Courting death, an unknown
man deliberately walked into the
Duluth South Shore passenger
train yesterday morning about
mile west of the Marengo
water tank, and was thrown for
some distance to the side of the
track. When the engineer
sighted the stranger on the
tracks ahead he signalled to him
to get off, and expecting him to
do so made no effort to stop the
train. The only effect the train
whistle had on the unknown
man was to impel him to throw
the double bladed ak he carried
to one side, but be contin ued in
his walk to sudden death. When
picked up by the train crew he
was dead, being killed ms family.
His leg had been amputated and
other parts of his body were
badly crushed.
Coroner Sollie of Ashland was
notified of the accident by the
section crew that had been
working in that vicinity, and the
dead man was taken here pend.
ing the location of relatives, if
that is possible. There was alb
solulely nothing on his person
which would serve to identify
him.
He was tall man, and wore a
mackinaw and rubbers.
1t is believed the man was
demented.
The remains Of the unknown
man are being held at the Sollie
Morgue in the hopes Of Identify
| ing him.-Ashland Press.

Gardening at Home

One Of the great movements
now going over the country is
the garden movement. The
relation Of good gardening at
home to better living has been
dem onstrated in a number of
cwhi mites.
% burn, with her good soil
al innate, adapted to the
raising of vegetables, flowers
and small fruits, should take up
this work and continue it year
after year until permanent gar
dening conditions have been es-
tablished.
At the general meeting Thurs
day evening, the gardening
proposition will be discussed by
Professor A. T. Conrad Of Su-
perior. Professor Conrad has
had several years. experience in
gardening. He will show slides
showing the juvenile gardeners
at work, and will also present a
complete plan for the forming of
a Home Garden Association in
Washburn.
Mr.. Conrad is anxious, while
he is here, to have as many per-
sonal interviews as possible, not
only upon Gardening but also
Bird-House Building. He will
bring with him some rd-houses
| in which bird families have been
reared. Please remember to
see Mr.. Conrad personally about
both of these subjects. If
necessary, Mr.. Conrad will re-
main over a half day in order to
carry the initial step in his work
to completion.
On the same program with
Mr.. Conrad will be Mr.. Paul
Mueller, Landscape Architect,
Minneapolis. Mr.. Mueller's
topic, Landscape Gardening"
is closely allied to the subject
which Mr.. Conrad will present.
Mr.. Mueller hopes to present a
general scheme of Identification
showing both the artistic and
commercial value of a more
beautiful Washburn. The
theatre should be filled to the
doors for this meeting. Supt.
Hyper who will preside, is
thoroughly interested in this
community movement, and will
no doubt contribute to the pro-
gram.

All Together

"Sit together, listen together,
sing together. and you'll work
together. You'll be better neigh
bors. You'll learn that you have
a common interest in making
your town or city the very best
possible place in which to live.
and that making the towns
business your business is pretty
profitable business all the way
around"
Thus did a shrewd Wisconsin
business man sum up the
psychology c15 the Community
Institute, which, has come to be
such a popular feature of civic
life throughout the state, and
the reason why it's lasting in
fluence is seen in practical i'm
provements for the common
good and in public spirit which
results in one improvementlead-
ing to another, an endless chain
of benefit developing itself from
one original link. For the aim
of the we'll conducted Community
Institute is to make every man,
woman and child in the COM
mtnity realize that it is a con-
ference of the stockholders in
the community assembled for
the purpose of administering
the eommunity's affairs so that
the best interest of the stock
holders will be served.

Municipal Coal Pile for Ashland

Ashland's municipal coal pile
will soon be a reality, carload
of soft coal having been ordered
from the mines, and is expected
to arrive here within the week,
in nformatiOn from the mayors
Office indicated this morning
The city officials are determined
to alleviate the local situation in
part at least, following their in
vestigation and finding that the
consumers are being discrimi-
mated against. The first carload
of coal without delays in ship
ment or some mishap, should
arrive at A shland in a few days.
Other cars VIII follow in order
for a certain period.
One load of coal will be sold to
each party making application
as long as the supply lasts.
The price per ton will be S7.15.
The course adopted by ihe
city council is similar to that in
vogue in some of the larger
cities of the country where the
price Of coal has been raised too
high in the opinion of the
authorities Ashland Press.

Derailment of Car Cause
of Accident
Others Riding on the Car at
Time Escape Injury
by Jumping.

