CLOQUET AHUsTLING TOWN.
william Scribner, a Resident OF
That Place, Spends Few
Days at His Former
Home In Baraga.

William Scribner, former resi-
dent of Baraga, who, with his fam
lily, removed to Cloquet, Mimi, two
years ago, has been spending a few
days in Baraga. He speaks very
highly Of Cloquet, and as proof of
the growing industries Of the town,
presented the following, taken from
the News-Tribune, of Minneapolis,
dated October 18th:
"Cloquet takes from Minneapolis
this season the title of greatest lum-
Der producing point in the world.
This honor it will retain, as Mime
apolis production will fall off annu-
ally, while the industry at Cloquet
will grow.
Restricted logging operations
above Minneapolis will make the cut
still smaller next season, while at
Cloquet the industry is in its in
fancy. With the addition Of the
Brooks Scanlon mill at Scanlon-an
enormous factory-the Cloquet saws
are about equivalent to those of Min
neapolis.
"The palm was taken this season
by Cloquet, because one mill sawed
all winter, something no Minneapo.
lis mill has ever done. With almost
equal saving capacity at present,
the slight advantage of all the year
cut threw the balance to the north
ern Minnesota town.

In THE EARLY n
OntOnagOn Man Has Copy OF
The Lake Superior Miner,
Of January Z, 1860.

John Miles has copy OF the Lake
Superior Miner OF Jan. Z, 1860, pub
lished at Ontonagon by George ID.
Emerson and ]. w. Grocer. 1t is a
four-column, eight-page paper, and
is filed with the interesting hap
penings of nearly half century ago,
when Ontonagon was the metropolis
Of the copper country.
In those days, especially during
the winter, the mail service was not
very prompt or regular, as the fol.
lowing from the Miner shows: "The
first word from our neie hbors of the
iron district since the close OF navi-
cation arrived by Tuesdays mail,
via Wausau, and required almost a
month before it reached US. Letters
were mailed from the LIST to the 9th
of December.
la mentioning the Minnesota, the
Miner says: Forty eight copper
cutters are at work in the mine-a
far greater number than has been
employed since the great mass was
taken away. The copper which they
are now taking from the mine is OBJ
tanned much more economically than
that of the great mass. !" The great
mass referred to is the one which
was taken from the Minnesota, weigh
ing some $50 tons, four years pre-
vious to that time. 1t is said that it
required twenty men fifteen months,
working with long-handled chissels,
to cut this mass into pieces small
enough for hosting, and twenty.
seven tons OF copper chips were
made in doing this work.
The Miner contained the cards of
about thirty mining companies and
was well filled with local and legal
advertising. Among the profess
sional cards was that OF Edwin ].
Hubert, mining engineer, to whom
belongs the honor OF discovering the
Calumet conglomerate lode. Mr..
Hubert is now living in Rome, Italy.
The Miner contained the announce
ment of the death OF George Miles,
father of William and John Miles,
Of Ontonagon, and it is on account
OF this that Mr.. Miles has kept the
paper all of these years. -Ontonagon

James McKercher, of Spur, was

William Marley, of Ontonagon,
visited friends in Baraga Sunday
last.
H. Hoffman, of Port Huron,

Wednesday.
Martin Cosgrove, who has charge
of the hester farm in Baraga, hands
in the following list of crops, har-
vested during the past season, on
seventy acres Of ground: STA
bushels of potatoes; 1863 bushels OF
beets; 81 bushels of carrots; 1911
bushels OF turnips; 1,782 bushels Of
oats; "a tons of oat straw, and 10
tons OF hay.
The following is said to be a most
practical way to extinguish fire.
Take 20 lbs. OF common salt and 1C
lbs. OF salt ammoniac, muriate oil
ammonia, to be had at any drug
store, and dissolve in seven gallons
of water. When dissolved it can be
bottled and kept in each room in the
house to be used in an emergency
In case OF a fire occurring, one OF
two bottles should be Immediately
thrown with force into the burning
place so as to break them; the fir'
will certainly be extinguished. Thi'
is an exceedingly simple process ant
certainly worth a trial.

Speakers Are Going.
LIKELY TO A RISE

Clarksville, Tenn, September 81.
Everything 10 in shipshape for the
big. tobacco mass meeting ct Guthrie,
KY, Saturday, and the planters Of the
Clarksville dark tobacco district are
aroused as never before to the neces-
sity for concerted action and imme-
diate organization in behalf Of better
prices for the weed.
1t is predicted that the attendance
Saturday will be fully 5000, repre-
senting many counties in Tt nnessee
and Kentucky. CONGRESSMAN John
Wesley Gaines and several other
speakers of note will be present, and
that something definite will be done
now seems certain. The farmers are,
too, forming their county and district
organizations.
So confident are the planters that
plans will be adopted which will en-
able them to hold their crops for bet
ter prices this year than last. that
they are already feeling elated over
what they consider good prospects for
an advance along this line.
As yet no question of politics has
entered into the matter, but it likely
soon will be, as it is openly admitted
by the Democrats now that the to-
bacco trust is for Parker and Davis,
and IL spending mouey to elect them.
Many tobacco raisers are declaring
that they will support no ticket or
candidates that are for the tobacco
trust, or whom the tobacco trust is
for. f..

THE BLOODY RAZOR
ON The MURDERER
Louisville's Latest Mystery Has
Been Cleared.
William Desha. an Alleged Murderer,
Kills Himself In Jail at
Carlisle.
LIGHTNING BOLT KILLS SIX

Louisville, KY, September ell
The mystery surrounding the murder
of Mrs. Fannie Porter, who was found
in q room at jackson and Market
streets with her throat cut, was
cleared up last evening by the arrest
and confession of william Van Dalsen.
Van Dalsen was found st the home Of
. relative at New Albany, Ind. He
admitted killing, Mrs. Porter, of whom
he was enamored. The bloody razor
was found in Van Dalsen's possession.
Van Dalsen's only defense was that
he aud the woman qusrreled, and that
she drew the razor from her stocking.
whsrcupon he wrested it from her and
cut her throat. The police, however,
assert that the prisoner was afraid the
woman would divulge secrets Of his
career, one Of which was that Dalsen
deserted from the navy.
