RAINS HELP MORE
THAN HURT CROPS
Farmers from ALI Over the State Say
the Prospects We're Never Bet
ter Than Now.
TIME TO REPLANT THE CORN

Splendid" Simply grand" and
the best ever" is the way Nebraska's
crop prospects are described by
farmers from out in the state who are
in Omaha for day or two on busi-
ness.
In spite of slight damage done
listed corn by the excessive rains of
the last two or three days. and in
spite of flood water in some Of the
river valleys. all the farmers agree
that 1t is not too late to remedy the
slight damage to corn, and as to the
winter wheat prospects, they assert
that they never we're better.
z. T. Left witch. member OF the State
Board of Agriculture and owner of big
farms near st. Paul and De Soto de-
ciared at the Merchants hotel that a ound
81 Paul the crop prospects are better
than for years past
Expect Bumper Crop.
Favorable winter conditions, the late
SHOWS and the generous rains have given
us hopes Of reaping a bigger harvest than
ever before" he said. 81 am told by all
the farmers in the community, and also
Know it from my own observation. that
prospects are simply grand. Up to
week ago we had more rain at st. Paul
than Omaha had and we've had plenty
since then, too"
He had just come in from his farm at
dc Soto. and although told by the rail-
road conductor that from Oakland 70
Tyson there was flood water, washouts
and too much water on the Iovland
fields he predicted that the damage to
corn prospects would not be serious.
Rains Most Beneficial.
Even though the listed corn washes
badly in burrows. it is not too late "a
replant the comparatively small areas
that will need such treatment" he as
serted. THE rains will help rather than
hurt the winter wheat, and will have
little or no effect on alfalfa, except to
make the later cuttings all the better.
Outside the flooded districts we never
had better prospects than now"
Among other farmers at the Merchants
who voiced similar opinions were Harry
Williams OF Gothenburg, c. Ellington OF
Brunswick and Nat Houston of La Platte.
Ellington said that in the northern part
of the state every farmer was rejoicing
over the big rains. Dan Gaines, pro-
prietor Of the Merchants said he had
heard many other farmers tell OF glow
ing crop prospects as a result of the pre-
eipitation. He also has several farms

II. r. Mackmiller of Iron River
who has the contract for putting
up the cement blocks for the
addition to the store of M. P.
Doyle, has had a crew of men
busy during the past week
putting up the blocks and this
part of the work will be COM

building will be turned over to
the carpenters for completion.
Frank Johnson of this city
has the contract for putting in
the cement walls under the main
store and also for putting in the
cement floor.
It is expected that this build
ing will be completed in the
course of the next two or three
weeks and it will give the M. P.
Doyle store much needed room
for their increasing stock.
1t is the plan to rearrange
the interior of the main store as
soon as the addition has been
completed. The alcony in the
store will be taken out and some
other arrangement made for a
millinery department. A mod
ern heating plant will also be
installed before the present
work is completed.

Andrew Williamson Dies at
Hospital
Was Injured by Fall from
Buggy Last Saturday
Morning.

Andrew Williamson, a veteran
of the Civil War who has been
engaged in farming in the town
| of Washburn, died at the St.
Joseph hospitsl at Ashland last
Thursday evening where he was
taken to receive treatment. The
cause of Mr.. Williamson's death
was a hemorrage of the brain.
A week ago Friday Mr..
Williamson had been to town to
do some work and while return
ing home it is supposed that he
was thrown from his wagon as a
quick turn in the road was made.
Mr.. Williamson was not found
until Saturday morning and he
was unconscious at the time.
Physicians were called and Mr..
Williamson was taken to his
home where he remained until a
few days later when he was
taken to the St. Joseph hospital
at Ashland. 1t was then learned
that Mr.. Williamson's skull had
been fractured by the fall and
death resulted Thursday even
ing.
It is not known whether Mr..
Williamson's fall from the wa
gon caused the hemmorhage or
whether he had the hemmorh-
age which caused unconscious
ness which caused him to fall
from the wagon but the suppos-
ition of physicians is that he be-
came i'll and fell from the wa
gon, where he lay until found by
neighbors the following morn
ing.
Mr.. Williamson was 66 years
| of age at the time of death. He
was a veteran of the Civil War,
having served in the Union army
during the last few years of the
war. For the past three years
or more he has been engaged in
farming in the town of Wash
burn. ~.
The funeral was held this af-
ternoon from the Hansen I'm
dertaking parlors.

Bombardment in Northern
WOODS Resemble War Zone
Hunters are Numerous and so
are the Deer. One Buck
Law in Force.

