certificates held by the county at

age of Iron River, and it was
contended that it belonged to
that town, AH of the west half

of Drummond and added to the
town of Cable, all of 43 9 was de -
tached from the town of Drum

Washburn, City J. N. Kinney,
Captain Doherty of the Steamer
Mary Scott, made a move this week
which we beiieve will be greaty
appreciated by the traveling public
between Washburn and 5 Ashland.
Not being content with getting his
boat fitted out in first class shape
throughout, including anew sixty
light dynamo and engine and more
electric lights, and a fine new Cable
piano, which is to be used for the
comfort and entertainment of pas
sengers; he has gone down into his
•pocket and without any outside as
sistance has had a neat waiting
room erected at the city dock in
this city, for the accomodation of
passengers. The captain is as en
| terprisiog as he is popular, and he
| will undoubtedly receive a larger
share of patronage this season then
ever before. Those who travel be
tween this city and Ashland on the
boat, we are sure feel grateful to
Captain Doherty.

town of Port Wing. The Board
recommended that the Tax com
mission compromise a certain
personal property tax against
the Moore Kepple Cos. a co-part
nership amounting to over SI7OO
on a basis of 50 per cent of the
faces of the tax, provided that
the company make application
for such compromise. In case
of no application being made
therefor, the District Attorney
was directed to begin action for
the collection of same. The
members of this co-partnership
all live in Pennsylvania, and it is
a difficult matter to enforce pay
ment of the tax. If the matter is
adjusted the difference between
the tax and amount of com
promise will be charged back to
the town of Port Wing.
The District Attorney was al
so authorized to adjust a tax
against the Lee Estate at Iron
River, The tax returned amount
ing to something over $2500.00.
The administrator offering to pay
SIOOO.OO. Tt was found upon in
vestigation that the original tax
could not be collected.
The salary oi the Supervisor
of Assessment was fixed at $4.00
per day and the number of days
limited to 125, for ihe remainder
of the term.
County Superintendent Miss
Smith was allowed $50.00 for ex
tra office help in connection with
the preparation of records of
books contained in the school
libraries in the county, and for
the purchase of record books.

suing year.
Held a special
A special meeting of the city
conncil was held Monday evening
for the pupose of taking up the*
matter of the salaries of the
different city officers and other
other important business.
The salaries most in question
were those of clerk and attorney
and after a good deal of discus
sion were left the same as the
pas two years.
An ordinance prohibiting all
instrumental music in saloons
was read and upon motion pass
ed as its second reading to go in
to effect immediately after its
passage and publication.
An ordinance for the levy and
collection of a poll tax in the city
of Washburn was presented and
occupied considerable time of
the conncil but was finally passed
as its second reading, This tax
takes in all males in the city of
Washburn between the ages of
twenty-one and fifty, with cer
tain exceptions. It will be the
duty of the street commissioner
of the city to make the collection
of the tax, and we are of the
opinion that he will have a hard
job of it.
A few other minor matters
were taken up after which the
council adjourned.

Three Fires Friday.
Last Friday was a busy day
for fire fighters. In the morning
a chimney was blown down at
the residence of Joe Pallage west
Fourth street. This started a
small blaze, but was soon extin
guished. About noon fire was
discovered near the Kenfield &
Lamoreaux Box factory, which
threatened to become serious.
This too was put out without
causing any serious loss. About
nine o’clock in the evening fire
was discovered in the rear end
of G. I. Carson’s grocery store.'
The fire companies were soon on
the scene and had the flames un
der control, not however before
a great amount of the merchan
dise had been damaged by smoke
and water. It was fortunate
that there was no wind at the
time, had there been, it is doubt
ful whether a building on the
west end of the block v ould be
standing today. The origin of
the fire ' uaknowu. Mr Car

the Peterson & Hanson building
one;door east, and is again doing
business.
