Board Left City This Morning to
Complete Tour Of Highways
Expect to be Away Two Days to 60
Over Perplexing Problems
in Road Building,

The County Board of Bayfield,
county met in this city again
this morning to complete their
tour of the county and state sys-
TEN of highways. They left the
city over the Cornucopia route,
going by way of Port Wing.
The Board met on the 9Th to
make their tour of the county
system and made the north end
trip but upon their return to this
city at the end of the first day
encountered such heavy storms
that the trip had to be aban-
doned at this city and an ad-
joarnment was taken until this
morning to complete the in
spection.
The route as planned for the
coming two DAYS is to traverse
the roads in the section from
this city to Port Wing, thence to
Iron River and west to the
Douglas county line, returning
to Ashland at the end of the first
day, returning over route /
which runs through Iron River
and Barksdaie.
On the second day the Board
will leave. Ashland for the south
end of bayfield, county, going as
far south as the SAWYER county
line, visiting all roads in that
section and returning to Wash
burn on the evening of the sec
on day. Should time permit a
meeting Of the boys will likely
be held at the second day but
this will probably be decided
upon as the Board travels over
the system.
This trip over the county sys-
tenn is proving of a great deal
of value to the membersfor they
are gaining first hand informa-
tion as to conditions of roads in
the different parts of the county.
The policy Of the Board seems
to be the Improvement of the
present roads and making as few
changes as possible until the
present roads are in good con-
dition.

0. G. Roehling of Chicago Purchases
Home Telephone
Sale was Made by Receiver Cate of
Ashland. Other Plants
Included in Deal.
Number 9

The plant of the Bayfield,
County Telephone company in
this city patsed from the hands
Of the old company on Tuesday
afternoon of this week to 0. G.
Roehling and associates for the
sum of $2500, the sale having
been made by Receiver Cate of
Ashland who had charge of the
affairs of the old company for
several months.
The plant of the Ashland
Home Telephone company also
went to the same parties as did
the plant at Mellen and the toll
lines of the three companies.
1t is said that these three
plants will be merged with the
Independent Telephone plant at
Phillips and will be operated by
the same officers.
For some time the plant Of the
Bayfield, County Telephone COM
pany in this city has been in
financial difficulties which re-
suited in its sale by Receivers.
When asked if the plant would
be dismantled the new pur-
chasers gave out the statement
that it would not, but did not
state what disposition would be
made of it othee than it would
continue to be operated.
At one time the Bay field Coun-
ty Telephone company had a
large number of subscribers and
within the past three years a
new telephone central exchange
was installed but the lines Of the
company were allowed to run
down and the business was given
but little attention. The Ash
land and Mellen and Phillips eX-
changes are live exchanges with
a large amount of business.

Washburn Socialist Indicted by the
US. Grand Jury
Accused Of Interfering with the Sale of
Liberty Bonds and Other
Activities.


Erick Peterson of this city,
a peddler, has been arrested by
United States Marshall Pugh for
violation Of the espionage act in
obstructing the sale of Liberty
Bonds. Peterson was recently
indicted by the United States
Grand Jury in session at Superior
and upon his arrest was taken
to the Ashland county Jail but
later secured his release by put
ting up bonds for his appearance
at his trial.
During the war there was a
good deal of complaint to be
heard locally about Peterson's
activities in peddling socialistic
literature and otherwise de-
nouncing war and his arrest by
the United States authorities
did not come as surprise to the
people here.
Erickson is a single man, born
| in the European counties, but
who has resided in the United
States for a good many years.
He is about forty-five years of
age and has been engaged in
the occupation of selling grocer
les and other provisions through
out this territory.
