SUPERIOR!
Her Location and Surround
ings.
Natural HA2BOR Advantages.
Mineral Wealth, Unsurpassed Lum
bering Facilities and Agricul-
tUral Resources

Since our connection with the TIMES we
haye daily received letters of inquiry re-
garding Superior and her resources and
prospects. We desire to answer all inquir-
ers, but to do so separately by letter would
require all of our time or demand the en-
ployment of a special correspondent, and
then it would be incompletely done. To
meet the desires Of all, therefore. we have
compiled, from such statistics as are avail
able, a brief sketch or history of the city
and its surroundings. The reader is no
doubt aware that the idea of building CITY
here is not new one, but that from various
causes It's development has been retarded.
The obstacles which have heretofore oper-
ated against the town have finally been re-
moved, however, and its day of prosperity
is now at hand. Heretofore we have never
had an inland outlet; now we have the
Northern Pacific railroad stretching away
to the plains of the west, and in a few
months will have the Chicago St. Paul,
Minneapolis & Omaha road giving us direct
communication with Chicago to the east
and all the great and fertile region lying to
the South and Southwest in an unbroken
chain through Southern Dakota, Nebraska
&c. As an evidence of present prosperity
1t is only necessary to say that within the
past six months $500, 600 have been ex-
pended here in new buildings and local i'm
provements not including the railroad build
ing. The n. P. Company is building a
large and very substantial dock and the
city is repairing and charging two others.
The large hotel known as the Superior
House, containing about one hundred
rooms, has been reftted and furnished and
opened to the public; new $4,000 hotel
to be built by the n. 2. Company will be
erected during the season and also at least
one million bushel elevator, coal docks, &C.
The only National bank at the head of the
lake is here, and new business and dwelling
houses are springing up daily as if by
magic. Superior is the county seat of
Douglas County, and we have an excellent
Court House. three good school houses and
three schools in operation. three good
church buildings and another to be built
this season, all of which is given as the best
Of evidence that Superior is soon to occu
py that position in the great commercial
circles nature has intended she should
occupy.
Much of the matter given below has of
course been given to the public before in
one form or another but being interesting
to those who would ''know all about u.s."
and thoroughly reliable, we compile it in
its present form to the better and more ex-
picitly answer the many questions pro-
pounded to us.

-Fuchsias, says writer in the
Horticulturalist, may be trained into
any desirable shape if taken in time.
Take the little upright plants, pinch
out the center, and in place of one
there will spring out two, often three
shoots. Let these branches make
about the same growth, and repeat the
process to each, keeping the side
branches Of equal length, or tapering
like pyramid; or by clipping off all
the lower limbs and letting the upper
ones droop over, you have an UNI
brella.

THE Freie Presse falls out with US because
we do not choose to abuse Epson, and says
that we have contributed to placing Epson in a
favorable light before the sheep men, making
him out good republican, etc. Well, it all
depends how we look at this matter. Upson's
friends have complained that we have placed
him at disadvantage with his constituents.
We want simply to allow Epson to stand on
his record, which will condemn him whenever
the people come to deciding this question from
a business stand point. If Epson accepts
regular democratic nomination ne will lose the
protection vote in this district; if he runs indie
pendent he will lose the bourbons; he is al
most certainly doomed to defeat, and we
would like to let him down gently, you know.

The LIfe-Saving Service.

The annual report Of the operations of
the United States Life Saving service for
the year ended June 30, 1881, contains a
large amount of valuable and interesting
information on the subject. 1t appears
from the report that the ife-Saving es-
Enlistment embraced at the close of the
last fiscal year 1873 stations Two hun
dred and fifty disasters to vessels within
the scope of the operations occurred dur
ing the year. On board these vessels
there were !, 1878 persons, of whom ,S54
were saved and "A lost. Succor was af-
forded at the stations to 407 shIpwrecked
persons, to whom LOGO days relief in
the aggregate was furnished. The esti-
mated value Of the vessels involved in
these disasters was $2,744,2 47, and that
of their cargoes $1.310.515, making
the total value of the prop
erty imperiled $4,O54, 752. Of this
amount $2,S2s, $50 was saved, and 81
226, O72 lost. The number of disasters
involving the total loss of vessels was 66.
In 1SS instances vessels were got off
when stranded, piloted out of dangerous
places, repaired when damaged, or as
sisted in similar ways by the station
crews. In many of these instances, it is
stated, both vessels and crews would
have been lost without this aid. The ap-
preparations for life saving service dur
ing the year amounted to $472, $50; the
expenditure during the same time was
$3sO,O7 20, exclusive Of contingent ex-
penses, reducing the balance considera-
bly,. The Baltimore Day says: "The
work of the service speaks for itself
as an GRAND Of mercy, an ensample
of self-sacrifice. a scorn of mere worldly
gain, and an indomitable perseverance
in the face of the elements of danger and
distress and even Of death, that must
ever give it a first place in the regards of
the nation"

sad the people are growing tired OF the bur
den.
The character OF the guerrilla operations
which still agitate some parts of Peru is
forclbly illustrated IL the account given by
a Star and Herald correspondent Of fight
which occurred in February between two
factions Of the Peruvians. A force OF about
twelve hundred men had been held together
near Ayacucho. Caceres, who had also
about one thousand men, endeavored to
persuade the other force to come under his
standard and recognize the provisional gov
eminent. They refused and marched out
of town. Caceres, who is well acquainted
in the district, soon persuaded the inhaDi-
tants to ioin him. When he had abont
three thousand five hundred of this irregu-
lar force he sailed out and attacked the
other camp. As the 'fenemy" had some artil-
lery snds were well handled, Caceres was
whipped, and his troops the same day went
over in detachments and surrendered. Col.
Panizo. in command of the victoTs, wanted
to be generous and allOwsd the VaDquished
to retain their arms. The prisoners were
iHeautiously permitted to mingle through
out the camp with the soldiers, and Csceres
on coming among them saw his opportunity
at once. He raised cry to those about him
and in a moment the prisoners began q
fierce assault in every direction, and in or
der to stop the hopeless slaughter Col.
Panzio surrendered, as his only show of re-
sistance would have been to.train his srti-
lery on the crowd of friends and foes indis
criminately. Caceres has since had lot Of
the captured officers shot.
