Prof. L. H. Warner, OF Ripon
Wis. has been engaged as principal
of the schools in the lowertown dis
trict of Superior. He is expected
to arrive here with his family in
few days, and school will probably
open week from next Monday.
Prot. w. taught at Bayfield, last
year and is spoken of in the high,
est terms.
A heavy northeastern, one of the
old timers, ragged all day yesterday,
and still fingers in a mild form.
The wind blew at fearful velocity.
The ferries were suspended, a few
logs got away,a pile driver near the
Uppertown dock blew down and
broke, but beyond this we have
heard of no damage at Superior.
We fear that other places on the
lake have suffered severely.
M. G. Russell has re tired from
the Duluth Tribune, and Prof. r.
J. Mcguire is now Brother MitchQl!'s
first associate; and the TINES old fore
man, Mr.. Ed. NJ Grace is now city
editor Of the Daily Tribune. AS
Prof. Mcguire is one Of the ablest
and most polished writers in the
west, and Mr.. Grace a thoroughly
experienced practical printer and
good writer-who will improve
with time-Mr. Mitchell couldn't
be better fixed than he is for help
on his editorial staff. The Daily
Tribune continues to be a surpris-
ingly good paper, considering the
field it has to work in and the sup
port it gets.
Mr.. l. S. p. Weeks, late chief
engineer Of she Wisconsin division
of the Northern Pacific railroad,
left with his family on Sunday after
noon for his new field Of opera lions
on the Pacific slope. They went
via. St. Paul, Omaha, the Union
Pacific and Utah Northern rail-
roads, and will have to travel about
$50 miles by stage before reaching
their new home at Miss oula, Mont
ana. The assignment by Gen.
Anderson of Mr.. Weeks to TIL
charge of about 200 miles of road
through the most difficult country
on the entire line of the Northern
Pacific is a recognition of the
latter's ability that must be
very flattering to him, and it GEL
tainly affords much pleasure to his
friends to see him complimented in
this way. The people of Superior
are sorry TO lose Mr.. Weeks, for
they feel indebted to him for the
satisfactory progress of the work
here under his charge, and for
many of the plans with reference
to the road and this town that when
carried out must result in great
advantage to the town, as we'll as
totthe best interest OF the road. We
all wish Mr.. Weeks and his estim-
able lady much success in their
far-awsy home, and hope TO see
them here again on the completion
from ocean to lake Of the great road
with which they are connected.
Mr.. F. w. d. Holbrook who
takes the place of Mr.. Weeks as
Chief Engineer of the Wisconsin
Division of the North ern Pacific,
with headquarters at Superior, is
an engineer of ability, skill and
long practical experience. He has
for some years been connected with
the Northern Pacific, having served
on the construction of the Dakota
Divisions, last winter on the sur
veys Of the Wisconsin division be-
tween here and Ashland, and late
ly on the Little Falls and Dakota
and the line on the west bank of
the Mississippi from Minneapolis
northward. Mr.. Holbrook being
an old friend of Mr.. Weeks often
consulted by him, and connected
with the Office here so long, is quite
familiar and in entire accord with
all the latter's plans, and therefore
enters easily upon his new work,
which We feel safe in saying he
will carry out IN in all details as
originally planned. The people of
