Strawberry Payroll
Runs Into Huge Sum
NEARLY $4,000 CRATES
MARKETED HERE
Early Ripening of Crop Causes
Competition With Central
Wisconsin Points.

With the strawberry season still in
full blast in the Washburn district
upwards Of 10000 crates of the lus-
cious fruit have already been mar
keted by the several growers in this
district and the indications are that
before the close of the season up-
wards Of $1,000 crates will have been
marketed.
This means that growers in the
Washburn district will have received
from $4,000 to $4,000 for their
crop for the average paid for the
berries has been around $500 per
crate. Had the market price been
what ,it was year ago the amount
received by the growers would have
averaged one third more, but be-
cause of the early season at which
the fruit ripened this year it was
bought into competition with berries
from central Wisconsin and ehls
had the effect of dropping the price.
The berries have been OF fine
quality and. there has been a steady
demand for them.
The acreage devoted to berries this
season is less than one-haH what it
will be the coming year. Many Of
the farmers of this district have
learned that the strawberry crop is
one of the best that can be grown for
cash returns, and many Of them have
increased their acreage.
There is considerable work con-
nected with the growing and market
ing of the crop, but with Washburn
able to supply many pickers much
more acreage can be handled with
out having to import pickers.

TALKS TURKEY" ABOUT.
COAL SITUATION

George Otis Smith, director OF the
United States Geological Survey,
whose data ON the coal industry has
been guide for government officials
handling the situation, declares that
there is "going to be a tremendous
shortage of COAL" and tnat he's be-
lieves many householders will burn
coke this winter"
Director Smith says further: "The
situation is acute, and one can see
It along the Atlantic seaboard from
Boston to Washington. The tracks
are practically empty OF coal cars.
The coal reserves are down probably
to 10000, 900 tons, or enough to last
from seven to ten weeks more.
"What coal producers and coal con-
sumer alike need is reform Of the
coal business rather than compromise
between parties to the controversy,
SAYS Director Smith. I'm this re-
form it is absolutely essential that
the mine worker should cooperate with
the mine operator. Too long have
the mine owners treated the coal
business as private privilege, and too
long have the labor leaders, with no
less monopolistic attitude, obstructed
every move for underground efficiency
and economy.
THE peoples coal costs too mucn
because of the mistaken idea that
mine owner and mine worker can
continue to fight over contracts and
rules. Cheaper coal and larger
earnings will come when engineering
lis emphasized more and bargaining
less"

AND HANDS OUT MIS-
LEADING FIGURES
But DOdges Issues on Which He
Seeks Reelection as Governor
of the Great State of Wisc0n-
sin.

Governor John j. Blaine delivered
a political address at the Du Pont
Club in this city last Friday evening
before an audience that filled the club
auditorium, but in his address he
lodged the issues on which he seeks
the nomination on the Republican
ticket, and instead dwelt on his par
don of two poor moonshiners, raked
the Esch-C Cummings law, tried to
play up his veto of the bill passed by
the special session Of the Legislature
which would have made tax dodging
corporations pay their just share of
the taxes, and he endorsed Peavey
for Congress.
Governor Blaine started out by
shedding crocodile tears over the
proposed destruction of the Battle
Axe railroad but he neglected to ex-
plain why he failed and neglected
to take any action to. assist the peo-
pie of Bayfield, county in their fight
to prevent the tearing up of this
railroad.
Under the statute it was the duty
of the Governor to direct the At
tOrney General to intervene in the
proceedings on behalf of the State.
Indeed the Attorney General had no
power to act unless so directed by
the Governor. but although the Dis
trict Attorney of Bayfield, county,
who had charge of the case, promptly
requested help from the Governor,
he paid no attention to the appeal,
and it was only after repeated letters
from the District Attorney, copies
of which have heretofore been pub
lished in the Bayfield, county papers,
that the dear Governor woke up and
authorized tEe Attorney General to
act. But that was after the order
had come from the Interstate Com
merce commission to abandon the
road.
The Attorney General got busy
at once and started an action to pre-
vent the road being torn up and this
fight is now being carried to the
United States courts, quite con-
trast from the negligent and careless

CELEBRATION
WAS A DANDY
FIREMEN SHOW THEY CAN
! DELIVER THE GOODS
Arrange One of the Best Cele-
bratiOns Held in the City i'm
Years. All Have a Good
Time.

Praise from every quarter is be-
ing received by the Firemen OF
Washburn who had charge Of the
4th of July celebration, for it was
one of the best that has been held
in the city in years, and the pro-
gram of the day went off without a
hitch of any kind.
The parade in the morning was a
hummer. Many lines Of business
were represented and the floats were
all good and worthy of praise, show
ing that the business houses and firms
of the city are willing to cooperate.
During the entire day there was
sports and amusements of some
kind, consisting Of automobile races,
Ford races, horse races, sulky races,
motorcycle 1acesy slow automobile
race, with a big base ball game be-
tween LaPoint and Washburn which
was won in decisive manner by
the Washburn team.
After the, supper hour there was q
saddle race and this was followed by
water fight in which the East End
Fire Department crew contested
with the crew from the West end
The East end boys got the water on
the West end fellows and kept 1t
there until they were drowned .out
When someone suggested they did
not have show the East end fellows
repeated, the dose.
The program of the day was con-
cluded with big street dance on
the pavement at, the Washington
avenue corner and other dances at
different halls throughout the city.
The Firemen worked like Beavers
to make the celebration decided
success and they were successful in
their efforts.
II has been suggested that the
Firemen should have charge of the
Labor Day celebration in co-operat-
ion with the Unions end Lodges and
the suggestion looks like good one
to US.

