Fine Water But No Oil

Well Driller Walter Gustafson

latest success at. well drilling.
Walter is not afraid to tackle
nything mot even the Huns for

comes to wells--why they are
simply ''pie" for Walter.
Tim Burke. who lives on the
Washington avenue road wanted
a we'll and wanted one badly.
On four former occasions he en-
gagged well drillers for work on
his place but each attempt failed
aud he still was without water.

taking contracts for well drill.

nue. road Burke engaged him to
put in we'll for him, thinking
of course that it would be an
other futile attempt, but Gus
|tafson thought differently and
last week started upon his con-
tract.
Of course Gustafson struck
hard drilling, encountering
boulder after boulder and on
one occasion he had to take out
all the pipes and clean the we'll.
But Walter stayed on the job
and Tim Burke is more than
pleased that be did for on Mon
day morning they struck water
and the we'll was finished Mon
day afternoon with SO feet of
water at the 251 foot level,

This showing on the Burke

Sheriff Long to Be Cheated in Land
ing Prisoner
State Of Louisiana Gives Hughes Sen
tence of 10 to IA Years
for Burglary.

After concluding a successful
man hunt in which he was sue
cessful in locating his prisoner
Sheriff James Long is going te
be cheated out of the satisfaction
of seeing his man brought tC
trial for attempted murder in
Bayfield, county, but he will have
the satisfaction of knowing that
his man will be where he will
not do further harm for a period
| Of at least ten years.
The prisoner in question is
George Hughes, alias Pete Hollis
wanted in Bayfield, for attempt
ed murder on two different oc-
casions.
The first shooting in which
Hughes was mixed up occurred
at the half way house in the
town of Iron River when he shot
John Nelson of Wills. Nelson,
who is a man seventy years of
age, was shot through the arm.
Hughes was apprehended for
this offense and was lodged in
the county Jail to await trial but
was finally released on bonds,
Charles Koester going his bonds.
The next shooting in which
Hughes was implicated was at
Eau Claire lakes when he shot
the man who went his bonds,
Chrrles Koester.
After the last shooting Hughes
left for parts unknown and
Sheriff James Long began his
hunt for the man. After six
Emonths or more he finally lo-.
Gated him in Louisiana where he
had been arrested for burglary.
Sheriff Long and District At
torney Morris got out extradition
papers in order to have the man
brought back to Bayfield, county
to stand trial and when they
thought everything had been
completed for the return of the
man they were finally notified
that Hughes, alias Hollis, has
been tried in Louisiana and had
been convicted and sentenced to
from ten to fourteen years in the
penitentiary at Baton Rouge.
So Sheriff Long, while having
the satisfaction of locating his
prisoner, will have to wait until
Hughes completes his term in
Louisiana before he can have
him brought back for trial in
Bayfield, county.

Letter from LeaQues

Washington, D. c.
Having been a soldier frcm the
great state of Wisconsin, resident
of Washburn and Bayfield, county.
am taking the liberty to address my
friends there and ID your state
l have taken considerable, notice
of the great work my state is doing
for the honor and benefit Of itsre-
turned heroes. Words fail to ex-
press the pleasure it has given me
when pick up paper here in our
National Capital and read what is
being done out there, it gives me a
feeling of JOY and love for my old
home.
1t has been an honor for me to
be present in the House of Repre-
sentatives while Congress was in
session, and to hear the debates on
the high cost of living and the pleas
made in behalf of our returned
heroes.
We, the people, in order to es-
tablish and ordain principle by
whichwe may be guided in the
future, that this great ship of state
may not be dashed on some rock
bound coast in foreign land. We
have deemed it privilege to well
come home, our boys, who entered
this great war. We should and will
show our appreciation of the patriot
ism of American manhood in winning
the war. SO that liberty might not
perish from the earth.
The soldiers ofsh wars must unite,
establish tranquility and promote the
general welfare of the country. II
you fail at this particular time, all
may be lost.
| The labor situation has become a
serious one, but we must still be
loyal to our government and fair and
just to our families. The high cost
of living. has brought to this great
nation of ours a crisis, that never be.
fore has been known in our great
history 1t has brought national
and social unrest amongst capital and
labor.
The hardest blow of the war fell
upon mothers of our country. The
inspiration granted to American SOL
diers, which resulted in a glorious
victory for our nation, came from
mothers. With the high cost oi
living it has brought to bear great
er burden upon their shoulders. Sc
lit is time Congress heeds the cries OF
the poor mothers everywhere.
| Are we to let social unrest turn ia
the killing of innocent women and
children Are we to see this great
land of the free set up of Bolsheviki
regime, like that of Russia! 1t will
come IL our good Congress does mol

Senator Wilkinson Gives Version
on Highway Committee Trip
Says it Was Not the Intention to Slight
Any Section Of Bayfield,
County.

