The following which we clip from

The following which we clip from
the Bayfield, Press is SO applicable to
our city, we cannot refrain from
quoting it, although it treats of sub
ject we have often spoken on before.
Read il! Q, We city fathers, and
mediate upon duties unperformed:
WAS the city built for the COW?
Or was the COW built for the city,?
Were our sidewalks built for cattle
paths and our streets graded for pas
lures; were our bridges built for sta
Die yards? If the city was built for
the COW, all right; we have nothing
more to say. II the COW was created
to be the servant OF man, as would
seem to accord with the scriptures,
then she should keep her place. That
place III the estimation of the Spy is
not the sidewalk or the public streets.
In this classical city the walks are
absolutely unfit, in some places, for
ladies to walk over. Just why this
condition Of things exists would be
hard to explain. Certainly the vast
ness of our dairy interests is not such
that the COW is kink-or queen-of the
realm, neither is the keeping of a COW
so Improbable as to render such
privileges necessary to encourage the
industry. That there is no fenced
pasturage is true; that there should be,
no one can doubt. There could be no
better Investment for parties owning
lands adjacent to the city than to fence
them, clear and seed such portions as
are not covered with valuable timber
and pasture the same. Were their
good fenced pasturage the larger por-
ton Of those owning COWS would per
fer to pay for there pasturing rather
than hunt the woods for them. Let
us look, also, at the justice Of the case.
About one family III six keeps a COW.
Five must suffer annoyance and
damage that one may reap the profit
OF keeping COW without cost Five
must distigure their yards and gardens
that one may pasture his COW III the
street. Let US take up the question in
earnest. Let us try ard have our
walks in such shape that a lady can
travel them without repugnance.

A notable innovation on time honored
customs will be made at the annual ban
quet of the Army of the Tennessee in
Cincinnati. Ladies are invited to the
banquet, and Will sit in their places
among the brave army veterans. At the
head Of the table will preside that gay
old boy, Gen. Sherman, whose gallantry
in peace has been, in different way, no
less renowned than it was in war. The
old general likes the innovation.

Editor Halstead has observed during
this trip to Europe that the lessons we
Just now want to learn from the Old
World are those of forest preservation,
and the prevention of land washes along
the banks of streams by shrubbery
planting. Trees line the banks of water
courses, and the soil is carefully pre-
served by the cultivation of grasses.

From the Pepin Star.


We took supper at Spooner and than
rolled on towards the head of the lakes
over the Omaha road while we slept
When we awoke at Superior the next
morning we were disguested to find
that the fine weather which had been
with us so far had gone and that we
were in for wet day. However, We
were not party to murmur 1T one
drawback when so many good things
we're falling to our lot, and when car
Tiages were provided for the ladies and
we were all escorted to the Euclid for
breakfast, the disagreeable weather
seemed to be forgotten in the enjoy
ment of good things furnished by that
excellent hosiery. The fact that there
were over two hundred of US did not
seem to make any difference in the
arrangements or trOule the host in the
least and everything went on as
smoothly as though the little matter of
a few hundred people dropping in to
breakfast was daily occurrence.
After breakfast we strolled about
between showers until 10 O'Clock,
when we took passage on the fine ex-
crTsion steamer Plowboy for a trip
around the bay, which forms the
greatest natural harbor of the inland
seas. During the trip we saw the
largest dock in America and ether
large docks, some of them not vet
completed the largest elevator plant
in the world, and Gige second largest
single elevator in the world After
viewing the substantial sights that
could be seen from the bay we We're
landed at the West End and taken to
the West Superior and Tower hotels,
where ELABORATE dinners were served,
followed by toasts and responses. 1t
is a matter of regret tAlt the bad
weather prevented our seeing the city
as it deserves to been, seen, and as our
desires dictated. Superior is a phen-
ominal city of rapid growth even for
this country of rapid growing cities,
and II IS destined to be the greatest
city Of the state If not of the North
west. Nature has done 4 great deal
for the place and its cnterprisfng
citizens are developing their natural
Resources to their utmost. Three
years ago the city was a town of 800
inhabitants. 1t now lsas a popuhti5n
Of at least 5000 and over S7.G99. coo
worth Of public improvements. Dur
ing the present season its streets viii
be paved and one Of the greatest steel
plants in the country completed.
Among not the least of its attractions
are two $50 600 school houses and three
OF the best hotels in the Northwest.

Eyes from all over Wisconsin are
now turned in the direction of the two
SupeTiors. Inter Ocean.
Two Superiors, how is that? We
have one here in Douglas county, Int
where IS the other Superior" that is
competing with us? We think if
about time the West End people and
papers dropped this double header
business. The West End Land and
River Improvement Company is no
doubt very strong but it is not
strong enough to make t5co cities ont
OF this one town-site, and the sooner
they acquire sense enough to appre
c.ate the fact the better for all con
cerned- There is but one Superior.

