High Wages Do Not Prove
Tempting to Men.
Crews are Hard to Keep and
There is Difficulty in
Finding Men.

The labor conditions in the
woods of northern Wisconsin are
said to be giving lumber COM
panies more trouble this winter
than they have for some years
and lumberman are having great
trouble in maintaining crews at
their camps.
Wages are the highest they
have been for years and con-
ditions in the camps were never
better but this does not seem to
tempt the men who fight shy of
the jobs.
Nearly every camp operating
in northern Wisconsin, and the
same is also true throughout the
northwest, is short of men and
the offers of high wages do not
prove tempting.
The shortage of men is inter-
ferring somewhat with the cut
but with cold weather for some
little time yet the loggers will
be able to catch up.

Omaha Company to Start
Improvements in Spring
Uncertain Yet as to Just
What Improvements
Will Include.

With the coming of spring
work will be started by the
Omaha railway company either
rebuilding their present depot
or building a new passenger
depot and remodeling the pres
ent structure for freight shed.
For some time the Commercial
Club of this city has had this
matter up with the railway COM
pany and promises of the re-
modelling of the depot have been
made but there has also been
talk that a new structure may
be erected. This question seems
to be still undecided in the
minds of the railway officials
but some definite action will
probably be taken in the very
near future.
A survey Of the grounds and
tracks around the present
structure have been made and a
drawing of the proposed changes
have been made. At any rate
the Omaha company will do
something in the way of i'm
provement in the spring.

Honors Divided in Basket
Ball Last Saturday
Phillips Girls Win and Iron
wood Boys Lose. Fast
and Exciting Games.

Two very close and exciting
games of basket ball were play
ed at the Opera House in this
city last Saturday evening when
the Girls team fromPhillips and
the boys team from Ironwood
contested against the local high
school teams and honors for the
evening were divided, the visit
ing girls winning and the local
boys winning.
Although playing against a
much faster and more expert
enced bunch the girls team put
up fine contest but the score
against them was decisive,
standing 16 to 2 at the close of
the game. Phillips was repre-
sentented by a post graduate
team who have been playing to-
gether during the past two or
three years and their plays
would indicate it for they were
carried out with precision. The
Washburn girls played hard and
furious and kept their opponents
guessing at times, but never was
there danger of the outcome and
Phillips experience in throwing
baskets counted we'll in making
up the score.
The boys game was a contest
from start to finish and at the
end of the first half stood ten to
ten. The Washburn boys were
much more speedy and their
team work was better than the
visitors. 1t was a hard mill and
the visitors began to show signs 4
of weakness at the beginning of
the second half.
Washburn added six points to
their score during the End half
while Ironwood managed to land
one lone basket and the game
ended with the score of 16 to IL.
A large number of fans wit
messed the game and rooted
heartily for their team.

The Sheep Question
Editor Times,

Editor Times,
Washburn, Wis.
Will you permit me to reply
to Mr.. Fraser's article of last
weeks issue, in regard to the
sheep plan.
With wool and mutton at
present prices sheep are giving
the old d TRY cow the chase OF
her life. When it comes 10
profits they have her beat a
mile. When we compare the
labor of caring for the sheep
against the caring for the COW.
In the fall of 1915 I bought
thirteen head of sheep at SIS. 90
per head. In May 1916 sold
wool to the amount of $31.70 and
in the fall of 1916 [ sold mutton
to the amount of $66.5O and
still had thirteen head of sheep
left and they were worth at
least 50 per head more than
they. were in 1915,
I certainly think that any
move that will help bring more
sheep here is move in the right
direction. The sheep not only
pay their way well but they also
work for US by killing out small
brush.
In regard to fences it is
necessary to have good fence
both to control the sheep and
to protect them from dogs but
1 will say that at the present
time we can get light weight
woven wire fence AZ inches high
at little less than 25c per rod.
The price of the wool and NUT
ton is high and is sure to stay
high for a number of years as
babies are sure to be born
naked and hungry.
Yours respectfully,
G. F. Bogenrief.