In relation to the stories pub
lished and otherwise circulated
in relation to'the recent trip OF
the State Highway Committee
through Northern Bayfield, coun.
ty in which some of the towns
and cities in the county felt that
they were slighted in not being
asked to accompany the COM
mittee on the trip or to take
any part in the efforts being
made to have additional mileage
in Bayfield, county added to the
Federal Trunk Line system Sem
ator A. III. Wilkinson Of Bayfield,,
who has been the leading figure
in the efforts to induce the High
way Committee to give Bayfield,
county additional mileage, has
addressed a letter to the MEM
bers of the County Board, which
being Of a public nature. we
publish the same herewith:
Oct. 14th, 1919.
To the Members of the Bayfield,
County Board,
Gentlemen:
AS numerous stories are being
circulated throughout the coun-
ty concerning the applications
made by Bayfield, County for adj
ditional mileage on the State
Trunk Highway system and the
proceeding following the apph
cation, ! beg leave to subnait 10
you a statement of my activities
in the matter.
Knowing that every county in
the state was eiamoring for adj
ditional road mileage and be-
lieving that / could be of some
service to the county at this time
and before any hearings were
held, / met with the county high
way committee and Mr.. O. M.
Axness, county chairman at
Washburn where the whole SUBJ
ject was gone over very care
fully. 1t was unanimously
agreed that we should attempt
at least to have the county road
running from Port Wing to Bay
field adopted as part Of the
state system with a connection
from Port Wing to some other
trunk line wherever the state
committee thought best. ]
agreed to go to Superior to at
tend the Douglas county hearing
which did and succeeded in
arousing some interest in the
project from that point. The
following afternoon a general
hearing was held at the court
house in Washburn which you
are no doubt familiar with.
AS sufficient time had not been
allowed in their schedule for an
examination of the proposed
route and believing this abso-
lutely necessary if we We're to
succeed, / repeatedly urged the
committee 70 return for an in.
spection trip to Bayfield, county.

subject asked the chairman Of

Petition Being Circulated Among
Board Members
Decision Must Reach Secretary Of
State by Next Monday
Night

lu0 Qu0SLlOn OIL Wl0tH0r OF
not Bayfield, county will issue
county bonds with which to pro.
vide funds for the Soldier Bonus
recently voted by the people oil
the state is to be determined by
County Board mem bers this
week.
The law provides that she
counties Of the state can either
bond or raise the money by levy
in one year, but the opinion was
general throughout the state
that this decision could be made
at .he annual meeting of the
County Board to be held in
November.
Advices however were re-
ceived by County Clerk Nels M.
Oscar on Wednesday stating
that this decision must be made
before Monday, October Goth,
and that if so decided the Coun.
ty Board must provide for the
bonding of the county at the
annual meeting to be held in
Novem ber.
The time for making the de.
|cision and the time required by
law for calling a special meeting
lof the. Board made it impossible
to call a special meeting of the
Board before the Goth and Coun-
| ty Clerk Oscar Immediately got
lin touch with state authorities
and wasssgraated the right to
canvass the mem bers of the
Board by petition and this is
being done by Mr.. Oscar this
week.
Many of the mem bers ofthe
Board with whom we have come
in contact feel that to place the
entire amount on the tax roll in
one year would make taxes so
high as to become burdensome
and for this reason the bonding
proposition is favored.
Should a majority of the Board
members petition for bonding
the state authorities will be
notified and then the County
Board can provide for the bond
issue at the annual meeting in
Novem ber. So

twenty years before Washburn

cesses and stored for future use.
Especially when canning is not
feasible, or cans and Jars are not

means of saving large quantities of
