Turned Him Down

+ Washburn will not have
summer Chautauqua this year,
having declined the proposition
of the Lincoln Chautauqua's S
representative who visite d here
this week.
It was the consensus of Opin'
ion that inasmuch as Bayfield,
already had summer Chautau-
qua, Washburn should do as she
had in the past stand by the
Bayfield, enterprise and support
and patronize it.
Secretary Heermans of the
Commercial Club discouraged
the proposition when presented
to him and interviewed num-
Der of the officials, directors and
mem bers of the Com mercial
club, all of whom backed him
up.
"In the first place., said the
secretary, "the principle is
wrong, for professional enter
tainment organization TO come
into this city and demand a
81 900 guarantee from business
men for Chautauqua. These
Chautauquas are not willing to
stand alone and take the risk or
any risk. in putting on their
entertainment. If we ever have
a chautauqua, I favor the state
University Cha dtauqua which is
a Wisconsin institution"
The representative left town
fully satisfied that he could not
get the 81 900 guarantee. Sec.
retary Heermans also consulted
the Woman's Council, which
was of the same opinion.

Propose to Hold it During

In order that the Extension

time to arrange for one of the
biggest institutes ever held in

unanimously voted to hold an
other institute during the early
fall of this year and the Presi-
dent and Secretary have been
ordered to enter into a contract

This action was taken in or

Wakefield, Michigan, and Iron

The high school team journeys
to Michigan on Friday where
Wakefield and Iron wood will be
played. Practice was resumed
on Monday at the Opera House,
and the weak points in the tea M s
play partly overcome.
>. The Northland game last F ri.
day brought out two good men
who can be used at the forward
position, Olson and Alf Ander.
son. Benton at center is an ex.
cellent man to feed the ball to
them and between the three the
offense ought to be exceptionally
strong. The defense is still
weak, against fast teams.
The boys are far from dis
couraged however, on the con-
trary, they come back each
game more determined than
ever to win and with that spirit,
Ashland does not loom up as
being incapable of defeat. The
Ashland team has played North
land College in practice and was
defeated by them by large
scores, whereas Washburn held
Northland to the score of % to
II.
After the Ashland game on
the Goth the team goes to Bay
field on the 9th.

What is the population of

What is the population ol
Wasiburn?
This query, which probably
not one person in the city car
correctly answer. is about To be
answered by a corps of 13 higl
school students who will start
out Saturday to take the censu
of Washburn, street by street
and house by house.
Taking the census of Wash
burn was inaugurated by Sec
retary Heermans of the Wash
barn Com mercial club last week
when he called upon Supt. g.
D. Hyper of the city schools for
volunteer census takers.
The young people named below
responded promptly and Secre-
tary Heermans met with them
and divided the city into dis
tricts as follows:
District A Ted Terriault,
Clay ton Robinson and Bernard
O'Sullivan.
District B-Anna Erickson and
Anna Peterson.
District c. Paul Ungrodt and
Stanlry Koenlg.
District Oman Buzard, Grace
Maxcy and Marion Segal.
District E Grace Morgan,
Grace Ceaseand Joseph Froncek.
1t is an important work and
all citizens and householders are
urged to give prompt and cour-
teous aid to the young people
when they call. The work will
be done on Saturdays and when
completed the workers will be
given dinner, when they will
discuss the results and their
experiences.
The secretary of the Com
mercial club says that TO boost
Washburn without knowing how
many people reside here, would
be going at matters wrong. The
last census of several years ago
showed out 3, 800 population. 1t
is estimated now that it will go
as high as 5000 to 1000.

Hitting the Nail

Secretary Heermans of the
Commercial Club hit the nail on
the head in his circular issued
Tuesday in which he urged
Washburn people to withhold
their support from any institut-
ion that was not direct benefit
to Washburn. In the past too
much money from this city has
gone out for investment in
foreign fields and the returns
have never been what the in
vestors have expected that they
would be and the slogan wash
burn for All and All for Wash
burn" should now be the one in
which all people of the city
should become interested in
first.

The institute which will be
held at Washbu Jan. 25th and
26th is not regular Farmer S
Institutes but are special fruit
and G .rden institutes.
There will be but two speak
ers, Mr.. D. E. Bingham of Stur-
geon Bay, who is an expert or
chardist and N. G. Rasmussen
of Oshkosh, a highly successful
market gardener and grower of
small fruits. These men are
we'll known to Bayfield, fruit
growers and will need no intro
duction.
These splendid fruit and gar
den Institutes, conducted jointly
by the State Horticultural
Society and the department of
Farmers Institutes, are not an
experiIn ent by any means.
The Horticultural Society has
successfully conducted insti-
tutes of this kind for five yeal s
altho but few of them have been
held owing to lack of funds.
This year we have substantial
support from the institute de-
partment. We have always in
cluded the Bayfield, section in
our list as the interest has al
ways bt en- keen there and we
sincerely hope it will be so this
year. In no other place in Wis
consin have we found so many
people willing and anxious to
learn.
We are coming again this
year on the dates mentioned
above and we tope every fruit
grower in Bay field County will
attend one or both of these in
stitutions. Prepare a list of
questions beforehand and either
hand in your written list or
shoot the questions at the
speakers during the meetings.
The speakers would much
rather answer your questions
than make "speek''.
No one who is interested in
fruit or vegetable growing
either for market Or home can
afford TO miss these institutes.

furnishing the movable and in
movable furniture, including
rails, desks, etc. was awarded to
the Scott Taylor company of
Ashland.
The bidding on the contract

tractors having bids. They were
as follows:
Anton Johnson, $3564.OO
Charles Bloss $3647 90
J. A. Sheridan s3729,OO
The bids for furnishings, etc.

The present court room will be
cut down in size, and a partition
extended across the room MAX
ing it an oblong room. The new
room will face east and west.
The rooms now used for the jury
room and the District Attorneys

the length of the new courtroom
and the new jury room and a
room for the County Superin-
tendent Of schools will be made
out of the space taken off the

the new furniture to be installed
in the room.
The work being done has been
deemed necessary for a good
many years by Judges and At
torneys and others who have had
to make use of the room.
The work was authorized at
the last meeting of the County
Board of Bayfield, county and
when completed will give Bay
field county one Of the best court
