The Brier Island light house keeper
reported that he could not locate the
Cobeouid on the rocks of the island

as well.
The two men are DR.. @. F. Lang

two men have a corps of assistants.

Not long ago a cheese investigation

IRON RIVER

Pioneer.
John A. Pettingill, who has taken
an active interest in obtaining a
Farmers Institute in Iron River on
December 10th and 18th, has gotten
q number of farmers aCd business
men to assist him in making ar
engagements, and as time draws
near and the plans begin to take
definite form, it appears that the
coming institute in Iron River will
be one of the largest attended and
most successful ever held in this
part of the state.
William Lauri. son of Chairman
Lauri of the town of Oulu, accident
ly shot himself while hunting dee-
last Sunday, inficting flesh wound
that will not prove serious.
The hunters in the Iron River
territory, both local and those COM
| ing here from outside, have been
quite generally successful. Before
the time limited expires, the out.
look is that more than 100 deer will
have been brought into this city.
The scarlatina scare in Iron. River
has passed, and no new cases have
developed during the past week.
All of the patients are getting
along very nicely, in fact most oil
them have completely recovered.
I A. E. Atwood, representing the
Heinz Pickle company, was in town
for day or two last week looking
over the field to see if this commune
ty offered favorable location for a
sailing station. He also visited
Washburn and Bayfield, end it is not
known what will come out of the
visit. He desired that $50 acres OF
cucumbers be contracted for before
the company would consider the es-
tablishment of sailing station in
any locality.
Phillip O. Lund left Tuesday night
to re-enter the employ of the John
son Cash Farebox Company of Chi
cago, who are engaged IN the work

A CATHEDRAL IN DANGER.
ST. Paul's, in London, So Shaky That
Repairs Are Imperative.

st. Paul's, in London, So Shaky That
Repairs Are Imperative.
London's famous cathedral. st
Pauls. is in shaky condition. and the
authorities, alarmed for its safety
have appealed to the public for funds
TO make the repairs that are impera
tive If the structure is to be preserved
COO
The danger of an accident owing to
the present condition of the structure
is source of constant anxiety. The
plans include the removal of iron work
put In by Sir Christopher Wren, the
famous architect. who built the cathe.
dral. This work has been source Of
serious mischief for some time.
The settling walls and unstable piers
on an insecure foundation have threat
ened the total destruction of the ia
nous building for years. An investi-
CATION last year led to considerable
criticism of Sir Christopher Wren's
work. 1t was found that the whole
superstructure is literally laced togeth'
er with iron ties and that the build
ing is so delicateiy poised that If it
were not for these ties it would proba-
bly, fall.
The foundation is said to be almost
the worst that could be found. and the
piers instead of being solid masonry
are only thin shells of Portland stone
filed In with rubble. The weight OF
the huge dome overburdens these piers.
1t will take several years to COM
plete the repairs and alterations which
are to be made.

A woman won't let you abuse her
