danger OF a monopoly Of that and set
up another shout. Ever since then the
yellow press has been screaming. The
government withdrew all coal lands
from entry, and 1t now refuses to
grant patents to that which had been
properly located. We don't own a

fuel from British Columbia, just like
O'Neil and Gordon. Those who would

vented from doing So"
1T sounds well to hear you tell It,"
said Eliza. But the minute the coal
patents are issued you will buy what
you want, then freeze out the other
people. You expect to control the
mines, the railroads and the steamship
lines, but public necessities like coal
and oil and timber and water power
should belong TO the people. There
has been an awakening OF the public
conscience, and the day of monopolized
necessities is passing"
a long as men w coal mines they
will sell them. Here we are faced NOT
by a question Of what may happen,
but Of what has happened. If you
agreed to buy a city lot from a real
estate dealer and after you paid him
his price he refused to give you a
deed. you'd at least expect your money
back, wouldn't you? Well, that's the
case Of Uncle Sam and the Alaskan
miners. He not only refuses to deliv-
er the lot, but keeps the money and
forces them to pay more every year.

White Way IS
GIVEN BIG BOOST
Business Men Subscribe Hea-
Willy to Fund.
Propose to Pay for Equip
ment if City Will Main
tain System.

The matter of securing an Or
namental lighting system for
that part of Bayfield, street to
be paved this summer was given
a big boost at a meeting of the
Commercial Club held on Tues
day afternoon.
At the last meeting of the
Club a committee was appointed
consisting of F. T. Beers, E.
Bergman, and d. M. Maxcy,
the duties of this committee be-
ing to get an estimate of the
cost of installing the system, to-
gether with other figures, and
these were presented to the
Club at a special meeting held
on Tuesday.
The meeting was largely at
tended and there was not per-
son in the audience that spoke
against the proposition, but al
most everyone was in favor of it.
The proposition as outlined by
the committee was to get the
business men and property own
ers to pay for the system and
then it is proposed to go before
the council at their next meet
ing and have that body author
ize the maintenance of the light
ing.
In less than twenty minutes
nearly 81, 900 was subscribed by
the business men present and a
committee consisting of E. Berg
mann, Jake Segal and Amos M.
Hansen was appointed to see
those not present at the meet
ing. 1t is believed that the adj
tional amount needed will be
easily raised as almost every
one seen has been willing to
subscribe.
The telephone and light poles
along Bayfield, street are to be
removed from the streets and
this will leave the city without
main street lighting unless some
other system is arranged and it
is thought advisable at this time
to install the ornamental system.

Was Here Last Thursday.

Senator Otto Bossard of Lacrosse,
accompanied by S. A. Oscar of Mad
ison and DR.. Campbell of Richland
Center, was in the city last Thursday
evening and Friday morning, the Sen
ator having come to this city for the
purpose of meeting the citizens here.
Senator Bossard is a candidate for
governor on the Progressive Repub-
lican ticket. A meeting was held at
the Commercial Club Thursday even
ing, being presided over by Mayor A.
w. Macleod, and after meeting those
present the senator was called upon
for a few remarks, being introduced
by S. A. Oscar who explained how the
senator became a candidate for the
position of governor. In beginning his
remarks the senator said that he did
not at this time want to infiict upon
his hearers any political ideas but he
gave a very fine talk. Several local
men were also called upon for re-
marks.
The senator intimated that he
might return to this city again for an
address as the campaign became far
ther advanced.

THREE HURT WHEN BIG CHIMNEY
CRASHED THROUGH SCHOOL ROOF

ceived the greatest pile of brick
and was entirely demolished.
Others escaped injury by being
absent.
The room where the accident
occurred was an awful looking
mess. Brick and plaster was
scattered everywhere, seats
were splintered and cracked,
and a Gaping hole in the roof
shows where the pile of brick
came through. Some idea of
the weight of the brick can be
gained by looking at the build
ing where it went through.
Rafters were snapped off and
joists were cracked. Lath and
plaster is torn off in great holes.
AS a result of the accident
there will be no school in this
building until the repairs can be
made.

Fined for Dynamiting Fish.

That it does not pay to violate the
game laws was learned by Larry Lehto
and Jonas Legto, two Finland rs l3v-
ing in the Finnish settlement, north
of the city. These men were given
trial in the Municipal court at Bay
field last Saturday, both being charged
with dynamiting fish, or otherwise
violating the game laws.
Harry Lehto was sentenced to spend
thirty days in the county Jail for
having trout in his possession before
the opening of the season and Jonas
Legto was fined $50 and also SEN
fenced to 60 days in the county jail
for dynamiting fish in Sioux river.
Harry Lehto, who was alleged to have
taken part in the dynamiting, was let
go on that charge upon turning states
evidence.
The dynamiting of the fish was said
to have occurred on April goth. All
three men were arrested by Game
Wardens Arthur Childs of Ashland
and A. w. Powell of Bayfield,. Com
plant had been made to them that
fish were being dynamited in 500 river
and they camped on the banks Of the
stream for several nights and finally
landed the trio.

Streets Being Improved.

