At every annual meeting of the
county board when the equaliza-
tion is made it has been the
custom to break away from the
figures as submitted by Income
Assessor Landraint and adopt a
new set Of figures. This has been
done during the past two years
and there has been an appeal in
both cases by the towns that
were effected. The towns or
cities that were lowered by the
county boards action have always
gotten the worst of it for the
persons interested in changing
the equalization from Mr.. Land
raint's figures have failed to
make a showing when the hear
ing on the appeal was held with
the result that Mr.. Landraint's S
figures have been sustained and
the expenses of the appeal has
been charged up to the places
that were lowered by the county
board action.
In the past two years the city
of Washburn has been hit and
has had to bear it's burden of the
expense. Unless the county
board members feel that they
can substantiate their figures
with facts at the time of the
appeal it would be better for
them to take Mr.. Landraint's S
figures as a basis of equalization
and thus save this added expense
every year.

Off Again--On Again

1t has been rather amusing to not,
the way the street lighting has beer
handled during the past week. Ont
night it would be dark and the follow.
ing night the streets would be light
ed. The cause of this uncertainty il
the lighting service has been caused
by an order from Mayor Bryan tt
Chief of Police Chauvin to discontinue
the street lighting. Policeman
Chauvin has attempted to carry oul
the Mayors order by refusing to
turn on the lights. But it was here
that Alderman Thoreson, chairman
of the lighting committee, took 9
hand and since then the lighting SER
vice has been continued.
AS we understand it Mayor Bryan
had been informed by former alder
man and former mayor that it was
within his power to discontinue the
| lighting service at will without action
| by the council and this he has at
tempted to do.
Some few years ago there was some
kick made because the street lights
were left burning on moonlight nights
and at that time the council gave the
Mayor power to regulate the time
the lights should burn but it was
never contemplated that the Mayor
should have the power to put the
city in total darkness at any time he
should see fit.
With the walks in the condition
that they are now in some portions OF
the city it is economy to keep the
lights burning on dark nights for by
doing so accidents are undoubtedly
avoided which might cost the city a
large sum of money in damage suits.
The cost of the street lighting at the
present time is not so high that the
city can effect any great saving by
turning out the lights. For the
month of June the lights cost the
city total of $22.75. 1t looks like
short-sighted policy to turn the
lights off to effect this saving and
perhaps cost the city thousand or
more in damage suits.
At special meeting of the coun-
Gil last evening it was unanimously
voted to continue the lighting service.
The meeting was called by Mayor
Bryan to determine what action the
council wanted to take.

feel that his political experience

he is not the man needed at this

Nomination Papers Placed in
Circulation
Will Seek Nomination on the
Republican Ticket. De-
serving of Support.

L. N. Clausen of this city, who
served as assemblyman from the
assembly district comprising the
counties of Bayfield,, Washburn
and Sawyer during the years
1905 to 1908, has decided to make
the race for the republican NOM
ination for assemblyman from
the Bayfield, county district and
nomination papers were placed
in circulation throughout the
county yesterday.
For some time Mr.. Clausen has
been urged by his friends to
make the race but it was not un-
til yesterday that he made up
his mind to run. 1t is expected
that he will have the united sup
port of the republicans of the
GUILTY.
During the two years Mr..
Clausen served as assemblyman
in the legislature his record was
such that he is entitled to the
nomination at the September
primaries. Mr.. Clausen is a
republican of the progressive
type and thoroughly in harmony
with the progressive movement
in Wisconsin. He is representa-
tive of the people and would
make an excellent representative
to send to the assembly.

KANSAS MEN WILL PUR-
CHASE LAND FOR RANCH
Will Establish One of the Largest Cattle
Ranches in the State. Will Stock Farm
With 5000 Head of Cattle.

When the transfer of the land
is made five thousand or more
head of cattle will be shipped
there from st. Paul to be fattened
for the market. This will make
it one of the largest cattle ranch
es in the state. The visit of these
men to this section of Northern
Wisconsin is important, in that
if they are successful, it will be
the means of attracting others
interested in cattle raising to
Northern Wisconsin.

Before the Tax Commission
Here Monday
Cities Of Washburn and Bay
field and Town of Bayfield,
Not Represented.

Thos. G.Lyons of the Wisconsin
Tax Commission conducted a
hearing in this city on Monday
sf tlss week on the appeal of the
towns Of Barksdale, Lincoln and
Pilsen from the equalization as
made by the County Board of
Bayfield, county at the November
meeting.
The equalization committee of
the county board had raised the
figures of these towns above
those placed by Income Assessor
William Landraint and had low
cred the equalization of the city
of Washburn, city of Bayfield,
and town of Bayfield,.
At the hearing the towns were
represented by Attorney Shea of
Ashland and by the chairmen of
l.
each of the towns and a number
| of witnesses. Although the
cities of Washburn and Bayfield,
and the town of Bayfield, were
vitality interested in the meeting,
yet through some oversight the
towns were not represented at
the hearing and the Tax Com
missioner, after hearing the
evidence of the towns making
the appeal, adjourned the hear
ing.
At the May meeting of the
City Council Alderman Peavey
was instructed to confere with
officers of the city of Bayfield,
and town of Bayfield, relative to
the appeal and he afterward in
formed the Council that Attor-
ney Fisher of Bayfield, had been
engaged jointly by the three
places to look after their inter
ests at the hearing. Why this
gentleman did not appear at the
Injecting has not been learned.
| AS a result Of no one appearing
to protest against the appeal it is
likely that the figures of Income
Assessor William Landraint will
be made the basis for the equal
lization.
The Tax Commission has how
lever consented to hold their
decision in allegiance until the
county board committee and
attorneys can meet. The meet
ling will be held here tomorrow.
1t is contemplated to put engi-
neers to work on the dynamite
plant for the purpose of making
an appraisal for assessment pur-
poses. II it is found that the
dynamite plant is under assessed
the evidence will be presented tc
the Tax Commission. If not the
| matter will he dronnad and the
figures of Income Assessor Land
raint will undoubtedly be re-
lstored.
