HEARING Tor BE HELD AT MADI-
son NOV. %
Rates Asked for Range From $500
for Rural Phones to $3.50 for Busi-
ness Phones, With General IN
crease for Other Service.

Unless the Railway Commission of
Wisconsin can be convinced that the
rates for phone service in Washburn
are adequate Washbuln subscribers
of the Wisconsin Telerhone company
are due for raise in rates, which
range from $500 for rural subscii-
bers connected with rural line within
asradius of four miles from the Cen
trail office with $500 per annum for
each mile or fraction beyond, to $3.50
per month for one party business
lines in the city.
Notice of the hearing has been
sent out by the Wisconsin Railway
Commission to newspapers in this
section and they call for a hearing
to be held at the office of the Com
mission in Madison o nthe 23rd day
of November, this year.
The increases asked by the Wiscon-
sin Telephone company are as fol-
lows:
One party business line $3.50 per
month.
Two party business line $500 per
month.
Extension business phone $1.OO per
month.
One party residence phone $500
per month.
Two party residence phone s1.75
per month.
Four party residence phone $1.65
per- month.
Extension residence desk phone
75c per month.
Rural phones $500 per month.
The increase amounts to about II
percent over the rates as now changed
for service in Washburn, and the,
petition of the Wisconsin calls for
the raise to be granted immediately.
In their petition for a raise in rates
the Wisconsin Telephone company
sets forth that the Washburn ex-

losing proposition, one that has not
paid interest on the Investment. That
during the past year there has. been
an increase over the nrmal cost of
materials and of labor of over 1000
and that the cost of such materials
and labor is still being increased and
will be further increased during the
year 1920.
So far there has been no action by
the City of Washburn or any other
city organization to make an appear
ance at the hearing to be held at
Madison, and unless this is done and
an attempt is made to show that the
increase is not warranted Washburn
subscribe-s may expect to have their
rates ino-eased.

RUSH FOR LICENSES is NOW
+ ON
Indications are That Hundreds of
Hunters Will go Into the Woods
During the Open Season. Law
Permits the Killing of Bucks.

The open season for deer begins
on November 21st, which is Sunday
after next, and will close on the last
day of November. That there is
going to be hundreds and perhaps
thousands of hunters in the woods
during the open season is evidenced
by the number Of hunting licenses
now being issued at the Office of the
County Clerk and the number is
piling up each day as the season ap-
proaches.
Nearly every mail brings scores of
applications for licenses and hardly
day goes by now that over one
hundred of the permits are not is
sued. Those applying for licenses
are usually asking for the deer tag
which means that they are going in
quest of the big game.
This year the one buck law is in
force throughout the state, and the

the animals must be at least three
inches in length which of course pro-
hibits the killing of buck fawns.
The number of game wardens is
said to be increasing and every effort
is being put forward to catch those
who may take a chance of breaking
the law before the season opens.
Hunting shacks throughout
Bayfield, county are numerous, the
section in the west and northern part
of the county being the most popular
hunting ground.
With the opening of the season it
will be dangerous to be in tn woods

DIED SUDDENLY.

Milton DAILY, age Is years, son of
Mr.. and Mrs.Dan Daily, died very
suddenly last Friday evening at 6:10
o'clock at the home of his sister,
Mrs. Louis Holly. The trouble Is
thought to have been due to heart
trouble.
1t is said that Milton was in fine
health. until about ten minutes be-
fore his death. During the day he
had attended school as usual and
after school went to the home Of his
sister on West Pine street where he
was doing errands. At six o'clock
he was sent to Fox Drug Store to
secured tickets for the show that
evening and he run all the way up
and back again. When he arrived
at his sisters home he was gasping
for breath, ,bu5 after sitting down for
a few minutes appeared to get all
right again but within ten minutes
he called to his sister and died within
a few minutes.
During the day Milton had eaten
some canned salmon and his parents
believe this gave him acute indiges-
ton which caused gas pressure
around his heart and the exercise of
running to the drug store caused his
death.
The funeral was held on Monday
morning from the Catholic church
and interment was. in Woodland
cemetary.
Milton DAILY was a bright little
fellow and was known about the city,
he having assisted his brother in sell
ing papers at different times. Be-
sides his father, and mother he is
survived by four brothers and two
sisters. The death of Milton has
caused great sorrow in the Daily
family and the sympathy of their
many friends go out to them in their
bereavement.

SUBMARINE CHASER WAS IN
Local Port.