During the past week Street Fore
man Joseph Arseneau has had crew
of men and teams at work improving
many of the streets of the city and
the improvement has been very notice
able.
Mr.. Arseneau started work on West
Bayfield, street and this street was put
in a fine state of repairs. His atten-
ton was then directed to Washington
avenue, which needed considerable
work. The sides of this street were
cut down and the center rounded up
and it is now a pretty looking street.
Fifth street west has also been
graded up and Mr.. Arseneau will con-
tinue the work until many of the
streets of the city have been gone
over.

Caught in Cave-in

Charles Johnson, who has the
contract for digging the sewers
on east 3rd street in the vicini-
ty of the Dupont and Peavy
residences, had a very narrow
escape last Friday afternoon
from being smothered to death
as a result of a cave.in of the
sewer. Johnson was buried un-
der many feet of earth and it
took twenty minutes of hard
digging to uncover him.
The dirt caved in around
Johnson in such a manner that
there was a little room around
his head which permitted him to
get a little air, otherwise he
would have died before he could
have been dug out.
Physicians were on the job
when the man was dug out but
Johnson came through without
any serious effects, other tEan
a few bruises.

CITY GIVEN
THORO CLEANING
Cleanup Weeks Will End
on Saturday Night
Citizens Generally Cooper
ated With Officials in
General Cleanup.

Washburn's cleanup cam
paign will end on Saturday even
ing of this week and the work
that has, been done along this
line during the past two weeks
has been very noticeable in the
appearance of the streets and
alleys Of the city.
People generally have Coop
Grated with the city administra-
tion in the general cleanup, but
some difficulty has been expert
enced in getting teams with
which to haul the rubbish away
and this work will be continued
by the city street department
until the work has been COM
pleted.
Mayor Macleod and the mem
bers of the city council are 60
ing to see to it that the city is
kept in a clean condition during
all months of the year and the
ordinance prohibiting the dump
ing of dirt, rubbish, ashes, etc.,
unto the streets or alleys of the
city is to be rigidly enforced.
The cleanup campaign is to
be followed by a paint-up and
beautifying campaign. The
Woman's council, organized last
week. is going to encourage the
planting of flowers and shrub
berry along the boulevards and
the otherwise improving of lots,
etc.
Washburn is beginning to take
on the looks of an up-to-date city
and we are glad to see the
people cooperate with the city
administration.

HEAVY WIND
DOES DAMAGE
Several Plate Glass Windows
Broken Monday
Wind Tears Down Signs,
Overturns Small Buildings
and Works Havoc.

The heavy wind storm of Mon
day did considerable damage
about the city to plate glass win
dows, overhanging signs. etc.
The wind blew a gale during the
day, calming somewhat toward
evening.
Among the places where plate
glass windows were broken
were the Posey grocery store,
the Gem Theatre, Paulson's shoe
store. and the Ransome restau-
rant. The overhanging sign in
front of the Arcade was blown
down and several out buildings
were toppled over.
John Monsos's laundry wagon
suffered some damage as a re-
suit of the wind. The wagon
was standing in front of the old
Town Hall when it was caught
by the wind and toppled over,
throwing the horse. The horse
and wagon turned over several
times before being brought to a
stop.
The day was clear, but the
wind is the heaviest this city
has had in some time.

Win Opening League Game
by Score of 3 to Q
Hundreds of Fans From This
City Accompany the Team
to Ashland.
Number 8

In the opening game OF the
Northwestern Interstate League
between Ashland and F. L.
Beers Club team from this city
the boys from across the pond
were defeated bysthe Powder
Boys" by a score of 3 to o.
The game was played on the
grounds at Ashland and for an
opener" was full of thrills and
a good game from start to finish.
Dugan was on the mound for
Washburn while l.. Hansen was
on the receiving end and these
two worked we'll together,
striking out eight of the Ash
landers and allowing but six
hits which were well fielded,
allowing no runs.
Washburn started the scoring
in the first inning when Catcher
L. Hansen struck out a double.
Starr followed with a ground
ed which was not fielded, Hansen
scoring and Starr being re-
tired when he attempted to make
second.
Ashland's end of the first in
ming ended disasterously for
them. After making three hits
the side was retired without
scoring, due to poor base run
ming.
Washburn added another score
in the sixth when Dudra got life
on Dockstander's error, stole
second and on Carlin's effort to
nip him off second, came all the
way home when the ball passed
out to the outfield.
Washburn's third score was
made in the seventh when Starr
singled, was forced to second by
Cook on a fielder's choice, and
made home on a smashing two
Dagger by Catcher Hansen.
The game was a thriller from
start to finish. Ashland's only
chance of scoring was in the
ninth when Herin led off with a
two base drive, advancing to
third on an infield out. The
next two men up for Ashland
famed the air, closing the game.
The Beers Club team showed
up we'll in the opening game and
the lineup gives promises of
developing into fast team be-
fore the season is far advanced.
Hansen, the new catcher, Is a
whirlwind. He has no difficulty
in stopping the ball, can peg to
second from almost any position
and is a moose when it comes to
batting.
The Washburn aggregation is
we'll supplied with pitchers, hav-
ing four men who can cut the
bases with their curves. The
infield is fast one and the out
field would be hard to improve.
The home club is backed by the
F. T. Beers Club of this city.
The following was the lineup
! of the Washburn team in the
opening game;
Catcher L. Hansen, Pitcher
Dorgan, 1st Hansen, Short
Whitman, End Cooke, 3rd Dudra
left field Starr, center field
Posey-Peterson, right field Mac
