MANY DEALS IN REAL ESTATE
PAST MONTH
Dupont Chemical Company Houses
Change Hands and Other Pieces of
of Property Sold During the Past
Two Weeks.

Upwards of twenty thousands OF
dollars worth of residence property
in the city of Washburn changed
hands during the past two weeks and
from the transfers made it looks as
If small real estate boom had hit
the city again.
The movement of the property
started with the sale of the houses
by the du Pont Chemical company,
and since then much other property
in the city has changed hands and
many deals in property are still pend
ing. q
The news that the ship yard has
started employing men, the rumor
that the Omaha people intend to-
erect warehouse, and the starting
Of several small Industries with the
prospects that the Kenfeld-
Lamoreanx company will .h4ve several
more busy seasons, that the du Pont
company will maintain a good sized
crew, together with the fact that to
build at present day costs is almost
prohibitive, has lead people to invest
in homes.
GWashburn is fast getting to be q
city of real home owners with but
little of the property held by in
vestors,. and this condition will have
more to do with the. growth of the
city than many other things which
could take place. ga
Manufacturing concerns desire
cities of home. owners in which to
locate and when the fact once becomes
generally known that Washburn has
such large percentage of home
owners manufacturing concernss are
going to turn their attesssiensTthis'
way.
While the prices. at which the
houses were sc,d compares very
favorably with prices during the boom
of 1918, yet the figures are still far
below the actual cost of reproducing
the property. ts

Much work is to be done the COM
ing winter on the big power dam
being erected by T. N. Okerstrom
and Associates on the Iron River at
Orienta Falls, in Bayfield, county.
For some, time. the company has
had a crew of men engaged in the
work of erecting buildings and clear
| ing the land in the vicinity Of the
dam and as soon as materials can
| be secured the work of constructing
the dam will be started.
The site for this power dam is an
ideal one, familiar to many people
of Bayfield, county who have visited
Orienta Falls. The Iron River at
this point has quite fall with a
large body. OF, water and the basin
where the water can be stored covers
stretch of quarter of a mile wide
and about half mile long. 1t is a
natural site for power dam.
At the bottom of the storage basin
where the dar,, is to be constructed
the stream has high. banks and is
about one hundred feet in width. 1t
/ is. proposed to. erect, the dam just
above the falls on the Iron River
and to use the basin back of it for
the storage Basis for the water.
The company back of this project
has been meeting with success in
the sale Of their stock and it. is ex-
pected that t he dam will now be
constructed. 1t is estimated that
nearly three thousand horse power
can be developed and the current will
be delivered to Duluth, Superior,
Iron River and Washburn where it
will be sold.

EXCELSIOR MILL NOW RUN.
MING STEADILY
From Three to Four Cars of Manu-
featured Products Will be Made
Each Week. Plant to Employ
From Twelve to Fifteen Men.

After temporary shutdown
while the new machinery was being
re-adjusted, the excelsior factory OF
the Washburn Manufacturing Com
pany was started up again on Tues
day and since that time the plant
has been operating steadily and
from three to four car loads Of the
manufactured products will be turn
ed out weekly.
About fifteen men will be employed
in and about the plant steadily ano
as new machines are added addition
al men will be employed.
This is Washburn's first new
manufacturing company and, while
it is being started in a small way
yet it has great possibilities OF de-
velopment. More plants of this
kind are needed in the city.

FINE ROADS

Have you taken the drive along
the lake shore in Bayfield, county the
past season or since this road was
adopted as a part of the State
Trunk system? Much good work
has been done by patrolmen along
this road and it is now in fine condi-
tion for travel and one of the beauty
spots of Bayfield, county The roads
are exceptionally fine in the town of
Port Wing and good roads are also
to be found in the towns of Clover
and Bell and extending into Orienta.
One point that should not be missed
on this trip is to travel over the
road extending out unto Bark Point
in the town of Glover. This stretch
of land extends out into Lake Super
ior for distance of nearly five miles
and much beautiful scenery is to be
seen along the route.

MADISON, Wis. Sept. 27.-The
development of the motor vehicle is
the most remarkable development in
human history. The first railroads
were built in Wisconsin about 1910,
almost 80 years ago. Ten years ago
the automobile was a negilible factor.
In ten-year the motor vehicle in
technical advancement and in a rela-
tive degree as a actor in transporta-
ton, has progressed more than the
railroad did in 80 years. The fol-
lowing shows the growth of automo-
bile ownership in Wisconsin,:

ANOTHER PLANT RUNNING

The planning mill of the, Ken
field-Lamoreaux company was start
ed up again on Tuesday of this week
after four months shutdown and
the plant is now engaged in manu-
featuring finished lumber for the
trade. From twelve to fifteen men
are employed at this plant, and it is
expected that it will run steadily
for some time.

POPULATION LESS THAN IN
1910
Something Wrong With Figures APP
parent to Almost Everyone. n May
Ask for. New Census of the
City. 81

According to Washington dis
patch published in the daily papers
the past week the census figures for
the city of Washburn are. given. at
I27O7, which is more than one hundred
short of 1910 census which. gave the
city a population. Of 1880 people. The
same report gave the county ofssBsy-
field gain of more than Z per cert
in population.
That something is wrong with the
census figures is apparent to almost
everyone. When the 1910 census
was taken the dynamite plant was
employing less than three hundred
people, the Stearns mill was the only
mill operating, and conditions gener-
ally throughout the city were not in
a very prosperous condition and va
cant houses were aplenty.
When the 1920 census was taken
more than six hundred men were ern-
ployed at the plant of the du Pont
company, the Sprague mill was
operating full blast, the box factory
was going at capacity, and many
other men were employed at various
occupations about the city and there
were but few empty houses in the
city.
School statistics of the country
show that about one-fifth Of the
population is found in the schools,
and if this held true in Washburn we
would have more than FIVE thousand
population for there are more than
one thousand children enrolled in the
public schools.
The school census for the city Of
Washburn, taken at the same time
the United States census was taken,
givs the school population as 1442
children between the ages of 4 and
20 years. Figuring the average age
of people at forty-eight years, the
basis should give the city more than
43OO people.
Again taking the voting population
Of the city as basis. During the
primary held on the 7th day Of
September, 1920, 1912 people voted,
above the age of FL years This in
cluded men and women. When the
1910 census was taken the tote was
mush less than half of this.
Since 1910 there has been many
houses erected in the city, while few
houses have been torn down or de-
stroyed by fire The percentage cf
empty houses in 1910 was much great
er than in 1920, not counting the new.
houses which were erected during the
ten years period, which were occupied.
There is yet time TO have the cen
sus figures corrected, but immediate
action should be taken in order that
the true census Of Washburn may be
given. We would suggest that the
Commercial Club officers get in
touch with the census director for
this district and learn if new CEN
sus cannot be taken. Business men
could interest themselves and captain
teams and the upper classes of the
High School could be organized into
teams for going over the city. The
census could, in this manner, be COM
pleted in short period, say not
over one or two days.
At least we could satisfy ourselves,
that the 1926 census figures are cor
rect
