There is now good sidewalk from
! ltasca to Superior, and " scorchers" are
putting it to good advantage
The Roman Catholic inhabitants of
this place. many of whom are unable
to attend service in Superior, are max
ing move to have sevices held here.
1t seems reasonable that they should
succeed.
Allouez beach is becoming quite an at
/ traction since the sidewalk was COM
pleted. 1t certainly has Its charms and
together with the islands in the bav,
would make a beautiful public resort.
"Allouez Park - would sound we'll.
The Ladies' Aid Society of the NJ. F..
church gave an ice cream social in the
Maccabecs hall last Wednesday even
ing at which most of the villagers were
present ana all enjoyed themselves.
The receipts amounted to about SD.
The painters are behind in complet-
ing the dwellings Intended for the rail
way officers. and as 4 result the latter
have not been able to leave Spooner as
soon as expected. The houses will not
| be AL painted alike, each tenant having
the privilege of choosing his colors, and
the many different shades will present
quite pleasing picture.
The work of grading and laying side
walks is progressing rapidly and there
will soon be a good graded road be-
tween here and Superior. Contracts
We're let for the grading of additional
streets this week. The stumps and
logs gathered from the streets are be-
ing piled in heaps here and there
previous, we suppose, to cremation,
and the sooner they are reduced to
ashes the better, as they are somewhat
of an eyesore.
7. c. Cameron's dwelling, corner of
Hennepln avenue and Fourth street,
was burned to the ground last Monday
night, the only articles of furniture
saved being an organ, lounge and sewing
machine. Fortunately the night was
still and the house occupied compare
lively isolated position, or the result
might have been disastrous to Itasca, as
We have no fire protection although we
enjoy the sweet (?) privilege of paving
taxes. 1t is not known how the fire
originated, but it is thought lamp
standing upon dresser exploded and
ignited the curtains. The dwelling and
contents were insured for S400
The buildings at the Poor Farm, East
Superior, have undergone a thorough
coat of paint, and look neat and clean.
The farm, under the manager, Mr..
Quinn, has been greatly improved, adj
ditiOnal ground having been cleaned
and cultivated each year. Having is
going on just now and it is expected
that about 125 tons will be obtained
this year, the season having been es-
pecially favorable to the growth of grass.

of Mr.. John MaIayey adjoining the Poor
Farm. Two mowers and rakes are at
work cutting a 'eavy crop of timothy
from 2G5 acres, which is expected to
amount to about 325 tons. With hay at
a reasonable figure Mr.. NJ. should have
no reason to complain of his summers
work on the farm.
