sales of real estate during the
years in this county amount to more than
half million dollars. Improvements in
WOrthingtOn amount to more than $50, 900,
and arrangements have been made for
other large one in the spring. The city's in
debtedness is less than $4,000, while that
of Mobiles county is less than $50, 600. This
is good place for capital seeking invest
ment Taxes are low, and will be lower,
as a consequence of the sale Of large tracts
of railroad lands not enumerated in the
sales above mentioned made during the
year, but heretofore exempt from taxes.
Our soil is well adapted to raising nearly
all grains grown in this latitude, such rs
corn, wheat, flax, barley, oats, etc., while
all vegetables have wondrous growth,
and the amount of fine hay growing wild
can scarcely be estimated. and in the IL car
future bids fair to require additional rail-
roads to move it.
This is a fine situation for state institu-
ton, as the place is one of the healthiest in
the country. A canning establishment
would do WELL as considerable fruit is
grown here; also an oil and tow-mill, q

the ''Arbor City of Southwestern Mime
sota," has had prosperous year in the one
now drawing to close. Handsomely situ-
ated on two beautiful lakes named East and
West Okebena in the very heart of what is
known as the Garden of the West" it has
kept pace with the growing country around
it. 1t is well provided with railroad facil-
tiles, there being at present three roads here
with three more on the way. 1t is called
the ''Elgin of Minnesota and the paradise
of the stock growers and dairymen. The
Okebena lakes are ON the famous ''divide'
and have two outlets. one east into the
Mississippi and one west into the Missouri.
1t is $50 feet above st. Paul and over 200
above tide water. Worthington has the
best public schools in Southwestern Mime
sofa, comprising one state high school, with
five subordinate departments, with an eX-
cellent corps of teachers. 1t has six churches,
five hotels, one steam roller mill, with
a capacity of $50 barrels per day. cream
cry, one butter and egg packing house and
cold storage warehouse. WOrthington has
good streets we'll lighted, good sidewalks
and line shade trees on all streets. All
lines OF business are well represented by a
class of men who stand A No. 1 in the
financial world. There have been no fail
ures. 1t has two well-established banks.

over two hundred cars of hay. one hundred
Of fax, twelve of butter and eggs, ten of
timothy seed, thirty of stock, in addition to
which large amount of stock has been
bought here and driven on foot into Iowa
south OF this place. Some seasons as many
as 40, 600 tons of ice has been shipped to
points south. The hay industry yet in its
infancyl bids fair to be immense. There
are now six or seven parties engaged in
haling and shipping it, and is as fine hay as
grows in the world. Worthington is the
county seat OF MOBILES county, and the
United States land office for this
district is located here. The

Simmon. Giesen, Williams Ellis, Gilbert,
Athey, Curtis and Mr.. President-1O.
Absent: Inspectors Norman, Schiffmann,
Berlandi, Haas and Dobner-5.
The reading of the minutes was on mo-
ton dispensed with.
The committee on real estate. to whom
the matter of heating the Madison school
had been referred for investigation and re-
port at this meeting, reported through
Chairman Williams that the addition to
said school is too far advanced to allow
making necessary changes to introduce
steam-heating at this time; that the hOt-air
flues are already provided for, and that for
these reasons, and in order to lose no time
for it's occupancy, the building be heated
with the present system, the committee
also recommending that the Board adver-
tise for proposals for two hot-air wood or
coal-burning furnaces to be placed in the
new addition.
The report was, on motion of Inspector
Simmon, adopted, and the Secretary d-
rected to advertise accordingly.
The President stated that the services of
Prof. Woodward of st. Louis had been Sc
cured for the delivery of a free lecture on
manual training; that through the lberality
Of members of the chamber of commerce
the necessary expenses therefor had been
covered, and that the sole question to be
settled was the selection of suitable hall,
the assembly room at the High School being
thought too small to accommodate all who
would wish to listen to lecture on this all
absorbing topic by distinguished authority
thereon.
After further expressions of opinion the
matter was, on motion of Inspector Minor,
referred to the Committee on Schools to
make final arrangements. with power to act.
Inspector Williams desired to know in
what manner the Committee Oh Real Estate
was to carry out its instructions to properly
heat the Van Buren, School.
In the absence Of the Inspector of that
school the Secretary (by consent) stated fol-
him that it was desired to simply keep the
present system in as complete repair as pos
sible during tine winter months and that at
forwards the Introduction of the Rutten
system of heating and ventilation, combined
with its dry closet plan, be introduced i'll
this school. Rereferred to Committee Oil
Real Estate.
The matter of employing an assistant to
the Engineer at the High School. the lmmt
date necessity therefor having been shown,
| was referred to the Committee on Fuel and
Janitor and Inspector Ellis for prompt ac-
| ton and future confirmation by the Board.

CUMBERLAND, Wis, Dec. 14.-The city
of Cumberland is situated on the Chicago
st. Paul. Minneapolis & Omaha railway, in
the northwest part of Barron county, on an
island in Beaver Dam lake, beautiful
sheet of water seven miles in length. 1t is
a thriving business place of about 2, 900 in
habitants, and has large amount of pine
and hardwood timber tributary to it. The
manufacture of hardwood timber will sue
coed that of pine, and the large surrounding
agricultural district, the richest in the
county will cause it to be an important
point after the timber has disappeared.
Cumberland is the largest city in Barron
county and the most important station on
the line of the North Wisconsin road. 1t
has numerous substantial business blocks.
some of which would be an honor to city
of many times its size. The inhabitants
and business men are liberal, Open-handed
set, and are building up good business
center. having flourshing religious and ed
ucational institutions. Hay river, a mag
nifcent motive power, rises above Cumber-
land and flows through Beaver Dam
lake. The territory surrounding the
city is watered by innumerable small
streams and makes the best farming lands
imaginable. The clearing of the land is
laborious, but usually enough can be re-
allied from the sale OF timber and wood cut
to more than pay for the clearing, and once
cleared is far superior to lands found in the
clearings or Drairies.
There is the best of openings and induce
ments offered for the location of all kinds
of manufactures. such as hub and spoke
factories, stave mills, furniture factories,
sash, door and blind factories, wagon shops
agricultural implement factories and hum
dred and one different industries. as the To-
cation and natural advantages of the city
are without rival. Amy inquiries adj
land Advocate, will be cheerfully answered.

Bessie Chambers Romance.

washington Capital.
We have republished several poems by
Bessie Chandler from the Century and
other magazines, for she is one of the most
charming of our poets. Those who admire
her verses will be interested to know that
bessie Chandler is Mrs. LIE Roy Parker,
OF Flint, Mich, the wife of young farmer
of that place, who is one of the regents of
the Michigan university. Their marriage
was the denouement of pretty romance.
She was New England girl, and her nom
de plume was her maiden name. When
Mr.. Parker was college student he read
her poems and addressed a letter to her.
which was forwarded through the editor OF
the magazine in which they appeared. She
answered it, and after correspondence of
several months he met her at one of the
New England watering places, where ac-
Quaintance ripened into courtsliip, and re-
suited in marriage. She is the daughter of
Commodore Ralph Chandler of the Brook
lyn navy yard.
