At the late assembly convention
held at Bayfield, the motion prevailed
to appoint an Assembly District Com
mlttee. to consist of one member from
each county and one member at large
to act as chairman. The committee
appointed is as follows; s: E. Tubbs
from Douglas Co II l.. Mccormick
from Sawyer Co., w. III. Cantley from
Washburn Co, III. IIannum from Bay
field Co., q. \. Oleson from Burnett
Co, VIM O'Nell from bayfield, county
Tas apn0i,ttet chairman and member
at Large.
Mr.. Tubbs, who is always on the
lookout for an opportunity to say or
do something for Superior, then NOV
ed that the next convention be held at
Superior, and as he gave a few pun
gent re,sops why the convention
should be held at superior, his motion
was carried without a dissenting voice
One thing is mighty certain and that
is if the people OF this district elect
NJ Tcbhs to the assembly, as now
seems very pffabable, they will elect a
man whe VIII be ever watchfu1 of
their interests. And he is not a mar
rowminded man either, bat he can
scan the horizon of the eI.tire district
and VIII watch all interests with equal
care and earnestacSs. This cannot be
said of Mr.. Mead, his opponent.

1t makes little difference how dark
ard dreary ones life may be, the sun
shines through at times and we have
moments Of real enjoyment. One OF
these seasons overlook us Thursday
afternoon when in going into the
Land cdn,raity's Office we confronted
Mr.. James Thompson, of Lanesboro,
IN Southern Minnesota. Mr.. Tht,nt-
son and the writer male two of the
pioneer settlers of Lanesboro some
twenty years ago We left the town
after soiourn of about three years.
but Mr.. Thompson having greater in
terests there remained, and this was
our first meeting in about seventeen
years. Most of this time Mr.. Thomp
son has engaged in tie milling bus
ness, giving his attention the past few
years to the manufacture of oat meal
entirely. During the foods of the
past Spring his dam was washed out
and his mill suffered considerable.
damage and he has decided not to re-
build there, and is now out on pros
pecting tour for a new Locations, ard IS
taking in Superior with other points.
He is very enthusiastic over our town
and prospects, and we are of the opin-
ion that we shall soon be able to num-
Der him amorg our solid business men.

return than had been anticipated. 1t
is impossible at present to give the re-
ceipts, but they will be in the neigh
borhood of $500. The Ladies and the
Young Ladies society, upon whom fell
the brunt of the work, are entitled to
great credit for the success achieved.

An alarm of fire was sent in at about
200 o'clock this Friday morning to
which the department made a heroic
effort to respond, but thanks to the
miserable policy of our city in making
street improvements, the trucks got
stuck in the mud and could not get to
the fire. Tile contractors have got all
our streets torn up, plowed, ditched,
etc, in such a condition that you can
not drive a heavy team two blocks III
any one direction with any degree of
safety to say nctl.iitg about speed.
The men and boys who had the cour-
age to attempt to wade through the
mud and bitches, after hard struggle
got to the scene of the contlagration
and found 1t to be the Revere House,
located on lower Second street, being
the property of Mr.. J. d. Robe The
house was built in 1882 for hotel pur-
poses when people were SO foolish as to
suppose that the Northern Pacific
company was going to do something
for the development of the town i'll
stead Of holding back and using its
position and influence to kill the place.
Of crrrse under the circumstances it
never amounted to anything as hotel,
bat it made a fine home for Mr.. Robe
up to few months ago when he moved
into his new residence on Nemadji
Heights, since which time it has been
a tenement house. About a week ago
enc family moved out SO that there
was but one family, Mr.. Street and
wife, IN the building when it burned.
All household effects were removed
from tie n6;iSe without damage and
the loss is confined to the building
alone which had {: cash valuation of
about 5000. We understand Mr..
Robe carried insurance OH the build
ing 10 half Or tWO-thirds its value.
The origin of the fire is unknown.

We would like to knC1S what sense
there is in our board of public works
continuing tolet contracts for grading
paving, etc, when there is SO much
such work now III hand and all in a
half-iinished condition. Aside from
Tower avenue, it is almost impossible
to drive team in any part of the city.
Why in the name Of suffering human
ity, does not the board see to it that
some of the contracts already let are
completed. Contractors are spending
good time hunting up excuses for not
going ahead with their work. Last
Monday, when it was raining, ana
half completed buildings by the score
threatened with destruction, we heard
one Wishing that it would rain just
like this for the next thirty days
lie did not care who suffered OF how
much money was lost. if he could only
find an excuse for not doing his work
this fail. For Gods sake, gentlemen
of the board, do not tear up any more
streets until you repair some already
torn up.
