Many Washburn Homes Visited by
Death Past Week

Earth to Their Heavenly
Homes
Death of Pioneer

Mrs. Marion Cudmore, age 6s
years, 5 months and IL days,
passed away peaceably at her
home on West Bayfield, street
last Friday at LIS p. m. after a
short illness with bronchial
pneumonia. For some time past
Mrs. Cudmore's health has not
been the best, but temporarily
she would feel better. but when
visited by her late illness did not
not have strength to battle the
disease, and although everything
was done by medical skill and
her family their efforts were of
no avail and she passed away
quietly and peaceably last Fri
day. She was conscious to the
end. During her illness she was
a patient sufferer.
The funeral services were held
from the late residence on Mon
day afternoon, being in charge of
Rev. Davis, and the remains
were laid to rest in Woodland
cemetary. -
Mrs. Cudmore was born in
Prince Edward Island, Canada,
and was married to Mr.. Edward
Cudmore 4d years ago. They
came to Washburn "a years ago
and have since made their home
here. Grandma Chdmore. as
she was called. was loved by all
who knew her. She was ever
looking out for the comfort and
welfare of her family as well as
of others with whom she came
in contact and her motherly ad-
vice has helped many a troubled
one over the rough places in this
life.
Mrs. Gu dmore is, survived by,
four sons, John Of Virginia
Mimi. and Eddie. Fred and Ray
of this city, and three daugh-
ters, Mrs. Edward Berry and
Mrs. Elmer Moe of this city and
Mrs. Bernard Arseneau of Su-
perior, also one brother George,
Stead of this city and three
brothers, Robert, Richard and
William Stead of Prince Edward
Island, Canada, and one sister
Mrs. Elizabeth Cudmore of
Seattle, Wash. The family has
the sympathy of their many
friends.
MOTHER"
Whose love can equal the love of mother:
Whose the devotion SO loyal and true;
Who suffers SO much with JOY for another.
Who works with such pleasure az mother

You hail with delight the friendship Of
others,
You revel in love of the sweetheart
you've won.
Yet where do you find friendship like
mothers.

Ashland Has Also Heard Of Big
DOings at Plant
No Information Being Given Out by
Company officials as to Any
New Business.

For the past several months,
or since the time when cold wea-
ther set in and people had time
to sit around and spread rumors,
the rumor has been going the
rounds to the effect that the
Dupont company were finding
manufacturing conditions not
the best at GAINESVILLE and that a
part Of their big plant at that
point would be moved to the
BarksdaIe plant the coming sum-
mer. . These rumors have per-
sisted spreading from time to
time and at last they have
reached Ashland and the Daily
Press of Monday contained quite
a lengthy write up.
SO far as the Times is able to
learn there are to be additional
men employed at the Barksdale
plant the coming spring, but
that they will be employed in
tearing out that section of the
7. N. =. lines for which the COM
pany has no further use.
Below we publish the Ashland
Press article:
"A rumor is spreading about
among the business men that
the General Motors plant which
was purchased by the DUP
people and fes which buildings
are now being erected at James,
vile, Wis.,, may be partly moved
to the scene of the powder works
at Barksdale. and Washburn
will again experience a boom.
1t has been reported that the
company. has encountered a
great deal Of difficulty in the
way of marshy ground and that
they have been unable to estab-
lish. firm foundations for their
buildings. Because of this fact
they may be forced to move the
truck building plant to Barks-
dale where the company already
has a large tract of land suitable
for this purpose.
Although the temporary houses
built by the government during
the boom at Washburn are about
all sold to the Marshall Wells
hardware concern of Duluth,
the Washburn people are already
considering the purchase Of the
remaining houses so that they
would be prepared for general
thrush oil population. There are
a number of houses left which
are unoccupied which are very
attractive.
The transfer of the plant, ac-
corGing to Washburn people,
will probably be made within a
month or so. It is thought that
only trucks will be manufactured
up here, leaving the automobiles
to be manufactured in GAINESVILLE.
With the new addition to the
Barksdale plant and the new
boat plant in working order the
Washburn people expect a large
and thriving town for next
summer"

TAPS SOUNDED
FOR VETERAN
Luther Bates Passed Away at Buhl
Hospital Monday
Funeral Services Held from COngre.
gational Church Today. Interment
in Woodland Cemetery.

