The Brodhead Fair has con.

The Brodhead Fair has con.
tracted with one Mr.. Dennis to
make Balloon ancensions each
day Of the Fair, it will be re-
membered that Mr.. Dennis was
here some fifteen years ago, and
went so high that his balloon was
lost and found four miles east of
Brodhead three days after the fair.
To those not knowing this to be
fact may doubt this statement,
but it is nevertheless trne. His
balloon was found in the Pine
woods near Hickory Grove.
IF there is a man that loves to
soar above the clouds and will
do ID. it is this man, and If nothing
happens you will have possibly
the last chance to see him this
wear.
The attraction is old but where
is the man woman or child that
does not like to watch it.

The Mt. Vernon fair has come
and gone. From a standpoint of
fine weather, an enjoyable time
and splendid exhibit was a great
success. but from a standpoint of
finance, it was not what was ex-
pected. 1t was predicted that the
primary election coming just
after the fair would keep many
away and sure enough it did.
The attendance was very much
smaller than ever before and all
due to the fact that the report
got circulated that there would
be an overa5undance of "booze"
and a regular knock down and
drag out time. A mole quiet
gathering was never had and
there was as little drinking on
the grounds.
There is nothing else to it, but
that the fair was the victim of cir,
cnmstances and caught a hot dea'

we will give a list ofthe winners

MUNICIPAL
XMAS TREE
WaShburn to Hold First One
This Year
Council Appoints Committee
to Look After the Work.
Much Interest.

Much interest is centered in
Washburn's first municipal
Christmas tree. Alderman Henry
Johnson started the "ball roll
ing" Tuesday evening when he
addressed the council in favor of
such a proposition and Mayor
Bryan appointed a committee of
three, consisting of Aldermen
Henry Johnson and James A.
Sheridan and City Clerk l.. N.
Clausen to look after the work
of making the first municipal
tree a grand success. The gen.
tlemen have asked the churches
and lodges of the city to cooper
ate and to make it one of the
biggest things that has ever been
held in the city.
The plan of Mr.. johnson is to
have a monster Christmas tree
established on some prominent
square in the city and to have
| it decorated with lights, trim
mings, etc. and to have exercises
appropriate for the occasion.
The exercises will be held in the
evening and when the exercises
have been finished candy and
fruit will be distributed among
the children of the city. There
will be the old 'fasficat1 Santa
Claus in evidence to cheer the
hearts of the little tots.
These municipal Christmas
trees are for all of the people Of
every denomination and creed
and all are asked to help in max
ing it a grand success. 1t is one
| of the moves toward promoting
q better community spirit and
let's all join in making it grand
success.

sen Of this city to accept the
pastorate of the Ashland church.

visited there was a unanimous
opinion in favor of the improve
ment. And residents of Ash
land and Bayfield,, who are also
owners of property in the dis
trict, have shown their faith in
the city for they were as en-
thusiastic over the paving as
was any local person.
In presenting the petition the
property owners were asked to
state the kind of pavement
wanted and two of the best
types were selected, the one be-
ing cresote blocks, the most ex-
pensive type Of pavement on the
market, and the other asphaltic
reinforced concrete, which is
now being used in many Of the
cities of the country.
In advertising for bids the
council will ask for prices on the
five different types of pavement
ann after this is done the Ques-
tion will be put up to the pro-
perty owners and in case they
decide not to name the type of
pavement THE will be decided
by the common council.
In starting the work early and
getting the legal phases of the
question disposed of the city
will be able to get a much better
price on paying than if they
waited until later in the year.
The street levels, etc. have al
ready been taken and the city
is in a position to go ahead with
plans.
One of the first things the city
should do is to employ the SER
vices of a competent engineer
will see to it that the interests
of the city are properly safe
guarded and that the best kind
of material is used and the work
done property. We feel conf
dent that the council will do
this.
There are few cities in the
country whose prospects for a
bright future are so encouraging
as Washburn and with all of the
business interests pulling in the
same direction for a bigger and
better city. The time is not far
distant when we can boast of a
city that will be one of the best
in the country. Lets's keep up
the good work.
