Superior deposits, is being
quarried in Port Wing. This
quarry was operated for a num-
Der of years by Miller Brothers,
and they recently sold their pro-
perty to the Portage Entry
Quarries Company, of Chicago.
The institution in past years has
employed about 25 men, but it is
expected that a pier will be built
to facilitate shipm ents and that
the institution will give employ
ment to 100 men next year. So
excellent is the stone in this

during any storm.
Between two hundred and
three hundred boats annually
arrive at Port Wing. Many of
them come for the purpose of
taking on shipments of lumber
and other classes of wood manu-
facture, others for the local
freight and passenger service,
and others put in during storms
for shelter. AS a harbor of ref
uge the work of the government
is simply extending what nat
urally existed at Port Wing, for
during many years-in fact al
most since the opening of navi-
cation upon Lake Superior the
sailors and boat men have known
that should they be caughtin bad
storms that there was sufficient
water in Flag River to allow them
to run in there with their boats

Bayfield, county, has a great fu
ture in the wayo farming. Four
years ago Mr.. DAILY set out 200
apple trees in a plat of land which
he owns in the southern part OF
the village, and expects to get a
rich crop from them this season.
There are about twenty varieties
OF the trees, and it is as prosper
GUS a looking orchard as is to be
seen anywhere. In the course
of a year or two Mr.. DAILY expects
to take 200 barrels Of apples a
season off his trees. He backs
this expectation upon what some
of the older orchards Of the vi
entity have been able to produce.
One of Mr.. Days agricultural
experiences was to take 351 bush
els of potatoes from an acre and
a half of land last year.
The official government Of the
town of Port Wing is constituted

and now heis president OF the
school board of the new town.
His associates on the board are
John r. Calkins, vicepresident;S
A. Baxter, secretary; and Dennis
Daily, sub-district clerk for the
Bark Bay region.
Mr.. Okerstrom conducts very
extensive and successful bust
ness. He believes thoroughly in
Port Wing and relies upon it's
future. Last winter he had 200
men employed in the woods and
banked 10000, 900 feet of logs,
besides getting out $1,000 pieces
of poles and piling. He makes
many large shipments by boat,
and last year loaded and shipped
from Port Wing fifteen cargoes
of telegraph poles and piling to
Chicago, eight cargoes of cedar
poles andseven cargoes of ties.
Mr.. James G. DAILY is the chief
executive of town affairs, having
been elected to the Office of chair
man in the spring of 1902, and re-
elected last spring. Mr.. Daily
was the first town clerk of the
place, having been elected at the
time the town was set off in the
spring of 1901 He served six
years as deputy sheriff for Port
Wing, under the administrations
of three county sheriffs, and re-
signed only that his duties might
not conflict with those of the
office of town chairman. Mr..
Daily is one of the old settlers,
having arrived in Port Wing nine
years ago. A year later he
brought his family to the place,
and he enjoys life as he works
by the way. By profession he is
an inspector of logs and cam o
foreman. AS a member of the
county board Of supervisors and
as public man his opinions are
sought and hisjudgment is usual
ly sound. He possesses some
agricultural land, and is firm
ly convinced that the town of

saw mill here, and manufacture
considerable lumber. They give
their principal attention. how
ever, to the manufacture of
cedar into shingles, posts, etc.
It's perhaps violating no con-
idence to state that there is a
big thing brewing for Port
Wing, and if successful a ire
mendous steel plant will be
located in the village. It is
spoken of asan excellent location.
Brown Stone.
The whole shore line of Lake
Superior extending from Wash
burn to within few miles of
Duluth contains great deposits
of brown sand stone. This stone
is also found on many of the
Apostle Islands. At Washburn,
Bayfield,, and Port Wing there
are large outcroppings, and a
mum Der of successful quarries
are in operation. The stone
varies a great deal in quality,
ranging from what might be
called poor to first-class building
stone. None of the quarries
bother much with the poorer
quality OF stone, but give their
attention to localities where suit
able stone for the markets can
be found. Some of the highest
grade of this material to be

