little more than three hours and giving
a twenty minutes stop at each Of the

to present some form Of amusement
which will be entirely unique in the
history of this city The cities visited

the most prominument houses in town.
The trip will be accompanied with
such realistic accessories as a departure
from the Union depot in Boston,
leaving in busses going across the
continent with music, refreshments,
and many other forms Of meri ments
All along the way. The general plan
Of the trip is something in the order
of progressive dinner party Its
scope is far more extensive. The de-
tails will be carefully looked after by
the committee having the entertain.
ment in charge, and they will be AS
near perfect rs it is possible to make
them The interview of the different
homes representing the countries will
be fitted up exactly represent the cities

CATTLE RAISING.
Menominee Herald Gives Some Infor-
nation on the Growth of Industry.

With the passing Of the timber it was
supposed at one time that northern
Wisconsin and the Michigan Peninsula
would lapse into wilderness But
there is q new field opening mp and
farming and ranching seems 70 bid
fair TO take the place Of the saw mill
and the lumberman
George Hubbard Of Crivitz, Wis
has leased coo acres of the II Zech
farm at Crivitz and is turning il into
a cattle ranch s NJ Stephenson of
this city and Isaac Stephenson Of Mar
inette. Wis nave both gone into the
embarrassing insdustry, S. NJ.
Stephenson purchased several hundred
head Of cattle at the Chicago yards
this week and shipped them to his
Grass lake farm in the Thunder river
region. where the timber has been cut
OFF.
The progress made in farming in this
section during the last decade has been
striking, but only recently has stock
raising been given much attention,
and already the advance has been wond-
erful.
In the country tributary to Men
ominee, cattle, fine horses and sheep
are raised at Sidnaw, in the southern
part of Houghton county, large
sheep and cattle ranch is yielding
handsome returns and in Marquette
Delta and Chippewa counties the money
put into the business represents i'm
mense sums. Near Iron Mountain. at
Metropolitan the Sagols Lumber com
pany has established ranch on a tract
OF cut-over, which has been stocked
with Neheford steers. Patrick Flan-
nigan, the lumberman OF Sagola, has
decided TO raise stock for market.
he owns, among other tracts. 2, 900
acres Of land in the vicinity of Chan
ming, and he stocked it with 800 head
Of blooded cattle. Louis Van Wrinkle
has one of the best conducted farms
in the upper peninsula, in Garden
township Of Delta county He has
stocked it with high.priced CATTLE
for some Of which he paid as high as
81, 400. At the state fair last year
this farmer captured number Of blue
ribbons. and his success represents the
possibilities Of the upper peninsula of
Michi igan ard northern Wisconsin.

Captain Isaac Williams has been ap-
pointed to the captaincy Of the Dunn
mine and has taken hold OF the work

equivalent to saying that there will
be ginger put into the work in the
shaft for Captain Williams is acknow-
edged TO be one Of the very best shaft
men OH the Menominee range. His
phenomenal record at the Great Western
where he had charge Of the work Of
sinking the new shaft is still fresh in
the minds of all.
The Dunn shaft has been going
down slowly the nature Of the ground
being such that no very great progress
could be made while the strike that
was iuaugurated by the men May ist !,
retarded the work greatly. The shaft
is now about 2b0 feet on the total
estimated sink Of 800 feet.

POLITICAL MATTERS.
The Contest Between Youns and Sheldon
Grow Interesting.

To say that political matters have
been active this week is putting the
facts so mildly that even the most
intimate possessors would not recognize
IT, They have been at temperature
that can safely be called hot The
fun began on Sunday evening last
when delegation Of Sheldon workers

On Monday they were joined by Post

They held a little conference during
the day and invited the workers TO as

Just the nature of the conference we

On Tuesday evening II. o Young

They were joined by the local followers
Of Mr., Young and proceeded to undo
as much OF the mischief that Sheldon
had done as was possible. They spent
the evening here and on the following
day went to Iron River and STAN
baugh. That evening they went
TO Pentoga where dance and
entertainment had been arranged
for by Mr. Young Geo. Tucker sang
some of his sweetest and best selec-
