BADGER AND SUNSHINE
CLUB COMBINES

The recently organized combina-
tions, who affectionatly responded to
the appellation Of Sunshine Club"
and the Badger Club have mutually
arrived at the decision that it would
inevitably be an Improbable under
taking to express their feelings and
ideas of atheletic individually, and
after joint session of the two or
ganizations both agreed that it would
benefit both and the city of Wash
burn should they combine.
The purpose of this new duo-or-
ganization is to promote the inter-
ests of basket ball and athletics in
general. Both sides have excellent
material of which team, to re-
present the Badger Club and Wash
burn, can be chosen which will rank
with any Of the teams in this vicinity.
All players have five or six years
experience in the science of basket
ball and are in superb condition
which warrants a skilled team to
match all icomers.
The initial game of the combined
team will be played at Washburn
Jan. 28th, when they clash against
the fast Park Falls quint whose early
accomplishments have rarked them
as a worthy opponent for any team tc
play. Other games, including the
Union Club, Ladysmith A. c., Chetek
etc., have been scheduled for this
season, and appearances in genera
indicate and promise fast season
much to the sportman's delight.

DEFEAT OLD
Time RIVALS
LOCAL HIGH TAKES ASH
LAND INTO CAMP FRIDAY
Trim Old Time Enemies up to
The Tune of 18 to 9 in One
Of the Fastest Games of the
Season.

The Washburn High School bas-
ket ball team, composed of Cyr,
Manning, Kinney, Hawkes. and Beck,
fairly played their old time rivals, the
Ashland High School team, off their
feet, in one of the fastest games of
the season played at the Du Pont
Club gymnasium last Friday evening.
The Ashland boys came over filled
with enthusiasm and an air of
watch us do it" but soon after the
game was called by referee Bell it
was apparent that it was to be a
hard fought battle and it was not
long before the Washburn quintet
gained the lead which they continued
to hold throughout the game.
The game was fast and furious
from the very start and although
the Ashland boys had slight adj
vantage in weight, yet they were
fairly played off their feet by thier
Washbura opponents, and the crowd
went wild as the home boys began
to gain in score.
The first half ended with Wash
burn having count OF six to three
for the opposition. Ashland came
back in the second half with deter
mination to rush things and in this
they were met half way by Washburn
and again the score began to pile
up and this half ended with the score
again doubled, being 18 for Wash
burn and 9 for Ashland.
The features of the game were the
long shots by Cyr and Kinney and
the great defense put up by Wash
burn when Ashland had the ball. The
Washburn men covered their op-
ponents and watched them like a
cat would watch a mouse and on
5nly two occasions did the boys from
across the bay succeed in breaking
through this defense.
For many years Ashland has tried
to lord it over the Washburn team
and naturally the victory last Friday
evening was a humiliating defeat for
Ashland and a joyous victory for the
locals.

SHOULD BE STOPPED

There seems to be gang of boys
or young men in Washburn who
should be made to feel the strong
arm of the law, for unless their de-
predations are nipped in the bud seri-
GUS consequences will result to them
sooner or later Last Friday might
during the fire boys carried away
large part Of the stock which was
being taken out of the Pope store
The remaining goods were after
wards stored in the Peavey building
on Bayfield, street and during the
night this building was broken into
and another bunch of stock was stol-
en-. Not beng content with the mis-.
chief and thievery already done the
place was broken into again Sunday
and another part of the stock taken
so that the loss has been very heavy
one for Mrs. Pope to bear.
This is not the first case that has
been reported where this same gang
has INDUCED in their thievery an6
it is high time that halt was being
called. 1t is better to break up this
gang now than to wait until they
have been caught at some offenst
which will land them in the state
prison. A lesson should be made o,
them at this time, not only as al
example to themselves but as |
warning to others. Petty thiever!
in Washburn has got to stop.

HreSlQenC ddrulng OH MOHudy AZ
an address before the agricultural
conference attended by more than
three hundred delegates said thai the
feasibility of the St. Lawrence-G Great
Lakes waterways project is unques-
toned.
IL have spoken of the advantage
which Europe enjoys because of its
easy access to the sea, the cheapest
and surest transportation facility.
In our own country is presented one
of the worlds most attractive oppor-
tunities for extension of the sea
ways many hundred miles inland.
''The heart of the continent, with
its vast resources in both agricul-
ture and industry, would be brought
in communication with all the ocean
routes by the execution of the St.
Lawrence waterway project. To
enable ocean going vessels to have
access to all ports of the Great Lakes
would have most stimulating effect
upon the industrial life of the con-
tinent's interior.
The feasibility of the project is
anquestioned, and its cost, compared
with other great engineering works
would be small.
There certainly should not be
formidable obstacles to al achieve
ment giving promise of great advan-
tages to the peoples of North Amer
lea. Not only would the cost Of
transportation be greatly reduced,
but a vast population would be
brought overnight in immediate
touch with the markets Of the entire
world"
1t is well that Wisconsin has such
men as Lenroot and Nelson in Con-
aress to make the fight for this great
waterway. TIE present Indications
are that Senator Lenroo. of Wis
consin and Charles E. Townsend Of
Michigan will lead the fight in the
Senate for this nations official ap-
proval of the waterway scheme,
while Adolphus P. Nelson, Congress
man from this district of Wisconsin
and Theodore E. Burton of Ohio, will
lead the fight in the house.

