THE TINES this week prints com
munication of Mr.. Nels Nelson,
former town chairman, dealing with
the administration of town affairs.
Mr.. Nelson presents his view of the
case in straight forward manner,
and the communication is well
worth reading. THE TINES wishes
it understood that the views are
wholly those of Mr.. Nelson, printed
over his signature, and for which he
alone is responsible. This paper is
not going to be drawn Into any dis
cussion of town matters at this
time, but it's columns are always
open to any of our citizens who de-
sire to address the people upon pub
lie questions.
Captain William Turgeon and F.
70. Tarbox, of the Chequamegon Bay
Transportation Company, were in
the city last Saturday, making plans
for the work of their boats for next
season. 1t is likely that Captain
rurgeon will return to his frst-love
next year, and run the Steamer Mary
Scott instead of the Chequamegon.
The gentlemen inform The TINES.
that the statement made in these
columns to the effect that the Skater
would replace the Chequamegon on
the Ashland Bayfield, and Madeline
Island run was wholly mistake, as
the Chequamegon will be continued
on that run the same as in the past
year. The Scott will also run as
usual, and the Skater is to be used
as an excursion boat and for extra
work. The company is contemplat
ing putting picnic ground in near
this city to which they will run ex
cnrsions. They are negotiating fer a
site for such ground, ard will like
ly have a desirable site picked out
before spring.
The second number in the lecture
course was given at the Opera House
Monday evening, at which time Ash
Davis, carte mist, entertained a
good sized audience with an illustra-
ton of clever work. Mr.. Davis was
subs tituted for the detective who
was to have appeared here, but who
was pa: out of business by the Blu
reau having the course incharge, ow-
ing to not being satisfactory. While
