A Special Meeting

A special meeting of the City
Council was held at the Com
mercial Club on Tuesday even
ing having been called by Mayor
Bryan for the purpose Of taking
up the question of the purchase
of the water plant by the city.
After some little discussion the
matter was laid over until a
future meeting.
An attempt was made at the
special meeting to pass the loan
resolution and thus relieve the
financial stringency but as usual
Aldermen Skuhra, White and
Felix objected and action had to
be deferred until the regular
meeting. The people of the
city are beginning to wonder
"why" these gentlemen are so
interested in crippling the
finances of the city at this time
and some of them may be called
upon to explain their stubborn
attitude.

Fine Game of Base Ball
Scheduled
Game Will be Called at Three
O'clock. Promises to
be Good One.

What promises to be one of the
best games of base ball played on the
grounds in this city this season will
be played here next Sunday afternoon
beginning at three o'clock, when the
Washburn and Ironwood teams will
clash.
These teams are about evenly
matched. Last Sunday Ironwood
was defeated by Ashland in twelve
inning game by score of three to
two and as the Washburn team has
defeated the Ashland aggregation il
gives some idea of the strength o1
the two teams. In all probability
the Washburn City Band will furnish
music during the game.
Manager Anil Scantland of the
Washburn team is scheduling some
strong games for the near future
He is endeavoring to get games with
Superior and Duluth teams which
ought to prove to be hummers.

Going to Insist That All
Property be Kept Clean
Arrest and Fine for Persons
Who Fail to Comply With
Their Orders.

The new Board of Health of the
City of Washburn is on the war path
and the members of that body have
already put on their war paint to
commence action against any and all
persons who fail to comply with their
orders.
Do they mean business? Just ask
the individual members of the Board
and you will learn that they mean
every word they say and refuse to
comply with their orders and it will
go mighty hard with the individual
who dares to hold out against them.
They are not only going to insist
that all property be given a cleaning
up but are going further and insist
that it be kept in tidy condition.
They threaten arrest and fine for
the person who dares to defy them
in addition to having the property
cleaned up under their direction and
charged to the abutting property.
The Board of Health is composed
of the following members: DR.. p. G.
Frey, Albert Holgren, Robert
Steinert and Ike Berman. Joe
Arseneau, street foreman, is also GO
ing to act with the members in the
cleanup program. The Board says
that conditions in Washburn must
change forthwith and i'm this issue of
this paper have notice to that effect.
They are going at things in nice
manner but they are going to be firm
and see that their orders are carried
out. They are going to insist that
the sanitary ordinances of the city
be carried out to the letter.
In their movement for better and
cleaner city the Board will have the
backing of nearly all citizens. Their
work pertains to the health of the
community and every citizen should
be interested.
The new Board will hold meetings
every Monday night in order to get
into working action and they intend
to make dirt and filth fly.

Is Some Politician

Amos Elliot of East 4th street,
who does not have more than
seven years to go before he
reaches the Tooth mark, has
been breaking into politics
during the past week and has
been circulating the nomination
papers for Merlin Hull of Black
River Falls, for Governor.
Mr.. Elliot has known Mr.. Hull
for a good many years and he
speaks very highly of him. It
is his belief that he will make
one of the best Governors Wis
consin has ever had and Mr..
Elliot seems to be firm IN his
conviction that Mr.. Hull will
receive the republican nomi-
nation at the primaries to be
held in September.
Mr.. Elliot has Witnessed many
a political battle in Wisconsin,
having resided in the state since
the early days, and with all of
this knowledge of how things
politically are done, ought to
MAKE strong campaigner for
his favorite candidate. He sure
has a good line of campaign
talk and is proving to be quite a
booster for the Black River Falls
man.

BY Decision of the u. S.
Supreme Court
Interior Department May
Decide to Make Fight for
Other Territory.

By decision rendered by the
United States Supreme Court during
the past week large number of
saloons in the northern part of MINI.
were wiped out.
This case is the result of fight
made by the Interior Department to
have saloons excluded from the
territory covered by the treaty made
with the Indians in 1855.
Some time ago the department
attempted to close out the saloons
embraced in this territory and the
case was carried to the u. S. Sup
RENE court by the saloon interests
and the decision rendered the past
week was against them and now the
department can close out these
saloons if it desires.
1t is also stated that the depart
ment may decide under this decision
to close out the saloons under other
treaties of later date and If this is
true the entire part of Wisconsin and

WILL CELEBRATE
THE FOURTH
Business Men Contribute
Literally Toward Fund
Meeting to be Held at Com
mercial Club Friday to
Complete Plans.

THE eagle will scream in Washburn
this year in higher key than it has
ever screamed before and the Fourth
will be celebrated in glorious style.
A petition is now in circulation
among the business people and others
OF the city and it is being well signed,
many of the local people contributing
quite heavily. Enough money has
already been raised to insure a
celebration and the committee will
not cease their work until everyone
has been seen. With what funds
can be raised there will be enough
to put on one of the biggest celebra-
tions ever held in the city.
Under the terms of an agreement
entered into with Bayfield, year ago
the people of that city will join with
the people of Washburn in the
celebration of the Fourth. The
people of this city turned out to the
Labor Day celebration at Bayfield,
last year in large numbers and word
received from the Harbor City is to
the effect that the people of that city
will be more than pleased to return
the compliment this year.
A meeting will be held at the
Commercial Club rooms on Friday
evening of this week to complete
final arrangements for the celebration
and all people who have an interest
in the success of the celebration are
requested to be present at that meet
ing.
Lets all get together and make
the celebration hummer and one of
the best that has ever been held in
the city. We can do it and why
not.

DEFENDS SENDING
BRIGADE TO ANTWERP
Winston Churchill Answers
Charg" Of Military
Critics.

LoNpoN. oct. 17.-winston Churchill,
First Lord Of the Admiralty. has sent
n message welcoming home the naval
division which took part IN the fighting
at Antwerp. He congratulates the men
on their frmness, discipline and courage
and adds:
Naval briGadas were chosen because
tho need for them was urgent and bit
ter; because mobile troops could not he
spared for fortress duties; because they
were the nearest to the scene and could
be embarked the quickest. and because
their training, though incomplete, was
as far advanced as that of large por-
ton not only OF the forces defending
lacking that place.
The naval division was sent to Ant
werp not as an isolated incident, but
as part OF a large operation for the re-
lief OF the city. Other and more power
ful considerations prevented this from
being carried through. The defence of
the inner lines of Antwerp could have
been maintained for some days, and the
naval division only withdrew when
ordered to do so on account of the gem
eral strategic situation and not on ac-
count of any attack or pressure by the
enemy. The prolongation of the defence
was due to the arrival of the naval d.
vision. which enabled the ships in the
harbor to be rendered useless.
