Extensive Repairs Made to
WaShburn Institution
Complete New Boiler Outfit
Installed in Plant. Large
Sum Expended.

The box and Grating factory
of the Embellishments com.
pany in this city which has been
closed down during the past
week while extensive repairs
were being made, resumed oper-
ations again on Tuesday after
noon of this week.
Among the improvements
made to the factory during the
temporary shutdown was the
installation of new boilers, a
new smokestack, and other i'm
provements.
The boiler which has been
installed is capable Of develop
ing twice as much power as the
two boilers which have been in
use, and will give the company
plenty of power should additions
be made to the plant from time
to time.
The Kenfeld-Lamoreaux COM
pany have been doing an i'm
mense business during the past
two years and they are hardly
able to keep up with orders, so
rapidly are they coming in. In
addition to the Washburn plant
the Embellishments people
operate plants and saw mills at
Bemidji and Cass Lake, Minn.,
besides handling the output of
several other institutions.
Their Washburn plant en-
ployes in the neighborhood of
one hundred men the year
around and is one of the live
industries of the city.

Burned by Hot Lead

Frank Bowe. who is employed
as a pipe filter at the plant of
the Dupont Chemical com pany,
was quite badly burned about
the face and hands last Sunday
morning while at work filling
the joints of a pipe with lead. 1t
is thought that the hot lead
came in contact with water
which caused it to fly up in the
young mans face,
For a time it was feared that
Bowe might lose the sight of
one of his eyes but it is now be-
ieved that he will not suffer
any permant injury. He is re-
ceiving treatment at the hospital
at Ashland.

They ARE NOW
LAYING BRICK
Contractor Wolley in Charge
of Grew
Two Gangs Now Rushing
Work on the Paving Job.
The Time is Short

After many previous predict
ions we are now able to announce
for a certainty that the laying
of the brick pavement has
actually been commenced. Con-
tractor Thomas E. Wolley and a
crew of men arrived in the city
last Saturday morning and work
was Immediately started on lay
ing the brick paving.
At the rate the paving is now
being laid it will take about
three days to each block which
will mean that with favorable
weather, this job cannot be
completed for a period of nine
or ten days at the least. The
laying of the concrete base on
the western section of the paw
ing is progressing with fairly
good speed and will be COM
pleted in plenty of time for the
brick top to follow.
After the brick has been laid
it will be rolled with heavy
rollers and afterwards will be
filled with a grout filler which is
a rich mixture of concrete. The
gutter space will be filled with
asphalt as will also the expan-
sion joints in the brick which
will be done by the crew now
engaged in laying the concrete
base.
Contractor Wolley expects to
be able to finish the paving this
fall unless unforeseen weather
conditions interfere with the
work. With the frosty nights
care has been taken to keep the
concrete from freezing before
it sets.

Addressed Large Audience at
Temple Theatre
Lauds Reco, of Senator
r. M. LaFollette. Assails
The Democrats.

The first Republican campaign
address of the present campaign
was delivered at the Temple
Theatre on Tuesday evening by
Ex-senator Moses E. Clapp of
Minnesota who is speaking in
behalf of the National ticket.
The Minnesota man was greet
ed by a packed house and for
nearly two hours his audience
listened to his interesting ad-
dress in which he lauded the
policy of the Republican party
and assailed that of the Demo
Gratis.
Senator Clapp said, while he
was not a pessimist, yet he be-
lieved that this country would
face one of most disastrous in
dustrial panics since the days Of
the civil war as soon as the pres
ent European war is settled and
that something besides the
vacillating policy of the Demo-
Gratis was needed to avert this
crisis and he said that by Presi-
dent Wilson's record of four
years he had demonstrated that
he was not the man to handle
the country during this period.
On the other hand the Republi
can Presidential nominee had
demonstrated during his term
as Governor of New York that
his policy was a sound one which
did not need changing first from
one side and then to the other.
Senator Clapp attacked Presi-
dent Wilson's campaign slogan
"He kept us out of war" and he
said Il would like you to show
me a single instance where the
President could have plunged US
in war without committing high
treason.
Senator Clapp also attacked
the policy of the Democrats for
urging the building Of more
battleships and not hurrying the
construction of the ones that had
already been authorized, when
as he said the President had said
the world was on fire and the
sparks were falling.
The Senator said this country
was too large and powerful and
the oceans which separated it
from the rest of the world were
too wide to transport an army
of invasion and that this country
had nothing to fear in that re-
spect,
Before the close of the Sena-
tors address he took occasion to
laud the record of United States
Senator Robert M. LaFollette in
the highest terms and to urge
his election. He said that this
country was in need of more men
like LaFollette who dared to op-
pose the "big interests"
From time to time during his
address Senator Clapp was loud
ly applauded when he made some
telling point and especially was
this so when he referred to
Senator LaFollette.
