 ARID REGION
 On the question of reclamation of the arid re ron, the Secretary says: "The investigations which have been carried on demonstrate that there is no one question now before tue people of the United States of greater importance than the conservation of the water supply, and the reclamation of the arid lanos of the West and their settlement by men who will actually build home. aud create communities."
 It is recommended that construction at once be begun as follows: "The San Carlos storage reservoir in Ari- zona, reclaiming 100000 acres or nor, of public land at an estimated cost ol $l ,040 ,000; reservoirs in the Sierra Ne vadas in California, for reclaiming des- ert lands in Nevada; the diversion oi St. Mary's River iuto ths hellwaters of Milk River, in Montana

Secretary h...schcock,s R.port.


 Secretary Hitchcock of the Interior in his annual report endorses the con. clusions of the Commissioner of Indian Affairs regarding the present system in the following terms. He says:
 "The managementoft of the Indian serv- ice in the field and schools, while sat- isfactory uader existing conditions, is not deemed to be the best for the well fare of the Indians, and different meth ods will hereafter be adopted. This policy contemplates requiring the working by Indian allottees able to do so of d fair portion of lands allotted them, and the contributing by their in dustry to their own support of all not entirely disqualified by actual dis ability, physical or otherwise, the dis continuance c the issue of ratons to those able to support themselves, and the extension to the latter of every possible aid for their we'll being and encouragemeut; the inauguration of industrial training in ali schools which are now established so that such In diaus of both sexes may be taught trades or industries adapted to their circumstances"
 The income of the various Indian tribes from all sources aggregated $5,- 3SS, ,SS0, a falling-otf of $260, 1852, mostly due to the expiration of treaty obliga- tions. The curriculum of Indian schoo.s, the Secretary says, should be restricted to the common school course, and the further extension of non-res- ervation schools should not be per mitted In the future, full leasing privileges will be confined to those ! whose disability or inability disqualifes them from working any part of their allotments, and in lesser degree tc those whose disability prevents their working more than small part ol their allotments, all other allostees to be required to work at least forty acrel of their allotment.
 FORESTS AND WATER.
 The report says that the act of June 3, 1887, known as the timber and stone act, if not repealed or radicall, amended, will result ultimately in thu com plete destruction of the tim Der or the unappropriated and unreserve1 public lands.
 The time has arrived, according t the Secretary, when reservoirs must b built and managed as a part of h.. tional system of forest and water con servation. They cannot bc successful if msintained, however, without a thor ougb system of forest protection. Tn , introduction of practical forestry ol the forest reserves has now begun The general policy, as annoancel in ar outline memorandum to the Commis sioner of the Land O. Ofice, is that ad ditional forest reserves, with bound aries drawn to liberate the smalles amount of scrip, should be created dur ing this winter.
 The good will of the residents in o near the reserves should be gained l forest fires guarded against and the re sources of the reserves should be mad e available for the conservative use ( f the people Systematic investigatio designed to make them accessible an useful should be undertaken, and eac forest reserve and par. thereof saoui be dealt with onits own merits.

had directed that he take steps to open
it and find out the cause Of the trouble.

the sewer and it was discovered that the

How About the Cows?

Citizens are beginning to inquire
why it is that the town board has
not begun to carry out the expressed
will Of the electors of the town in
enforcing the closing up of COWS.
Cattle are running at large the same
as in the past years, and we are in-
formed that there is disposition on
the part of at least some of the mem
bers of the board to let the nuisance
continue. Chairman Nelson promis-
ed the voters that their will in this
matter would be carried out, and by
a large majority it was voted to sup
press the COWS as priviledged to the
use of the streets. Why has it not
been done?

