The Democracy of this COMPRESSION
al district held Il Congressional con
vention at Eau Claire on Thursday of
last week, and nominated L. r. Lar
son Esq, an attorney of Eau Claire.
Mr.. Larson is spoken Of as very able
representative Of that party, and would
probably make very good Congress
man should he be elected But Mr.
. Price has given such universal salts
faction to all the district, that there is
no doubt ut all as to the result Of the
count Of ballots in November. No
change is desired-except on party
principles-and that desire is not
strong enough to bring about a change.
Douglas county is under special obi
cations to Mr.. Price, and should give
him a handsome majority this fall IL a
vote of thanks, if nothing more, for
the interest he has taken III our affairs.
This would be but justice to him, and
may be done without casting any re-
Elections ut all upon his opponent, Mr..
Larson, and we think our people gen
erallv agree with Us in this view Of the
situation, aud will show by their votes
that they appreciate the work Mr..
Price has done for us Is community.
His majority OF two years ago should
doubled this year.

The Bridge Contract Let.

The contract for building the much
talked of railroad bridge across the St
Louis bay and river to connect Du-
luth with Superior, was let at St Paul
last Friday, by Gen. Anderson, Chief
Engineer of the \. P. road. Three
different parties received contracts for
distinctive parts Of the work Messrs.
Salpaugh Il Co, of Minneapolis, will
build the trusses; the pile bridging
goes TO the Detroit Iron Bridge Build
ing CO., and the timber bridging TO
the Winston Bros, Of Minneapolis.
The work will be mmenaed rs soon
rs the men and material can be got on
the ground, and all the contractors
have agreed to have their respective
works completed by the last day of
January, 1885. In length the bridge
will be almost mile. The separate
parts are, in length, as follows: Draw
bridge, 246 feet; fixed truss span, 100
feet; pile bridging, 1920 feet long.
The contracting parties We're chosen
from among sixteen companies, who
had applied.
When this work is completed North
Superior heretofore known rs DULUTH
will have direct communication with
the parent stem, Superior proper, and
direct communication with the outside
world, and no longer be compelled to
30 around via of st. Paul to reach an
eastern market. All railroads coming
TO the head of the lake will terminate
here, on the Wisconsin side Of the
bay and use the bridge in common for
whatever traffic they may have with
North Superior. The land for side
tracks, depots, warehouses, machine
shops, etc, has already been selected
and a commission appointed to fix the
valuation Of the same, and rs soon rs
the condemnation procedures have
been completed, the Transfer Compa-
ny will begin the work of making
these improvements, and another sea-
son Superior will take step toward
the front that will astonish the ma
tiveS. The most skeptical can no
longer doubt her future position among
the cities Of the Northwest.

1t is said that figures never lie. F"
and it may be true, but ii 50, they are
sometimes mistaken, ut least In our
marriage notice of Mr. and Mrs Rob
erts, published last week, the figures
said the happy event occurred on the
18th day of September, whereas it
should have been the 10th. We take
this first opportunity to correct the err
ror, for some day Mr.. Roberts may be
Il presidential candidate, and some I'M
regencrate opponent might be looking
up his record and this discrepancy Of
eight days might be used to his disad-
vantage, 30 we will block that little
game right here.

The Powder River Cattle com
pany of Wyoming, have decided to
make Superior their headquarters for
the eastward stock shipping business,
and will in few days commence
building stables and fencing of yards
for the stock. They expect to winter
800 head Of cattle here this winter and
in the sping their yards and stables
will be extended to accommodate
about 10000 head. There is scarcely
any limit to this line of traffic, and
we may expect to see immense cattle
yards here in the near future. Let
them come, no better location could
have been selected for the business.

Mr.. NJ. S Bright, of Lafayette,
Indiana, spent two or three days of
this week in our city looking after his
real estate interests here. Mr.. Bright
informed us that he will probably inn
prove his Second street property near
the City Drug store, by erecting fine
and substantial building on the same
next spring. We hope he may decide
TO do 50, for the location is too good a
one to longer lay idle.