William Nelson of New Rich
mond, Wis, was killed outright
and Jack Boyle of Queen City,
Wis.,, and Harold Isaacson of
Illinois, were injured in an ac-
cident which occurred at the
plant of the DUPONT company at
Barksdale on Tuesday morning
at $40 o'clock.
The accident occurred on the
narrow gauge railway owned by
the company. The gasoline en-
gine was pushing a car upon
which five or six persons were
riding. AS the car was crossing
a switch there was derailment
and the car was dumped over,
falling upon the three men. The
others escaped by jumping.
Nelson had one leg cut COM
pletely off and his head was bad
ly crushed, death resulting al
most instantly. Jack Boyle suf-
fered a compound fracture of
the leg while Isaacson had his
back sprained and he was other
wise bruised.
The injured men were taken
to the hospital at Ashland on
the hospital car owned by the
company where it is said their
recovery is expected.
Fhe Dupont company take
precautions in their various de-
partments to avoid accidents of
all kinds and with the number
of men employed there has been
very few. 1t is not likely that a
like accident will ever occur
again at the plant.

Basket Ball

If the past month is any in
dicator of the coming few
months, interest in basket ball
ought to be exceedingly high in
Washburn. The crowds which
turned out to the last few high
school games tend to show a
record breaker on Friday night
when two big games will be
staged. The high school team
will take on the big boys from
Northland College, and claim
they will come out on the win
ming end. They have been re-
ceiving the short end of the
luck in the past few games, as
no game has yet been played
with the high school lineup in
complete playing force. In each
game illness has set them at a
disadvantage, but in spite of
this the team has so far put up
one of the gamest sort of fight
ever witnessed. Once the hoodoo
has been overcome, with the
same fighting spirit the boys
ought to pile up a string OF
victories. Alf Anderson's knee
which was injured in the foot
ball game with Northland Col
lege last fall is again in shape,
and he will no doubt show the
college boys that such is the
case.
The Haskell Club team will
play the City Team in a pre-
limiminary which will begin at
Is o'clock. The City Team will
be sure to find stiff opposition
from the former and it would
not surprise many if the Haskell
boys should come out the
victors.
A dance after the game will
conclude the evenings entertain
ment. Good music will be fur
nished by those in charge.

CLUB ELECTS
new OFFICERS
Annual Meeting Held Last
Friday Night
HI. H. Peavey Heads the Or
ganization For The
Coming Year.

The annual meeting of the
Washburn Commercial Club was
held at the Club rooms on Fri
day evening Of last week and it
was one of the biggest sessions
the club has held in some time.
The principal business taken
up during the evening was the
election of officers for the en-
suing year. The following were
elected:
President H. H. Peavey
Vice-President F. w. Downs
Secretary Ed. M. Heermans
Treasurer D. M. Maxcy.
The board of Directors will be
composed of eight members this
year instead Of four, the officers
elected to name the other four
members of the board and those
nominations will be placed be-
fore the club at the regular
meeting to be held on Friday
evening of this week.
There was fine interest
manifest in the work which the
club has before it during the
coming year and every member
will put his shoulder to the
wheel to work for a bigger and
better city.
Mr.. Heermans, the newly
elected secretary, comes from
Minneapolis, and will devote his
entire time to the work of the
club. He is an experienced
man in this line of work.
Secretary Amos M. Hanson
presented Ed. M. Heermans,
the new secretary, who after
the introduction made a short
talk to the club, outlining in a
general way his views and plans
for the year. Mr.. Heermans
prefaced his remarks by stating
that he was not an orator, but
that he had known commercial
secretaries who could paint the
sky in oratorical effects, but who
often failed to get back from
their fights to do real work. He
said he was here for real serious
work, in which the entire COM
munity was deeply interested
and that each member of the
club and each good citizen
would be called upon to cooper
ate.
81 would be unfair to myself
if did not say that l have been
deeply impressed with the good
turnout, enthusiasm and splen-
did appearance of this fine body
of men assembled here tonight"
said Secretary Heermans. Il am
not given to fattery, but want
to say that nature has richly en-
dowed Washburn as a promising
little city, and before us lies the
work of developing the endow-
ments of nature to secure mater
ial results.
The new secretary impressed
upon the club the fact that COM
mercial club work was objective
ly a selfish work and should be
so considered. That is a collective
organization whose object is to
benefit the city generally, and
in the end each individual
specifically. "The sooner we
come to regard this work as
primarily selfish, and not
charitable or philanthropic, the
sooner we will attain the desired
results" he stated.
Agricultural development is
of primary Importance" said
Mr.. Heermans. mo town or
city, large or small. rises much
above the fountain-head of it's
agricultural development. Di-
versified industries, civic i'm
provements and above all a
unity of home interests. "All for
