SODA NITRATE
is EXPECTED
DUPONT COMPANY TO GET
THREE BOAT LOADS
Will be Unloaded at CONNER
cial Dock and Shipped to DE
POnt Plant at Barksdale.

The Du Pont Powder company ex-
pect the first Of three boat loads of
nitrate of soda to arrive some time
the latter part Of this week and are
advertising for 1876 men to appear
at the docks on Saturday morning of
this week to sign up for the job.
The three boats are expected to
carry upwards of 5000 tons cf nitrate
of soda, and upon it's arrival will
be unloaded from the boat into box
cars and will be taken to the plant
Of the company at Barksdale where
it will be stored in the soda store
house. ~
Previous to the war the Du Pont
company had all of their nitrate of
soda shipped to this city By boat
from Chill in Souh America, but
when the war was on the shortage of
boats became so acute and the freight
rate by water became so high that
shipments by way of the Atlantic
and st. Lawrence river and the
Great Lakes was abandoned and the
soda was shipped to Gulf ports where
it was loaded unto cars and shipped
across the United States by rail.
During the past summer the Com
mercial Dock in this city was dis
mantled by the Omaha railroad COM
pany, and when water freight rates
became normal again the plan of
shipping by water was again con-
sidered by the Du Pont compny and
this company expended many thou-
sands of dollars in getting the old
Commercial Dock built up again for
the handling of the business.
\ Nitrate of soda is said to be highly
infamable and great precautions are
taken in the handling of the products
Employees at the docks and on cars
are not permitted to have fire any
where near the soda and in order to
eliminate the danger. from sparks
from the engines hauling the nateri-
al box cars are used.
The bringing of these shipments
to Washburn by water furnish en-
ployment to quite number of peo-
pie, and the Omaha company will,
also have to have an additional crew
hauling the stuff to Barksdale.

THE SAXON TEAM
COMING SUNDAY
Battle Royal Expected When
Two Teams Line up Again
Next Sunday Afternoon.

What is expected to be one of
the best games of base ball played
on the local diamond this season is
scheduled for next Sunday afternoon
when the Saxon and Washburn teams
will cross bats.
The Saxon boys have been able to
administer two defeats to the strong
Washburn aggregation once a 4 to
3 score and on the other occasion by
such odds that the score has not been
given.
But Washburn expects to retaliate
next Sunday and slip over winner
and they are getting together their
very strongest men for the contest.
Corcoran will be on the mound for
Washburn and he will have on the re-
ceiving end "Spinky" Carlin of Ash
land while the rest of the lineup
will be the strong Washburn in and
outfield.
Washburn feels the sting of tive
defeats by the Saxon boys and this
makes them more determined than
ever to win this game. With their
heavy slugging team and the best
kind of team work they feel they
will be able TO put across winner.
Naturally the bigger the crowd
the better the boys play and they
want every rooter in the city ito be
present to boost them along.

$2500.

The city of Washburn faces the

at salary of $25OO per year, the
letter stating that she expected to
arrive in the city at an early date
to take up the duties of the office.
Miss Blanding was Supervising
Teachers in the Washburn schools
during number of years and is a
very capable woman, well quilted for
the position which she has accepted.
This gives to the city two school
superintendent Mr.. C. E. Hulten,
who was elected by the former school
board for a term of three years,
still holds his contract with the
school board, and according to state
ments heards expects to retain the
