bayfield, Man Enters for Re-
publican Nomination
Walter A. Duffy of Moquah
is Also a Candidate
for the Place

There are now two candidates
in the field for the. republican
nomination for Assemblyman
from bayfield, County, q. w.
Denlston of Bayfield, having cast
his hat in the ring and Will be-
come a candidate Tor Athe place.
Walter A. Duffy of Moquah, who
represented the district during
the past two years, Is also can
didaIe for reelection.
Mr.. Denlston,s candidacy was
the result Of a great deal Of
pressure brought to bear upon
him to run by friends and
others who believed a change
was needed.
From all parts of the county
Mr.. Deniston is receiving as
surances of support andahe will
very likely make a strong run
tor the republican nomination.
Mr.. Deniston is we'll qualified
for the place which he seeks and
should he be elected the voters
may rest assured that Bayfield,
county will be ably represented.
He is forceful orator, a deep
thinker and one Of the ''live-
wires of the district.
Since coming to Bayfield, some
years ago Mr.. sEiiSton has been
engaged in the real estate and
farming business, but although
his business took up a large part
of his time, yet he always SEEM
ed to find opportunity to boost
for Bayfield, county wherever
he could.
Mr., Deniston is not tied to any
particular faction of the Repub-
lican party and he was not
brought into the field by any
clique of faction, but his can
didacy is the result of the de-
mand for change in our repre-
sentation in the lower branch of
the legislature.
That Mr.. Deniston will make
an active campaign is known by
the fact that the man never
goes into anything half-hearted-
| ly. Mr.. Deniston is not a politi-
clan, but is a business man of
keen intellectual ability and
foresight. He is alive to the
needs of the north Wisconsin
region and his efforts in the
legislature if elected will be to-
ward having laws passed that
will be of benefit to this region.

J|TNEY DANCE TONIGHT
Given Under the Auspices Of
the Woman's Council at
Dupont Park.

Rain may have interfered with
the Jitney Dance which was to
have been given last evening by
the Woman's Council at the Du-
Pont Park Addition Pavilion,
yet promising weather indicates
that there will be even a larger
crowd there this evening.
The Woman's Council have
announced that the dance which
was advertised for last evening
will be held tonight. Music for
the occasion will be furnished
by the Peterson orchestra.
This will be strictly a Jitney
dance, five cents for the ride to
DUPONT Park, five cents for each
dance and five cents for refresh
ments.
The last dance given by the
Woman's Council was so popular
that it is thought with favorable
weather the capacity of the
dancing pavilion will be taxed.
The proceeds as a restlt of this
dance will be used for helping
to build the bath house on the
lake shore.

Defeated Beers Club in Game
Here Last Sunday
Was an Exciting Contest but
Bad Plays Lost Game
for Home Team.

By the defeat of the F. T.
Beers Club base ball team on
the grounds in this city last Sun
day afternoon the team from
Hurley climbed to the top of the
ladder in the league.
Park Falls and Hurley were
tied for the Pennant before last
Sundays game but Hurley's
defeat of Washburn and the
defeat of the Park Falls team at
Ashland put the Hurley team in
the lead.
The game played in this city
was an exciting one and should
have been won by the home team
had it not been for few costly
errors which let in scores.
Goulet was on the mound for
the locals and pitched a strong
game, allowing but few hits, one
of which was a home run. He
was given good support by the
balance of the team but a wild
throw in an effort to catch man
on bases, and several fumbles at
critical times lost the game for
the Powder boys.
The score was five to two.
For several innings the score
was tied.

Plans for building operations by

ana jetty must be submitted TO the
War Department, according to Major
Johnston, Of the United States Engi-

of the action of the Secretary Of War

Delaware river between the points
mentioned. Until the harbor line was
abrogated operations extending out to
those lines could have been under

II is pointed out that the lines were
abrogated to allow a change to be

Flare Up at Bethlehem Steel
Plant Destroys Big Build
ing But Spares Life
Three FIRE COMPANIES
PREVENT fire SPREAD

Fire destroyed a large casting
house at the shell loading plant of
the ethlehem Steel Corporation, a
few miles below New Castle shortly
before o'clock this morning and
only the prompt arrival Of the he
lance and Liberty Fire Companies Of
this city, who had been summoned by
telephone, prevented the flames from
spreading to other buildings nearby.
The building destroyed contained
twelve hundred pounds of Trinitrotol-
uol, known in the power trade as
IT. n. T." a powder used in loading
steel shells
The fire was confined to the one
building, which measured about forty
by thirty feet. Nine men in the house
at the time had a narrow escape
from death by flames. Andrew Buck
man. foreman in charge of the house
had just placed the fourth bucket
full of the powder into tank in
which II was being mixed preparatory
to being casted. when the tank of ex-
plosives burst forth into flames. Buck
man had stepped from the platform
on which the tank rested, otherwise
he would have been burned about
the face If not blinded.
George II. Hyde, another workman,
who had deposited two buckets Of the
IT. n. T." into the tank was the first
one to discover the FIRE and he gave
the alarm.
All of the men employed in the
house we're compelled to run for their
lives and as they reached the door

was licking at their trouser legs.
