Last Stick of Timber was Cut Sat.
urday Afternoon.
With Closing of Saw Mill
Here the Hines Co. Fin
ishes Saving on Bay

Last Saturday afternoon the
saw mill of the Hines amber
company in this city closed down
for good so far as that company
is concerned, and with the clos
ing Of this mill the company
sawed their last stick of timber
on Chequamegon Bay unless
some new deal transpires which
will give them new tim Der which
can be brought here. but this is
altogether unlikely as most of
the stray tracts of timber around
northern Wisconsin have been
picked up by other concerns
who are not likely to let go of it
at any price. Since the advent
of che Hines company into this
part of the country they have
kept a large number of mills
supplied with stock and have put
more lum Der on the market than
any other concern of the kind in
the business. They have given
employment to thousands of
men. winter and summer. for a
long number of years in hand
ling this immense output and
their departure from the bay re-
gion will be greatly missed.
The little mill which has just
closed down here will be sold,
and il is rumored that it will be
purchased by Akeley & Sprague
to be used in saving tim Der
which can be brought here from
small tracts adjacent to this
city.
What little manufactured
stock the Hines company have
left on their docks and in their
yards is being shipped out ra-
pidly and within a few weeks
they will have practically finish
ed their business in this city.
The machine shop which they
have here will very likely be run
for some years yet as it is not
likely that it will be moved to
Iron River.

Our Nexl State Senator.

The average senatorial district In
this state contains about $4,000 In
habitants, but the Thirteenth district
consisting of Jefferson county holds
fully 100000 people, probably 225.00O.
1t Is the equivalent in population, in
wealth and in enterprise of four aver
age senatorial districts. The term of
senator is four years, and he is con-
stantly representative in one respect
or another throughout his term.
This great district should be repre-
sented by the best man whose serv-
ices can be secured. Nat Miller is the
man. He is patriotic from his toes
up. He believes In public service.
He Is ambitious. He Is no more am
bilious than every son of Alabama
should be. He desires to serve his
state and his district up to the full
extent of his experience, knowledge
and capacity. He will make fine and
useful senator. He knows the public
men of his native state. They have
confidence in his integrity and his
power for usefulness. He would be
from the outset an influential and ex-
cellent epresentative-jus such a
senator as the Thirteenth district needs
and should have. Fair-minded, just,
and far-seeing, he would treat all In
terests and all persons considerably,
and he would be sure to secure for
this senatorial district whatever 1t
deserves to have.

kimos are a most conceited race, and that
their own opinion of their musical gifts

ary's wife of whom I have spoken played
on the piano for them, they exclaimed
"She plays almost as well as we" This
conceit of the EskImos makes the mis-
sionaries' task very difficult. What can
a teacher accomplish when his pupils
think they know more than he? The Es-
kimos do not even attempt to argue. but
simply shrug their shoulders and say

so in your opinion. but" And so. in
spite of nearly a hundred and thirty
years of religious training, many of them

ST. HELENA TODAY.
From the London Chronicle.

From the London Chronicle.
The lonely islet of st. Helena is a
kingdom in little with an Indifferent fu-
ture which may be summed up in one
word, Manganese" There is a governor,
who receives e800 a year. besides e2O0
table allowance" and has a staff the
principal officers of which take about
$1,000 year among them. All this human
machinery is required to secure the well
fare of population numbering some $500
souls. In fact, ST. Helenas claim as a
resort for shipping has almost disap-
peared, only forty vessels having called
there last year, while the military gar
rison of the rock has been reduced to
a mere handful. Still the governor con-
tinues to produce an annual report of over
forty octave pages. A thrilling item from
this document is the story of the Illness
Of the printer and the gallant efforts of
his assistant, who with the aid of the
postoffice clerk managed to use up thir-
ty-nlne and quarter reams of paper!
The only bright exception in the lugu-
brious report from the Cape succeeded In
finding large deposits of manganese ore,
and the hope thus engendered that a
company may think it worth while to
work them.

not final in SO great a matter But
whether he does OF not, the democrats
have two great issues that should be
put distinctly before the people for de-
cision-the Dingley tariff and the huge
slush fund contributed by corporations.
Speaker Cannon and President Roose-
welt have both practically put them
selves down as standpatters. Their
promises of tariff revision are too
vague and indefinite to be of any value
whatever and the House of Repre-
sentatiyes, ruled by Speaker Cannon,
refused to pass the bill forbidding
campaign contributions by corpora
tions. The issues are therefore fully
formulated. The republican party
stands for Dingleyism indefinitely and
for more campaign funds gathered
from privilege seekers and tariff bene-
fciaries in huge proportions. The
democratic party should not hesitate
to accept the issues thus presented.
They are altogether good and sufficient.
If this country wants a continuance of
Dingley taxataion for the benefit of
the few, and If 1t wants elections con-
trolled by corporation money, it will
stand by republicanism, but If 1t de-
sires a tariff of honest and just rates
and elections unswayed by loot, it will
go democratic. No better issues need
be sought. The two before us are
typical of the party of Privilege, and
the democrats should write them in
big letters on their banners in 1908.

