August Kennedy, J. Scott Ellis,
Mrs. George Loranger and Ed.
Ellis turned over their holdings
in the Bay City Land company,
but this has not sufficed to pay
up the debts. It is understood
that the recent receivers have
between forty and fifty thousand
dollars worth of assets to convert
into cash yet including six
thousand dollars life insurance
policy, ten thousand dollars in
mortgages, and certain ret
estate, but when all debts are
paid, the depositors who get 10
exceed fifty cents on the dollar
will be lucky.

Effort Being Made to Secure One
for this City.
TOWN HALL BUILDING SUITABLE
Company Asks That $4,000 Worth Of
Stock be Subscribed for by the
Citizens Factory Will Employ
About Seventy Workmcn

During the past two weeks
the commercial club has been in
correspondence with the G. P.
Larson Shoe company, of Eau
Claire, and it is possible that the
plant may be moved to this city.
A representative of the company
was in the city last Thursday
looking over the field and seemed
to be pleased with theprospects.
We give below the last letter
received from the company:
Eau Claire, Wis, March %, 'O6.
Nels M. Oscar, Se'cy Com, Club,
Washburn, Wis.
Dear Sir:
In answer to your letter of
the 23rd asking what other in
ducements besides those set
forth in your letter, would be re-
quired. will say that we have
oeen making for jobbers, as it
requires more capital to make
for the retailer. AS we have
|outgrown our present quarters
and no suitable building to be
had in Eau Claire, we had
planned to go to Milwaukee
where we would not have to
build but could lease, besides,
would have less freight to pay
and it would be nearer to our
customers. five should move
to Washburn we ask the citizens
of Washburn to subscribe to
$40, 900 worth of stock, the reby
increasing our capital enough to
warrant US going after retail
trade direct. as it takes more
money to make for the retailer
than for the jobber., Ii the citi-
zens of Washburn are willing to
subscribe to the $4,000 worth of
the stock we believe the city
should give the building on con-
tract and also exempt US from
taxes for tern of years. We
believe it would be tc the inter
est Of the city to do everything
possible, as by doing so, in this
case, there would be Washburn
capital as well as ourselves in
terested.
The building 50 x 100 two
story would answer to start; but
would soon be too small. How
much additional ground belongs
to this property other than what
is covered by the building? This
is quite ala important point as
we would not care to have to
move agrin, soon, as it means a
great deal of expense.
Trusting that this will set
matters quite clear to you, we
beg to remain,
Respectfully yours,
c.. p. LARSON SHOE Co.

New Copper Strike.

It is authentically reported that Ed. Tuaner, Supt. for B. f. Mil lard, (Galena Bay Co.) in the Kotsina valley, has recently opened up vein of solid bornite from four to seven feet in width. It is un- derstood that this discovery was made on a claim which was staked in 1898. The claim heretofore has been known to carry high grade ore, but the new strike confirms the value and opens up new vein Samples of the ore exhibited in this office are of the highest grade bornite.

Rinchinbfook Light Assured.

The PkosREcroR is in receipt of a report of the conference committee on the Lighthouse bill, from,G. W. Esterly. of Washington, D. G.
 In reference to the Hinchinbrook light, the report reads: Amend ment No. 1g'provitles for a light and fog signal station on Cape Hinchinbrook, Alaska, at a cost not to exceed s75.000. The House recedes from its disagreement with an amendment which will leave the definite location of the light house to be hereafter fixed by the Light House Board and which. in- creases the amount of the author ization to $125 900, which sum it is believed by the House managers is necessary for the construction of the lighthouse proposed"
 The Senate amendment, as final ly adopted by the committee is as follows: In lieu of the language proposed insert the following: "A light and fog signal station, Hinckinbrook entrance, Prince William Sound, Alaska, at a cost not to exceed $125,OOO."
 In explanation of the change from Cape Hinchinbrook to Hinch- inbrook entrance, Mr. Ester ly states that it was to allow the Light-House Board, in it's discretion, to construct the lighthouse. directly at or upon those seal rocks where the greatest danger lies, though it would cost very much more. He also states that the repo was agreed upon by both the Senate and the House on June 14th, and now only awaits the signature of the president to become a law.
 B. F. Willard, of the Galena Bay Mining Co.,, came up on the Santa Clara. He reports that as, devel- opment progresses, the Vesuvius group of claims is proving to be all or more than has been claimed for it. Surveys have been made by Mir. Willard in Galena and Boulder bays with a view to putting in an aerial tram.

