Located Here

H. T. Larson. an expert veter-
marian, has located in this city
and has Offices at the Cal Wiley
livery barn. Mr.. Larson comes
to this city with recommends
tions and that he will find good
field for his labors here is the
belief of all.
It has boen a numb Der of years
since Washburn has had a Vet.
erinarian and the farmers and
horse and stockmen of this sec
ton have been compelled to send
out of town for man whenever
their stock has been sick or in
iured. With Mr.. Larson in the
city much time and expense can
be saved.

best mayors the city has ever
had and he will be given the
united support of the citizens.
The Mayor has suggested that
there is to be a cleaning up of
the city under his administra-

of the city which were laid out
for traffic will not be used as a
place for dumping garbage, ash

A. I. Gjemre of the Growers
Service Department of the Heinz
Pickle pany, is in the city
again this week and is going
over the district getting con.
tracts from farmers for the
growing of cucumbers for pick
ling again this season.
Mr.. Gjemre is meeting with
very good success and the farm
ers are coming nobly to the
front and are signing up their
contracts which will keep the

be secured, many of the farmers
becoming discouraged on ac-
count of the frosts of last year,
but after second thought tie
farmers realize that this was an
unprecedented condition and
they are willing to try ort the
cucumber growing again this
this season.
Those who are desirous of
signing contracts can get in

Fishing Season Opens May lat

The fishing season in Bayfield,
county opens on May 1st. Some
were of the opinion that the season
opened on April 18th, this Impress
ion being gained from a dispatch
which was sent out from Madison
during the past week. In some
counties the season opens on April
18th, but Bayfield, county is one of
the counties which opens at later
date.
This change will cause the fisher
men of this county no long wait for
the season never opens up much be-
fore this time.

More Siobe Somsu8 OOW1
Many of the merchants along
Bay field street are following up
the good suggestion ofremoving
the overhanging signs from
Bay field street before the paw
ing is started and this week
more signs were pulled down
and discarded to the waste heap.
The Gem Theatre pulled down
their overhanging sign the lat
ter part oflast week and instead
put . string Of lights around the
top and sides of the building
which is a great improvement
over the overhanging sign.
There are now only three
stores having the overhanging
signs in the two blocks extend
ing from Washington avenue,
east, and these have promised
that tnese will be taken down
within q very short time The
block farther east still sticks to
the overhangings signs, but when
they once notice the improve
ment in. the other blocks they
will nos be long in discarding the
ancienS method of advertising.
Let the good move continue.

Preparedness

Prepare for seven nights or
real entertainment starting next
Sunday evening when The Frank
Rich Company opens at the Gem
Theatre in a series of sure fire
farces with lots of music and
girls. "The Girl from Panama"
will be the first Offering, and it
is one af those shows with q
punch, the kind you like no
waits no delays. There will be
two shows nightly with a oom-
plete change each day. The
Bismark, N. d. Tribune says:
At the Grand theatre a large
audience witnessed the opening
performance of the Frank Rich
company. Owing to the fact
that the 500 Line was late, the
company gave only one show
and the audience waited patient
ly till the arrival OF the company
and baggage--and they were
we'll rewarded. for this company
is without doubt the best popu-
lar priced show that has ever
been seen in Bismarck. For
the opening, "The girl from
Panama" was the bill, and it
was a great laughing comedy.
AS the coIored orderly, who is
mistaken for a king, Geo. Bur-
ton is simply immense, and his
monkey song was real hit.
Frank Curfer as the soldier,
Elton Ralston as the cook and
Chas. Rice as the mayor were all
excellent, and among the ladies'
are the Misses Gardiner and
Schulz, both in very good parts,
won the hearts of the audience.
The chorus known as the 10th
Century Maids, is exceptionally
good. There were twelve musi-
cal mum bers, all of which were
very good, and the duet by Miss
Scbuler and Mr.. Confer was a
real musical treat. The CON-
pany will remain here all week,
with a complete change every
night. two shows each night.
