CONCLUDED NEXT WEEK
White Women in Alaska.

Editor River Falls Journal;-
Some of my friends com planned that
in my address the other evening |
neglected to speak of the white
women in the mining regions OF
Alaska. The oversight was wholly
unintentional on my part, and /
hasten to make amends, but the
woman who has dared to brave the
cold and hardships, to rejoice with her
husband in his success or cheer him
in his failures, deserves more worthy
notice than my pen or tongue can
give her. Always ministering angel,
here she seems peculiarly fitted to
inspire that chivalry and reverence
that any man feels in the presence Of
a good woman.
There were but two women in the
camp during the first year 1 was in
the country. Mrs. Healy and her
servant, Bridget Manion.
Mrs. Healy is the wife of Capt.
Healy manager of the n. A. T. s. t.
Co. Living for years at Dyea, she had
seeu so much Of pioneer life that she
stepped into the new conditions of
the interior without hesitation, and
adopted the native skin dress and
mucklucks in the winter time. She
had fine team of dogs and made
nothing Of taking long drives Of
twenty or even thirty miles TO relieve
some case Of sickness or accident. She
was a skillful nurse, and there is
scarcely one of the boys in camp, who
has not, at some time or other had
cause to bless her thoughtfulness and
felt better for her cheerful words.
She had body-guard in the summer
time that perhaps few women would
care TO adopt. Polly was an immense
black bear that Mrs. Healy had raised
from a cub. She was allowed full
liberty and never failed to attend her
mistress in her rambles. Polly never
offered any violence to white men
though sometimes her playful embrace
was rather trying to a stranger, as she
folded her hu yh paws around him, and
gazed into his face with wide open
jaws and cleaning tusks. She haa IN

WEST SUPERIOR.

Judge c. Smith opened the an
uary term of the Superior Court on
Monday with ninety-two cases upon
the calender. As the jurisdiction of
this court is co-extensive with that
of the circuit court, except in murder
cases, and its terms are more fire.
quent, much business comes before
it.
1t is reported that the Great
Northern and the Eastern Minnesota
railway companies will soon build
extensive merchandise dock and
-four sheds in West Superior at a
point which can be reached by
Northern Line steamers without
their having to pass any of the draw
bridges now in existence or here
after to be built here
The Bank of Superior, the oldest
bank in Superior, suspended a few
DAYS ago, but its officers seem to feel
confident that they will soon be in
a position to resume business and
pay depositors in full. The Bank
of West Superior was carried down
by the Illinois National Bank failure
and whether or not IL viii resume is
vet problematical. There are still
banks enough left to take care of all
the business in that line that will
come here for while.

President of the Superior Business
University, Superintendent of
Schools ofDouglas county, Professor
of Mathematics in the faculty of the
Broadway high school, and a
member of the Board of Directors Of
the Superior Public Library. Mr..
Williams besides being capable, is a
gentleman who is ever prompted by
a conscientious desire to perform his
whole duty in whatever position he
may be placed and the Republicans
of Wisconsin would find in him an
available candidate male of the right
kind of material for State Super
intendent of Public instruction, when
that office shall be srotated" to Prof.
Emery's successor.
