Won and Lost

Two very fast and interesting
games of basket ball we're play
ed at the Opera House in this
city last Friday evening when
the boys and girls teams of the
Washburn High school met the
opposing teams from the Bay
field High school. Honors for
the evening were divided, the
Bay field girls winning by a
score Of 5 to 4 while the Wash
burn boys won by a score of 19
to Is.
The girls game was close and
interesting with the teams about
evenly matched. The battle
was hard fought during both
halves and credit must he given
to both teams for the manner in
which they played, even though
the Washburn team lost.
The boys game Was fast and
furious but Washburn was de-
termined to win. The Bayfield,
boys put up a good exhibition
of ball and played fast game
from start to finish but they
we're slightly outplayed by the
Washburn team and the locals
won by a score of 19 to 16
Those who witnessed both
contests say they were the best
games played at the Opera
House this season.

Now Running Nights

The saw mill plant of the Ken
tield-LlmOreaux company was
started on the night run on
Tuesday evening of this week
and will likely continue running
night and day throughout the
winter. Bolts are coming in at
a rapid rate at the company
yards in this city, being shipped
from all points along the North
ern Pacific line between here
and Superior. Bolts are also
coming from points on the
South Shore and Omaha lines.
In addition to the cut now be-
ing shipped the company will
also ship a large amount of
material by water the coming
summer and the saw mill will
probably run steadily through.
out the year.

New Switch Board Being
Used by Home Phone
Automatic Service of the
Latest Type Being Used
by Local Company.

On Friday evening of last
week the last phones at the
office of the Bayfield, County
Telephone Company in this city
were cut over to the new auto
matte switch board and all in
struments in the city are now on
the automatic service.
At the invitation of President
Mckinney and Manager Plump
ton the writer was taken through
the exchange yesterday and the
details of the equipment were
explained. The automatic
switch board is a wonder. When
a party calls central there is a
white light flashes on the plug
board and also over the number
which is calling. AS soon as
connection has been made with
the party being called red
light flashes and when the party
answers a master light burns
until the connection is broken
again with the hanging up of
the receiver. This system does
away with central breaking in to
learn if the line is busy.
The ringing is all done auto
matically. In case of a party
line different ringing systems
are used so that only the party
being called gets the ring. On
a party line when the line is busy
it is impossible for central to
ring on that line for an auto
matte device makes ringing i'm
possible.
The new office of the company
is equipped throughout with the
very latest devices for giving
up-to-date service and that peo-
Pile are appreciating their efforts
is demonstrated by the number
of new phones which are being
installed.
The rates Of the company have
been changed so that people on
a four party line receive the 75c
rate while single lines cost at
the rate of $1.00 per month.

Mr.. Uecke to Take Over
Plant About April 1st
Is an Experienced Creamery
Man. To Run Business
on Big Scale.

The plant of the White Rose
Creamery Company in this city
changed hands this week when
Mr.. Uecke, an experienced
creamery man, purchased the
plant and equipment and will
assume charge and start oper-
ations about April 1st.
Mr.. Uecke is now owner of
the Creamery plant at Ashland,
which he has successfully run
during the past few years, and
the announcement that he is to
own and operate the Washburn
institution will be welcome news
to the business men and farmers
of this community.
Mr.. Uecke has had years of
experience in the creamery
business and it is his intention
to run the Washburn institution
so that it will make the most
money for the farmers. The
plant will start in making butter
and ice cream and other dairy
products may also be made.
Automobile trucks will be used
for gathering the cream and the
business will be operated in an
up-to-date way.
During the past two years the
creamery plant has been oper-
ated in this city by Messrs D.
M. Maxcy and C. A. Mckinney
and these two have put their
money and time into the insti-
tuition without profit to them
selves for the purpose of build
ing up the institution for the
benefit of the farmers of this
section. During the time they
operated the plant they paid the
highest market prices for butter
fat and cream, always topping
the Elgin market from one to
three cents. Their work and
time brought the institution UP
to a standard where it's success
is now assured.

House Destroyed by Fire

The new home of William 0.
Gosselin, located on 9Th avenue
west, was almost totally Destroy
ed by fire at an early hour Mon
day morning, together with a
part of the contents.
The fire is supposed to have
been started by a dog which
turned over a lamp which was
burning on the kitchen table,
for the flames spread rapidly.
1t was some time before an
alarm was turned in but the
firemen were prompt in answer
ing and soon arrived on the
scene but the fire had gained
such headway at this time that
to save the building was i'm
possible.
The Gosselin home was erect
ed less than a year ago and was
a very pretty place. At one
time this winter the department
was called out to a small fire in
the house, which did but little
damage. The loss was partially
covered by insurance.

Few Candidates Seek Places
This Spring
Six Aide. men and Six Super
visors to be Elected at
April Election.

Apparently the cold weather
of the past few weeks has not
been a healthy thing for spring
politics and although the annual
spring election is less than four
weeks away, yet the local poll
tical pot has not even started to
simmer, and it is doubtful if it
will ever reach the boiling point.
Besides the Judicial and school
election there is to be elected in
the city this spring six alder
men and six supervisors from
the wards of the city. While it
is expected that a number of
those now holding office will be
candidates for reelection, yet
there will be a number of places
where the present holders will
not seek reelection.
Of course there is plenty of
time yet in which nomination
papers can be filed, but the
election lacks the interest of
former years.
The only interest thus far
taken is in the race between
Judge G.. N. Risjord and
Ray j. Haggerty, for the
office of Judge of the Fifteenth
Judicial Circuit comprising the
counties of Ashland, Bayfield,,
Iron, Price and Taylor counties.
Both candidates are now busy
looking after their political in
terests.
The school election lacks in
terests and it is not likely that
the present incumbents will have
opposition.

Farmers and Business Men
Dine Together
Discussions Prove of a Great
Deal of Interest to Those
in Attendance.

On0 OF the mOSC interesting
meetings ever held by the
farmers and business men of
this city was held at the Masonic
Hall last Saturday afternoon,
when the farmers and business
men attended dinner given by
the Bayfield, County Farmers
Association. The meeting was
a sort of a community meeting
of men representing the farming
country and the business inter-
ests of the city. The dinner was
attended by over one hundred
people.
The dinner was served by Mr..
and Mrs. Oscar L. PlumptOn and
assistants and consisted of a
roast beef and roast pork dinner
which was we'll served and
thoroughly enjoyed by those in
attendance.
Following the dinner c. F.
Bogenrief, president of the Bay
field County Farmers and Fruit
Growers Association gave talk
in which he outlined the work
that had been accomplished by
the Association of which he is
the head and he was followed
by Mayor A. w. Macleod and
d. M. Maxcy who gave interest
ing talks on the need of cooper
alton and the need of enlarging
the association in this city so
that it will be able to handle all
of the produce of the farm and
fruit region, besides dealing in
live stock of all kinds, and also
becomming an association large
enough through which the mer-
chants of the city may buy their
staple stocks co operatively.
The question of marketing
crops so that the farmer would
get the largest returns for his
produce brought out quite a
lively discussion in which far
mers and business men alike
Joined and the good of this dis
cussion will be felt in the city
and country.
Today the farmers and busi-
ness men are closer than they
have been for long time and
the result of this cooperation
has been of mutual benefit to the
farmer and business man alike.
The dinner held on Saturday
had the effect of cementing
this good feeling.
Following the meeting the an
nual meeting of the Stockholders
of the Association at which the
report of Manager George F.
Morgan on the business done
during the year 1016 was read.
This was followed by the election