Luther Isaac Bates, Veteran of
the Civil War and a pioneer resi-
dent of Washburn, passed away
at the hospital at Bull, Mimi. on
Monday night, Feb. 23rd, at the
age of rs years, 5 months and 10
days. For the past year Mr..
Bates has been in poor health
and has been under the care of
physicians continually, and about
two weeks ago it was decided to
take him to Bull, MINI. where
he could enter the hospital in
which his daughter Miss Cora is
Matron.
It has been known for some
time by the friends of Mr.. Bates
that his condition was very
serious, and the news of his
death was not unexpected.
The body was brought to this
city Tuesday evening on the late
train and the funeral was held
from the Congregational church
this afternoon. services being
conducted by Rev. Waters.
Members of the Odd Fellows
lodge, of which Mr.. Bates was a
Charter member, acted as pail
bearers while members of the
Grand Army Post of Civil War
Veterans of Washburn and Bay
field acted as honorary pail
bearers and a military escort of
world war veterans accompanied
the remains of the aged veteran
to the final resting place in the
Woodland cemetery, in the
family lot where Mrs. Bates is
buried.
Luther Bates was as fine
gentleman as one would want to
meet. He was born in New
York State and came to this city
in 1885. For nine years he was
employed in the store of ID. w.
Corning. He then went to Osh-
kosh where he conducted a
grocery store for two years, re-
turning to this city again where
he engaged in the confec-
tionery business. which place
he conducted until two weeks
ago.
Luther Bates served in the
Civil war in the Northern army,
and after the close of the war
went west with his company to
look after Indian uprisings,
where he served until the end Of
his enlistment.
He was beloved by those who
knew him, was an excellent
citizen and a man admired by
everyone.
He is survived by one daugh-
ter, Miss Cora, residing at Buhl,
Mimi, who was here to attend
the funeral. Sympathy goes
out to her in her bereavement.

MORE PUREBRED SIRES FOR BAY
FIELD COUNTY HERDS.

The farmers of the town of Russell
have started some good work. Since
they have cleaned up their township
OF all the scrub sires, other farmers
are realizing the value of better bulls
at the head of their herds. During
the past three weeks, County, Bru-
baker has received orders for eight
purebred dairy bulls. Most of these
farmers want bull calves which will
cost from $500 to $4,000 and we are
glad to say that calves which can be
bought for this price comes from lines
|of breeding which have very good
records of production. These calves
with this kind of breeding are worth
$500 when three years olds, and will
make decided increase in milk pro-
duction. The following farmers are
those who have left orders with Mr..
Brubaker for purebred sires:
A. M. Thompson, Bayfield,, a pure
bred Guernsey, Joseph Messbarr, Iron
River, Milking strain of short-horn
bull, Mr.. Oscar Johnson, Mason, a
Holstein sire, Erick Brodin, Benoit,
IA Guernsey sire, A. p. Anderson,
Grandview, Holstein sire, Henning
Clausen, Port Wing, Guernsey sire,
Joe Petras and John Kisley, Manda,
each Holstein sire.
Reports Coming In From Town Com
mitties.
A few of the town COMMITTEES have
sent in reports giving the number of
purebred and scrub sires in their town
shiu. These reporst show room for
Improvement. For example, the town
of Washburn reports six purebreds
and eight scrub and grade bulls. The
town of Washburn has $40 cows. What
would be the result IL all these cows
were bred to good purebred sires? All
reports from cow-testing associations
show that milk production was in
creased on first cross on just ordinary
cows, $50 per cow per year, besides
the increase in the value OF the cows
which were the offsprings of pure
bred sire. Therefore that would mean
$2S.000 annual increase In milk pro-
ducti0n alone in the town of Wash
burn. just by the use of purebred
bull on every herd in the town.
The town of Port Wing reports
seven purbred bulls and nine grade
and scrubs. Port Wing has 500 cows.
If every COW in Port Wing could be
bred to pureored bulls, it would mean
$25.000 annual increase in milk pro-
ductfon alone. These are not figures
only bnt what is actually taking place
in the herds of our best breeders, and
then what is the answer when we ask
does good purebred bulls used on our.
herds pay?'