A special meeting of the
County Board has been called to
meet at the Court House in this
city on Friday, May 10th, the
reason being to make arrang-
ments for the appeal to the
Supreme Court Of the case of
Wisconsin Trust Company
against Bayfield, county, involv-
ing $4,000 of railroad aid bonds.
AS announced in these columns
last week Judge Elliot in the Cir
cult Court of Milwaukee county,
found against the county, and to
the astonishment of all, held
that that the railroad was tech
nically completed, within the
terms of the contract. There is
a feeling throughout the county
that the proper evidence could
not have been introduced at the
trial in the circuit court, and
that if it had been, such a decis-
ion would have been impossible.
Mr.. Alvord who was district
attorney at the time Of the com
mencement of the case, and who
insisted on trying it, expressed

himself throughout as confident
of favorable verdict, and the
people who were familiar with
construction of the road, also
were of the opinion that the
county could not lose. THE
TIMES has no way of knowing
whether all the facts were pro-
perly presented to the court, but
it is a patent fact that verdict
against the county would have
been almost impossible if all the
actual conditions and circum-
stances, and the great delay in
completing the road, were got
before the court in proper man.
ner. There is a strong feeling
that Attorney Tomkins and
District Attorney Mcleod should
have charge Of the appeal, as
they more than men on the
bay have been the opponents Of
Mr., Sabin and his companions in
their numerous railroad hold-ups,
and are perhaps more familiar
with the details entering into the
building ofIsthe Sabin railroads
than anyone else.

Numerous Tugs Start out For Their
Work.
FERRY BOATS MAKING TRIPS
The Engineers Strike Likely to Cause
Havoc in Lake Shipping-Many
Smaller Boats at Work on
Lake Superior.

No big boats have arrived here yet,
and it is hard to tell just when there
will be any, owing to the engineers
strike, the extent of which is hard
to foresee. The first tug to coal at
the Northwestern Fuel Company s
docks was the Jim Pullar, owned by
John A. Jacobs of this city. She
coaled on the 23rd, and was closely
followed by the J. w. Bennett.
Several other tugs have been in here
since, among which was the Tempest
from Houghton, Michigan. The
steamers Lucille and Mary Scott are
on the ferry line, and are making
regular trips. They started out last
week. The first pleasure boat was
the Fashion, which brought over
a number of Odd Fellows last Fri
day night. The bay cleared itself
Friday and the ice was stacked
high on the further shores, where it
was carried by heavy south winds.
A couple of whaleback barges were
seen going by here last week, bound
for Ashland, The Barker, Bon
Voyage, and other boats are in com
mission, and are making occasional
trips, mostly for the purpose of
handling freight.

The Thompson saw mill started
running nights Monday. A full crew
was put on the first nigh, and every
thing started off fine. The mill is
now saving away both night and
day.
G. B. Simpson has secured a new
logging contract, and will open
up work in a few days. His new job
is out on the Battle Axe line, in the
neighborhood of Port Wing Junction.
The two logging camps OF the
Bigelow company, which have not
been doing any thing of late, will be
started again in a few days. The
Bigelow company do not miss much
time in logging, as it requires con-
slant work to get enough logs tc
keep their great mill running.
Owing to delay in the getting ready
of apartments in the Prudhomme
office, Mr.. Bailey will be unable to

Had a Good Time.

The Odd Fellows had very fine
time at their little blowout last Fri
day night. About fifteen came over
from Ashland on the Steamer Fash
ion, and participated. A short pro-
gram was carried out, in which adj
dresses were the principal feature,
after which all present enjoyed them
selves i'll tripping the light fantas-
tic. The event was acomplete sue
cess, and the only disappointing
feature was the lack of attendance
from the surrounding towns.

The remains of Albert Harrison
were brought here from the Osh-
kosh insane asylum yesterday.
Albert was quite sick a few weeks
ago and was taken to Dodd's hos
pital at Ashland for treatment A
little over a week ago the hospital
authorities said that there was no
further use of his remaining at the
place, as he did not appear sick.
The authorities were notified that
the gentleman was likely deranged,
and an examination resulted in his
being adjudged insane, and he was
taken to the asylum last week by
Undersheriff Johnson. Tuesday
word was received that he was dead.
The deceased leaves a wife and child
in this city. He was quite well
known, and was esteemed among his
friends and acquaintance.
