ASHLAND ORE DOCK
SWEPT BY FIRE
Damage Estimated at More Than
Million Dollars; Superior and
Ironwood Send Help. y

Fire that started Wednesday
afternoon and ragged for several
hours before being subdued did
damage of more than million
dollars to the ore dock of the Chicago
& Northwestern at Ashland. Des-
truction of the entire dock was
averted by the timely arrival of fire
fighting apparatus and men from
outside. The Ironwood fire de-
partment responded to the call for
assistance with truck, hose and
men. The trip to Ashland was
made by special train. The Superior
department sent a motor fire truck
and crew of men. The Superior
outfit arrived at Ashland shortly
after six o'clock. A few hours
later the fire was under control.
The fire was first discovered about
15a feet from the end of the dock
and within short time spread
rapidly, the wooden ore pockets be
ing dry as finder. A crew was at
work making repairs to the dock,
and, while the origin of the fire has
not been definitely determined, it
is believed to have started from an
aeetylene torch that was being used
to melt steel plates in the pockets.
All the fire fighting equipment in
Ashland was sent to the scene, in
Guiding a motor truck with booster
pump, but despite the efforts of the
Ashland firemen, together with
hundreds of citizens who volunteer
ed, the fire gained Roadway. Calls
for assistance were then sent to
Superior and Ironwood. The work
of the firemen was hampered by the
severe weather, the thermometer
registering 20 below zero.
The ore dock was a wood structure
1900 feet long. It had 256 ore
pockets, only rs Of which We're
saved
Press dispatches announced that
the Northwestern officials have
decided to Immediately rebuild the
structure.

MORE GRAVEL FOR
HIGHWAY TEN
Contract Let For travelling Near
Iron County Line; New Steel
Bridge at Odanah.

A contract was let Friday to
Stanley McDae, of Birch, for finish
ing the gravelling on Route 10 on a
stretch of about Pa miles near
Birch, says the Ashland Press.
The gravelling is to be finished by
May /, which will mean that the en-
tire length of Route 10 from the Iron
county line through Odanah and
Ashland to the Bayfield, county line
on the Longbridge road will be COM
pletely gravelled by this time.
The Telsted Construction company
of Eau Claire has the contract to
build the new federal bridge at
Odanah, which is also scheduled to
be finished by May /.
With the completion of the new
bridge, Route 10 will go straight
through Odanah instead of lodging
around the present rickety structure.
The cost of the bridge will be in the
neighborhood Of $4,000.
The Goodman Construction COM
pany, of Hurley, finished its con-
tract for gravelling on Route 10 on
New Years Day, so when the work
is finished which Mr.. McDae is do
ing near Birch, the entire length of
Route 10 in Ashland county will be
in perfect condition for automobile
traffic next spring.
The work of grading, gravelling
and draining all of Route 10 from
the Iron county line to the Bayfield,
county line will thus have been COM
pleted in the three years up to next
May /.

PLANS FOR STILL GREATER
TOURIST TRAFFIC
Wisconsin, The Land o. Lakes, Inc,
Preparing to Advertise Wisconsin
More Thoroughly Than Ever.

The 1928 traffic survey recently
prepared by the Highway Commits
sion shows there were more out-of-
state automobiles in Wisconsin dur
ing the past summer than in any
previous year. Practically every
county in the state enjoyed an in
crease in traffic, ranging from 49o
to 400@c over the same period in
1922.
1t is estimated that 100000 peo-
pie vacationed in Wisconsin last
season and spent 100000, 900 1t
is predicted that this number will be
largely increased each year.
The advertising of our summer
attractions as carried on by the
Wisconsin, The Land O. Lakes, Inc,
is proving conclusively the value of
this work and it has placed Wis
consin among the nations leading
summer playground sections of the
country.
"The tourist industry, which is
just in its infancy, exceeds in value
many of our states older established
industries" said E. o. Barstow,
secretary of the Wisconsin, The
Land o. Lakes, Inc, land within a
very few years will equal our leading
industries. Not only is this publicity
bringing investments in our lake
shore property, our industries, our
farm lands, dairy interests and the
many other opportunities we have
to offer. 1t is creating a ready
market for the farmer, the dairyman
and the truck gardener. Merchants
who have experienced a slump in
business during July and August
report these months were their best
months last year"
eve have only begun to let the
world know what we have to offer
and rs this is bl oadcasted each year,
the travel will grow and will event
ually prove the greatest means of
development the state has ever
known"
Plans for making the coming sea-
son still greater than it was last
year, when it was by far the greatest
in the history of the State, are now
being made by the Wisconsin, The
Land o. Lakes, Inc, and if success
fully carried out, Wisconsin will be
advertised as it has never been be-

Substantial Increase in Individual
Income Surtax.

Individual income sur
taxes levied in 1928 and collectable
in 1924, total $s40,704, according
TO assessments announced today by
the state tax commission. This is

according to commission officials.
The educational surfaces levied
last year which will be collected this
year total SAGA, 42374, the report
shows, compared with $0349, 999.92
collected last year. This is an in
crease of 34.S per cent.
Teachers retirement fund sur
taxes for the year total $349, 2S1 So,
~ompared with 1886, 383.31, an in
rease Of 1919 per cent.
Increase in personal incomes dur
ing 1922 is declared by officials to
be the cause Of the increase in sur

Fur Bearing Animals Need Be on
Lookout.


Wisconsin's fur bearing animals
must tread carefully these days to
continue their existence because
there are 674,O00 traps lying in wait
for them in the woods and marshes
of the state.
The figures is the first total for a
year ever counted by the state con-
servation commission and became
available because of the action of
the legislature last session in re-
curing that each trap be affixed
with a metal tag to be bought from
the conservation commission.
There are a total of 10000 trap
pers licensed in the state. A trapper
must pay a license fee of one dollar
and then pays five cents for each
trap tag.
The trap tag provision has Melted
the state about s33,7O0 in additional

Use of Explosives in Land Clearin
Gaining Rapidly.

Gaining Rapidly.
The use of explosives in land
clearing has increased in the past
five years from a few hundred
thousand pounds up to the present
consumption of between three and
four million pounds a year in
Wisconsin, according to John
Swenehart and w. A Rowlands in a
treatise for the Wisconsin extension
division of the university.
"The methods and materials
originally used in blasting stumps
were largely adopted from mining
practices" the men assert. "Many
good blasters were recruited from
among the miners who settled upon
cut-over tracts. But many practices
were introduced in this way which,
while not necessarily dangerous
when done by experienced men, were
dangerous when done by beginners. +"
''For a long time it was thought
that high grade, quick acting expen-
sive dynamites were necessary for
stump blasting. During the last
few years it has been proven that
low grade, less expensive dynamite
will do the word equally as well.
Due to the slow heaying action
rather than a quick SCATTERING
action, even better work often can be
done with the low grade dynamites. +"
