A meeting Of the Stockholders
of the Washburn Ice Company
was held at the Com mercial Club
rooms on Monday evening of
this week, the meeting having
been called for the purpose of
talking over plans looking to the
disolving of the com pany and a
committee was a9aSinted and
will report at a meeting to be
held in the near future. The ice
company has not had very good
shedding during the past year or
two and the stockholders are
desirous Of closing out the busi-
ness.
There seems to be no one that
wants to handle the business in
Washburn and it is likely that
there will be no ice for sale here
during the coming year unless
other arrangements are made.

Washburn Wisconsin, Thursday, Jan. 9Th, 1914
RIPE BERRIES JAN. 5TH
A. J. Fraser Brings in Sam
pies of Ripe Strawberries
on Monday,

1t is quite rare thing to see big
luscious strawberries in this neck of
the woods at this time of the year
but A. j. Fraser, who owns nice
farm just northwest of the city has
demonstrated that nothing is i'm
possible in this great fruit region.
On Monday Mr.. Fraser brought in
from his farm a sample of ripe straw
berries and he says that he will have
more as soon as we get little more
sunshine. The berry was of the ever
bearing variety and was nearly an
inch through. 1t was ripe but owing
to the lack of warm sunshine was of
pale color. Mr.. Fraser says he will
not have enough to market any but
that he will have enough to be able
to show a few more before very many
days.
A year ago Mr.. Fraser purchased
some plants of the everbearing variety
and this fall when things began to
freeze up he took up one of
the plants and placed it in the
house. A short time ago the plant
began to blossom and bear fruit and
it is now loaded with blossoms and
green fruit. 1t is quite rare thing
at this season of the year for plants
to bear fruit for plants of the ordinary
variety will not do well when trans
planted i'm the house.

Eben Olson of Port Wing, who
has the contract for building
the approaches to the Long
Bridge at the head of the bay,
was in the city the first of the
week looking after matters of
business. Mr.. Olson has already
started work on the long bridge
approaches and will keep crew
of men there all winter. The
work includes the building OF
the approaches to the two
bridges to be erected by the
county and the leveling of the
road way. The contract price
for the work amounts to So, 900.
The Henepin Bridge company
of Minneapolis have the contract
for putting in the steel bridges,
the smaller one of the two hav-
ing been completed with the ex-
ception of the laying of the con-
crete floor. This company ex-
poets to com mence work on the
bridge with 1926 foot span some
time next week and will have it
ready by May 1st.
Mr.. Olson will not be able to
complete his part of the contract
until after the frost leaves the
ground in the spring.
The price of the road complete
will amount to more than SIS, 900,
somewhat in excess of the esti-
mate given by the engineers for
the Wisconsin High way Com.
mission.

Pass Strong Resolution A.
gainst Tax Official
Ask Tax Commission to Re-
lieve Him of all Official
Duties.

One of the matters coming up at
the meeting of the Common Council
on Tuesday was resolution asking
the Tax Commission to relieve In
come Assessor William Landraint of
his official duties as Income Assessor
The following is the resolution which
was passed at the meeting unanimous
ly, Alderman Lysager being the only
member not voting.
Whereas the County Board of Bay
field county has by resolution re-
quested the State Tax Commission
to relieve William Landraint from
the duties of Income Assessor of Bay
field county
Therefore, be it resolved by the
City Council of the city of Washburn
that such action needs our most
heart approval, and that as the con
duct of said William Landraint in his
official capacity has been uniformly
arrogant, arbitrary, overbearing and
insolent, it is the individual opinion
of the members of this Council that
said Landraint be not only relieved
of the duties of Income Assessor for
Bayfield, county, but also of all other
official duties in the other counties of
his district.
The noxius weed ordinance was
passed at this meeting of the council.
1t is good ordinance and should be
enforced.
The garbage ordinance was also
passed. This is another good measure
that should be enforced.
The johnson snow shoveling or
dinance was passed at this meeting of
the council and will 60 into effect
after its publication in the official
papers. 1t provides for the shoveling
of snow by property owners.

Ants to Wage Battle for
No License
Will Carry on a Vigorous
Campaign Previous to
Spring Election.

From different sources it has been
reported that the liquor question
will be prominent one at the cleo
ton to be held during the month of
April. For some time those opposed
to license town have been formu-
lating plan for an aggressive cam
paign and this will be carried out
previous to the spring election
1t is the plan to have a number of
noted speakers here during the
winter and spring months and to
otherwise bring before the voters the
question of whether or not Washburn
will remain wet
In the past few years quite cam
paign has been waged on this question
and at times the vote has been
rather close. The ants believe that
the time has come when they can
carry out their plans but it will take
the election to tell which way the
sentiment really stands.

make tests under the eugenics mar
rage law came dangerously near TO
forming conspiracy was limited by
Attorney General Walter G. Owen
today. Mr.. Ovens attention was
called to the agreements being
signed by some of the physicians in

"The signing of an agreement

strong indications OF possible con-
spiracy. Such conditions will be
looked into," said Mr., Owen.

NArcHAUe SCHOOL OPENING
'HiIi Be Delayed, Probably Until Mon. ! day, Sept. IA.

{ Indications are that the new Match aug school. the second. of the splendid additions to Willimantic's school sys- tenn in course of erection, will not be
 ready for the opening day, Tuesday, Sept. 8. The work on the building is
 practically completed save some minor
 details, some of the electrical work,
 hinges on the doors. etc., but the desks
 and chairs have not been set up and
 are but just arriving Some of the
 fixtures which were brought to the school Wednesday were evidently a
 wrong shipment, as they were not of
 the kind ordered.
 Chairman George F. Taylor of the building committed of the town stated "Wednesday that the school would probably be opened on Monday, Sept. l4. although the date has not been oehn1tely set The contractors arc lbehind on their schedule. but owing to the fact that the building has been used during the summer months for storage sby the town, and as the new equipment is now going into it. it is not at all likely that any forfeit will be claimed by the town for the delay In it's completion. When the school is opened Windham will have a grade tscnool second to none in the state in appointments and conveniences.

FIRE DEPARTMENT INSPECTION
To Be Held Soon-Mayor Compliments Chief Maynard and Department.

Following a suggestion made to the common council by Mayor Archibald Macdonald that body has voted in favor of an inspection of the local fire department, this inspection to follow
 the usual form, a parade of the men and apparatus and review by the city officials. Mayor Macdonald in taking
 the matter up with the council paid a
 compliment to Chief Engineer Joseph
 Maynard for the interest he has taken
 in the organization and the efforts he
 has made to build it up to a high
 spection will take place at an early
 date, probably on Columbus day, Oc-
 tober 12. but nothing definite has been
 decided. The only expense to the city in connection with the holding Of the
 inspection will be the charge for horses to draw the apparatus.
 The council has instructed Chief Maynard to see the waste boxes, rub bish, old papers and dirty cellars or any other place or condition that ere
 ates a fire hazard be given his atten-
 tionr and has instructed him to take
 action for the abatement of any such dangers.
 Another matter upon which the council has taken action is relative to the height of awnings from the side
 walks. which in accordance with a city ordinance shall clear he walks by a least seven feet. 1t is understood that the regulation is to be rigidly
 enforced. The penalty for not com plying with the regulation is a fine oi S25.
 The council has also voted that F'arrows street be laid out in accord ance with a survey made by the city engineer.
 Members of the fire committee of the common council are to make an | investigation as to needed repairs al | the Smith street fire station and will report back to the council
