The prosperity Of Hayward depends at
present npon two things, one of which is the
operations of the North Wisconsin Lumber
company and the other is the fact that it is a
lgreat supply station and place of rendezvous
ifor the numbering operations of the Chippewa
J and tributaries of the ST. Croix. East from
Hayward twenty miles you reach the Chip
! pewa, and from this point supplies are
drawn to the numberless numbering camps,
and here the men congregate fall and spring
tenroute for camp or returning home. This
lsupply business reached an amount not less
THAN 5000, 900, the past season and will con-
tinue to be larger in the future.
Hayward is the county seat of Sawyer
county, which embraces some 1900 square
miles, a very large proportion of which is
pine. The North Wisconsin railroad, before
alluded to, skirts the western part of the
county, and larger area naturally tributary

TUE Republican nomination election

THE Republican nomination election
last Saturday showed a remarkable
Republican growth in many of the dis
tricts in the county. For instance III
the West end of the Seventh ward, there
were 252 votes polled on last Saturday
with 154 Republican votes at
the last Presidential election. Ihe
Second ward also shows remarkable
growth of Republicans. In 1882 only
3sS Republican votes were polled, and
for Mr.. Eastburn, who was elected to
the City Council, only 4ol Republican
votes were polled. At last Saturday 5
election 517 votes We're east. This M
dcates a very healthy growth OF Re
publican sentiment, though due allow
ances must be made for votes from
other districts upon the pledge that
those who cast them would vote no
where else. The same proportionate
increase is found in New Castle, Chris
tiana, Appoquinimink and Blackbird
Hundreds, and should the same increase
extend through all the districts, New
Castle County should be held without
much trouble for the Republican party
next November.

Horrors of the Public Execution OF

While was in Yokohama | witnessed
the public execution of d criminal. He
was tine-looking Japanese, in the prime
of youth and strength, and was standing
under post in the middle of a posse of
guard The post had a cross-piece.
Nearly nude, he was standing erect, but
as motionless as statue, and gazed
straight before him. Presently his jail
ers moved aside and a gaunt, repulsive-
looking native, the executloner, made
his appearance, clad from head to foot
in a dress of dingy yellow. Two assist
ants accompanied him, carrying half a
dozen round bamboo rods. The assist
ants dropped the rods and stretched the
criminals hands over the cross piece of
the post. The eXecutioner now dallied
with the bamboos, and the poor creature
still looked into the shadowy distance as
though he was dumb. I watched him
closely and thought / detected pallor
spread over his countenance.
The executioner now spat on the
pointed end of one of the bamboos, and
with twisting, pushing motion thrust
it tasily into the flesh about halfway

poor wretch turned and looked at his
tormentor and his lips slightly opened,
but he did not struggle. Iu couple of
minutes, though it seemed longer, the
bloody point of the instrument emerged
from the sufferers shoulder, and a
slight exclama ion of satisfaction escaped
the crowd. Then the executioner went
to the other side with another bamboo
and did the same thing During all
this there was not single groan OF cry
for mercy from the man.
At this juncture, to my surprise, the

the remaining bamboos and walked
away. ! inquired what they meant and
! was told the execution was over 1t was
customary to leave the man that way,
and he would die in couple of hours OF
so. The bamboos would remain in him

RiIl.Posting on IA Large Scale.
[Chicago Times !


In the winter of 184950, young sign
painter, of Brooklyn, finding his business
very dull, amused himself by going along
the Harlem road and painting his name,
occupation and business on all the rocks
and fences. Several business men were
struck with the idea and employed the
Young man to blazen advertisements for
them in various localities. Soon after,
securing large number of contracts for
the work, he Travelled with his brush and
paint up the Missouri river, exercising
his peculiar talents Oh the bare crags of
the Rocky mountains. He journeyed
into Oregon and daubed her pyramids.
Down the golden valley of the Sac, over
the granite cliffs of the Humboldt range
he went, leaving behind him staring
legends of oliver pills." "ague pads, "
ETC., to terrify the wondering savage and
buffalo. We are happy to say he was
shot at several times and had to run to
save his wretched hide.
He was pursued soon after by rival
as fearless and unscrupulous as himself.
Finally, the two went into partnership,
and between them transformed the eoun-

