Adviees from President LaLonde
Very Favorable
First Well brought in is Small Pro-
ducer. Other wells Are
being Drilled.

The stockholders ofthe Badger
Oil Company in this city, OF
which there are quite number,
are feeling rather jubilant over
kilograms which have been re-
ceived from President LaLonde,
to the effect that the first well
drilled for the Badger company
in the Kentucky fields, is a pro-
ducer, and while the well is a
small one in a proven field. there
is every indication that the pro-
duction will increase.
Other wells are being drilled
for the same company in this
field and the officers have great
prospects of striking something
larger in their operations.
The Badger Oil Company is a
Wisconsin corporation and
practically all of the stockholders
reside in Washburn, Iron River
and Superior. The company is
capitalized for $25, 900 and the
officers are President, j. A. La.
Londe, Secretary Treasurer E,
Schultheis, both residents OF
Washburn.

Cars are Arriving

Since the heavy snow stor IN
of last week q number Of cars
which were stalled in different
sections OF the Bay field county
woods, have been brought into
town, but they did not come in
on their own power, but had 20
be loaded unto sieighs and
hauled into town.
Several attempts were made
to get other cars, but because
of the depth of the snow the at
sempt had to be abandoned.
The snow Is said to be from one
to four feet deep on the Barrons
and it has been impossible for
tea ms to get through.
The Grant car owned by
Harold Hovde was brought into
town the first of the week from
the Barrons as was also car
owned by Hall Of Ashland, and
the Ador Peterson car was also
brought in from the Lenawee
disdrict. the tracks OF the N. P.
being used in this case as a
roadway.
It has been reported that por-
cupines have been raising havoc
with some of the cars left in the
woods, but the cars brought
into town show ne signs of bav-
ing been molested by these
animals.

Lake Shore Lumber Company Planning
Mill Converted Into Box
Factory.

The planning mill formerly
operated by the Lake Shore
Lumber company, but which was
purchased by the Kenfeld-Lam-

verted into box factory and
and the new plant is now oper-
ating steadily, turning out ma.

have been installed in the new
plant and a number of orders
will be turned out at this branch
institution, thus relieving the
great amount of work which has
been placed on their other plant.
The saw mill of the company
will operate in the very near
future and this will give employ
ment to a number of additional
hands. Next season the CON-
pany will also operate a saw mill,

Small Sum Allowed for Current
Expenses Of the City
County and State Tax and Schools Take
up a Large Proportion
of the Lew.

A special meeting of the city
council was held at the Com
mercial Club rooms on Tuesday
evening of this week. the prin-
cipal business before that body
being the making Of the city tax
levy for the ensuing year.
Because of the heavy demands
for state and county taxes and
for the schools little will be left
for current expenses of the city
and the Council the coming year
will have to go unusually light
on expenditures.
The levy as made is as follows:
State tax $4887. 81
County tax SIC. 1921
Co. school tax 5. 5.026 AZ Il, ,193. So
Special charges bog. 8.67
$26, $50 81
City schools $4,000
Int. on bonds and prin. 6,410.0O
Temp. Loans 5000. 90
Library 10000
Current expenses 10.290. 90
Total $89, ,85O.21
The levy is figured out on a
basis of the three and one-half
per cent rate which is the same
as last year. The additional
amount being raised in the city
comes in the county and state
taxes, which are about $4,000
higher than they were a year
ago. and an additional sum for
the public schools.

onthe quality of the bread which
Mr.. Larson is making daily at

from one OF the regular bakings

Markham Drug Company Have
Serious Damage This Morning
Pipes on Upper Floor Of Building Burst
and Water Runs Over
Stock.

Bursted water pipes on the
upper floor of the Rex Hotel
building caused serious damage
to the stock of the Markham
Drug company during last night
and the store this morning looks
as if a serious fire might have
occurred in the building for the
amount of water coming through
the building and into the store
could have hardly been more
serious had a hose been turned
on.
The upper floor of the Rex
Hotel is unoccupied and the
pipes are supposed to have burst
some time during the night and
the water continued to run into
the Markham store until this
morning when the place was
opened for business.
Much of the stock on one side
of the store was damaged as
were also the cases and fixtures
which have been warped and
damaged by the water.
The loss ia q serious one to
Mr.. Markham as much of the
stock damaged was Christmas
goods which it will be impossible
to replace in time for the holiday
trade.

Passenger Service Heavily Cut on
All Lines
Bayfield, and Washblrn to be Isolated
on Sundays Until Shortage
is Relieved.

Washburn, as we'll as all other
places throughout the United
States is beginning to feel the
effect of the fuel shortage. al
though the docks at Washburn
are we'll filled with coal.
The way Washburn is feeling
the fuel shortage is through Che
cancellation of train service on
all lines in the United States,
the Bayfield, division of the
Omaha being effective as we'll as
other lines.
In an announcement given out
by F. ]. Brandt of the Omaha on
Monday of this week the follow
ing will be noted:
Trains 1873. 189. 184 and 188
and all Sunday trains, effective
December 9Th, will be annulled
on the Bayfield, line. Limited
trains IS. Sc, 63 and "a are also
annulled until further notice.
This is a fuel conservation meas
ure, and we expect. as soon as
the fuel situation improves. we
will be able to restore these
trains
This means there will only be
one train leaving daily for the
Twin Cities and Duluth and Chr
cago and only one train arriving
fresn those poi-ss while the Sum
day service, so.far as the WASH
burn-Bayfield line is concerned.
is completely annulled and these
cities will be isolated on Sunday.
This action on the part of the
government was necessary on
account Of the coal strike. With
out conservation there was bound
to be untold suffering and this
was deemed the advisable course
on the part of the government
until the strike could be settled
and coal begins moving again.
