objection to the paving being

fused to do and the motion
authorizing the work done went
though a-sailing.
The plans and specifications
are now complete and as soon as

c 1ming Summer to be a Ban.
ner One For City
Every Indication That Enor-
nous Business will be done
Here This Season.

Never before in the history of
Washburn was the business out
look for the summer as promis-
ing a. it is at the present time
and every one has great faith
that it will be the banner year in
the history Of the city.
. In addition to the large num-
Der of men that will be employed
at the plant Of the Dupont Com
pany at Barksdale there are
many other things that will tend
to make business lively in the
city.
The plant, it is said, will en-
ploy upwards of two thousand
men during the summer months
and time alone can tell to what
proportions this mammoth in
stitution will grow. Much build
ing operation will be done at the
plant the coming summer.
The big mill of the j. S.
Stearns Lumber company will
operate full blast the coming
season, giving employment to
upwards of one hundred men.
The lumber market is looking
much brighter this season and
in addition to the mill crew a
large number will be given en-
plcynssnsin tIIeihandling Of lum-
Der.
The Sprague Lumber company
will undoubtedly operate on
large scale the coming summer.
The company recently closed a
deal for the purchase of a large
tract of standing timber in
northern Michigan and plans
are now being made for summer
logging in this tract, the timber
to be RATED to this city where it
will be sawed in the Sprague
mill.
The box and Grating factory
of the Kenfeld-Lamoreaux COM
pany will have big year the
coming season. This plant is
now running night and day and
the prospects are that the busi-
ness will be heavy the coming
season. The company is now
installing in their factory a new
mailing machine which will be
ready in the course OF a few
days. 1t is one of the most up
to-date plants in the country.

DUPONT Co. Seeks Airship

The following article appeared
in the Superior Telegram of
yesterday:
"While they do not believe
that the mysterious aeroplane
which has been seen at Superior
and other northern Wisconsin
points is engaged in operations
directed against their plant at
Barksdale, officers of the Du.
Pont Powder company are de-
termined to find out what is the
meaning of the noctural trips of
the flying machine.
Detectives have been employed
by the company to run down the
aeroplane to it's base if possible
and to ascer tain the "why-for"
of the unacountable journeys of
the craft, practically all of which
have been made at night.
"Of course, any one has a per.
feet right to go flying around in
an aeroplane at night if he en-
joys it these cold nights but we
are just curious enough to want
to know what it is all about"
said DUPONT company man.
commenting on the employment
of the detectives. Zone thing
we are convinced Of and that is
that there is no intention of the
aviator to damage the Barksdale
plant. If there was, it would
have been done long ago, and not
after everyone knows of the
aeroplane and is on the lookout
for it.

Vote for Pay For Alderman

Councilman Henry Johnson
proposed that the aldermen of
the city receive as compensation
for their services the sum of
two dollars per meeting and
after some discussion on this
question a vote was finally taken
the vote being as follows; For
paving alderman; Johnson,
White, Faulk, Holgren, Peterson
and Enouf. Against; Lysager
and Robinson.
The law provides that a three
fourths vote of the council elect
