FIRST CARGO OF
PULP ARRIVES
Shipment Contains 10000 Bales of
Ground Pulp Wood
Large Crew Employed Night and Day
Unloading Cargo at Merchandise
Dock in this city

The Steamer Easton, a Cana
dian steamer, arrived in the city
last Friday with the initial ship
ment of ground pulp wood, the
cargo being shipped here by
Reid Brothers of Detroit, and il
is said that more boats are tc
follow with the same material.
The steamer carried a cargo
| of 10000 bales and the pulp has
been stored in the warehouse of
the Omaha company on the
Commercial Dock and will be
shipped from here to paper
mills throughout the Northwest,
The handling of this cargo. has
given employment to a large
number of men, and the ship
ment Of the pulp from this city
will also give employment to a
number.
While the boat was in port
crews were worked night and
day and the boat was not un-
loaded until Sunday evening.
The arrangements for the
shipment of this pulp was made
by Secretary Heermans of the
Commercial Club during the
early spring months and the
business is likely to grow and to
give employment to a number of
men. s- ,str
The pulp comes from points
in Canada. 1t is ground and
pressed into bales and the ship
ment is made by boats to a CEN
tral point and is then distributed
to paper mills throughout Wis
consin. There is lots of pulp
wood in Canada and it promises
to be a growing business. Wash
burn was selected as a distribut-
ing point after many other cities
had been investigated by mem
bers of the shipping firm and
the shipping facilities here ap-
pealed to them and they have
arranged to have their cargoes
come this way.
The unloading of this cargo at
the Commercial dock with the
large crew of men employed
gave something of the appear
ance of olden times when this
dock furnished employment to
hundreds of men. With the ex-
cellent shipping facilities here
business at the local dock is
likely to be revived again.

Mastering Officers We're Here Last
Friday and Saturday Taking Oaths
No SlackerS Appeared in Bayfield, COunty's
New Company of National
Guards.

Bayneld COunty'S new COM
pany of infantry is now a part
of the National Guard service of
the United States and within a
very short time the boys are ex-
pecting mobilization call which
will send them to one of the
training camps.
The examinations of the boys
was begun last Thursday even
ing by DR.. Vented of Ashland
who was appointed for that pur-
pose by Surgeon Gen. Seaman of
Milwaukee. The examinations
were not completed until Satur-
day. Twenty-seven of the
members of the new company
came from Iron River and three
from Drummond. The balance
were en- listed from this city.
Muster officer Major Rossiter
of Superior, accompanied by
Marshall Cousins of Eau Claire
came here Saturday morning
and began the work of muster
ing the boys into the National
Guard service. The Iron River
boys and the three boys from
Drummond were the first to take
the oaths which made them
soldiers of the United States and
during the balance of the, day
and evening the oaths werelad-
ministered to the Washburn
boys as rapidly as they could be
examined and their papers made
out.
A very small percentage of
the boys failed to pass the
military examinations and not
one of those who had signed the
call for the company failed to
put in an appearance.
They were complimented high
ly by Major Rossiter who said
they were as fine a bunch Of
boys as had ever been mustered
into the service and he said that
he would not be afraid to take
them anywhere even though
they had but little training for
he knew that they would make
good wherever they were taken.
These boys are now a part of
the new Sixth Wisconsin regi-
ment which is being organized
in Northern Wisconsin. Other
companies are being formed at
Ashland, Superior, Hayward,
Mellen, Phillips and ether points
throughout the northern part of
the state.
H. H. Peavey of this city will
become captain of the Bayfield,
County company upon entering
into the service. Mr.. Peavey
has worked hard in the organiza-
tion of the company and he will
continue to build it up to full
war strength before leaving for
the training camps, 1t is un-
derstood that if Bayfield, county
raises this company to war
strength that there will be no
conscription in the county for it
will have raised it's quote Of
men. Young men who are of
military age and who are liable
to be called to the service should
join the Bayfield, County COM
pany before the draft is put
into force. By doing so you will
become members Of the COM
pany in which your friends and
neighbors are a part.
Bayfield, County is proud of
the boys who have volunteered
their services to Uncle Sam and
we all know they will make
good wherever they are sent.

AND BOMB PLOTTERS
Washington, March 20. - Every
precautiOn against German spying or
German ruthlessness within the ma
ton is being taken by the govern
ment.
To guard against such things is
main answer behind orders calling
out fourteen militia regiments in
nine states.
That others may be called soon
seems likely today. Next logical step
along same line would be calling out
of Pacific coast militia. While these
forces stand guard over arsenals,
munitiOn plants, ship yards, docks,
big bridge spans and public buildings,
the navy is crowding its recruiting,
raising additional men authorized
when Pres. Wilson signed order max
ing maximum navy strength $1,000
men.
This strength will be increased to
100000 if present plans are carried
out by congress. While these war
like preparations proceed, the army
has completed a reorganization into
six departments.
The military arm proposes to take
no chances with German intrigues.
The Zimmerman - Mexican jap
anese plot and others convinced the
nation of extent to which Germany
could and would go. Now that war
grows daily nearer, the government
naturally fOresees the possibility Of
trouble within the nation, aimed at
such vital things as plants construct
ing ships or munitions.
AS for racial disturbances, that is
regarded as a possibility. If it comes
the militia is the likely policing force
to cope with it.
While war preparations continue
within the country, there is much
inspection of foreign problems.

He thought of the strange knife,
wrapped in a handkerchief under his
shirt, with it's bronze blade and gold
hilt in the shape of a woman dancing.
The woman dancing was astonishing
" like Yasmini, standing on the

She sang about the owners of the
stalled OK, who were busy at bay, de-
Tending themselves and their OK from
another wolf-pack in another direc-
ton far beyond"
She urged them to wait a little
while. The OK was big enough and
fat enough to nourish all the wolves
in the world for many seasons. Let
them wait, then, until another, great
err wolf-pack joined them, that they
might go hunting all together, over

They summoned God to come and

cause for their thunder there was no
more chance of being heard, she
dropped from the shield like bios

been heard in all that din, but one
could see she made no sound. The
shield-bearers ran back to the bridge

"Does the Spirit of France Mean An!

TNHIS was begun with the idea that
it was to be a peaceful discus
n sion of art. 1t was shifted to
discussion of war and the American
spirit. Isadora Duncan shifted it--sud-
denly and with a challenge to America
"a query whether the people in this
great land, with its huge population and
vast wealth, can appreciate and, II need
be. emulate the spirit of France.
Now, if there is one thing which has
seemed fairly well established during
all our war discussion, it is that the
average American has more than
sneaking fondness for France. Bel
GUMS troubles have aroused much
sympathy, even if they haven't pried
many dollars off Uncle Sans bank-roll.
England's bulldog grit, Germany's eil-
cheney and wonderful organizing power
have awakened our admiration. But
France-the France which rolled back
the gray-clad hosts almost from the
very gates of Paris, and at Verdun said
"'They shall not pass and right there
stopped and held the Crown Prince and
the pick of his regiments-the France
which has been efficient though human,
and which has shown bulldog grit along
with Gallo esprit-that France has kin
died fire in the souls of thousands on
thousands Of Americans.
Because of that it has seemed to me
particularly fitting that one of the
noblest and most inspiring interpreta-

men to do and die has been given by an
