prepare the annual report to be made

Considerable work remains ahead
of the commission. The Bruno lake
drain proper, completed last winter
has accomplished all that was expect
ed of it, but it has not drained Cor.

taking away the greater part of the
water that fed it.
Another drain has been started
which will completely drain the lake
This will be a tile drain following
the route of the small creek that was
the outlet of Corbett lake to the riv-
er, running just west of the Flambeau
River Lumber Co.'s yard. This will
be completed this fall

HAS FINE vENTILATING SYSTEM
Uniuue Theater Has Spent Hundreds
of Dollars to Insure Pat
rcns' Comfort

M. G. Martin, the local "movie
man." has just installed three new
exhaust fans and the Unique theater
is now unquestionably the best venti-
lated and one of the coolest buildings
in town, if not the coolest. Man
ager Martin believes in leaving moth
ing undone which will insure the COM
fort of his patrons; proof of this is
found in the fact that he has investe
hundreds of dollars in electric fans
and ventilators.
Some idea of the cost of this ap-
paratus will be gained when it is
considered that the large fans in the
center of the theater, overhead, cost
over fifty dollars apiece. These, OF
course, are the most expensive, but
Mr.. Martin has a total of sixteen
fans in the theater, completely re-
newing the air in the building every
two minutes.

PROPOSE ORGANIZING A UNION
Preliminary Steps Taken Toward
Forming a General Labor
Union Here

Nearly two hundred men attend
ed the mass meeting at Cass hall
Monday evening held for the purpose
Of organizing a local labor union un-
der the bylaws of thz American Fed
GRAFTON Of Labor. No representative
of the American Federation of Labor
was present at the meeting, COM
mittee of the local mill men having
charge of the organization.
The Monday night meeting was
primarily for the purpose of organic
ing a local union and no measures
forecasting definite future action by
the society were taken. According to
members of the proposed union, their
purpose in organizing is not for an
aggressive campaign against local
capital, but for protection and an op-
portunity of better understanding the
needs of Ladysmith labor.
Another meeting will probably be
held in the near future.

According to letter received by
the Menasha paper Co. here, this
concern will obtain a portion of the
several tons of dyestuff brought from
Germany recently by the merchant
submarine Deutschland" The
amount the local mill will receive
is 80 pounds.
In ordinary times this would seem
an extremely insignificant quantity
but owing to the unprecedented scar
city of dyes since the allied fleet has
maintained a strict blockade of Ger
