SURPRISED Them

Mr.. and Mrs. Al mos Hansen
were given a very pleasant sur
prise last Friday evening at
Siskiwit Lake where they have
been camping during the past
week. The oc casion was The
anniversary Of their marriage
and few Of their friends in The
city who knew of the event
planned the surprise. The del
egation, consisting of about
twenty five people, left this city
during the early evening and
and made their way to the lake.
and all rushed into the Club in a
body and announced what the
occasion was. Mr.. and Mrs.
Hansen proved equal to the
surprise and tables and beds
we're soon cleared out of the
room and a good old fas hioned
dance was held, music being
furnished by victrola, while
Olof Olson did the calling. The
dance lasted until midnight
when ice cream, coffee and cake
w. re served and the guests de-
p plrted during the eatly morning
b urs for their homes.
Mr.. and Mrs. Hansen were
presented with a half dozen
b ,autiful spoons and hand

At Auction Sale Held at the County
Tool House Yesterday
Go to Three Different Sections Of Bay
field County. Buying Not
Spirited.


The County Road and Bridge
Committee at an auction sale
held at the County Tool House
in the city of Washburn Wednes-
day morning rid the county of
three tractors of the Nilsson type
which were purchased during
the spring Of 1918 for road work
in Bayfield, county but which
proved too light for heavy work
and too expensive for light work
which the county had for them
to do.
The County Road and Bridge
Committee gave them a fair
trial at all kinds of work and
when they proved unsatisfactory
for county road building pur-
poses it was decided to offer
them for sale at auction.
A goodly number were in at
tendance at the sale, represent
ing many sections of Bayfield,
county and the sales as made
gives one to A. Habeitrof Grand
view, another to George Fleck
of Senoit and the third to
Hjalmer overly Of the town of
Washburn.
The tractors will prove valu-
able for work on the farm but
the County Road and Bridge
Committee acted wisely in rid
ding the county of thenA and
when they now purchase tractors
they viii be Of the kind which
the county can use.

To Show Interest Of Washburn in
Lake to Ocean Waterway
Will be One Of the Greatest Boosts for
the Great Lakes Region That
Could be Given

A bunch of twenty or more local
boosters left this city last evening for
Duluth to attend the meeting Of tie
Lakes to OCEAN Waterway commission
which is holding it's meeting in Du-
luth.
Washburn, like other cities on the
Great Lakes, is mighty interested in
this proposition and it was for the
purpose of showing the meeting our
interest in the matter that the delega-
tion of local boosters made the trip
to Duluth.
Some time ago movemen. was
started to have the government con-
struct waterway leading from the
Great Lakes to the Atlantic ocean.
This waterway is just as important
to the development of the United
States as was the building of the Pan
anna canal for it makes it possible for
lake and ocean steamers to pass from
the ocean to lake and lake to ocean
and makes an oce;.n port of every city
on the great lakes.
The meeting at Duluth was for the
purpose of organizing and getting the
matter under headway so that it can
be presented to Congress in the very
strongest possible manner.
1t is an undertaking Of greatest inn
portance to every lake city and why
shouldn't we all be interested?

K-L Company Started the Sprague
Mill Tuesday Morning
Will Get out Materials for the Box and
Grating Factory Of the Company
in This City.

The mill of the Lake Shore Lumber
company which was recently taken
over by the Kenfield-Lamoreau COM
pany, started running on Tuesday
morning of this week, the small mill
lat the plant of the Kenfield-L -Lamoreaux
company having been closed down and
the crew shifted to this mill.
The mill is operating one band mill
and is engaged in getting out box and
Grating material for the factory plant
of the company. The company has
considerable material on hand and is
continually getting more from lake
points so that this mill will probably
continue to be operated steadily until
the close of navigation in the fall.
In connection with the turning over
of the mill considerable timber also
came into possession of the company
and there is probability that large
cut of logs will be made next winter
which will insure the mill. operating
steadily next season.
This mill plant is one of the best
equipped in this part of the state. 1t
was erected but a few years ago. 1t
is small capacity mill but up-to-date
in every respec. and we hope the XII
people will find it profitable for them
to operate it steadily.
Conrad House, who has been super
intendent of the plant since it was
built, is again in charge Of the mill,
while it is under the direct manage
ment of Alex Gackowski, of the Ken
feld-Lamoreaux company.

greatest philanthropist, is dead and in
his passing the United States loses
one Of it greatest citizens. The gifts
which this man made exceed those OF
any other American, the gifts being
largely Of semi-public nature. Car
negie's libraries are scattered through
out the land and the city oil Washburn
is one of the many places that has ben

Andrew Carnegie was a great man.
He started life as poor boy and grad
ually worked himself up the ladder of
fame until he became one of Americas
richest men. He was great teacher
of frugality and thrift.

