John Gully and a party, John tells

lost. They inquired Of a farmer what
was the name of the next town. and
what do you think he did? Can't
guess? All right; he pointed to a
sign a short distance down the road
and said, "DetOur, one mile and

WILL REBUILD.

John Joanis whose hotel business
and buillard hall was burned in the
disasterous fire of three weeks ago,
is having plans drawn for new and
modern building to be erected on his
lot next to the 3. Ungrodt hardware
store. 1t is the intention of Mr..
Joanis to begin building operations
as soon as he can have the proper
plans made and the contracts let.
The building will be two story and
basement modern brick building. The
basement will be equipped with
bowling alleys, heating plant and
storage, the first floor will house an
up-to-date billiard and pool business
and barber shop, and the second floor
will be arranged for Offices, etc.
Mr.. Joanis, is to be commended for
his enterprise, and we would be only
too glad to announce that the other
business men who were burned out
had decided to follow his example.

H. S. DEFEATED
BY "Y TEAM
SCORE OF 20 TO II IN GAME
LAST THURSDAY
Was a Wild and Woody Game With
the "Y" Team Outplaying the
High School Bunch Who Played
Excellent Basket Ball.

The "Y" team of Washburn came
into their own last Thursday night
at the gymnasium in this city when
they took the High School bunch in
to camp to the tune of 20 to II
score. The game was a thriller
from start to finish and although
defeated, the boys from the Hill are
entitled to great deal of the credit
for the game which they played.
Scamfer of the "Y" team made a
great hit with the audience by his
style of playing which was without
a flaw.
In the first contest between these
teams the boys from the H. S. car
ried off the honors, and the sting of
this defeat burned deeply into the
hides of the "Y" players who were
determined to even honors and they
went into the game last Thursday
with this intention, and although
the High school battled for every
inch of the way, yet they were un-
able to stop the "Y" boys and the
game ended with the score as above
mentioned,
On Saturday night of this week
the "Y" team will go to Hayward
where they will play against the
American Legion team of that city
and they expect to bring back the
honcrs. 1850 ~ /.

BERNARD LEE DEAD.

Captain and Mrs. Nils Lee re-
ceived the sad information last Sat
urday that their son Bernard had
died at the hospital at Mount
Clemens, Mich, at $3.50 on the
morning of the first day of the new
year. The news came as a sad
blow to the aged parents and rela-
tives, and distinct shock to the
many friends of the family in this
city. Bernard has been in poor
health for some months, but he has
not been so serious as to alarm his
family, until few weeks ago when
he decided to enter the ST. Joseph
hospital at Ashland for treatment.
He appeared to improve and came
home to this city about a week before
Christmas. On Christmas evening
he left for Mt. Clemens, Mich. He
stopped day or two to look after
his business interests at Rhine
lander. He seemed to stand the
trip we'll and had begun his course
of treatment, but in his weakened
condition. his heart trouble came back
and he passed away few hours
after the new year was ashered in
Bernard Lee was one of those
popular young men whose friends
were legion. He had lived in this
city for thirty years, except during
the past few years when he had
established himself in business at
Rhinelander, Wis.,, and during these
years he acquired a large acquaint-
ance. He was friendly and gener-
Gus. 1t may well be said that
Bernard was generous to fault, he
bestowed favors everywhere, no one
was ever denied help, if it was pos
sihle for him to give it. He SEEM
ed care free and always smiling and
happy. The one. outstanding example
of his life was his generous solici-
tude for his parents. He was al
ways planning for their comfort, and
happiness, they wanted for nothing
that was in his power to provide.
Because of the thoughtfulness and
kindness of dutiful son, these es-
timable people were spending a
happy and contented old age. His
generosity should be an example
to other young men in this commun-
ity.
Bernard A. e. S, Lee was the
youngest child of Mr.. and Mrs. Nils
Lee. He was Al years of age on
the 18th Of last October and was
born at Fredricksberg, Norway.
When he was six years of age he
immigrated with his parents to
Canada where they settled in the
Province of New Brunswick. Thirty
years ago the family, which then
consisted of the parents, two sons
and two daughters came to this city
and have resided here ever since.
Edward the oldest son died several
years ago. Bernard attended the
Washburn schools and engaged in
business in this city for a number
of years, until he went to Rhine
lander, where he has been in busi-
ness for a few years. He always
considered this his home, and he en-
joyed his frequent visits to the home
of his parents here and to renew
friendships. The funeral services

