Council Proceedings.

The council meeting on Tuesday
evening was uninteresting, the veto
AK of the mayor not having been used
as yet in a particular case where we
think it should be-the union label
ordinance.
The health commissioner reported
that he was unable to discover any i'm
provement in the water flowing through
our hydrants or any indications of any
efforts to improve the water on the part
of the water company.
The report was referred to a special
committee with instructions to report
later on. In the mean time we will
have to content ourselves with what
ever comes out of the hydrants.
The mill owners in the East end
the Northern Pacific Railway company
and the Terminal company sent in a
petition asking for the repair of the
disabled fire engine, in order that
their property be protected in case of
fire. The matter was referred to the
committee having the matterin charge.
1t was decided TO construct a sewer
along the Northern Pacific and Eastern
Minnesota tracks between Broadway
and North Twenty first street, at cost
of $500
The offer of the Great Northern COM
pany to pay their taxes into the city
treasury was referred to the city at
torney.
1t was decided to build two pile
bridges on Eighteenth street east of the
Nemadji river, al cost of $500.
After the transaction OF some unim-
portant business the council adjourned
4 special meeting of the city council
was held on "Wednesday evening to con-
slider the license question, when the
chief OF police was instructed to close
all saloons that had not made aUplica-
ton for license, or for which the first
instalment of $3.50 had not been paid
by four o'clock Saturday afternoon.
Special Meeting No. ,.
The mayor must have an idea that by
calling special meetings it looks more
business like and as if be was trying to
DO something important. SO, ACTIN
along this line he issued invitations on
Thursday for another session for that
evening, all the aldermen responding
but Mr. Mills. As soon a. the meeting
was called 10 order the mayor nomi-
mated Or. David for Health Commits
sioner, and explained in Very strong,
and not the most mplinentary terms
why he old hot want Or. Ground 10
continue in the office. When the vote
was taken, however, the result was not
what had been expected, 9 voting NO"
and 5 Ave" The absence Of Mr.
Mills must have been q disappointment
to the mayor, as tie vote was evidently
expected. and with his casting vote the
nomination would have been confirmed.
This closed the business, but another
special meeting Will be held tonight,
Friday, at wLiyl some more trouble Is
expected

WILFRED GOBELLE SUICIDES.
An Insane Man Takes the Water
Route to the Great
BSNOnG.

Wilfred Gobeille, who had been out
of his mind for month or more, COM
mitted suicide by jumping in the bay
off the Daisy mill pier, on Tuesday
afternoon last.
Gobeille had resided in this city about
four years, was a slate roofer by trade,
put for the past few year he had been
working along the docks, making his
home with Joe Coburn on Second street.
He came from St. Paul and was about
50 years of age.
While employed last fall by Walsh x
Connely in loading -four on board the
John II. Iadlev, at one of our mills, he
fell through the hatchway INTO the hold
of the boat, breaking his jaw and other
wise inuring himself He was SO serl-
ously injured that he remained uncons-
cious for several days, bat while he was
disabled it was not thought that his
mind would be affected. About month
ago, however. his mind seem to be failing
and for a few days previous to his sui
eide he became so bad that it was unsafe
to leave him alone. His parents, who
live in st. Paul, were notified and they,
together with a brother of the deceased,
arrived here en- Monday morning, in
tending to take him home the next
night, where they thought by careful
nursing he would be restored to health
1t was not to be, however.
On Tuesday afternoon he was left in
charge of friend by the name OF
Brochie, and the two started out for a
walk, finally going Town to the Daisy
mill to watch the men load flour.
After a short time Gobeille became
restless and moved on towards the end
of the dock, his friend accompanying
him. When nearing the end of the
pier GobellIe took ten cent piece from
his pocket and threw it on tie dock,
and as his companion stopped to pick
It up, jumped into the lake, and before
he could be rescued had persisted.
The body was recoyed by means of a
graphing IRON. and placed in a patrol
wagon and taken to LaSage's undertak-
ing 70 oms, on Tower avenue.
The afflicted parents and brother re-
turned to st. Paul on "Wednesday tax
ing with them the remains of the IN
fortunate man.
The Gobeill's are very respectable
people and much sympathy is felt for
them.

How England Created Its Merchant
Marine.

