Were Voted Out of Busi-
ness Last Spring
Some Saloon Men Will En-
gage in Other Lines While
Others Will Move Away.


On Tuesday evening at twelve
o'clock the fourteen saloons in WASH
burn closed their doors. The licenses
expired at this time. The saloons
were voted out at the election held
last spring in one of the most spirited
battles ever held in the city.
Some of the men who have been
engaged in the saloon business will
turn their attention to other lines
and will remain in the city while
others will move to other cities where
they will continue in the same line OF
business.
For more than twenty-five years
the city of Washburn has been licens-
ing saloons but the changing from q
wet to dry town was taken as 8
matter of course by the citizens of the
city and there is feeling that it viii

munity and there is not likelihood

Heavy Damage by Storm

The northeast storm OF last
Friday night and Saturday was
one Of the worst that has swept
Lake Superior in years and a
large amount of damage was
done.
: At Duluth and Superior sever
al boats we're driven on shore.
In this city the damage to boat
houses located along the shore
was heavy. The breakers rolled
against the houses, breaking
many of them down and damag-
ing a number of the boats in
them. The Beers yacht was
pulled out of the house before
much damage was done.
The bay was so rough that the
Mary Scott did not make any
trips from Saturday morning
until Sunday morning.

|. A. Herrick of Amigo
Here Monday
Interesting the People of
County in Organization of
immigration Society.

/. A. Herrick of Amigo, secretary
of the Commercial Club of that city
and a booster for the North Wisconsin
Development association was in the
city Monday evening and gave talk
to a gathering of business men at the
Commercial Club in this city.
The purpose OF Mr.. Herrick's visit
was to interest the people of Bayfield,
county in the organization of county
immigration Bureau to work in con-
junction with the development
association. He also plans to re-or-
ganize the Commercial Clubs of the
counties in northern Wisconsin so
that they will be of more interest to
the COMMITTEES of this, great north
land empire.
Mr.. Herrick outlined his plan
Monday evening and from time to
time will send literature showing
what is being done at Amigo and at
some future date the immigration
Bureau may be formed.
On the 18th Of July another meet
ing will be held at which we hope to
have present with us the Hon. B. G..
Packer, State Commissioner of I'm
migration of Madison, w. H. Webb OF
Superior, the president of the North
ern Wisconsin Development Asso-
ciation, and some others, to continue
the discussion of ways and means for
promoting the resources of onr own
city and developing and expanding
the resources of our own county. II
is hoped that Mr.. Herrick will be
present again and he has partly
promised to do so if the Board o.
Directors will permit him to come al
that time.

Mrs. Hull and Mrs. Everts
Thrown from Wagon
Both Sustain Severe Bruises
and a Bad Shaking Up
Monday Afternoon.

What came near being very +
serious runaway accident happened
Monday afternoon at four o'clock
when the Olson ponies ran away,
throwing Mr.. and Mrs. Ed. 3Everts
and child and Mrs. M. S. Hull out
of the wagon, severely injuring the
two women. Mrs. Everts had her
collar bone broken, besides being
badly bruised up, and Mrs. Hull
being so badly bruised that she will
be confined to her bed for week or
more.
The Everts were here from Seattle,
Washington, on visit to old friends.
The party had been to the Olson
cottage on the lake shore for visit
and had returned to this city. AS
they intended to visit parties in the
lower end of town they were offered
the use of the Olson team and wagon
to make the trip. Down near fifth
avenue the wheel on the front part
of the buggy came off and this
frightened the ponies and they
started off down the street. Mr..
Everts was driving but could not con-
troll the ponies and they turned down
fifth avenue toward the mill docks.
Mrs. Hull was holding the Everts
child, who is four years of age, and as
the horses turned the corner she
dropped her to the ground. Shortly
after turning the corner the rest OF
the occupants were thrown from the
buggy. Both ladies were badly
bruised up while Mr.. Everts and
child escaped injury.
! Friends gathered the two ladies
into automobiles and took them to
their homes. Mrs. Evercts is now
at Ashland recovering her injuries
while Mrs. Hull is confined to her
bed at her home in this city.

