Well Driller Walter Gustafson,
manager of the Diamond Well Drill
ing Company of this city, who has
been here during the past week, re-
ports having completed two of the
finest artesian wells in Bayfield,
county during the past week, both
wells having been drilled and COM

The wells are located on the Cam
mich and Plaatts farms in the vi
cinity of Herbster, the one for the
former being 70 feet deep and hav-
ing a flow of 1s5 barrels daily, while
the one on the Plaats farm is 1888
deep and has a flow of about 100
barrels daily.
Mr.. Gustafson, states that the
value of both farms have been in
creased $1,000 as the result of the
striking of artisan wells ard na-
turally these people are feeling fine
over their success.
During the past season Mr.. Gustaf-
son has been kept exceptionally busy
drilling wells in the northern part
of Bayfield, county and his reputa-
tion as we'll driller is spreading far
and wide.
Next season he expects to add an
other machine to his equipment and
this will enable him to take care of
much more work than he has been
able to do with the one machine.

PROVIDE FOR
WINTER TRAFFIC
COUNTY BOARD TO BE ASK
ED TO KEEP ROADS OPEN
Petitions Being Circulated in
Ashland and Bayfield, Counties
With This End in View.
Boards Must Provide Funds.

/ 1t is understood that petitions are
being circulated in Ashland and
Bayfield, counties asking the county
boards of the two counties to keep
the road running from Ashland to
Bayfield, in condition for travel dur
ing the winter months. The petit
tions, it is said, are being signed by
many people.
The state law provides that where
the citizens Of county petition the
county board to keep certain roads
open for travel during the winter
months that the board at the annual
meeting in November must provide
funds for this purpose.
The road which the petitioners
seek to keep open during the winter
is one of the heaviest travelled in
the county. During the past season
the road was open during the winter
although but little work was done
on it, and it is not likely that the
cost will not be great if the snow is
not heavy.
The dynamite plant people use
this road to transport their men to
and from work during the night
when the trains do not operate and
the road is also csed by autoists ira
yelling between the two cities.
1t is understood that the petition
calls for an open road from Bayfield,
to Ashland.
Garage men of both cities welcome
the movement and several garages
are thinking of keeping their places
open for live storage if the petition
goes through.
