Taxpayers who are interested
in the welfare of the city should
pay their taxes before the roll is
turned over to the county in
order that the city may be able
to get the county school tax
amounting to something like
81, 900. Treasurer Nels Lee an
nounces that in order to get back
the county school tax it will be
necessary for him to collect over
$3.50 of the roll. Up to the
present time he has collected
over $31, 900.
People who let their taxes go
delinquent pay more and at the
same time the city does not get
back the money which rightfully
belongs to it. By letting the
taxes go delinquent 1t is a loss to
yourself and the city.
Every resident taxpayer, who
can possibly do so, should pay
their taxes before the 18th of
the present month, the time the
roll will be turned over to the
county treasurer.

New Boiler Fired for First
Time Today
Work on Institution is Being
Rushed. Will be Making
Butter Soon.

In the course of the next few
days the White Rose Creamery,
Washburn's new institution, will
be doing business. The new
boiler was steamed up for the
first time today and from now on
work will be rushed and it is ex-
pected that the plant will be
making butter within a very few
days.
Some delay has been caused on
account of the change in the
boiler plant. The old boiler
which was located in the build
ing was found to be defective
and new boiler had to be put
in in it's place. The work of
tearing out the old boiler and the
putting in of the new one has
caused considerable delay but
this difficulty has now been
remedied and the new boiler
which was installed was steamed
up for the first time today.
The proprietor and his crew
are now putting forth every
effort to get the plant in shape
for operation. The new pasteru-
izing machine and other equip
ment has yet to be installed but
this will take but a short time.
Mr.. Champney says that just as
soon as the plant is ready for
operation he will begin gather
ing cream along the routes to be
established.
This territory has long been in
need of creamery. Farmers in
the district are anxiously await
ing the opening of this institu-
ton and it will have their sup
port.

Hook and line fishing is pro
hibited in the state of Wisconsin
for three months after today.
This applies to game fish. Not
only is it unlawful to catch game
fish with a hook and line for the
next 8 months but it is also un.
lawful to buy or sell or handle
them in any way. An exception
should be made to this fact. for
the brook trout season opens
April 18th, a month and a half
before the open season for other
game fish begins.
By game fish are included all
kinds of brook trout, mus
kallonge and sturgeon, bass of
all kinds, pike pickerel ETC., so
none of these fish may be
bought or handled anywhere in
Wisconsin after today for the
period of three months, except
ing only brook trout which may
be handled after April 18th.
The law for closed game fish
however includes only the inland
waters of Wisconsin. This does
not include Chequamegon Bay
for example or Lake Superior
where hook and line and other
fishing may be continued under
the usual regulations. Lake
Superior is the home of sturgeon
and all the other game fish
mentioned may be found in the
short swift streams running
into Lake Superior, excepting
M uskallonge.
Fishermen claim that mus.
kallUnge are TO oe tOund IN tie
lakes or rivers running into the
Mississippi which include the
Chippewa which rises in Ash
land county near Glidden, the
st. Croix and other rivers flow
ing south.
1t will be lawful to fish with a
hook and line including suckers
but practically the first lawful
fishing with a hook and line in
Wisconsin will be on April 18th
when the trout season opens.

Former WaShburn Modiste
awarded Honors at Chicago
Creations in Gowns Make a
Hit and Win the Gossard
Fashion Trophy.


be pleased to learn of the recent
honors conferred upon Nine.
Burns, formerly a modiste of
this city, who has been located
at Duluth for several years.
The following article taken
from the Chicago Herald of Feb.
26th tells of the successes of the
former Washburn lady:
American sunsets woven into
four gowns of simple line and
color yesterday won for Winni-
fred Burns of Duluth the title of
first winner of the 81, 900 Gossard
fashion trophy designed by Mrs.
Nancy Cox Mccormack.
The trophy was presented last
night at the closing banquet of
the spring opening of the Fashion
Art League of America, given in
the banquet hall of the
Auditorium Hotel. 1t was
awarded for the four gowns
entered by Nine. Burns in the
prize contest, "The Zenith" an
evening gown. and the "Bel-
gium," Katherine" and MAY
flower" afternoon gowns. Two
Chicago modistes won the first
and second honorable mention,
Nine. Marguerite the former and
Nine. C. H. Phair the latter.
Nine. Burns, whose Daluth
workroom is declared the most
beautiful in America, and who
has never had sign at the
entrance to her shop during nine
years of business, yesterday ex-
planned why the trophy, which
was awared on the basis of
suitability, workmanship, original
design and basic line and color
principles, had been awarded to
her.
81 think the coloring and lines
of my gowns won the prize, "
said Nine. Burns. "Line and
coloring means art to me. They
were made very simply and with
out much trimming. am sure
America is going to attain pre-
eminence in styles. There is in
spiration in American sunsets
and in our cities if we only look
for it.
Paul Poiret thinks a cathedral
or a ruined castle is necessary
for an inspired gown. 1t is not
so, Europe gets It's inspiration
out of the old: America finds it
in the new.
The most notable gown of the
Burns display was the Zenith, y
named after the zenith city, "
Duluth, a glowing American
Beauty glace taffeta made with
panniers of silk over a two
founced petticoat, embroidered
with net shading into American
Beauty. The Bodice was com
pletely of the net with a high
waistline finished with band OF
purple velvet caught with small
red flowers. The gown had no
sleeves, but was accompanied by
a wrist band of purple stream
ers."

limit was too short for satisfactory
and reliable transportation facilities.
At the same time number OF in
stitutions taking the service found a
demand in the outlying districts and
made arrangements for special sets
of films and lectures to be furnished.
From the local high school, or normal
or small college, short lecture
schedules were arranged, and thus
the movement was started.
"Ir would be almost impossible
for the university to furnish all the
country communities direct" said
William H. Dudley, chief of the
bureau. But by sending a set to one
institution in community and with
that institution furnishing the Others"
we can reach many times the people
at less expense and by very simple
arrangement.
Accordingly, any school desiring
to become an extension center next
wear may have the use OF set OF
slides and films for week at time"
