The first banquet of the Old Settlers
Association at the head of Lake Supe-
rior was held at the Nicollet House
formerly known as the Superior, the
Avery and the kuykendalD at Supe-
rior on Wednesday the ninth instant.
The association is composed of men
who came to the head of the lake prior
to 1888 and of those born here now
p years of age. About one hun
dred members, besides number ofin-
vited guests, were present, and royal
good time was had.
The delegates from Duluth accom-
panied by the Glee Club, arrived on
the steamer Free Trade at two o clock
and were met at Quebec Pier by the
Superior members and the Superior
Cornet band. A procession was then
formed by President Stuntz, which
headed by the band, took up the fol-
lowing line of march: First street to
Becker avenue, along the avenue to
Second street, down Second street on
the easterly side to Thompson avenue
then up Second street on the westerly
side to Hollinshead avenue and to
the hotel. The pioneers are without
exception healthy. sturdy intelligent
looking body of men. The twenty
eight or thirty years of residence here
have apparently dealt very kindly
with all of them.
The names Of those who participate
ed in the first reunion are as follows:

-Messrs. President Gilmore and II.

week to inspect our new poorhouse.
In their report according to the State
Journal, they say that our poorhouse
SIS built more for external appearances

intended" We do not pretend to be

know that those having the work OF
construction in charge aimed to make
the internal arrangements all that

We do not know that any of our
boys rob birds nests, but we do know
that many of them delight IN killing
the birds with stones, sings and ar
rows, or other devices. They must
know that this is all wrong, but do
they know there is a state law provid-
ing punishment for the act. For
their enlightenment We quote the
following statute touching the matter:
Section 1867. r. S. provides that
any person wantonly killing or injur-
ing any insect-devouring bird, or de
stroying the nest or eggs of any such
bird, shall be punished by fine not
exceeding fifteen dollars.

In looking oyer West Superior
last Saturday with the church trustees,
We visited the private grounds of Gen.
Hammond. He has ten acre tract
which he Is putting in a state of civil
ization and high culture, by fencing
blowing, seeding, setting out trees, an
elegant strawberry bed, etc, and lay
ing the foundation of an elegant and
comfortable home in which to spend
his declining years. The General
may have his faults and eccentricities
and who of US has not-but he has
nevertheless done an immense amount
of work in West Superior, for all of
which he should have full credit. He
has laid the foundations of the new
town broad and deep on which the
future metropolis of the Northwest
may stand secure.

IN GOOD CONDITION.

Farmers Satisfied at the Prospect for
Winter Wheat, Which They Consider to
BE % Bright One.
CHICAGO, Feb. 15.-Special dispatches to
the Tribune from twenty-three points iii
Illinois show that the condition OF the win
ter wheat is tlattering, to say the least.
The slrow, except in one or two localities,
appears to be all off the ground, and
the only danger apprehcnded is from al
ternate freezing and thawing, and this
ls not very great in the opinion OF
the farmers and those in a posi-
ton to know. The instances OF dam
age to wheat by the previous cold weather
are comparatively few and thelossls slight.
Thirteen points in Indiana, with three ex-
captions, show that the yields promised are
good; three localities report that there
was some damage by cold weather where
the snow had drifted and left the ground
bare. Reports from Kansas are Hat
tering, though a Kansas City dis
patch says the wheat crop in that State
is not i'll as good condition as ie rep
resented. A Topeka correspondent, how
ever, says the wheat suffered no damage
during the cold weather, and that the har-
vest will be a fine one. Missouri and
Dakota are satisfied with the outlook,
though near Kansas City, in the former
State, the crop is not so good as it might
be. In Iowa those points which have re-
ported show an encouraging situation,
though around Keokuk there are some
fears for the future.

RETAIL DEALERS PROFITS.
The Results of II Stltistician's Investiga-
ton OF This Subject.

The Results of II Statistician's Investiga-
ton OF This Subject.
1t is often stated and generally be-
l!eved that the prices charged by re-
tail dealers in various lines of trade are
excessive. This view is shared by the
public, and writer's on economies some
times advance the same opinion, based,
as they claim, upon the difference be-
tween the wholesale and retail prices
paid for goods, such as groceries. meats,
dry goods, etc. Some go so far as to
affirm that the most grinding monopo-
lies are not the so-called great institu-
tlons OF systems or corporations, but
rather the retailers who make it so ex-
pensiye to live by their high rates for
various articles of household consump-
ton.
However this may be, a statistician
has been investigating the subject and
calls attention to several points Of in
terest which arc set forth in the AMeri-
can Grocer of a recent date. Attention
is directed to the value of the service
demanded Of the retailer, its cost
and risk, and a comparison is
suggested between these and the invest
ment OF the time and money of the
banker, the manufacturer, the profess
slonal man and persons employed in the
civil service. 1t is contended that the
gross profits of a retail grocer average
the country over not above sixteen per
cent, OF which eight per cent. is re-
quired for the cost of the service. This
is avcrred to be particularly true in the
larger cities, as shown in the increased
cost of supplying rich families over
poor ones, involving palatial stores, ed
ucated clerks, calling for orders, deliv-
erlng goods a greater variety of the
stock OF luxuries, etc. And attention is
directed TO the bulk of the retailers trade
being made up of per,shable goods, such
as dairy products, eggs, poultry, fish,
vegetables, fruits, etc, while the staples
are sold at cost or nearly cost, and the
profit must come in somewhere else. or
on the fruits, spices, fancy groceries and
Injuries generally.
1t is held that the retailers capital
and labor yield an income much below
what is received for asimilar investment
VI 'lAiic III iiio'lcy III allHOSG any other
reputable trade or calling. The state.
ment is made that the sales of
II majority of the retail grocers
in large cities will not reach
$50, 900 a year. If his net profit is eight
per cent, based on the cost of the goods.
his income would, on that amount of
sales, be 5000, out of which he must
live, meet bad debts, keep up and in
crease his business, etc. It is shown by
this shrewd statistician that a dealer who
sells 10000 of goods a year has an in
come OF 1928, which is equal to the sal
airy of a chorus girl in an opera COM
pany; if lie sells $15, 900 worth his in
come is the same us that Of policeman;
and if he should do a business of $50.
600 a year he will have u salary equal to
that OF a French cook.--M Chicago Inter-
