Unite Upon WOOdlawn.

In another column we publish a COM
munication on the cemetery question
from Mr.. George L. Brooks which APP
peared in the Telegram a few evenings
ago. The statement regarding the
charges as explained by Mr.. Brooks
will enlighten many people, who will
readily see that the city might as we'll
expend it's money in fixing the road to
Woodlawn as in starting another ceme-
terry. Let us hope that there is not as
much politics and speculation in the
proposed plans of the city authorities
as Mr.. Brooks evidently believes, and
that after all the trips have been taken
to the various other sites, they will I'M
animously advise to unite upon Wood
lawn, and do as much as is reasonable
to improve and beautiiy the spot. Let
all differences of opinion be dropped,
for nothing can be accomplished with
out everybody agrees to drop the dis
cussion. and favor the one site and a
good road to it.

Our Buffalo Visitors.

Superior and Duluth were visited on
Tuesday by fully two hundred and fifty
business men from the city of Buffalo.
and many of them were accom- panied
by their wives. The party came up on
the magnificent steamer North West,
and upon their arrival in Duluth, were
taken for the boulevard drive, which
is generally admitted to be one of the
finest drives in the country, affording
a better view of the two cities and the
magnitude of the business establish
ments than can be gained in a short
space of time anv other way. After
lunch they boarded several boats char
tered for a tour Of the harbor with Maj.
Sears and as many guests as his yacht
the Nidette could carry, in the lead.
Committees from both cities were on
board to explain the different industries
They went quite distance up the st.
Louis river to view the lumber yards
and Steel Plants, and then made the
rounds of Superior and Allouez BAYS.
Many of the visitors had never been
here before, and even those who had :,
seemed astounded by the marvellous
growth and gigantic business PROPOSE
tons in evidence. The improvements
on Allouez bay seemed to be good
deal of a surprise to our near rela
ton living in Duluth, but who sell
dom call upon us. All in all the ex-
cursion was success, and made hun
dreds of friends for our city.

Thu Cemetery Question.
Editor Evening Telegram:


Dear Sir-Bv people noticing more
cemetery talk in your paper recently. l
am frequently asked if there is ANY
thing i'll it, l wish to remind the pub
lie that there are many political facts
which all cannot understand. Every
unfortunate man should know when he
pays s. for his carriage TO Woodlawn
cemetery that % per cent. of this am
cunt is gwen simply because of the I'M
necessary delav of this administration
in not repairing the road to our GENE
terry, as pettioned for by about one
half of the resident taxpayers of this
city nearly four months since.
These are facts for all interested to
consider. This talk of three or four
cemeteries has been, | am informed,
entirely of a land speculative and po-
litical interest, except that some So
cieties may secure land for their own
cemetery. The general public is only
interested in Woodlawn and a good
road to it. A few hundred dollars
properly expended would fix this.
Next week | may tell the public why
in the opinion of its associates, Wood
lawn is a much more eligible site for a
cemetery than any one mentioned. AL
so ncidently take up comparatively
some of the expenditures OF this adj
ministration in the interest Of the tax
PAYERS and their petition.
Respectfully yours,
GEORGE l.. BROOKS.

Nelson Dewey School Notes.

The Nelson Dewey prides itself on
having as good looking corps of teach
ers as any school in the state.
Every teacher came to school on
Monday morning with her program for
the day carefully made out and within q
few minutes after the ringing of the
last bell every room was running full
blast.
Owing to habit so many pupils have
of going to the building from half an
hour to an hour before they are due
and congregating indoors when they
wonld much better be out in the air,
and consequently becoming tired before
the session is over, the teachers and
principal are making an effort to have
children not start from home until
after the ringing of the first bell.
A tennis court established by Mr..
Gillette and some of the high school
pupils on the school grounds is proving
quite popular.
Miss Florence Pierce from Winona,
Mimi, Miss Florence Fuller and Mr..
Frank Fuller. from Waukesha, Wis,
and Mr.. Thiele, OF Mason. are additions
to the high school.
