ling the bulk of the business.
Both !, the North Western and the

quantities of logs to Menominee and
to Marinette and other Wisconsin

counties. The 500 line. the Duluth,
South Shore & Atlantic, the Munising,

mas recently, with some of his lieu
tenants, made swing around the state.
and is reported to be- well satisfied with
the conditions of his fences Some of
the shrewdest politicians in the state
do not hesitate to make the prediction
that while the fight may be close one.
congressman Burke will defeat Sena-
tor Crawford and capture the republi-
can nomination. for the United States
senate.
They base their prediction on alleg-
ed dissatisfaction among many pro
gressiye republicans with the course Of
Senator Crawford at washington. and
his certain loss of several thousand
democratic voters, who, when he was
originally elected to the senate, are
said to have cast their votes for him,
they being able to do this through de-
fects in the election laws which then
were in force. Under the primary law,
which will govern the election March