An article in the last American Econo-
mist on Great Britain's Protection"
by Allen Ripley Foote, explains by
what methods England built up its
merchant marine from which we learn,
among other interesting facts, that
"For four hundred and seventy wears,
from 1879 to 1910, England protected its
merchant marine by imposing double
duties on the products of foreign fish
cries but restricting commerce with
English colonies exclusively to British
vessels; by restricting European com
lnerce to British vessels, or to vessels
owned by the countries exporting the
commodities; by subjecting all imports
in foreign ships to discriminating du-
ties; by restricting commerce with Asia
Africa and America exclusively to
British vessels; by declaring that only
Those ships should be considered Eng
llsh whose hulls were built in England
nnd three-fourths of whose crews were
English subjects, and by discrimination
IN tonnage dues, surveys, measurements
and rates OF insurance. As a direct re-
suit OF this long continued, never falter-
ing policy of Protection England's ship
building and ocean carrying industry
was developed to a proud pre-eminence
III the worlds commerce"
As result of this policy the tonnage
81 England's merchant marine rose
from 1900 tons in 1883 to S, 1856, ISL tons
IN 1894, and since 1894 over $50. 900
tons have been added, making an ar
gregate tonnage of nearly ten millions.
or. including the colonies, 1889, U36
tons, more than half the merchant ma
1ine tonnage of the world, and six times
greater than the tonnage of the merch-
ant marine of the United states.
Why, it may be asked, is there such
difference between the tonnage Of
our merchant marine and that of Eng
land and her colonies WHY did not
our government encourage the develop
Inent of our merchant marine as did
Inc British government Its merchant
marine? There are many reasons, the
chief one being that England being the
great market for our surplus products
we were compelled to send them there
III British vessels or lose the trade. and
as England is becoming less depeudeu;
upon us every year for the nccessarieS
OF life and eur need Of the British
market Is growing greater every wear. if
j. difficult matter TO devise any policy
which will develop our merchant ma
rlne. When we consume more than we
produce, when other nations depend
more upon our markets than we DO
upon theirs, then We Will be able 10 lee.
lslate effectively in the interests OF
American bottoms and American sea
men.
1t does no good to accuse England o.
selfishness. Its statesmen, like true
patriots. have always made laws and
acted with a single eye 10 England
interests. We cannot ALWAYS approve
of its policy, but we cannot fail to adj
mire their splendid fidelity to the inter
ests of the British empire under all cir.
Cumstances.
In this repect EngIand's statesmen
afford good example 10 American
statesmen. With the former it Is Eng
land first and party next: with the lat
ter it would seem 10 be party fret, as
and always.

Boating On Superior Bay.
Cor the Superior Timcs.)

Did you ever take your best girl
Just as / would if | had one),
For row upon the waters
Of the lake called Gitchee Ounce.
When the winds are warm and gentle,
Gentle as the comely maiden
Sitting pom the scarlet cushion
Gazing at you while YOU paddle,
Singing sweetly love ditty,
Time with stroke of paddles keeping
AS you dip them IN the water.
1fyou have not, then l pray thee
Quickly HE unto her wigwam
In the evening, when the sun is
Slowly sinking in the far west,
Clothed in robes of crimson glory;
Beg her instant go a boating
On the lake called Gitchee Ounce,
Where the mills look down upon you
AS their wheels are ever turning,
Grinding -four for hungry millions
Far across the mighty oceans.
Bid her come and she will fail not;
She will don her neatest raiment,
With her hat new bought and paid for
Deck d with feathers and with flowers,
She will come and murmur sweetlv,
Words are full of meaning tender
While you row upon the waters;
Words will make your heart keep
beating,
Beating time with stroke of paddle,
While upon the placid bosom
OF the bay you onward journey
To the Point called Minnesota.
Once the home of Eat-a-Gopher,
Great chief of the Windy Takers,
Where the grass is soft and yerdant
And the trees are green with plumage,
And his little Eat-a-Gophers,
Where in sultrv days of summer,
Seek the fathers and the mothers,
Seek the sisters and the brothers,
Seek the loyer and his loved one,
Seek the lonely and the friendles
Come to breathe the cooling zephyrs
Waited cross the mighty waters.
And the moments quick will vanish
And their going you Will feel not
AS you breathe soft words responsive
To the murmurs of your best girl,
AS you breathe the air uch laden
With the fragrance OF the pine tree,
With the perfume of the flowers.
And the moon steals slowly upward
From the bosom of the great lake,
From its waters pure and sparkling,
Clothing in its silv'ry splendor
Lake and mountain, wood and steeple
And the sweet face of the maiden
With her golden ringlet falling
Ger her shoulders like a mantle.
Thus you linger in the moonshine,
Thus you gaze into the waters
Where you see the image lovely
OF the maid who left her wigwam
III the ey'ning, ere the sun bad
Sought the shadow of the mountain;
Quick you think of laws paternal,
OF the big chief with his slipper,
And you row to terra firma,
And the maiden with her latch-key
Steals into the mirky darkness
OF the wigwam of her papa.
Thus it was the braves and young
squaws,
A II the little Eat-a-Gophers,
All the little Windy Takers,
Went boating in the moonlight
On the lake called Gitchee Ounce,
Near the bay called Allouez,
Ere palesaces DER the waters
In canoes and in their big ships
With their white wings and their big
guns,
With their long knives and Their flint
locks,
Came to hunt the deer and bison,
Came to hunt the bear and beaver,
And the otter and the wild fox,
In the land Of Eat a-Gopher,
Great chief of the Windy Takers.

opportunity for those who are depend
