25lst CELEBRATION.

Our Scandinavian citizens celebrated
1he 2olst anniversary of their first SET
liement in this country on last Satnr-
uay IN Duluth and on Sunday ammo
pirate services were held in the city
at " est Superior where a large audi
eace was assembled. Mr.. Cassel, of
Duluth, read portion of the Script
ures and after prayer Mr.. Lewis Ritz
anu Rev. {. j. Collin, of Duluth, ad-
dressed the people, and all who could
understand the language gave express
sions OF the addresses. The music
could be and was appreciated by all it
was excellent as great attention had
Deen given to this part of the program
The singing was by club from Du-
lulh comprising seven gentlemen and
led by Prof. Q. y. OleSon, of Itch
held, Mimi, a fine tenor. The Sean
dlnavlan band, comprising nineteen
pieces and led by Prof. D. lIoalund,
was pleasant surprise as to the prog
ress made. The band is decided sue
cess though only organized this year
and with men who had had no pre-
VlouS instruction, it has reached a
point of proficiency that Superior may
well feel proud of and give generous
support.
Rev. y. p. Monitor, pastor of the
Luthern church, was in charge of the
exercises and made some appropriate
remarks and all who have made his ac-
quaintance know he is a success in his
undertakings as an earnest active
christian worker. The only disap-
pomtment i'll the program was the
illness of the Rev. and Prof. Petre, of
Minneapolis, who was to have deliv-
cred an address in English At the
announcement of his sickness the
English speaking people arose and left
the hall. In this connection we
might quote remark dropped by an
influential Scandinavian: The
Americans fail to join the Scandi-
naylans III their entertainments and
celebrations by their presence, but if
the Scandinavians fail to join in sup
port to the Americans then they, the
Scandinavians, are unamerican. g" This
was noticed Sunday and is worthy of
thought and an effort to correct the
habit, if it may be SO called. We con
graduate our Scandinavian friends
on their success and bespeak more
liberal support from the Americans at
their next celebration, and ourselves
that we are blessed by SO earnest, in
telligent and christian people coming
among us. -

claimed that Bob never participated
IN any lawless act or excursion except
the Northiield affair.

Another Industry Secured.

Mr.. K G. Staples, the South Range
lumberman, being DESTROYS of moving
his plant to Superior, met with our
Chamber of Commerce last Monday
morning and stated his desires and
wants. HIS plant will employ 60 men
as it now stands and the business Will
grow when the increasing demands are
made upon it, and as he was very mod
est in his requests in the matter of as
sistance, a committee of three, consist
ing of Messrs. Roberts, Johnston and
Bardon, was appointed to look at vari-
Gus sites with Mr.. Staples, and see if
they could locate him to his liking.
Since then two sites have been selected
either one of which will be perfectly
satisfactory to Mr.. Staples, and as there
seems to be no reason why the sites
cannot lie secured, we may safely say
the deal is closed, and that Mr.. Staples
and his mill will be with US this fall,

that where a pre-emptor has not made
proof within the time required by law,

some one signing himself Law
yer, says III the Duluth News of yes
terday:
Mr. Hill should understand at the
outset that Duluth is not To he trtied
with. | suggest also that steps should
be taken at once to enjoin the Duluth
wheat inspectors from inspecting any
wheat not in the state of Minnesota
1t is a WelllnoWn legal principal that
state officers have no power, authority
or right to attempt to exercise the
duties of their office outside the limits
of their state, The idea is abslred
that the Duluth inspectors should be
sent over to Superior to aid Jim Hill
to keep wheat from coming to DulGth,
which is justly destined for this place
If our inspectors inspected wheat only
at Duluth where they are appointed to
inspect and where only they have au
thOrity to inspect, instead of charging
extra for wheat brought to Duluth,
Mr. Hill would be compelled to bring
all his wheat here, and Superior people
would pay the extra charge of having
part of it taken back to Superior, The
spectacle Of Dulutn inspectors going TO
Mr. Hills private elevators to inspect
wheat that he Is storing to keep out of
Duluth, is ridiculous. If the people
of Duluth submit to it they deserve
the discrimination that Hill has pre-
pared for them.
We agree with the writer to the
extent that the Duluth graders should
be enjoined from coming to Superior
to grade our wheat The wheat is no
better or worse for such an act whether
done or left lmdone. Why cannot Wis
consin or Superior establish a wheat
grade just as well as Minnesota and
Duluth? We confess that we do not
know much about these matters, and
perhaps it cannot be done.