For the next twenty days the
woods of Bayfield, county, and
for that matter the north end of
the state, will resemble the
battle fields of Europe on small
scale for there will be a bonn
bardment carried on during the
next twenty days by hunters
who are seeking to bring down
| a denizen of the forest. The
reason for this bombardment
starting today is that the open
season for the killing Of deer
began this morning one hour
after day light and will continue
until the evening of the thirtieth
of November.
For several days hunters have
been leaving for the woods and
large numbers are also coming
in from points in the southern
part of the state. The woods
are now filled with hunters.
Deer are said to be quite
plentiful in the woods of Bay
field county this season but there
is not the enthusiasm among the
hunters that there has been
during the past seasons. This
diminishing of the "fever" has
been caused by the one buck
law passed at the last session of
the State Legislature. This sea-
son each hunter is permitted to
kill only one buck deer, and on
account of this law every hum
ter must know that he is shoot
itg at a male deer before ne
fires.
The woods of the northern
part of the state are to be
swarmed with wardens repre-
nenting the State Conservation
Commission whose duty it will
be to see that the laws are not
violated.
Hunters should use the same
care in going into the woods
that they have used during the
past few seasons in order to pre-
vent accidents. Hunters should
wear bright colored clothing in
order that they may not be taken
for deer or other wild animal.
Care should also be taken in
handling fire arms about the
camps for a large number OF ac-
cidents are caused each year
through carelessness.

O. w. Frost Answers Death
Summons Tuesday
Was a Prominent Business
Man in Washburn for Twen-
ty-five Years.

1t was with great sadness that
the people of Washburn received
the news of the sudden death Of
Quincy w. Frost, pioneer drug
gist, whose death occurred at 5:45
o'clock on Tuesday afternoon.
The cause of Mr.. Frost's death
was apoplexy.
For more than a year Mr..
Frost has been troubled with
attacks of apoplexy and it was
due to this cause that he gave up
active business life about a year
ago. After each attack he would
seem to get as strong as ever
again and the outdoor life of the
past summer seemed to agree
with him. On Tuesday after
noon he was engaged in light
work about the yard at his home
and about 800 O'Clock he went
into the house complaining OF
feeling i'll. Mr.. Frost thought
it was only a passing illness but
as he seemed to grow worse Mrs.
Frost called the physician and
when he arrived at the home it
was determined that Mr.. Frost's
end was near. At 5:45 o'clock
he answered the call of the grim
reaper and passed to the life
above.
The funeral services will be
held from the residence on 4th
street tomorrow afternoon at 2
o'clock, Rev. o. w. Smith, pastor
of the First Congregational
church, officiating. Interment
will be in the city (Woodland)
cemetary.
Mr.. Quincy w. Frost was born
in Edgar county, Illinois, August
1st, 1858, and was 81 years, 3
months and 9 days old at the
time Of death. On April End,
1890, at Westfeld, ILL.,, he was
married to Margaret Belle Evin-
ger. The couple came to Wash
burn on their wedding trip where
Mr.. Frost engaged in the drug
store business with Mr.. E. S.
Owen, formerly Of this city.
He continued at the head of
this firm for many years, later
taking over the business which
he conducted until April of this
year, when he sold his interests
to Mr.. B. A. Wiechmann. Prev
ious to selling his business MIR.
Frost suffered an attack of apo
plexy and it was upon the ad-
vice of relatives and friends
that caused him to consider CIV
ing up his active business life.

PAVING UP AT
CLUB MEETING
nth usi astic Meeting Held
Friday Night
Preliminary Plans Made for
Paving the Streets of
Washburn.

and property holders are alive
to the need of paving the main
streets of the city was demon
strated at a meeting held at the
Commercial Club rooms on Fri
day evening of last week when
consulting engineers, material
men, contractors, etc. were
present for the purpose of tell
ing the business men of this city
something regarding the paving
proposition.
The business men of the city
realize that the time to pave the
streets of the city is NOW and
in order that there may be no
delay in deciding the question
the matter has been taken up by
the Club members. Action was
taken to appoint committees to
get the signatures of property
owners to pave and these are
being secured this week and
their report will be made at a
meeting to be held on Friday
evening of this week. AS we
understand it a large number of
property owners along Bayfield,
street are in favor of the move
ment.
The plan as outlined at the
meeting held Friday night is to
pave Bayfield, street from the
Washington avenue corner to 1st
avenue east and then to follow
up the work the coming years
by taking bigger stretches of
the street.
Just what material will be
used in the paving will have to
be determined by the property
owners when the proper time
comes. All necessary details
will be worked Iout by the Club
leading up to this point.
Mr.. A. C. Reichardt, a con-
sulting engineer who has had
charge of paving work in several
cities in Wisconsin during the
past year or more, was present
and gave the club members some
valuable information regarding
paving. Mr.. Reichardt took
street levels, etc. the day fol-
lowing the meeting in order that
plans and specifications may be
drawn before bids for the paving
are submitted to contractors.
Others present at the meeting
were E. A. Dolan representing
the Portland cement company,
and O. C. Olson of Minneapolis
representing the Kettle River
company, manufacturers of Gre
sote blocks. Contractor L. E.
Baum of Superior was also pres
ent. Mr.. Baum has had charge
of a paving job done at Superior
during the past season. During
the day several other contractors
were also here but left because
the city was not yet ready to
advertise for bids and they will
be back again before that time
comes.
The citizens of Washburn be-
lieve that the time is ripe to
start improvements that will
tend to impr owe the looks of the
city and paving is one of the
things planned. The white way
will in all probability follow.
