ON THE WING.
Nov. Dist. 1879,


The young, beautiful and growing state
of Wisconsin-city and country-was
never more prosperous than to-day
"hard times come no more"
The advance in iron and lumber, has
giver new impulse to all the wheels of
industry. Every man finds remunerative
employment. Manufacturing companies
are charging their facilities and yet have
more orders than they can fill. Saw
mills, grist mills, warehouses, elevators,
&C., are multiplying, still the capacity is
not equal to the demand. There are
thousands of new freight cars, but the
grain accumulates. Every hamlet and
railroad station is enlivened. BriIlion
shows some twenty new buildings, among
them fine residence for Geo. M. Beach,
Esq, who has just received his commits
sion as postmaster, said to be entirely
unexpected. Chas. Tesch manages the
Office to general satisfaction Business
is brisk-some sharp practice. One
dealer selling kerosene at Sc per gallon,
another, through accomphces, became
his leading customer, but the big can
came too often and the plot was discover.

good job for 1880. From the county
line, road is opened 20 miles east, and
mostly turnpiked-a very important inn

are arriving daily and those longest in
the region, like it best. Said one:

Surveyors are running railroad line
from Chippewa Fails to Colby, 60 miles.
This is in the line Of the proposed Trunk
road from Minnesota to the Atlantic
coast, and why not by Manitowoc with
its splendid harbor and only 81 miles of
ferriage. Look well to this question.
Railroading is now almost a mania.
Many are Fastening to the pineries-
wages $40 to $35 per month. The Wis.
Central, is doing thrifty and increasing
business. The Lake Superior train, now
stops for breakfast at Amherst Junction
instead of West Menasha, and such a
breakfast No bill Of fare, but the table
loaded with meats, vegetables and pas
try, buck wheat cakes, sponge cake, fruit
cake, &c. Wonder, if the good landlord
expected we would ever want another
meal2 These elaborate refreshments,
only 40c. When I am hungry, shall
think of Amherst Junction. Surely,
Wisconsin is land of plenty. Cries of
starvation have often come from the
prairies of Kansas but seldom from the
forests of Wisconsin. The settler, in the
timber, always finds food and shelter.
Every half section of forest will be want
ed, at no distant day. Milwaukee is ex-
tending her borders-the outskirts of 10
years ago are now densely populated, its
advantages and attractions are great-if I
could not live in Rockford, would like
to live in Milwaukee.

DROWNED,

Hugh McGovern of this city. frs.
mate Of the schooner Imperial Yves
drowned on Thursday last near Beaver
Island. The schooner had taken on q
load of lumber at Black river near the
straits. During the storm Of Wednes-
day and Thursday she lay at anchor
near Fox Island. After the storm had
moderated they proceeded on their way.
In hosting the jib one of the ropes be-
came foul and McGovern went forward
to disengage it. While standing ON the
fore castle deck the schooner lurched
and he was thrown overheard falling in
front of the vessel. 1t is believed that
he passed under the vessel. He rose
behind the vessel nothing but his arms
appearing above the surface. The boat
at the stern was cut loose but too late to
reach him. He was never seen again.
He leaves wife and large family in
rather poor circumstances, IS they de-
pended solely on him for living.

ASSESSING.

Since the decision of the supreme
court on the llegaGty of taxes based
upon fraudulent assessments, the de
mand of intelligent people has been fol
fair equable assessment and this has
been secured in number Of the towns.
But In some towns the law is defed and
assessors violate their oath of Office to
please the people. The personal pro-
perty represented by gold and silver
watches does not amount to a great deal;
but the entire omission of this species of
property on the lists, the law making
their listing obligatory is an evidence of
careless or fraudulent assessment In
other items which more affect the rate of
taxation. Supervisor White is deserving
of credit for his efforts to secure an ass
essment which will be legal and which
will do justice to all. He sees that ap-
peals to assessors are of little value, and
that they will act according to law only
when confronted with the alternative
which the law prescribes for neglect
Of duty. Assessors cannot plead ignor-
ance now, to excuse unjust assessments.
The district attorney, the board Of
supervisors, the local papers and the
courts have repeatedly given informa-
ton on the matters and have shown the
consequences both to the assessor and to
the town of not making an assessment in
conformity with law.
A resolution was introduced at this
session of the board instructing the dis
trict!attorney to prosecute all assessors
who failed to list gold and silver watches.
The resolution was lost by one Uote. It
is to be regretted it did not pass. These
assessors knowingly and willfully omit
ted this property, and this gives color to
the belief that other omissions were
made which are less apparent though
more important.
The board did adopt resolution in
structing the district attorney to prose-
cute the assessor of Manitowoc Rapids
for negIecting to assess personal proper
ty of that town at its full value. The
supervisors found fuller evidence of
failure to assess at full value in this
town than in others and hence this was
made test case. The assessor of this
town is not more culpable than others,
but his neglect was more palpable. He
is not singled out for punishment but
was taken as one of class. While every
one regrets the necessity of prosecuting
but one, still no one can question the
justice of the step. If it will have the
effect of making assessors more careful
the people will be greatly benefited, and
hereafter disposition on the part of the
candidate at the spring election to assess
low Will no. add to his popularity. Ev-
cry one must approve of the step taken.
