ana IL Is possible that neither may be
used. 1T is safe to say that the actions
Of the city in its purchase is clearly IL
legal, and already is that action made
the basis of several tax suits, and it is
not likely that the Regents will want to
put such a building upon grounds OF
questionable title.
The site bought by the county is by
far the best site in every conceivable
respect, and costs the people about one
halt as much as the other. But as the
local regent stands in with the Land {,
River improvement Company, he will
no doubt recommend and vote for the
first named site This site lies in the
mud hole just opposite the street car
barn on Belknap, and would make a
much better hog wallow than school
grounds.
The South shore people are setting
fine example for other roads to fol-
low. Their depot grounds consist of
half block lying between Becker and
Nettleton avenues. After making a
good graveled driveway all about the
depot they have ditched the grounds,
plowed and dragged it until it is smooth
and level, and will seed most of it and
put out flowers and shrubs, and about
the whole row of maple trees, and in
a few years they will have a beautiful
little park. Surely in some things at
least, the blarsted Englishman holds
away over the stingy, grasplng Ameri-
can. 1t shows they appreciate the gifts
of the people in rights of way, travel
and business, and wished to do a little
something in return. The American
hog gobbles the right of way and all
other favors without so much as
thank YOU" and kicks you because
You do not do more for him.
The city council had no time to
look after the honor and dignity of the
city at its session Tuesday night, but 1t
found time to perpetrate another fraud
upon the taxpayers by appropriating
500 of the public money Tor the sup
port of Frank \. Flower. 1t was done
under the cover of being for the pur-
pose of buying stamps, envelopes and
stationery for the use of that public
charge while attending a deepwater-
ways convention to be held in Cleye-
land some time in the future, and done
at the suggestion of Mr.. Flower him
self. This is an outrage on the public.
Every time Mr.. Flower gets hard up he
appeals to the county or city for an
and he gets it.
Tuesday evening a row boat in the
hands of John Chisholm who was
bringing the Misses Lydia and Bessie
Tubbs and Miss Britton from Minnesota
Point, got caught in squat and was
driven upon log boom in Superior
Bay, and came near being wrecked.
Fearing the boat would be pounded to
pieces the young ladies jump ed from
the boat to the logs, and it is a great
wonder they were not all lost by falling
between them as they were rolled and
tossed by the waves. Mrs. Stoves
Eliza crossing the Ohio on the cakes Of
ice was nothing compared to the scene
on the logs Tuesday evening.
The members of the Junior League
of the Methodist church, East End,
gave an ice cream entertainment on
Wednesday evening of last week, OF
which we very carelessly neglected to
make mention in our issue of last Sat
urday, for which we humbly beg par
don of the little people. 1t was grand
success, the ice cream and cake being
very fine, and the receipts, although it
did rain, was a little over SO. The
little boys and girls of this society are
raising fund of $50, for missionary
work, of which amount they are still SO
short Guess they will have to give
another social.
Tie bicycle club Of the city petit
toned the county board to construct
for It's own personal use, path leading
from Superior to Carlton. The county
board should not lose 4 moment in
complying and constructing this path,
for there Is no doubt whatever that the
salvation of this city and county de-
ponds upon the unallOyed enjoyment
of our bicycle cranks The farmers can
pack their crops to market as hereto
fore and thus get along withour roads
for few years longer. But our bicycl-
lists and their handsome white shirts
should he provided for at once.
The daily press and good many
other people have been calling for an
investigation Of the numerous charges
preferred against our Mayor, and il
was confidently expected that the
council would take some action in the
premises At its meeting Tuesday even
ing. But the Mayor seems to have the
council on the hips along with the
other branches Of his Official family,
and not peep was heard. 1t seems to
be one Of those cases of scratch my
back while | tickle your belly, and the
business still continues at the old stand
