7 N T FOR FARMERS
Large Supply to Arrive in this City Fri
day for Distribution.

Notices are being sent out
this week by County Agricul-
tural Agent v. E. Brubaker to
the farmers of the Washburn
district asking them to call Fri
day morning for their 100 pound
allotments Of 7. N. 7. explosive,
which is being sold to the farm.
,ers of Wisconsin at actual cost
by the University Of Wisconsin.
Notices have gone out to more
than 100 farmers, whose appli-
crtions were first received, to be
on hand Friday morning to take
their explosive, and in the event
that the farmers notified do not
put in their appearance the ex-
plosive will 60 to the next on the
list.
This explosive Is costing the
farmer at the rate of SO 90 per
hundred pounds. It has been
demonstrated that it is equal to
dynamite for stump blasting and
because of the low cost at which
it is being sold the farmers are
anxious to get a supply.
More than three hundred ap-
plications have already been re-
ceived by the County Agent and
many of these will have to wait
until spring to receive their
allotment.
This T. N. T. which is now be-
ing distributed was manu-
factured by the government for
war purposes and was only re-
Gently turned over to the uni
versity for demonstration pur-
poses. 1t has been tested out
and should be used in the same
manner as dynamite.

Explosion Causes Fire

The boat house owned by Hans
Ambly and located on the lake
shore was destroyed by FIRE at
an early hour Monday morning.
The fire was caused from an ex
plOsion Of the gasoline tank.
Carl Palm and Bruce Corning
had made ARRANGEMENTS to use
the boat during the day and had
intended leaving early in the
morning for theirij journey. They
were endeavoring to fill the
gasoline tank and were using a
lighted lantern for light, and
this ignited the gasoline.
Both men had to jump into the
lake to- save themselves from
burning and the boat house was
totally destroyed.

State Committee Makes Trip Over
Lake Shore Route
Very Fayorably Impressed with the
Territory Through Which
Road Passes.

In order to gain additional in
formation about the road
traversing the south shore Of
lake Superior in Bayfield, county
the members of the State Legis-
lative committee made the trip
over that road on Saturday Of
last week.
The trip was started from
Ashland Saturday morning sgo-
ing by way of Drummond tc
Iron River and then on to. Port
Wing. A side trip to Orienta
Falls was made and here the
members of the committee
viewed the beautiful falls on
the Iron River where they
watched the trout in their an
tics of trying to leap over the
falls.
AT Pert, Wing a fine dinner
was served to the members Of
the committee and the other
parties making the trip and jn
the afternoon the trip was con-
tinued on to Cornucopia
where luncheon was served and
where the committee had an op-
portunity to view some of the
products grown in the Cornu-
copia region for q fair was In
progress at that place during
the day.
From Coinacopda the Ycoffa-s
mittee continued the trip. over
the road along the lake shore to
Bayfield, and supper was served
at the Bracken hotel.
An endeavor is. being made by
Bayfield, County people to have
this road made q part Of the
Federal and State trunk line
system, claiming that it will be-
come one Of the most important
in the state when it is once
opened up.
There is no finer land in the
state than is to be found in the
northern part Of Bayfield, county
and the scenery along the route
of travel simply is immense.
The State Committee were given
a very favorable impression of
the territory and it is hoped
that when additional mileage is
being added to the State and
federal system that that portion
of the Ba yield county highway
will be included.

Dear Miss Smith:
| thought that you might be
Interested in knowing how I en-.
'jDyed my trip to Milwaukee so
will write and tell you about it.
I was very fortunate and had
a chance to go to Milwaukee
ahead of time. The folks I
stayed with were very nice and
took me to most all the places OF
interest ia Milwaukee. One of
the prettiest places that we went
to was Forest Home. 1t is a
large cemetery but anyone 60
ing there could almost think it
was a park. There are many
pretty flower beds and trees
there.
We also visited Washington
Park, the Public Library and
Museum, the Post Office andrthe
AHA m bra and Majestic th, atres.
One day we went up on top OF
the Wells building. That is al
most the highest building in
Milwaukee.
Miss Alcorn was very good to
me while she was there. Tues
day morning she came up to the
place where l stayed and got
me. She took me up to the
waiting room In IlmDelS Store
where we waited for some other
people. After we had dinner
we went out to the Fair grounds,
That afternoon and Wednesday,
we visited most all of the places
on the Fair Grounds.
The contest was held Wednes,
day morning. l didn't win the
gold medal although I tried to-
l got 95 in Spelling and 64 in
Arithmetic, The speed took me

would be interested in so l viii

Noticesof Hearing.
In the matter Of the investigation
on motion of the Commission of the
toll rates of the Wisconsin Telephone
Company. U-l6s2. m~
Whereas, On or about January 90,
1919, the Wisconsin Telephone COM
pany fled with the Commission its
application for an order approving a
schedule of toll rates annexed to said
application, and stating that the ap-
plicant's properties were being
operated under the orders and con-
troll of the Postmaster General, pur-
suant to resolution of Congress
adopted July l6, 1918, and the pro-
clamation of the President of the
United States issued in pursuance of
authority granted to him by such
resolution; that after hearing the ap-
plicant the Commission issued its de-
cision refusing to approve such toll
rates; that said Wisconsin, Telephone
Company, by order of the Postmaster
General, published said schedule OF
toll rates and put the same into effect
on January 81, 1919, and, since said
date, has charged and collected tolls
in accordance with such schedule.
and said rates, under the decision OF
the Supreme Court of Wisconsin, have
been held to be the lawful rates dur
ing the period of the control by the
Federal Government of the appii-
cant's business; that by subsequent
act of Congress the Federal Govern
ment has n5y relinquished control oi
the applicants lines and business and
has provided that existing rates shall
continue in effect until changed by
action of State authorities; and thai

Decrease.

The school census for Bayfield,

80 while that of the city of