and undertook, at specified rates, to ad-
vertise merchants, etc, in as few or
many states as desired. In 1890 the
manager of this business, the quondam
Brooklyn sign-painter, now million
aire, declared that he and his partner
had Travelled 1 500, 900 miles, and painted
80, 600 signs, and used 500 barrels of lin
seed oil and $50 tons of white lead. This
was before tie two retired from active
participation in the manual part of the
business. They now have this work
done by their 1900 agents, through whom
they can work the whole United State:

DR.. Farr, an English scientist, says
that if one were to watch the march of
1000, 900 people through life, he would
observe that nearly $50, 900 would die the
first year, SO, 900 the second, 2s 900 the
third, less than 1000 in the thirteenth,
and at the end of 10S years there would
be but one survivor. Then we shall not
undertake to watch the march Of 1,000,-

would be too gloomy--something like
reading London comic weekly; and it
would be just our luck not to be The one
survivor at the end Of 10S years.

4 MICHIGAN LOGGING CAMP.
Ninety Tons OF Lumber Pulled Over
an lee Road by Two Horses.

The several logging camps Of one
lumber firm III this city are all in north
ern Michigan. AMI have turned out in
the season just closed an aggregate of
10000, 600 feet of lumber. The camps
are scattered along the Au Sable and
Pine rivers. Some of the logs are
hoated 150 miles before the mill at Os-
coda is reached. The logs are hauled
from where they are cut to the river on
low bob sleds over a carefully prepared
roadway. These roads, after a snow
foundation is formed at the begin
ming of the season, are carefully
scraped with patent scraper.
Then a sprinkEng- cart, with an
abundant flow of water, is run over the
road at night. The water freezes and
makes the roadbed a mass of solid ice.
Each snowfall is ca .efully scraped off
and the flooding process con lnues until
the ice driveway is eighteen or twenty
inches above the surface of the ad
jacent land. Thus built, uhe roadbeds
are firm and not as susceptible to a
thaw as the ordinary snow-packed
roads. In laying out these roads dis
tance of two miles is often traversed
to make pont not more than one
quarter of mile distant. This is
requis tie in making it perfectly level
or with slight incline toward the OBJ
iective point OF the loaded sleds.
Cn such magnificent roal, immense
hauls can be made, and the expense in
Cured building and caring for them
is amptly justified In the company's
office in this city i, large photograph
of the largest load of logs ever drawn
by single team of horses. 1he
picture was taken about three weeks
ago at Otsega lake, on the head waters
Of the Au Sable river. There are
twenty-one pine logs, sixtyfour feet
long, and the load measured 30,0j8
feet of good lumber, board measure.
The hollow butts, bark, and waste are
all scaled out OF these figures. A close
estimate of the weight of the load puts
it at ninety tons.
The team weighed about 5000
pounds and easily hauled this immense
weight a distance of mile and quar-
| ter. The horses pull wide apart, the
neck yoke and whitfietrees being twelve
feet in length. The holsters of the
OOD Slc0o Ou VIC 1Odu 4CnIo dIe
of the same length, and the logs
rise up to height of about sixteen
feet. The runners of the bob sleds are
about four inches wide and six inches
thick. The hobs set very low and
spread fully twelve feet. They are con
nected by cross chains which run from
the heel of the front sled to the toe o!
the rear one, crossing in the centre
The logs are loaded by means of skids
which reach ON the ground to the
load With 70; and tackle the horse.
roll the logs up the inclined plane into
place with the greatest ease. There is
a deal of rivalry in the lumber camp
over the question of big loads. A few
years ago three or four of these logs
scaling 1900 or 1000 feet of lumber
were considered a pretty good load fol
a team. The improved roadways have
largely contributed to the increased
hauls.
