Already, even'before the great wheat
growing regions of the Northwest are
within ten days or two weeks of active
seeding operations, the cry has gone
up from the wise men of the east that
the prospects for humber wheat crop
this season were never better. This is
the same old cry that has been sent up
from the same source regularly every
year since time and wheat growing be-
gan. Sometimes they hit it of all
right, but fully as often not. They
know nothing about it; it is purely
guess work. Every tiller of the soil
knows that even though the most per-
feet conditions prevail at the time OF
seeding and continue through the
growing season up to almost the day
OF the full maturity of the grain, there
still remsins time and chance for fail
ure. Last seasons experience should
have taught them this fact. Never
was there fairer promise for a record
yield OF small grains than last year.
And yet, just as the kernels were
changing from the milk to the dough
stage, came the hot winds, the black
rust, the blighted, seedless heads, and
In hundreds OF instances complete fail.
ure OF the crop. The moral is, not to
place too much faith in the prediction,
OF these wiseaores, for with all their
wisdom the controlling Of weather
conditions is not theirs-they cannot
cause your grain to grow and mature.

FERRY BOATS
HAVING TROUBLE
Ashland Refuses to Furnish
a Landing Place
Reiss Company Refuses to
Allow Use of their Docks
for Ferry Boats.

The schedule of the ferry
boats between Washburn and
Ashland was upset completely
on Monday when the Reiss Coal
company at Ashland placed a
large gate across the entrance
leading to their dock which pre-
vented passengers from going to
and from the dock. The gate
was placed in charge of a watch
man who warned all to keep off
the dock.
AS the landing place of both
ferry boats was on the end OF
the Reiss dock and as the city
of Ashland had no other place
that they could give the boat
owners, the ferry boats had tC
suspend business.
On Tuesday the steamer
Skater came over to this city anC
began making her trips from
Washburn to Bayfield,, cutting
out the Ashland trip entirely
The steamer Scott has not beer
making any trips.
The people of Ashland and the
boat owners are all worked uE
over this matter and an effort is
being made to have the Reiss
company allow the boats tt
land as in former years. The
Reiss company, on the other
hand, says Ashland has failed tt
make repairs or maintain the
dock in proper condition and
that sufficient time has been
given them to make other
arrangements for docks.
After a meeting between Mr.
Reiss of the coal company and
the Harbor Board of Ashland,
held at Ashland yesterday after
noon, the dock was opened again
to the public pending settle
ment. The ferry boats are
again operating.
The city of Washburn main
tains a city dock for which a
nominal sum is charged for
dockage privileges. Washburn
has the best city dock on the
bay.

Over Five Hundred Men
Now Employed
Train of Seven Coaches Carry
Men from This City to
the Works.

The addition of another coach
to the dynamite train" which
carries workmen from this city
to the plant and back again
gives some idea of the size of
the crew now employed at the
works. The seventh coach to
the train was added wednesday
morning, and this, it is even said
is not sufficient to carry the
large crowd without some of the
men having to stand up.
1t is now said that there are
upwards of five hundred men
employed at the plant, over half
Of the number being employed
on construction work.
Two new triton lines are being
built at the plant, and in ad-
dition to this the water system
is being completed, new build
ings are being added, the power
plant is being enlarged, as are
also the acid houses.
Never before was there such
activity at the plant and the en-
ployment of this monster crew
of men is making times in
Washburn better than they have
ever been before. 1t promises
to be the best summer Washburn
has ever had. The plant payroll
will now total upwards of
$35, 100000 monthly.