STEAMER NIAGARA NOW
UNLOADING AT THE DOCK
Shipment Contains 2,75O,OOO
Lbs. of SmOkeless and C0rdite
and 61O Tons of Nitrate OF
Soda.


Enough explosives to wipe out an
entire army if used for war purposes,
but which in peace times will be con-
verted into Dumorite which will be
used for clearing wild acres of
stumps and also for mining purposes,
is being unloaded at the Commercial
Dock in this city this week, and from
there loaded unto cars where it is
being shipped to the plant of the
Du Pont company at Barksdale.
If one were able to see the manner
in which the explosive is shipped it
would give some idea of the mann II
in which explosives were shipped to
the Allied armies during the world
war, but the Du Pont company keep
a Gordon of policemen around the
dock property to prevent the cruious
from getting in the way, and only
those who have company pass car
get anywhere near the boat or thu
dock.
The steamer Niagara brought the
cargo to Washburn AND we are In
formed that it contained 2,75O,OO(
pounds of smokeless powder and cor
dite and Clio tons of nitrate of soda
The smokeless powder is shipped il
wooden boxes, zine lined, while tn
cordite is shipped in ordinary woodel
boxes. The nitrate Of soda arrives

manner of the Governor.

manner of the Governor.
At the time the only excuse Gov
ernor Blaine gave for tagging in the
matter was that he had not received
the letters from the Disctrict~ Attor-
ney, which seems to Bayfield, county
people to be a pretty lame excuse,
for it is hardly probable that letters
addressed to Hon. John J. Blaine,
Governor of Wisconsin, Capital Build
ing, Madison, Wis.,, did not reach
him, and were lost in the mails, for
although the letters bore return
card to be returned within five days
if not delivered, those letters have
never shown up. The people of
Bayfield, county will require better
explanation from the Governor.
Now the Governor comes to Wash
burn and sheds great, big crocodile
tears, over the loss of this road which
he had failed to assist in trying to
save, and he blames the Esch- Cum
mings bill for his lameness.
In his address he dwelt at consi-
derable length on his pardon of two
moonshiners who had been arrested
tried, and found guilty of violating
the Volstead act and who were SEN
fenced to Jail for their wrong doing,
and he played up wonderful story,
saying these men previously had a
good reputation, and he turned them
loose from the jails which held them
in order that they might be able to
contribute to the support of their
families and get an education. He
completely lodged his Nardon of
Peter Christ, who was in Jail for
contempt of court, and who was. par
doned by Mr.. Blaine because he hap
pened to be a Blaine supporter.
Sheriff Hans Rodd,, refused to heed
Fthe Blaine pardon for Christ, and
because of his act Blaine made an at
tempt to remove him from office.
The great Supreme court of the
State of Wisconsin admonished Gov.
Blaine for exceeding his pardon au-
thority in this case and held that
the Sheriff could not be removed for
doing his duty in holding the man
in Jail.
The Governor got so excited when
telling about the pardon of the
moonshiners that he rather over
reached himself when he gave fair
warning that should any other re-
turned soldier commit crime wholly
against property and be sentenced
to prison, that his application for par
don would receive favorable atten-
tion by him (Mr. Blaine) providing
the man, previous to the commit

VISITED PLANT

G. H. Bierbaum, general superin-
tendent of operations for the Chicago
Box company, owners Of the former
XII plant in this city was in the
city during the past week looking
over the company property in this
city Mr.. Bierbaum informed the
Times that it was the intention Of
the company to continue operating
the Washburn plant and if suitable
freight rates could be secured so
that timber could be brought here
from distant points that the plant
would be assured of many years Of
operation. He sail the prospects Of
long life for the Washbu'rn plant
were very encouraging.

Large Cargo Of Explosives
Arrives For Du Pont Company

government labels are on all boxes
showing the contents land are mark
ed "smokeless powder for cannon
use'' or "cordite for cannon USE"
It is understood that the explosive
was purchased from the government
by the Du Pont company, and will be
ground and used in the manufacture
of dynamite at the plant of the Du
Pont company at Barksdale.
Smokeless powder as used for
cannon is far different from the
smokeless powder contained in the
ordinary ammunition used in the
smaller cartridges by hunters. There
are two kinds in the shipment. The
cordite comes in pieces about fourteen
inches in length, about quarter the
size Of an ordinary pencil, and is
brown in color and harmless looking,
while the smokeless powder comes
in pieces about half inch in length
and about the same diameter as the
cordite.
We are informed that cordite OF
smokeless powder, if not confined, is
very harmless stuff and the manner
in which it is handled would indicate
this, for derricks are used for hoist
| ing the boxes from the hold of The
boat and it is then loaded unto tx
trucks and from there to the cars
The boxes are banged around con
siderable in the handling, and som'
Of them get smashed up occasional
ly, but those who know explosives sa,
there is absolutely no danger from
this source. There is however grea
danger off the stuff catching fire
when exposed to flame or spark ant
lit is for this reason that so mucl
care is taken to keep matches o
fire away from the men who are en-
gagged in the work.

Alfred Hartley of southern Wis

week with old friends and acquaint-
ances. Mr.. Hartley is one sof the
Washburn old timers. He was here
in the early days and was identified
with the brownstone quarries at
Houghton, when the quarrying of
brownstone was one Of the import
ant industries of this region. Al
Hartley is an all-aroand good fell
low and to see him again is indeed
pleasing to the old Washburnites
