Business is Good

The Times man visited a num-
Der Of stores in the city this
week in order to make inquiry
as to business conditions this
spring and everywhere we were
greeted with the remark that
business was fine, One dealer
said business had never been
better and that he was having
hard work TO keep up with the
work. He said it was simply
immense and could hardly be
improved upon. Another grocery
de@lar said that with his force
Of four he was unable to keep uE
with tile orders. He said it was
simply a fright the way business
was picking up.
No where could business
man be found who did not say
business was good and nearly
everyone put emphasis on the
remarks.
How different conditions in
Washburn are from other places
about the country where bust
ness is not so good. Travelling
men coming from all parts O
the country and beginning to tall
about Washburn and the effec'
of this constant boosting is be
ginning to be felt.

Paid Their Fines

On Saturday evening of last
week Patrolman Joe Arseneau
and Deputy Nels Ness broke up
a little "booze" party on west
main street when they placed
under arrest a number of per.
sons for being drunk and dis
orderly. Those arrested were
Oscar Holman, Tom Tompson,
Ole Flonness, L. Beauleau and
Wallace Bushey. A trial of the
cases on the charge of being
drunk and disorderly was had
before Municipal Judge Calder
the first of the week and a fine
of $500 was imposed in all cases
except that of L. Beauleau, who
paid the costs. Those arrested
said the boose had been brought
from Ashland.
The authorities Of the city are
determined to break up these
booze parties and the council
has instructed the police officers
to see that the orders are carried
ont. Many arrests are expected
to follow unless the practice is
stopped.
For some time parties have
been going over to Ashland and
down to Nash and returning to
this city, loaded down with
booze, which has been distribut-
ed among their friends. The
failure of the police department
to cause arrests has led these
parties to become more bold and
it is even said that booze has
been distributed from one of
the stores of the city. The par
ties have now been given due
warning and the police officers
expect to follow out the in
structions of the council in put
/, ting a stop to this traffic in
booze.

The N .wspaper's Courage

Once in a while somebody gets the
idea That the reason the local paper
does not report every scandal that
comes to public knowledge is because
the publisher is afraid. That's not the
reason. The reputable newspaper
esDeciallv in small town where
everyone is neighbor to everyone
else, takes no delight in giving pub
licitv to those thinge that have
brought disgrace to some family or
heartache to some wife OF mother.
It is much more pleasant to record
the good things that happen, to tell
about the incidents that tend to
make life more endurable, and that
unIift rather than tear down, that
bring Joy instead of sorrow, pride
instead of heartache. So if you
don't always find in The Times the
delectable bit of gossip that would
doubtless make 9 good reading, +" and
If YOU are inclined to blame the
editor because he doesn't print all
the news" consider that some home
has had enough worry over untor-
tunate happenings, aud that the
gossips and scandal mongers OF the
community can and will gladly and
ghouiishly give sufficient publicity
to the details to satisfy the lowest
tastes. incidentally. it might be re-
marked here that the most complaint
of censored news comes from people
who have now or have had in their
lives some things they are very glad
were not given newspaper publicity
There come times, of course, when
It is the definite business of the loca
newspaper TO. speak right out II
meeting, to tell what happened, tt
give open publicity to conditions
that are a reproach to community
and for which the light of publicity
seems the only cure. Tolerance /:
not lack of courage.

He Likes This Country

George B. Lea Quse, propri-
etor of the Neatly hotel here, re-
turned last week from visit in
Washburn, Wisconsin, where he
owns valuable farm. In speak
Ing of the farming possibilities
of Bayfield,. Wisconsin. Mr.. Lea
Quee said:
Things as they really are is
what is going to take place
sometime in June. Fruit lands
in Bayfield, county is a proven
fact now that the country has
reached the stage that it is not
an experiment or guess work.
Seeing is believing. | returned
from Washburn the first of the
month after spending seventeen
days in planting fruit trees of
various varieties and all sorts of
berries such as strawberries,
red raspberries, golden rasp.
berries, and black caps and red,
white and black currants and
four varieties of grapes. 7 also
have five apple trees that I re-
moved from my lot here a year
ago that were eight years old
and with the care I gave them
last year l find this year they
will be overloaded with apples.
I must admit that it was care
that saved these trees, as they
were all budded out when [
transplanted them. This trans.
planting business I call an ex-
pertinent. I was told by many
in the fruit raising business
that I would never save them
but they are there to be shown
and are loaded down with fine
fruit. What I did others can
do if they will only give them
the care and that is what
counts. Anyone wishing to see
these fruit lands and enjoy a fine
trip around the Apostle Islands,
will be welcomed to do so. The
trip will be one long to be re
membered and the expense for
the benefit that ultimately will
be derived is consequential"
