The Snow Storm

This section was visited by
one of the worst snow storms of
the year last Saturday and for
nearly a day train service on the
lines running into the city was
completely demoralized, The
wind blew a gale during the en-
tire day and snow was piled up
everywhere.
Aside from business people,
very few persons ventured out
into the storm. Sunday turned
out bright and clear again.

To Bring Action for Alleg~
ed False Imprisonment
Action, Runkle Says, will be
Tried at Spring Term
of Court

b. F. Runkle of this city, who
gained state wide reputation last
year when he was arrested at Eau
Claire on criminal warrant sworr
out by c. F. Wiehe, secretary of the
Edward Hines Lumber company
charging him criminal lible and at
tempted blackmail, is now to start
another action against the Hines COM
pany, this time for alleged false inn
prisonment.
Mr.. Runkle was arrested at Eau
Claire charged with libel and at
tempted blackmail. The charge was
based on letter written by Runkle
to the Lumberman's Lloyd Insurance
company at Eau Claire in which he
stated that the Hines company had
fired their saw mill at Washburn,
which was destroyed by fire, for the
purpose of collecting the insurance
thereon.
Mr.. Runkle was lodged in the
county Jail at EauClaire after which
he was released on bail and at the
trial he was acquitted of the charge.
Following the trial Mr.. Runkle in
timated that he would start an action
against the Lumber company charg-
ing false imprisonment but he says
that he has been delaying his case a.
gainst the company until certain evid-
ence could be gathered and which he
has now obtained. He now states
that the case will be brought for
trial at the spring term of the circuit
court for Bayfield, county.

According to the Ashland Press
of Tuesday there is is shortage of
hard coal on the Ashland docks.
There is plenty of egg and stove
coal but the smaller size is now ex-
hausted. For furnaces the larger
sizes Can be used but with MANY OF
the self feeder stoves there is some
difficulty in burning the large size
coal.
When the price of coal was boosted
20 cents ton by the coal companies
at Ashland at the beginning of the
winter the officials stated that they
always protected Ashland people in
the way of coal and the Ashland
people are now complaining because
the companies have disposed of their
coal.

NOTICE To vACATE
THE BANK BN|LD|NG
Has Been Served by Council
on the Bayfield, County
Bank.

A notice to vacate the property
known as the Bank of Washburn
building was served on D. M. Maxcy,
vice-president of the Bayfield, County
Bank, by City Clerk L. N. Clausen
during the past week. The notice
calls for the vacating of the building
within thirty days, the city authorities
claiming a violation of the conditions
of the lease under which the building
was rented to the Bayfield, County
Bank.
Previous to the renting of the
building to the Bayfield, County Bank
there was some feeling that the place
should not be rented by the city but
the council passed a resolution order
ing the leasing of the building.
The terms of the lease provide
that the Bayfield, County Bank is to
furnish man to look after the heat
ing plan but some of the council
members construe this to mean that
the bank shall furnish the janitor SER
vice for the building. This is where
the violation of the lease is claimed
and at the last meeting of the council
a motion was passed authorizing the
city attorney to begin proceedings to
recover possession of the building.
Mr.. Maxcy says that the conditions
of the lease have been lived up to
and it is not likely that he will COM
ply with the order to vacate, in
which event the matter will likely be
carried into the courts to be decided.

ANNUAL MEETING
OF STOCKHOLDERS
To be Held in This City
on March 9th
Farmers and Fruit Growers
Association to 90 Over
Years Business.

The annual meeting of the stock
holders of the Bayfield, County Farm
ers and Fruit Growers Association
will be held at the Commercial Club
rooms in this city on Saturday after
noon, March Sth, notices to that effect
having already been mailed to the
members of the association.
This meeting gives promise of
being an interesting one for the
stockholders of the association as a
review of the business done during
the year will be gone over and the
members will then know the standing
of their association which has been
doing business for only a short time
but which is expected to take an i'm
portant place in the commercial
activity of the city and the surround
ing country.
Besides the different reports there
will also be an election of three dir
ectors to take the place of three
whose terms of Office expire. The
outgoing directors are 7. A. Oscar,
III. HI. Peavey and Mike Thoreson.
The present officers and directors
of the new association have devoted
much time and effort in giving the
association the right kind of start
and undoubtedly many of the present
officers and directors will be con-
tinued in Office for another year.
For the past month or SO the associ-
alton has been doing business at their
new warehouse and the business has
been steadily growing. Crops have
not as yet been moved to any extent
but with the opening up of spring
there will be large number of po-
tatoes shipped from this point. Dur
ing the summer season the berry
season will come on and the farmers
warehouse will become one of the
busiest places in the city.
The main thing toward the success
of this farmers institution is cooper
alton. the members sticking to the
association despite any feeling that
might arise. This is especially true
in the marketing of the crops of the
farm and orchard. Farmers should
endeavor to bring all of their crops to
the warehouse and use the place as a
clearing house where they will re-
ceive money in exchange for their
produce.
This institution can be made the
success planned for it by hearty CO.
operation of the farmers and the
fruit growers with the people of the
CITY.

