to defeat last Thursday evening by
a score of 29<to "a when they stack
ed up against the YIN. G. G. team
Of Ashland.
The game was thrilling one
throughout and much good work was
done by both sides, but the Ashland
boys had the better team work which
won for them the hotly contested
game.
The features of the game was the
basket shooting by Lloyd Olson for
the Washburn boys and the excellent
team work of the visitors. The game
throughout was fast and furious and

on the ,anxious seat at all tinies.
This was the second game of the

In theirsfirstn game with the WISH
burn High School team. they were de-
feated by one epoirt in East gama.
Tonight they will play their second

cess in the sfrst game while the S'Y"

ROLLER EXPLODED.

Walter Elmer and Bert Robinson
had a ma, row escape last Sunday
morning at the Robinson barber shop
when the hot water heater explod-
ed. but aside, from being splashed up
with water and SCOT neither was in
iurd in the least, although pieces OF
the boiler flew in every direction.
Mr.. Elmer, who has charge of the
shop this winter, went down to the
shop Sunday morning to see how the
fires were getting along and discov-
cred that the fire in water heater had
gone out during the night. The
shop did not appear to be very cold
and he immediately started out to
build a new fire, not thinking for a
moment that the pipes might be
frozen. After he had started the
fire Bert Robinson entered the shop
and the two were standing talking
near the heater when there was a
terrific explosion and when the steam
and SCOT had cleared away it was
discovered that the heater had ex-
ploded. A piece of the cast iron
from the heater imbedded itself Ill
the desk upon which Mr.. Robinson
was sitting at the time, but luckily
neither of the two were hit by the
flying iron although both were
spattered up with water and SCOT.

SUPERIOR PLEA TO ALTER
RULING GAINS SUPPORT
Movement Started in City to Change
Postofice Edict Gathers Nom
entum. H,s %i ,f@ ~

Movement started by Superior Re-
pubhcans to have President-elect Har-
ding rescind the executive order
which placed the local postmaster
ship under civil service rules has
gained statewide momentum, it was
learned yesterday.
Assuming that Fred A.. Russell,
present Democratic postmaster,
would continue to hold the berth de-
spite the change in administration,
Superior Republicans wired promin-
ent party leaders in the state and ma
ton that their Offices might be used
to effect a change.
Milwaukee Nervous
From Milwaukee came reports yes
terdays that Republicans of that city
were nervous over the possibilities of
President Wilson's executive order
and strong pressure was to be
brought to bear on Mr.. Harding to
have him set aside the edict.
The Milwaukee postmastership also
comes under the ruling, according to
reports, as well as the positions at
Superior, Sheboygan, Oshkosh, RAJ
cine, Madison and Eau Claire. Ac-
cording to politicians, the Milwaukee
job is considered the fattest postal
prize in the state and for this reason
Superior Republicans leaders feel
confident that with Milwaukee's sup
port, President-elect Harding can
be brought to see the light.
Russell Non-C -Committal
Postmaster Russell is still nom
committal on the entire subject. He
recently returned from Washington.
At the time of the announcement
that the local postmastership came
under civic service rules, Superior
Republican leaders were disturbed
about the matter and for few days
wires between Superior and state
and national headquarters were hot.
NOTE-The Washburn postoffice
is in the same position as some Of
the others in the state.

A train load of alleged liquor law
violators from Hurley, numbering in
all fify-setyen persons, were brought
into Ashland over the Northwestern
line on Tuesday evening, accompani-
ed by a band of United States de-
puties, where they were arraigned
on charges IF having violated the
Volsted act.
The raid was made by United
States deputies from Chicago who
arrived at Hurley Tuesday afternoon
in. their second invasion of the "bad
lands" 'of the North woods country.
The deputies were armed with war
rants for the arrest of men, the war
rants having been issued secretly
last week by Federal Judge Kenesaw
Mountain Lands at Chicago, and
that there was no tip-off was evidenc-
ed by the way the raid was pulled
off.
Upon their arrival at Hurley on
Tuesday the Federal agents swooped
down on the numerous disguised
saloons which had been previously
picked Tor the raid by secret opera
tors who had been in Hurley, and in
all fifty-seven men were arrested
and more than one hundred gallons
of whiskey of different ''breeds" in
cluding a supply of "white mule"
was picked up as evidence.
The deputies came to Hurley
heavily armed, expecting to encount-
er trouble, but the raid was made
quietly and the men arrested and
citizens Of the city of Hurley as well
stood by awe stricken at what was
going on.
For some time Hurley has been re-
ceiying considerable publicity as be-
ing one of the wettest spots in the
United States and on several occa-
sions arrests have been made, but
the raid made on Tuesday eclipsed
all other attempts and was the big
gest raid made in the northern part
of the state.
Information has leaked out that
other towns in the northern part of
the state are due for raids and since
Tuesday nights drinks are said to
be "scarcer than hens teeth"

r. N. OKERSTROM ENTHUSIASTS
TIC OVER POWER DAM
Work Being Pushed on Big Dam Be-
ing Built on. the Orienta Falls on
the Iron River. Crew of Twenty
Men Now Employed.

