Mrs. Wiley secured the recommendation
! Of Judge A, w. Wilkinson for executive
| clen1ency, and of County Attorney John
McLennan. So persistently did she work
for her husbands S pardon that she was
taken i'll. She explained to Hazel, a.
brown eyed lass, that no more work could
be done for the father for awhile. Hazel
promptly stole the petitions from the
house and ran to the courthouse. She
secured signatures from county and city
officials as well as business men who mar

seasons, will again come to the front the

Robb will get out 1900 cords for the Hauer-
Log company and Martin Bros. Of Duluth will

good the coming season the Northern Pacific,

Special to The Journal.

special to The Journal.
Superior, Wis, Nov. At is expected
that the mill of the Murray Lumber com
pany at Ashland Will be removed to this
city and located at the site of the old
Scofield mill for the purpose of saving
lumber from logs brought to the city, by
the Edward Hines Lumber conpany. of
Chicago. The mill was built at Ashland
two years ago and is practically new and
modern in every respect. The members
of the firm have been in the city looking
over the situation for some time, and local
men returning from Chicago to day, where
they have been in regard to the matter,
state that it is probable the deal VIII be
closed.
If the mill comes here there is assur-
ance that probably two saw mills viii be
operating in this city for six years or
more The Peyton. Kimball & Barber
is not thru with its saving career as vet.
while the mill to go in on the old Scoaeld
site will have a, tract Of about 200, 100000
feet Of timber to saw upon, and this Will
probably take it six years. The Hines
people are anxious to have a. mill to saw
their timber. and if the Murray mill does
not come it is practically certain that
some plant will be built here.

| out of the Superior shipyards as the best

Christopher Columbus whoch was built
here. The mems quarters are fitted up
with the same elegance as the quarters
| Of the officers on most boats on the great
lakes. Captain j. G. Byers is in command.
! It is expected that the steamer Wiscons
sin will not be launched this week, as It
IS easier to complete her while under the
big electric crane than it would be after
she was launched and in the water.
Big Hunting Seaosn.
The hunting license record at the office
Of the county clerk shows that the sea-
son here promises to be a big one. The
number Of licenses issued is greater than
| at the corresponding time last year and
not far from the total number of last
year. Tho provision Of the law providing
that no game be sold does not seem to af-
