TWO HURT IN
PLANE CRASH
Machine Operated by Pierce of
Minneapolis and Howell of
This City in Accident at Clo-
quet, MINI. During past Week

Lieutenant Pierce pilot, and
William Oswald, passenger, were
seriously injured in an accident at
Cloquet, Mimi, the latter part of last
week when the Canadian Curtis
plane operated by Pierce crashed in
to the tops of trees during blind
ing snow storm, resulting in the
plane falling to the earth and SER
iously injuring Pierce and Oswald.
The plane was owned by 0. j
Bauman Of Rice Lake and was being
used by Arthur Pierce of Minnea-
polls and Herbert Howell of this
city for the purpose of giving ex-
hibition flights on the range of
Minnesota. The boys were carrying
passengers for amusement purposes.
The day of the accident the plane
had made eight flights and this was
to have been the last flight of the
day. The plane disappeared into
snow cloud and the snow blinded
the operator and crashed into the
tops of trees, causing it to be wreck
ed. Pierce and Oswald were buried
in the ruins of the machine, and the
plane was total wreck.

INVESTIGATING RETURNS.

Mr. H. S. Anderson, representing
the Internal Revenue Department,
has been in the city the past week
checking up the 1919 returns of de-
linquents. Up to the present time
Mr.. Anderson hasfound more than
fifty, and large number of these
were called in and paid fines, taxes
and penalties. The Revenue De-
partmept is so far behind on their
work that the check at this time will
cover only the 1919 returns, but it
is the plan OF che department 70
check up the 1920 returns just as
soon as possible. Those who have
failed to make returns for 1920 should
not fail to do so as promptly as pos
sible in order to save fines and in
terest.
The trouble seems to be that a
number of people have confused the
State and Federal Income tax state
ment and when the State return has
been filed they have neglected to file
their federal income tax statement. 1t
is necessary to file both in order to
avoid fines and trouble.

CHAMPIONS OF SUPERIOR COM
ING SATURDAY.

On Saturday of this week, the Car
penter Junior High school team,
which is the champion 'kid" team of
Superior, will play the Scouts at the
Y. M. C. A. The Scouts wish to
show the people of Washburn that
thep appreciate the support given
them this winter, and are according
" scheduling home games with this
the best boys teams available, to
make sure that the contests are close
and interesting. The Carpenter
bunch trimmed the Superior Mon
archs worse than the Scouts did, but
that was on their own floor, so there
isn't much odds one way or the other
on the game. The only sure bet is
that the game will be brim-full of
snap, pep, and speed, and you're go
ing to miss an eye-full il you don't
see it. Same price as ever-25

The following weel; the Scouts
wind up the season by playing the
Senior Team from the Boys Depart
ment Y. M. c.. A. of Duluth. The
game will be played at Washburn,
and will be return game to the one
played at Duluth March a, in which
the Scouts lost by the score OF 16
to Ia. Good preliminary will no
doubt be arranged for both these
games, and will be announced. later.

CLEARING Is GIVEN.
FLYING START MONDAY

made a study of the problems of the
farmers of his district and has been
valuable aid to them. He is now
President of the Land Clearing or
ganization for Washburn county and
is putting over campaign in his
county to clear 10000 acres during
1921. His talk was a real one and
was thoroughly enjoyed by all pre-
sent.
Following the talk by Mr.. Smith
a number of local farmers and busi-
ness men were called on for remarks
which were very interesting and
helpful. The meeting closed with
practically every farmer in the au-
dience signing up to clear 10 acres
or more during the coming season
and becoming "a member of the o r.
ganization, The Booster buttons,
appearing on the lapels of the coats
of the business and professional men
of the city indicated that their MEM
berhip is about 1004o.
|. The campaign for the Washburn
district was launched thoroughly and
meetings willsnow be held throughout
the district to get those who were not
in attendance to join the association
and clear more acres.
The city and country people are
united as never before on this drive
and the interest of everyone is CEN
tered on it. Beginning with the
advent of spring the hillsides and
valleys surrounding Washburn will
be the scene of active work and
stumps will begin to fly everywhere.
The quota for this district is five
acres more per farm. From orders
begin given for dynamite many plan
to exceed the quota and many acres
of wild land will be turned into fer
Tile acres before the close of the 1921
season.
1t behooves everyone to boost the
movement in every way possible.
Town people should visit the farms
in this section and help in the work,
encourage the farmers and offer
every aid possible. You can bank
on the farmer to hold up his end of
the job with the proper encourage
ment from the town people. Watch
it grow.

