Held at Court House IN
This City Tuesday
Road Matters Occupy Atten-
tion of County Fathers
During the Day.

A special meeting of the Coun-
ty Board of Bayfield, county was
called to order at the court house
in this city Tuesday morning by
Chairman C. HI. Werden, the
meeting having been called to
make the apportionment of the
county road work to be done un-
der the State Aid law during the
year 1915. Nearly all members
of the board were present at the
meeting.
The following is some of the
business taken up:
A resolution was introduced by
c.. HI. Werden to set aside the
sum of $4,000 from the general
road levy for making permanent
improvements on the county sys-
tenn of highways under the State
Aid law. After some discussion
this resolution was finally killed.

A Marrow Escape

Two of the children of Mr.. and
Mrs. Louis Christensen of west
Pine street had a narrow escape
from being badly injured in
a runaway accident Monday
afternoon at about four O'clock.
The little children were being
hauled in a wheelbarrow by one
of their older brothers, who
noticed a runaway horse coming
at a rapid rate down the alley
near the Post Office. The elder
boy left his two brothers in the
wheelbarrow and made his escape
to the side of the road. The
wheels of the wagon hit the
wheelbarrow, dumping the
children out into the ravine at
the side of the alley, but aside
from the slight bruises and a few
scratches they were not injured.

Str. Philbin Carrying 10000
Tons of Coal
One of the Biggest Steamers
Ever in Port. Coal Com
ing at Rapid Rate.

The Steamer Philbin, one of
the largest steamers to unload
coal at the docks of the North
western Fuel company in this
city, was here the first of the
week discharging a cargo of
10000 tons of soft coal. This
boat was 504 feet in length with
a 81 foot beam. 1t had barely
room to get into the docks of the
Fuel company here and had to
leave the dock and turn around
in order to get the unloading rigs
into the matches. The unloading
was done by electricity and it is
said that some record breaking
days were made in the handling
of coal.
It is expected that work on the
docks from this time on until the
close of navigation will be un-
usually brisk. Coal will be COM
ing in at rapid rate and the coal
officials expect to fill the docks
this fall.
Coal shipments during the
summer months were unusually
quiet and the company took ad-
vantage of the slack time to in
stall the electric power on the
docks. With the electrical motors
now in use more than 500 h. p.
can be developed and coal can be
handled more rapidly than ever
before.

Installing Fire Pump

A Mr.. Larson is here from
Superior and is installing a new
fire pump on the docks of the
Northwestern Fuel company in
this city. The new pump will
be operated by electric power.
AS soon as the pump has been
installed and is in working order
il is understood that the steam
plant which has been in use on
the docks for years would be
dismantled.
The fuel docks in this city are
now entirely equipped with elec-
tricity and are quite modern IN
every respect.

D. J. Estabrook has been dis.
playing some fine field corn this
week which was grown on his
land east of the city. The corn
is of the flint and Northwestern
dent variety and is thoroughly
ripe. Each year Mr.. Estabrook
succeeds in getting corn ripe
lust a little bit earlier than any
one else and for some time he
has had ripe corn and the corn
displayed this week was ex-
ceptionally fine.

$50 for injuries received by Har-
vey Demars as a result of the
above accident was also asked

$4,000 FOR LONG
BRIDGE ROUTE
Committee Believes That
Will Complete Work
Amount Made Available by
County Board at Meeting
Held Tuesday.

Favorable progress is now be-
ing made on the Long Bridge
route at the head of the bay and
it is now expected that the work
will be completed in satisfactory
manner by the middle or latter
part of the month of October.
The committee, under whose
direction this work is being done,
believe that with the expenditure
of an additional $4,000 this bridge
route will be in first class shape
and they recommended this ad-
ditional appropriation at the
meeting of the County Board
Tuesday and the same was
granted.
Below we publish the report of
the special bridge committee
which will be of a great deal OF
interest to the people who have
been interested in the building
of this bridge. From the COM
mittee's report it will be seen
that the cost of the completion
| of the bridge will amount to
about $4,000 to Bayfield, county.
The following is the commit
tees report:
To the Honorable County Board
of Supervisors, Bayfield, County:
Your committee having in
charge the building of what is
known as the Long Bridge
road beg leave to submit the
following report:
AS advised in our last report, a
contract was made with the
Hennepin Bridge Co. of Mime
apolis, Minn., as the lowest bid
der, for the construction of two
steel bridges, one a so foot span,
the other a one hundred and
twenty foot span; the plans and
specifications for which were
furnished by the Wisconsin High
way Commission. The contract
price for these two bridges was
So, $4,000.
These bridges have been built,
have been accepted by the High
way Commission and your com
mittee, and payment has been
made by the county in accordance
with the terms of our contract.
The contract for the filling in
of the approaches to these bridges
and making connection with the
old road was let to Eben Olson,
as the lowest bidder, for 81 900.
Owing to unfavorable weather
jconditions and other unforeseen
difficulties, this part of the work
is not as yet completed.
| Favorable progress is now be.
ling made and it is expected that
the work contemplated in the
original contract with Olson will
be completed by October 10th tx

A LOCAL FAIR
AND EXHIBIT
To be Held Here in lie
Near Future
Being Arranged by High
School Agricultural
Department.

