Since the times have become rather hard
we hear many that should know better de-
nouncing the Northwestern Manufacturing
and Car company as the source of all our
troubles, in that the city is saddled with
vast debt through issuing bonds for the es-
Establishment of the works here. Buff the

which money goes to the various places OF
business here. II that amount was not spent
here, then our merchants and others might
well cry ''hard times.' Even in the present
curtaiment OF work by the company 2S9
civilians are mployed, besides 3O7 convicts.
The company is benefit to the city, and we
see no reason why such hard things are
said

available ice house he has, is now stacking
beautiful clear ice outside, on the lot imme-
diately in the rear of his residence, and which

shed. The location is convenient for ship
ment, and Mr. Reyner will make a snug
sum out Of it, should the ice crop south be
light The ice is now solid, with thickness
of twentysix inches.
Wood has come in more plentifully than
ever the past few days, as the ice road fror
Marine is now open. The farmers, who arG
hauling wood, do not lose any time by going
to the wood market, but pile it on the levee
and on the lake, and then sell it in bulk to
our wood merchants. Some of the wood is

urday evening at the city hall will be able to
accomplish something, and to be able to get
the Chicago, Freeport d st. Paul railroad to
pass through this city. II looks as if the
meeting is too late, as we learn the surveys
! have been made between River Falls and st.
! Paul, and the line located. We could give
the road business that would pay them to
come here.

gives a grand entertainment at the roller
skating rink, which will no doubt be patron
lied very largely. Many who purchase

moderate and get some sixty degrees warmer
so that those who attend may do so with
some comfort. The committee are doing all
they can to make the entertain ment a sue
cess. The lunch table will be well supplied
with good things to eat, and we trust the hot