T. N. Okerstrom of Port Wing,
who is the leading spirit in the new
power dam being built on the Iron
River at Orienta Falls in the north
ern part of bayfield, county, was in
the city yesterday on business con-
,nected with new development pro-
position. n
Mr. Okerstrom is very enthusiastic
over the prospects for the new power
dam which is now being built. He
believes that it will furnish cheap
power to many of the towns and vii
lagos in this part of the state and
will. be the means of boosting small
industries which have heretofore had
to depend upon fuel for power pur-
poses.
Mr. 0kerstrom stated that twenty
men are now employed in the work OF
erecting the dam, that the buildings
have all been erected, and that work
on4.dam proper is now now going
steadily on. 49,
1t is the proposedeto build dam
of sufficient height to- Furnish at
least three Thousand horse power.
At the outset ona wheel will be put
in which hawill deyelopsin4 the neighbor-
hood of 1900 III: Paandsarrangements
will also be made for the putting in
of another wheel to develop 1000 H.
p. as soon as the business warrants.
: 1t is the intention of the new COM
pany to run line from their power
dam to Iron River and ITO Port Wing
and then to make asloop around Che
auamegonx Bay, TOUCHING at Bayfield,
and Washburr.
1 The company lis now selling bonds
to- provide funds to complete their
work and as soon as this has been
done the work on the darn and power

THIRTY CITIES TAX v
RATE TOO HIGH
Towns Slip Over Legal Limit of IS
Mills Set by State.

MADISON, Wis.-Thirty Wiscon,
sin cities exceeded the legal tax limit
of 35 mills in their assessments the
last year, a report of the tax COM
mission, dealing with financial statis-
tics of cities shows. Rising costs OF
carrying on city government without
a porportionate increase in the as
sessed valuation of property is gi-
ven as the cause for excisting condi-
ton.
Financial statistics for each of
the 1873 cities of Wisconsin have just
been compiled.
Madison Debt High
The bonded debt of Wisconsin
cities is shown to be $39,OOO,OOO, or
S29.58 per capita. The legal limit
of indebtedness for all cities is
established at $93,OOO,0OO. Madison
showed the highest per capita debt
with $62.65, while seven cities under
800 showed no debt at all.
General property taxes and per
capita property taxes were given,
showing that West Allis had the
highest tax of $39.41 per capita,
while the average for all cities was
S3O.Si. Milwaukee had $34.07 and
Madison $25.66.
Hudson Tax Rate Leads
The tax rate was established for
all cities at 27.2 mills on the dollar.
Hudson had the highest rate with
56.2 mills, while Wausau, with 36.5
mills and Eau Claire with Al mills
were among the cities which exceed
ed the limit of 35 mills set by law.
The rate in Madison was 20 mills and
in Milwaukee 26.5 mills.
Madison had the lowest tax rate
for educational work with AZ mills,
or $4.2e per thousand dollars OF as
sessed valuation. The highest rate
was in Hudson, where tax Of 28.9
mills was levied. The figures show
that the tax for each school child
enrolled in the cities having school
superintendents was $500. Cudahy
had the highest tax per school child
with $94.17, with the lowest in Hay
ward, $23.2J.
Income Tax Figures
Milwaukee was shown to have had
an income tax roll f$S,939, 900, Of
which $1,95O,OOO was collected in
cash. Kenosha ranked second in
income tax, with 100000, and
Racine had $4,000.
Salaries Of elected city officials are
shown for June 80, 1920. The high
est paid mayor outside of Milwaukee
was the mayor of Superior, who re-
ceiyes $4,000 year. Green Bay and
Oshkosh both pay $4,000.
From the above it will be noted
that Washburn is not the only city
in which the taxes are exceedingly
high. The cost of county and city
government has increased. The
hope Of taxpayers now is that there
seems to be general decline along
the line and in another year or two,
we may receive the welcome news
that taxes will be lower.
