naturally different from that of any one else,

She does many little things which not

quite an extraordinary infant In poise. ap-

VANCOUVER, B. O., Nov. 6 (by Associated Press) s).-Judge w. w. Me Credie, president of the Portland club of the Pacific Coast Baseball League, has been quoted in Vancouver as stat ing that he favors dropping Sacra- mento or Salt Lake from the league and adding Vancouver next year.
 Judge McCredie's statement gave fresh start to the many rumors heard regarding a Vancouver berth in the Coast baseball organization. Van couver baseball people point out that by adding team from this city the league would have northern and south ern divisions. which would tend to cut down travel expenses. Seattle, Portland and Vancouver would be in the northern division, with San Fran cisco, Oakland, Los Angeles and Yer non in the southern.

Washburn Co. Fails to Comply with
Order to Extend Water Mains
And Wisconsin Railway Commission
Orders Action Started by
Attorney General.

Because of the failure Of the
Washbuvn Water Works COM
pany to comply with the order
of tha Wisconsin Railway Com
mission in which the water COM
pany was directed to make an
extension Of the water mains on
West 5th street in the city OF
Washburn, the Attorney General
of the State has been ordered by
the Commisson to start suit
against the Water company for
failure to comply with the order.
During 1917 a petition was
filed with the City Council of
the city of Washburn and with
the Railway Commission by
residents of West 9Th street
asking that the water mains be
extended in that part OF the
city. The Council ordered
the Water company to make the
extension and because of labor
conditions and the war the Water
company failed to make the ex-
tension, when the petitioners
called upon the Railway Com
mission for a hearing in this
matter. This hearing was held
in this city during the summer
of 1917 and the order of the
Commission was that the exten-
sion should be made by the water
company prior to June of 1918.
Up to the present time the ex-
tension of the water mains has
not been made by the water
company and dispatches from
Madison Saturday state that the
Attorney General has been or
dered to commence suit against
the water company. Under the
statutes a penalty as high as
$4,000 a day may be assessed.

Decide to Purchase Lots on Wash
ingtOn Avenue
Expect to Erect Modern Creamery
Plant Before Next
Spring.

A special meeting of the stock
holders of the Chequamegon
Creamery company was held at
the Commercial Club rooms in
this city last Saturday morning
at which it was voted to pur-
chase six lots located on Wash
lngton avenue, below Bayfield,
street, as the site for the new
creamery building to be erected
by this association.
The lots ordered purchased
were those owned by Raarup
Bros. and James N. Kinney and
face upon Washington avenue
and Omaha street. The site ia
an ideal one for a creamery
building.
The committee appointed to
determine the kind of building
wanted and the approximate
cost of same had their report be-
fore the meeting but action on
the building of a new creamery
was deferred until some future
meeting of the stockholders.
This association organized
during the winter months, and
whose actise business career
dates back to May 1st, has been
making wonderful progress and
the instisutica'f is rapidly out
growing their present quarters.
1t is likely that the new cream
cry will be erected and be ready
for operation by early spring.

Machine Went Over 40 Foot En-
bankment at Ashland
Other Occupants of the Car Escape with
But Slight Injuries. AntO
Wreck.

One of the worst automobile
accidents which has ever oc-
Cured in this vicinity took place
at Ashland early Sunday morn
ing when a Ford touring car,
carrying six passengers, went
over the 40 foot embankment on
second street in the citv of Ash
land, injuring one member OF
the party so severely that he
died the same evening. The
others of the party were badly
shaken up and one man had to
be taken to the hopital, but the
injuries only proved of minor
nature.
All of the men with the ex-
ception of one, were from the
vicinity of Mason. They are
Lawrence Larson, Emil Olson,
Raymond Snow, Paul Welty and
Cyrus Larson, all OF Mason and
Mikkonen of Ashland. The men
had attended a dancing party at
Sanborn and were on their way
home. Mikkonen of Ashland
had engaged the boys to take
him into Ashland, and the even
ing being late, they were max
ing good speed, in order to make
up for the extra distance which
they had to travel. Coming IN
to Ashland sand was encountered
along the street, which had been
used for filling the chuck holes
in the road, and it is believed
that the wheels of the car slipped
in this sand and caused the car
to leave the road and leap the
sidewalk and crash through the
railing at the side of the big
ravine.
Where The car went over there
is monster fill in the street and
this fill is supported by piling
This caused it to go end over
end and land on its side at the
bottom of the ravine. Larson
who was riding in the rear seal
of the car, was thrown out wher
the car turned over in the ali
and it is believed that the ca
hit him as it landed. His skui
was crushed and his hip wa
was broken.
A Washburn party who hap
pened to come along just afte
the accident happened, assisted
in taking the injured man to tn
hospital where he died at a lat
hour that day. One other mem
Der of the party had to be takel
to the hospital but the other
were able to return to thei
homes the same morning
Just how any of the party eS
capped death or very serious in

in the air by the piling whic
caused it to turn end over end.
Hundreds of people from thi
city made the trip to Ashlan

car.
