Douglas County to Build
Road to County Line
Will Connect With the Road
Traversing Bayfield, Cou
ty.4 To be Soon Built.

Construction of nine miles of
road by Douglas county to con-
meet with the Bayfield, county
road, thereby forming a highway
between Washburn and Superior,
is planned by the County High
way Commissioner of Douglas
county and his recommendation
will be presented to the County
Board Of Douglas county at the
annual meeting to be held in
November.
The rough estimate of the cost
of this road work to Douglas
county is $4,000. This.road will
be connected with a road to be
built by Bayfield, county which
will run direct across the county
from Washburn to the Douglas
county line. The road has long
been urged by autoists and by
the farmers along the route.
At the meeting of the Douglas
County Board held last year it
was decided to construct this
nine miles of highway and the
appropriation Of the money for
this work will likely be made at
the November meeting of that
Board.
A good portion of the Bayfield,
county part of the road has al
ready been built and only the
connecting links remain to be
built. 1t IS likely that Bayfield,
county will also take up part of
this work during the coming
year.

Did you ever sit on a messy
bank and look at the sun kissed
brook as it merrily dances in
giee around the protrudiDg
pebbles and feel glad that you
were alive? Well that is the
same sensation that you ex.
perience when you go and see
"A Pair of Country Kids" at the

bubbling pure heart and home
story. When the curtain drops
on the last act you feel as though
you had been refreshed by a

The Kids are full of fun and
these two characters alone in

The Washburn High School
foot ball team went to Ashland
last Saturday afternoon where
they played their first game
of the season against the Ash
land High School team. The
beginning of the contest looked
favorable for the locals and dur
ing the first quarter of the game
they held their opponents with
out score. During the second
quarter a touchdown was made
by the Ashland boys and this
seemed to put damper on the
locals and during the remainder
of the contest the Ashland boys
scored at will. The score at the
end of the game stood 46 to . in
favor Of Ashland.
The average weight of the
WaShburn team was about 135
per man while that of Ashland
was more than $50. The locals
will go to Ironwood next Satur-
day where they will stack up
against the range High school
team and a much better contest
is expected. Coach Hawkins
expects to develop a winning
team before the season is far
advanced.

The announcement of Mr..
Blaine was made after United
States Senator Robert M. La
Toilette definitely stated that he
would not enter the field for
Governor as an Independent.
For some time it has been known
that there was a likelihood of an
Independent candidate for Gov
ernor, the Progressive facti ons
of both parties being rather dis
satisfied with the head of the
tickets.
The Independent in the field
hopes to be able to hold the con-
troll of the Progressive wings of
the Republican and Democratic
parties and in that way secure
election.
1t is yet too soon to learn how
the announcement of the decision
to run an Independent candidate
will be received by the people.
