Mrs. Hayes, Plan Adopted.

The Douglas county auxiliary COM
mittee of the Worlds Fair, held a
meeting last Tuesday to consider the
style of window which is to go into the
Wisconsin building at III. fair Mrs.
Hiram Hayes sucg asted that the coun-
ty board be requested to advertise in
this county for plans and representa-
tions of certain Industries or of any
thing which would beautify and render
attractive the window, and for the ac-
cepted plan pay the originator 500.
The suggestion was adopted and COM
missioner II. S. Butler instructed to
bring the matter before the board at
its present sitting. The commission
ers will no doubt do as desired

Several of the leading citizens of the
Town of Brule were before the county
board yesterday to discuss the question
of dividing that town. The petition
asking tor the division set forth that
the town was eighteen miles from east
to west and contained 800 sections of
land; also that the population was
grouped in two distinct settlements,
one at Poplar and the other on the
Brule river, about twelve miles apart.
The proposed division was along the
north and south center line of range
II, and it was proposed to call the
eastern end Amnicon. The matter
was referred to committee of three
consisting of Bensgtrom, Clymer aud
Desmond, who will look into the mat
ter and report at an early date.

One thing that ought to be secured
for this end of the city this season is a
good public hall. 1t is a disgrace to
everyone here that with all our boast
ed enterprise we have not a place to
hold even small ward caucus in, to
say nothing of one large enough for al!
kinds of public occasions, such as po-
litical meetings, concerts, lectures,
etc. The public will not turn out to a
church to concert or lecture. They
get the idea that it is either some
sectarian or religious discourse or
entertainment that they will hear, and
it matters not how good and renowned
the speaker may be you cannot get a
good audIance to a church to hear him.
And while we are on this subject it
might be well to call the attention of
the district attorney to the fact that a
few years ago the people of Superior
voted for the specific purpose of build
ing such hall the sum of $4,000. The
tax was levied and collected, but never
heard of afterwards, and no hall built.
Would it not be well for Mr.. Murphy
to look this matter up, find out where
the money went to, reclaim it and
have it put to the use for which it was
voteds 1t could not legally be expend-
ed for any other purpose. But whether
built with that money or with some
other, let us have hail.

A City without Houses.

Charley Smith returned from trip
to the Mesaba iron country Thursday
evening. He says the excitement in
that locality is immense, and that so
far as the people go there is already a
city there, but not hOnse yet to be
seen, nothing but few board and
bark shacks. Common lumber sells
for SO per NJ. at the nearest railroad
and it costs IS more to get it out to
the nearest mine eight miles away, as
a team can make but one trip a day
and haul not more than l NJ feet at a
load. A Duluth party is building a
hotel and another rus tler is putting in
a saw mill He says there is plenty of
good property over there and also that
there are many Wild cat schemes
afloat. and the man who buys stock
should not buy as he runs, but that he
should stop and investigate before
he buys

A Correction.

In abiding to the new post Office
just established in this county, in a
late issue of the TIMES, we said the
new office was located -four miles this
side of Poplar whereas it is but two
miles from Poplar TO Midland, where
the new office of Wentworth has been
established. We hear that some of
our good friends out in that neighbor-
hood are holding friend Howard, the
new postmaster, resi- onsible for the
statement made. In justice to Mr..
Howard we will say the error was en-
tirely our OWE. We were under the
impression that the distance was four
miles and did not take the trouble to
look up the facts.

Some three or four weeks since
one John Monks of the West End, ap-
piled to Mayor Pattlson for license
to do scavenger work. The Mayor for
reasons best known to himself, but no
doubt good reasons, declined to COM
ply with the request. The applicant
became importunate and on one oc-
casion went to the Mayors room tax
ing with him other men TO witness his
now demand to be appointed, but still
the Mayor would not. Last Monday
complaint having been duly made,
Judge Marshall issued a writ of per-
emptory mandamus requiring the
Mayor to appear in court at 7:30 last
evening to answer why the said John
Monks should not be appointed night
scavenger in this city. The case was
argued by John A. Murphy for Mayor
Pattison and Alex. Athey for Monks.
The court has not yet decided in the
matter.

MIXED.

mixed" is another extra good num-
Der of the Judges Library, issued by
the Judge Publishing Company. The
popularity of the Library is really
marvellous, the publication being only
two years old, and yet having a larger
circulation than any other monthly
periodical of its kind in the United
States, and it is just such numbers as
Mixed that have brought about this
wonderful popularity. This number
makes one feel that the question of
immigration is not SO very serious as
we are apt to imagine. The Irish. the
Germans, the Italians, and all the diff
ferent nationalities that make our
country stronger, have, for the bright
artist, humorous side. and he pictures
them most pleasantly When one
thinks that tl,irty-two pages and over
eighty pictures can be had in a single
issue of Judges Library, it shows
what vast stride has been taken in
journalism of this sort. Those of our
readers who have not secured copy
should at once secure one from their
newsdealer; or, better yet, subscribe
for the Library through us for one
year.

