"OIL PAINTINGS"
Those That Cost 80 Cents Apiece and
Sell For 81

Those That Cost 80 Cents Apiece and
Sell For 81.
Most Of the cheap oil paintings"
said the picture dealer, ARE done by
Italians on the east side in New York.
They work in their living rooms, and
most Of the paintings have several
half grown children as assistants The
wholesale dealers have a number of
such artists on their books and agree
to take all they can do, the firm sup
plying the canvas, but not the paints.
OF course the pictures are done rapid
ly.
IAN expert will range six or eight
canvases on q shelf that is used in
stead of an easel and generally has a
colored print tackled up above as copy.
Then he proceeds to rapidly block in
the subject. A favorite scene is q
mountain lake with a ruined temple in
the foreground. He will indicate the
lake, the sky and the mountains with
out attempting any details and pass on
to the next canvas. By the time he Is
through with the last one the paint on
the first Is dry, and he proceeds in the
same order with the trees, clouds and
temple. Meanwhile his helper is put
ting in all the small accessories, and
by the time daylight wanes the row
will be done. By this system of work
ing the artist does not have to be con-
tinually changing his brushes, and he
loses no time in waiting on the drying
of pigment.
eve sell such picture as he would
turn out at about 81, including frame,
the net cost of the canvas to the deal
er being in the neighborhood of 80
cents. The workman gets 40 cents
apiece for his paintings, and most of
them average $3.50 day year in and
year out. 1 know one man who makes
just double that amount, but he has
two clever children. AS you may see,
some of the pictures are by no means
devoid of merit in spite of their slap
dash handling. In fact, good many
Of the 40 cent artists occupy their
leisure in doing artistic things which
they may or may not be able to sell.

pig BONG RraccIefa.

The natives of the New Hebrides
islands, in the Pacific ocean, raise pigs
for bracelets. The upper canine teeth
of the pigs are removed, and that gives
the lower tusks chance to grow as
much as they wish. The lower teeth
grow, and finding no resistance, attain
good length. The teeth grow in a
spiral, and the tip often lies beside the
root Of the tooth. Very rarely the
point grows into the root of the tooth
and makes complete circle. A COM

Are the people of Bayfield, county

afor Sabin puts his hand down in
their pockets and takes out another
500, 600? That is a pertinent ques-

Mr. Sabin and his fellow partners
will ask the county to turn oyer to
them 800, 900 of the so-called county
aid bonds. f" Let it be understood
that the bayfield, & Western, and
the Washburn, Bayfield, and Iron
River railroad are identical, so far
as the promoters go. Sabin built
tee w. B. & l. r. sailroad, and now
he is building the Bayfield, and
Western under the same contract.
For the w. B. & I. r. railroad
he received $185, 900 of county aid
bonds. That is the county took
1855, 0O0stock in the enterprise. The
first thing the Sabinites did was to
beat the county out of it's stock, so
that today the county instead Of
owning an interest in the road
stands in the position of having
given a bonus for that amount.
We were told when the PROPOSE
ton was made that the county's
stock would earn enough to take
care of The interest on the bonds as
they became due, but this was a
lying representation from the start,
and the county has not, nor never
will receive a cent return for the
$185, 900 it has put into this
sink hole. Only last week the
county board was obliged to levy a
tax upon the assessible property Of
bayfield, county for $4,000 for the
present year to take care of the ia

DEATH OF THOMAS Is. WALSH.

The friends of Thomas B. Walsh

Friday to learn that he had dice

the evening before, Mr.. Walsh was
an attorney by profession, and re-
sided at Iron River where he was
one of the foremost and most re-
preventative of her citizens. He
frequently visited Washburn, and
had many warm personal friends
here. The deceased was taken sick
with typhoid fever about ten DAYS
ago, but for a number of days prior
to his death was in very critical
condition, so that his demise was
no altogether unexpected.
Mr.. Walsh was thirty-nine wears
of age, aid was vigorous, energetic
citizen. In this worlds goods he
was comfortably situated, and enjoy
ed with his family comfortable
situated and enjoyed with his family
a comfortable home in Iron River.
He was man who commanded the
utmost respect everywhere. TON"
Walsh was always thorough gen
tleman, and as he made friends he
always kept them.
The funeral was held in the Cath
Ole church at Iron River'Sundav.
and about sixty from here went
over on a special train over the
Battle Axe road. Most of those
were members of the Catholic For
rosters; under whose auspices the
funeral was held. It was perhaps
the largest funeral ever held in Iron
River, and it was regretable that
fully one-half the people were unable
to lind room in the church. But the
mortal remains were consigned to
their last resting place with all the
honor and ceremony due a noble
citizen.
