entry on Wednesday last. She was
the largest sailing craft ever seen
down this way.
"A worthy citizen surprised to
hear some doubts expressed about
the truth Of an incident he was re-
lating, trlumphantly squelched his
auditors by referring them to the
Superior TINES as his authority
Everybody in these parts swears by
the TINES.
"A travelling salesman for a
Boston clothing house informs us
that he took several heavy orders
for clothing at Bayfield,, La Pointe,
Duluth, etc. At Ashland all he sold
was box Of paper collars and a
pair OF garters, and he tn nks he
would not have sold these if the
purchasers had seen the new map
in the Press.
By the skillful use of little
paint an enterprising Duluthian is
enabled to get twenty-five cents a
piece for small behring's and other
fish which cost him ten cents a
dozen. He notifies them SO deity
that the Oldest settlers are ready 10
swear they are brook trout. Now
let us hear from Barnum and Con
necticut.
The Rev. Mr.. wainwright,
rector of st. Paul's (Episcopal)
church of Duluth, will hold services
at the Episcopal church in this place
on Sunday afternoon next, at $3.50
O'Clock, and regularly thereafter un-
til further notice at the same hour
on the second and fourth Sundays
of each month.
Town Assessors should not

which requires them to report to

hops, tobacco, cultivated grasses.
potatoes. roots, apples, cranberries.
timber, and estimated number OF
bushels of clover seed growing in

bered, only the seven products first

The delinquent tax list OF
Chicsg go occupies one hundred and
ninety pages, or eleven hundred
and eighty columns of the Inter
Ocean. The Chippewa list, as pub
lished in the Herald, made but four
pages, or thirty-three columns, and
everybody thought that was the
"boss" tax list. But gracious how
it sinks into utter insignifcance
when compared to that mammoth
one from the wicked city. -Four VS..
one hundred and ninety pages
How we envy that Inter Ocean!
The Sentinel says there are four
steam ferry boats on the line be-
tween the Landing and Fort Will
liam. Couldn't one of them be
spared for the route between here
and Duluth? Gentle breezes, grace
full sails and blithe oars may do very

soon get tired of them. A small
steam ferry boat, run with economy,
ought to make a good living on our
bays.
The Ashland Press prints a
map with winding isothermal line
placing Ashland in the climate of
Hartford, Oswego, Cleveland, De-
troit, Marquette, Portage Lake,
Winona, Sioux City and Pueblo,
where the line reaches the edge of
the map, but Judging by its course,
it would pass through Tucsin, the
