Limitations of Fame.

ln Professor Knights "reminiscences Of Tennyson 1t is related that on one occasion when the poet laureate was stopping at an inn in the island of Skye the landlord was asked if he knew who had been staying in his house. and on being informed that it was the poet Tennyson, he replied:
 "Lor'. to think O that! And. sure, ! thoucht he was shentleman"
 At Stirling some one asked the landlord of the house where the poet was stopping:
 Do you ken who you had wi you t'other night:"
 '.Naa. but he was q pleasant shentcl- man."
 Ut was Tennyson, the poet"
 "And wha may he be?'' "Oh. he is q writer O verses sich as ye see f the papers!''
 "Noo. to think O that. Jeest boob lie writer, and gi'ed him ma best bedroom.'
 But the charms of Mrs. Tennyson her gracious manners. did not pass up. noticed. for the landlord said. .Oh. she was an angel.'

 There was but one tonsorial chair, and it was occupied by q stalwart fel low, evidently blacksmith.

Big UNDERTA TAKING WEST
The Weyerhaeuser People Working
on Large Plant in
Tdahn

A correspondent writes us that more
than So, 900, 900 will be expended by the
Weyerhaeuser Timber syndicate of St.
Paul, in the establishment of what will
be the largest sawmill in the United
States near Orofno, Ida, 160 miles
southeast of Spokane. The millsite at
the confluence of Whiskey and Orofino
creeks on the clearwater river is a
mile square, and to connect it with
the Northern Pacific railroad, two log
ging roads, one Of eight miles, the other
45 miles, will be built to tap the forests
having stand of 5000, ,000,0 600 feet of
pine. The Weyerhaeuser holdings eX-
tend so miles into the mountains and
will supply the mill for more than 200
years. Agents have been in the field
for some time buying every tract of
timber land they could get for any
reasonable figure. The Monarch Tim
Der company, recently organized, is
also planning string of mills along
the ST. Joe and ST. Maries river in
Idaho and it is expected to push oper-
ations this year. The Weyerhaeuser
syndicate has plant with an output
of $50, 900 feet daily at Potlatch, Ida,
and with it's new mills it will have a

DEER ATE The OATS
Experience of Farmer With the De-
lusive Quadrupeds.

Experience of Farmer With the De-
lusive Quadrupeds.
Louis Stassel, who has lived in what
is now the town of Marshall for twenty
one years, was in the city from Fern
Wednesday and made call at the
News office. During those twenty-one
years Mr.. Stassel has seen very many
changes. The time when logging was
the only industry thought of. But as
time passed the little patches that were
at first only for gardens, grew into
fields and Mr.. Stassel, with the others,
became farmer.
But the story about the oats and the
deer. The animals were always in the
habit of grazing more or less on the
crops, but it was three or four years
ago that they ate up two acres Of oats
so completely there were none to har-
vest. Mr. Stassel took this in good
part. He would plow it up and SOW to
rutabagas-an after all perhaps the
bagas would be the better crop. The
new crop took root and started we'll
but the deer came back and ate that
too. Mr.. Stassel didn't say how many
times a day he ate venison that sum-
mer but we can guess.
After twenty-one years in the county
Mr.. Stassel believes it the best country
for the man of moderate means.

Operations Begun on the Superior &

put on the road bed of the Superior &
Southeastern branch of the Wisconsin
Central to clear the line for steel laying
Thursday.
This crew is followed by the track
force who complete the line ready for
train. service. Just how much track
will be laid this winter, the News has
not been informed, but it is understood
that rails will be laid to the Chippewa
river at least.
All of this is on the Manning, Clark
& Haviland contract, who are now at
work on the upper portion Of their con-
tract, which portion is we'll advanced.
The laying of steel at this time is said
to have been urged by loggers who are
anxious to bring their timber to Lady

ARE NOW LAYING Steel he READ The ADvS
Agent of Machinery Comya ~ Read
About Ladysmith in the
Dailies

F. L. Clark of ST. Paul, special
representive of the great Russell &
Co. of Massillon, Ohio, was in the city
Thursday. His company manufactures
threshing machines, engines and saw
mills. 1t was the latter item that he
came here to talk about and placed an
agency with John W. Miller.
Mr.. Clark told how he came to be
interested in Ladysmith and Rusk coun-
/ ty. He is a reader of the St. Paul
Dispatch and has carefully read the
articles sent to that paper by the editor
of the News during the last for years.
He was surprised that several mer-
chants in Ladysmith don't appreciate
the free advertising the city has had.
His opinion was that these articles
III the big paper are of inestimable
value to a new town and practically
the only way to reach the outside
world. The best way to kill town is
to stop the kind of advertising.
Mr.. Clark has much to do with the
sale of machinery in the Dakotas. He
says that plowlng there by steam mas
become very common and increasing
every year. He says that farmers
having a section or more of land find
steam plowing cheaper than by teams
and tnat having the steam equipment
leaves the horses available for thresh-
ing and hauling grain to market, which
otherwise is belated ann sometimes the
threshing is not done until spring.
Mr.. Clark says that nearly all recently
sold threshing engines are of the kiud
for plowing While he doesn't think
that this change will tend toward
mammoth farming, he thinks that it
will have an influence toward increase
in size to a section or two.
One of these outfits, Mr.. Clark says,
will plow thirty-fve to forty-fve acres
per day with nine to twelve plows.

For the Complexion.

Try this for the complexion, as well
as for the general health. Every
morning, take a pint Of hot water.
squeeze into it the juice of one lemon
and season with a half teaspoonful of
salt. Drink slowly half an hour be-
fore breakfast, every morning for two
weeks; keep this up for three months,
every alternate two weeks, and it will
clear the complexion, clean coated
tongue, tone up the stomach and act
directly on a torpid liver, without in
turing the health, as the use Of strong
cathartics or quantities of liver
medicine would do.

A TAXATION PROPOSITION.
Improvements to Be Deducted from
Assessments.

The proposition has been suggested
that for time at least the taxation of
improvements Of settlers should be
omitted. The News believes that such
a proposition would be right. 1t may
be said to infringe on the theory of
equal taxation, but such infringement
has been so common that another would
MT add much to the variations.
The fact is that taxation on improve
ments is a sort of penalty for industry
anyhow. Our settlers have enough
things to do-all Of which increase the
value of spectators lands without
paying any more taxes than is neces-
sary.
We believe in the proposition.
