Pioneers Outline Plan for
Annual Banquet
At a Meeting Held at Com
mercial Club Rooms
Monday.

A meeting of the Pioneer Associa-
ton of Washburn was held at the
Commercial Club ON Monday evening
of this week at which final arrange
ments for the annual banquet of the
association were completed. 1t is
the plan to make it one of the biggest
events in the history of the city and
every member of the association will
put their shoulder to the wheel to
carry out this plan.
1t was decided that the committee
in charge of affairs should carry out
their original plans and this means
that the banquet will be held in the
large dining room at the Hotel
Washburn. The arrangements for
the banquet will all be made by the
committees, the hotel management
having nothing to do with it except
to furnish the rooms in which it will
be served. The banquet will be
held at seven o'clock in the evening
of January 18th and it is expected
that fully one hundred and fifty
members will be in attendance.
Following the banquet there will be
short program of music and other
numbers and then the crowd will
adjourn to the Opera House where a
grand old dance will be held.
1t was voted at the Monday meet
ing TO make this event ore for the
old settlers only and accordingly
tickets will be sold to only members
of the association. There are MANY
other people who would enjoy taking
in this event even though two prices
were charged but the old settlers
feel that the hall would be so crowd
ed that the older members could not
enjoy themselves as they would like
to and for this reason it will be
membership affair.
At che former banquets held by
this association a grand old time has
been had and the one to be given
this year is expected to cap the
climax. Tickets for members have
been placed at $1.oo per plate which
includes the banquet and dance.

HOPS WILL GROW
ABUNDAN HERE
7. N. Okerstrom of Port
Wing Experiments
Tests Out a Half Acre Crop
and Can Sell All he Can
Raise.

I. N. Okerstrom, former town
chairman of the town of Port Wing
and one of the influential citizens of
the little city on the south shore of
Lake Superior in Bayfield, county was
in the city this week looking after
matters of business and while here
told of some experiments which he
has been carrying on during the past
year with relation to growing hops.
A year or SO ago while looking
over timber in the woods near Port
Wing Mr.. Okerstrom discovered some
wild vines in the woods which excited
his, curiosity and he took a few vines
home with him for the purpose of
learning what they were. He was
informed by some of his neighbors
that the vines were wild hops but
not being satisfied he sent them to
the University of Wisconsin for the
purpose of getting an expert report
on the same. The University experts
informed Mr.. Okerstrom that they
were wild hops and also informed
him that where wild hops would
grow that the soil would be suitable
for the growing of tame hops.
For year or more Mr.. Okerstrom
pondered over the question and final
ly decided to give the tame hops a
/ trra,. HeIcarned of place in New
York state where he could obtain hop
roots and he sent for enough to set
out about half an acre. When the
hop roots arrived at Port Wing they
were in poor condition owing to the
long distance in which they were
shipped and about halt of the lot had
to be thrown away. Part of the re-
mainder was given away to neighbors
and the balance Mr.. Okerstrom
planted on his own land. The hops
took root Immediately and began to
show a wonderful growth. During
the hot month of July last season
Mr.. Okerstrom says the vines would
grow as much as eight inches in
twenty-four hours and that some of
the vines obtained a growth of forty
feet during the season.
The venture being a new one to
Mr.. Okerstrom, he hardly knew
what to do with his immense crop.
He provided poles on which the
vines could climb but the harvesting
of the crop was what seemed to
puzzle him. Finally during the
