Wisconsin Telephon. Co.
doubled business past year
Will install common battery
sevice and other i'm
provements

Washburn is a growing and pro-
gressive city. This is evident to
everyone in and around the city.
The Wisconsin Telephone Com
pany makes careful and detailed
studies of growth of this charac-
ter. for all of it's future plans
depend largely upon the sound
ness Of these Investigations.
Experience shows that the re-
suits Of their expert calculations
regarding a city's future are es-
pecially accurate and thoroughly
to be relied upon. They have
shown by an actual family ac-
count that Washburn has grown
from a population of $3.50 in
1910 to approximately $500 in
habitants in 1915. They predict
that the city will continue to
have a healthy growth in the
future.
The business of the Wisconsin
Telephone Company in Wash
burn optimistically reflects the
progressiveness of this enter
prising city. During the past
year beginning June first, 1915
until June first 1916, the Wis
consin Telephone Company in
creased the number of their SUBJ
scribers by 316 subscribers or
over 143 per cent. There are
now 537 subscribers of the Bell
System in Washburn.
This remarkable growth has
necessitated that the matter of
larger quarters and more ade-
quate equipment be given i'm
mediate attention, Accordingly
the Company has leased quarters
on the second floor Of the new
building of the Estabrook-Downs
Company which will be con-
structed on Bayfield, Street be-
tween 1st and End Avenues
West. The work of excavating
the basement of the building
has been completed and every
effort will be made to complete
the building by August 1st.
The Bell Company will install
the common battery service in
Washburn at the time the ex-
change is cut over to the new
office so that subscribers will no
longer have to turn the crank to
call Central" or ring off. This
change from the magnetic"
service as the present type is
called, to the common battery"
service will cost the company a
considerable amount of money.
In connection with this, a new
and modern switchboard will be
installed at a cost of about
S8,OOO,OO. About fourteen thou
sand feet of cable will be placed
at a cost Of approximately
S11, 100000. This will eliminate a
great amount of open wire
throughout the city.
In cooperation with the White
Way project, the Bell Company
will remove a great many poles
from Bayfield, street. They will
also remove a large number Of
poles from 3rd street, Washing
ton Avenue, 4th street, 9th
Iavenue west and from 9Th ave-
nue. west.
It is the Bell Company's policy
to confne the erection of poles

HARRY STANLEY
TO DES MONIES
Muskics Will Probably Lose Another
Star Before Season Starts
Has Been Sent Contract.

MUSCATINE. Ia. Jan. 2S-Harry
r. Stanley who has been labeled
the best player ever seen in the Cen.
trail association" will not grace the
Muskie squad next season. according
to word coming from Des Moines.
Harry will be sent a Des Moines con-
tract and viii be given a chance to
replace Sawyer. who has gone up, at
second.
Stanley has had considerable hard
luck in his baseball experience, hav-
ing been up twice but failing to
stick on account of injuries and
sickness. He was regarded as one
of the best men on the local squad
last year, and although he played in
the outer garden, he is as good If no,
better in the infeld. When with Bur
lington in 1912. Stanley hit $40 and
lead the league in base stealing. He
was then sold to the st. Louis
Browns. where he as well as six 9TH
ers failed to supp1ant Bobby Wallace

The following dispatch from Des
Moines brings the news Of Shanley's
probable loss.
DIES MONIES, Jan. 2s.-Des
Moines baseball fans will not need to
worry much over the place at second
base made vacant by the loss OF Carl
Sawyer to the big league. Second base
for the Boosters will be held down
by Harry (Mike) Stanley next sea-
son. At least he will be sent con-
tract and he will undoubtedly make
good if he reports here. Stanley
tried out with the Des Moines club
last spring. He looked awfully good,
but was turned over to the Musca-
tine club, while Sawyer remained as
the Booster second sacker. In one
respect Stanley is one of the best
men on the local squad---he can steal
bases.

RED BALL ROUTE
WORK IS URGED
Time to Plan to Get Highway In
TO Good Shape This
Summer.
HENRY COUNTY IS BUSY
He Suggests That Keokuk Improve
Road into Missouri and That -
Merchants Would
Benefit.

Work on the roads of the Red Ball
route is urged by Robert N. Carson
originator and promoter, for this
coming spring. Mr. Carson suggests
that the county organizations plan
now for the work which will be done
on the highways this spring. He cites
Henry county as an example of pro-
gressiveness. The following clipping
tells what is being done there:
Robert N. Carson, president Of
the Red Ball association, is in re-
ceipt Of a letter from Mr. Hughes.
of the Henry county board of SUI
pervisors, that the county is max
ing plans to invest $4,000 IN I'M
provements on the Red Ball route
through its precincts. The board
intends to cut down few hills,
fill up few hollows and straight

The board intends to make the

AS the road runs through the geo
graphical center of the county, IT
will be possible to do this with
out showing favoritism in any
form.
The Red Ball route in this
county will be graded again in the
spring. County Engineer Fish
er has made arrangements to put
another tractor grading outfit to
begin work in the spring on the
county roads.
That the city of Keokuk should lend
its aid in making the Red Ball route,
south OF Keokuk, into a better high
way, is the suggestion of Mr.. Carson.
He refers to the road into Missouri
but permanent road con-
struction will ever help IN this sec

In whir1wfnd of basketball at the

Ing was the, second game. in which
the seemingly unbeatable Westmin-

Paufs, after hard and exciting
battle, in which there was something
doing all the time. This game puts
the Germans and Presbyterians on
the same footing again at the top of
The ladder. Just recovering from
their defeat at the hands of the St
Peters team Tuesday, the St Paul
hye came back in a grand rush and
were the aggressOrS against the Pres
byterlans throughout the game. The
other two were both played by Trim
fty, because of postponed games, one
against the Baptists in which the lat
ter won in easy style, 35-11, and the
other against the st. Peters team, in
which the Methodists won their first
game of the season, 1916. Inc Trim
lty team had large lead on the
