ELECT EARL HUTCHINSON "kING"
Former Ladysmith Young Man Sig
naIIy Honored at Oregon
City, Oregon

Earl Hutchinson, a former Lady
smith boy, and we'll known here,
was signally honored at Oregon City,
Oregon, his present home, where he
was recently elected as king of the
Booster Day carnival and celebration.
An extract from the Oregon City
Morning Enterprise is of interest:
"Queen Rose and King Earl will
reign supreme in Oregon City Sat
urday. The entire town will be un-
der their control every citizen their
willing subject. Even Governor
Withycombe will lose his authority
as chief executive in the state as
far as Oregon City is concerned for
the day. All hail their gracious maj
estes.
The committee in charge of the
coming celebration selected Miss
Rose Uptegrove-the queen to be
several days ago, but it was not UNI
til Wednesday night that the con-
test for the king was Completed anu
the election of Earl Hutchinson, the
candidate of the Hawley Pulp &
Paper Company, was determined.
Mr.. Hutchinson won the honor by
a wide margin. Harold A. Swafford,
of the Crown Willamette paper
Company, stands second, but he is
over a million and half votes be-
hind the successful candidate"
Mr.. Hutchinson left Ladysmith for
the west two years ago last January
and is the son of H. III. Hutchinson,
formerly of this city. He graduated
from the Ladysmith highschool with
the class, of 1913.

LADYSMITH POTASH WORKS
BEING ENLARGED AND MORE
MEN BEING EMPLOYED
COMPETITION IS NOW VERY KEEN
Success CT Venture Depends, How
ever, On Whether Raw Material
Can Be Purchased Cheap
Enough

Since it's inception early last fall
little has been said of the potash
plant that is located on this side of
the Flambeau river near the east
county bridge. New additions and
enlargements have been added to
the plant from time to time until
now it ranks with a certain degree
of Importance among local industries.
At the present time plans are being
formulated for the erection Of two
new teaching vats, which when com
pleted will more than double the
capacity of production.
Regular shipments of potash are
made each week to Chicago and
eastern cities and the factory has
now on hand over 100 tons of raw
ashes stored in the warehouse, that
is part of the plant, to be leached
into chemical fertilizer. Since the
beginning of the war the price of
potash has taken a tremendous adj
vance and small plants have sprung
into existence throughout the coun-
try because of the demand for this
chemical.
In an interview with a NeWs-Bud-
get reporter, f. A. Zittleman, man
ager of the plant, said:
"The potash business, since the
beginning of the war, has become a
precariOus game. With the publicity
given the country over of the rise
in price of potash, so-called potash
experts have been in a grand scram-
BILE attempting to establish plants at
different places throughout this
country with the get-rich-quick idea
influencing their plans. Consequent
ly the larger potash producers have
been sending Representatives to the
mills and factories burning wood and
offering high prices for the ashes
from their furnaces that hitherto
have been a waste product. Some
of these same men have made repre-
sentations to the managements of
Ladysmith mills with the result that
am now forced to pay for raw
ashes that formerly | was able to
secure for the mere labor of remov-
ing them. AS high as seven dollars
a ton has been offered by outside
concerns for high grade ashes.
"Most of the potash plants being
erected and operated during the past
year are no more than fy-by-night
concerns that will cease their eX-
istence with the closing of the war.
I am here to stay, however, and will
make this plant a permanent Lady
smith industry. | like the city and
l am more than pleased with the
treatment accorded me by it's
people,"
Mr.. Zittleman stated that during
the coming winter he plans on dis
tributing about one hundred large
sheet iron cans to responsible peo-
pie in the city for collection of wood
ashes from their stoves and furnaces
for which he will pay the regular
market price. The same thing will
be done at Bruce.

BUSINESS SHOWS GREAT GAIN

Comparison of the business done
by the Ladysmith creamery this
year and last shows a very crafty
ing Increase. The amount of butter
fat received is 19 per cent greater,
while the amount paid out for but
ter fat has increased 81 per cent.
This phenomenal increase in the
revenue the creamery patrons have
received is due largely to the high
prices that have prevailed this year.
