the world is to be favored at an early
date with a successful solution Of the
problem of aerial navigation. An event
Significant of the large possibilities in
that direction was the resent balloon

French aeronaut, from Paris France,
to Kew, Russia, a distance of l.304

NORTHERN WISCONSIN DEVELOP

That rapidly developing territory
which occupies the northern halt of
Wisconsin is not new enough to cause
the hardships and vicissitudes Of from
tier life, and not old enough to keep
away the intending settler ON account
of exhorbitant land prices. 1t is in that
stage of partial development which gives
great opportunity to bring 1t tothe high
est point of perfection and prosperity.
Schools, good roads and other improve
ments are going in. All that is needed
is Il small capital Drawn and brain
supplemented by push and energy will
do the rest. The iron ore, mari kaolin
and clay beds, the timber and the rich
soil, give equal opportunity TO the settl-
er and the manufacturer. Land is cheap
and can be purchased on easy terms.

Big Strike Is On.

Pittsburg, Pa, July l6.-The strike of
the members of the Amalgamated asso-
citation employed in the tinplate, sheet and
hoop mills, which was ordered Saturday
night as a result of the disagreement be-
tween the conferences of the United States
Steel corporation and the Amalgamated
association, was generally observed today.
In the Pittsburg district the skilled work
men who are under control of the union
failed to put in an appearance, or, if they
did go to the mills, it was merely as spec
tators and with no intention of working.

There were in 1880 $50 places of more
than 1000 population each, with an
aggregate population of IL 936,110, or
25.S per cent of the population. About
one half of the urban population of
1900 was contained in cities of over
100000 people. There were 38 of these
cities, with a combined population of
14,20S,376. There are now 1,150 places
of over 1000 people in the country, as
against 500 in 1890. The population of
the District of Columbia is regarded
as urban.
The census Office has issued a bulle-
tin concerning the urban population of
the country. 1t shows that 2S,411 ,63S
people in the United States live in cities
and towns of over 1000 population.
This is 1878 per cent of the entire popu-
lation, a gain of almost per cent since
the census of 1890, when the percentage
was 1923. Compared with the census
of 1880, the report shows a gain in the
urban population of the country of
more than a third in percentage and
of considerably more than double in
actual numbers.

Vancouver, B. c., July ia sensation
al climax of the Frazer river salmon fisher
mems strike occurred recently when a man
alleged to be a union fisherman, named
Michael Sullivan, attempted to shoot j.
A. Russell, police magistrate The latter
is associated in the management of a can
merry, and has been prominent in urging
the prosecution of the fishermen arrested
for conspiracy, intimidation and the kid
naping of japanese.
The magistrate was coming down from
the police station, where he had held
court. The man, supposed to be Sullivan,
stopped him and, pointing the revolver,
said: "This is the way to treat the enc
mics of labor" Before he could pull the
trigger Mr.. Russell knocked down the
mans arm and the latter turned, lodged
up an alley and escaped.

EIIxs at Spokane.

Plans for the big street fair and jubi-
lee, which Spokane Elks are to hold in
connection with the Spokane Interstate
Fair, are rapidly being completed. The
Elks have secured the old fruit fair
site in the rear of the Auditorium block
and will have large tented and en-
closed space. The main tent which has
seating capacity for 10000 people will
contain the principal entertainment
feature-the Royal Italian Band. This
is the recognized Royal Marine Band of
last year, larger and better. The Inter-
state Fair will run in the day time and
the Elks will hold forth at night. Both
commence on the same date, but the
Elks continue three days after the fair
has closed.
The street fair will differ from any
other event of the fair kind ever held
in Spokane. A speciality will be made
of industrial exhibits. In connection
will be a Midway Plaisance, similar to
those that were seen at Chicago and
Omaha and is now prominent part of
the Pan-American Exposition. In this
Midway will be a German village, an
Algerian village, Streets of Cairo, and
Mexican village and theater. Arabs,
Turks, MeXicans and representatives of
other countries will be seen in exhibit
tions of their national dances, sports
and customs. This Midway will prob
ably continue the first week of the fair
and jubilee, when it will give way to
a complete change of program lasting
until the end.
After the Midway has been aban-
doned, it is proposed to hold most of
the entertainment in the large tent
This will be arranged hippodrome fash
ion with the Royal Italian Band in the
center and reserved seat section on
both sides. This will leave space for a
large ring inside the quarter poles OF
the tent. Inside this ring will be held
military tournaments with both infan
try and cavalary drills, athletic sports
rock-drilling contests and many othei
things. One of the main events to
wards the close will be an amateur cir
Gus given entirely by the Elks.

an impressive Masonic function will take

The ceremonial will be the same as when
the prince of Wales was placed on the
throne of the grand lodge by John Faw-
sett of the province of Durham, and il
will be conducted at Albert hall, in the
presence of 10000 Masons, who are either
masters or wardens of a lodge, or mem
bers of past or present grand lodge.
