] has not lost his inter est in Eagle Rive,
and desires the REVIEW sent him that
he may keep posted as to how things
were going.
Geo. Thompson, who has been
spending the last three weeks in Nil
/ Waukee TO have his eye treated by q
specialist, returned home Friday We
are very sorry to say that the occulist.
DR.. Snider, was unable to save the eye.
His general appearance shows that he
had very hard time of it. He lost
over fifty pounds in weight in the
three weeks.
IS. A. Bangert has purchased the
Mcconnell Bros. store building on Wall
street and will move his stock of boots
and shoes into it in about two weeks.
! We understand that the consideration
was seven hundred and fifty dollars.
He intends doing off the rear end for a
residence AS the building is about
eighty feet long it will still leave him
plenty Of room for his store.
The repeal senators, alter session
lasting tllirtyeight hours, gave up the
ATTEMPT to force vote on the repeal
OF the Sherman law. Leading demo-
cratic senators are trying to patch up
q compromise which their party can
unite on, but the difference in opinion is
so marked that the task is difficult one
but is thought that they will be able to
agree upon something before the week
is out
District Attorney Colman left,
Tuesday. for Rhineland to attend the
circuit court. He has two cases OF i'm
portance to this town and county to
look after. One is the Town VS. Brace
for license money for selling goods as
transient merchant, and the other is
the mandamus proceedings to compel
NJ. Holland, county treasurer OF Oneida
county, to pay to Villas county the de-
linquent tax on the sale last spring.
The public will await the outcome in
both these eases with q good deal OF
curiosity.
Although it does not look, at pres
ent, as though there would be as much
logging done in this vicinity this win
ter as common, still there will be con-
siderable. The Gerry Lumber Co
have two camps in now and expect to
put in another soon. The Scott Lum-
Der Co. of Merrill, are operating two
camps near Conover. Beers & Brazell
have @ crew in near ST. German. Robt
Stewart has one camp at work at Buck
ataubin. Hunter & O'Connor have be-
gun operations. Sampson & Daily, of
Gland Rapids, expect to go in soon.
The Underwood Lumber Co. will do
some logging. O. W. Avery & co. ex-
pect to have q crew in, and probably
some others.
We think the times are hard here
but t is nothing to what they are
suffering Oh the range. The situation
of the unem ployed at Hurley is be-
coming seriou Bread riots hav cal
ready occurred and the authorities are
at a loss how to provide for the many
miners from the Gogebic range. At
least 500 men in the vicinity OF Hurley
are out of employment. In the town
Of Vaughn a special election will be
held to vote on the question OF raising
money to feed the unemployed. AT
Iron Belt the situation is alarming'
fully 100 men being penniless and with
out work. A bread rot was only
ayerted by the authorities adopting
pacific measures and caring for many
families
Dan Turk who has been building
the summer residence and boat house
for Il. Bradel has it completed. 1t is
one of the finest, il not the finest, quilt
building in town. No expense has
been spared. Maple flooring was
used throughout and the whole build
ing is done in hardwood with hard
oil finish. The painting and decorat-
ing was done by A. Knox ard is the
finest Job in town. The building,
though not very large, has cost about
six thousand dollars. Mr.. Bradel has
purchased the Bisbee watch and Mr.
Turk has just begun building boat
house for it, This building is also to
be Il good one. 1t is to be - 40 OF
col.rogated iron and is to be built
along side OF the one just completed.
