To be Given Out at This
Office Xmas Morning
The Times Will Act as "San-
ia Claus for the Friend
of the "Kids. +"

To the Children of Washburn:
When The Times was published
last week we were beginning to
fear that the date of Christmas
had been forgotten by our friend
who had been providing funds
each year with which to give out
greeting coupons to the children
of Washburn but such was not
the case for it was not long after
the paper was out that our friend
was here and deposited another
sum sufficient to give every little
child of the city a greeting cou-
pom of the value of ten cents
which will be taken in trade at
any store in the city.
Our friend said: "Put an an
nouncement in your paper next
week telling the children of
Washburn to be on hand at The
Times Office on Christmas morn
ing between the hours Of ten and
twelve and receive Greetings
again and wish them all Merry
Christmas and a Happy New
Year for me-"
So remember children to be on
hand on Christmas morning for
there will be plenty of coupons
for all. We want you to be here
and we shall indeed be disappoint-
ed if we do not see the same
faces that were here last year
and a number more who were
unable to come out last Christ
mas.

Washburn, Wisconsin. Thursday. December Oath, 1914

and the prospects are that they
will operate here for some time
to come. Washburn people and
especially the business people
have warm spot in their hearts
for this company.
The Sprague Lumber company
is another Of Washburn's live
wires" When the people
thought the saving days for
Washburn were practically over
this concern built a new mill and
the stock to keep it going is all
being brought in from outside
points. Besides a saw mill the
company also operates a planning
mill and single mill. During
the summer months a large
number of men are employed
about the plants and yards Of
this company and in the winter
time they furnish employment
to large number of local people
at their camps in the woods.
Like the Stearns people we
would like to see this company
continue to operate here forever.
M. H. Sprague has direct charge
of all the plants of this company
and he is a hustler from the word
go.
The Northwestern Fuel COM
pany is another of the live
wire" Washburn concerns. Aside
from a very small local retail
business all of the business
of this concern is done with out
side points. This company has
recently greatly added to the
efficiency of their docks in this
city by equipping them electric
ally and doing away with the
steam power. The company has
invested a large amount of money
in this city and their docks fur
nish employment to a large num-
Der of men and the wages paid
are the highest. John w. Glib
son is the genial manager of this
company and he is ever watchful
of their interests.
Among the merchants and
business people who are using
space this week for offering their
greetings are the Northern
State Bank, l. Berman, F.
Tetzner & Son, B. Ungrodt and

Regular advertisers who use a
general supply OF space during

A Number Using Space to
Offer Greeting of the Season
Four of Washburn's Big In
situations Represented in
This Weeks Issue.

The first page of this issue OF
the Times and a part of the back
page is devoted to the merchants
and business people who are
offering their greetings to the
people of the city. Among the
concerns who are using space
this week for this purpose are
four of Washburn's biggest in
situations, the Kenfleld-Lam-
oreaux company, the J.. S. Stearns
Lumber company, the North
wertern Fuel company and the
M. H. Sprague Lumber company.
These concerns can all truthfully
be called the live wires of Wash
burn for they furnish the en-
ployment for a large percentage
Of the men of our city and when
the wheels at their plants are
turning business concerns of the
city prosper.
The Kenfield-Lamoreaux COM
pany which was started in this
city many years ago on a small
scale has grown until it's business
is now one of the largest of the
kind in the United States. This
company has plants located at
Washburn, Cass Lake, Bemidji
and offices at Chicago. The bust
ness Of this company is the manu-
featuring of wire reels, Grating,
heading, boxes and lumber. The
Washburn plant Of this concern
is under the management of O..
A. Lamoreaux of this city, a live
wire from all through.
Business at their plants is al
ways brisk and during the bust
ness depression Of the past three
months it has been one of the
few concerns that has operated
continuously, thereby giving en-
ployment to a large number of
men who would otherwise have
been idle.
The business of this concern
for the coming year looks pros
porous and contracts have already
been made for next year that
will use approximately twenty
five million feet of lumber.
The plant of the company in
this city is constantly being i'm
proved, the latest addition being
a large dry kiln which is % x 100
feet in size. 1t is equipped with
three miles of live steam pipes
by which lumber is dried. This
kiln is now being completed and
is being used. With the double
kilns the company caniget manu-
featured products on the road to
the buyer within a week after
the stock has been cut from the
tree in the woods. Their output
goes all over the United States.
The company employs upwards
of one hundred men and the best
thing is that the plant runs con-
tinually the year round.
The J. S. Stearns Lumber COM
pany is another concern that is
a great credit to the city and one
that we would like to have re-
main with us always. This COM
pany operates mills at Washburn
and Odanah, the Washburn mill
being under the management of
George R. Moore, who is boost
er for Washburn. The Stearns
people bought the mill operated
by them in this city from the
Thompson Lumber company in
1909. Since then it has practical
ly been rebuilt and is modern and
up-to-date. This company en-
ployes about two hundred men
about their mill and yards during
the summer months, besides
furnishing employment to a
small crew about their yards and
a large crew in the woods during
the winter months. The COM
pany has a full seasons cut
ahead of them for next season

Women VIII Work
For the library.

4 D.
a large number Of society women
of the city plan to attend the polls
at the coming city election a week
from next Tuesday for the purpose
Iof saving the Carnegie public library
These women display admirable
energy and public spirit in that they
are willing to leave their households
Ito defend a public institution which,
|if discontinued, would be the cause
of discredit being heaped upon the
city.
| The voters at the city election will
decide whether the library shall be
Continued Or closed. 1t IS necessary
that an opinion be registered. and
consequently the city council ordered
the matter decided at the election.
Voting on this issue. does not mean
that the taxpayers win be forced to
pay an additional tax for the con
ttinlance or the library, but simply
that the library will be maintained as
it has been in the past. In order to
continue this policy the city council
lnust have the approval OF this action
lby the people. This, it was decided,
should come by vote.
| The women society leaders and
others intensely interested, form the
nucleus Of the contingent which is in
favor of the continuance Of the IL
hrary. Several prominent society
women are members of the board OF
control of the institution. Others are
interested in such a way that they
frequently donate books to keep UP
the standard.0 Many others, in fact,
a large percentage of the women Of
the city, make use Of the library and
fthus are interested, All these women,
