The Central on it's Feet Again.

We clip the following from the
Ashland Press, of Sept. %. We
congratulate our neighbors on their
bright prospects;
Letters received by Mondays
mail, announce that orders have
been issued at headquarters for the
commencement OF work on the
grand Central Railroad between
section "l0l" and Penoka, and that
during the coming fall and winter
the work of clearing the right of
way and building bridges will be
prosecuted with all dispatch. This
movement, while it Will not imme-
diately benefit Ashland, revives
the hopes of our people and renews
confidence in the Company and in
the ultimate success OF the great
enterprise upon which SO much OF
CIV fn ture welfare, and development
depends. We understand that .h o
we'll knowu firm of Livingston q
Bohrer, of this village, are to do
the job, which nsures good and
thorough work. Mr.. Livingston
who has been at work during the
past summer on the Canada Pacific
Railroad, building bridges, isexpect
ed home in a few days. He will
Immediately repair to headquarters
at Milwaukee for orders.
During the coming winter the
fitty-five mile gap between Penoka
and the northern terminus ofthe road
will be the scene of livel y opera
tions, and we expect to see a well
travelled route from this place south
opened up. By next spring Ash
land will feel the influence Of the
roads construction, and by fall or
early winter, the iron horse will ar

The Ashland Lumber Company

We are glad to state that bust
ness of every description on the
South Shore has a bright aspect.
There is a long cold winter
ahead, and yet the times are so
hard that the Ashland bachelors
can't afford to get married.

The Central r. E.,

From the Wisconsin Portage State Register.
Col. BausenweIn, of the Central
r. r.. was in the city last evening.
He brought letters from Mr.. Colby
stating that contracts for grading
the road between Portage and Ste
vens Point had been let, and that
work would commence the very
moment the local aid asked of POr-
taGe had been secured. The con
tracts are all conditional on the aid
being granted. SO if Portage
should close up this matter to-mor-
row, work will commence Monday
which would be glorious news
for our thriving city.
The petitions for aiding the Cen
trial company to the amount of sl5,-
900 were put in circulation on
Tue sday last, but owing to the con-
fusion incident to county fair but
little progress has been made in OBJ
tanning signatures up to this time
Now that the fair is over the work
will be Immediately undertaken by
the gentlemen having it in charge.
The list in the hands of Mr.. D. a..
Goodyear is quite numerously sign
ed, and he finds but little OPPOSE
ton to the project. Indeed, he
informs us that number of promi-
nent men have come forward and
signed the petition who have
heretofore uniformity withheld their
support and opposed all subsidies of
this nature. The required number
OF signatures will no doubt be ob-
tanned in short time.

We have heard but one ex-
preston OF opinion from our Pres
byterian friends in regard to their
new minister, Rev. DR.. Rice, and
that is, that they are highly de-
lighted with him. This, we felt con-
fident, would be the case, and we
are equally confident that the more
they hear him and the better they
become acquainted with him, the
better they will like him.
How SAM FIFIELD LOST A Bet
We are inclined to think that Sam
Fifield's enthusiasm as to the time
of the completion of the Wisconsin
Central road recently led him to
make bet with a Duluth man,
which he (Sam) will be very sure to
lose. w e are informed that, on the
first day of August, Sam was up
here, and that he on that day made
q bet of two dozen bottles of wine
with Frank Burke, that in eight
months from that time, Frank could
take boat at Duluth, proceed to
Ashland, and 90 through to Mil
waukee by rail. Frank thinks that
he is pretty sure to win the wine
whether the road is completed by
that time or not, for the reason that
eight months from August first will
carry us to the first Of April next,
at which time, no boats will be run
ming; for the good and sufficient
reason that the lake will be covered
with ice from two to four feet thick I,
Brother Fifeld may as well lay in
that wine.

1t appears that the La Crosse
vocal society is determined to have
