the local market. Belgian and North Sea
blues promise to be wen up among the
leading fall shades Some authorities pre-
dict a remarkable demand for blacks next
fall, relieved to an extent by gray, white
and other light shades in stripes
Advances in prices are predicted freely,
as raw material has appreciated II to 20
per cent from the low levels reached
shortly after the war started in Europe
The outlook in the Far East is more favor
able now than a week ago, when Ameyi-
can manufacturers feared that supplies for
both China and Japan might be debarred
The dyestuff question now is the most
serious things the manufacturers in this
country must face Several large, mills arc
busy planning to alleviate the situation
The selling agent for several well-known
lines states that his mills are working with
various dyestuffs and substitutes in efforts
to obtain something suitable Other mills
also are experimenting. Staple colors suit
able for plain shades are the most difficult
to obtain at present, particularly standard
| blues, reds and blacks.
| Meantime a popular demand is develop
ing for white taffeta suits for summer
wear, with sport" hats to match. The
taffetas used are of a soft or semi-soft fin
ish. One of the latest ideas on the mar
kct in white taffeta carries crab pattern
in colors. The effect is striking, and the
goods are in active demand for dancing
lfrocks of an ultralnoTelty order Silk
waists of many designs from quiet, plain
white or natural shades to the most elab
crate colors, including pronounced plaids
are appearing. For entire suits midnight
blues appears to be a favorite shade; alst
Belgian and navy blues Dark skirts 0
lsilk, with white silk or light shades fo
waists, are decidedly popular A fad foi
summer calls for high-laced shoes and hos
iery which match the waist, hat ant
lgloves, with the skirt of contrasting eolors
Both taffetas and messalines are selling
for early fall needs. 1t is stated tina
taffeta orders call for September-Octobe
: deliveries, while handlers of messaline
J show contracts carrying through Novem
: December. Such long-forward order
!, on staple fabrics are believed to be du
! largely to fear of a dyestuff shortage
!. Substitutes for staple dyes are being OF
!. fered in number of quarters and eertai

Special Officer L. j. Larson
of the liquor SUPPRESSION branch
of the Indian Department paid
a visit to Ashland last week,
and as consequence the Odanah
Star says the Indian Lid" was
placed on good and tight in
Ashland.
For some time there has been
talk of enforcing the Indian
treaty with regard to coded
lands in Northern Wisconsin
and every time special officer
of the Indian Department visits
Ashland the saloon men of that
city shiver.
The Odanah Star seems to
think that it is only a matter of
time until the Indian lid will go
on in that territory and we hope
the Star is right in this con-
tention.

Relates Story of Washburn

L
Edwin Carlson,a resident of
Bull, Mimi. who is now EN- pl0y-
ed at the plant OF the Dupont
Powder com pany at Btrksdale,
wrote home to his parents dur
ing the past week and the fol-
Owing is a portion of the letter
Which was printed i'll the Bull
Enterprise.
Bull, Edwin Carlson, son
of Mr.. and Mrs. Joseph Carl
son, if this village, writes an
interesting letter on the city of
Wash burn, Wis, where he is
now EN- ployed as fnisher in a
cement plant. Mr.. Carlson left
Bull three weeks ago. A part
of his letter follows:
Some years a disgruntled
lum herman, who became miffed
at the public officials of the city
owing to some disagreement
over the tax matters, said that
he would make tie grass grow
on the streets of Washburn.
Hanged if he didn't do it too for
a time, but the Dupont Powder
company has certainly blown up
all the grass off our streets now.
Every boarding house, every
private residence, every empty
building of any kind that is
habitable is now occupied by
the men employed at Barksdale.
Trainloads of mattresses and
bedding have been imported to
take care of the workmen and
they are being taken care of in
good shape. Five trains day of
Ourteen coaches each shuttle
back and forth between here
and the plant. Washburn has
taken a new lease on life and a
permanent one too.
"It has been discovered by
the powder people that they can
save thousands of dollars by
manufacturing certain grades
Of explosives here over their
eastern plants owing to the
favorable atmospheric con-
ditions, which makes this place
sure winner for all times.
"Never in it's palmist Lum Der
Jack days was Washburn a more
prosperous city tEan she is to-
day and the great beauty of it
all is it's permanent"

Deer Fever Prevalent

AS is usual at this time of the
year there has been an outbreak
of what is commonly known as
."deer fever 'rfrsfhis city. The
disease does not have any fatal
effects, except that it puts the
patient in a talkatiye mood re.
lating the experiences of past
seasons. The other night down
at the Wardner store the disease
germ began to spread and with
in very short time many per-
sons were relating stories of
past seasons spent in the wilds
of Bayfield, county, and before
long the boys had a string of
deer hanging up Gin their i'm
aginations.)

A message was received in
this city this morning by M. A.
Sprague telling of the death of
S. G. Cook, a pioneer lum ber-
man of this city, at Oakland,
California, Wednesday, Mr..
Cook was sixty-tive years of age
at the time of death.
Mr.. Cook was well known by
the older residents of the north
Wisconsin region and especially
of the Chequamegon bay dis
trict. Mr.. Cook built the first
saw mill in Washburn twenty
five years ago. 1t was known
as the Cook mill which was
later taken over by Akeley q
Sprague. 1t occupied a site
where the M. Ell. Sprague Lum-
Der company mill now stands.
This was the first saw mill built
on Chequamegon Bay. Mr.. Cook
also opened up the first road
between Ashland aud Washburn.
Although he was a resident of
Minneapolis a large portion of
his time was spent in this city
on account of his heavy lumber
interests. He was the prime
mover in the organization of the
Northern Pine Lum Der com.
pany and was prominent in
business circles of the North
Wisconsin region.

Clarence Wright returned
home on Sunday evening from
Depere, Wis. where he attended
the funeral of his mother Mrs.
Jennie Munsen.
Mrs. Munsen was So years of
age at the time of death. For
more than seven years she has
been unable to rise from her bed
and death came as a relief to her
long suffering, although she bore
her suffering and long illness
patiently. For twenty seven
days previous to her death Mrs.
Munsen was unable to. take
nourishment of any kind and
that she survived so long is con-
sidered almost a miracle. Her
illness was caused from
stomach trouble.
The funeral was held from the
Presby terian church on Thurs
day afternoon and interment
was in the Greenwood cemetary
at Depere.
Mrs. Munsen is survivee by
her son Clarence and several
brothers and sisters residing at
Depere. Friends in this city ex-
tend their sympathy to Clarence
in his sad bereavement.
