Counterfeit Silver Dollar.

Boston, Aug. 27.-The finest specimen
of counterfeit silver dollar made its APP
pearance in New England this week. II is
the most perfect OF any that have been made
by counterfeiters since 1881. The only per
ceptibie difference between it and a genuine
dollar is that it does not weigh as much as
the standard dollar 1t is also thicker and
will not enter tester. 1t has about the
same ring as a good dollar

The Spooner convention held last
Friday was not very satisfactory to
the Barron county delegation, who
were most shamefully ignored. This
county had a delegate representation
of twelve out of the total twenty-sev
EN- in the convention, and thought her.
self entitled to name one delegate to
the State convention, and rightfully
had. 1t is little early yet, but the
balance of the district will be taught
n trick next fall worth two of theirs.
Rice Lake Times
Our Barron county folks have no
reason to kick anybody outside Of her
own county limits, if we are rightly
informed Her twelve delegates got
into a fight among themselves as to
who should be the representative de-
sired, and utterly failed to centre upon
any one. If these facts existed, the
people of that county should blame
their delegates and not all the others.
The assembled convention had no bus
mess nor authority to NEEDLE with
their private quarrel. Had Barron
county come in with a unanimous re-
quest for some one person for the
place desired she would undoubtedly
have got all she asked. 1t don't look
well to squeel under the crcum-
stances.

The Log Crop.

Ashland Press.
The winters work in the pineries is
ended. The season has been very
favorable one for numbering and not
outstanding the efforts to reduce the
annual cut, nearly as many logs have
been banked as in former years. The
estimate of the amount of logs held
over from last year, is 1000, 100000
feet. OF this vast amount, there are
/ ,200,00O,000 on the Chippewa waters
alone. Some idea Of the rapidity with
which the great Wisconsin forests are
being denuded, may be gained from
a statement Of the fact that the enor-
nous crop of 1, 200,O00,000 feet repre-
senting 100000 acres of standing pine
wiped out Of existance. in the Chip
pewa basin alone. At this rate of for
est slaughtering, the great pinerics of
Wisconsin will in few years be
known only in history.

Ditto Here.

Speaking of itself and its course as
an independent paper and the uneasi-
ness such a course occasions the differ
ent factions of that city, the editor of
the Duluth evening Herald says:
''Politics worry us but little only 50
far as it furnishes interesting news for
our readers. Nothing is so gratifying
as to know that partisans are not ex-
actly satisfied with our policy. 1t
proves that we have struck the happy
position which will be taken by the
every day business man, mechanic and
laborer."
That it Is about the way it is with
us, brother Bunnell. The Republi-
cans, or some Of them do, think we
are a little tainted with Democratic
ideas, and some of the Democrats
would feel easier if we had a little
more Democracy in our general make
up, and our Republican tendencies
were less prominent. But the TINES
will keep right on advocating and
supporting such men and measures of
whatever party origin, which it deems
for the best public good What this
country needs is more newspaper in
dependence

w. r. Wight, who has been con-
nected with the postoffice in this vii
lage for considerable length of time,
and very competent and faithful
man, started yesterday for Duluth.
He was accompanied by Geo. Huff
man, All employee of the Journal office
for over eighteen months, and a very
worthy young man. Both go west on
account of poor health. California is
their objective point, and their num-
erous Ithica friends hope their ex-
pectations may be fully realized.
We clip the above item from the
Gratiot,, Mich county Journal of a
recent date Mr. Wight stopped
at Superior to visit his brother for a
few days and liked it so well here that
he concluded to locate, and in COM
pany with his brother now keep the
Montreal House on Second street.
Mr.. Huffman expects to go to st. Paul
next week and will either stop there and
work or go down into Nebraska, and
we hope he will get a ''fat take" in
some office soon, for he seems to be
deserving young man.

Another Mill Project.

Parties from WiIlmar, Mimi, were
in the city this week looking for site
for 200 barrel per day Touring mill.
They found a location TO suit them
and will no doubt locate here if the
grounds can be secured. They ask no
bonus nor financial assistance beyond
the simple gift of the necessary ground
eight lots, and do not ask possession Of
even this much until they have ex-
pended at least $4,000 on the same
and toward building the mill. Our
Chamber of Commerce has the pro-
position in charge, and will make
further inquiry as to the responsible
ty of the parties, and see if the lots
can be secured for them. Our people
cannot afford to longer ignore these Of
fers of outsiders to give us a start in
this direction. Minneapolis started
out with a much smaller beginning
than this, look at her glory and inn
portance today. This is a much bet
ter place for milling than Minneapolis
even can be, and all we want is to get
the business started. This done, other
mills will follow and we will thus be
able to hold that very important in
dustry. The future great mills Of
the Northwest are going to be located
at the head of Lake Superior. Now
the question is do the people of this
town want this milling interest cen
tered here, or do they prefer to haye
it 90 to Duluth and along the ST.
Louis River? Do you think we would
be better off without the mills than
with them? Do you think our ma
tural advantages" all sufficient, or do
we need with these manufacturing and
business enterprises as assistants in
making a town? Do you think capt.
tai is going to pay you big bonus for
the privilege of coming to Superior,
when there are hundreds of other
places for it to 60 to, and receive
bonus for going there? If you think
these manufacturing industries and
business enterprises at all essential to
our prosperity, here is at your service
the opening wedge. VIII you cast it
away, or use it? This mill will require
an elevator, an institution we have
been for two years trying to get. 1t
will produce freight for the boats go
ing out and the trains coming in; it
will give employment to number of
skilled workmen, it will aid us from
whatever standpoint you take. Shall
we accept or reject the offer?

bayfield, Press

Bayfield, Press.
During the past year number of
saw mills have been erected along the
line of the Omaha road through tn S
county, and around all these institu-
tions-important factors in the devel-
opment of the northern wilderness
have clustered all these minor irstitu-
tons which go to form the neuclus of
future towns of more or less note.
At Pratt, a small station between
Drummond and Mason, is lively
little mill operated by a hard-fsted
brawny, big-hearted man by the name
of Scotland. Mr.. S. furnished en-
ployment for upwards of forty men,
and mill and operator fouished finely
until ii short time ago, when one of
King Alcohol's agents opened out in
business at that point and he soon sue
ceeded in demoralizing the mill hands.
Forbearance finally ceased to be a yir-
tue and last Saturday Mr.. S. inform
ed the liquid dispenser that he would
give him until Monday morning to
close his shop and that if it was not
closed at that time he would take the
law in his own hands Monday morn
ing Mr.. S. called the roll of his hands
and found he had not enough men fit
for work to load car. He started
for the saloon with ''blood in his eyen
and entering found several of his en-
ployes there in various stages Of
drunkenness. Pulling out his watch
he informed the saloon keeper that he
would give him five minutes to close
his shop; this the S k failed to do and
Mr. 5. proceeded to set him and bis
stock of liquor cut of doors and III less
than twenty minutes the ranch was
cleared out, the liquor poured into the
river, the house or shanty raised to the
ground and on fire. Those who wit
messed the operation say that Mr.. Sa-
loon keeper and his ranch resembled
the wreck left in the path Of a western
tornado, and it is safe to presume that
the little village of Pratt will be trou-
bled no more forever.