The remains of August Bodin, who
was killed overseas, has arrived at
Ashland, and plans are being made

o'clock in the afternoon.
Augie as he was familiarly known

lived at Houghton practically all his
life. He was well known in this city,
being great favorite among the
younger men. He enlisted with the
Washburn company and went over.
seas early in the war. Since. August's
death Mrs. Bodin has moved to Ash
land to reside. The members of the

can Legion as we'll rs the American

Milk and cream prices are higher
in Washburn than they appear to he
elsewhere in the state, according to
the published announcements appear
ing in the daily papers of the last
few days.
On January 1st the milk prices in
Milwaukee went to 10 cents per quart
while the price for a half pint of
cream was also reduced to Ia cents,
q reduction Of one cent.
Madison, Kenosha and other cities
in the southern part of the state also
report reductions in the price of
dairy products which are as low if
not lower than the Milwaukee price.
Milk dealers in Washburn are still
maintaining their price Of Is cents
per quart delivered from cans and
IA cents per quart delivered in
bottles, which is four cents above the
Milwaukee price.
When the price of fourteen cents
per quart was made it was because
of the extremely high price of feed,
but there has been an appreciabie cut
in the price of feed during the past
month, excepting hay which has re-
manned stationary, yet the price of
milk has not been lowered.
In many instances people having
one or two cows who are supplying
but limited number of customers,
are selling milk at the ten cents
price in this city, but milk dealers
generally are getting considerable
more mcuey.
One. local grocer who handles con-
siderable milk, voluntarily cut the
price OF milk to IL cents per quart,
which he says is sufficient, and with
fsed going lower it is likely tfiat
other milk dealers of the city will
have to do likewise.

The following, wrdSsen by Mister
Benjamin Franklin Reimold, was
recently published in the Cleveland
Plain Dealer. Billy Williams writes
that he questions the veracity Of the
author:
This is supposed to be the largest
motor truck in the world. 1t was
built in Detroit for the purpose of
negotiating Michigan roads Tin their
present condition.)
TIE giant tires on this truck, if
made into rubber bands, would
stretch the length of the Lincoln
Highway. Sufficient rubber would
be left over to make 5,675 toy ballons
and one collar for eight sightseeing
natives in Michigan, Ohio, Texas
and Rhode Island.
The drivers cab is of reinforced
concrete and is equipped with lathe,
arbor press, work bench, tools and a
complete stock of parts. Access to
the csb is by electric elevator. The
motor is of the 24-cylinder type,
cylinders cast in sections. Ladders
are attached 70 the sides, allowing
for access to the spark plugs. The
amount Of electric current consumed
for one spark is sufficisat to staftsan
ordinary car sixteen times per day at
temperature sufficiently low to
fleeze hard-boiled egg.
The radiator is of the tubular aype;
macadoo tnbes are used throughout,
of the Harlem river type. On a re-
cent test the water heated to q BOIL
ing point, blowing off the filler cap,
and it rained week in the vicinity
of Detroit. This necessitated mount
ing auxiliary tank back of the
drivers seat, which prevents over
heating. This also overcomes the
necessity of filling the radiator en-
route, which does away with COM
plants from farmers, as in the past
their wells have been pumped dry.
The gasoline tank is under the
drivers seat and the cost of one fill
ing Decessitates carrying the funds
to pay for same in a safe, which is
mounted nthe running board.
The rear axle was built in one of
the big tunnel factories in Jersey
City. During the assembly of this
axle one of the mechanics got lost
and it took him three days to get his
bearings. 1t is interesting to note
that during the interior construction
of this axle the workmen carried
their lunch with them.
The drive is of the infernal-snake-
worm type, the worm is of allied steel
The bearings are Scotch high-ball
self-aligning and non-refllable.

tion on first speed is such that at a
motor speed of 1856 r. p. m. the
truck moves so slowly that it goes
backwards while ola high. This
truck has attained speed so great
that after STOPPING 1T still going
9 miles per hour.
1t takes three men, with slcvels
seven hours to fill the grease cups
and takes one man one hour to
light the tail lamp. The headlights
when turned on for one hour furnish
sufficient light till sunrise. 1t takes
five minutes for the horn to blow
after pushing the button and one
toot clears the road for one-half day.
( The driver is provided with a
megaphone so that he can properly
issue his orders to the traffic officers.
On trip last week, after leaving
the pavement on the Detroit Monroe
road, the driver lost control and the
truck skidded seven miles before it
could be stopped. 1t plowed up 1856
acres of fall wheat, killed thirteen
cows, and forty-five chickens, ruined
peach orchard and the radiator
burst, washing away pig pen and
drowning several Of the occupants.
The driver was uninjured and claims
that if he had been able to hold the
road he could have stopped the truck.
He has been exonerated from any
blame whatever, as holding the road
on this rastio,slar stretch is feat
no one has yet been able to perform.