NO CAUSE FOR WORRY.

The large increase in the number
of subscribers of the Times seems to
be worrying the News editor and in
his last issue he endeavored to con-
vey to his readers the impression that
the Times would soon have to go out
of business for lack of subscribers
The News seems to be worried consi-
derable over this fact and devoted
nearly a column of "wind" last week
to an article.
We are not worrying in the least
and are sorry that our heavy increase
in subscriptions should cause the
News to throw another spasm. just

ONE CAR OF DYNAMITE.

Meetings held by the Land Clear

Herhster were we'll attended and
much enthusiasm was shown. Mem
bership to the Association was near
ly 1000. Orders were received for
one car load of dynamite. This is

SHIP YARD BOYS
HAVE GREAT time
DEDICATE SHIP LOFT WITH
BIG DANCE
Hundreds of People From All
Parts of the City Attend Big
Affair Held at Ship Yard
Building Saturday Night.

Mike Nelson, who served the
cherry, red fruit punch at the big
free dance given by the Ship yard
boys last Saturday night in order to
dedicate their new ship loft, says they
are going to date time from last Sat-
urday night in the future, for it was
one of the biggest events since the
time of Adam, and we are lead to re-
mark that, we guess Mike is about
right, for better representation of
democratic crowd could not pos
sibly be had.
The weather was anything but the
best and the roads were covered with
mud from six inches to a foot deep,
but this did not seem to hinder the
crowds in finding their way to the
ship yard where the big dance was
planned.
Carlson's' orchestra occupied the
music stand the kind of music which
they played was such that the feet
of the dancers and the older folks
who went down to look on just could
not keep still. a
The new loft where the dance was
held, is located in one end Of a new
building erected at the, ship yard as
pike shop, pattern shop and mod
loft. The building is more than two
hundred feet in length, while the
mold loft, where the daGce was held,
lis 1872 feet in length, and this big
building was crowded to capacity dur
ing the evening.
The ship yard boys who footed
the expense for this big dance, had
the place prettily decorated with
evergreen and cedar and American
flags, while on one end of the build
ing hung a miniature design of the
ship which the company is now build
ing.
At one end of the building a count
er was arranged and this was in
charge of Machinist Mike Carlson
and Pattern maker Pierson and dur
ing the evening they refreshed the
dancers by serving then fruit punch
which could not <be duplicated if
served in the best hotels of the coun-
try. At the far end of the building
ice cream cones were served.
The dancing began at nine O'Clock
and lasted until twelve, whenf Presi-
dent Gum Smith, Treasurer George
Morgan, Vice. President Kerr, Sec
retary Messenger and other officials
and yard superintendents wended
their way home, but the younger
folks and many of the older ones,
too, remained for an hour or so un-
til the dance finally came to close.
Although this building is able to
accommodate monster throng of
dancers, yet at times the floor was
so crowded that it was difficult to
dance giving some idea of the size
of the crowd.
The ship yard employees proved
themselves to be royal entertainers
and those who went down were glad
that they accepted the hospitability
of the boys and the generosity of the
company in donating the use of the
building.
This ship yard is coming in
dustry in Washburn, now employing
close to one hundred men, and the
employees are all loyal and faithful
to the company and doing their bit
toward making the project great
success.
1t was some time, and there is no
doubt about it. Here's "Ho" to Che
Ship Yard Boys.
