In Fire at Benoit Last Sun
day Afternoon
Children Left Alone in Home
Set Fire and are
SuffOcated.

Three of the children of Mr..
and Mrs. Peter Culinovie of
Benoit were smothered to death
last Sunday afternoon in a fire
at their home. The ages of the
children were four years, three
years, and six months, respective
ly.
Sunday noon the father left
home, going to Benoit, and he
was not expected to return home
until eight o'clock that evening.
Shortly after the father left the
house Mrs. Culinovie, desirous of
paying a visit to a neighbor, de-
parted from the house after
locking the three children in.
The match box evidently was in
easy reach and from indications
one of the children started a fire
in the wood box back of the
stove. There was paper in the
wood box and it's ignition started
fire to the wood, which it appears
was slightly wet and made a
very dense smoke. The smoke
from the wood and paper filled
the house, which was small one
and the children having no
means of escape were caught

In the Appeal From the
Equalization in Bayfield, Co.
Towns Making Appeal are
Sustained and Landraint's
Figures Will Stand.

Inc county BOarQ members
and the equalization committee
ought to soon learn that it does
not pay to change the figures of
Income Assessor William Land
raint when it comes to making
the equalization for Bayfield,
county. During the past two
years when the figures have been
changed an appeal has been
made by the towns which were
equalized higher with the result
that the Tax Commission has
sustained the appeal and the
figures of Mr.. Landraint have
been retained as being the correct
figures for the equalization.
This is just what has happened
again this year in the appeal of
the towns of Barksdale, Pilsen
and Lincoln asking for a redeter-
mination and re-equalization of
the taxable property of Bayfield,
county.
The hearing on the appeal was
held in this city last July and as
is usually the case the towns
which might be effected if the
appeal was sustained, were not
represented at the hearing. A
decision of the Tax Commission
has been received by County
Clerk Oscar during the past,week
which shows that the figures of
Income Assessor Landraint will
have to be used for it has been
so determined by the Tax Com
mission.
The city of Washburn, the city
of Bayfield, and the town of Bay
field were lowered by the County
Board Equalization committee
and the Tax Commission has
ordered that the eqalization of
Washburn be raised $4,000, the
city of Bayfield, $4,000 and the
town of Bayfield, $4,000. The
town of Barksdale is lowered
$4,000, the town of Lincoln
$4,000, and the town of Pilsen
$40, 900.
The cost of the appeal amount
ing to something over $100 will
have to be borne by the towns
whose equalizations were raised
and the difference will also be
charged to them on this years
levy.
The County Board also appoint
ed a committee to determine the
value of the dynamite plant at
Barksdale and the cost Of
this committee has been about
$500 to Bayfield, county which
will have to be borne by the
taxpayers.
The members of the County
Board from the city of Washburn
should fight any attempt tc
change Landraint's figures this
year unless there is some chance
of making the equalization as
placed by the County Board
stand. During the past two
years when the equalization OF
the city has been changed we
have failed to benefit by it for
an appeal has been taken each
Eyear and additional expense has
been piled unto the city.

of it's kind ever expressed
 R. F. Roth in speaking of the les son taught by the Civil war declar- ed that liberty comes to us just as We are prepared to receive it. He declared that we must grow in or der to obtain and keep liberty. and as We grow in the future We will enjoy more political freedom. Re garding the war, he said that he was born in the North, and that he believed that the people of the North were just as much to blame for the war as were those of the South, for he said that when slaves were first introduced, there were more of them in the North than in the South. The war resulted from the sale of the Northern slaves to the Southern CTS, who objected to the interfer- ence of the North in regulating them, he said.
 C. Ellis Gardner, the new assistant district attorney who recently arriv- ed in Fairbanks from his North Carolina home. paid pleasing tri- bute to the soldiers of both the North and the South who had fought in the Civil war and incidentally he complimented himself on having come to this place, where he found as good class of people as can be found in any community in the country.
 After the exercises at Eagle hall were completed, the crowd formed line and with the bugler and flag in lead. marched to the cemetery. There A R. Heilig made patriotic address, in which he made reference to the marines that were recently killed in Vera Cruz, Mexico, as a result of the effort of the United States to make the Mexicans honor the flag. MT. Heilis is a veteran of the Civil war.
 After MT. Heilig spoke, the Rev. .G. G. Bruce, pastor of the Presby- terian church, offered prayer Then taps was sounded, the salute fired, and the decoration of graves took place.

Memorial Day Is Fitting|y Celebrated Patriotism and E|oquence Are Features

Memorial Day was fittingly ob- served Saturday by exercises at Eagle hall followed by further eX- erCises at the cemetery the blowing Of taps" and firing of salute over the graves of soldiers by a squad of two veterans of the Civil war and two veterans of the Span ish-American war, and the decora- ton of graves.
 The exercises at Eagle hall con sisted of patriotic songs and speech es. at the close of which the school children joined in singing America" /" Guy B. Erwin presided.
 The exercises were opened with prayer by Rev. J. J. Patton. pastor of the Methodist church. This was followed by a song by the double quartette. which provided nearly all the musical part of the program
 Marshal L. T Erwin delivered the first address. in which he explained how the North and the South have been reunited. Although a native of the South, MT Erwin declared that the war had terminated for the best interests of the entire nation, and he eloquently eulogized the memory of the men who had taken part in the strife.
 L. R. Gillette. assistant district attorney, who was the second speak CT. declared that although the slaves had been freed, the people of the country will never be free as long as they are under the bondage of commercialism. Character, he said. knows no Mason and Dixon line.
 Following Mr Gillette's speech, Lincoln's Gettysburg address was recited by George Herring.
 Judge F. E. Fuller, in a short speech. declared that he had never realized what the soldiers of the Civil war had to contend with until he had visited the battle ground at Gettysburg with veteran who had fought there, and had had the not able conflict described to him. He feelingly referred to Lincoln's Gcttys- hI1ro Snapph as inc greatest thin .
