Great Play Coming Friday Night.

Our people who love to be amused
may feel grateful for the chance
they will have to see a real good
show. 'The Man From Sweden,
that comes to the Opera House Fri
day night, January 22.
The Brooklyn Daily Eagle says OF
Knute Erickson, who appeared as
Carl Anderson. The Man From
Sweden:
He reminds one so much of Emit
in his balmy days, always smiling
and singing and the audience always
waiting for him to come on the
stage. We couldn't get enough of
him; he seems 20 have that mag
netic way of getting right into the
heaats OF his audience. The sturdy
man who have helped to make the
Northwest most prosperous coun,
try with their good citizenship are
OuC Va Vic CIldl dCUGI ID tltiS VI UuO Old :.
The story tells of the misfortunes of
the Jefferson family, the sale of the
farm by mortgage, the act of a
villianous lover who has been re-
pulsed and stopped through the
vigilance of the hoaest Swede. The
trials OF the Swede to use the Ameri-
can tongue make the play most
laughable. Besides being recognized
as the only original and best Swed-
ish dialect comedian on the Ameri-
can stage, Mr.. Erickson has a good
singing voice and is an entertaining
instrument alst. The supporting
company were very good, and when
the vast audience filed out of the
theatre there was a smile on their
lips and laugh in their hearts. Go
and see THE Man From Sweden.

THE COMING SEASON
A Few Remarks Upon the Question
OF Our Settlement.
"KNOCKING" By HOME PEOPLE
What Some Of the Agents and Owners of
Land Find Detrimental to Interests.
and to That of the Settlement
of the Country.

In a few weeks the land seeker
will again be visiting us with view
OF ascertaining the deslrability of
bayfield, county as a place for home.
We have in the county few real
live wide-a wake land agents and
owners and they have done great
deal for US within the past year or
two. Actual settlers have come to
US IN larger numbers than in any
previous years. The TIMES, in con
versation with several of the lead.
ing land owners and agents, has
heard them make complaint of our
own citizens for their failure to en-
courage those prospective settlers.
One OF the land men told us last
summer that it was hardly safe TO
allow prospective settler to talk to
the people of the city as one could
never tell where the knocking on
the quality of the land was to begin.
AT Iron River the same thing exists.
There overwhelmingly. good
many people in Bayfield, county who
have never taken the pains or trouble
to acquaint themselves with the true
value OF our soil, and it's adaptability
for farming, and these people are al
ways shouting themselves hoarse
declaring that this will never make a
farming country, when if they would
take day or two Off and 90 among
the farmers they wonld find that
this is destined to become dairy
and farm region, and that the men
nov upon our lands are making a
success. The business people of
our towns are beginning to realize
shat farming is going to form great
part OF the future of the country and
are joining hands in encouraging

son who believes in the value of Bay
field county lands should make them.

every attempt upon the part of I'M
thinking and uniformed people
among US who say aught to detract
from the quality of our lands. Meet
such statements with the facts and
present your argument SO convinc

not be a single resident of Bayfield,
county that has not been convinced
that our land is as good as the best.

which Case many were inclined to
leniency in the prosecution, it being
his first offense, and he being man

securing him his position as secre-
tary express little sym pathy for him
IL his present difficulty, and he will
undoubtedly find it hard work to
raise the $1,000 which be is reported
S hort. Mr., Erickson had paid 81 900
on his shortage in this county which
amounted TO $500 and there were
many who thought he would succeed
in having his difficulties here
Strengthened out, as he undoubtedly
could have lad, was he inclined to
shoulder the burden of his past mis-
deeds. and return to Sawyer county
It's money; the appropriation of
which to his own use, he had practic-
ally acknowledged by the payment
of the 81, 900 to apply on the alleged
