Hundreds Of visitors are ecming

nearby points to witness the event
and the business houses Of the, city
plan to make it gala day and all
places of business will be closed
during the hour of the, launching.
Company officials state that every
thing will go off on schedule time
so fer as they are concerned, and
that, the boat will be practically COM
pleted as far as it is. possible to
complete the boat and take it under
the bridges over the Erie canal.
Mrs. M. H. Sprague has been

built by the local company and as
the ship slides down the ways
bottle will be broken over its bow
and success will be wished to tie new

The Hudson-Athens is a steel boat,
115 feet in length and A feet beam
with IL feet depth. It. was con-
structed in its entirety in the yards
of the Anchor Shipbuilding COM
pany, excepting the machinery end
which, was furnished by the Inger-
soiI-Rand people of New York City
and installed by the local company
under. the direction of Mr.. Holme.
The boat is new in design, being
the first of the kind eve- built in the
United States, having a screw at
either end which is diven by an en-
gine of the Deisel type which uses
oil for fuel.
The work is as, fine as has even
been turned out in shipyard in the

the Erie canal to its home port,
where the superstructure will be
completed. under the direction OF Mr..
Curr, of the company.
The Anchor Shipbuilding company
is one of the important industries OF
Chequamegon Bay. and there is in
terest at Ashland and Bayfield, as
we'll as in this city for the success
of the company, for in its starting
it has brought to the Chequamegon
Bay region the distinction of being
AN important shipbuilding plant.
The. company officials have extend
ed a general invitation to the pub
lie to witness the launching and the
gates will be thrown wide open to
every one on Saturday.

new BOAT SLIPS into
WATER ON SATURDAY
ELECTRIK MAID
ROBBED LAST NIGHT
Boy Burglars Enter Bake Shop
AT Midnight and Rife Cash
Register of All Available
Cash.

The Electrik Maid Bake Shop wa.
entered between 1870 and IL O'Clock
last night and the cash register was
rifed of all cash with the exception
of 32c and check from a local deal
er.
The robbery took place between
the hours of 1880 and IL o'clock
Mrs. Paul was in charge of the bak-
cry during the evening and left the
place for Paul's cafe just before
midnight. Mr.. and Mrs, Paul re-
turned to the bake shop shortly after
twelve o'clock and discovered the
robbery when they went to4,empty
the cash register for the night. Be-
tween $27.0O and $28.OO was taken.
Mr.. Paul says he has clews as to
the young robbers and if they
return the cash to him 10 questions
will be asked, otherwise prosecution
will follow.
This is not the first robbery that
has been perpetrated in this city
during recent weeks. Several
places has been entered and cash
and goods taken. The, work seems
to be that of boys and suspicious
point stronly to two local characters.
1t is time this gang or pair was
being rounded up and examples
made of them. They have been al
lowed to carry on their petty trobber-
les to the annoyance of local busi-l
ness people until they have come
to feel that they are entirely secure
against arrests, and hardly week
passes but that some place is brok-I
en- into.
One certain place in the city was
broken into at least three times.
The boys seem to watch for an op-
portunity to break into places while
the proprietor is temporarily away
and thus avoid detection.
& The diligence Of the police depart
ment in watching auto speeders
should at least be diverted long
enough to put. a stop to- this petty
thievery, for they are the real
of the law and Washburn
business is entitled to protection

WISCONSIN, A REAL
PLAYGROUND

The great state of Wisconsin, re-
cognized throughout the Union as
one of the greatest of agricultural
States, is fast gaining another dis
tinction-that of being the play
ground of the United States where
natural beauty of scenery cannot be
excelled.
People of Wisconsin are just be-
ginning to learn their own stare.
Their attention has been called to
the beauties by the outside tourists
who are coming here TO enjoy our
wooded hills and dales, our streams
our lakes our boating, our scenery
and our climate. The tourist travel
to Wisconsin is growing by leaps
and bounds and one cannot travel
far without running into tourist
parties from adjoining states and
states afar, who have been attracted
here by our good roads and our Won
derful scenery.
Their praise of Wisconsin has at
tracted the attention of our home
people who are just now beginning
to learn what we really have and
they are beginning to know Wiscon-
sin.
Just recently a Washburn resi-
dent, who has Travelled far to see
the scenery and enjoy the climate,
has travelled Wisconsin and his
praise of our home state as COM
pared with other states is good 20
hear.
Wisconsin truly is great state,
great in agriculture, great insInanu-
facture and great in climate and ma
tural beauty. It is THE great
State of the Union.

up-to-date pieces of printing ma
chinery yet out.
The automatic feeder does away
with pressmen, insures perfect
register on all jobs, whether that
job be a one color job or job with

The American motion picture that
has made the greatest hit in Eng
land for several years is the Fox
production of "A Connecticut Yam
kee in King Arthur's Court" The
most interesting fact mentioned in
the cable telling about it is that
Queen Alexandra, Princess Maude
and other members of the royal
party almost lost their regal dig

over his now famous satire on roy
atty in the portrayal of Sir Boss, the

Chaplin's foolery, which is frankly
burIesque. Mark Twain has al

run for months in London.