State Highway Com mission has
gotten Bayfield, county and the
town of Barksdale into a bad
mess in the building of the
county highway across the Fish
Creek slough at the head of the
bay. The taxpayers are begin
ming to wonder how much longer
The Board of Supervisors OF
Bayfield, county and the town Of
Barksdale will stand for their
money being sunk into this
bridge, which to the observer,
looks as if it would be failure
in the end unless large sums of
money are expended.
Long years ago bridge was
constructed over the Fish Greek
slough. This was a wooden
affair and was over half mile
in length. Altogether nearly
forty thousand dollars was ex
pended on this wooden struc-
ture and the county Board of
Bayti field Co. tired of expending
more money on it and it was
abandoned and the road known
as the swamp route was adopt
ed as part of the county
system Of highways. This read
was nearly mile longer from
Mash to Ashland than the old
bridge route and the little band
of farmers at Nash protested
against the action of the county
| in taking from them the bridge
route and they appealed to the
State Highway Commission
The Nash farmers were backed
by the citizens OF the city oil
Ashland who had no interest
in the matter other than getting
the farmers of this section tc
do their trading in Ashland.
| They sci up an awful howl about
the extra distance the "Swam +
route" would mean to the farm
ers os the Nash district and
!, bieir appeal seemed to have 9
good deal of weight with the
Highway Commission for they
decided in favor of the bridge
route.
After a fight of nearly five
years the Bayfield, County Boart
finally gave in to the little bano
of farmers and the bridge route
was again adopted as a part o
the county system of Highways
L
and the contract to put the roat
in shape was let.
1t has been the opinion of th'
Highway Engineers of the High
way Commission up to this tim'
that the bridge route could b'
built for the sum of abou
thirteen thousand dollars ant
this did not look so bad to tn,
! mem bers of the Bayfield, count.
Board but now that they hav
gotten into the work it oegin
to look as if forty THOUSAND
] dollars would be nearer tn
correct figure and maybe evel
that sum will not be sufficient.
The contract for the bridg
was let to the Hennepin Bridg
company of Minneapolis an,
this has been constructed an
lis a fine one. The cost wa
|S5.9OO.OO. A contract for
smaller bridge was also let t
the same company and tn
contract for the filing of tn
lapproaches was let to Eben Olso

A Sink Hole for Public Funds
$7,00O.Oo.

~ .UUU.UU.
In all contracts for about
fifteen thousand dollars have
already been let and the bridge
committee of the county board
is now advertising for bids
for the rip-rapping of the fill
with stone which will run into a
few more thousand dollars.
From time to time reports
have been floating about the
county to the effect that the
bridge route was proving to be
sink hole for public funds and
on Friday of last week a deleg-
alton of nearly one hundred
representative business men
and taxpayers made the trip to
the head of the bay to inspect
the work. To say that they
we're completely surprised that
any attempt should be made to
build bridge across this slough
is putting it mildly. They
secuted the idea as the most
unreasonable thing they had
ever seen done.
The sight Of this route is
along the lake shore and the
distance across the slough
where the bridge and fill is to
be made is some 1000 feet in
length. The road is at ali time
exposed to the waves from
Chequamegon Bay and none of
the party inspecting the bridge
Friday to could see how it would
be possible to build a route at
this point, in the manner in
| which it is being built. All
agreed that if a break water was
built the bridge might stand
bnt without protection they
could not see how it would be
possible to build a road unless
large sums OF money were
Expended. All agreed that it
was the utmost foolishness to
continue to exl@iId more money
On this hfgasvs5,
! Following the visit of the
delegation Of business men and
taxpayers on Friday, Lake Sup
erior kicked up storm which
did considerable damage to the
work already done. At different
times during the past three
months Contractor Eben Olson
has had his work swept away
by the elements and the time
for completing the work has
already been passed and an ex
tention of thirty days was grant
ed by the committee. This
time will again be up on July
18th and it is not likely that the
| work will be completed at that
time.
There is now in circulation
} a call for a special meeting o.
the county board to be helo
sometime during the month o.
July at which this question O.
vital interest to every taxpayer
) of the county will again bt
threshed out. Mem bers Of the
county board who have looked
} over this work are instrumental
} in starting the call.
1t behoves all taxpayers t.
| acquaint themselves with th'
J actual conditions of this piece O
/ road work and to be present a
} the meeting of the board to Sc
, up protest against furthe
? expenditure Of money.
There are altogether too man.
pieces of road in Bayfield, count.

that need work and the money
that is being put into this 1000
feet of road at the head of the
bay would go a long way toward
putting in first class shape miles
OF road and have money enough
left to give the farmers in the
town of Barksdale an elegant
road to Ashland.

The soldiers were leaning out OF the

CARE OF CARPET SWEEPER
Proper Handling VIII Greatly Prolong
Its Life and Keep It Always
Ready for Immediate Use.

AS the carpet sweeper is such an
important item in my domestic work,
l am very careful about 1t, writes a
correspondent of the Philadelphia
Ledger. After each sweeping take 1t
to the back porch, dump 1t on news
paper and turn the broom, brush side
up, fiat on the floor. l have an old
whisk broom cut straight across SO
that the bristles are very stiff. With
this broom l sweep the brush of the
sweeper backward and forward. AS
the bristles are put into the rod In a
curved line, the brush slowly revolves
as the broom is applied. I sometimes
dip the brush in kerosene, which also
removes some of the dust from the
bristles and keeps them in good condi-
ton. I oil bearings of my sweeper
frequently, and If there are any
threads or hair at either end, l do not
tear it away, but cut with scissors.
Sometimes / use an old comb to comb
the bristles before putting the sweeper
away This Seems good deal OF
care, but I find that 1t pays, and that
perfectly working sweeper is my
best friend.
