one stormy night, then the floods
which came caused his stone walls to
cave in. Well some of our people
thought it would be doing the neigh
borly act to show their sympathy in
his misfortunes by chipping in a
little all around and give him a little
sympathy of the substantial sort and
the idea was acted upon. Last week
the soliciting committee collected in
the last of the subscriptions, a sum
total of 1921, and turned it over to Mr..
Leamon. The new house is now done
and Mr.. LeamOn has got moved into
! it. In the basement is stock of gro
ceries and the bakery; tie first floor
will be given up to kitchen, pantry and
/ large dining room for first class res
taurant and on the next floor the fam
lily will live. May they prosper in
their new quarters.
Those who have given the matter
no attention would be surprised if
! they would look about little and see
the number of Jews we lave in our
young city. We have probably more
than one hundred, and as general
thing they are of the better and
wealthy class, and they now feel them
selves strong enough to have their
church organization. They have no
house of worship as yet, but Will prob
ably take steps to erect one next sea-
son. In the meantime they will hold
services in Masonic hall, and Rabbi NJ.
Schomar, Of St Paul, has been en-
gagged to minister to them for the pres
ent and he will come here for this pur-
pose in a week or two. :,
-Messrs- freeman & Ruyter are
large millers and grain operators.
They have large elevators along the
! line of the Omaha in Minnesota, and
until recently a large mill at Lacrosse
Recently the mill at Lacrosse was de-
stroyed by fire, and now the company
is looking obout for better location
to rebuild, and, on account of our SUI
perior transportation facilities, they
are looking about our city with view
to coming here. This would be a very
good thing for the East End, ank per-
haps, were the effort made, they could
be induced to locate here. How would
1t do for otr land company to approach
them on the subject? 1t ought not to
cost great deal to secure a Touring
mill.
| Mayor Pattison has received word
from South Dakota that there are hun
dreds of idle men and teams there that
on our public works. The contractors
have been going on the do-little or do
nothing policy all summer, and kept
for an excuse the cry that they could
not get men and teams. OF course no
one has believed them, but here is pos
tive proof to the contrary, and now
let the proper authorities see to it that
the men and teams are hired and the
work put through according to con
tract.
The Forrestal Bros, the heaviest
contractors at the head of the Lakes,
got into financial trouble the forepart
1 of the week. On ednesday, how
ever, their chief creditors met in ST.
Paul cnd after investigating their
affairs gave the company further time,
and additional financial aid was also
secured them, SO that all their street
work was set in motion Thursday
m ,rning, and we are assured that the
work will be pushed through to an
early completion. =
Architect J. r. de Ward is get
ting out the plans for the new hotel
to be built by the Messrs. keaough
! Bros. on the y orthcast corner of
Stinson and Second street. The build
ing Will have a frontage of 12o feet on
Stinson avenue and ID feet on Second
street and will be four stories above the
basement. This will give the house
sixty guest chambers. with excellent
dining room, parlors, offices, etc, and
will be fine ornament to our city. 1t
is such enterprise that make cities.
Miss Butler received a letter from
her father who is on his third trip
around the world, last Monday. He
was then well and in Japan. They
had had rough weather on the water
and for twenty one days were tossed
about at the mercy of the waves, dur
ing which time they never sighted a
vessel, something rather unusual. He
reports very wet weather in Japan, so
in this respect at least, he has not
bettered his condition by leaving Su-
perior.
The Descent building is looming
up in fine shape and will be a thing
of beauty" without doubt, and we
trust a Joy forever" to its owner.
We understand that we are to have,
AS soon as room can be prepared for it :,
4 cool dry goods store located in the
| block. This will be good news for our
lady friends, who have got tired of
| having to send away for everything
they want outside of little cotton
cloth or five cent calico.
! Our former townsman Mr.. Hiram
! Morse who it will he remembered did
a successful business here for some
! time in flour and feed, is now in Sc
attic Washington in the same line of
business he had while here. but he
writes that his health is very poor on
the Pacific slope and talks of returning
to Superior.
