Martin Pattison, David Sang and

week on prospecting tour to the
| Vermillion Lake iron fields.
All interested in organizing fire
company will meet this Saturday ev-
ening at 7 O'clock at the kuykendall
House. Every citizen should attend
Col. C. NJ. Butt finished taking
testimony on Air Line claims this
week and departed for Madison Thurs
day. 1t is understood hearing will
be had at Madison on June Is, on the
claims arising in the engineering
department, which are contested by
some of the other creditors.
What Superior wants is produc-
ers, not consumers. We need men
who will start saw mills, planning mills,
Touring mills, foundries, machine
shops, brick yards, etc, enterprises
that will employ men, more than we
need storekeepers, lawyers or land
agents.
Very little real estate is changing
hands these days. The demand for
lots which was so brisk some months
ago has almost died out. Our real
estate men are enjoying the rest from
trying to explain the reason why non
resident owners decline to sell their
lots here.
Two Of our enterprising young
men, Chas. Lord IF. and John Osan-
gle have formed a co-partnership
which will be known as the Superior
Fish Co., and engaged in the fishing
business. They have already made
several hauls and find ready sale for
/ their fish at home.
Large fires appeared back and
south Of town Monday, which, had
dry weather continued, might endan-
4 ger the town, but thanks to provi-
] dence the wind changed to n. E. with
torrents Of rain and no danger may
now be anticipated from THAT fire
at least.
-Retallack & Cox have started q
branch store in Duluth under the di-
rection and management of Peter Err
ricson. The stock carried is princi-
pally clothing and gents furnishing
goods. This firm is doing q large and
we hope q profitable business and de-
serves hearty support.
The boys were finally prohibited
from playing ball con the grounds
fronting on Stinson Avenue. The
noise they made was nuisance. The
language they used was much worse
especially when a crowd Of them
would congregate there Sundays. The
only wonder IS that the thing was al
lowed TO 60 on so long,
At last we have got another
printer and we feel easier. Mr.. AID
rich, our new foreman is just from the
Jobs rooms Of Johnson, Smith and
Harrison Of Minneapolis, Mimi, and
is a good job printer, and with his as
sistance we can now fill orders for
job work more promptly than ever.
( Bring on your orders for good work in
job printing.
From six o'clock in the morning
to late at night the Nemadji ferry is
scarcely idle a moment. Men are
constantly going to and coming from
the railroads in course Of construction.
While down there a few days ago for
half an hour, no less than fifty persons
crossed in parties Of from two to ten.
Most Of the men going, we noticed,
were Scotch, while those that came in
were Swedes.
Mr. J. J. Hubbard is opening a
brick yard Gu the n. P, road a short
+ distance west Of the state line. The
clay in that locality is free from lime,
I. plenty Of sand abounds, and it is
thought to be well adapted for brick.
Mr.. H. has already erected a good
house, but he proposes giving the clay
a thorough test by hand manufacture
before going to any expense in the
way Of machinery.
"A. L. Stewart has this week NOV
ed his tailoring establishment to the
new Gates block, two doors west of
the Bank, where he will have two fine
rooms one upstairs for a workshop
and another on the ground floor front
for cutting and display of his goods.

Of the latest styles for spring and sum-
mer wear. Mr.. Stewart Is q first-class
tailor and insures excellent fits every
time. Call in and see him in his new
and pleasant quarters and examine