A great game of baseball was
played on the grounds in this city last
Sunday afternoon when the LaPointe

start to finish and when the first nine
innings had been played it was learned
that the score was a tie and the game
did not end until the thirteenth inning
when Cyr sacrificed and let in Wiley

The Only Way Out

The Times, like thousands OF
newspapers throughout the
United States, has been brought
face to face with the problem OF
how to continue4in business and
succeed in view of the high price
of everything that enters into
the printing of a M wspaper.
The wage Garner does not
Scent to be the only one caught
by the "high cost of living" but
Likewise the printers of the
country have been hard hit by
the rapid advance in the price Of
all printing materials.
While the war was on many Of
the newspapers continued doing
business at the old scale Of prices
believing that when the war
Hended there would be very
material drop in the price OF
materials papers. ETC., but like
every thing else there has been
no drop and instead prices con-
tinue to advance.
For instance paper that used
to cost around &c per pound has
advanced to more than &c, inks
have advanced 100 per cent,
labor is up. type and printing
materials have advanced from
Soto 100 per cent, and likewise
the price of everything in the
m .king of q newspaper is up
from 35 to more than 800 per
cent.
Papers j sed in job printing
have likewise taken q hight r
Jump and paper entering in o
jobs today are costing the print
er more than the price OF the
delivered job q few years ago.
Our subscription rates we're
raised some time ago and will
remain where they now are, and
this has in a measure helped
out some but it has heccme nee
essary for us to also advance
our advertising rates according
".
Beginning with September
ist the price Of advertising in
The Pines will beas follows:
! 5O0inches and over per year
Con contract) 15c per inch.
loo to 500 inches per year (no
contract) zoe per inch.
Smaller spaces and small one

inch.
One time advertisements oyer
IL inches 20 cents an inch.
Reading notices sc line, min
imum charge 25c.
Black face locals 10c per line,
minimum charge 25c.
These rates, in a way, comply
with rates Of other newspapers
throughout the country OF like
circulation and the advance,
comparing it with the advance
in the price Of goods, is but
very slight and we believe will
be borne by our advertisers
without complaint 1t is the
Ionly solution of the problemaof
publishing newspaper during
these times Of high prices.

Legislative Committee / Conducts
Hearing in This City
Several Propositions Presented to the
Committee for Their
Consideration.

A road hearing was neld
at the court house in this city
yesterday afternoon by the
State Legislative Committee
consisting Of Senators Clark and
Kuckuk and Assemblymen Chap
pie, Kubatski and Ruka and
Road Engineer A. R. Hirst. the
purpose of the meeting being to
hear the sentiment OF the people
of Bayfield, county on the pro
posed changes to the Federal
and State Trunk Highway sys-
TENS.
Several propositions were be-
fore the meeting. The first
presented was for the continn-
ance of the system from Bay
field, north along the shore Of
Lake Superior, through Cornu-
copia, Herhster and Port Wing
and on to Superior. The fight
for this extension was lead by
Senator Wilkinson of Bayfield,
and T. N. Okerstrom of Pert
Wing who were backed by every
town chairman in the towns
through which the proposed
road would pass.
This vast territory, which is
one of the most fertile in the
state, is without a portion of the
trunk state highway and it was
the endeavor of these gentle
men to put the matter before
the commission in such man
ner that they would investigate
the proposition. At the present
time the state system goes as
far as Bayfield, and ends and
these gentlemen hope to see the
system extended so that it will
form a connecting link with the
north country in Bayfield, county
and Superior.
There are more reasons than
one why this system should be
adopted for aside from the out
let which it will furnish for this
vast territory it will also make
one of the most scenic drives in
the state.
The second proposition pre-
sented before the Commission
was for the establishment OF a
through route across Bayfield,
county. At the present time
the road through the town OF
Barksdale and across the barrons
is being used as the temporary
route. The original route runs
along the south side of the
Northern Pacific track but this
has been held up because OF
opposition and the road has not
IS yet beer surveyed. On this
last proposition there was diff
ference of opinion as to where
the route should run. Many be-
lieved that it should start IN the
town of Barksdale, running wes1
and continue on the temporary
road as far as possible. This
road has been built by the towr
of Barksdale at a heavy expense
and is surfaced road for a dis
tance of nine miles or more
while for twenty miles it ha'
been graded and placed in goot
condition. 70 abandon this rout'
would mean a heavy expenditure
of money in building a new
route and Bayfield, county resi-
dents felt this expenditure wa
not warranted inasmuch a
Bayfield, county must foot
large part Of the bill.
Others thought the presen
Barksdale road should be uses
as far west as the Moquah juno
ton, thence south through Mo
quah and west through tn
| town of Keystone south OF tn
Northern Pacific track into lro
River. Those favoring the mort
route would not object seriousl
to this except for the additions

TO COMPILE DATA OF JEFFER
SON COUNTY SOLDIERS.

Miss Myrtle Barr who has been the
efficient clerk in the Office of the
County Enrolment and Exemption
Board and is familiar with the rec
ords of the Office has been employed
by the County Court to compile data
about all of the county boys who en-
tered the military or navel service of
their country in the war with the
Central powers. The facts that she
shall assemble are for the use of his
torians who will write of the greet
war.
All soldiers-those in foreign SER
vice, in the home environments, draft
ed men and volunteers-are urged
to report to Miss Barr the following
information:
Their company, regiment and branch
when entering the service, date of
discharge, company, regiment and
branch of service discharged from,
time of foreign service, rank at time
discharge, and finally their army SER
ial number.
1t is specially desired that men who
volunteered before the draft law be-
came effective should make a COM
plete report of their record. There
were about 80 such volunteers from
this county, and the local draft board
has no official information about
them.
