AEnende Honorable.

Since our last issue we have had
the pleasure of making the acquaint-
ance of Capt. Carr of the schooner
Red Wing. In the course of CONVEX
sation with him he remarked that he
thought we had been a little severe in
our criticisms Of the commander of the
tug that brought him in to our harbor
week ago last Thursday, and ex-
planned the situation to us SO plainly
that it was clear how it happened that
he got aground, and also clear that
we had unjustly criticised, Capt
James Hannat, of the Molhe Spencer,
who brought him in, and we take this
our first opportunity to cxhonorate
Capt. Hannat from all blame, and
to beg pardon for our hasty Ger sure.
The wind was blowing almost a gale,
of a puffy nature. off land, and the
tug III her efforts to hug the windward
side of the channel that the schooner
should not be blown on TO the opposite
bank, got a little too far outside and
during a lull in the gale between these
puffs the schooner settled down on the
ground just at the edge of the chan
mel, and this accounts for her being
aground Oh the windward side Of our
broad, deep channel, fact we did
not understand before the Captains
explanation was given us. We are
very much obliged to Capt. Carr for
his explanation for the TINES would
not knowingly misrepresent any one
and without his explanation we should
probably have retained our first i'm
pressiOns.

Our suggestion in the TINES of
last week that the Town Board pro-
ceed to establish grade stakes for sec
ond streets-or all the streets for that
matter meets with approval all along
the line. 1t does not follow that the
streets must be Immediately cut down
or filled up to said grade, but to give
a standard TO builders 50 they may
know where to fix foundations. We
are in favor, however, of putting all of
Second street, from the Nemadii to
Connor's Point on grade, aid paving

At a meeting of the Chaml

At a meeting of the Chamber of
Commerce Wednesday evening, a res
olution was passed asking the Board
of Supervisors to raise 100000 for
road purposes, to be used in building
good county roads. That these roads
are sadly needed no one, we think,
will deny, but whether the Board will
take the necessary steps to secure
them remains to be seen.

this, that all the fish stories going the
rounds Of the press are true, for beau

seen smiling all along in the shadows,
and thrown by every wave of clear
water on the gravely beach, tapping
and wiggling to be eaten" On the
contrary, the lake Is nearlysas large rs

valuable fishes 20 in droves here and

to be the finest on the chain of lakes.
The head Of the lake bends like a
horse shoe, and out from one to two
miles III the water there Is II tract of
land several hundred feet in width,
which extends clear across the horse
shoe, forming pc.fect protection for
large vessels and all floating crafts
from the storms on the open lake.
The harbor is from one to two miles
wide, and seven long. \ safe entrance
Is effected for ships through the mouth
Of the 81. Louis and Acmadji rivers,

away DER the dark waters, from the
powerful reflector in the top of the

EDITOR TRIBUNE-SPENCER WIS:
Again we grasp the quill TO pen
some sentences for you, as in our last
we were to say something of Superior
'when we had learned something of it
ourself."
LOCATION.
Superior is the county seat ofDoug-
las county, Wis, in the extreme
north-wet corner Of the State, at, or
near the fountain of the great lake
from which it takes its name. Is
beautifully located on a gently rolling
plat, gradually sloping to the waters
edge, and is SAID to contain two thous-
and five hundred people. On the east
flows the Nemadji River, leading
down through the timbered land of
''the North Slope" to the lake, and
through which logs are conveyed to
the great mills here and many other
places for lumber and timber manu-
fdcture.
This river is not larger than Black
River at Neilsville, but much deeper.
Small steamers ply back and forth for
some distance To the west is the riv-
er st. Louis, which is much larger
and goes winding here and there on
its course, reaching down from Its com
mencement near the Canada line, hard
bv lake Nermillion and "the great
iron range" through the extensive
pines of northeastern Minnesota, till
the entrance into Lake Superior it
forms the boundary line between Min
nesota and Wisconsin, and expands
into a beautiful bay which bears the
same name. Between these two rivers,
which flow into the lake four miles
apart, and fronting the bay superior
is located; with good side walks reach
ing the whole distance. One continu-
Gus plank walk, extending as far As
John Gardeners store to Wesley
Eanderhoof's farm, in town Of Sher-
man. And then if we consider the
new walk recently constructed to the
cemetery, would make nearly two
miles further We still might state,
in order to show what colossal proper
tions the village Is putting on there are
five thousand acres, all plated, and
properly recorded in the county Reg
ister's office, comprising the town site
Of SupeIior, and still there's more to
follow" Last week over one hundred
thousand dollars was paid in the pur-
chase of real estate here. Some of
this Is yet TO be plated as lots and
blocks. The Northern Pacific Rail
road Company own two thousand acres
in Superior, and don't want to sell
anything, but seem to purchase more
every opportunity. Two of the prin-
cipal railroads in the county are now
completed to this place, viz: The
Northern Pacific and c., st. z. NJ. Il
O. Railroads. Passenger and freight
trains make good time, and run from
here daily to the great west, and to
the east. We are now within 22l
hours ride OF Chicago
