ject of the Ideal Church." bring.
ing out very forcilbly the fact that a
Church that expects the Minister te
have all the religion of the Church
and to do all the work is not the
kind OF Church that succeeds. He
endeavored to impress his hearers
that they must support their Minis
ter and the church with their best
efforts. He drove home some good
truths, and the result ought to be
somewhat beneficial. Tn the even
ing there was business meeting for
the purpose of acting upon the re-
signation of Mr.. Mcintosh. The Con-
gregation refused to accept the re-
signation of Mr.. Mcintosh, and the
matter was laid over for a future
meeting of the Church. Mr.. McIn-
tosh is a very popular pastor and it
is hoped that he will be induced to
remain in Washburn.
It is. learned here that the Hines
people are figuring pretty strongly
for the purchase of the North Wis
consin Lumber Company's mill at
Hayward, which is one of the
Weyerhauser institutions, and one Of
the largest plants in the Northwest.
The Hayward people have made the
Hines people the unusual proposition
that if they would buy the mill that
they would exempt their property
from taxation. OF course such a
proposition is very unusual, and in
case it goes though will perhaps
furnish some work for the State Tax
Commission. 1t is notorious that
whenever any unusual transaction in
the way of taxation can be carried out
in that Hayward finds a way to do
it. The North Wisconsin Lumber
Company will finish saving all their
timber this season, and the Hay
varieties are making every effort
to secure the Hines people in order
to prolong the life of their lumber
industry. The Hines people will
take large quantities of their Doug
las county timber from the vicinity
of Hawthorne to the Hayward mill
in case they decide to purchase.
The steamer A. G.. Brewer I'M
loaded at the coal dock during the
past week, and during the visit of
the boat to this port large number
of our people took advantage of the
opportunity to examine one of the
finest steel plate steamers that has
ever been in this port. The Brewer
has the distinction of bringing the
largest cargo of coal that has ever
been unloaded from q steamer at the
Northwestern Fuel Company's dock,
the tonnage being 5000 tons. The
boat is an elegant steamer, and has
ten matches, four of which were
worked at time in unloading her
here. Captain Frank Boyer is mas
ter of the steamer, and Robert
Leach is the chief engineer, with E.
FL. Reading as assistant chief of the
engineering department. The boat
hailed from Oswego, N. Y, and
went into commission in April OF
this year. She is 376 feet in length,
and is wide and deep, holding an
immense cargo. The crew was
made up of q lot of fine gentlemen,
and all the numerous visitors to the
boat were shown every courtesy.
From here the Brewer went to Ash
land, were she was loaded with iron
ore.
