Forsyth Construction Represents
tiyes Here
Making Arrangements for Materials to
Begin Construction Of Bridges
for the County.

Representatives of the Forsyth
Construction company of Cam
|eron, Wis. who have the contract
for building concrete bridges for
BAYFIELD, county across Sioux
River IN the town of BayvieN
and over the Thompson creek.
leading to the city of Washburn.
have been in the city during the
past week making arrangements
fer materials for the two struc-
lures and they expect to begin
work just as soon as these ma
terials can be gotten together.
Work on the Sioux River
bridge will be the first work un-
dertaken because it will be im-
portant to have this work fin
ished before the heavy traffic
starts in the spring.
Company representatives state
that so far as possible they will
endeavor to interrupt traffic az
little as possible and will drive
the piling and construct the
abutments before removing the
old bridge. They figure this
will take the greater part of
April and a part of May and the
bridge surface will be laid when
this work has been completed.
A temporary bridge win be
erected while the bridge surfaces
is being laid but this will only
permit light traffic and as there
is no other possible way Of detour,
travel on this road will have to
be abandoned until this work il
done.
Ine WORK On the lnOmp90n
creek bridge will be started rs
soon as weather permits but the
road through this section will
not be opened until the bridge
is completed and the old road
will be used for travel until this
time so the last work will not
interfere.
The bridge over the Sioux
river is a big one, being 70 feet
wide with a fifty foot span and
its construction will be Of re-
inforced concrete.

LAND SALES TO
Be EXTRA HEAVY
Much bayfield, County Land Will Be
Moved This Spring
Real Estate Men Receiving Inquiries
from All Parts of the
County.

There is going to be a big
movement in Bayfield, county
lands the coming spring accord
ing to real estate men from all
parts of the county. Already
inquiries are being received from
different points and some early
sales have already been COM
pleted, but the big land sales
will not commence until the
latter part of April and the
month of May.
During the past season the
Mason, Drummond and Port
Wing districts experienced the
biggest boom and these localities
are also looking forward to
another large land sale the COM
ing spring.
The Washburn, Bayfield, and
Cornucopia districts are also
looking forward 20 a land rush
and real estate men are getting
ready for it.
The majority of the land sales
made last season were to actual
sellers and the inquiries this
spring are coming from farmers
who have sold their places in
other states at high prices and
are moving to Bayfield, county.
Bayfield, county lands are
rapidly settling up and the
value of the land in the county
is growing by leaps and bounds.
The county will see a greater
growth during the next five
years than it has experienced up
to this time.

Farmers Buy Six Carloads Of Dynamite,

Farmers Buy Six Carloads of Dynamite.
Six carloads of dynamite have
.lready been ordered by dealers
in Bayfield, County this season.
This certainly shows that the
farmers ase taking the right
attitude to put idle acres under
production. In 1919 there were
eleven carload lots of dydamite
sold in the county. With six
carloads already sold there are
good reasons that our farmers
will use twelve or more carloads
during 1920.
Mr.. Bru baker says that Wash
burn, Bay field. Benoit and
Mason have all bought one Car
and Iron River two cars. The
dealers and banks have been
showing keen interest toward
increasing the sale of dynamite
and better still the farmer is
also beginning to realize the ad.
vantage of buying when he has
the advantage Of carl0t rates.

Spot Lights Must Go

& AS q result of q recent order
made by the Wisconsin Indus
trial Commission, all automobile
owners VINO have spot lights
must have them rebuilt so that
they will come within the rule
or mas: discard them entirely.
The order is issued because of
an act Of the Legislature which
was passed at the last session.
The Com mission has conducted
hearings all over the state and
have arrived at the decision that
the spot light. while a necessary
and very convenient appliance
it's free use is very m uch abused.
No. longer can thoughtless
driver shine his spot light into
the eyes of the oncouing driver.
The order which will be issued
very soon is as follows:
"If a spot light which is in
stalled on any motor vehicle, it
shall be of such construction, as
to make it i'm possible to make
the center Of the beam of light
strike the level highway at a
distance no greater than fifty
feet in front of the motor vehicle,
except that when the beam OF
light is swung 80 degrees TO the
right or left of the straight ahead
position, NJ limitation is placed
OH. the height to which the beam
may be raised.'
County Clerk Oscar has re-
ceived from the Commission the
foregoing order, and will be glad
to explain how it operates. An
order will soon be issued by the
commission prescribing the kind
| of lenses that may he used in
the headlights Of cars.

Constitutional Amendment to Be
Submitted to the People
If Passed Will Give Legislature Power to
Fix Salary of the Next
Legislature.

All ltupOFCduC dIIlcuullcliI W
the Constitution of the State of
Wisconsin is to be submitted to
the people of the state at the
election to be held in April, in
which it is provided, if passed.
that the present legislature or
any succeeding legislature may
fix the salary of their successors
at more or less than the present
allowance of $50O.a0 for two
years.
1t would seem that this is a
matter which should interest
every voter. Even those who
say that the legislature is COM
posed of wealthy people, should
be more. in favor of this amend
ment than those who possess
enough riches to be able to be-
come member of that body.
The salary of the present day
is $500 for two years for mem
Der of the legislature. Many
good men who were without
financial means were unable to
become a candidate for this Office
because Of the fact that that the
salary allowed by law would not
furnish enough money to even
pay for railroad fares and board
bills curing the sessions, to say
nothing of allowing any Per diem
or anything for necessary extra
expenses.
Under present salary there
has been a financial loss to
everyone becoming a member OF
the legislature and this should
not be. We believe the salary
should be sufficient to at least
allow for necessary expenses
and a small amount for services.
On two former occasions this
question has been submitted to
the people but was turned down
because the average voter did
not give the question enough
consideration. Conditions have
become worse and worse with
the advancing cost Of everything
and unless the voters decide to
permit a change in the consti-
tuition which will advance the
salary no one but men of means
will be able to fill that important
Office.
The present salary of the
legislator was set years ago
when short sessions were held
and when a man could get by"
on the salary but with sessions
lasting more than six months
and with the taking away of
passes and the increased cost of
everything it is impossible to at
tend the sessions of the leg;s-
lature without a financial loss of
anywhere from $500 to 100000.
Necessarily under present con-
ditions and the salary many good
men, well qualified for the office,
whom the people might desire
to have represent them, must
decline the office beceuse. of the
financial loss entailed.
