After Clean Streets

Mayor Mcleod is thinking of
having introduced at the Com

waste paper, etc. on the streets.
This is a practice which has
been abused in the past for peo.

throwing waste paper about the
streets. The result has been
that the streets have become
Uttered up with waste paper
which accumlates along the

Washburn Wisconsin, Thursday. April 27th
Ashland Has a Train

Beginning with last Monday
morning the Omaha railway
company began running a trair
out of Ashland for the Barks
dale station. The train is what
is known as a mixed train, pass
enger and freight.
The schedule has been so ar
ranged that the train leaves
Ashland early in the morning,
arriving at Barksdale about the
same time as the regular dyna.
mite train from this city.
1t is said that in order to make
a good showing the Ashland
people are patronizing the train
quite literally in the hope that
it will be maintained and that
the city across the pond will get
some of the DUPONT business.
)
Up to the present time one
passenger coach is being pulled
on the train and this is but
partially filed.
The people of Washburn, some
time ago, petitioned the Omaha
railway company to give Us a
train that would bring the morn
ing mail in from the east in the
morning, but instead the Oma-
company have established a
train service which does not
provide mail service, but which
gives Ashland people working
at the plant an opportunity to
reside in the city across the bay.

For a Time Recovery Was
Doubtful. Said to be Get
ting Along Nicely.

Miss Margaret Mcdonald,
supervisory teacher of the rural
schools of Bayfield, county, fig
ured in an accident last Thurs

hit upon the hub of the wheel,
injuring her internally.
Miss Mcdonald was picked up
and was rushed to Gable where
she was given medical attention

on the afternoon train. For a
time it was feared that Miss
Mcdonald had received severe
injuries to her back as her limbs
became paralyzed, and she was
rushed to the hospital at Ash
land where an operation was
performed Friday afternoon.
Following the operation Miss
Mcdonald seemed to improve
and reports from the hospital
are now very encouraging for
her recovery.

was teacher in the Iron River
schools, later being employed as