Scores of haplesS men and women are
still applying themselves to the civil ser
vice examinations. Only a fourth Of
them pass, and of these only about six
out of hundred secure appointments
Those who are left out, although they
have passed the examination, need not
be wholly without hope. The civil ser
vice certificates will be a proof of their
knowledge, anyhow, and will help them
in getting places elsewhere.

\ correspondent writes from Superb
or to the Pioneer Press Of last Monday
as follows concerning the lake region
as a summer resort and Of what is go
ing on in our city:
There can be no mlstaking the fact
that the Lake Superior region is fast
being recognized as a most desirable
resort for those who wish to escape
from the cities for a few days or
weeks outing during the heated term.
Every year adds to the list of those
who appreciate the beautiful scenery
and climate for which it is noted, and
this season finds the influx of pleasure
seekers surprisingly large in number.
The Brule river, where there is ex
ccllent trout fishing, captures the
greatest number of tourists, and these
usually very the possible monOtony of
an extended stay in the timber by
coasting along the south shore Of Lake
Superior. This is magnificent and the
cool breeZes from the great inland sea
are a constant source Of delight at this
season. There are several parties now
coasting along the south shore, nearly
all Of whom are Eastern people at
tracted here Icy the opportunities
which are offered to the sportsman.
There are those here who recognize
the fact that the natural advantages
offered may be made still more at
tractiye to the tourist by the maintain
ance of hotels designed especially for
the accommodation of the tourist and
located as advantageously as possible to
attract visitors of this class. There is
property on Superior bay which is be-
ing held for this purpose, and the time
is not far distant when elegant hotels
viii give an added charm to the adj
mircrs of Lake Superior region.
GOOD LOCATIONS FOR MANUFAcT-
URERs.
The newly organized land company
of the East END finds itself with plenty
of applications from business men and
manufacturers DESTROYS Of securing
locations. The company is hardly III
shape as yet to take the working inter
est which it will eventually, as it has
not yet decided upon q manager of its
affairs and much time viii yet be oc-
cupied in transferring the large in
dividUal property list of individuals to
the company. 1t is understood, al
though the company is very retic2nt
about giving information, that 1t has
practically closed a deal with an iron
company now doing business in South
ern Ohio, to remove It's plant to this
city. The iron company made over
lures recently to the consolidated land
and in return received a
proposition which it is claimed has been
as accepted. The IRON com
pany sjgnifed its intention to remove
providing dock room could be provided
among other things, ana the location,
which has been designated, is Oh First
street, East End, and Immediately at
the base Of a cOmmodious dock. The
iron company desires to get at the
head Of the lake, where the best ore in
the world can be procured at min
nimun cost and low transportation
for the manufactured products.

From the Reymert.

MT. J. T, Marx, of the Reymert camp came in Saturday evening, and spent yesterday with his old friend William Moore, the iailer, with whom he was at one time engaged in mining in Sonora. Mir, Marx reports the Reymert mine looking better every day, and the work now being done in the mine is develop ing large bodies of high grade ore. The Africa claim was cross cut last week and the ore disclosed is superior to any that has yet been encountered on the property. The America and Africa claims will soon be connected by tun- nel The work of boring the well at the mill is progressing slowly, and trouble has been encountered in the way of boulders.
 MT. Steffey, of Pinal has moved to the mill with his family and opened saloon.
 The stage station has just been com pJeted. Reymert is just half way be- tween Florence and Silver King and the stage changes horses here.
 When the mill again starts up Key inert will be the boss camp in that sec tion.
 This is one of the most orderly camps in the Territory, and this fact is largely due to the superintendent, w. N. StrOhn, who has associated with him a sober and competent corps of assistants. Cap tain Strohn is a!man of large experience in mining and has put this property in excellent shape, and under his guidance the mine will no doubt prove to be all that has ever been claimed for it.

Death of Arthur Earll.

A telegram was received by MT. Earll H. Webb this morning informing him of the sad death of Mr. Arthur Earll, at the latter's home in San Louis Obis2o
 MT. Earll was a former reEi9ent of Tucson and was universally liked and respected. Although he had only reach Jdd U the age of 27 years he had already made name for himself in his proffes- sion.
 MT. Earll moved from Tucson to San Louis Obispo about two years ago and last year was nominated for the office of District Attorney of his county, and elected by over 200 majority.
 A year and half ago he had the mis- fortune to lose his left leg, which was the result of an old injury recieved on the knee.
 This misfortune to his limb was the primary cause of his death.
 To his friends and relatives, and most particularly his mother, we extend our heartfelt sympathy and trust the blow will fall lightly. Mir. Earll was the son of the late Judge Warner Earll-"A worthy son of most noble sire"
