Local notes from Washburn and surrounding towns
Local items report illness and recoveries, arrivals and departures, jobs, and social events across Washburn, Bayfield, Ashland, and river areas. Notables include Sheriff-elect Lien visiting River Falls, marriages planned in Washburn, smallpox cases, timber and logging activity, and a growing demand for new housing with many residents moving or traveling.
Latin Quarter Business Hub Comes to Washburn
The so called Latin Quarter of the town becomes a business district with Wisconsin Telephone offices on the third floor. The piece notes local residents and praises the telephone company’s investments in Washburn. It also recounts Henry H. Rogers rising from a New Bedford newsboy to head the Anaconda Copper Mining Company and his wealth. The Times announces a four page extra to aid merchants during holidays and lists local departures for California.