SAYS THAT FEASIBILITY OF
PROJECT is UNQUESTIONED
Cost Would Be Small Consider
in Great Advantage to Coun-
try, Chief Executive Says.

WASHINGTON, D. C.--Reports are
current about Washington that
President Harding will address Con-
gress shortly strongly advocating
Legislation providing for the deep
ening of the ST. Lawrence river to
connect the Great Lakes with the
Atlantic ocean. 1t is said that the
report of the Commission which urges
that the American and Canadian
governments jointly undertake the
improvement, has the endorsement
of the President.
The President believes that tho
opening of this lane for ocean traffic
will prove an important aid to the
transportation facilities and bring .
great boom to the people of the mid
die west.

wherever you find your own agen-
cies of law and order inadequate to
meet the situation.
Your State government and the
Federal Government are Jointly re-
sponsible for maintained conditions
under which free men. willing to
work. may work in safety. We are
responsible for the production and
the transportation of fuel supply
ample for the necessities OF the
American people and the public util-
tiles which serve them. particularly
the railways engaged in interstate
commerce. We must have ample
coal to maintain industrial activity;
we must have the coal necessary to
the health, security and the activ-
ity of all the people. / recite to you
these details because it Is important
to have 1t understood how far the
Federal Government has gone in
seeking a voluntary adjustment.
Thus far there has been no chal-
lenge Of the right of workers to de-
cline employment or the right of the
employers to hire as they elect.
Our present duty Is to guarantee
security in the exercise of these
rights. security in all lawful opera
tions. and afford safe opportunity
for that production and distribu-
ton demanded by the necessities Of
the American people.
There has been no Government
assumption Of part in the dis
pute between organized workers and
organized employers. I did offer the
only available agency which 1 know
to effect a settlement, and these
good offices have not availed.
1t becomes necessary. therefore, in
the name Of common welfare, to
invite protection in the fulfillment
of that obligation which attaches
to an American industry engaged
In providing any public necessity
and to afford security to all men
alike who are ready and willing to
work and serve the common need.
No cause Is so important as that of
common welfare. and there must be
the suppression of every unlawful
hindrance to the service of that
cause. To the task of lawful pro-
lection and the maintenance of or
der the Federal Government pledges
to you every assistance at its COM
mand. WARREN G. HARDING.

The proposal of the Federal Gov
ernment to the United Mine Work
ers and the various operators whose
mines are under suspension to sub
NIT all questions in dispute to
national coat commission for arbi-
tration has been declined. The mine
workers declined as a body. The
majority of the bituminous opera
tors pledged unqualified acceptance.
The anthracite operators filed un-
conditional acceptance. A minority
Of the bituminous operators accepted
the principle Of arbitration but made
specifications which could not be
considered.
l had proposed that the operators
and mine workers in dispute should
Immediately resume coal production
under the wage scales and working
conditions which prevailed at the
time of the strike of last April 1:
that every question in dispute should
go to a national commission To be
composed of three representatives Of
the mine workers. three representa-
tives Of the operators and five repre-
sentatjves OF the American people.
1t was proposed to make the COM
mission the final authority on all
disputes until next March. and mean
while the commission was to inaugu-
rate a searching inquiry into every
phase of the coal industry in order
to recommend the way to maintain
understandings between workmen
and employers. to promote steady
employment and assure a continu-
oTs and ample fuel supply.
The failure to secure the ac-
ceptance of this proposal for vol
untary adjustment left me no other
course but to invite the mine opera
tors to return to their mines and
resume activities.
/ trust you will find 1t consistent
to second this invitation, if you have
not already done So with the invi-
tation to all miners and operators
to resume their work. This invita-
ton should be accompanied by such
assurance of maintained order and
the protection of lawful endeavor
as will give assurance to everybody
concerned. I want to convey to you
in this message the assurance of the
prompt and full support Of the Fed

roaring furnace.

Reports of improvement in the rail-
road situation to-day were offset by
the distinct feeling that the transpor-
tation problem is cntangled with the
coal crisis and the strong probability
of degree of sympathetic accord be-
tween the striking shopmen and the
union miners.
The possibility of cooperation be-

eral declared but whether II in in