and wait until the elements calm
ed.
Port Wing has about 600 people
living within the borders Of the
town, and they are engaged in
manufacturing lumber, tilling
the soil, and various other pur-
suits. They are progressive
class and are the right sort of
material for the building up of a
town.
Moore, Keppel & Company, a
Pennsylvania concern, of which
Mr.. J. r. Calkins is member
and local manager, have very
good saw mill plant at this point,
and manufacture annually about
100000 feet of lumber. In
addition to this they manufac-
tured 100000 lath last year.
The cut is exceedingly large
when it is known that they have
but a single band and gang
equipment, but they run night
and day during seven months OF
the year. The firm have cut
that will last several years.
Last year there were twenty
seven boats loaded with lumber
at their dock. The company
has a monthly roll of 81, 900 dur
ing the mill season, and in addi-
tion to this give work to a large
number of loggers.
Carlson & Olson also have a

since the setting off of the town
1t is a conservative estimate tn
place the number of farmers in
the town at 120, and it is also not
stretching things any to saw
that all are prosperous. During
the past three years over 1000
apple trees have been planted
throughout the town, and this in
addition to other orchards of old
er growth indicates that the fruit
business will soon become very
extensive about Port Wing.
Some of the finest apples raised
anywhere are produced at this
point. The Willow River apples
from Port Wing took first prize
at the Minnesota State Fair three
years ago. The Duchess of
Gutenberg and Greetings are
also popular varieties.
There are three churches in
Fort Wing, the Swedish
Lutheran, of which Reverend
Hoken Olson IS pastor, the Catho-
lie Church, of which Reverend
Father Patriotism charge, and the
Union or Presbyterian church.
The latter church usually has a
pastor, but is on the "supply"
list just at present.
The Austin House is popular
place, and is presided over by
Messrs. Pierce & Braff, who
have recently assumed charge.
The Hotel Starr is conducted bv
II. M. Benson. The Lake View
House is another place.
Among the business houses
are: John H. Klovstad, S. S.

Among the Farmers.

John E. Erickson lives upon
a farm three miles from the
village of Port Wing, and has
about twenty acres under Gull
tivation. He says that last year
he raised three tons of clover to
the acre, while the timothy run
close to two tons per acre. He
has 100 apple trees Ind sue
ceeds in getting a good yield.
He speaks of the soil as a loamy
clay, although a portion of his
land is of heavy black soil.
Charles Larson lives in the
same vicinity, and has engaged
somewhat in the raising of
wheat, finding it very success
full. Oats have also occupied a
good deal of his attention, with
the best of results. Mr.. Larson
and his brother, together with
another farmer, Mr.. p. Braff,
own threshing machine and do
considerable threshing each year.
Mr.. Larson is on land that he
describes as a loamy clay.
A. 2. Braff has one of the
incest looking farms in the north
ern part of the county, upon
which there are splendid build
lngS. Just across the road from
his is the farm of John Erick-
son, a beautiful place, as can be
seen by the view of it appearing
in the Port Wing page. Mr..
Braff has an orchard upon which
the finest apples are raised. Last
year he sent al apple picked
from one of his trees to nur-
sery in Syracuse. 1t was so
large that it bulged a 159 inch
collar box on the four sides. The
nursery became so interested
that they wrote for information
rs to the conditions surrounding
the growth of such handsome
fruit, care of trees, and a large
number of questions. Mr.. Braff
takes two and half bushels,
equal to a barrel of apples, off
many of his trees.

School House.
One of the handsomest and
most complete school buildings
in Bayfield, county is the new
structure practically complet-
ed at Port Wing. Seventeen
thousand dollars has been ex-
pended upon the editice, and it
will take three thousand dollars
more to complete it. The ex-
terror of the building is complet-
eel, and a number of the rooms
are furnished, but the heating
plant and a few such incidentals
are yet to be supplied. The
t1ildlng is 78x68 feet in size. and
has eight rooms, besides play
rooms and furnace rooms in the
basement. The basement and
entrance to the building are of
the handsome brown stone
secured from the local quarry,
while the main part of the build
ing is frame. It is handsomely
finished in quarter sawed oak
with maple flooring. The most
modern school furniture and
equipment is in use in every part
OF the building. The basement
is large and spacious covering
the entire lower portion under
the building and being built up
high so that the rooms are LIGHT
and airy. Over this are two
more stories. One hundred and
forty pupils were enrolled last
year and there were three teach
ers. The idea in putting up SO
large a building was to provide
Tor all future emergencies, and
TO erect a structure that; would
stand as monument to the
thrift and enterprise of the
place. Henry E. Wildhagen, of
Ashland, was the architect. and
John FL. Foster & Sons, of the
same place, the contractors for
the building. The school board
runs teams through the country
daily and picks up the pupils,
returning them to their homes
in the evening.
During the past two years the |
town of Port Wing has built |
twenty-five miles of new roads. |
The roads have all been ditched |
IN both sides and are as good as
my roads in the northern end of
5he county. The policy has been
20 build roads that would be per-
nanent in every respect. The
good work still goes on, and it is
the purpose to cover every por-
blon OF the town where roads are
needed by the settlers. $40, 3OOI
as been expended on roads !

