a Change in Ownership


The Times comes to it's readers
| this week under new ownership
a deal having been closed on
Tuesday whereby W. A. Robin
son, manager and editor of the
paper for a number of years,
purchased the entire stock of
the Washburn Printing Co., in
cluding accounts and good will,
and will conduct the paper in
the future.
The new owner has been con-
nected with The Times so long
that he feels a part of the ne ws
paper itself, having been con-
nected with the establishment
for the past twenty years,
starting in as devil when the
paper was owned by j. E. Jones,
formerly of this city, and con-
t;nuing in it's employ to the
present day, having edited and
managed the paper during the
greater part of the time for the
past nine years.
In taking over The Times it
will be our endeavor to improve
it mechanically and editorially
and to make it a better news
paper and one Of the best
weeklieS in the no 'thern part
of the state.
The policy of the paper, so far
as it relates to Washburn and
Bayfield, county, will be to boost
and continually keep boosting
any worthy enterprise which
will assist in the upbuildlng of
the city or the surrounding
community and no honest ex-
preston advocating the better
ment of things generally will be
too visionary for US to publish.
Our old friends, who have
been friends of the paper and its
management for these long
years, will have no reason given
them for changing that friend
ship which we have enjoyed and
we hope through cur policy to
make many new friends.
1t will be our aim to give the
best there is in us toward MAX
ing The Times a better news
paper, and if we do this we have
no doubt about the SUCCESS of
our undertaking.

BOunties for October Amount to
$500 Paid to Trappers
Thirty-One ScalpS Have been Sent to
Office of County Clerk
This Month.

From the amount of money
being paid out at the office of
the County Clerk for bounties
on wolves it would appear that
wolves are plentiful in the coun-
ty this season for up to yester-
|terday totalof $500. 90 had been
paid out by county and state.
This represents 81 wolves which
have either been killed or
trapped.
Many are engaging in the
business of trapping wolves and
other animals and at the present
time more than rs have applied
for trappers licenses in the
county.
With the opening of the small
game season there has also been
an increased demand for hunting
licenses and more than 500 have
been issued. With deer season
nearing the number is expected
to grow rapidly.
Farmers are complaining this
year on account of the law which
gives protection to skunks and
claiming that both are
damaging things around the
farm and many of the farmers
have been killing skunks and
rabbits regardless of the law.
