J, N. Brundage, the founder Of this
paper, and for many years its editor
and proprietor, has been appointed
special Agent Cor the Northwestern
Mutual Life Insurance Co. for North,
west Missouri.
Mr.. Brnndagc has a host Of friends
among Wisconsin and Illinois pco-
t!e. and among the members Of the
press Jack counts 'em all. We
congratulate the " Northwestern " i'll
procuring the services of so able aud
efficient nm aecu, as Mr. i. will Prove
himself in the snperIndency Of It's

We congratulate Jack " in being so
fortunate a. to get IN " with so

will naturally have the well wishes Of
the press ia Wisconsin.
The Northwestern ia purely mutu
al, is managed with the str,c,est
economy and great sagaclty, and It's
assets are now about 81, 900, 900.
Its high reserve fund, tie high rate
of interest received upon its invest
ments, aud its low rata Of mortality,
commend it to the patronage OF the
public az one of the best, # not the

1he L,tDtber Prospects,

II has been currently reported thu,
there has been vast amount OF lnm-
Der laying above awaiting the spring
water. TITS amount has been put al
from 100, 100000 to l25 900, 900 feet.
The facts sre that mp to this date there
has come over the Grand Rapids,
(and all lumber must come ria these
watersl only about 28, 900, 600 feet,
wi,h only FIVE or sever million more
to arrive. These figures arc correct
AZ Mr. Crosby can attest who collects
all tolls for the Improvement Com
panv.
The amount which can possibly be
run out this spring as compared with
last spring is AZ .toHr to ten, and this
too with no prospect of logs as all the
streams are so low that all hope OF
getting them away has died out. It
will thus be seen that there will he q
deayth Of lumber f rom the Wisconsin
pineries. Another fact, the lumber
manufactured at this point was not
included in last wears aggregate, this
springs estimate includes all TINS far
run from all points above and below
