ABOUT $4,000 IN THE DEAL.

Another bic deal in henlock tim

Another big deal in bemlock tim
Der is being consumated here this
week, by which VIM. McBrien, Of
New York, will become the owner of
the great tracts now owned by the
Thompson Lumber Company of this
city. 1t is estimated that there are
forty million feet of the timber, COW
ering about 1000 acres. While the
consideration cannot be definitely
arrived atstill it is somewhere in the
neighborhood Of $75, 900. McBrien
but recently purchased thirty million
feet of hemlock from Villas & Knight,
and rumor is TO the effect that sever
al more large purchases are to follow
Rittenhouse & Embree are among
the purchasers of hemIock lands
within the past few weeks. They
have been doing most of their buying
in the vicinity of Montreal River and
along the iron range in Michigan,
and have picked up about twenty
million feet in small tracts within
the past few weeks. The purchases
OF the latter company will be brought
to this city to be sawed at the mill of
the Thompson Lumber Company,
and it is estimated that it will take
three years of good saving to manu-
facture the hemlock which has al
ready been secured by the Ritten-
house q Embree Company. Many
OF the large concerns on the bay are
giving a great deal Of attention to
the hemlock business. The lumber
men, until within the past two years
have fought shy of the manufacture
of hemlock, but the steady increase
in prices has brought that product
up to where it is considered very
valuable, and yields a good profit to
the lum bermen and saw mill owner
1t will perhaps be found that the life
of the lumber industry of northern
Wisconsin will be prolonged a good
many years drought the now recog-
nized value of this class OF timber.
Several of the Ashland saw mill are
manufacturing it extensively, while
the Davis people at Phillips, and
other large manufacturers down the
Wisconsin Central are giving their
entire attention to hemlock and hard
wood.

The humiliation of Distance.

How much nearer to each other
the nations of the world seem to be
today and really are today than was
tho case a few decades ago. When
weeks and months we're required for
communications between the United
States and Europe the countries of
the old world appeared to be long
way off. Now the circumference Of
the old earth is belted with telegraph
and cable lines in every possible
direction. What happens today in
Europe, Asia, Africa, Australia,
South America and the great islands
of the sea is made known to us to-
morrow by great newspapers like
The Chicago-Herald, whose foreign
correspondents are located in every
important city in the world outside
of the United States. In addition
to it's own staff correspondents The
Record-Herald enjoys the foreign
news service of The New York
Herald, famous for many years for
the reliability Of it's foreign news,
and also of that great cooperative
news gathering organization, the
Associated Press. No other daily
newspaper in America possesses IA
cilities so varied and extensive for
covering the news of all nations.

the two went to the most delight
full spot in Northern Wisconsin,
where the knot was tied, and
they were made man and wife.
The young people are receiving
