With the summer boarders
IL gone. the cranberry picking
finished, state election over, school
begun and under way and real winter
not yet upon us Bayport in the late
fall distinctly needs something to en-.
liven it.
This year there were several cues
tons to be talked over and settled at
town meeting. Two selectmen whose
terms expired were candidates for re-
election. Lem Myrick had resigned
from the school committee, not waiting
until spring, as he had announced that
he should do. Then there was the
usual sentiment in favor of better
roads and the usual opposition to it;
also there was the ever present hope
of the government appropriation for
harbor improvement.
Mr.. Tidditt was one Of the select
men whose terms expired In his
dual capacity as selectman and town
clerk Asaph felt himself to be a very
important parsonage. To elect some
one else in his place would be, he was
certain. calamity which would stag
ger the township.
There had been much discussion con-
corning the school committee. Who
should be chosen to replace Mr.. Ny
rick on the board was the gravest
question to come before the meeting.
Many names had been proposed at
Simmons and elsewhere, but some of
those named had refused to run, and
others had not after further consid-

he added, and we all recognized the
quotation, depends upon the choice

A choice was made, however, on the
very next day but one after this dec
laration. A candidate announced him
self. Asaph and Bailey hurried to the
Cy Whitaker place with the news.
Captain Cy was in the woodshed build

The steel corporation counsel and the

Lake Superior ore region.
The chairman had secured rates per

Range and the Duluth. Mesaba & North

state commerce commission, and had en-
ployed an engineer TO compute from these
figures the rate per ton per mile.
The purpose was to show that the
rates charged for hauling ore over the
steel trust yoads were eXorhitant. The
charges, he said. were paid from one
steel trust pocket TO the other. but re-
suited in unjust cost to independen mt
owners and thus increased unfairly their
cost OF production.

Mr.. Lindabury objected to the intro
