Z. A. Wright's Hard.
wood SaW-Mill
Scheme.
Has Great Prospect Of Success.
Men Of Long Experience I'm the Busi
ness Will Nave Charge or the
Product-Twin ely Notes.

The work OF erecting G.. A. Wright's
hardwood saw-mill has been commenced,
and by the time the Ice is out OF the lake
to allow OF bringing the logs across on
scows, operations may be commenced.
The winters cut is banked now near the
mouth OF Coles creek. Mr.. Wright's
hopes for the successful outcome OF his
enterprise are based on two very good
reasons. 1t is well known that there is n
great difference between pine numbering
and saving and the same operations
with hardwood, and Mr.. Wright has in
his employ, and will have in the work OF
saving and seasoning the product, men
who have had great deal OF experience
in the business. Then, again, owing to
the other business in which he was Ell
gagged, Mr.. Wright was Enabled to OBJ
tain the very pick OF the timber felled for
manufacturing, that which was not so
good being converted into cordwood for
the fuel and supply company, in which
logs selected for saving do not turn out
of the grade required when the first cuts
are taken of them, they too will be con-
verted into cordwood right there at the
fuel and supply company's location, and
as the logs cost no more to transport
than when cut up into cordwood, no
extra expense will be entaiIed.
One OF the difficulties which those that
have tried cordwood numbering in the
past has been in getting their product
through the Chicago inspectors. In
passing through this ordeal our hard
wood was so rated that instead OF a
profit Of 80 or so expected per thousand
being realized, a loss OF from IS to SO
has been experienced. Enough to dis
hearten any concern from embarking in
the enterprise and giving our hardwood
a hard name and an awful setback. Mr..
Wright, in investigating the business,
came to the conclusion that the trouble
lay in the manner OF seasoning the pro-
duet OF the saving. Heretofore, it has
been treated by men skilled in handling
pine too much like the soft wood. Mr..
Wright's contracts for the present sea-
son have all been made, and the seasons
cut will be delivered as it comes from the
mill, and will then be handled by the pur-
chasers in their own dry kilns to suit
themselves.
Mr.. Wright confidently expects, and he
has been assured by men skilled in the
business that he will, to come out all
right and demonstrate that the mineral
range to the south of Houghton abounds
in merchantable hardwood. 1t is to be
hoped that this is so, for then bis enter
prise and courage IN embarking on an oft
unsuccessfnlly tried business will prove
OF great benefit to this section. As great |
as has been the pine numbering in the |
past two decades, it is not to the present
alone to which We should look in esti-
mating the value OF this undertaking.
but to the time when. II it is successful,
other mills will be built employing hun
dreds OF extra hands both winter and
summer.

by the council:

An Austrian was brought to the poor
farm few days ago having both feet
frozen. He had became intoxicated and
lay down out doors with water in his
boots. The keeper OF the poor farm ex-
pressed it as his opinion that the man
would have been wiser to have made an
exchange OF the water and whiskey.
When DR.. Dodge came to attend him the
Austrian did not want anything done
and it was afterward discovered that he
had cut a bad cash in his throat, sever
ing the windpipe and just escaping the
iugular.

A UNIQUE ADVERTISEMENT.
One That You Had to Pay For the Priv
ilege Of Reading.

ilege of Reading.
Advertising Is often referred to as q
modern institution. In measure 1t is,
though the scheme Of putting goods before
the public by means Of more or less clever
ly worded announcements Is not.
A little pamphlet containing the adver-
tisements of London merchant of the
last century Is now In the possession OF q
Boston newspaper man.
The pamphlet bears date July 23, 1895,
and Is called "Packwood's Whim," the
gentleman responsible for its existence be-
Ing, as gathered from Its contents, man.
ufacturer of razor strops and paste for the
same in the city of London.
The book contained all the lads" of
Mr.. Packwood, and sold, as stated on the
title page, for "a good Tower shilling"
Why the public should pay shilling for q
book full of advertisements Is not apparent,
though IL might have been on account Of
the literary value of some of the advertise
ments, which was considerable.
The subtitle of "Packwood's Whim"
was "How to Get Money and Be Happy"
This important information was contained
In the various advertisements telling the
reader to buy Packwood's famous razor
strops and paste and no other, and beware
of cheap limitations, which advice seems to
have quite nineteenth century flavor.
The maker of razor strops prefaces his
"Whim" by stating that he is the most
modest man in the kingdom, though he
does not ask the reader to believe tho state
ment after reading the matter that follows
1t.
The virtues of the strop and paste are set
forth in various ways--in dialogues, prov
cribs and verse, all OF which reflect the
wit and wisdom Of the time and lead the
