he is now trotting his legs off in

number of slgners, but from
every side he is being condemned
for his action in circulating a
license petition this spring.
The liquor interests who are
back Of the petition, and who by

not expect to be able to make
much Of a showing in Washburn
but it is understood that they
are doing this for the purpose OF
Having an influence on the elect

Just who was instrumental in
having the license petition drawn
has not been learned, but Bailey

that he now has about twenty
names appended to the docu-
ment and it is altogether likely
that he will get the required
fifty-six names needed before
the time for filing comes around.
It is said that some people will
sign almost anything and we are

submitted to vote this spring.
There is nothing that would be
as detrimental to the city's in
terests at the present time as to
have license carry but this seems
out of the Question. Washburn
| is the home of the DUPONT COM
pany and as this concern en-
ployes hundreds of foreigners
of all nationalities in their con-
struction work each season it
would be a bad blow to their in
terests to have saloons again.
This is conceded by men in all
walks of life.
Ashland is using the argu.
ment that if they only can sue
ceed in voting their city dry and
Washburn wet they will be able
to have something to present to
the DUPONT company in the way
Of an argument for having that
company pull their work trains
into Ashland and even with both
cities wet the difference would
not be much in favor of Wash
burn which is now the home of
the Barksdale people.
The DUPONT company officials
like a dry town, so do all
other manufacturers except the
liquor interests.
Every business man in WASH
burn, every voter who has the
interests of the city at heart,
should pull off their coats this
spring and get into the fight in
earnest and see that this ques-
tion is given sucha death blow
that it will not come up again.
If you want Washburn to con-
tinue to prosper fight the issue
to the last ditch--if you want
|lBailey's side Of the question to
bring strife--sign the petition.
Are you standing with Wash
burn or with Bailey?

CHICAGO FACES COAL FAMINE
DEALERS BLAME RAILROADS

Chicago, the biggest coal distrib-
uting market in the world, is suffer-
4ng from a coal famine. The city re-
quires $4,000 to 125,OOO tons of
coal a day, which is approximately
1000 carloads. One hundred to $50
fewer cars a day have been arriving
for the last week and of these many
mustbe switched through to points
farther west to which they were con-
signed.
"OnIy a couple of days supply of
coal is now where we can reach it, +"
said Fred w. Upham, pres. of Con-
sumers' Co. "The supply may be cut
off any day now unless switching ia
cilities are improved. We have some
thing like 1900 cars in Chicago, but
cannot get them switched to unload
them. We should unload $50 to 400
cars a day. Recently we have been
unloading 120 to $50 cars.
