Rev. and Mrs. Wright with their
daughter Eva, made their escape from
their Ashland home for brief vacation
and found a haven Of rest in the quiet
wllds of the upper st. Louis river at
Fond du Lac. During the day of the
grocers picnic they were discovered in
their retreat at the beautiful home of
Mrs. Chambers, and we had a most de-
Ilghtful visit with them. Mr.. Wright
has stayed the tull limit of the law in
Ashland but his future location is I'M
known. Mrs. Christie ard Miss Alice
spent Wednesday with the Wrights at
Fond du Lac and of course had a de-

to take ride upon wagon which was
hltched to another one, and as the
wagons were passing over small
ditch the child was jolted off and be-
fore he could be rescued the wheels
passed over him. He was immediately
picked up and carried in the house and
medical aid was summoned but in Il few
moments after the arrival of DR.. Con-

Grain Inspection. II

The directors and members of the
board of trade of Superior have been
for some time past wrestling with the
problem OF compelling the mills and
elevators here to adopt Wisconsin in
spection for wheat, in lieu of the pres
ent inspection according to Minnesota
rules. 4 spirited d, citing was held at
the board of trade rooms on Wednes-
day evening at which were present
about two hundred citizens and repre-
sentatives of the elevators and most of
the mills in Superior. These latter
change of inspection. a majority of
the directors of the board of trade was
also opposed, but the outside members
and the lobby favored the new inspec-
ton.
The elevator and mill men made
strong pleas against any change at this
time
While the TINES would be glad to see
Wisconsin inspection adopted, if it can
Re done without injustice to any inter
ests here, we are clearly of the opinion
that Its enforcement at this time would
result in great Inconvenience and loss
to the city and TO the fine array Of mills
and elevators that have located here
within the past five years,-plants cost
ing in the whole not less than $4,000, 900,
and tCwhich We always point with the
greatest of pride. We say, as some Of
our citizens said at the meeting, let
these Industries determine for them
selves which inspection is for their in
terest; let us not NEEDLE with their
business plans; their capital and not
ours is interested; if they suffer, we
suffer; their prosperity is ours. 1t is
certainly, to say the least the rankest
kind of presumption for any citizen,
however we'll meaning he may be, to
intermeddle in this great business in
dustry of Superior, supporting, Mr..
Hurd of the Daisy mill estimates, not
less than 5000 persons, especially citi-
zens who have not q dollar invested in
these enterprises. Such socialism
should be frowned upon by all sensi-
bic people. Under the guise OF aiding
Superior these az tators are liable to
irreparably injure the good name and
fame of our fair city.

Laid to Rest in Duluth.

The remains o the late Robert Nc
Gregor Todd, who was accidently shot
in Los Angeles recently were brought
to Duluth for interment by his daughter
Miss Helen. The remains were buried
Friday last and Miss Todd returned
west on the night train. As yet no new
developments in the investigation re-
garding the death have been found.
And it is quite likely that a decision
in accordance with first reports will
have to be satisfactory