The Nemadjl Site Takes the Elevator.

The .eader of this morning contains
the following item, which if true, will
be gratifying news to all our readers.
1t says:
"E. D. c. Shortridge, president of
the North Dakota farmers alliance,
has written Edward Kennedy letter
of much Importance to the city. Mr..
Kennedy said: The letter states that
the alliance has accepted the PROPOSE
ton for an elevator site offered by the
Consolidated Land company on Ne
madji Point, on the Nemadji river.
Stock is being subscribed. The Red
River valley farmers are anxious to
place wheat in the elevator before
ninety days. North Dakota farmers
will begin to thresh in thirty days.
Then wheat will roll towards Superior
in train loads
With this elevator and the Daisy
roller mill in operation the milling and
grain problem for Superior will be for
ever solved.

The Young Woman Wins q Quarter
Section.

Hattie Knicklebine, who was one of
the women in the rush line" at the
Ashland land Office, has had her title
to the southwest quarter of 1919 con-
firmed The settler on the land she
filed on was E. II. Taylor. He tried
to have her entry cancelled on the
grounds that as settler he had a prior
right to make an entry. Taylor died
and his son Daniel Taylor carried on
the case. He was represented by A.
f. Dixon and presented his evidence
Dec. s, 1891. Hattie knicklebine was
i'll at Ironwood at that time and did
not present her testimony until Jan.
9, 1892. Col. y. B. Wharton was her
attorney. The decision is to the effect
that Taylor was not bonafide settler
and therefore the entry of Hattie
knicklebine should not be cancelled.

Hawthorne Blossoms.
EEITOR TINES:

EEIToR TINES:
Reports have been going around for
some time to the effect that genuine
live and unusually large panther was
providing about this neighbot.ood seek
! ing something to devour, but no par
ticuiar attention has been given these
rumors, until last Sunday evening.
| Sunday afternoon Mr.. Thomas Wild
er, of Hawthorne, started out to go
down to Bennet's Siding, perhaps to
see his best girl, and when he had got
about one mile south of town, this YER
liable large and live panther sprang
over the roadside fence and crossed
the railroad track but short distance
! in front of him, and disappeared in the
brush. According to Mr.. Wilder's de-
scription of him the animal was about
the size of full grown OK, and al
though man of unquestioned cour-
age, he turned tail" and broke the
record on the home stretch, forgetting
all about his girl. having no other de-
fence than a good sized rock and his
trusty jack knife.
After Mr.. Wilder had related his ex
perience to an excited and eager audi
ence, Messrs. Thomas Holinger and }.
?. O'Shea, two of our bravest braves,
got their guns and went out to where
the panther had crossed the railroad,
but he had left for parts unknown and
could not be found, but there was good
evidence of his having been there, as
his tracks, almost as large as horses
track, were plainly seen.
On Monday morning a number of
our local sports armed themselves and
went in pursuit of the big game but
failed to find him as he had taken to
the swamps where the walking was so
bad they had to discontinue the chase.
On Tuesday morning the panther
again put in an appearance, this time
at the house of Mr.. Charles Maxson,
| one half mile North of town, where
he climbed upon the roof of the house,
and putting his feet on the window
casing, looked IN and took good sur
veg of Mrs. MaXson and the room gen.
orally and again disappeared III the
woods. Mrs. Maxson had good view
of the animal, and she thinks he was
eight or nine feet in length.
verify believe there is whole fam
lily of panthers somewhere near here,
| and l think it would be advisable for
the county Board to place bounty on
them and then, perhaps, some of our
hunters would take some pains to cap
! ture them.
The sleighing here is good. and the
saw logs are rolling in like hailstones
| in thunder storm.
Paving posts, wood, piling and ties
are SO thick that you can hardly get
through the streets.
Yours truly, N.Y..

The opening Of the new Presby-
terrain church and conservation of the
new Episcopal church last Sunday
were two notable and pleasant events
in the history of our town. They are
both very fine buildings and creditable
alike to The city and the societies erect
ing them. Both churches are of the
latest architectural designs, warmed
with furnaces and lighted, one the
Presbyterian, with electricity, the
other with gas, and both provided
with elegant pipe organs of suitable
volume for the respective buildings,
that in the Presbyterian house being
much larger than the other. The Rev.
Bishop Nicholson conducted the con
secratiOn services at the Episcopal
house, and the Rev. A. W. Ringland
of Duluth, preached the opening ser
mon at the Presbyterian church. Both
discourses were able and appropriate,
but our limited space will not allow a
reproduction of them. May abundant
prosperity ever attend both branches
of the living church in their mission Of
saving souls.
