MANY ATTENDING
COUNTY FAIR
Large Delegation from Here
Present Yesterday
Exhibits are Fine and Pro
gram Proved Very
Entertaining.

This week all roads lead to
Iron River where the annual
County Fair is being held. And
it is some fair. For many years
it has been growing until today
it is one Of the best County Fairs
held anywhere in Wisconsin.
Hundreds of outsiders. yearly at
tend this wonderful exhibition
of grains. grasses, garden truck,
fruit, live stock, etc. and also
witness the program of races
and other events which are
staged on the fair grounds.
Washburn's delegation this
year was a big one. Yesterday
was Washburn Day at the fair
and large numbers from this city
helped to make it the biggest in
point of attendance of any day
of the fair. A special train was
run over the Northern Pacific
railway yesterday morning leav-
ing the city at seven o'clock.
This train carried over fifty peo-
pie. The morning train over
the Omaha and Northern Pacific
by way of Ashland junction also
carried an equal number and
a dozen or more automobiles
from this city made the trip over
the new road carrying another
fifty or so. The Washburn City
Band furnished the music for
the last two days of the fair.
The season this year has been
somewhat backward to permit a
good showing of agricultural
products and for this reason this
exhibit was not nearly as large
as it was a year ago. The fruit
exhibit was also poor. But the
stock exhibit made up for the
shortage in other exhibits, it
being the best in years. The
exhibit of stock demonstrated
that this region is rapidly COM
ing to the front with fine cattle
sheep and swine. The poultry
exhibit was also good.
The attraction part of the pro-
gram was fine, consisting OF
horse racing, motor cycle races,
and other annl1SamentS.

Old Fashioned Raising Bee

The new house of Mr.. Anton
Johnson, on west 4th street,
sure put on some Zeppelin airs
when few of his friends
gathered Sunday morning, Sep
ember 18th, with saws and
ham mers to raise the house.
The piling and sills being laid
before hand "a Zeppelin balloon
has nothing on u.s. says Mr..
Fred Schuster, one of the party.
The building was raised and
ready to shingle in eight hours
in spite Of drilling rain. A
roster of the knights of the saw
and hammer is as follows:
Charles Stone, Frederick
Schuster, j. Simoneau. Gust
Lund, Ed. Hacrault, Olaf Softer,
+. Peterson, Axel Lund, Joe
Wickstrom, Otto Moe, A. L.
Warren, A. Coley, Victor Cross,
Mr.. Hay, and three or four
others whose names could not
be learned.
A nice lunch was served at
noon and a real, nice, hot dinner
was served to seventeen men at
Mr.. Johnson's present resi-
dence on Pine street when the
work for the day was completed
at 4 p, m. Good luck to Mr..
Johnson and family was the
omen of the gathering.

for the accommodation of i the
guards. There will be a first
class boarding camp, sleeping
quarters, reading room and
library, pool and billiard room,
etc.
The big plant is also being
fenced in with woven wire fenc-
ing eight feet in heighth. On
the top of this will be three
strands of barb wire which will
discourage any thought of at
tempting to scale the fence.
The right of way where this
fence is to be put around the
1900 acres Of land of the COM
pany is now being cleared and
this will be patroled by guards.
Lights will be placed on top of
the fence at distance of every
100 feet and the plant will be
light at night.
The company is taking every
precaution to protect their work
men. In former years the COM
pany has had some trouble in
keeping hunters from their land
but as soon as the fence has been
established this trouble will be
eliminated.
When the fence is completed
only members of the force and
persons having business with
the company will be permitted
to visit the plant.

Citizens Come to the Res
cue and Put up Cash
Which Sends Car of Exhibits
on to the State Fair
at Milwaukee.

