becoming as they are, too, still, dur
ing the winter, there will come windy
days when the owners of the exquis-

Too valuable Timber There

Black River Falls. Wis, Nov. 10. =
The proposition made to the county
board to purchase 10000 acres of
county land for $4,000 was rejected,
as 1t is thought half that amount can
be realized from the timber now on It.
The general sentiment seems to be in
favor of accepting the proposition.

NEW ORLEANS. LA. December H.
The ocean race from New York; TO Ne"
Orleans between the crack ships Of the
rival steamship companies came to an
end at 315 i. NJ. to-day. when the new
steamer Creole OF the Cromwell Line, tied
UP at it's wharf. FL Norte, OF the Morgan
line, reached Algiers nearly three hours
late-. The new ship behaved splendidIy
on her first trip. There was no break
down OF anything. although she never
slowed up from the time she left New
York. The ships experienced rough
weather and adverse winds all the way
across the Gulf, or they would have ar
rived several hours earlier.
FL Norte left New York Saturday at
$3.50 +. NJ. The Creole left at 400 l.. NJ.
The Kansas City, which claims TO have
easily beaten both vessels TO Savannah
left at o'clock, n halt-hour earlier than
III Norte. and one hour and 20 minutes
ahead Of the Creole. AS the Kansas city
has repeatedly been beaten by Fl Norte,
the statement Is not credited.
III Norte made recordbreaking runs IN
November last year. running from New
York to her wharf at Algiers in four days
and thirteen hours and twenty minutes.
The new Creole Is. therefore, several
hours behind FL Norte's record and also
behind that Of her sister ship. FL Rio.
1t is possible that other trials OF speed
will be had. although the steamship people
disclaim any idea that there has been a
race. Nevertheless, the officers and crew
of the Creole and the Cromwell people
