Military Training In Public Schools.
Apropos of military training in the
schools. DR.. Woods Hutchinson says:
military training In the schools
may prove the great emancipation that
we have been waiting for to free our
educational system from the clerical
shackles and classical absurdities OF
the past and place it upon a hygienic.
rational and scientific basis. Modern
military ideals can be made to work
a great CHARACTERIZATION Of educational
values. 1t would do us no harm to
reverse our ideals for a few decades;
there is no danger of our being drag
ged too far out of the rut."-South-

Machine Shop and Five Lo-
comotiVeS Burn
Fire Supposed to Have Been
Started by Hoboes During
Early Morning.

Cusson, is, a small station
on the Duluth South Shore rail-
way, eight miles south of Iron
River, and formerly the head
quarters Of the woods operations
of the Iron River Lumber Com
pany, was the scene of a disas-
trous fire on Monday morning.
The cause of the fire is unknown
but it is supposed to have been
started by hoboes during the
early morning hours.
The fire was discovered by the
Maitlands, who reside at that
place, shortly before 6 o'clock
when smoke was seen coming
out of the machine shop, but the
fire had gained such headway at
this time that they were unable
to put it out and the building
together with the contents,
was totally destroyed.
Five locomotives, two standard
gauge and three narrow gauge,
together with a lot of planning
mill machinery and other tools,
were destroyed, as we'll as the
main building and other small
buildings adjoining.
The only source of water sup
ply at Cusson is a hand pump,
but this was useless with a big
fire, and nothing could be done
to save the property.
Cusson is located on the main
line of the Duluth South Shore
railway, and hobos find this a
good stopping place on their way
down the line. 1t is thought
that during the night hoboes
must have entered the building
and in some way started the fire.

Special Meeting of Council
to be Held on 10th
Work will be Started by Con-
tractor Immedi,,t tely
Afterwards.

In order that every detail of
the law may be carried out to
the letter the paving of Wash
burns main street will not be
started until June Goth, but from
that time on the work will be
rushed by Contractor Thomas E.
Wolley of Lacrosse.
A meeting of the Board of
Public Works was held on Sat-
urday of last week to hear COM
plants of property owners
against the assessments as made
by the board against the differ
ent pieces of property along the
street to be paved but there was
no one in evidence. A period of
eight days time will now be
given for property owners to eX-
anime the report Of the board
and on the 10th Of this month
a special meeting of the Council
will be held when the report of
the Board will be presented to
the Council.
The council will then award
the contract and the work will
begin Immediately. Thomas E.
Wolley of Lacrosse, who was
the lowest bidder for the type of
pavement to be laid, will have
his machinery and crew here
very shortly after the goth to
begin the work of laying the
pavement and he expects that
he will have the work completed
within two months time after
he starts work.
Washburn people are anxious
ly waiting the time when the
pavement will be started. The
white way lighting system will
be laid at the same time as the
paving and when the main street
is opened again it will be one of
the prettiest of any town the
size of Washburn in the North
west.

Supreme Court Hands
Down Decision.
Tax on Railway Dock Pro-
perty to be Returned
to City.

Madison, Wis, June 13. The
validity of the so-calIed terminal tax
law passed by the last legislature is
upheld in decision in the case of
state of Wisconsin ex rel city of Su-
perior VS. John S. Donald, secretary
of state, handed down today by the
supreme court of Wisconsin.
This case came before the court
upon the motion of Secretary OF
Ttate John S. Donald to quash the
alternative writ of mandamus issued
out of the Supreme court May g.,
1916, commanding him to audit the
amount of taxes payable TO the city
of Superior from docks and grain
elevators pursuant to the provisions
of the terminal tax law passed in
1915. This law provides that the
state shall assess this property as
other railroad property, but refund
to the cities the amount due on the
docks, wharves, etc., within their
confines. The question at issue was
the constitutionality of the law.
In the decision today Chief Justice
Winslow said:
Every municipality in which such
property exists is burdened with re-
sponsibilities, dutiea aid financial
obligations not shared by other
municipalities, possessing only ordi-
nary railway property. We would
not intimate for moment that any
such class of railroad property pos
sessing such peculiar characteristics
as would justify the classification here
apply to marine terminals, but as to
such terminals and the municipalities
in which they are located we are un-
able to say that the classification is
invalid"
This is a case in which the city of
Washburn was interested with the
cities of Superior and Ashland, it
having to do with the assessment OF
terminal dock property of railroad
companies. By the decision of the
Supreme court just handed down the
state will return to the city of Wash
burn sum aggregating somewhere
between $25OO and $4,000, being the
state assessment on railroad property
covering the past year.
The decision ends the big fight
which has been waged for several
years. Superior was effected to the
extent of over $1OO, 900 and Ashland
will also receive big sum.
The people here and in other cities
feel that the decision is just one
for under the old arrangement the
cities where terminal property was
located furnished police and fire
protection without one cent of return
in the way of taxes.

And it Surprised Him
west.

The other day a gentleman
stepped into one of the big
banks at Minneapolis and in
conversation with the President
of the bank began talking of
large amounts of money when
the gentleman asked the Presl'
cent if he realized how much a
billion dollars was.
The question rather astonished
the bank president for in his
business he had been dealing
with large figures from time to
time, but the thought had not
struck him as to just how much
a billion dollars really was.
In order to enlighten the
bank president the gentleman
explained things in this manner.
If you should stop and figure
every minute of time from the
time of the birth of Christ until
the present time you would have
about billion minutes. and
changing minutes to dollars you
have some idea Of the billion.
Immediately the bank president
took out his pencil and began
figuring, using 1000 years as the
basis of calculations and he
learned that in 1000 years time
there is just exactly 1,o55, ,2Oo,-
600. a little more than a billion.
Perhaps this too will give you
an idea of the size of a billion
when you stop to figure things
this way.

TO TRADE OFF
WITH BAYFIELD,
Thew will Join with Wash
burn in 4th Celebration
And Washburn in Turn will
Join in Labor Day
Celebration

Bayfield, and Washburn will
trade off this year in celebra-
tions, this arrangement having
been perfected at a meeting held
at Bayfield, during the past week
by the Committee in charge of
the 4th of July celebration for
this city and a delegation of
Bayfield, business men.
At this meeting it was decided
that the Bayfield, people should
join with the Washburn people
in the celebration of the 4th and
Washburn people will go to Bay
field to celebrate Labor Day.
This arrangement between the
two places which has been
carried out during the past three
years has worked very salts
factorily and the people Of both
places are in favor of carrying
out the arrangements.
Washburn is planning on one
Of the biggest celebrations ever
held in the city. The committee
in charge is now busily engaged
in arranging for the necessary
funds and attractions to make
the day a ''red letter" one in the
history Of the city.
In @ der to carry out their ar
rangenlenCs the committee will
have to have twice as much
money as has ever been raised
in the city for a similar celebra-
tion but the committee in charge
of this endof the work is meet
ing with good success and each
business house is donating the
amount which the committee
has placed against them. By this
arrangement every business
house in the city is being rated
according to the business in
which they are engaged.
The committee say they have
something ''up their sleeve" in
the way of amusements for the
day that will open the eyes of
the people here and those COM
ing to the city to spend the day.
AS yet they are keeping their
plans to themselves until all ar
rangements have been arranged
when circulars will be issued
announcing the complete pro-
gram.
On account of the large adver-
tising which Washburn has had
the past year as being one of the
livliest towns in the United
States many former residents
are planning on coming home to
spend the 4th and to join with
the old timers in the biggest
celebration the city has ever
had.
