region are making great advance
region are making great advance
preparations for one of the largest
fruit crop productions and best mar
ket conditions which have confronted
them for some time.
During the past week there has
been distributed more than four car
loads Of crates to local horticulture
lists and they have been conveyed to
farms in the vicinity of Washburn
and Bayfield, for the berry picking
season which will open in short
time.
The strawberry market gives pro-
mise of being particularly favorable
for the Bayfield, County growers this
year as the crops in a great number
of the older strawberry producing
districts have been injured, so it is
reported,to the extent that is going

situation. With these existing con-
ditions the prices will stay at sub
stantial figure and the remuneration
to the grower for his efforts will be
as high a point as that maintained
last season.
The cherry crop now looks as if
it would be much better than anti
cipated during the early spring, the
trees seeming to be in a much better
condition than was anticipated, al
though many of the orchards will
suffer the effects this season of The
disastrous blight of last year, which
entailed loss running from so per
cent to 80 per cent.
Up to the present time there does
not appear to be any indications of
a cherry blight and with the care ex-
Hercised by the growers following last
years experience, the crop will pro-
badly be above normal in a year or
two.

Hogstrom, Roy H. Okerstrom,
John Morrison and Frank Hon
strom, of Port Wing; d. M.
Maxcy of Washburn; Byron Rip
ley and T. F. Macmillan of Iron
River.
Following the meeting of
stockholders, the directors met
and elected the following ex-
ecutive officers: 7. N. Okerstrom
O. w. Lundgren, vice-president;
V. E. Honstrom, treasurer, and
Roy H. Okerstrom, secretary.
This is the company which has
been organized by T. N. Oker-
strom for the purpose of develop
ing a hydro-eiectric power plant
at Orienta Falls, near the mouth
of the Iron river, in this county.
The company has been recent
Iy incorporated with a capital of
$1O0, 100000, most of which has
already been subscribed, and
the company plans on vigorously
prosecuting it's plans and. if pos
sible, have the plant well along
toward completion before the
cold weather sets in next fall.
The power company, rather
than to transmit it's power to
distant points, desires that it be
utilized in this territory, and
with end in view, a company to
be made UP largely Of stock
holders of the power company is
being formed here to engage in
the manufacture of pulp.
A meeting was held at the
Town Hall in this city on Satur-
day evening for the purpose of
starting the ball rolling, and
there was quite a turnout. Mr..
J. c. Jacobson, an engineer Of
Minneapolis, Minn., and a man
of large experience in projects
of this kind, was present at the
meeting and gave detailed in
formation relative to the subject.
He had previously examined the
proposed site on Half Moon lake,
formerly the mill site of the
Iron River Lumber Company.
and pronounced it ideal in every
resp, CT for that purpose.
1t was decided to start the or
ganization of a company with a
capital of $1Oo. 1000 and the name
selected was The Iron River
Pulp & Paper company. There
is no present intention on the
part of the organizers to engage
in paper manufacturing, but to
push the pulp plant to COM
pletion, and to have a stock Of
pulp wood on hand ready to be-
gin grinding just as soon as
Juice" can be secured from the
power plant. Thirty of the
needed hundred thousand dollars
were subscribed at that meeting,
and committees were named at
Iron River, Port Wing and
Washburn to push the sale of
stock. 1t is not anticipated that
any difficulty will be experienced
in financing the project, for it is
one that appeals to the person
seeking profitable investment.
The manufacture of pulp is
not a very big thing for a town
viewed from the standpoint of
employment of labor, but it
makes possible the construction
of the power plant and the
transmission of cheap power to
this city, and therein lies poten-
tial possibilities that are great.
With cheap power, splendid
manufacturing sites, good rail
road facilities and pleasant sur
roundings for workmen, it would
seem that if the people go after
industries in business-like way
they can be landed. It's worth
trying. don't you thinkg

La Toilette Hits
Democrats and
Republicans
Exploitation and Servitlde
of Public Sure Result of
Victory by Eifhcr Party IN
Wisconsin, His Opinion

MADISON, Wis, July % Under the
caption "hTe Old Parties Have Failed"
Senator La Toilette in his magazine to-
day arraigns the old parties for their
tactics, but avoids any direct reference
to Cox or Harding. The editorial says
in part
"Popuar government cannot long ell
dure in this country without an ag.
gressively progressive party. The Re-
publican and Democratic conventions
just concluded demonstrate that both
the parties are completely controlled
through political bosses by the great
special interests and that the election
o. either of the candidates means 4
dictatorship of plutocracy and political
and industrial servitude for the great
mass of the people.
"Neither of these parties for years
has willingly admitted new or pro-
grossive idea into the policies of the
national government. They have
shamefully deceived and ruthlessy be
trayed The voters who have given them
power. Having no other purpose than
to protect the monopoly powers Of the
great financial interests which are
their masters, they have joined in per-
mittng the merciess exploitation of
the people, and are rapidly converting
the freest and most beneticcnt govern
ment of the world into a tyrannfcal
dospotism. .-.-.
Acting in vicious accord dictated by
their financial masters through the
greatest lobby ever assembled in Wash
ington. the Democratic and Republican
parties joined in the enactment of The
infamous Esch- Cummins railroad Bit
the crime of 1920-which has paralyzed
transp ortation, stagnated industry, de
moralized credit and thrown hundreds
of thousands Of workers out of employ
mont.
"Under their joint sanction profteer-
ing has fourished, and notorious prof
iteers have gone unpublished, while the
laws intended to protect the people
from outrageous increases in the cost
Of living have been turned into instru-
nent of oppression and persecution
against those seeking in lawful manner
to better their working and living con-
ditions.
THE great trusts which control the
markets for agricultural products fix
prices so low to the farmer as to allow
him at best only hard earned exist
ence, while the prices of the same
products to the consumer are so high
as to compel him to limit his pur-
chases to the barest necessities. Thus
the producer and consumer are robbed
and commerce and industry are
paralyzed.
"The proof is overwhelming that the
so-called League of Nations is a mere
alliance for war and. not league for
peace. Bloody and terrible wars by
which large populations are being dec-
mated are now raging over the CONT
ront Of Europe with the connvancc
and in some cases the actual support
of the members of the League of Ma
tons. Military and naval ornaments
of the members Of the league, as we'll
as Of the United States. are increas-
ing by leaps and bounds"

military the upper hand, and after con-

control of the district.

Meanwhile, during the night, Sim

Hospitals Filled With Injured
Altogether the damage to property
caused by both sides is estimated to
be about half million dollars. The
hospitals this morning were filed with
the injured, among them the National
lists who were wounded with the mill
tary's bullets and those who we're beat
en- at the ship yards. There were about
forty Ulster casualties.
When things seemed about to quiet
down into that surface peace which
follows every Irish outbreak, the street
lighting began again in the Fall Street
district. The postoffce was wrecked
in the recrudescence Of the fighting,
though it is not clear from advices
received here which side was respon-
sible for the damage. The military on
the scene engaged in action once more
