Of the County Board of
Bayfield, County
Purpose of the Meeting is to
Take up the Long Bridge
Question.

A call is in circulation among the
members of the County Board of
Supervisors of Bayfield, county asking
that special meeting be called to
look into the matter of the long
bridge" being built across the slough
at the head of the bay.
In another part of this paper we pub
lish letter from Chairman G.. Ii.
Werden of the Board asking that the
meeting be not called. Some very
good points are brought out by Mr..
Werden, among other things being
the amount of money that has been
spent on this piece of work which he
says is nearing completion, and the
cost of the meeting to Bayfield,
county.
1t seems to be the opinion of Nh.
Werden that this work will not cost
the amount to complete that individ-
uals think it will and we hope that
gentleman is right in his opinion.
1t was our belief and the belief of
about hundred other citizens who
have viewed the work that it would
cost large sum of money to put this
work through and then it would not
be substantial. However the board
members should give this matter a
good deal of thought and study be-
fore acting on the proposition. II
the work can be completed and a
substantial road built for a little
more than the contract price then
the work should be completed but if
the road is going to prove sink-hole
for public funds as many believe it
will be, then the work should be
abandoned before more money is
wasted.
The bridge question is ore that is
deserving of the best thought and
study by the members of the county
board and this should be given it be-
fore action is taken.

Bringing 81, Per Crate and
Better
Crop is Not as Heavy as Last
Year But High Prices
Will Even Up.

The strawberry season is on in full
blast in the district surrounding the
city and hundreds of crates are being
shipped out each day by the Bayfield,
County Farmers & Fruit Growers
Association.
The prices for berries have been
holding up in good shape since the
opening Of the season, never falling
below the Sc. 90 mark and they have
sold as high as $a.15 per crate.
The berries are being snapped up on
the market and the demand holds up
the price. 1t is the opinion of Man
ager Morgan that the price will not
be lower than So this season.
Bayfield, berries are about done for
and this will help to maintain the
high price from this point.
This year thirty growers are ship
ping berries through the Farmers
Association. The heaviest growers
are E. C. Stevens, w. H. Irish,
George F. Morgan and I. A. Oscar
& Sons.
The shipments from this city, so
far, have been mostly by express,
although cars have been shipped to
Duluth and Minneapolis.
Owing to the dry weather about
three weeks ago when the fruit was
forming the crop will not be as heavy
as last year but the prevailing high
prices will help out materially to
to even up for last year when a
bumper crop was harvested.
There is good money in the berry
business for the growers and next
year will see a much larger acreage
planted to the fruit.

Anent the Bridge Question

The following is copy of a
letter that has been addressed
to each member of the County
Board of Bayfield, county, setting
forth some of the facts in con.
nection with the "Long Bridge
Story
Mason, Wis, July 6, 1914.
Dear Sir:
I am informed that an effort
will be made by the opponents
of what is known as the "Long
Bridge" road to call a special
meeting of the County Board to
consider the advisability Of
stopping the work that is being
done by the Special Bridg
Com mittee on that road.
AS you are no doubt aware.
this particular route has been a
bone Of contention in Bayfield,
county for years. Some tw"
years ago the County Board ap
pointed special committee t
look over both the Long Bridge
road and the so-called Canal
road and report to the Board
the feasibility and cost of build
ing each of these highways.
was appointed member of
this committee.
Previous to my appointment J
had been opposed to the "Long
Bridge" road and Mr.. George
Currie. another mber Of the
committee, had also been opposed
to it.
This Com mittee looked over
Doth routes and had the opinion
of two engineers, besides the
state engineer, on both roads,
and the report of the engineers,
as well as the information we
obtained from personal inspec-
tion. led us to recommend in our
report to the County Board the
adoption of the "Long Bridge
route, and this recommendation
received favorable consideration

COUNCIL PASSES
LOAN RESOLU TION

Borrow Money
Vote on the Resolution was
Nine to Two. One Mem
Der Absent.

