Ashland "Y" Defeated

A quintet representing the &.
M. G. A. Of Ashland stacked up
against the local Y. team in this
city last Saturday night and the
game was a walkaway for the
local bunch, and because of the
high score piled up by the local
team the Ashland boys left the
floor.
The Ashland boys put up a
scrappy contest during the first
half but went all TO pieces in the
last half. One Of the Ashland
boys become rough and bolster
Gus over referee decisions and
was put out of the game. The
visitors did not have man to
take his place ind because OF
this fact forfeited the game and
lett the floor.
The game was refereed by
Remsen Bell and no fairer or
squarer referee ever stepped
upon the hoor. His decisions
were fair and tile Ashlanders
had no cause for complaint, un-
less it was on account of the
drubbing which vas admins
tered TO them.

Holiday Trade at Local Stores Ex-
coed Expectations
Much Better Than Business Of a Year
Agois the Report Of
Everyone.

81
Nothing ever equalled it" is
the expression used by the ma
jority Of the business men in
expressing themselves as to the
amount of business done at their
establishments during the holi-
day week.
Business was simply immense
and so far in excess of that of a
year ago that there was hardly
any comparison. Holiday goods
were hard to get and the prices
were high bat this fact did not
seem to defer people in their
buying and the most expensive
articles were among the first to
go. indicating that there is
money in the community.
One storekeeper to whom the
writer talked said that he did
more business during the three
days before ChrisItmss this year
than he did during the entire
month Of December last year.
and it must be remembered that
hundreds Of men we're employed
atlthe dynamite plant a year
ago while this year che crew
Is small.
There is not a store in the city
that did not receive some Of the
extra business and as a result
the merchants were a merry lot.
Reports from all over the
country are to the effect that
the holiday trade was immense
indicating that prohibition which
has been in force, has caused
people to spend their money in
legitimate lines.

THE NEW YEAR

far from what some people ex-
pected it would be and in looking
back we should have few re-
grets.
But in looking ahead 1920
should be the best year in the
history of Washburn. The
Washburn Manufacturing COM
pany. organized during the last
weeks Of the old year. will be-
gin the construction Of their ex-
celsior plant and this will be
operating full blast by the mid
year. This will give employ
ment to a number Of people, be-
sides furnishing market for
the small timber on the cut-over
lands Of the farmers. There is
every indication that the ship
yards Of the Anchor Shipbuild-
ing company will be operating
by the early summer, giving
employment to a hundred or
more men, and possibly many
more than that number. The
Northern Products compsny,
which will be supplied by local
capital, will likely be engaged
in the manufacture of several
items. These are industries
which will make Washburn
grow for they are permanent
and will continue to become
larger. The Kenfeld -Lamoreax
company will expand and will
operate the Sprague mill in adj
dition to operating their box
and Grating factory and small
saw mill. This means additional
employment. The new cream
cry of the Chequsmegon Cream
cry Association will be erected
the coming spring, and the
money which this institution
will pay out to the farmers of
this vicinity will be felt in
Washburn. Farm lands In the
vicinity of Washburn are being
cleared up more and more and
the farming industry is growing
by leaps and bounds.
Washburn today has better
chances of advancement than it
has ever had before. Just watch
|us grow.

At the last school the attendance
numbered upward of 700. The

Today we celebrate the birth
of the year 1920 and there are
none that should be sorry that
we have turned the pages on the
year 1919 for it has been a try
ing one for the American people
as a nation. The year just
passed has been one of the un-
certainties in which the timid
were afraid to venture and big
business" did not dare to expand
with the result that conditions
have been anything but normal.
During the past year we have
been going through the recon-
struction period following the
greatest war the world has ever
known and to do business as
usual was treading on danger
Gus ground for foods and ma
terials were high, labor was un-
certain, and markets were pam
icky, but the year 1920 looks
much brighter for everyone.
Here in Washburn we have
every reason to feel joyful over
the prospects for the new year.
The past year has been trying
one for Washburn business be-
cause of the fear that some peo-
pie had that things were going
to the bow-wows because of the
shutting down of the big muni-
tions plant Of the Dupont COM
pany, but the year has gone by
without anyone getting hurt to
any great extent and business
has been much better than most
people expected it would be.
The dynamite plant of the Du-
Pont company has continued to
operate on 4 peace-time basis
and if anything, prospects are
that there will be more doing in
1920 than there was during the
past year. The Kenfield-Lam-
oreaux company has confined to
operate steadily during 1919 and
the indications are that 1920
will be the banner year for this
company. Tie Northwestern
Fuel company has had a good
year but the present year prom
ises to eclipse the past. Busi-
ness in Washburn in 1919 was

Stockholders Unanimous in Decision
To Reduce Capital Stock
Will Permit Company to Transact Bust
ness Without Delay. Con-
tracts in Sight.

| A special meeting of the
stockholders of the Anchor Ship
building company was held at
company Offices in this city on
Monday evening of this week,
1.-THE meeting having been called
| for the purpose Of considering
and deciding the question of re-
|ducing the capital stock of the
Incorporation from $500,OO0 to
$3.50, 900.
The meeting was largely at
tended, many people being in
attendance from out OF, town
points, and more than three
fourths of the outstanding stock
was represented at the meeting.
At meeting Of the Board Of
Directors of the company held
recently it was decided to Gala
meeting of stockholders and ask
that a reduction of the capital
stock be made, and an explain
alton of the reason for this was
made to the meeting by General
Manager w. Gum Smith.
When the Anchor company
was first organized it was in
tended for a half million dollar
corporation, but because Of the
unsettled coalition CT the coun-
try it became apparent that this
amde IRA would not be necessary
for the starting ofFthe yard, and
a decision was made to submit
the question to the stockholders
who voted unanimously to reduce
the amount one-half.
A statement was made by
Mr.. Smith to the effect that the
company had submitted pro-
posals on contracts totaling four
teen millions of dollars, part
of which there is very fair
prospects Of landing, and the
company wanted to be in
position to be able to do
business without waiting for
half of the original capital stock
to be sold as is required by law.
AS soon as the authorizatic
for the reduction of the Capita
stock has been ordered 5y the
State Department, the company,
it is said, will be in position to.
transact business, and company
officials intimate that it will not
be long before there will be
something doing in the shipbuild-
ing line in Was hburn. M
Here's wishing success to the
company.
