a LITTLE fleet of sailing craft play around
the bay during the beautiful twilight hours.
WEATHER most of the week, has been
such as only Lake Superior knows, that is
to say, beautiful in the extreme.
STEAM dredge Montana requiring some
repairs, was hauled off part of the week,
but is again at work OH the Harbor I'M
provement to-day.
We propose some time to enunerate and
describe the various articles-ornamental
and useful-manufacture by the Indians in
this vicinity, for merchant Zachau.
Gen Sam Hartman of Somerset, Wis,
the very efficient State Agent for Railroad
lands is on a visit to this place attending
10 the interests Of Wisconsin in such mat
1ers.
SLACK water navigation is contemplated
on the Red river. a company has recently
been organized at Fergus Falls, which has
for It's object the furtherance Of such an
Improvement. The capital Of the company
is said to be half million dollars.
The Wisconsin Editorial excursion party
are expected to reach Duluth, on their re-
turn from Ashland, some time tomorrow
Our citizens have arranged to charter the
steamer Metropolis to bring them to Supe
ror, and we hope to have the pleasure Ola
visit from The Knights OF the Quill, to-mor-
row or next day.
For The sake OF. comparison with former
and future seasons, we put on record the
fact that the last fragment of floating ice in
the Lake, disappeared from sight on the
18th of this month. We hope and believe
it will be long before so extraordinary a
cold season as the past winter and spring
has been throughout the whole country, will
be experienced again.
Our citizens have felt very much pleased
over the encouraging reports from the St.
Croix land grant that have reached us with
in few days With Northern Pacific
work soon to commence, and bevy OF
roads from the south approaching this place
year by year, Superior can afford to feel
that there is good time coming, and no
mistake.
THE little steam ferry Minnie v, was
found sunk in five foot water, at her accus
toned place near the factory, on Thursday
morning. She was promptly raised, and
proceeded on her trips as usual, many of
our citizens not hearing of the affair till
next day On examination, it was discov-
cred that some person had deliberately
bored number Of augur holes through the
hull. OF course such deed is universally
condemned by this community.
SEE what very little work will do. A
Port Byron, n. Y. firm of manufacturers Of
agricultural implements are now seeking to
establish themselves in st. Paul 1t came
about by letter OF two from the Secretary
of the St Paul Chamber of Commerce. A
wise city that has an organization, which
in itself and its members, feels it a duty to
seek manufacturing enterprises, instead of
waiting to be sought. That is precisely
the kind Of energy that builds up cities.
Railroads may run around St. Paul, and
the Mississippi run dry, bat if she becomes
a great manufacturing city, the people will
tird their way there at their own expense.