BIG LUMBER DEAL
HAS GONE THROUGH
Iron River Paper States That
Hines Has Purchased
More Timber.

That the Edward Hines Lumber
Company today closed the deal for
the purchase of the immense trac
of timber of the Atwood Lum Der
Company. of Park Falls, is rumor
which is in circulation in this city
this afternoon, and while the Pho
neer has been unable to confirm the
report at the time of going to press
we can assure our readers that the
report is based upon facts.
The timber embraced in this
tract is located in Ashland, Sawyer,
Rusk and Price counties. aud con-
sists of more than a. hundred thou
sand acres OF mixed timber, ;nclue-
ing hardwoods and pine.
The deal has been pending for
some time and several reports have
been sent out from time to time
that the deal had been closed but
all of these reports have been pre-
mature and unfounded.
Just what effect this purchase
may have on the mills of the Hines
Company in this city and Mason is
not known, but it NAV be found
practicable to supply these mills
from that tract. The Hayward
mill is sure to be supplied and the
ccnsummation of the deal will be
hailed with delight by the Hayward
people. Iron River Pioneer

Will be Held in this City
on Tuesday, March 4th.
Road Matters and Other
Business will be Taken
Up at Meeting.

A call for special meeting of the
county board of Bayfield, county has
been issued for Tuesday, March 4th.
1t is understood that the purpose of
this meeting is to discuss road mat
tiers principally, and to take up other
matters that may come up before the
meeting.
The long bridge matter, over
which there has been so much dis
cussion between the authorities of the
town of Barksdale and the county
board, is scheduled to be the inn
portant question before the board.
The Barksdale people are endea-
voring to force the county board to
maintain the bridge route around the
head of the bay and they are being
backed by the members of the State
Highway Commission who have re-
fused to .allow the county board to
abandon the route. At the annual
meeting of the board held last fall
the Barksdale people presented
resolution asking that the county
board appropriate IS, 900 with which
to construct their share of the bridge,
the Barksdale having already voted
like amount. After consid erable
discussion the county board adopted
a motion placing the matter in the
hands of committee for thorough
investigation and it is expected that
this committee will file their report
at this meeting. In the event that
the committee recommends that the
bridge be not built their recommend
alton will undoubtedly be adopted by
the board and a good sized scrap will
issue between the county and town
authorities and Barksdale people have
threatened to carry the matter into
the courts if necessary to gain their
desired end.
At this meeting it is likely that
the board will appoint county road
commissioner Ito take the place of
Eben Olson who resigned his position
on January 1st. There are several
candidates in the field for this place,
namely John Sundell of Eileen, Mike
Larson of this city, L. P. Anderson
of Pratt, A. G. Nelson of Orienta,
and Marion Juel of Co rnucopia. A.
P. Stone of the town of Washburn is
also spoken Iof as a possible candi
date.
Other matters may come before
the board at this special meeting
but the above is about the only busi-
ness that is scheduled to come up.

The Bessemer hall was cold, small
and crowded. Our people couldn't t
seem tc get started. We were
beaten fairly and squarely and have
no complaints to make. The boys
game was very rough. After the
game we were taken to the High
School building where we were Civ
en- four course dinner. The affair
was in charge of the Domestic
Science classes and Was very well
gotten up. In fact the Bessemer
folks treated us so well that some
fast friendships seem to have been
formed Nearly all of each team
followed US TO Iron wood aud rooted
for us as heartily as our own crowd
could have.
At Iron wood the girls teams were
more even, but our girls we're tired
and did not play as we'll as the night
before. We think we can beat them
here. Let US hope so.
The Washburn boys were wide "a
wake aud -eady to 20 the limit to
make up for the beating they had
reed at Bessemer. We got the
Jump on Ironwood and while the 1st
half ended IL to IL it was in our
favor. The feature of the game was
the guarding Of Anderson and the
free throwing of Shaw and Caruth-
ers. This game was a real basket
ball game free from rou ghness and
bad spirit. Our boys won on their
ability to work the floor, pass the
ball accurately and their quick runn-
ing shots.

fully since the people here saw us

THE FERRY ROAD

The council has taken steps to secure
an incineratof site. The matter should
be fastened /; for as was reported from
number of sources last week the road
leading to the landing of the Under
wood ferry has been badly mussed by
debris and garbage. Citizens of the
Underwood community are frequent
visitors in our town. They come here
to shop at the stores of the local mer-
chants and to make social calls among
our own residents. If for no other
reason, we owe IL to them to have the
way across the sands from the ferry to
the city as convenient as possible
because of our commercial relations.
They are assisting us in building UP
our town by their trade. We should
make efforts to draw them here instead
of making the journey one over ash
cans and decaying garbage.
However, we feel sure that the
council will take care of this. But
while the matter is in mind we take
the opportunity to remind the council
men again of the permanent high
water site for wharf, not only for
the ferry boats, but for the river
steamers. Now while time for the
consideration of the latter hangs
lightly, why not push the matter of
securing permanent high water dock
to completion. All have admitted that
the wharf is needed. Then why not
secure it?