Death of Duncan Clark.

The accidental shooting Of Duncan
Clark last week was received here
with much sorrow, as he had many
warm friends and admirers in this
valley. Mr.. Clark married Miss Mel
lie Bennett, a daughter of Mr.. and
Mrs. W. E. Bennett, who were old
timers in the valley, Miss Bennett
having been born and raised in this
community. The untimely taking
off OF this popular young man has
been a shock to the entire state, for
he was a general favorite and one Of
the most prominent figures in Front
Ter Day exercises, where he carried
away many prizes for prowess and
dexterity. The universal regret at
the death of this young man shows
how deep a hold integrity of purpose
and square dealing has upon the pub
lie mind, for MI. Clark was for a
Square deal" first, last, and all the

No town in Wyoming need dispair
of finally having railroad connections
with the outside world. There was a
time when those who were supposed
to know predicted that no railroad
would ever be built into Lander, yet
that city Is making an elaborate toilet
preparatory to receiving the North
western within her city precincts.
The same may be said of Buffalo, to
which point engineers of the Colorado
n Southern are now directing their
footsteps. 1t was said of both these
cities that while they occupied ideal
sites and were blessed with every add
vantage, that they were SO situated
that no railroad could build into them
and find a way out. Before the pres
ent era of railroad building in Wyom-
ing comes to a close there will be
some surprises for it's inhabitants.

1t is not generally known that edi-
tor Chaplin, of the Laramie Republi-
can, is and old time-tried railroad
IA He has not been in the bust
ness for some time, but his experience
enables him to speak with authority
in matters pertaining to the handling
of trains. He broke one trip, Lara
mic to Rawlins and back, in the early
eighties, and the wages due him are
still unpaid, as he was too modest to
go up and sign the pay roll. This
gives him a very strong pull in the
Hartman management. as they are
afraid he may yet step in and demand
his wages and the accrued interest.

A Philadelphia Politician.
The story from Niece of "a Pennsyl-
vanian who is beating the Riviera
casino for 5000 a day leads to the
immediate conclusion that he is a
Philadelphia politician.

organ, the most powerful in the

Editor Writes up His Wedding.

AAh Wy I'o
This is the first instance in several
years of newspaper work that the edi-
tor has dared to tell the truth about
a wedding, for fear OF getting licked.
The bridegroom is an editor and is not
a popular and accomplished leader
of society. In fact, he doesn't know
as much as a rabbit. His hair is red
and the freckles on his face crowd
each other for room. In the dusk it
is hard to distinguish him from a
telephone pole. He has never con
sidered that the future looked bright
or promising. 1t has always kept
him too busy paying his board bills
to have any dreams about future
greatness. He is just IA common sort
of fellow and claims distinction only
in that he is a Kansan from the soles
of his clumsy feet to the top of his
head. The bride is the Youngest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs y. j
White and was born and reared in
the Solomon valley. Judging from
the job she has taken on her hands,
she is IA young lady of more than or

they met young Edward Twitchell, the
handsome, stalwart son of the old
time benedict.
In a week the pretty little Michigan
girl found that life in Chicago with a
man old enough to be her father was
not the same thing as real love. She
found that the young fellow who was
her stepson had far o. attractions
for her than her staid and very con-
sentative husband. In fact, before the
month was out, she was head over
heels In love with the son of her elder
ly husband. And, as If to add to this
strange mix-up, the son himself was
just as madly in love with his own
stepmother-the wife of his father.
OF course, such things couldn't go
on forever. Mr.. Twitchell, ST., soon
Learned that he stood in the way Of
Mr.. Twitchell, Jr. He taxed his wife
with loving his son. Proud of her love,
she owned up.
And so the case was taken to court.

McEwen decided in his favor. He
frankly admitted that he wanted his
wife to be happy, and for that reason
he was going to give her to his o n.
