In last evenings Argos there appeared
list of members aud visitors in attend
ance at the Harper House, upon the an.
nual meeting of this company. To those
who are not aware of the objects it is prop

people in the Wisconsin and Minnesota
pineries who own logs and want to sell
them; there are large numbers of own
ers of saw mills from StLouis to st. Paul

first named classes apart and throwinq
hindrances in the way of running logs tc
the mills along down the river. The two
classes first named therefore formed thi.
association. the object being to aid each
other, remove obstructions to the running
of logs, procuring the passage Of laws facil
itating the running of logs and Furnishing
those who place obstructiuns in the rivers,
ETC., etc. A large amount of important
business has been transacted at this meet
ing, and reports show that the association
is in very prosperous condition, and that
much has been done to open up the run
ming of logs, especially from the Chippewa
river The business of the association is
very heavy, and is principally in charge
of Mr.. Fred Weyerhauser, of this city, a
gentleman of first class business qualities
and in whom everybody places unlimited
confidence. The company decided to put
the usual amount of logs into the market
this season.
An election was held with the following

The Union suppressed portion of the
proceedings of the board of supervisors.
The county clerk furnished the Iaion copy
OF the yeas and nays on three questions,
viz: the question of adopting the report
OF the grand jury in relation to the Jail and
Jail yard the question of allowing the bill
OF Copp Brothers and the question of Ii
censing Adam Schmidt. Why did the
Union suppress this information? Was it
at the instance of some of its friends who
are tender footed on these questions I?
And having suppressed a portion Of the

pay for publishing the proceedings? The
board of supervisors should inquire into
this matter at the next session.
