Eloquence Wakes Warm Tuesday Night
Fight was Participated Over the Levy for
the Schools of Washburn for the
Coming Year.

Manning of the 9th ward to fill
vacancy.
Mrs. James A. Sheridan was ap-
pointed to the library board to
succeed G. w. Hacker and Frank
Grey to succeed Nels M. Oscar.
When this business was disposed
of the clerk read the recommendation
of the school board asking the sum of
$12, 2,183.17 be levied for school pur-
poses in the city the coming year.
Attorney John w alsh appeared be-
fore the council as member of the
board and an interested citizen and
requested that the council pass the
levy as proposed. In doing so Mr..
Walsh waxed warm in eloquence on
the school question. He stated that
this was cut of some Us, 900 under
what was levied year ago and that
the board by close figuring believed
they could keep the schools up to the
present high standard with this
amount. He stated that Washburn
was composed of large percentage
of laboring people and the High
School was University to the child
rem of these people. He stated that
the majority of the people were with
out means to send their children to
outside schools and to cripple the
schools at this time was hard blow
to every laboring inan of the city.
He brought out his points very
forcibly and was applauded by the
audience present.
Alderman Johnson sided with Mr..
Walsh as to the school levy as did
also Mr.. Beers, president of the
Board.
Alderman Peavey said that he was
as much friend of the school as any
one but he stated that the city could
not get along if the am cunt above
was levied for schools. He had
figures on which he based his talk
and he too grew quite eloquent in
his address. From time to time
there was tilt between Mr.. Walsh
and Mr.. Peavey and when the mo-
tion to make the levy was made it
was passed by vote of eight to four.
A motion for an additional levy of
$500 with which to provide free text
books in the schools was also passed.
A few bills were passed upon and
allowed and the council adjourned
after a most stormy session.

MAY BUY COWS
FOR. FARMERS
Proposition Taken up at
Meeting Held Saturday
Plan is to Follow Out the
Ashland Idea Whereby Cows
Pay for Themselves.

A meeting was held at the Com
mercial Club in this city last Satur-
day afternoon for the purpose OF
interesting farmers i'm increasing their
herds of dairy cows, and while the
meeting was not as largely attended
as might be expected, yet a good
deal of interest was manifest in the
plan which the Farmers Association
is endeavoring to carry out in supply
ing the farmers, who are members of
the association, with more cattle.
At the meeting nearly car load
of cows were spoken for and as soon
as the required number to make up a
car load is made up the association
will send an experienced man down
into the older dairy sections of the
state to purchase the cows.
The cows preferred by those at
tending the meeting were Holsteins
and Guerensys and the car will be a
mixed lot of the two grades of milk
cattle.
The plan under which the cows
will be sold to the farmers of this
section is similar to the Ashland
idea whereby the cows are made to
pay for themselves through the milk
and cream sold. A part of each
weeks sale of milk and cream will 20
toward the, purchase of the cows SO
that the farmers will not feel the
expense of the purchase to any ex-
tent.

The first meeting of the new coun-
ell under Mayor Edwin Bryan proved
to be hummer of session SO far as
eloquence was concerned and the
large audience was royalty enter
tanned for more than two hours.
The meeting was called to order
by the Mayor elect at about S:15
o'clock with all members in their
seats. Mayor Bryan confined his
inaugural address largely to an attack
on the Washburn papers and his re-
marks were enjoyed as much by the
editors of the papers as by anyone
else in attendance. Mr.. Bryan said
that it was time that this wet" and
dry question was dropped and that
the city should get down to business
again. In this everyone seemed to
agree.
The appointment of officers for the
various appointive Offices for the en-
suing year caused very little friction
and this part of the program was
carried out nicely. The following
were appointed officers of the city:
President of the Council Henry
Johnson.

Washburn is in line for new
industry. This important piece OF
news was given to the Times by O..
A. Lamoreaux of the Kenfeld-
Lamoreaux company after meeting
of the officers and directors of that
company held in this city the first of
the week at which it was decided to
erect new and complete box factory
plant here. This will be i'll addition
to the Grating factory and saw mill
now operated by this company and
will mean that their force of men will
be increased in order to handle the
output of the factory.
In giving out the information Mr..
Lamoreaux stated that the new box
factory plant would be equipped with
all the latest box making machines,
including Watchers, dove-tailirg
machines, printing press, planners,
edgers, etc. and that the plant would

The neighbors in each block

can be done by beautiful gardens

With movement of this kind
under way Washburn can be

mean much in business way to the
people of this city. AS to the num-
Der of men that will be employed was
not stated but we understand it will
be upwards of twenty-five and as
business increases and the plant is
enlarged the number will be increased.
The company have material enough
ahead to keep their plants here
operating for long term of years and
they are continually adding to their
supply.
The Kenfeld-Lamoreaux company
had it's birth In Washburn a number
of years ago. At first they only
operated Grating factory and that
only part of the time, but owing to
the aggressiveness of the members of
this concern business increased rapidly
and the company began branching out
establishing mills at Cass Lake and
Bemidji. In addition to this they
handle the entire output of a number
of other factories. Today they are
recognized as one of the largest con.
Germs in the Grating and box bnsin es.

Villa would carry out his threat to deal
summary with Spaniards should they
be captured in the rebel attack on
Torreon. agents of Spain have tele-
graphed to the Spanish minister at
Washington recommending that their
countrymen be urged to leave Torreon
before the battle begins there. The
Spanish refugees who were driven out
of Chihuahua after much Of their prop
erty had been confiscated by Villa
were anxious that several hundred
Spaniards now in Torreon leave there
at once for Monterey or for the
United States. General Villas asser-
ton that he would execute Spaniards
who. he says. have taken up arms to
support the federals, was accepted as
a warning for them to leave the coun-
