plank would have to be used, it would require
GA, 900 feet at cost of not less than 81 900
including spikes and work.
Mr.. A. Fl. Mas, who for some time kept
the bakery and confectionery business on
Main street, has left for Chicago to work at
his trade, he being first class candy maker.
While Mr.. Mas was in business here he
made many friends, and was doing well UNI
| til the fire on Second street destroyed his
oven, since which time his business has been
losing one. He is deserving of success,
as he always attended strictly to business,
for which he has an excellent capacity.
The Wisconsin Central contractors men
who loaded the outfits on the Duluth cars
here did not appear to understand their bust
ness, as the did not use any stakes or
frames to keep the wagons and scrapers on
the car. AS a consequence, one of the cars
had not gone 200 feet when the load was
dumped off beside the track, and another is
badly balanced. They could not get over
the road in their present condition, as the
Duluth can discount any road we know, for
the number of curves between this and
White Bear. They got in as many as they
could.
The Northwestern Manufact uring & Car
company are about working up some material
they have on hand into wagons, of which
about 200 will be put up. 1t is not the in
tention to go into the business, only to make
use of the material on hand. If they should
go into that work there is no doubt they
could make it pay, as the nearest extensive
wagon mandatory is at Moline, ILL.,, and
some smaller factories in Wisconsin The
material could be obtained here as cheaply
as anywhere, and the facilities for manufac-
turing cannot be excelled.
A woman who was washing at Mr.. James
Foran's, on Laurel street, made too free with
the silverware, taking set of silver spoons,
and other articles. The articles were missed,
Chief Shortall notified, and the case given to
Policeman George Walters to work up. He
went to the Woman's house, but she was not
at home. He had her daughter, aged about
sixteen years, go to where her mother was
working and tell her that he wanted her, but
she would not come. George then went to
work to search the house, and found the sew
eral articles stolen hidden in the straw tick
which was on the bed. 1t is not known
whether proceedings will be taken against
the woman or not.
Thomas Sutherland, contractor, has very
fine five acre lot near the cemetery, and has
this season grown thereon an excellent crop
of all kinds of vegetables and roots. On Sat
urday last he went out to
take some of the products home,
when he found in the lot number of boys
and young men husily engaged in helping
themselves. They had bags with them, and
hon lar hIJtob ar Iyr,ifa TO off tha
and roots OF the turnips. When they say
him they fed, leaving the spoils behind.
Mr.. Sutherland recognized several of the
young men, and no doubt they will have a
chance of interviewing Judge Netheway,
B F. Rice, who has a harness shop on Sec
ond street. has leased the store of the O. n.
Nelson company, and will begin the manu-
facture of collar sweat pads for horses. He
has the patent for the most COM lete fast
ener that has yet been discovered, and all
horsemen who have seen it concede that it
cannot be excelled. The article which he
will manufacture is wanted by every owner
of horses, and there is great western coun-
try which must be supplied. The establish
ment of the factory here will be duly appre-
cated by the citizens, as it is expected to
| give employment to quite "a number of
nanus, cnleny women ana girls. Every new
industry that is established here adds so
much to the importance of the city.
Yesterday we went out Myrtle street. with
Alderman Burns to see the new grading
done on that street, west of Owan, by the
| O'Neal Bros. We found the street graded in
frst-elass style, with raised and level Dor
ton at each side for walks, which may either
gravelled or have board walk. The descent
from the center of the road to the gutter is
sufficient to take the water off, and the work
could not be better done. O'Neal Bros. by
work such as this cannot fail in making
| themselves favorite contractors. 1t is the
best piece of grading we have yet seen in the
city. The same street should be made tC
| grade from that point east, and it would be
| found to be not such a great undertaking as
| supposed. The street would be lowered some
nine feet at the billboard, and protection
wall could be easily built to keep the water
and sand damaging or filing up the cutters.
A gradual ascent should be made the whole
distance TO Third street.
