have got to wearing the new star cap, and it
shows well, and should it become general it
win be an improvement on the Did caps.

especially good for this season of the year.

OF this cline viii bring him all right again
The steamer City of St. Paul went north
yesterday morning with tow Of barges for
more cord wood Tor st. Paul. The cord wood
business from the 81. Croix river to ST. Paul
has assumed large proportions, and it is
feared the river will close before it is all got
away.
Matt Clark's feet of steamers look well in
their winter quarters, four of them being in
position, while the Ben Hcrsey is still on the
wing. She is the general utility boat of the
feet but it cannot be long when she will
take her place with the others, as the season
must soon close.

in contact.
