Orders Abandonment of NP Railroad Branch in Wisconsin
The Interstate Commerce Commission orders the Northern Pacific Railroad to abandon the Iron River to Washburn branch in Bayfield county and to maintain the Cody to Iron River segment for a nine mile span while monitoring expenses and revenues. A hearing in November preceded the Washington decision, reflecting long local ties and substantial county and city support and investment in the line since 1897.

Boss La Follette Bosses Wisconsin In 1922 Primary Controversy
The Wisconsin State Journal editorial laments a secret March 3 1922 meeting at the state capitol where Senator La Follette and aides allegedly selected seven candidates for governor attorney general and secretary of state. It argues the primary now serves bosses who control nominations and questions the public's voice in choosing officials. The piece contrasts past caucus power with modern secret “nominating bee” practices and warns of continued boss rule.

Odd Job Journey From Boston To Drummond On Foot
Edward Galliso walked from Boston to Drummond Wisconsin to visit his brother and sustain himself by taking any odd job found along the way. He left with no money for transport and faced a steady stream of small tasks as funds ran low.

Mrs Andrew Hall and her son from Duluth are visiting in the city with Mrs Hall's parents, Mr and Mrs John Reiten.
