The Whitney family were greatly
rejuiccd :, few days ago by receiving a
etter direct from Mr Irwin Logue,
who sin Alaska. Whiie the letter came
direct vet the post mark bears Novem-
Der. TIE letter is full o interesting
facts. and that he has worked hard and
faithfully Is evidenced all the way
through Mr.. Logue states that he now
weighs about two hundred pounds and
has accumulated about seven hundred
dollars. In the letter Mr.. Logue says
he had intended coming home on the
last boat. but il was frozen in at Circle
City and there remains. Having dis
posed of all his camping outfit, he was
then compelled to buy new, and the
prices he had 10 pay are rather startling
to Us, who can secure such necessaries
so easily. He states that he is nov at
work saving wood, having contract to
saw fiftv cords, receiving four dollars
per cord for the work. We predict that
Mr.. Locue will return TO Superior a
wealthy man.

During the war Gems. Grant and
Sherman, when obliged to issue orders
on forced march to leave behind all
unnecessary camp equiPage, would as
ri@iiiv comply with their OWL orders
as was required Of the troops, and 1t Is
SAID that as they appeared at the head
OF their columns with their full camp
cquipage rolled at their saddles, they
would be greeted with cheers and their
men would comply without complaint.
The Committee of the Council that
have had the adjusting of the salaries
of city employees saw tit to leave the
salaries Of the Mayor, City Engineer,
Aldermen and Il lew others the same,
but those who had no voice in council
proceedings were cut to almost bring
blood. \ little of the Grant and Sher-
man spirit would have been exceed
inclv popular in this instance. \ dis
position on the part o. those III power
20 have shown their Willingness To take
their share # the burden of reduction
We saw an act Of that kind would have
smacked OF genuine desire for reform
and been exceedingly popular. There
should have been no favored few IN
that report.

Dredging Contract Secured by Superior
and Duluth firms.

Capt. c. S. Barker, of Superior; Will
liams, Greene & Williams, and 2. Nc
Donnell, of Duluth, have secured the
contract for dredging out the harbor of
Superior and Duluth. Their tender
was 81 ,655, 645, the highest tender being
$2,S16,1l5, by Samuel G. Dixon, of Ra-
cine, Wiz.
The work will be commenced about
the middle of the coming summer and
will be continued until the work is
finished, under the superintendent of
Unied States officers.
The carrying on of this work will
men the employment of large number
of men, about 800 being necessary for
the dredges alone. This will mean the
circulation of a large amount of money
in Superior and Duluth, and should aid
greatly IN reviving business,

A spirited discussion of the new I'm
migration bill took place in the senate
on "Wednesday, the anti-C anadian sec
ton being the chief bones of contention.
Senator Lodge supported the bill. Sena-
tor Palmer said the restrictions on Can
adam border immigration was without
a parallel in the legislation of the world.
1t was an outrage on the comfy Of ma
tons and the civilization Of the age.
Mr.. Carter said the border restrictions
were worse than any civilized country
practiCed today. 1t would lead 10 retail
alton by every government in this
hemisphere, thus arraying the United
States against its neighbors. Mr.. Glib
son thought the measure was as bitterly
partisan as the Force bill. Mr.. Lodge
closed the debate in support of the bill,
saying The CorliSs amendment provided
against alien labor on public works and
also those coming regularly and habitu
ally to this side TO engage in any me-
chanical trade or manual labor. These
were just and reasonable restrictions.

aside business and told the following
story. We should have doubted parts of
it had it not been for the mans init
mate association with the great heart of
nature. He said:
"Queer place to spend Christmas,
gentlemen; but queer things are always
happening 10 a new country. Makes me
think of little occurrence at Christmas
time last year out near where l live.
There are few Scandinavians around
there-baDg-up class of settlers. Honest
as the day is long, and guileless as new
born babe. This thing happened out at
johnson schoolhouse, near where my
friend Ole Erickson lives. A few DAYS
before Christmas Ole came to me and
said:
You see hare, Mr. Yackson'-my
name is Jackson-'you know mae fader.
| er-law, old man Oleson?'
"'Yes, said.
"'Vell, haf team of work. horses aye

woman dat We keel two birds Vid vun

geet de taem scheep. Aye tank aye bees
onto mae yob all right 'nough'
"'But you can't put cow on Christ
nas tree, Il said to him.
"'Oh, aye not hang her oop on de
tree; aye yust tie her to eet.'
$50 he went off, and afterwards heard
about how it all came out. Ole and his
| wife took the COW, and just before the
| thing opened up got to the schoolhouse.
| We wants to poot on de cow says Ole :;
/ but they wouldn't listen to him. But
| Ole wasn't to be bluffed that way; so he
! says, Tale you vat aye do; aye stand de
COW behind de schoolh0use INT open the
back door leetle unit p1o5 dc rope troo
! de crack uut tie eet to de bottom of de
/ tree Some of 'em thought that was
j hardly the thing, but they agreed to it
| at last and he stood the COW outside the
door. which opened out, and ran the rope
which was around her horns through the
crack and tied just above the floor. The
tree was small one, which wasn't
strange, as it had come three hundred
miles by rail.
SIT was mild night, aud the CO cot
toned to it all right enough, so Ole aud
his wife went around front and took
their seats with the others. There was
the regular exercises that they always
have at such contraptious-singing by
the Sunday school, speaking by some
members of the infant class, and that
sort of CUFF, after which the minister got
up and said: My friends and brethren

ana sisters, what a beautiful tree we
have here, and what rich fruit II bear!
We are, most Of Us, far away from our
former homes, and in new aud untried
country. We know not what may be be-
fore us for the coming year, but Of this
tree ana the many presents It holds we
are certain. We can pluck the gifts of
loved ones from ia branches, even as
do now, and Just then Ole's cor
lerked around her head, and the door
swung open, and she saw the light, let
out one below, aud made lamp like s
kangaroo, yanking that tree out the door
buu-end ticst. Then she went tearipg.,
off down the road towards home, below
ing al the top Of her lungs, kicking Ike
a bay mule, and snstching that tree
along behind like a plug hist tied to 8
dogs tail. Ole came in to tell me about
it the next day. Dat old keecker. she
never stop teel she geet to mae place, he
said, unit de presents all along de road

Ibid you taKe the COW over to your

him.
His face got as long as a fiile, and
then he said:
"'Iah, aye tex her offer. L at he mex

perty nice, Ole" Den after While aye
say to heem, How mock for dat team

say, Two bundred dollar; but last
week hae say vuu hundred seventy five.
Den aye feel like aye wish de COW she

II always felt rather sorry for Ole be-
cause his scheme failed; but all OF US ship
up on our plans once in a while."-[aar-
