Fourteen in Class

Last week we published a list
of the mem bers of the mid
winter graduating class of the
Washburn High School as given
us by one of the teachers in the
school. The list appears to have
been incorrect for there are
fourteen memb bers in the class
instead of nine. The following
compose the class: Thomas
Sheridan, Levi Anderson, Ralph
Warden, Esther Berge, Andrew
Johnson, Horace Frost, Ruth
Wieman, Alma Nelson, Lula
Thompson, Louise Myhre, Ar
thur Peterson, Alfred Olson.
Myrtle Smith and Mae Love.
Some of the pupils have COM
pleted their work and have left
school, others remain to take up
review and advance work and
some arranged their work at the
beginning of the school year to
extend over the entire year.
The graduation exercises of
this class will be held at the end
of the school year at the same
time the other class exercises
are held.

Washburn High Wins one
and Loses Other
Large Au Hence Witnesses
Two Exceedingly In
teresting Contests

Over two hundred people were
present at the Washburn Opera
House last Friday evening to wit
ness the basket ball games played by
the Washburn and Bessemer, Mich.
high school teams. Both contests were
exceedingly interesting, one game
being won by the Bessemer girls and
the other by the Washburn boys.
The first game played was between
the girls team and was an interest
contest. The local girls put up a
good contest but seemed unable to
shoot" baskets when there was an
opportunity and the game ended with
the score 10 to in favor of Besse-
mer.
The second game was between
the boys team and was an interesting
contest. The locals showed great
team work whenever they got the
ball while their defensive work was
excellent. The contest ended with
the score % to 7 in favor of WASH
burn.
Both games were decidedly clean
and lacked any rough work whatever.
The public generally was satisfied
with the contest and the attendance
at any games to be played in the flu
ture will be assured.

was a most successful affair and more
of them should lbe held in the future
The interests of the farmer and city
people are identical for what helps
one also helps the other and both
should endeavor to work in harmony.
The representation of farmers at
this meeting was one of the encourag-
ing things, over one hundred being
present at the meeting, and all
seemed to enjoy the event very
much. At times during the day over
three hundred persons were present
at the warehouse but many did not
remain for the dinner, being unable
to wait to be served.

Meetings Ever Held Here
Two Hundred and Sixteen
Served at Dinner held at
New Warehouse.

The Farmers Dinner and program
held at the new warehouse of the
Bayfield, County Farmers and Fruit
Growers Association in this city un-
der the auspices of the Washburn
Horticultural society and the Wash

ness meu and was a most successful
event. The program of the r.day be-
gan in the morning with an address
on dairying by E. j. Delwiche of the
Extension Division of the University
of Wisconsin. Mr.. Delwiche urged
the farmers to get rid of their scrub
stock and to replace them with pure
bred animals, saying it was the only
salvation for the farmer who intended
to make profit from his cows. Mr..
Delwiche demonstrated, in his address
the uselessness of keeping cow that
was not more than paying for her
feed when a good cow could be made
to bring good returns to the farmer.
The address was very interesting
throughout and contained much valu-
able information for the farmer ot
Northern Wisconsin.
Attorney John Walsh, president of
the Horticultural society, presided at
the meetiag and Delivered short
address following Mr.. Delwiche.

musical selections were greatly en-
joyed.

an address by w. T. Coe of Fort At
kinson on Horticulture. Mr.. Coe
gave his listeners much valuable in
formation on the subject of horticul-
ture, answering all questions put to
him. Mr.. Coe is an experienced
fruit grower, being owner of la large
fruit farm at Sturgeon Bay.
Following the address those pres
ent spent some time in visiting ano
getting acquainted.

Peavey Secures Train

Through the efforts of Assembly
man FL. H. Peavey people coming to
this city will not be compelled to go
into Ashland and wait until the fol-
lowing morning to come to this city,
in case the night train is late on the
main line. MIR. Peavey took this
matter up with the Railway Commits
sion with the result that a special
train will snow be run in case the
night train is late. Mr.. Peavey in
his letter, says that any matter in
which the people of this section are
interested he will be glad to assist
them to the best of his ability. We
publish herewith copy of the letter
from the Omaha to the Railway COM
mission relative to the train service.
January IA, 1918.

HI. H. Peavey, of Washburn, based
on the failure of train No. 100 on
the Bayfield, line to connect with the
main line train. will say that the
General Manager of this Comp any
has arranged to run special train
between Ashland Junction and Bay
field to take care of the passengers
for points on the Bayfield, line when
the main line train,,is so far behind time
that the regular Bayfield, train, un-
der the Hours of Service law, can
not be held at Ashland JunctioE to
make the connection. This arrange
ment | think will satisfy the COM
plant, and give proper accomoda tions
to the public.
Yours truly,
j. B Sheean,

A Sunny Smile

The following little verse of
poetry, the author of which is un-
known to us, is so good that we
publish it herewith:
A little thing, sunny smile.
A loving word at morn,
And all day long the sun shone
bright,
The cares of life were made a Or,
light
And sweetest hopes were born.
A little thing, hasty word,
A crael frown at morn,
And aching hearts went on their way
| And toiled throughout dreary day,
Disheartened, sad and orn.

the week from Stougnton where he
attended the monthly meeting OF

POSSIBILITIES OF
GAME PROPAGATION
ARE DEMONSTRATED

West Haven, Oct. 3-The possibili-
ties of game propagation on private
estates and in public observation has
been demonstrated, this summer I'M
der the direction of p. K. Job, the
state ornithologfst, and the results are
declared to be very satisfactory. The
estate of William Rockefeller, at
Tarrytown, N. Y. was used as. a 1o-
cality for experiment. A man secured
by Mr.. Job was engaged to look af-
ter the rearing of a number of species
of well known game birds. Mr.. Job
outlined the general plan, basing. his
suggestions upon experience in quail
breeding at Storrs and his knowledge
of bird life gained through expert
ments with incubators in Matching
eggs of wild fowl in the Manitoba
wilds.
An attempt was made to raise a
large numbers of particular species
but various species were experin ented
with the aim being to plan a system
which would be applicable to large
estates. About 200 young bob-white
quail were reared to maturity with
trifling losses and no outbreak of any
disease. The pheasant rearing was
successful. A few broods of Hungar-
ian partridge were raised and of the
tinnamou, a curious, game bird; also
wood duck and other water fowl, in
Guiding a flock of guinea fowl. Under
Mr.. Jobs system, the young were
Matched from eggs placed under ban
tans and the broods allowed free
range by day but were shut up at
night. These broods were scattered
over the great estate and the young
broods with their foster mothers were
an attractive summer feature on the
lawn. Trapping and other destruc-
ton of verInin were carried on at the
same time.
Small birds were attracted to the
grounds in the hope of their estab-
fishing permanent nesting places.

Canadian competition in water trans
portation was sounded by John A.
Bensel, state engineer and surveyor,
in an address to the chamber of com
merce here last night Canada, he
says, is spending many millions on its
waterways.
IF Buffalo is to retain her position
as a great transportation point" said
Mr.. Bensel, her people must never
lose interest in the state waterways.
Future competition with Canada wa
terways must not be overlooked"
Mr.. Bense1 predicted that within two
years boats drawing II feet of water
will be able to go from Buffalo to New
York and Oneida Lake is practically
completed and work on the remaining
sections is progressing rapidly.
