of Wisconsin Press Association.
westerly county of the state of Wis
consin. 1t has an area of about SO by
SO miles, has a level and moderately
rolling surface, and is well waterea
and drained by living streams. Ir has
a strong, rich soil, we'll adapted for the
raising of roots, grains, grasses and
fruits. The lands not improved con-
tain large amounts of valuable tim
bers and woods: pine, cedar, maple,
birch, spruce, poplar, Eastwood, etc.
The county is traversed by numerous
wagon roads and by all the railways
that enter Superior. 1t embraces IL
town governments, one incorporated
village and one city.
The county, outside of the city, con-
tains population of about six thou
sand, several live villages, 20 post Of
fees, and is well supplied with
churches and schools. The agricul-
tural department of the University of
the State of Wisconsin has established
experimental farms in various locali-
ties in the northern part of Wisconsin.
Two of these farms are located in
Douglas county.
Fine Darying District.
1t is proclaimed by representatives
Of the agricultural department of the
University of Wisconsin that northern
Wisconsin constitutes one of the best
dairying districts in the state. No soil
produces finer hay and clover, and
small grains grow and mature readily,
producing good crops. The cities of
Superior and Duluth furnish an excel
lent market for butter, eggs, milk, fruit
or any produce from this soil. Land is
cheap, the climate healthful, and alto
gether Douglas county offers rare in
ducements for anyone desiring to pro-
cure lands from which to get good re-
turns.
Superior, with it's immense shipping
facilities, manufacturing, excellent sys-
tenn of public schools, churches of all
denominations, healthy and invigorat.
ing climate, beautiful parks, canoeing,
boating, fishing and hunting, offers in
ducements for business, for the home
and for recreation exceeded by no
other city in the northwest.

Large Elevators and Docks.

Among the grain elevators, coal
docks and ore docks on the borders OF
the harbor, are some of the largest in
the world. The traffic in and out OF
the harbor of Superior and Duluth
one-half of which is handled at Superb
or, is second in volume and importance
to that of the port Of New York.
It's excellent location as a distribut-
ing point and facilities for shipping
either by water or by rail, and with
70,0O0-horse power available from the
Great Northern Company, through the
development of the water power of the
st. Louis river, the great iron ore de-
posits to the north, west and east,
right near by, the markets afforded by
the surrounding country-all tend to
make Superior most desirable point
for manufacturers and wholesalers,
and assure the rapid and continuous
growth of great city at this point.
The City's Institutions.
The city has numerous churches, a
state normal school, II large and mod
ern public school buildings, including
a central high school now building, to
cost over 100000, several parochial
schools, city hall costing $150,000, a
federal building that cost 100000, a
public library, large and modern
opera house building, nearly complet-
ed, an asylum for the chronic insane,
costing 100000, two large hospitals,
several hotels, many business blocks
and fine residences. The city is light
ed by electricity and gas, supplied with
pure lake water, has paid fire depart
ment, and many miles Of paved streets
lined with shade trees and concrete
sidewalks in all parts of the city.
Rapid Growth in Population.
The growth of Superior in recent
years has been phenomenal. The CEN
sus Of 1880 showed population of
only 655; the census of 1890 showed
13,468, while the state census of 1905
gave the city 43,499, placing it ahead
of every city in Wisconsin excepting
Milwaukee. The estimated population
of Superior to-day is $4,000, and that
of its sister city just across the bay in
Minnesota is 10000, making a city of
practically 100000 at the head of Lake
Superior. These cities are connected
by one combined railway, street car
and wagon bridge, three railway
bridges and several ferry lines. One
company controls the electric street
car lines of Superior and Duluth, and

The city of Superior, in Douglas
county, Wis, is named after the great
lake at whose westerly end it is locat-
ed. 1t is modern, built on an elevated
plateau and fronts on one of the finest
land-locked harbors on the great lakes.
This harbor is large and roomy and
capable of handling an immense
amount of traffic. The United States
government is now constructing a new
entrance to this harbor from Lake SUI
perior, protected by breakwaters, the
total cost of which improvements will
be $2,000,000. 1t has two large dry
docks and a shipbuilding plant, and
the shores of the harbor are lined with
Immense grain ELEVATORS, flour mills,
iron ore docks, coal and merchandise
docks.
Seven trunk railway lines are al
ready here to meet the commerce of
the great lakes, and several more rail-
way lines are projected and certain toI
reach Superior in the near future. The

Railway Company, which is confined
to this city. has access to all docks,

A Definition of the Court.

Horace Binney once defined our
court Of final appeal In this way:
The supreme court of the United
States is the august representative of
the wisdom and justice and conscience
of this whole people in the exposition
OF their constitution and laws. 1t is
the peaceful and venerable arbitrator
between citizens in all questions touch
Ing the extent and sway of constitu-
tional power 1t is the great moral
substitute for force In controversies
between the people, the state and the
Union"
1t is an inspiring reflection that So
100000 people instead of resorting to
war and contention leave their dis
puted questions to the arbitration Of
nine learned, gentle and dignified old
gentlemen whose finding commands
the almost instant acquiescence of the
whole nation.
How true it Is that this is govern
ment of law and not of men! The SUI
preme court is the symbol OF the law.
1t interprets the regulations that so
ciety makes and applies them to the
individual members of society. 1t is
the impersonal voice of justice. Equi-
ty, right. truth, wisdom, are the lights
that guide its steps. Removed as far
as may be from passions, factions,