All Should Vote.

The last appeals to voters bring out
long campaign are SHINY attended.
The weather is hot, the people are
busy, and the candidates stand on q
common platform. All profess I'M
dying opposition to railroads, corpora
lions and monopolies, and all hold out
about the same promises to catch
votes. So the people are content to
stay at home making big crops and
transacting business in a prosperous
state.
This state of things has kept the
campaign in a decent condition. Gross
personalities have been unknown, and
the campaign moves quietly on to Its
close next Monday almost without a
ripple. There is no special glory for
anybody, no charges or counter
charges-just quiet, orderly, good

It Is hoped, however, that the indif.
ference which has characterized the
campaign from start to finish does not
mean a light vote. There are at least
100, 900 democrats in this state who are
qualified electors. This number should
go to the polls on Monday Simply
because they have not become over
heated during the canvass, will not
excuse them from the performance OF
public duty on Monday next.
Let us have full expression of pub
lie sentiment on Monday. There has
not been anything in the campaign to

Trousers On Horses.

he got his ideas of decorum from Com
stock the public censor of morals, is not
known, but 1t is to be hoped for the sake
Of economy that the thing will go no

the latter should be left undressed-that

The Georuia Election.

The Georgia election yesterday seems
to have been landslide for Hoke
Smith for governor.
Mr.. Smith made an admirable Sec
rotary of the Interior under Cleve-
lands last administration. Every de-
cision he made was confirmed by his
successors.
In Georgia politics he has been
rather radical, but it seems that Csor-
gia is radically in favor of railroad
rate reform, the Acknowledgement of
the negro. and other things that Hoke
Smith advocated in the campaign, anil
he was overwhelmingly elected.
With the power of the governorship
Hoke Smith will feel that responsible
ity which influenced him as Secretary
of the Interior, and undoubtedly he
will make governor that Georgia will
be proud of. He has the brains and
the full ability. The conservatism
comes with the responsibility

Yellow Fever In Louisiana.

The one case of yellow fever in New
Iberia, La, is still a mystery. The
patent is a mulatto boy 70 years old.
He is rapidly recovering from the
fever. The entire froce of the Louis
lana state board of health is encamped
about him. Six surrounding blocks
have been fumigated, disinfected and
ransacked in the little town. No one
anticipates a spreading of the infec-
ton, and no quarantine has been de-
clared, and probably none will be.
But the situation calls for a full in
vestigation. The doctors agree in say
ing the boy has yellow fever All the
doctors say the case is unmistakable
in its nature. President Irion admits
that the boy has yellow fever-that he
is afflicted with neither typhoid nor
malarial fever, but that he has the yell
low scourge of the tropics.
Did New Iberia spontaneously breed
the disease? Did 1t hold germ Of it
brought over from last season to be
developed in August of this year? New
iberia had yellow fever cases last year
The Louisiana state board of health
should investigate the New iberia case
until the facts are brought out. 1t
stands now a mystery, but President
Irion is on the spot, and he should ex-
plain to other states how 1t happened
that Hmulatto boy IL years old in an
interior town suddenly became afflicted
with yellow fever. The mosquito the
DRY is involved in the case, and Louis
ianas sanitary reputation is also at
stake, and the public have right TO
know the facts. 1t is up to President
Irion to furnish them.

KING is A WINE AGENT.
Alfonso Puts In His Share Time Ad-
vertlslng Sherry. =

London Cor. Chicago Record-Herald.
King Alfonso has this week been re-
ceiving many compliments in the press
on a practical and commercial imagina-
ton which has made him turn his visit
to England to account as a means Of
pushing the interests and renown Of
sherry wine. It is said the world has
never seen any sovereign, and one SO
young. too, so quick to seize the oppor-
tunities OF combining pleasure with bus
mess as he is showing himself to be in
carrying his national wine in his pocket
for purposes of advertisement. He has
taken his sherry to Scotland with him,
and 1t now appears that at all dinners
and parties given by him at Cowes sherry
occupied a prominent place in the menus.
Out of selection of eight or nine wines
four were usually sherries. and as the
wine was of an unusually fine quality 1t
attracted a good deal of attention.
King Edward complimented Alfonso
upon possessing such wine. saying he
had not tasted such excellent sherry for
many years.
A partner of the firm OF Gondolez Byass
told a representative of the London Tri-
bune that King Alfonso preferred sherry
to any other kind of wine, because in his
opinion 1t was more palatable and better
for the health. The manufacture of sherry
was, moreover, essentially a Spanish in
dustry, and the King had resolved to do
what he could to revive in both Spain and
England the old and famous trade which
had not been too prosperous In recent
years Long ago men had kept decan-
ter of sherry on their sideboards, and
when any one had called 1t was brought
out with biscuits Now women drink moth
ing but tea in the afternoon, and if men
feel thirsty they have whisky and soda.
Twenty or thirty years ago sherry and
soda was the drink of the day.