Hotel Business Rushing

1t has been good many years
since the hotel business IN
Washburn has been as rushing
as it is at the present time.
Things resemble tbe balmy days
of Washburn when boarding
houses of every description
we're crowded to capacity.
All of the boarding houses
which are row operating are
crowded to capacity. Seventy
seven men are being boarded at
the Cumberland house, the Tre'
mont House is full as is also the
Hubert house. The Com mercial
Hotel has all the boarders they
can handle and the Meehan
Hotel which has opened recently
is filled to capacity. f
So urgent has been the de.
mand for room that the HOte
Washburn has been obliged to
open up the small dining room
and serve table board to those
applying. The Hotel Washburn
maintains the large portion o1
/
the Hotel and the large dining
room for transient trade.
In addition to the hotels anC
boarding houses many private
homes are taking i'm roomei S
and bOarders and even these are
rapidly filling rp.
Washburn is fast gaining the
reputation of being one of the
busiest places in the entire
Northwest, and this at time
when business conditions in the
country are not what they
should be, A good many of the
people here have been pinning
their faith in Washbnrn and
their dreams of years are now
being realized.

Smashed Records Again

The White Rose Creamery in
this city is continually adding
new records and on Monday of
this week the record for one
days production was reached
when 1869 pounds of butter was
manufactured during the day.
In order to make this amount
three churnings were made.
Business at this creamery is
growing by leaps and bounds
and some of the other creameries
which have been established IN
other parts of the state are be.
ginning to sit up and take notice
of what the Washburn institu-
tion is doing.
The growth of this creamery
bears out what The Times las
Always maintained, that we have
bere one of the best dairy Sec
tions in any part of the state.
In addition to this being a great
dairy and farming section, we
have something else other CON-
munities cannot boast of and
that is that we are in the center
of one of the greatest fruit belts
in the middle west.
The business at the White Rose
Creamery will continue to grow.
During the past week ten new
patrons we're added to the ever
increasing list of satisfied Gus
toners and the institution is
doing much toward building up
this region.
The handling of the butter
manufactured at the creamery
is a big problem but owing to it's
fine quality the demand keeps
up with the output. White Rose
butter is now being shipped to
markets all over the United
States.

Building Will be 66 x SO
Feet in Size
Will be Located on Omaha
Right of Way Near Cramer
Ware House.

AS was announced in The
Times last week, work will soon
be started on the new pickle
sailing station for the II. j.
Heinz Pickle company in this
city. Contractors Berglund and
Koenig erected a new tool shed
on the grounds the first of the
week and work on the building
will be started in the near future.
The work of grading the ground
was started yesterday.
The new pickle station will be
&c x SO feet in size and will occu-
py a site along the Omaha tracks
west of the Cramer warehouse.
The building will be fitted out
with vats and other equipment
for sailing cucumbers. The
station in this city, as well as the
one at Iron River, will be in
charge of Mr.. Porter, field man
for the company.
The Heinz company has con-
tracts with the farmers of this
vicinity for the growing of Gu
cumbers. The growing of cucum-
bers is said to be a very profitable
business for the grower. The
station in this city will be a good
thing for the farmer and for the
city as large sums of money will
be paid out for cucumbers and
f6 snding the crops.

week telling about some fine

measured twenty inches when

we have been taken to task for
Understanding this point.

rushed.

Selling Much Land

The Clausen addition on the
hill side west of the city is
rapidly being sold out to people
who are having the tract cleared
and put into crops. This land
was put on the market two years
ago by the owner L. N. Clauser
and several blocks were sold al
that time. George Posey pur-
chased four blocks, Mrs. II
DaIziel, one and Mrs. Betsy
Wollum, two.
This spring A. P. Fraser has
been handling the sales of the
land for Mr.. Clausen and has
disposed Of several nice tracts,
the purchasers being John W.
Gibson, Austin Carson, Sigurd
Wedin and John Summerfield
These are fine pieces of land and
the owners are having them
cleared up and will put in
crops this season. Mr.. Fraser
also has several ether deals
which are pending and he ex-
poets to sell out this whole
addition before many weeks.
.Mr. Fraser is rather modest
about telling about his lands
sales but he has succeeded in
disposlng of several tracts of
land this spring to actual set
tiers. His honest dealings have
brought him many sales.
