Three Concerns Make it 100 per
cent on Bond Sale
Every Man in Employ of Factory Mill
and Coal Dock Subscribe
for Bonds.

Washburn has three institutions
whose employees are determined
that the United States shall win
this war if their purchases OF
Liberty Bonds will have anything
to do with it. These concerns are
the plant of the Kenfield-Lam-
oreaux company, the Sprague
Lumber Co. and the North
western Fuel company where
every man has subscribed to the
Third Liberty Loan.
The drive at the Box factory
was made on Monday morning
as the whistles and bells were
announcing the starting of the
drive. The men were assembled
where they listened to a short
but inspiring Liberty Loan ad
dress made by Municipal Judge
George A. Calder and within
fifteen minutes after the address
was finished every man on the
payroll at the factory has sub
scribed his name indicating that
he was going to purchase a Lib
erty Bond. There were seventy
two men at work at the plant
and there were seventy-two
cards returned from this insti-
tuition.
The drive at the docks of the.
Northwestern Fuel company was
made by Superintendent John
Gibson with the assistance of
FIR. Carron and Attorney Morris.
This company also went over the
top with a 100per cent subscrip-
tion.
The drive at the Sprague mill
was made by M. H. Sprague and
r. Loranger.
The men and boys at these
three institutions are to be con-
graduated upon their patriotic
stand. They have given gener-
ously to the Red Cross, the war
savings, the Y. M. G. A. fund
and other patriotic drives and
now they come foreward with
their support Of their govern
ment.
Here are three cheers for the
men of these three plants.

Exceeds Quote of $SO,5OO in Thr &c
Day Drive and Totals are Piling Up
Bayfield, County Will Also Exceed Quote.
MANY Districts Having Already Reached
Their Allotted Amounts.

The city Of Washburn has
won her service flag in the Lib
erty Loan Drive and Bayfield,
County has demonstrated to her
boys at the front that we are
standing behind them in this
war and are willing to back them
to the end that they may bring
victory to the arms of the United
States and make the world safe
for democracy.
In a three day drive the city
of Washburn went over the top
in glowing fashion last evening
and amounts will continue to
come in without solicitation dur
ing the remainder of the cam
paign.
The different wards of the city
were we'll organized for the
drive. Two captains and six
workers were appointed in every
ward and in addition to this the
women workers did fine work
which helped to swell the total.
Practically all of the SUBJ
scriptions were in small amounts
indicating that the majority of
the people of this community
stand right on the war question
and are anxious to do all they
can to-help the government win.
1t was a great drive with
everyone anxious to help. The
start of the drive was heralded
throughout the city by the
sounding of whistles, bells, etc.
For three days the drive has
been on.
On Monday evening a total OF
over $4,000 had been subscribed
without counting any. OF the
totals from the dynamite plant.
On Tuesdayevening 1000 was
reported and yesterday afternoon
the quote was hit and there was
glorious hurrahing among the
workers. During the afternoon
big amounts continued to come
in and at four o'clock yesterday
over 100000 had been SUBJ
scribed.
100000 was reported from the
plant of the DUPONT company as
subscriptions from the employees
of this company.
The matter of soliciting bond
subscriptions in the Third loan
was an easy matter. People
have come to look upon the
bonds as a great means of saw
ing as we'll as a way Of helping
their government and very few
refused to subscribe for the
bonds.
Some of the solicitors did not
even know what the blue cards
were for, not having had an op-
portunity to use them. The drive
was a success from start to finish.
1t has demonstrated that Wash
burn and Bayfield, county people
are right and loyal. We are
proud of the showing which has
been made. We are proud of
the Bayfield, county people. We
are proud of the boys who have
gone out from the county to
make the world safe for de-
mocracy.

New Council Organized at Tuesday
Night Meeting
AppOintive Officers are Selected for the
Ensuing Year With Few
Changes


| Council with Mayor George F.
! Morgan in the chair and the new
alderman elect in their seats
was held at the Commercial Club
rooms on Tuesday evening, much
business being transacted at the
meeting. :
Numerous city officers were
selected for the ensuing year,
among them being l.. N. Clau-
sen for City Clerk, Olof M. Olson
for Fire Chief, Joseph Arseneau
for Street Commissioner, Albert
Westin for Sexton and DR.. P. G.
Frey for City Physician.
Mayor Morgan stated that he
wanted to retain the present po-
lice officers, Boyd Cameron as
Chief and Ole Flonnes as Patrol
man and asked that the power
of discharging them when they
did not perform their duties sat-
isfactorily be left with him,
which was agreeable to the
council.
Alderman Sheridan, who was
elected Assessor, stated to the
council that he had not qualified
for the office because of the low
salary paid the assessor. The
council thought sbe salary too
low and raised it to $4O0 per
annum. When the council sought
to appoint Mr.. Sheridan to the
place Mayor Morgan informed
them that this could not be done
until Mr.. Sheridan had resigned
his place as alderman.
Since the Tuesday meeting
Mr.. Sheridan has resigned his
position as alderman and will
likely be a candidate for the
office of assessor at the next
meeting of the council.
Mayor Morgan made the fol-
lowing appointments: Library
Board Mrs. A. w. Macleod and
w. w. Wilmer. School Board
F. T. Beers, 1st ward; D. M.
Maxcy, at large, A. P. Fraser,
4th ward.
The resolution providing for
the employment of visiting
nurse for the city of Washburn
which was up for final passage,
was laid over until the next
meeting by the council. Mrs.
E. C. Alvord and Mrs. P. T..
Trowbridge, representing the
Woman's Council, appeared be-
fore the council in behalf of the
resolution. Many of the cities
throughout the country are now
employing visiting nurses and
and find that the proposition
pays big dividends in the health
of the community and many are
in hopes that the council will act
favorably on the proposition at
the May meeting.
The ordnance requiring stores,
etc., to equip their stores with
sanitary toilets and wash rooms
was also laid over until the next
meeting Of the council.
An ordnance was passed
changing the sewer map of the
city to conform to the plan made
by City Engineer Reichardt.
The ordnance to establish curb
grades in certain sections Of the
city was laid over. Some of the
west end aldermen opposed this
because it did not cover all Sec
tions of the city.
Mayor Morgan appointed Har-
ry Reisler, Alex Gackowski and
is. E. Swanson as the Finance
Committee.
