They Lost Their Seine,

As has been before stated i'll the
Bee, there were several parties en-
gagged in fishing on Lake Superior.
OF course the nets were placed under
the ice and attached above, which was
all very regular, but Saturday the ice
took a notion to 60 sailing, and broke
loose from the shore, taking with it all
the nets. This, of course, created con-
sternation i'll the camp of the S"edes
for it is chiefly Swedes who are en-
gagged in this business and a council
was held, which resulted in four of
them being sent out III small boat to
recover the nets which the ice had
dragged off. As is well known, yes
terday was extremely cold, on the
lake particular V, and the consequence
was that all of them were more or less
frozen, one man being so badly frost
bitten that he had to be carried from
the boat, and fears are are entertained
that his hands and feet will have to be
amputated. 1t is unnecessary to say
that they did not get the nets, as the
ice went much faster than they could
row. They now sing, where, oh
where are our little nets gone"

The 80. Louis Water Power Company.

The annual meeting of this corpora
ton was held in Superior at the office
of James Bardon, Wednesday the
Oath inst. The following board of
directors was elected:
James Smith, Jr., of St. Paul.
d. K. Houtz, of Philade lphia.
John NJ. Butler, of Philadelphia.
James McIntire, of St. Paul.
John Stephenson, Napanee, Ont.
l.. Mendenhall, of Duluth.
James Bardon, of Superior.
After the close of the stockholders
meeting the directors met and elected
officers as follows:
James Smith, Jr., President; D. X.
Houtz, Fice-President; l.. Menden-
hall, Secretary and Treasurer; James
Bardon, Manager.
A majority of the stock is owned by
Mr.. Jay Cook of Philadelphia, whose
interest was represented by MIR. }. M.
Butler, his son-in-law We learn 1t
is the design of the company to devel-
OPP their great water power at an early
day. They control the entire Dailes
of the st. Louis extending along the
river for some twelve miles and hav-
ing fall of nearly 900 feet in that
distance.
A plan is on foot to separate their
log booming privileges from the water
power proper and to consolidate their
boom charters with the Duluth boom
companies, so that the booming on
the lower ST. Louis may be under one
control and operated for the harmony
of all interests. If this be done it
will put an end to the ugly fights in
the legislatures of the two states and
elsewhere which have been carried on
for the past three or four years.

The February number of Demt

The February number of Demon
est's Monthly Magazine proves that
this excellent publication is steadily
progressing. The present issue is I'M
usually varied and attractive, many of
the poems and prose articles having
especial reference to the season of St.
Valentine The articles most worthy
of note are "Proposals of Marriage
"a Visit to the Home of Paul
Hayne," How we Live in New
York" by Jennie June, Society at
the Capital" "Frinch Weddings"
"Artistic Dressing" and the "Young
Hero of Fashion" The department
of fiction is supplied by several short
stories, and the continuation of Mrs.
Alexander's admirable serial, "The
Admiral's Ward The Poets Cor
ner" is unusually well filled, many of
the poems being very meritorious.
Current Topics" are discussed in a
forcible and pleasant style, and every
department contains much that will be
found both useful and interesting.
The present number is profusely illus
trated, the frontispiece being superb
oil picture of Love, which is fine
work of art that will find many ad
mirers.

Coal Docks.

We understand that our old towns
man, Mr.. Thompson Richie, has not
been idle since he left rs to dwell in
the land OF civilization, but that on
the contrary he has been working up
business, and in connection with Mr..
Haupt Of Philadelphia and some other
parties will in short time commence
the erection of large coal dock here.
We have no date tc go by as to the
size Of the dock, but we know from
the character of the men engaged in
it, it will be of ample dimensions. The
new dock will be located near the n.
p dock, it is thought, though this
point is not definitely settled upon.
Let the good work 60 on.

We do not like to be all the time
finding fault. and we do not know as
it does any good, still we cannot help
but notice and occasionally call at
tention to the at least seeming out
RACES perpetrated upon us. and other
business men of the town in the way
freight charges by the various railroad
lines running into our city. We all
thought the Omaha was going to
bring us relief in this direction, but
such does not seem to be the case, and
you can hardly step into one of our
stores without hearing complaints of
excessive charges and slow delivery.
We will give just one case as a sam
pie. Mr.. Bradshaw called our atten-
ton to bill of goods few days ago
The freight on this bill from Chicago
to the North Wisconsin Junction, a
distance of $50 miles was Sl.92; and
from the Junction to Superior, same
company and road, and distance of
only IA miles, the charges were
S2.39. There is no excuse here for a
new and bad road and little business,
for our Governor and his special COM
mittee have just viewed the road and
accepted the same as done and in ex-
cellent condition and turned over the
land grant in consideration thereof,
and the company declares it cannot
deliver our goods more promptly be-
cause the business is so great they
cannot handle the goods faster, and
the goods being under one manage
ment from Chicago here, why is this
great and at least seeming extortion in
the way of charges? Is there any rem
edy for this state of affairs or must we
grin and bear it, as we do tooth pull
ing?

Now while this subject of fire es-
capes in hotels is before the public let
US stop long enough TO inquire how it
is with our own hotels. We have
never been through all of them, but
we will venture the assertion that none
of them are properly arranged in this
respect. The matter should be looked
to before we have grand cremation
