put was prevented by ice from getting nearer

town. This fact does not correspond with the
recent bayfield, dispatch to the st. Paul Globe
which stated that navigation was open there, and
that the harbor was entirely free Office. -lDuluth
Tribune.
We cannot see why the people of Bay
field should not advertise their ice-bound
harbor open" just as well as the Duluth
people, and we don't think it is becoming
in the Tribune to ''snap them up" in that
way. The facts are, first, that navigation
has not been open to either port as yet, and
second, that the Superior harbor is the only
harbor on the upper lake that IS or HAS
BEEN open. The Superior harbor is open
and has been open for two weeks, and
we mean by this is that vessels desiring to
come in from the lake and take refuge in
our harbor could do so, and have been do
ing so for more than two weeks, and for
the past week could run up to our docks if
they desired to do so. We do not make this
statement in a boastful spirit, or with a
desire to injure either Duluth or Bayfield,,
but we wish shippers and business men
generally 10 know the facts in the case.
This silly twaddle about the harbors being
open to navigation month before the ice
commences to give way, fools no one at all
posted in such matters.
