Big Sum For Development
Purposes
Bankers on Visit to North
Marveled at Richness of ::
the Soil.

Milwaukee, Wis.,, June 90, After
three days trip through northern
Wisconsin the Milwaukee delegation
of the Wisconsin Bankers sightseeing
excursion returned full of enthusiasm
over what they saw.
The trip has enabled the Mil
waukeeans to obtain full grasp upon
the wonderful values of farming lands
i'm northern Wisconsin and it is pre-
dicted that it means at least S1 ,OOO,-
600 for development purposes there
at an early day.
The bankers have seen with their
own eyes the wonderful progress that
has taken place within the past few
years and now predict great things
for the future. In short, the tourists
are practically unanimous in declaring
that no safer investment can be made
than i'm upper state farm lands.
Moreover, the trip has been pro-
ductive of bringing about closer
business relationship between the
bankers and the farmers which can
not but rebound to the benefit ol
both.
The tourists marveled at the won
derful productiveness of the soil
which is reclaimed timber land and
which is surpassed by none in the
entire country.
They visited scores OF farms which
were models in their line and saw
happy, prosperous and contented
men, women and children who form.

not return to them under any circum.
stances.

LOCAL BERRIES
ON THE MARKET
First big Picking Brought in
Wednesday
Berry Crop was Benefited by
Rains of the Past Week.
Good Demand.

Strawberries from the Washburn
district have begun arriving on the
market, the first large picking being
brought to the city yesterday. The
rains of the past week have been of
much benefit to the crop but the
yield will not be as heavy as year
ago when bumper crop was
harvested.
From this time on the berries will
begin arriving at rapid rate and it
will only be the course of few days
until shipments IN car load lots will
be going out. The berry crop this
year is again being handled by the
Farmers Association and that
institution will be busy place during
the next thirty days.
The berries on the market this
year are noted for their fine color and
flavor and the demand for them is
great.

Small Boy Drowned

Robert Jennings Jr. the two
year old son of Robert Jennings
of Port Wing, was drowned in
Whittlesey Creek yesterday.
It is the first drowning that has
ever been reported in Whittlesey
Creek which in most places is
only knee deep and boys have
waded in it for years. In fact
the creek is not over from 6 to
10 feet wide in many places.
Mr.. Jennings is at work on the
new long bridge and Mrs. Jen
nings aud her little son were
visiting on Capt. Days farm.
There was no thought of danger
until the body had been found
in the creek short distance
from where he had apparently
fallen in near the house.

TRAINING SHIP THIS SUMMER
Advices From Adjutant Gen
erals Office Received to
This Effect.

AS result of the recent inspections
of the Wisconsin Naval Militia by
Lieutenant w. HI. Emerson, u. S.
Navy, the local Battalion, the only
one in the State, is already deriving
benefits. Without acquisitions, the
different divisions around Chequame-
gon Bay, comprising of Ashland I,
Washburn and Bayfield,, have been
fully equipped with the late model OF
Springfield rifles, together with land
ing forces equipment, which will
make the three divisions among the
best equipped in the United States.
In addition to that, the Governor has
just appointed Commander Werder as
Disbursing Officer for the Naval Mil
tia, inasmuch as under the new Nav
al Militia act, money is now available
for Naval Militia purposes from the
United States government, something
that has never been done before.
This however applies for travel and
subsistence only.
Late advices from the Adjutant
Generals s Office. at Madison, bear out
the contention that trip will be as
signed to this region during the
summer. The Secretary of the Navy
is now using due diligence in getting
the proper sort of vessel selected
for assignment as training ship,
which will be stationed in this har-
Dor, this being headquarters Of the
Naval Militia. Ashland Press.

A very nice piece Of work has
just been completed by the
Northwestern Fuel company on
the city streets without one cent
of cost to the city. For some
time the walk leading to the
dock has been in very poor con-
dition and last week Manager
Gibson of the company donated
the use of a mum Der of men and
teams to the city and the work
was done in tlp-top shape. The
old plank walk was removed and
cinders were hauled from the
dock and the side walk repaired.
The Omaha company was also
interested to the extent of put.
ting in a new culvert near their
property and now the walk lead
ing to the dock is in fine shape.
At various times during the
past year the companies Of the
city have donated the use of
teams and men from time to
time in putting the streets and
walks in shape and there has
not been one cent of cost to the
city. This spirit on the part of
the companies operating e,in
Washburn is certainly COM
mendable. It shows they have
an interest in the city in which
they are carrying on their bus
mess.
Among the other concerns
that have donated teams from
time to time are the Kenfield-
Lamoreaux com pany. the j. S.
Stearns Lu m Der company and
the M. Fl. Sprague Lum Der
company.
Another piece of work done
without cost to the city is that
of putting in shape the road
leading from the Bayfield, road
to tie Olson and LlmoreauY
cottages. Mr.. Olson interested
the people living in that section
in fixing up the road and very
nice piece Of work was done
without cost to the city.

A New Order Has Been Is
sued This Week
Dogs Found RunningatLarge
Without a Muzzle Will
be Shot.

A new order has been issued by
the Board of Health this week which
provides that all dogs in the city be
muzzled or locked up during the next
ninety days. Dogs found running at
large without mnzzle will be shot
by the officers of the city.
This new order has been issued in
order to take all precautions to pre-
vent people from being bitten by
dogs which may develop rabies.
On June 18th dog from Ashland
came over to this city and bit nearly
fifty dogs. On account of the queer
actions of the dog he was shot by
Sheriff Max Happle and the head
was sent to Madison where examina-
tion showed that he was suffering
from rabies. All dogs that were
bitten by this dog are liable to devel-
op rabies at any time within the next
ninety days and it is for this reason
that the Board of Health has issued
the new order.
Persons owning dogs should keep
close watch over their animals and if
they begin acting queerly they should
be shot without delay.
This same dog that went mad in
this city also run at large at Ashland
for day and similar order has been
issued at Ashland.
Amy person in the city who may
happen to be bitten by dog during
the next three months should consult
physician at once.

that would make their visit a pleasant
remembrance. At every point they
were shown farms that would COM
pare favorably with the farms of the
southern part of the state.
The purpose of the trip of the
bankers was to give them first hand
information of the value of this
region. More money for the develop
ment of the fertile north Wisconsin
region is needed and after the trip
just completed the bankers of the
southern part of the state will have
no hesitancy in lending money for
development of the New North.
The trip will do much to advertise
Northern Wisconsin to the outside
world.

The Northwestern Fuel COM
pany is installing a new pump
on their docks in this city for
fire protection. This is to take
the place of the steam pump
which has been in use on the
docks for years. Tt will be
operated by 100 h. p. electric
motor and the work will be com
pleted within the next week or
so.
This company has no other
means of fire protection than
their own pumps. The water
mains of the city do not extend
anywhere near the dock.

Wonders of North Wisconsin
Attract Bankers Attention
Bayfield, County's Fruit Or
chards an Eye-opener for
the Visitors.

The Southern Wisconsin bankers
who visited this section of Northern
Wisconsin during the past week have
returned to their homes thoroughly
convinced of the wonderful posi-
bilities of this region as fruit, dairy
and farming section. There were more
than one hundred of the bankers or
the trip and there was not one in the
whole lot that was not surprised al
the wonderful growth of this region.
The fruit section of Bayfield, coun-
ty was a revelation to most of the
visitors. They had hardly expected
to see such development in such Z
short time. All were thoroughly
convinced that this region will soor
be the leading fruit section of the
middle west.
At every point where stop wa
made the bankers were cordially re.
ceived and nothing was left undont
