large sawmills, the oldest at the head Of
the lakes Is preparing to go out Of bust

will probably quit unless it changes hands.
The Peyton, Kimball & Barber mill will

one years lease Of It's site left, but is
saving cr'ly on contract. 1t has stopped
running nights and unless purchased by
the Hines company, will probably do no
saving after next season. The Scot1eld
mill Is saving on a contract with the
Hines people, the lumber being brought
here from points along the south shore.

Grantsburg, Burnett county, citizens
think they have found John G. Faulds,
who wandered from his home ten days
ago. Last Thursday evening they read
in T he ournal's specials that one
John Follis had been sent from West Su-
perior to the Mendoza insane asylum. Fol-
lis had been found wandering in the woods
near Lake Nebagabon and one of his &C
quaintances brought him here to be ad-
judged insane. He thought he was be-
ing pursued by strangers with murderous
intent. About ten days ago John Faulds
left his place near Grantsburg and for
six days his tracks were traced until
| they took the straight road for Gordon,
this county. There all trace was lost and
the hunt was given up. Now picture
has been sent to Mendoza in hopes it will

Faulds instead of John Follis.

In fact. The rumOrs to this effect have

1t is the general-indeed unanimous
verdict of all who know anything

Company, that Mr.. Sabin is the best
and most capable man Of affairs In

HARRiSOHS CAMPAiGH HOT AM.

Mayor Harrison has delivered into
the literature Of the pending campaign
large consignment Of his charac[cr-
istc campaign hot air talk.
He starts out by saying that the city
Of Chicago will have It's revenues in
creased by million dollars next year,
and adds "a lot OF airy fancies 10 the
statement regarding what the city Is
going 10 do with the additional reve-
nue..
with an increase of u million col
lars In its revenues" says the Mayor,
THE city will be In better position to
discharge It's functions In the coming
year than II has been this year.
"A million dollars, while not a ire
mendous sum, viii still go long way
toward providing the people with some
OF the necessaries Of life
while II will not give them any of
the luxurIcs of municipal life, II Will
enable the city administration 10 keep
the departments in good running order
and 10 look after those improvements
that are essential"
This i plainly straw thrown up by
his honor 10 note how the wind blows
for next springs campaign.
IL is a sort OF promise on the part OF
the chief executive TO do next year
with an addition Of one million dollars
that which has been absolutely neglect
81 by the city administration for the
past five years with fully twelve times
the amount mentioned at its control.
The people Of Chicago have become
too we'll accustomed 10 this sort Of ''hot
air" on the part Of the administration
TO believe now that the additional mill
ION dollars next year will find its way

has gobbled mp twelve million dollars

but the incident IL such strong con.
firmation Of the predictions and the
warnings uttered by the Eagle Mt the
time that Harrison's silk stocking CON-

Democratic County Central Committee
that we could not afford to overlook 1t.
The same publication. which, by the
way. IL confirmed by statements con.

"The Information Is that more than

Now. this paper has no fight Oh the

There are many good men on 1t,

Eagles old and esteemed friends.
But these gentlemen will remember
that this journal warned them Of what
was likely to occur II Mayor Harrison

PUBLIC LIBRARY EMPLOYEES ARE
VOW BE,N8 SQUtEZED.

II was given out during the past
week that the salaries of employees of
the Chicago public library may i've cut
and the force reduced as the result of
an investigation of the methods of adj
mnistratlon begun several days ago by
expert accountants, employed by the
city. The firm recently completed its
investigation of the City Hall. and its
recommendation for the laying Off of
Il number of employees in the different
departments were carried out.
\ week ago the trustees consented to
have the expert accountants inspect
the methods In vogue ut the library. A
report of the results of the investga-
ton will be made to Comptroller Nc
Cam in u few days.
IL would now seem that in part at
least the functions of the city admins.
tration are to be delegated to outside
parties by those elected by the people
to perform them. Expensive experts
are employed at cost twice as great
as the saving which they claim to
make.
II Is certainly u matter for serious
consideration by the people that every
branch of the public service is being
reduced and impaired at the instiaa-
ton and judging from what one can
learn largely for the benefit of outside
experts. 1t would now seem that the
public library Is to he the next TO suffer.
Will there be anything left Of the
Harrison administration at its close,
anyway?

won't be much of It left the next time
