Globe Trottsrs Here

Lieutenant Herbert P. Nord-
wall and sister Wilhelmina OF
Holland were in the city yester-
day morning and may return
here at a later date for an en-
gagement at the Temple
Theatre. The Lieutenant left
his home in Holland in February,
1907 and since that time has
travelled a distance of 45, 900
miles, visiting Dutch East
Indias, China, Spain, Egypt,
Greece, Canada, Russia, Alaska,
and in fact practically every
country in the world. His sister,
who is nineteen years of age and
quite charming, joined her
brother a year and q half ago
and since that time the two haye
been travelling together. Dur
ing the present year they are
playing in vaudeville throughout
the country.
The two are interesting per.
sonages, travelling about in their
Dutch costum mes which attract o
good deal of attention. They
speak a number of languages
fuently and have no trouble in
making acquaintances wherever
they go.
Mr.. Nordwall is familiar with
affairs in many of the countries
of the globe and he is very en-
tertaing talker. Miss Nordwall
possesses a beautiful voice and
her singing always furnishes a
fine part of their program al
the theatres.
This office acknowledges q
pleasant visit.

At meeting of the directors OF
the IVashburn Farmers and Fruit
Growers Association held during
the past week it was decided to take
tha agency for the Bridgeman-
Russell creamery company oi
Duluth and establish a cream
station in this city. The apparatus
for tes ting the cream has alread,
been delivered at the farmers ware
house and cans have also been in
stalled so that the Association is In
position to receive cream at any
time. 1t is the plan OF the
association to receive cream on two
days per week during the winter
months and possibly Tuesdays and
Saturdays will be set as the days
upon which cream will be received
Farmers delivering cream will bs
paid after each delivery and tht
only cans that he will need will be
the ones in which to bring the
cream in from the farm, the shipping
cans being provided by the com
pany.
The price paid for cream will b
based on the New Yorl
market which is considerable abov'
the Chicago market. This cream
station will provide an outlet for tn
surplus cream of the cows in thi
section.
At first it was kthe plan of tn
Farmers Association to establish
creamery here but it was f0un'
difficult to get the required numbe
of COWS and it was thought best t,
await another year until sufficien
number of COWS could be obtained.

Cups for Passengers

Since the first of the year
railroads in the State of Wiscon-

new law compells the railroads
to keep supply on hand and
they may be obtained from the

Under the old law the rail
roads were compelled to supply

furnish their own drinking cups.
Now the railroads must furnish

BAYFIELD, Merchants "Took in"

Two young men who said they
hailed from Chicago and were
to spend several months in this
vicinity for the benefit of their
health "blowed" into Bayfield,
about two weeks ago and hand
ed out their chunk" story with
such effect that a number OF
she merchants of the HarbOr
City were taken into the
extent of about one hum
dred dollars. The gentlemen
at first took up their lodging at
Houghton but later moved to
Salmo where they rented a
cottage on the lake shore, be-
lieving that the fresh breezes OF
the lake would be more beneficial
for their health. Then they
proceeded to Bayfield, and loaded
up with provisions, ammunition,
consisting of guns and cartridg'
es, whiskey, etc. and went to
their abode at Salmo where they
intended to camp during the
winter months, as neither had
to work until about March 1st.
The story to the effect that they
had lots of money in the bank
and would settle for the goods
soon was taken "bait and all" by
the bayfield, merchants and they
were not aware that they had
been caught until they learned
that the pair had left for parts
unknown, presumably Chicago
This Information was given by
brakemen on the passen gel
