Doing Good Work

Street Foreman Joe Arseneau
has a crew of men and teams at
work this week repairing the
road from this city to the Raarup
corner, a distance of one mile.
For some years this road has been
in poor condition for travel on
account of the sand and the
work of surfacing the road with
clay is now being done.
When the road is completed
this will be in fine condition and
will give a good road through to
Bayfield,, with the exception OF
the piece near Pixies Quarry
which is to be abandoned.

Paid Secretary to be En-
pIoyed by Com. Club
Business Men Show Right
Spirit by Backing this
Movement

lnucn TO Cne CITY OF WaSnDurn
and one in which the business
people and others will have an
opportunity to demonstrate that
they are Give wires" who be-
lieve in the city's future, was
started here yesterday by Theron
A. Loveland Of Washburn and
Minneapolis with the assistance
of other local people, when a
petition was circulated which
has for it's object the raising of
funds with which to employ an
experienced man as secretary of
the Washburn Commercial Club
who will devote his entire time
to securing new industries,
lowering of freight rates, and
the general betterment Of city
conditions.
Many Of the Washpurn busi-
ness people came nobly to the
front and have signed their
names to the list and there is
not a business man in the city
who should not also put his
name upon the list.
The amount asked for amounts
to but a trif1e per day to each
business house--just ten cents
per day--an amount which any
business man should willingly
subscribe for the purpose above
stated.
In less than twenty-four hours
time after the petition was
gotten out fifty-four of Wash
burns live wires had subscribed
their names and in order that all
may have an opportunity to fall
in line in this movement a coupon
is published herewith which
should be signed and forwarded
to either bank.
Washburn has for years main
tainad q Commercial Cluh which
has been instrumental in many
ways in building up the city but
the work has been done by in
dividuals without salary who
have looked after affairs when
opportunity afforded the time.
To become a Club worth while
it is necessary to have a man as
Secretary who will devote his
entire time to the work and this
is the plan which will be put
through.
There is not an individual or
business house in the city that
will not be benefited by the up
building of the city and there
fore the business people who
are back of the movement for
the up-building of a Greater
Washburn should be given the
support Of the public.
We this week publish a list Of
those who have signed the Pc
tttion and from week to week
we will publish the additional
names as they are handed in.
If you as a business man be-
lieve that Washburn is destined
to grow and you are willing to
do your share towards making
her grow, then append your
name to the petition or sign one
of the coupons. if you believe
adversely let some other fellow
take your place who will become
a real booster for the city's
future growth.
The time to act is now-let US

So Say We

Nels M. Oscar. who has filed
the office of county clerk with
satisfaction to the voters of Bay.
field County for period of years
is again seeking the Republican
nomination, and as in past years
his hundreds of friends through
out the county are carrying on
his campaign which will insure
him of the nomination again by
an overwhelming majority.
In the last weeks issue of the
Bay field Progress and the Bay
field Press the editors endorsed
his candidacy unsolicited in such
a manner that their readers will
have no doubt as to where they
stand.
Nels Oscar has filled the
office of county clerk in such a
manner that there is not a word
of com plant from anyone. but
on the other hand the voters
have come to look upon him as
the efficient, accommodating coun.
ty clerk, who never fails to find
time to answer all inquiries and
to give advice as to county mat
ters. whether the same is to be
found in his office or otherwise.
He is Bayfield, County's encyc-
lopedia for he knows every de-
tail of county matters and is a
valuable man to the county.
The voters know this and they
are going to return him to the
office with a handsome majority.
In this issue of The Progress
appears announcement of the
candidacy of Nels M. Oscar to
succeed himself as county clerk
of Bayfield, county. 1t is an
announcement which the voters
of the county should greet most
cordially, for they certainly
have no public servant more
trustworthy, more efficient or
more approachable and obliging
than in the present county clerk.
The post is a highly important
one and much. of tie county's
we'll being is dependent upon
the efficiency the incumbent
evidences in the administration
of it's duties. In this respect
Nels M. Oscar is lacking in not
the slightest degree. He has
filled the office many years, and
we believe that no flaw is find
able in his administration. He's
always been ION the job" and
always animated by a desire to
accommodate wheresoever &C.
com mediation could be given
without sacrifice of the county's
interest. To put Mr.. Oscar on
the shelf at this time, when his
ability to serve well is greater
even than it has been in years
past. would be grievous mis-
take.- a mistake that it hardly
seems probable the voters OF
Bayfield, county will make
Bayfield, Progress.
Nels M. Oscar, of Washburn,
who has so efficiently and
capably served the people of
Bayfield, county during the past
fourteen years as county clerk,
makes announcement this week
in another column, of his candi-
dacy for reelection. Mr.. Oscar
perhaps enjoys as large an &C.
ouaintance thruout the county
as any resident therein and
every person with whom he has
come in contact in any official
capacity, or otherwise, has come
to know him as a man of ability,
integrity and knowledge of
county affairs which peculiarly
fits him for the office to which

