The Omaha railway company

which are being filled in with
sand and gaavel. They are also
taking out the wooden culverts
and putting in stone work. A
special train is kept busy haul

Map of State on Car.
Wisconsin Will Be Well Advertis
ed on Grassland. Now Fit
ting Out for a Trip.
A novelty in the exterior equip
ment of the ‘‘Grassland,” the North
Wisconsin Farmers’ association car,
has been planned by Secretary Fair
all, which all who have had it ex
plained to them expect to prove a
very valuable feature,
A map of North Wisconsin seven
by 15 leet will be placed at one end
on each side ot the car. This map
will not only be in colors, gotten up
in attractive style, but will give a
great many statistics as to the in
dustrial eonditijos, business, popu
! lation and other points valuable in
| turning the attention of settlers to
j this section.
As far east as the Michigan penin
sula and as far west as the iron
i ranges of Minnesota will be show n
j outside of the state. The whole of
the 15 counties in the association
will be shown in detail with all the
towns, creameries, railroads, big
industries and other features indi
cated,
The “Grassland” is now here fit
ting up for the next tour which will
start about Occ. I. The tour will
probably be through southern Wis
consin, Illinois, Indiana and possi
blv Ohio, anew field.
No difficulty has been experienced
in the move to raise about $1,200 ex
tra for the transportation of the car
which will have to be paid for as a
result of the new rate law. Inas
much as the car will thus be “taken
out of the mendicant class,” as Sec
retary Fairall puts it, by paying in
stead of asking for free hauling,
better time can be made and the
| territory covered better.
By this time President Palma has
probably made up his mind that he
will have no third term in his,

WASHBURN, WISCONSIN, THURSDAY, SEPTEMBER 27, 1906.
OUR COUNTY FAIR.
To be Held at Iron River First of
Next Week.
Promises to be one of the
best in the history of
Bayfield County.
The Bayfield county fair will
be held at Iron River October
2d, 3d, and 4th, and indications
are that it will be one of the best
in the history of the county.
More interest is being taken in
the matter this year than ever
before and the exhibits will be
larger and better. A number of
fast horses will compete for the
various prizes, and this depart
ment promises to be exceeding
ly interesting. The citizens of
Washburn ought to take an in
terest in this annual fair, and
should show by their attendance
that they are anxious to make it
a success. Let all who possibly
can, attend the fair this year.
You citizens who are tax payers
have helped the fair this year,
and for that reason you ought to
feel interested.
In a recent issue the Iron
River Pioneer has the following
to say:
President Hobbs and Secre
tary Morris, of the Bayfield
County Fair Association, have
already received assurances
which justify them in announcing
that as fine a string of horses
will be here to the fair as were
ever gotten together in race
meet in this part of the north
west.
The Bayfield County Fair
dates are Oct. 2 3-4, following
the Ashland meet. Practically
all the horses of the Northern
Wisconsin and Michigan racing
circuit will be here, as well as a
number from Northern Minne
sota. After taking in the races
here the horses will be shipped
to Hibbing, as the races up there
occur on the following week.
In former years some difficul
ty was experienced in getting
horses, but this year it seems to
be quite different, and there is
no donbt but there will be at
least a dozen here Fair week.
Tbe Iron River track is pro
nounced by horsemen as being
the best half mill track in the
circuit. The management of the
fair however, are not entirely
satisfied and will make some re
pairs with a view of making it
better still.
The premium list, now out. of
fers $2500 for exhibits and trials
of speed. It has been material
ly enlarged this year to keep pace
with the advance in agriculture.
Nearly every department has
come in for more premiums, the
department of horticulture parti
cular coming in for a marked
enlargement. With the increase
in premiums offered will natural
ly come an increase in the ex
pence to meet them. The fair
management has received assur
ances of substantial support
from local business men. They
figure they will need at least S3OO
more to feel safe and they should
have -no trouble in gathering up
that much from among the
friends of tbe fair.
