cellent; the fine steel engraving ''The
Palm Offering" being after the cele-
brated painting by +. Goodall, the
noted English artist, and is not only
fine specimen of the engraver's skill
but gives an admirable idea of the
great painter.

a Rough Voyage.

The little tug Edward P. Fish,
which got into our harbor last Friday
afternoon just before the gale had a
chance to strike her, had long. tedi-
Gus and dangerous trip getting here.
She is but 81 feet long and u foot
beam, and left Toledo May 9TH be-
ing thirteen days making the trip.
She reached the Sault Ste Marie on
the Sth; stuck in the ice off Whitefsh
point one night, five miles off Mar
quette She was blockaded for five
days. On the 18th she was lifted en-
tirely out Of the water by crowding of
ice, and the crew abandoned her and
walked on the ice to the tug Johnson
near by. They returned, however,
the same day, and Sunday night, the
18th, managed to get into Marquette
The Johnson towed her to Portage en-
try, and there the tugs parted com
pany. The trip was uneventful until
Friday, except that the supply of food
gave out and fuel nearly so. The tug
was but twelve miles out of this port
when a storm struck her at 1870 p. m.
Friday. 1t seemed impossible for the
tug to live through the gale. Water
was thrown fifty feet in the air, at
times almost submerging the boat. The
captain proposed to run the tug on the
beach half a mile distant, but was
from doing so by the crew.
At the conclusion of the storm the
boat had but little fuel left and near
ly two feet of water in the hold. She
got into this port in the evening with
out a pound of fuel left, and the crew
had had nothing to eat since leaving
Bayfield, Wednesday night.

Another Railroad for Superior.

1t is conceded on all sides that Su.
perlor will at no distant day become
the great terminal point for railroads
at the head of lake Superior. Our ex-
cellent harbor, the large tract of fine
level land adapted for building pur-
poses, the easy grades on which roads
can reach US, all tend to this end, and
railroad men will not be slow to avail
themselves of these advantages. The
latest thing in this direction is the pa
tent issued by Gov. Rusk, ON Mon
day last, to the Chicago, St. Paul &
Northern Pacific Railway company.
OF this organization Madison dis
patch of the 21st says:
The article of incorporation state
that 1t Is the intention to construct
MAINTAIN, and operate railway COM
menclng at some point near the State
line of Illinois and Wisconsin, near
the village of Genoa, in Walworth
county, and running in a Northwestern
~ direction across the State to Lake
Superior near Superior City, with a
branch commencing near Necedah, in
Juneau county, and running north
westerly to point on the st. Croix
river, near Clifton Mills, in Pierce
county. Also with a branch commenc
ing near Geneva and running to Mil
waukee. The main line is to be 352
miles in length, the branch to Clifton
Mills 145 miles, and the branch to
Milwaukee forty-four miles. The cap
ital stock is $11 100000. The number
OF directors is seventeen, and among
them Is found the name of Gen. W.
). Rosecrans Of San Francisco. The
reported object of the company is to
make the Northwestern company pay
for some road bed in Walworth county
graded years ago by the company
which the Chicago, ST. Paul, Minnea-
polls q Omaha succeeded, and now be-
ing operated by the Northwestern
company.
This would be grand good thing
for Superior as well as for the railroad
company, and we trust the present in
corporators mean business, and will
push the road to an early completion.

The Way 1t was Done i'm 1918.


Through the kindness of Mr.. L. F.
Wheelock we have been permitted to
look at copy of the "Sacketts-Har-
Dor Gazette" published at Sacketts-
Harbor, Jefferson county, N. Y, Tues
day, Octoqer Sth 1881, and edited by
George Camp. 1t is FIVE column
folio, without any head rules, and
with good clean print, and no type
smaller than bourgeoise Zone size
smaller than this type) in the paper.
1t is quite safe to say that the mer-
chants of those days carried mixed
stock, " as the following advertisement
copied yer batim from the Gazette,
will show. 1t reads thus:

An Excursion.

The Rev. p. A. De Paradis, of New
Richmond, was in the city few days
ago, making arrangements for the en-
tertainment of grand and extensive
excursion party, to be composed of
leading men and families living along
the line Of Omaha road. He expects
to gather up about FIVE hundred per-
sons between Minneapolis and Cor
don, and made arrangement with Mr.
Murphy, mine host of the Commercial
House, to provide dinner for that
number of guests. The date fixed
upon for their arrival was Thursday,
June 18th and our people will do well
to prepare themselves to receive and
enteJtain the visitors in becoming
manner The full program for the day
is not yet fully decided upon, but
there will probably be a short trip
taken on the lake, and the time gen
orally spent in looking about the
town, mills etc. This is only the first of
the many such excursions now pro-
jected with Superior as the terminal
point, and the indications are that we
shall have good many visitors to
entertaind during the summer.

They have been having terrible
floods at Deadwood and neighboring
points in the Black Hills. The inn
mense snow banks on the mountains
went off with a warm rain and the
floods grew nightly in a few hours
and rushed down the gulches carrying
away everything with which it came
in contact. The loss at Deadwood
alone is estimated at s350,000, and
much of the town will never be re-
built.

On Sunday night last terrible
wind storm swept over Lake Michi-

At Milwaukee and Chicago the storm

mentions were wrecked and many
lives lost.