Many Bayfield, people took advan-
tage of the opportunity offered last
Saturday and Sunday to go down to
the Wachsmuth docks and sslook over"
the United States revenue boat Cook
which had come into port. The craft
formerly was submarine chaser in
European. waters during the world
war, and was then known as the No.
438.
Her commander, Boatswain Trudell
was very cordial in every way and
permitted visitors OF inspect the YES
sell The boat now carries a crew of
Is men and is assigned to Lake Su-
perior and the Apostle Island district
for the purpose of enforcing revenue
laws.
The craft is 110 feet long, has IA
foot beam, is steel constructed with
six steel bulkheads, making her prac-
tically unsinkable. She has speed
of about "a knots an hour and is pro-
PEELED by three Standard Engines of
T250 horsepower each. Hhe storage
tanks carry 240O gallons of gasoline
and under ordinary running she con-
sumes about 60 gallons of gas an
hour.
Strict navy discipline prevails on
board the craft, and the crew, COM
prising fine bunch of young fellows,
are proud Of their vessel and the SER

eer bullets will be flying thick and

deer bullets will be flying thick and
fast. AS usual the warning is given
to wear colored garments in the
woods, the red and green being the
best colors. Avoid wearing any
hing that may resemble deer for
there are always those in the woods
who shoot at any moving object and
it is wise to be disguised to look like
anything but deer.

SUITABLE ROUTE FOR NO. 10
LOCATED
County Highway Committee Believe
They Have Located Better and
Less Expensive Route for the
Cross County Highway.

Mr., Mclean of the Wisconsin High
way. Commission met with the mem
bers of the Bayfield, county Highway
Committee in this city during the
latter part of last week and while
here went over the new proposed
location for the cross county high
way leading into Iron River as select
ed by the Bayfield, County Committee
and County Highway Commissioner
Friberg.
After going over a portion of the
proposed relocation the State man
was more than pleased with the now
location as it. will give better
grade and be less expensive to build
than the proposed route, at the same
time being about the same distance
across the county as the route of the
Wisconsin Commission.
AS near as the Times can learn
the proposed route is over the Peer
less grade from the Chequamegon
Bay region to Moquah, thence fol
lowing the proposed route from that
point to Iron River.
By using the route offered by the
Bayfield, County Committee the hills
and ravines of the Fish Creek and
Pine Creek are avoided as are also
the heavy grades, and the elimination
of this heavy work will cut the price
of the proposed highway to sum
that is reasonable.
There is much in favor of the
Bayfield, county proposal. The total
distance from the Chequamegon Bay
region will be about the same as the
proposed route, the country traversed
is more level, the road is easier to
build and the new route will serve
a greater number of people.
The. Peerless. grade runs through a
level country from the Chequamegon
bay region as far as Moquah where
it crosses the Northern Pacific
track. while the route selected by the
Wisconsin Commission goes through
"a country cut up with deep ravines
where the grade will be as much as
nine per cent on the completed road.
The, Bayfield, county members of
the County Board will all favor the
new location of their committee for
the cross county highway and the
State Commission should at least
grant the county right for another
survey to determine the most feas-
able route.

MANY ACCIDENTS.

Daily papers the past few weeks
have been reporting numerous acci-
dents as the result Of hunting. Most
of the accidents are occurring from
the careless handling of weapons
while in the woods which indicates
that all people do not as yet know
that firearms are dangerous.

THE FIRST SNOW.

This region was visited by the first
real snow storm of the winter last
Monday and since that time the
weather has been below the freezing
point, with no Indications of the
snow melting. While only about
three inches of snow fell in the city,
yet at points north of here from
five to six inches fell. The only
people that rejoice very much over
the snow is the deer hunters. Warm
weather is expected again before
winter sets in for good.

FLOOR LEADER FOR MAYOR
BRINGS MATTER UP

Council Adjourns Until First Tues
day in December When the Council
Will Again Consider Matter With
Hope of Reducing Amount.
The Washburn times. [volume] (Washburn, Wis.) 1896-1976, 1920-11-11

The city council is apparently dis
satisfied with the levy as made by
that body for school purposes, which
was a cut from the original levy as
asked by the school board amounting
to $7200.00, or total of $4,000.
At the October meeting of the
Council, which was joint meeting of
the school board and the City Council,
after considerable discussion between
the two bodies, the council, at the
suggestion Of the Mayor, made the
amount Of the school levy $45,000, a
cut of $7,200O0 from the amount
asked.
At the meeting held on Tuesday
evening Of this week, when the Coun-
Gil was about to adjourn, Councilmen
Hans Thompson, who by the way ap-
pears to be the floor leader for the
Mayor, brought the question of re-
consideration of the levy question be-
fore the council and made a motion to
the effect that the action of the council
at the Oct. 18th meeting be recon-
sidered. Mr.. Thompson had very
little to say about the matter but
suggested that perhaps the Mayor,
whom he considered better informed,
might be able to give t he Council
a little information on the point,
whereupon the Mayor took up several
items of the suggested budget as
made by the school board and en-
deavored to show that the amount
could possibly be cut.
A question was raised as to the
right of the council to- reconsider this
question at this time, but the motion
was put and all councilmen voted in
the affirmative with the exception of
Councilmen Oscar and Swanson.
The council in. adjourning, adjourn
ed until the December meeting Of the
council at which time the matter be
reconsidered.
