watch it. Finally one of the first base

NEW STATE OF SUPERIOR"

The long-talkedof proposition to organize new
state to consist sef the mining region of Northern Min
nesota, Northern Wisconsin and the upper peninsula of
Michigan taken in earnest in the city of Superior
last Wednesday and of the business section of
the city is in progress. The will probably be
tended all the principal cities in the proposed domain
providing the agitation meets with favorable enough
response to warrant it.
1t is understood that the iron mining people are
those chiefly interested in the movement and that they
strongly favor the creation of the 4State of Su-
perior"
The first question to be asked s-Wheren would
be the benefit to the Northwest? Would it help the
Northwest commercially indusrially in transportation
facilities and rates? Would it help this section polit-
icaly? Would it be good thing from the standpoint
of social development and civilization? Would add
the population of this section? Would it be good thing
for the people of this section regards the public
terests in the mining property railroads. royalties
and good government?
There is only reason why the mining interests

States Steel company for that corporation the

ton OF the state and that is, that it would give
this interest stronger control of the Lake Superior

ment regulation of this iron-producng section
1t would though this phase of the case
would be sufficient to settle the agitation The
state if born, would be unpopular and the subject
of wholesale rdicule and abuse, before it got fairly
planted in its cradle. 1t would be known the
Steel Trust State, the Billion Dollar Province

for anything except the iron combine would be gone
The result would be the serious retarding of the de-
veopment of the entire Lake Superior region In popu-

Wisconsin and Michigan outside of the district
roed by the iron and steel interests, would certainly
give the proposition black eye, for that matter and
make the project impossible, by of their public
interests in state mines, taxes and transportation acI
tiles and rates.
1t is probable that Duluth h-Superior, the me-
tropos of the proposed state would suffer, by
of the aversion of population and business to place
themselves under the rule of iron combine Certain

positive gain would be United States SENATOR'S but

Just at present the letter has only
caused some talk and has brought
forth the promise on the part of some
men that the matter will not be al

GRANT HALF HOLIDAYS.

A committee of the local branch of
the Consumers League has talked with
the different merchants regarding the
principles of the league and has also
presented to each one the letter found
below. Only merchants employing
lady clerks lave been visited, but the
sentiment expressed in this letter APP
pears 70 meet with favor, and all have
signed but two, and the latter have
taken the matter under advisement and
will, perhaps, accede to the request in
day or two. The letter herewith fol-
lows
'We, the undersigned officers of the
Wausau branch of the Wisconsin Con-
sumars' League, wishing to be in line
with our State League, respectfully
suggest to you the philanthropic de-
parture (already endorsed in other
principal cities of Wisconsin, of grant
ing one-half holiday in each week,
during the month of August, to your
lady clerks"
Following this is postscript stating
that if the above is acceptable it shall
be signed and returned, otherwise to
be returned unsigned.
The letter is addressed by Mrs. w. G.
Dickens, president; Miss Virginia Man
son, vice-president, and DR.. Margaret
Trevitt, secretary and treasurer. 8
The committee states that the sigma
lures and replies to this letter show
that not only are our merchants up-to-
date in all that is philanthropic and
progressive, but many of them are do
ing more in the way of vacations than
is petitioned for by the League. That
body is consequently proud to make
such complimentary reports to the
State League relative to Wausau mer-
chants. The ladies effected by this
have already begun to take their vaca-
tons, and it is presumable that this rule
will be in order each year hereafter,
without the solicitation of the League.
