THE SUPERIOR TINES.
SATURDAY, FEBRUARY II, 1872.

CHICKEN feed of all kinds at GEO NJ SMIrns
CART Charles NJ Davis of steamer Cuyahoga was
in Superior last Monday.
HAVE we Tammany ring of grUmblers in Superior,
and is it duty to ssbust7 it?
Why arc the roads SO unusually good this winter
Because of unusual travel by railroad and teams.
SOMETIMES reticence binders success, There is
power in letting certain things be known. The wise
will understand.
ONE railroad viii make the fortune of Superior, and
yet to have four half dozen by the spring
of 1874. Nothing surer in the Northwest
INFORMATION comes to us direct from Washington
that gives sufficient to believe the St Croix
renewal is assured Superior's future is
everywhere brilliant,
r. G. CoBURN Esq. and son arrived from Bayfield,
last Thursday night with three loads of fresh fish,
ssting of siskowit trout and whteish. They are de-

READ the items Of progress on our railway given
this week. We shall soon have great deal more to
say. Railway work all winter, and early compile
ton of the road will lift Superior to the proud prom
nence she deserves.
We wish to say to the gentlemen known as the
&c old propretors that is their chance do big
thing fol themselves. The citizens and railroad men
of this place wish you to act promptly prepare to
be left out in the cold We mean it.
THE Bayfield, Press is good local paper and is go
ing to do well in the fast coming future of Northern
Wisconsin. Wen spar with Hank whenever we
please. It's all in the family. But we'll join him to
thrash outsiders and nterlopers at any time.
RATHER good for the State Line Railroad: the fact
that the Duluth Tribune Publishes intelligence which
it declares be rather bad for the State Line Rail
road" The riddle in Mitchell's statements is very
easily solved, when you get used to it. The clue
is simply this let the reader understand the matter
in a sense directly contrary to the literal import of
the Tri5unes language.
DISBURSEMENTS on account of labor and material for
January have been made this week. by the Superior
g. st. Croix II. r. Company. The large amount Of
money thus brought into circulation from month to
month will make financial matters at Superior ex-
tremely easy from this time on. Probably section
of the West will witness great activity in railroad
construction as will Northern Wisconsin during the
next three years.
THERE were various rumors ahoat in the city rela-
tive to the State Line Railroad project being knocked
hot Int M trann thpU1 any
foundation. On the other hand, Captain Starkey
advcrtises in this mornings Daily Herald for 800
10 work on this much-fussedover raiway.-Duiaht
Herald
Any sure foundation for such rumors is lacking Of
course, as the Herald man sensbly acknowledges.
The Trib,ne's perfectly reliable source" comes in
here, heavy the Ill"
THE WISCONSIN CENTRAL r. Rive were gratifed
TO meet Engineer Donovan, and Mr.. Staughton, the
contractor for the construction of 80 miles of the
above road running from Ashland to the iron range.
These gentlemen with Others of the party left here
Monday morning with teams for Ashland 1t is the
intention to haul supplies from this place, and com
mencc work at We congratulate them on the
prospect, and hope to the road extended to supe
Iior in a very short time.
TIE Duluth Tribune gets off its monthly hash about
The complete teetotal and irremedia failure of our
railroads The Hianesotiau and Herald act much
more sensibly in reference to this particular matter
The trouble is that the SuperiorDuluh Tribune has
special reasons for hoping and wishing there may
er be railroad here The reputation of the Trj1oc
as prophet is at stake in the result But it's use
Talking il that particular vein against Superior is
played There will be railroad here sure as fate
and the Tribune will have to eat lots Of humble pie
and see it's grandfather"
DEATH BY ExposURE-We have to record a sad death
that took place on the Bayfield, road between Iron
rivey aud Pine Lake station last Tuesday. \ young
man uamed Henry i. Sweet left here Oh Monday 18th
inst for BAYFIELD, intending to go from there to Ash
land on business for S. s Vaughn the team which
was to take him through disabled from some
cause as TO induce the owner Charles Fregeau to &c
no further than the Brue river, so miles. Mr.. Swee;
aud man named Thompson concluded to walk through
from that point But meeting the Bayfield, stage
miles beloy the Brule Sweet who seems to have felt
illness coming on asked to be taken back to Superior
The driver declined the ground that the stage was
heavily loaded already He took Sweets valise how
ever back to the Brule. The unfortunate man contin
ued his journey stopping to rest several times before
reaching Iron river He began to feel somewhat bet
ter the time that point was reached and still con
tnued on Travelling miles further however with
great difficulty and pain, he gave out entirely, and
sent his companion Thompson, to Pine Lake Sta
son for help This help did not arrive owing as al
leged to stormy night and bad roads 1t oaght to
have been ATTEMPTED at all hazards The feless body
of moor Sweet was found day about threeourths
Of a mile ia advance Of the spot where he had been
left He had left bis blankets and attempted evident
