times when there would appear to be

OUTLOOK
The Coming Season will he a
Prosperous and Busy One
For Superior.

The coming season has every iudi-
cation of being one of the most pros
porous ones III the history of the city
as to substantial growth The Editor
of the Evening Telegram who is well
posted on the situation has the follow
ing to say in regard to the outlook.
"The indications are that the trans
Nemadji territory will this summer
"get busy 1t has been given out
that the Omaha road would add to its
freight shed facilities by the con
struction of an additional 400 feet.
But there are other and far more i'm.
portant improvements that seem Ger
tain to so into tina, locality during the
coming summer. The Evening Tele
gram for some time has known of
these but has been unable to give
them out and is now at liberty to
specify as TO these matters. II is suf-
tiCent TO say that there are important
things in store for that section this
season.
These improvements taken in con
nection with the government work on
the breakwate at the East End and
the other improvements being made
throughout the city ought to insure a
good degree of prosperity Win the
present indications no owner of Supe
lior real estate ought TO be discourag-
ed With the erection OF a federal
building, the prospect of Wisconsin
inspection, the employment OF 500
men at the shipyards, the large eN.
penditure by the government in the
harbor, the Improvements east Of the
Nemadli, there ought to be sufficient
TO convince the most skeptical that
day is breaking notwithstanding there
has been long night. Possibly real
estate was never as low IN price N
Douglas county az today. As the Eve.
ming TelegIam has often said, and now
repeats, if the people OF Superior are
wise they will each secure their own
home without delay. There are Ger
tainly better times in store for Supe-
rior. The copper interests OF this see.
tion are going to be developed aud no
one can dispute but what the ihdlca-
tions in this direction are extremely
encouraging. The Evening Telegram
would say TO every citizen, Buy a
home in Douglas county and buy it
now" If you comply with this advice
you will never have occasion to say
that you We're misled in this respect
by The Evening Telegram. 1t is be-
lever in Douglas county and Douglas
county people, and the future will
prove that its faith is wei founded" "

A DISASTROUS FIRE
Tuesday Nights Fire the Most Disastrous
the in History of SUPERIOR

The most disastrous fire iu its his
tory visited this city last Tuesday
evening, at which time the hand-
some Keystone block, three story
brick structure ON the corner OF Seven
the and Tower Avenue was completely
destroyed, entailiug a loss OF nearly
>15O, 900 and only partially covered by
insurance.
The north half OF the building be-
longed to William Luby OF Hurley,
and the south half to Peter Fruax OF
Eau Claire The former was insured
for 81, 600 but no insurance was carried
upon the latter section The total
value of the building was 500, 900.
the other principle losses were
those of Floan x Leyeruos, clothing
store, and the Bloom dry goods store
when occupied the lower story of
the building. The stock OF the form
er was valued at 10000 and was in
sured for $50 coo The stock of the
Bloom dry goods was valued ut about
SO, 900 and was we'll covered 10y in
surance.
The origin OF the lire is somewhat

West Sup lor, Wisconsin,
February Is, 1902.

j We the undersigned tax payers of
the City of Superior, hereby recon-
mend a settlement of all taxes of the
/ Consolidated Land Company for the
sum Of 500 600 IN cash, for the follow
ing reasons;
1st That while we are opposed to
the non payment of taxes aud believe
that the continued practice of the
same will naturally prevent the
growth of our city, but we feel that
the time has come t. clean up for good
and all, that a settlement of the affairs
of the Consolidated Land Company
will be beneficial to all parls of our
city.
2nd That the city has a floating
Indebtedness approximating $4,000;
this can be paid and the employees
and merchants benefited thereby.
3rd. That two unsuccessful at
tempts have been made to re-organ-
ize the Consolidated Land Company,
and that we believe if the present one
fails the value of lands in large por-
4 ton of our city will be seriously affect
ed
4th That the payment of taxes in
the future have been provided for for
five years
5th That it IL better to have the
property brought to life and kept
alive rather than suffer it to remain
in its present condition.
9th That the county only realized
from the recent sale of lands under
tax deeds less than Is per cent Of the
face of taxes.
9TH That Duluth, St. Paul and
Minneapolis by special legislation
have replaced large amount OF lands
on the tax rolls by the settlement OF
taxes as low as 10 cents on the dollar
8th That we firmly believe that the
county in making this settlement IS
acting for the best interests Of the city
and that we heartily endorse the pas
sage of a resolution accepting settle.

/ Der of tax payers were unable to set

values created by the "boom" and the
subsequent depreciation in prices of
real estate, following a downward

city were forced into bankruptcy.

holdings in the business district of Su-
perior was able to reorgauize in the
year 1898, and in that year and 1899
and since, received valuable con-
cessions from the city and county in
tax matters, covering a Delinquent
period of five years.
Murphy and Kasson, The Dwight
Estate and many other large owners
made settlements either in Court or
through the County Board, at various
large discounts, according to the val
ue of the property and the amount OF
accumulated unpaid tax and the
County Board at all times tried to ex
tend the same privileges to the small
owners who could not hire lawyers
and fight through the Courts

many leading citizens acceptad S75-

county on the property of the Supe-
rior Consolidated Land Company,

that sum.