.SERIOuS AUTO ACCIDENT

A rather serious auto accident in
WHICH Wauseon autos and people
figured as the victims occurred about
one mile south of Fayette Sunday
evening. MIR. and Mrs. F. j. Spencer,
Mr.. and Mrs. Harry Merrill and little
daughter Mary, Mrs. Pearl RuckDe-
Shell, James and Donald Meyer were
returning from a day spent at Round
Lake. The party was divided in
two autos, Mr.. Spencer driving his
Cadillac car and James Meyer driv-
ing his fathers car, about one mile
South of Fayette Mr.. Spencer who
was behind the Meyer car attempted
to drive around and ahead of the
Meyer car; for some reason not clear
to any of the party, the big Cadillac
ear struck the forward wheels of the
lighter car spinning it around in the
road but fortunately not upsetting it.
The impact of the two cars was suf-
ficient to swerve the heavy Spencer
car into a shallow ditch along side
of the road turning the car complete
ly over and landing it right side up
against Page wire fence. The &C.
cupants of this car were thrown out
of the car and the car itself rolled
over them. Mr.. Spencer received
some ugly bruises on his head which
rendered him semi-conscious for some
hours; Mrs. Spencer was badly bruis-
ed and her back injured. Mrs. Merrill
received some bad bruises; Mr.. Mer-
ril had his hand badly hurt and re-
ceived some flesh wounds on his face.
Mr.. F. W. Meyer had one leg broken,
both bones Just above the ankle; little
Mary Merrill who was sitting on her
grandfather's lap when the accident
occurred escaped with a bruise on
one leg. James and Donald Meyer
had bruises that were slight in COM
parison with the injuries received by
the others and Mrs. Meyer and her
daughter Mrs. RuckDeShel escaped
with very light injuries. The cars
were both rather badly wrecked,
though the larger car seemed to get
the worst of it. DIR. R. w. Reynolds
of Fayette was called and came at
once to the scene of the accident, the
party was taken to Fayette. Messrs.
Harry Merrill, James and Donald Moy-
er came to Wauseon Monday and the
cars were also brought back to Wau-
seon after temporary repairs had
been made. Mrs. Meyer and Mrs.
RuckDeShel remained in Fayette to
care for the injured who were unable
to make the journey home Monday.
Tuesday morning Mr.. H L. Davis
went over to Fayette and brought
back Mr.. and Mrs. Spencer who made
the journey fithout suffering any
great discomfort and were both rapid
ly improving. Mrs. Merrill and Mr..
Meyer were so far recovered that
they were brought home Wednesday.

CHAUTAUQUA WEEK
Redpath Chautauqua In Wauseon For
The Second Time-Seven Days of
Real Pleasure Profit and Recreation
The Program For 1916.

The Redpath Chautauqua for 1916
is with us for the second program,
and we are ready to enjoy and profit
by the presence of the talent provid-
ed to give the 1916 program.
Most of the business places will
close at six O'Clock each evening dur
ing the Chautauqua, with the excep-
tion of Saturday in order to give
every one clerks as well as customers
an opportunity to attend the evening
sessions.
We thought last year when the
Chautauqua program came to an end
that it would be a hard matter in
fact pretty near impossible to produce
program on a par with the 1915
program, but from press reports that
have come to our attention we begin
to feel that we shall have to chance
our minds. Every member of the
1916 Redpath Chautauqua platform
has won high commendation in every
Ohio and West Virginia city in which
they have appeared this season.
Chaplain Kiplinger in his morning
lectures has made deep impression
upon the men and women who have
listened to him. The musical program
which reaches a grand climax on the
last night in the concert given by
Miss Nielsen has carried people into
raptures and the lecturers have left
each community visited richer and
better intellectually than they found
it. Friday afternoon The Maurer
Sisters give a musical prelude fol-
lowed by a monologue, "That Printer
of Udell's" by Everett Kemp Friday
evening the concert by the Maurer
Sisters and a lecture Taking Stock

is a lecture every one ought to hear
and consider. Saturday brings Sig
