Peopl. Urged to Do Xmas
Shopping in Washburn.
Stores in This City Offer a
Wide Display of Christ
mas Articles.

There is absolutely no reason
why the people of this city
should not do their Christmas
shopping at home this year, thus
adding to the prosperity of the
city and keeping the money at
home where it will give employ
ment to home people.
WashbuYn has been enjoying
a very prosperous season this
year. There has been an abun-
dance of work at good wages,
farm products OF all kinds have
been in good demand at high
prices and all lines of business
have shown a prosperous condi-
tion.
This will mean that the Christ
mas season which is now upon
us will be one of the biggest
that Washburn has ever had.
The stores of the city have
realized this and have prepared
their stocks in advance and now
offer a wonderful showing of
everything that anyone might
want for Christmas giving. A
comparison Of the prices charged
at the stores in this city with
the prices charged by stores in
other cities confirms our belief
that people here can do better
by shopping at home than they
can do elsewhere.
This is one means whereby
the ordinary person can contri-
butte to the upbuilding of the
city by spending his money at
home. The money thus spent
will go into the hands of Wash
burn people who in turn will
spend it again in Washburn,
thus making prosperity general
to all around.
The Commercial Club of this
city urges buying at home. You
can do better and you are deal
ing with men whom you have
known for years.

CLUB TO HIRE
PAID SECRETARY
Important Meeting Held Last
Friday Night
Funds Subscribed that will
Put Club on a Work
ing Basis.

| A very important meeting of
the Commercial Club was held
at the Club rooms last Friday
evening at which the question of
hiring a paid secretary for the
club, who will devote his entire
time to securing new industries,
securing better traffic rates and
working for everything that
tends to build up the city, was
taken up.
Some time ago a petition was
circulated among the business
and professional men to raise
funds with which to hire a paid
secretary for the Club and a
large amount of the funds were
raised.
The Club was asked to take
over this list and to hire the
secretary and a committee COM
posed of H. H. Peavey, Nels M.
Oscar and w. A. Robinson was
selected to engage suitable
man.
The best of feeling was mani
fest at the meeting and it was
apparent that the Club members
will lend every effort to putting
their shoulder to the wheel to
anything that will build a great
er Washburn.
A membership campaign was
also started at the meeting and
a committee of five was chosen
to lead teams that will secure
new members.
Every person in the city who
is interested in the upbuilding
of the city should become men,
bers of the Club. The club
rooms have recently been re-
decorated and painted and the
club rooms are the best to be
found in any city the size in the
country.

1t Applies . to All

The efforts to build up Wash
burn should apply to merchants
and others alike. Everyone
should join in the movement and
this can be done by patronizing
your neighbor when you can.
Washburu has two first class
bakery establishments, capable
of turning out all the bakery
supplies which are used in the
city and as long as the price is
equal and goods of the same
quality the Washburn people
should insist that their grocery
store furnish them with Wash.
burn made goods.
If all the bakery goods used
in Washburn were made by the
local Establishments it would
mean an increase in the lumber
of people employed, all of which
would add to Washburn pros
perity. 1t is the little institut-
ions that grow to bigger ones
and one way to help them along
is to give them your patronage.

Steamer Sonoma Departed
on Late Date
Navigation to Washburn Port
is Still Open so Far as
Ice is Concerned.

The Washburn docks estab-
lished a new record this year
for the late departure of late
freighters, the Steamer Sonoma
having discharged a cargo of
coal at the docks of the North
western Fuel company duriug
the past week and departed for
Fort William where it took on a
cargo of grain for down lake
ports.
A year or so ago there was a
later arrival of a boat but it re-
NAMED at the local docks all
winter. while this year the
Sonoma cleared again after nav
ing discharged her cargo.
The Sonoma brought up a
cargo of 1900 tons Of soft coal.
The docks in this city are pretty
we'll filled with all kinds of coal
and so far as local people are
concerned there need be no
worry over coal shortage ac-
cording to Superintendent Glib
son.

County Board Meeting Called
for Next Week.
Question as to Legality of
Meeting held on November
2Sth to be Corrected.

A call has gone out for a
special meeting Of the County
Board of Bayfield, county which
will be held on Monday morn
ing, December 18th.
For the past week the rumor
of the meeting has been current,
the legality of the meeting held
on the 18th of November having
been questioned, and in order to
have everything according to
law the members thought it adj
visable to call a special meeting
to legalize the action of the
Board at the annual meeting.
The question as to the legal
ity of the meeting was raised
through proceedings which were
to be started by town of Barks-
dale people as a result of the
adding of territory to their
town by the Board at the annual
meeting.
It was said that as the law
provides for the holding of the
annual meeting on the second
Tuasdav of Nouamhar. and no
adjournment having been taken
at that time that the proceed
ings of the meeting held on-the
28th were illegal.
A lively session of the Board
is promised and several matters
which were passed at the 28th
meeting will likely be gone over
again.

Glad it Was Not True

We are indeed glad to be able
to announce this week that the
death of John Demolie. which
was reported in the last issue
of this paper, was not true and
as Mark Twain said was
"greatly exaggerated"
Mr.. Demolie has been very
sick during the past week with
neuralgia of the heart and for a
time it was feared that he could
not survive, but his condition is
now much improved and Mr..
Demolie is now on the road to
recovery.
Just as we were going to
press last Thursday three
different persons appeared al
the Office and reported that Mr..
Demolie had suddenly died from
a stroke of apoplexy, and oi
course thinking that three per-
sons could not possibly be mis-.
taken, and not having time to
confirm the report before going
to press the announcement was
published as given.

Expect to Have Good Team

The high school basket ball
team has begun practice at the
opera house. A large mum ber
of candidates are out for the
team but only few show any
thing like good basket ball form.
A pre- season game will be
played with the strong Bayfield,
high school team on Friday
evening Dec. Is, at Bayfield,.
This is just practice game for
teams, although Bayfield, will
probably have the strongest
lineup when the two teams
clash.
On Saturday, the 10th. the
team will play the high school
alumni, another heavy and ex.
perienced aggregation of play
ers including such stars as
Jack Caruthers, Horace Frost
and Hovedy.
These games having been
played, the team will have a rest
until after the vacation as far as
games are concerned unless it
is possible to get Bay field to
come here on Friday the 22nd,
the week following the game up
there.
