Ferry Boat Season Ended

The travelling public between
Ashland and Washburn will now
have to use train service eY-
clusively between this city and
Ashland, the ferry boat service
between the two cities having
ended on last Saturday when
the steamers Mary Scott and
Ellen D. were laid up for the
season.
The ice formation on the Ash
land side of the bay made it
difficult for the small steamers
to navigate and Captain Doherty
owner of the vessels, decided to
lay the boats up for the winter.
According to Mr.. Doherty the
past season has been a very
successful one for the two
steamers and the service rem
dered the public has been ap-
preciated.

mittee from the Council
With Help of Others

The City Dads believe in Civ
ing the children of the city a
good time on Christmas night
and at a special meeting of the
Council held on Monday evening
of this week a motion was made
by Alderman Henry Johnson
providing that the council take
the matter in hand again this
year and stage the event in
royal style.
Mayor Macleod appointed the
la committee composed
of Henry Johnson, Ed. White
and Andrew Faulk to have
charge of the event and this
committee will appoint others.
1t is proposed to get large
Christmas Tree and place it in
the public square near the Post
Office corner. This will be de-
corated with colored electric
lights and trimmings. In con-
nection with the tree there will
be a fine program consisting of
music by the band, speaking and
singing, This will be followed
by the distribution of apples and
candy to the children,of the city.
In connection with the tree it
is proposed tC have a big NUM-
cipal bon fire al ound which the
children can get warm while
the program is going on.
Last year Washburn had its
first municipal Christmas Tree
and the event was witnessed by
thousands of people old and
young. 1t was a great success

Doe Taken From Bay on Scow

Tucked away in specially
improvised bed on a scow used
in connection with the construct
ion of the new third Northwest
ern ore dock, doe, not more
than year old, was taken from
it's snug and comfortable sur
roundings oy game wardens
W. P. Elliot and G. Fl. Schaber
on Saturday. The wardens will
likely turn the animal loose.
1t was while the scow, which
had just transported a load of
gravel from the site of the new
dock to a point beyond the
breakwater, was returning to
it's starting point, that Captain
John McCaffery of the tug
Marion towing the scOw noticed
the doe swimming in the bay.
The deer apparently had come
out of the woods in the vicinity
of Bad River Reservation and
from all appearances was head
ing for Bayfield,, when it was
discovered. The captain be.
lieved the doe to be a dog at
first, but as the speed of the
tug was retarded, and a clearer
view of the strange object could
be had, this belief was dispelled.
When the tugs speed was
slackened the doe instead of
swimming away from the scow
in towing came directly towards
it and by it's actions, the crew
realized that 1T wanted to be
taken on board. The doe was
picked up by the ears and taken
on the scow.
The knees of the doe bore
evidences of contact with thin
ice. After being taken on the
scow, it was fed and placed at
one end of the craft. 1t was
said that when the game war
dens arrived at the scow, the
doe was tucked away in bed
beneath several blankets and
was peacefully sleeping. So
tame had the animal be-

Many Went Hunting

Last Sunday was a big day
for the hunters of Bayfield,
county who had not already
secured their deer and the
woods were full of the wearers
of the red coats.
A little snow in sections of
the woods improved hunting
conditions somewhat but on a
whole conditions have been very
unsatisfactory for hunting dur
ing this season and few deer
have been slaughtered.

Have Applied to Boxing Com
mission for License
Bouts Will be Staged for
Entertainment of the
Members of Club.

News from Milwaukee is to
the effect that the F. T. Beers
Club of this city has applied to
the State Boxing Commission
for a license to stage boxing
matches in this city and in all
probability the license will be
granted.
When the Beers Club was first
organized a few boxing bouts
were staged. the participants all
being local people, but the box
ing commission said that these
bouts were in violation of the
boxing law and the club i'm
mediately gave them up.
Now the club has applied to
the Commission for a license to
stage bouts at their club rooms
in this city. The indications
are that the license will be
granted.
In taking out a license the
Beers Club does not propose to
stage boxing matches as money
making feature but have taken
out the license in order to COM
ply with the law. Scientific
boxing events will be held upon
the granting of the license for
the entertainment of the
members of the club at different
occasions.

Due to the fact that the Bay

the other counties there, with a
percentage of Sc and 16. For
the above reason the judges cut
the exhibit 10 per cent, which
shows, so far as the stock exhi-

"We have waited nearly thirty
years for paving in Washburn
and yet people will not give it a
chance to set properly before
using it" was what Mayor Mac
Leod said on Saturday when he
ordered the driving on the new
paving stopped for a short
period longer.
Upon the completion of the
paving job bars were put up in
the section which had not yet
sufficiently dried in order to
keep traffic off that section of
the street, but some careless
driver came along and knocked
down the bars and it was only
a matter of a very short time
until the street in question was
generally used by all kinds of
vehicles until Mayor Macleod
discovered the fact when the
bars were again ordered up and
all traffic on on the street was
stopped.
It is the intention of the city
administration to keep this
street closed until it is safe for
traffic which will probably be
some time near the end of the
present week.
