Thrilling Fire Event

Mrs. John Beauleau was
greatly surprised last Saturday
morning between the hours of
six and seven o'clock to be
awakened by a dense smoke
which filled the house and to
lind the clothes closet all ala me.
She arose from the bed quick
ly and rushed into the closet
where a basket of clothes was
found to.be on fire and these
were carried out of the house
by Mrs. Beauleau. An alarm
of fire was then turned in. The
fire was extinguished before
the department arrived.
The fire started from an open
ing in the chimney which had
been covered by paper when the
closet was papered. Mrs.
Beauleau and her seven months
old child were alone in the house
at the time, Mr.. Beauleau having
left on the early morning train
for the plant.

ON LAST LAP
OF PAVING JOB
Two Crews Now Winding
FtfS
Up the Work
Expect to Complete the Work
Within a Period of
Ten Days.
Expect to Complete the Worl

Two busy crews are now en-
gagged in the work of laying the
paving on Bayfield, street and
the last lap of the work is now
under way.
The concrete laying crew were
inactive for two or three days
during the past week on account
of the condition of the weather
but in order that no time should
be lost Contractor Wolley en-
ployed all men in other branches
of the work with the result that
some great time was made in the
laying of the vitrified brick.
On Monday noon the cement
crew began laying concrete base
again and this part of the work
will be completed before the last
of the present work when all
hands will be employed in the
laying of the brick and the put
ting in of the grout filler.
Some idea of the looks of the
street can now be had by visit
ing east Bayfield, street where
the brick has been laid and
rolled, ready for the grout filler
which will be put in this week.
1t is a beautiful piece of paving
and shows up in fine shape.
1t will be a pretty street when
the paving is finished and it will
do much to advertise the city to
visitors coming here.

Adam.on Law Will Cut Trainmen's Pay

Learn to Pack Apples in School
At Bayfield,

Pratical lessons in improved me-
thods of packing apples for market
were given to special class of in
terested people at Bayfield, recently
under the joint auspices of the Bay
field Peninsula Fruit Association and
the College of Agriculture, Univer-
sity of Wisconsin.
Association employees and students
in agricultural courses at the local
high school were given practical in
structions in packing large consign-
ment of Wealthy apples by R. II.
Roberts, horticultural extension
workers of the College of Agricul-
ture.
Growers in the vicinity of Bayfield,
who saw the packing demonstrations
as well as others who favor improved
methods, are of the opinion that
what is known as the "tier" system
of box packing will be largely used
hereafter for the first grade fruit.
Barrels will probably be used for
second grade product. Bayfield,
apple growers have been using the
box pack during the past few years
in preference to barrels. However,
as many of them did not use close
discrimination in the grading and
packing, results were not always
satisfactory. The tumble" method
of box packing, followed here for
time, as many of the same features
which make barrel packing undesir-
able for the first grade apples.
Among the faults common to
tumble" packing are the following:
uniformity in size, insufficient
grading for blemishes, too much
variation in color, poor appearance in
retail trade, and lower keeping |
qualities.
Growers find it difficult to pack
apples thightly by the tumble" |
system. and hence when shrinkage
occurs fruit becomes injured from
e =
shifting about in the boxes.
There seems to be a strong senti-
ment for the marketing of first |
grade fruit in standard boxes under
the supervision of local associations.
Providing the Bayfield, district adopts
this method of marketing, it is GER
tain that it will have more effect
than any other one item in standard
zing the output from year to year.
