o. A. Ritan, who was here from
Portland, Oregon, last week, to at
tend the funeral of his father, says
that all through the west there are
great numbers of people from Wis
consin. and that one can hardly go
anywhere without meeting some one
from northern Wisconsin. He says
that the Probert bank failure in one
Of the little towns near Portlar d
caught a number Of local business
men, and that they Strengthened up
with the depositors without letting
the financial condition of the bank
be known. 1t seems from Mr.. Ri
tan's account, that some old bank
inc claims were seat on to Oregon
by Michigan and Indiana parties
ard when these were presented TO
Probert he took team and drove to
ear by railroad station, where he
took train bound toward Californ la
This was as far as Probert could be
traced. and nothing further has ever
been heard of him.
Mr.. T. J. Stevenson, of Cornuco-
pia, was in the city Monday for the
purpose of attending the county
boards he being the member from
the town of Bell. Mr.. Stevenson
says he has been working night and
day for weeks on the new Cornucopia
railroad project, and he could hard
ly stop long enough here to look
after public affairs. From Mr..
Stevenson we learn that the survey
for the railroad has been made, and
that a party working under Charles
Lucia have been at work on this
branch of the work for three weeks.
Work commenced Tuesday on fixing
up the old logging roadbed from the
end of the Bay field Transfer tracks,
so that it will be in shape to connect
with the new lire. In thirty days a
crew will be at work on the extern
ton of the road through to Cornu-
copia. Six miles of new road is to
be built. Mr.. Stevenson says the
railroad will pass through a COM
paratively level country and that he
thinks there will be little difficulty
in putting through the line. Super
visor Eben Olson, of Port Wing,
says his town is going to make a
move to have the new road run
through to his place from Cornucopia.
