Certainly men make cities. Mr..
Clendennin is right. But for men
to make their city something, they
must first be men and that means
to get rid of personalities, animosi-
ties, factionalism, and greed. The
time is not far hence when the
Secretary of Washburn' Commercial
club must call the roll, with every
man and every contributor present
and ask some plain questions. We
have no axes to grind but to serve
this city faithfully and well. Nor
are we going to allow any coterie of
men afraid of advancement and
afraid to take the initial steps toward
city building, to defeat this work.
If it becomes necessary to call the
roll, every man interested in this
city will have a chance to be heard.
Let's get together, men, and be
ready for action when the time comes.

Washburn' desire to grow and ex-
pand surely extends to every citizen
within the city. If there is any man
who is satisfied with present condi-
lions he is abnormal. He is there
fore subject to a change of heart or
elimination from the scene of pro-
gress. Accepting the hypothesis
that every good citizen-wage Garner
salalied man or capitalist, does want
more business here, the scheme
should include all such, whether
they be members of the Commercial
club, special contributors or not.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-22

No particular group of men are
specially ordained of God to make a
new city out of Washburn. 1t is
community business and no group of
men should stand in the way of this
important work. But time will
show that some men will act more
promptly and enthusiastically than
others just who they are has not
yet developed. But this work and
it's successful termination need not
depend upon any small group-if
every man who gets his living in
this city will take this work to HIM
self, attend the meetings, abolish
prejudice and taboo politics from the
movement and get down to work
with the secretary.

The city of Superior is paying a
Boston man William Clend ennin,
the sum of $500. a week to make a
survey ofthat city, arouse the citizens
to action and get the commercial or
ganization revived properly to handle
the new plan which Superior. like
Washburn, is working out. Here is
what the $500. a week man told SUI
perior business men in a speech the
other night. See if it reads any
thing like Washbu Commercial
Secretary has been saying for weeks:
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1917-03-22

Criticism, back-biting, greed, dog
in-the-manger policies-those are
the enemies of all towns and cities
that are struggling to get somewhere.
In time, the exercise of getting out
and rubbing elbows together and
working hard for some one object,
will dissolve these distractions. 1t
is high time that the men of Wash
burn take private counsel with them
selves and see if they are indulging
in any of these things. If so, then
let shame humiliate them that they
come out in the open and offer their
services for this movement.

"Men make cities" said Clenden-
min. 1t isn't resources, it ism t
natural advantages of situation, it,
isn't the superabundance of raw
materials and the rich gifts ofnature,
it isn't even the transportation that
makes a municipality. The riches
of nature are the gifts of God. And
it is an old saying, old as the Eden
trees, yet as new as new-cut tooth,
that God made the country but man
makes the cities.

it isn't even the transportation that
makes a municipality. The riches
of nature are the gifts of God. And
it is an old saying, old as the Eden
trees, yet as new as new-cut tooth,
that God made the country but man
makes the cities.
This brilliant and able man from
Boston, hired by Superior to wake
them up, then goes on in his first
address to the business men, after
making the industrial survey aDd
cites the cities of the land which
made themselves, through the enter
prise, self-sacrifce, push and CO.
operation of their own citizens. He
names Los Angeles, which has no
seaport and the men of the city lift
ed themselves by their own boot
straps until they have 5000 popu-
lation. He names Houston, Texas,
Seattle and even Chicago :" Chicago
the worst cesspool, the most hope
less, miserable, low-lived impossible
municipal site under the blue dome.
What made it? Men made Chicago.

ing part of Clendennin S speech,
which Superior people are now quot
ing and praising, see if it does not
ring very true to what Washburn S
Commercial Secretary has been print
ing in these columns for week. He
said:
"The city of Superior may be well
known at home, loved and appreci-
ated to the fullest extent and in the
most devoted measure by you who
live here, but that is not enough.
Those cities which attracted most
successfully the incoming of factories
iobbers, wholesalers. and like, have,
without any exception SO far as am
aware, been compelled to do what
Christianity itself did. namely, to
carry the word out to the whole
world outside. You must carry
your message to Garcia. If the
mountain will not come to Mahomet,
Mahomet must 60 to the mountain.
You cannot expect people of the
United States and especially the
busy manufacturers of Detroit and
Boston and Philadelphia and Pitts
burgh to be agitated by any particular
curiosity in regard to the advantages
of Superior until you by some
reasonable and proper method sue
ceeded in piquing that curiosity, at
tracing their attention, rousing
their interest, and exciting them to
come and look and see for themselves
the things that are here.
"You cannot assume primary in
terest on the part of a non-resid emf
manufacturer. He doesn't know
anything about Superior, and what
is much more serious. he cares less.
sit is for you to prepare your
case, to make ready a clear presen-
tation in a business-like way of what
YOU have here, reduce it to form and
have it in shape so that when you
have an inquiry that comes voluntar-
ily, or when you 60 out after fac
tories and secure your audience, with
executives of industrial enterprises
and get your chance for your day in
court, you will have your authorities,
your citations, arguments, facts and
figures, formulated. tabulated and
ready. 1t requires 40 men to serve

Fish Commission Wins.

The state fish and game commission
today won out in a decision of Judge
Phelps dissolving the temporary in
junction granted to Wallowa ditch
owners restraining the commission
from removing the screen AT the outlet
of the lake. Tn former commission
granted the ditch owners the right To
screen the outlet to the lake rather
than the various bitches. This pre-
vented fish from migrating in either
direction. The commission recently
planted five million blueback salmon
in the lake and undertook to, remove
the screen to let them get to the ore
an. The Injunction resulted. The
commission took the stand that the
old commission had no authority to
permit the ditch owners to screen
the outlet and Judge Phelps upheld
this contention. The case is consid-
cred an important one. state Warden
Carl u. Shoemaker was here TO-DAY
