Soon after taking up his work
in Washburn for the CONNER
cial Club, Ed. M. Heermans, the
executive secretary, conceived
the idea of a series Of regular
weekly open air band concerts
| in the business district and this
week the Music committee of
| the club set the plans in motion.
1t is now definitely settled
that the concerts will be held,
beginning with May and con-
tinuing until fall.
The Music committee is COM
posed of Jacob Segal, chairman,
Walter Milberg, George Fox. R.
A. Herring, Louis Wardner, Amos
Hansen, ]. S. Fletcher, John
Joanis and the secretary.
1t was decided to start the
fund necessary to finance the
band by holding a grand Easter
ball on Monday night April 9 at
the opera house. This affair is
to be an imposing one and the
signal for the opening of the
postlenten social season in
Washburn. There will be fine
music and everything arranged
in good time to make it an event
par excellent.
A budget was made up for the
financing Of the band which
calls for the sum of $500, before
the concerts can begin. An en-
tertainment at the Temple is
also to be given at an early date
and then subscriptions will be
taken to raise the remainder of
the IIlOIley.
Secretary Heermans had this
to say of the summer concerts:
This series Of concerts will
be a good investment for every
body as we'll as delightful to the
whole populace. The concerts
will be held at stated periods at
regular places each time, alter
mating up and downtown. The
concerts will be an advertise
ment, will draw large crowds
from the outside and make for
better business for everybody.
The only way to insure success
was to provide the fund in adj
vance and not a concert will be
given until the full amount is in
the hands of the committees
treasurer. The committee will
manage the concerts and do it
along business lines"

get scru bling brush. The
little child was sleeping in an
other room and when the mother

and came running out through
the door, falling into the pan OF
water backwards. The steam
penetrated the wollen clothing

When we made ment on las t Fri
day OF the dinner at the Hotel Brac-

occasion was one of such moment as
has been since reported to US. The
dinner was given to the old soldiers

completely destroyed the office,
packing house and warehouse of the
BOutin fish Company. located at
the foot of First street near thu
Bayfield, Light Power & Water
Plant. The fire was discovered
shortly after three o'clock.
Considerable difficulty was ex-
perienced by the department in get
ting water on the flames despite
the fact that the response to the
alarm was remarkably prompt for
such an early hour. The delay was
caused because of frozen bydrant
necessitating the attaching of line
OF hose on the hydrant at the Bias
sett Livery corner. and over a thou
sand feet of hose was run out from
this hydrant. A few minutes later
another line was attached at the
power plant. Then followed about
two hours of work for department
Members in the effort to keep the
flames from spreading to the com
pary's boats ying fast in the ice
near the dock, aud from creeping
back to the large ice house filled
with thousands of tons Of ice.
Prompt work on the part of volun.
teers was responsible for saving a
quantity of nets on the dock, and
two gasoline boats lying near the
warehouse, which were pushed out
some distance on the ice out Of
reach of the flames.
w tn the exception of a small
part of the northwes corner of the
warehouse, all the buildings on the
dock were completely burned down.
The fact that the fire had such big
start when discovered is attributed
to the FIRE proof roofing with which
the various buildings were covered,
and it is believed that the interior
of the building were completely
Quilted before the flames broke
through the walls and roofs.

town of Bayview resident, was in

supplying him with lake gravel

Mary PickfOrd at Palace Tonight.

In her new play, "Less Than the
Dust" Mary Pickford has the role of
a little castaway of English birth
who has been reared among natives
of the lowest caste of India, her faith
er having become social derelist and
having no mother, she is given over
to a native sword maker and here she
grows up and becomes one Of the peo-
pie. The scenes are all laid in India
and England and are remarkably
faithful pictures Of both lands in
scenic sets of great beauty and Won
drous effort. The East Indian envi-
ronment is especially interesting and
picturesque in that the splendid di-
rection has brought to the screen
an unmistakable atmosphere and un-
of the lives and customs
of the British officers and the lower
caste. It will be seen at the Palace
Theatre tonight.
One of the scenes shows a street
in an Indian city with its shops and
bazaars and all of the color and ever
changing views of an Eastern thor
oughfare. Another shows the British
garrison and still another the great
stone temple and the pool of the sa-
cred waters.
The story is full of dramatic force
and Mary Pickford's part is blend
ing of the delightful comedy, winsom-
ness and innocence that gave her por-
trayals of the part such an appealing
girlish charm.

this virgin soil which now has the

ment or for profitable farming of
any section in the Valley.
This land has always been known
as the best in the Valley, but because
of the lack of water facilities these
lands have been held back, but now
they have been provided with the best
water system and farmers, knowing
that the soil is of the very best, are
rapidly taking up these lands.
At present low prices and the pres
ent easy terms these farms will not
last long and anyone who is think
ing Of buying farm should look into
this property.
The new Calipatria railroad is go
ing to make these farms very valu-
able and it is going to make of Cali
patria the greatest farming commu
nifty in the Valley. Get in now while
you can take advantage of the easy
terms on which these farms are be-
ing sold. Call upon Mr.. H. H. Clark
at Calipatria, who is the agent for
these land lands, and let him show
you what is being accomplished here
today.-Ad.
