi Is sold
was a steam machine and this went
to Ekholm and Urbon, two pro-
gressive farmers of the town of
Washburn. The other machine was
a gasoline outfit and this went to
Mr.. Carl Hirsch, who is also one of
the substantial farmers of the town
of Washburn.
The threshing outfits and binders
will be used in harvesting the grain
crop from this locality this season.
This makes four threshing machines,
besides a number of binders in this
locality and if the country around
Washburn keeps on developing the
way it has the past season there will
be need of more machines of the
kind before another year.

Between seven and eight hundred
people from this city went to Bayfield,

THE WATER WORKS SYSTEM.

The water mains have now all been
laid down Main street as far as the
corner of Second, and the hydrants
connected. Thursday the fire engine
was brought out and it was tested
down as far as Fourth street. Only
one or two weak connections were
found. These were repaired and the
work of re-tilling the trenches was
commenced. Tuesday the engine was
brought out again and the remainder
of the pipes were tested and all was
found to be in ship shape. The work
of laying the mains down Third and
Fourth streets has been commenced
and is progressing nicely.
The well has been sunk to depth
of about twenty-four feet where rock
has been encountered. A very good
flow of water has been obtained and
it is thought that when the required
depth has been attained that ample
water will be found. The water in
this well, which was tested at the
university some time ago, was pro-
nounced first class. With good
weather conditions the work ought
to be completed within another thirty
days Mosinee Times.

Last Friday afternoon Wausau and
vicinity was visited by a very heavy
rain and electric storm. Shortly after
two o'clock it became so dark that
lights had to be turned on all over the
city and our people became frightened,
fearing that a cyclone was about to
swoop down upon us. While the wind
blew gale and the rain came down
in torrents and there was for time
continuous flashes Of lightning, moth
ing vas disturbed but TO brighten the
timid ones. At Merrill the lightning
struck and caused several fires. The
sky was heavily clouded all the after
noon. In the lower part Of the state
the storm was in the nature Of cy-