Bayfield, county's exhibit to
the State Fair at Milwaukee was
halted last week just before the
car was started on it's way to
Milwaukee by an injunction
which prevented the County
Clerk from issuing the order
with which to pay the expenses.
This action came at the eleventh
hour, after the car had been
loaded and was ready to go out.
The serving of the injunction
delayed the car from going out
on the afternoon train but
citizens interested in having a
county exhibit at the state fair
came to the rescue and put up
the necessary cash with which
to pay the expenses. The car
was started for Milwaukee last
Friday evening.
At a meeting of the County
Board held last spring the sum
of $500 was appropriated with
which to get up an exhibit for
the state fair. The injunction
seeks to stop the payment of
this order.

Bids are Equal

A meeting of the Board OF
Public Works of the city of
Washburn was held at the City
Clerks Office on Wednesday
evening to open bids for the lay
ing of all cement walks in the
city where the grade has been
established and the fill made by

sented to the Board, one being
from Frank Johnson and the
other from Pete Peterson.
Both of the bids were equal,
each being at the price of lie
per square foot. The Board took
no action in awarding contracts.

city of Washburn has been al
the rate of 10c per square foot

Highway Commission Orders
it off County System
Refuses to Allow County
Board to Adopt II Miles
on West End.

County Clerk Nels M. Oscar
received a report on Saturday
from the Highway Commission
at Madison stating that they had
approved the action of the Coun-
ty Board of Bayfield, county in
taking the Wannebo road off the
county system of highways.
This will be anything but pleas
ant news to the many people
who have fought to have this
retained as a part of the county
system.
The decision of the Highway
Commission followed a hearing
conducted in this city at which
both sides were heard on this
question. The fight between the
| two factions in Bayfield, county
| for and against this road has
been carried on for period of
three years. The people OF this
city and the north part of Bay
| field county wanted this road
made the connecting link in the
highway between Douglas coun-
|ty and the Chequamegon Bay
district. The people of Ashland,
who by the way have always
been more or less interested in
where Bayfield, county spends
her money. and the residents of
the southern part of the county
Fwante,l the highway to run along
the north side of the Northern
Pacific track from Iron River to
Ashland junction. Last fall this
road, after being made a part of
the county system for some time,
was ordered taken off the county
system. The action of the coun-
ty board had to be approved by
the Highway Commission but a
hearing was first held. 1t is now
likely that the decision is final.
The Commission also refused
to allow the County Board to
place on the county system the
twelve miles of road on the west
end of the route between this
city and Iron River.
The Wannebo route is the
straight road between the Che
quamegon Bay district and the
Douglas county line. 1t is the
route that leads from the west
ern part of the county to the
County Seat. The road which is
now made a part of the county
system and the connecting link
in the trunk road leads direct to
| Ashland and of course the deci-
sion of the Highway Commission
in refusing to make the Wannebo
road the connecting link will be
welcome to the people of that
/ citv.

Fumes Caused a Display

The people in this city were
given the idea that the DUPONT
plant at Barksdale suffered
damage by fire last Saturday
afternoon and reports were
current about the city that one
of the new triton plants had
burned down. The reports
however proved to be false.
What was thought to be smoke
was fumes from one of the acid
lines which had sprung a leak.
This caused quite a display
making a number of employees
and others believe there had
been a big fire at the plant.

Especial star-BuiIet,n Correspondence,


mAILUKU, Feb. 13-Maui Republi-
cans held one of the most interesting
county conventions known in the his
tory of Maui. Many staunch follow
ers CT the party claim that 1t was the
most important convention ever held
and that the platform adopted will
bring about a change that will be a
great benefit to the county govern
ment
Just how far reaching such a meas
ure will extend, and also hoy much
of this platform the people will be
willing to adopt remains to be seen.
That the changes are radical no one
will deny. The various, clauses of the
platform promise that the new form
Of government will be most efficient
Aid for homesteaders Is urged, good
roads favored, and law for coopera-
tive corporations urged. The county
manager plan is something entirely
new. Short ballot, recall and non-par-
tisan primary are agreed upon and
lastly the most radical Of all changes
namely, that hereafter Maui have
seven supervisors instead of five.