The announcement of Superin-
tendent 7. O. Chew Of the Wash
burn High School to the effect
that a fair and exhibit of farm
and garden products will be held
here in the near future will be
welcomed by the people of this
city and the surrounding country
who have been unable to attend
the bigger fairs held in this part
of the state, for it will afford
them an opportunity to see just
what can be grown on the soils
around Washburn and it will also
afford local exhibitors an oppor-
tunity of showing just what they
are growing around here.
1t is the intention to hold the
exhibit and fair in the Walker
High school building and exhibits
will be arranged in the same
manner as at the fairs. There
is to be exhibits of fruit, garden
truck, flowers, grains, vegetables
butter, cheese, poultry, fancy
work etc., the only thing that
will probably be lacking is the
exhibit of live stock although
this may be arranged for.
This is to be an exhibit and
fair for all of the people in the
territory surrounding the city
and all are invited to bring in
ttheh exhibits for the fair. A
more detailed announcement will
be given at a later date.
| There will be judges for the
exhibits and blue and red ribbons
will be given to those having the
best exhibits. 1t will be a big
fair on a small scale. There will
be program and if arrange
ments can be made the City Band
will furnish music for the
occasion.
/ In addition to the exhibit there
will be an educational feature to
| the fair and tests will be made
in milk testing, seed selecting,
seed testing, etc. by the Agri-
cultural department of the high
school.
| The arrangements for the fair
will be fl charge of Prof. Harri-
son of the Agricultural Depart
ment of the schools who will be

and other teachers.

quested to take an interest tc

in a fair and this is a start in thu
right direction. 1t will nroue Il

IOLIl.
During the progress of this
work it became evident to the
committee and representatives of
the Highway Commission that
the engineers who prepared the
plans and specifications for this
work had not fully provided for
the protection of the work from
the rise and fall of water in the
bay, which this year has been of
much wider range than at any
former time.
Realizing this condition, your
committee, acting in conjunction
with representatives of the High
way Commission, have arranged
for the raising of the grade above
normal water level, two feet
higher than was provided in
original contract, and at an ad-
ditional cost of 81, ,O50.00.
To further safeguard and pro-
tect the fills, we have arranged
for the building of four short
lines of breakwater, which ex-
tend about sixty feet out from
the shore line, and which in pro-
tective shore work are called
"groynes." These groynes pre-
vent the washing away of the
shore line and assist in forming
bars which in a short time fill in
and form natural breakwaters.
1t will also be necessary to
riprap with stone two points on
the shore line, also the abutment
on west end of the 120 foot span
bridge.
With this additional protection
we feel that the road you in
structed us to build will be found
satisfactory in every way when
completed.
The appropriation, together
with the amount of State Aid to
which we were entitled, made
available for this work, approx
mately SIS, 100000 The contracts
made when the work was started
committed the County to pay
ment of $15,5 $4,000. To fully
complete and safeguard this
work, in accordance with the
plans of your Committee as out
lined above, will require at least
So, 100000, and we recommend that
your honorable body at this meet
ing take such action as may be
necessary to make this amount
available for the completion of
this work.
All of which is respectfully
submitted.

them the benefit Of my experience.
Why should not man be beautl-
full? Why should the mere sug-
gestion raise a jeer in an ordinary
gathering? Let us think a little
seriously Of these questions.
Is it not mere modern vulgarity to
object to the word beautiful" as
applied to a man? People commonly
speak Of men they admire as hand
some" II we inquire we find that
they describe certain policemen, ath-
letes, and various men who are moth
ing but fine, large specimens Of AMI
mality as handsome" On the other
hand, persons of real artistic taste
never speak OF an ancient Hermes or
Apollo as handsome" They call
them beautiful. Therefore, 1t is a
nobfer thing to be beautiful than
handsome. and one should not be

Mary HAD Little True Story Of Its Escapade and Useful End

Mary lived on her fathers farm
until she was married to Mr.. Co