Vote for Samuel D. WeakIey.

The voters of this district know
Samuel D. Weakley. They know that
his character is as high as his learning
is broad and his mind adapted to serv-
ice In the chief court of this state. 1t
is not often that an ideal candidate
comes before the people in these de-
generate days. The best men nova
days seek more remunerative employ
ment, but in Samuel D. Weakley the
people have a candidate who fills the
Hottest ideal. He is a man whom the
people would have delighted to honor
in the days when public office was con-
sidered the noblest service a man
could render.
There is not flaw in his equip
ment. The voters of Jefferson county
and of the other counties in north Ala
bama, where Mr.. Weakley was born,
know what kind of man he is, and a
great effort should be made to give
him the fullest possible vote where he
is best known. North Alabama can
elect him by giving him full vote,
for he has friends and supporters in
other sections of this state. In some
way the voter ascertains the qualifica-
lions of an aspirant for given place,
and in all parts of this state the high
standing in every respect Of Samuel
d. Weakley has become known, Men
have come to know that he would
make a chief justice worthy to rank
with Brickell and Mcclellan. Ala
bama needs such man at the head Of
her highest court and he can be put
there if every man especially in north
Alabama will make an effort to swell
his vote on Monday to the highest pos
sible figures.

Wyswonger, constitute the ticket named
by the Ohio democrats mere today in
session somewhat isrvid in temperature,
in oratory and in methods of voting.
The day was close and suItry, few dele
gates wore coats, and many sought cool
er places outside the hall before final adj
journment this last fact making possible
the casting Of votes of several delegations
by unauthorized persons during the last
few ballots.
A number of counties were challenged
and several persons put out of the hail
for such improper voting, but 1t did not
seem to affect the result materially in
any case. During the first hour and a
half of todays session, the question of an
endorsement of county options In temper
ance legislation was under discussion, an
attempt by w. l. Finley to amend the
platform and give such an endorsement
being defeated on roll call The discuss
sion developed opposition to the general
idea of county option, while some dele
gates insisted that In having approved
unqualifedly Governor Pattisons poll

enough on the very point for which Mr.

Two Great Issues.

When the republicans controlling all
branches of the government refused to
take any steps to revise the exactions
of the Dingley tariff; when, too, they
refused to pass the bill forbidding cor
porations to roll up campaign funds
when they refused to act on these two
propositions they simply presented the
democrats and all Independents with
all the issues they will need in 1908.
The great source of private monop-
oily is the tariff; the great source Of
public corruption is the slush fund be-
gun in 1896. On these two evils the
democratic party should go to the peo-
pie. They could not have two better
issues, although Mr.. Bryan may add
an income tax to the list. He may de-
mand that a four-by-five decision is

AGAINST the Dives.

IT am delighted to notice the agitation
which has been begun In the daily pa
pers," said resident of the South High
lands last night, against the saloons and
dives located along the lines of the Loop
and Highland avenue cars along Twen-
ty-second and Twenty-first streets and
Avenue B. These dives are a disgrace to
the city and are breeders of crime. And
I don't refer only to the saloons, but the
negro restaurants as well.
II have been talking TO several alder
men about this matter and find that they
are almost unanimously In favor of reg
ulating the nuisance In some way. The
plan 1 would suggest is this: Eliminate
at once and forever a number of these
saloons and joints which are run in
disreputable way by revolSing their Ii
censes and refunding a proportionate part
of It. Allow the decent saloons for there
are some decent ones In that neighbour
hood, to continue their business as long
as they will, but with the restriction that
licenses be not issued to anyone but those
now holding them. BY this means no
hardship would be worked on the present
proprietors, and the district would in
few years be rid of all those saloons
whose proprietors wished to go into some
other business.
II repeat that I am glad the agitation
has started, not only for the sake of the
South Highlanders, but because of the
crime and vice that lives and breeds in
that section. And mark my words, before
the first day of next January there will DE
a pronounced decrease in the district re-
ferred to-"
