Resolutions Adopted.

At a meeting of the citizens of the
East End of the city of Superior, held
at the Office of the Euclid Hotel. Oct
ober %, 1891, the following resolutions
, were unanimously adopted:
Be 1t resolved by the people of the
East End of the city of Superior in
mass meeting assembled, that it is the
sense of this meeting that the harOor
commission of the city of Superior
have acted wisely and conseryatively
in regard to the petition for harbor i'm,
provenent presented to them, and
that their report should have been ap-
proved by the city council, and that
the effect OF the refusal of the council
to approve the report is detrimental to
the best interests of the East End Of
the city;
Resolved further, that we are advis-
ed by able and respectable council
that the legislation known as the Har-
Dor Law is we'll conceived and safe
measure, and we believe that I'M
der its provisions the harbor of the
east end may be improved at the ex-
pense of the property to be benefited
without prjudice to the other parts of
the city and without taxing persons or
property not directly interested;
Resolved further, that the people of
the east end are determined to be no
longer controlled i'll their public actions
by the re-actionary party in our midst
and that with consent of q proper
majority of those directly interested
in the harbor at the east end shall be
in some way speedily improved at the
expense of the property to be benefit
ed, and that we cannot think and do
not believe that when the matter shall
be made clear and Thoroughly under
stood by the common council that that
body will arbitrarily thwart our efforts
or do anything to prevent such improve
rent;
Resolved further, that the thanks of
the people of the east end of the city
of Superior are due, and are hereby
rendered to Aldermen OHare and
Morrisette for their loyalty to their
constituents and the ability with which
they defended the harbor law against
the strong opposition brought to bear
against it by those opposed to improve
ment at the east end.
Resolved further, that copy of
these resolutions be sent to the city
papers for publication.

WHITE BIRCH, Oct, IS, 1891
The weather is fine at present. The
nights are cool but the days are warm
and everybody is preparing for deer
hunting when the season opens.
Felix Lord is building a new add
ton to his residence.
Our Professor Tice is now the champ
ion poker player in this section of
country, and now wears the belt.
a. w. Nevin's new hotel is now
opened to the public. We hope he may
be well patronized as he is in every
respect first class landlord.
Deer are very plentiful in this sec
ton of the country this season and a
large number of sports will visit this
place when the season for the slaugh-
tcring opens.

How TO Select a Turkey.

In this country only is turkey
found in a Will state. 1t is very fit
ting, therefore, that in the Thanksgiv-
ing dinner that it should be the princi-
pal dish, writes Maria Parloa in her
department in The Ladies' Home
Journal. The turkey must be wisely
chosen, well cook ed and wisely served.
1t should be short and plump. the
meat white with some fat, the legs
black and smooth; and if there be
spurs they should be short The end
of the breast bone should be flexible,
more like gristle than bone. \ turkey
that is long in proportion to its size,
and has dark or blush flesh, may be
tender, but certainly viii not be fine
~ favored and juicy. \ dry picked
turkey Will be found to have much
better favor than scalded one. All
poultry that is dry picked costs few
cents pound more than the scalded
but is well worth the extra price.

False PrctantiOns.

To hear the man who has So prompt
" killed the attempt made by our peo-
pie to improve our bay front talk, one
would suppose they sat up nights de-
vising ways and means for at once do
ing the work proposed by the harbor
commission, and more than this, it is
to be done without cost. This they
say, was the worst feature of the har-
Dor commission, the law provided that
the men who were responsible for the
wo:k under them was to receive some
compensation. Alderman Frey says
this was his main objection to the law.
Now if Mr.. Frey is honest in his posi-
ton why does he not object to other
extravagant items, The school board
employs All attorney at 81, 800 year
but MIR. Frey does not object. The
same board employs a Secretary at
$1,000 a year, but Mr.. Frey nor any
one of his alder'nanic associates raises
no word of objection. Last year the
office of city engineer cost us $s6, SN. p
fully $4,000 more than it ought to
Coz t city if this size. but these gen.
tlemen allow the bill without whim-
pr. THIS same body of men allow
an estimate of $4,000 for city officials
he ensuing year, and this does not in
c'ude the police, fire department nor
clerks, and yet no word of opposition
is raised to this outlandish tax thrust
upon the people. Hence we see this
cry of economy is all bosh and unworthy
the men who raised the point. We
have more respect for Mr.. Tanning,
who in representing the bosses, the
Land Il River Improvement Co.,
plainly says that it is an unnecessary
improvement and SO should be killed.
He don't raise the question Of expense.
IIes knows lie would be laughed at if
he did. lie simply says in effect that
the Improvement of the water front
and development of our resources at
this end of the city would be detrimen-
tai to the interests of the West end
in general and his company in particu-
lar, hence it is better to kill the pro-
iect under the head Of being unneces-
sary Improvement. Mr. Tanning com.
eS out and says what he means, the
others try to hide their shame under
the cloak of economy.

The Darker-Stanford case which
has been before the municipal and Cir
cult courts for the past ten days came
to close last Wednesday evening.
Capt. Barker and most of his wife's
relatives tried to make it appear that
Stanford had assaulted the Barker
homestead in general and Capt. Barker
in particular with view to providing
a stiff for a irSt-claSS funeral. Stan
ford is the second husband of Mrs
Bankers mother, and it was to see his
wife that Stanford visited the Barker
mansion, where an alteration ensued
between the two men, when in self
defence Stanford drew revolver
which was taken away from him be-
fore any use was made of it. The jury
in Judge Marshall's court took the
matter under advisement and found
the defendant guilty Of a plain assault
and he got this principally on the
ground that Capt. Barker had pre-
viously warned and forbidden him to
visit his house. The judge sentenced
him to nine months in the county jail.
\ pretty severe sentence, it seems to
us, for simple assault.

a caboose be attached to the switch
engine which goes to the East End at
5:45, and that an engine and caboose
be sent to the East End at noon, and

Mr. E. D. Atherton Of Syracuse,
n. Y, the gentleman who is contemp-
lating building a large barrel factory
at this end of the city, was here dur
ing the past week looking over the
sites and examining into the quantity
and quality of the hard wood suitable
for that purpose which is tributary to
this city. We understand that IN all
these respects he was highly pleased
with what he found, and his report to
his associates in the east will lie fav-
orable to this location, and it is more
than likely that the barrel factory will
be an established fact in the early
spring.
