The high trestle bridge on the
St. Paul & Duluth railroad over the
first ravine west of Fondulac is be-
ing rebuilt, the Duluth Tribune says
by the St. P. & d. and n. p. roads
jointly. The timber is being sawed
out by Peyton s. Co, and framed on
the outside dock at Duluth. This is
probably beginning of the restor-
alton of all the high bridges be-
tween Fondulac and Thomson.
The auditor and treasurer of
st. Louis County Mimi, inform us
that of the tax of $4,000 for 1877
they collected in the last three
months $4,000; and collected Of
delinquent taxes in the same time
$26,5Oo, IN all $4,000, a pretty
good showing for our neighbors
over the bay, especially in a time
like the present.
For some reason the Duluth
Minnesotian-Herald, now simply the
Herald, under it's new managers
failed to reach us until this week.
1t is real live, well edited, high
toned journal, with dash and spice
that never fails to captivate the
reader. The paper reflects credit
upon even as old quill-captain as
Judge Parker. We wish it abund-
ant success.
Coles mammoth circus which
exhibited in Duluth on Wednesday
was the great event of the year.
The show was very good one,
coming fully up to the advertise
ments, and gave general satisfac-
ton. The big man and woman
were there, also the wild animals,
the street pageant, and everything
as promised. Duluth was crowd
ed with people, all out as if for a
holiday. 1t is estimated that fully
1900 people attended the show in
the afternoon and evening,
The Polk County Press proud
ly stepped into its nineteenth year a
few days ago, enlarged to Z
column quarto, 56 columns of mat
ter, the largest paper in Wisconsin.
While we are willing to accord to
Brother Mears, the editor, The
greatest Of credit for MS enterprise,
we can't help saying his paperls now
too large, has too much matter in it;
life is too short, and good people
can't afford to be three fourths OF
their time reading the Polk County
Press.
Father Genin while in Sitting
Bulls camp did not forget the ed
itor of the SUPERIOR TIMES. He
brought us from the stronghold of
that celebrated chief a very interest
ing trophy, in the shape of a stone
battle-axe. The implement may be
described as an oval shaped granite
boulder, about 2 inches in d.
ameter and about inches long.
worn or ground to point at each
end. 1t is bound to a wooden han
die some 3 feet long by strip of
rawhide which also covers the en-
tire handle, and to the end of the
handle is attached a buffalo hair
tassel about two feet long. The
weapon in savage hands must be a
very formidable one, and capable
of doing great execution. Father
Genin tells us that such battle-axes
are largely used by the Indians,
and that they played an important
part in the humiliation of the gal
liant Custer and his heroic soldiers.
We prize the trophy very highly,
and thank the doner most kindly
for his remembrance of us.
