The famous aeroplane which has

at last been discovered. The Iron
River Pioneer has the answer in it,
issue of last week. Every body has
about concluded that this myster.
ious visitor was toy balloon but no
one could discover who was sending
them up with such regularity. The
secret is out. There has been a great
ice carnival going on at Lake Nebag-
anon and part of the celebration
was sending was sending up each
evening of several balloons such as
are usually used for Fourth of July
celebrations. The distance is only
about thirty miles either to Duluth or
Ashland and when the wind was right
we got it and when west Duluth got it,
and there you are. Nebagamon will
soon be through celebrating and the
aeroplane will be seen no more. The
balloons were sent up from the Lake
Nebagamon ice palces soon after dark.
They certainly were far reaching in
their results, and if the ice palace
managers had only been wise to what
was going to happen they could have
landed whole lot of free advertis-