The regular meeting of the
Common Council was held at the
Club rooms on Tuesday evening,
eleven of the twelve numbers being
present.
The first important business taken
up by the council was the loan
resolution introduced by Alderman
Lysager, which has been held up
during the past month. This
resolution provides for the loan of
$1,000 on the Bank of Wash burn
Building. the rents from the building
being set aside in separate fund for
the purpose of making repairs and
paying interest and principal. The
loan would run for term of five
years. There was little discussion of
the resolution when it came up
for a vote and it was passed by nine
members voting in the affirmative
and two in the negative.
The street committee was author
lied to look up all lots in the ci ty
where the fill and grade has been
established by the city and to order
new cement walks laid.
Two new ordinances were intro
duced, the one referring to the
closing of pool halls, picture shows,
bowling alleys on Sunday and at
certain hours at night, and the other
relating to the removing of the
screens from the windows of soft
larin'.sf a'sls formerly occupied for
saloon purposes. Both ordinances
went over until the next regular
meeting of the council.
Mayor Bryan threatens that il
these ordinances pass he will enforce
the blue laws to the letter which
will mean that all places of business
in the city will be closed on the
Sab both. There is a difference OF
opinion as to whether this would be
| a wise move.
There is now an ordinance on the
ordinance Books of the city govern
ing the pool and billiard halls and
ten pin alleys and some of the council
members believe this should be en-
forced.
The water committee of the council
was instructed to ascertain the num-
Der of hydrants in the city needed
for fire protection and to ask the
Wash burn Water company for rate
for the same.
No bills were acted upon by the
council at the Tuesday meeting.

Mad Dog

What is thought to be another
case of dog rabies developed in
the city Monday when the dog
owned by Dave Cameron went
mad and had to be shot. For
several days the animal had been
acting strangely and Monday
afternoon became so vicious
that Mr.. Cameron ended it's ex-
istance. This dog was bitten by
the Ashland dog.
Reports from Ashland are
also to the effect that two new
cases Of rabies have developed
at Ashland.
An order was issued by May.
or Bryan ordering all dogs to
be muzzled but some of the peo-
pie of the city seem to take this
order as joke and on the back
streets dogs are allowed to un
at large without being muzzled.
This is too serious question
to run any chances with and
every animal running at large
unmuzzled should be shot.

that the docks become more of a per-

they will be enlarged.

A CONFESSION
Hopes Her Statement, Made Public,
will Help Other Women.

Hines, Ala-"l must confess, SAYS
Mrs. Eula Mae Reid, OF this place, that
Cardui, the womanS tonic, has done me
great deal OF good.
Before commenced using Cardui, !
would spit up everything | ate. had
tired, sleepy feeling all the time, and was
irregular. could hardly drag around,
and would have severe headaches con-
tinuously.
Since taking Cardui, have entirely
quit splitting up what | eat. Everything
seems TO digest all right, and ! have
gained 10 pounds in weight"
If you are victim of any of the numer-
ous ills so common to your sex, it is
wrong TO suffer.
For half century, Cardui has been re-
lieving just such ills, as is proven by the
thousands OF letters, similar TO the above,
which pour into our office, year by year.
Cardui is successful because it is COM
posed ofingredients which act specifically
on the womanly constitution, and helps
build the weakened organs back 10 health
and strength.
Cardui has helped others, and will help
you, too. Get a bottle today. You
won't regret it. Your druggist sells it.

Albany n. Y, Sept. 13.-Supreme
Court Justice Chester reserved de.
cision today on the motion of Colo.
mel Theodore Rooseyelts attorneys
to have the $4,000 suit for alleged
libel brought against him by Repub.
lican State Chairman William Barnes

Barnes home. The attorneys were
given until next Saturday to file ad-
ditional briefs. Incidentally complaint
was made part of the record of

that Mr.. Barnes dominated Albany

impossible to obtain an impartial
trlal lcre. The Roosevelt attorneys
intimated that the Barnes counsel
,houd consent to a change of venue.
10 this W. NJ. Ivans, appearing for
NJ. Iarnes, replied:
Knowing the temper of the de.
fcnd"nt Mr.. Roosevelt, if we con
sentcd it Immediately would be util.

Of the fact that we have the polfti
cal control with which he charges us"
H. the Roosevelt answer political
activities of Mr.. Barnes for the past
twenty years was commented upon.
Mr. lvans contended that the greater
part Of the answer was not relevant
to the pending motion, but was IAN
of the libel" He added
that Mr. Roosevelt as president had
appointed Mr.. Barnes collector of
the port of Albany.
"If," Mr., Ivaps continued. "Presi.
dent Roosevelt kept Mr.. Barnes in
office for several years, knew all
the things about him then that this
answer alleges, then President Roose-
'elt's actions were nothing less than
criminal"