where that stream empires It's
flow into Lake Superior is locat-
ed one of the coming towns OF
BAYFIELD, county. 1t is an ideal
spot and the people who live in
the village and town are enthus-
iastic over their place, and there
is not one of them but what de-
clares that the situation OF the
place and the natural advantages
it possesses is destined to make
Port Wing one of the Leading
cities on the whole shore OF Lake
Superior.
Port Wing is small but its am
billions are unbounded. The
village sets back on rising
slope of ground and surround
inc it is country destined to
become known for the richness
of it's soil and the success which
is sure to attend the develop
ment of agriculture. There are
quite a number of substantial
business houses in the place, in
Guiding stores, hotels, ETC., and
there is degree of prosperity
that Enthusiastically marks the
place as a desirable one. Port
Wing needs a railroad the worst
kind of way. The principle
business Of the place is done by
water, and the lake boats find a
good patronage, so that many of
them stop at the dock for freight
and passengers. The Northern
Pacific line between Iron River
and Washburn is only few
miles from Port Wing, and it is
the confident hope of the inhabit-
ants Of the latter place that an
extension will be built to their
village. But Port Wing does
not propose to be cut off from the
outside world indefinitely, and
the first move that was made
to place them in Immediate COM
municatiOn with the surrounding
country and with all the cities OF
the northwest was taken when
the town board caused a tele
phone line to be constructed
from Port Wing to Iron River.
This line connects with all the
lines of the Wisconsin Telephone
Company, and it takes but the
time necessary to make the con-
nections in the central Offices to
place Port Wing IN talking con-
nections with Duluth, Superior,
Chicago, Minneapolis and all the
towns Of Bayfield, county. An
other line has been built out into
the Flag River country, and the
lumbermen and farmers find it
very convenient inasmuch as it
places them in communication
with Port Wing. George How
ard, the first chairman of the
town of Port Wing, keeps the
system in working order. He is
also engaged in work upon the
docks of the Moore, Keppel Com
pany.
Mr.. T. N. Okerstrom is the
sage of Port Wing, having located
at that place in 1891. Two years
later he plated the townsite,
and there is hardly a person
within the county who is not
familiar with the pioneer move
mentinstitutedb by this gentleman.
His efforts have been crowned
with success, and the present
condition of Port Wing is due
more to his efforts than that of
any other single citizen. Mr..
Okerstrom has been a member
of the school board for the past
nine years, first as the district
clerk for the town of BAYFIELD,,

ACCUSED OF BLACKMAIL.
-Four Italians Arrested Charged With EItort-
Ing Money by Means Of Threats.

New York. Sept. l4--Four Italians
have been held In bonds OF $4,000 each
charged with blackmailing Nicola Cap
piello. wealthy Brooklyn contractor,
out OF $1,000.
For several weeks Cappiello's family
have been In dread because Of letters re-
ceived by the contractor signed Black
Head" threatening the destruction OF
their residence by dynamite.
Large sums were demanded for i'm
munity and finally Cappiello paid over
$1,000. More threats soon followed and
the demands OF the conspirators were
redoubled. The members OF the house
hold feared TO venture out OF doors and
In despair they appealed TO the police.
The gang was exposed by man who
several years ago eloped with Cappieno s
adopted daughter and who now hopes 20
secure the forgiveness OF his father-in-
law.
According to the police many rich Ital-
ians of Brooklyn have been mulcted OF
large sums in a similar manner