An OVeresIimat Town.

In the Detroit Tribune of the 9th
inst, we find the following:
Il have been at Duluth for several
weeks said eX-Park Commissioner
Adams. There has been SO much
talk about Duluth's wonderful pros
peritv and the progressive spirit of its
business men that, naturally, L was
surprised to find a one-horse town.
They claim a population of 10000, but
| think 1000 comes nearer the mark.
The only thing metropolitan about
Duluth are its prices for real estate.
My hair stood right on end when |
went back among the hills and gulches
and found Chicago prices talked of i'll
the underbrush. Duluth, in my opin ion,
isn't licensed to become Il big city.
The coming metropolis of the West is
the great city of Detroit

For the benefit of those who say Il
town cannot live and prosper without
the saloon we submit the following eX-
tract from a short write up" of the
city of Oberlin, Ohio, from the pen Of
our brother Price, Of the Hudson Star
ana Times.
"Oberlin also possesses the usual
quota Of business houses, shops, mills,
etc, etc. 10, l beg pardon, the eject
eras are wanting. There is not sa-
loon in all Oberlin; never was and
probably never viii be y saloon
would feel as uncomfortable in ODER
lin as a sinner in Paradise"
And yet Oberlin is most beautiful
city Of Of 1900 resident people, and
each year about 1860 students attend
her institutions of learning. The So
loon is not a necessity to happiness or
worldly success.

Among the announcements of The
Ccat1aY for last year was one of a series
of letters home" from Japan, by the
American artist Mr.. John La Fargo.
The letters have been revised and eX-
banded into a series covering the lands
cape, art, architecture, life and relig; on
of Japan, for which Mr.. La Fargo has
made a great number of illustrations,
and these papers are to be a feature Of
The Century during the coming year.
Mr.. Large's brief paper on japanese
art, published in Mr.. Pumpelly's
Across America and Asia" was one
of the earliest thoroughly appreciatiye
essays on the subject of Japan.

w hear that Il great story is out
on the new postmaster at Barron to the
effect that the mail agent on the 500
noticing the absence of mail from that
point reported it to the superinten-
dent. When it was investigated the
postmaster said he was waiting for
mail enough to fill the bags before he
sent them out We believe the Osce-
ola Nasty would send out an empty
bag. if there was no mail to send, just
to make the agent open it.-pOlk Co,

Ebe Forge ~ Orks.

The West Duluth papers have at last
caught on to the significance of an in
dustry devoted to marine construction
and repair. 1t WAS generally supposed
here that this plant was rot large en-
ouGh to engage the attention Of that
ambitious young city for moment.
The Photographer pays Mr.. Duff high
compliment and laments at the same
time that the plant is lost to " est
Duluth:
"W est Duluth should have made
some effort to have obtained the 10
cation OF these works at this place,
as il viii be an important industry,
and IS headed by one OF the best me
chanics in the country. Mr.. Duff 5
ability as a Zimmerman is UnqUeS-
toned, and he holds recommendations
that entitle him to take high rank
among mechanics"
There is no installing he fact that
the forge works viii very rapidly de
velope into a large and paying industry
and this city and the East End i'll
particular, may congratulate itself in
having not only secured an industry
of this character, but in having secured
one under such capable management
as Mr.. Duff and his associates. 1t is
a fact that we believe few are aware
OF, That c. 5. Barker paid to this com
pany 81 600 for repairs to machinery
last season, and the work was done in
Troy, Ohio. Mr.. Duff stated to an
INTER-OCEAN reporter recently that
he had been watching things at the
head of the lake for the past year. lie
fully realized that he must remove
his plant there or someone else would
put in a similar industry, and thereby
cut off his rapidly growing business
from this pOint.-Inter-O Ocean.
