BINGHAM TO THE RESCUE

The Duluth Commercial club has
stationed w. I. Prince in the cap
itol building at st. Paul to look
after the legislative interests of
this city. Mr.. Prince not only is a
former banker and mayor of his
home town but is a man of ability
and reputation.
We are reliably informed, how
ever, that the St. Louis county
delegation, almost to a man, rather
resents Mr.. Princes presence
around the marble halls of state
legislation. Whether they fear his
scrutinizing eye or merely do not
find him agreeable personally, we
lack definite information. But the
fact remains that his presence is
something Of a frost.
Under the capable and aggressive
leadership Of Bentley P. Neff, one
Of Duluth's biggest and most hui
man men, q committee has. been
appointed by authority of the civic
clubs Of Duluth to 60 to st. Paul
to see that many measures, now

DEEP WATERWAY FROM DULUTH
TO THE SEA.

There is nothing very new in this
slogan, Duluth, Minnesota's Ocean
Port" There is nothing very new
in the men back Of the movement.
The whole thing is very much like
the putting of old wine into new
bottles.
Much more than a quarter Of a
century ago, S. A. Thompson was
preaching deep waterway from Du-
luth to the sea. Many in Duluth
called him Deep Water" Thompson
and still others declared that he was
suffering from water on the brain.
C. P. Craig was rather prominent
in real estate circles in those days,
and undoubtedly, his clarion voice
was raised up in behalf of deep water
from Duluth to Liverpool.
Many an old garment has reposed
in the attic until it came back into
style and then was brought forth as
something new, novel and unique.
s. A. Thompson came back to Du-
luth from Buffalo Sunday, OCTOBER
%, 1892, in which city he attended
a canal convention the week before.
That convention was held to agitate
the improvement of the Erie, canal
but the gathering was made gen.

TWO MIGHTY MOOSE HUNTERS.

l.
Sunday, Nov. 20, 1892, J. w. Mar
vim and the late Dave Abel went
hunting. Near the Wakelin farm,
they saw a moose in the bushes.
Both men began to taste grilled
moose steak. Their mouths fairly
watered as they started to creep up
on the wary animal, their nerves
keyed to the highest pitch.
At the proper distance and mo-
ment, both men took careful aim
and fred. They saw the animal drop
to the ground. With loud whoops
Of Joy they rushed up and, instead of
finding fine young moose, they dis
covered that they had killed a runty
little jackass that was browsing on
the shrubs and bushes.
What Marvin and Abel said would
not be proper to repeat in these col
umns.
The year before that Marvin was
shooting in the preserves of an old
friend whom he was visiting. He
saw black bear in the underground
and, when the rifle cracked, the ami
NAL dropped. Marvin rushed up,
greatly overjoyed, to bleed the wild
animal laid low by his skill with the
rifle. Instead of bear, however,
the animal proved to be thorough

his host.

PIONEER BLIND-PIGGING ON THE,
MESABA IRON RANGE.

While it is charged that blind
pigging exists and even flourishes in
many of the Mesaba iron range towns
despite the Indian lid, blind-piggers
are neither new nor novel for that
section Of St. Louis county. Away
back in 1892, when Paul Sharvy was
sheriff and pulling down anywhere
from $4,000 to $4,000 a year in
the office now occupied by Frank L.
Magic, illicit sale of booze not only
was practiced but deputy sheriffs
really arrested the violators of the
law.
Saturday, November 10, 1892,
deputy sheriff Ross, whom most Du-
luthians have not thought about for
many years, brought three violators
to Duluth.
One Of the lawless bunch was f.
Brousseau, who carried stock Of
booze in 5-gal. can, from which he
poured out single drinks or filed
small TASKS at prices profitable to
himself. Evidence was overwheim-
ing and Brosseau was lodged in Jail.
The faithful wife of his bosom came
over from Superior with 500 in real
money and bailed him out.
Joseph Clovort was another of the
trio. He carried on his nefarious
traffic at Iron Junction, selling the
fiery stuff by the drink to those who
were athirst and had the price. James
Smith, the third man in the bunch,
was reputed to be Clovort's BARTENDER.
He lacked friends and bail, therefore
was held for trial.

BILLY CRAIG'S SMILE.

twenty-five or thirty years ago,
William Craig, now the great local
advocate of low taxes and efficiency
on the part of all municipal servants,
was superintendent of the old Du-
luth Gas & Water Co., a corporation
owned and controlled by a bunch OF
! cold-blooded financial adventures in
the effete but very efficient East.
1t was substantial part of Mr..
Craig's duties to stand between his
far away employers and trouble in
Duluth. There was trouble, and
much of it came from the city coun-
Gil and the board of public works.
In the fall of 1892, Henry Truelsen
was president of the board of public
, works. His associates were Nils Nil
sen and j. B. Farrell, father of the
present commissioner of public
works. Mr.. Craig had a calm, self
possessed, effective but very aggra-
waiting policy of smiling broadly and
blandly when any of the city's SER
wants took him to task.
Late that fall, the members of the
board of public works resented what
they called "Billy Craig's hole-dig-
ging habit" They declared that he
refused or neglected to make repairs
in the proper season but that, as
soon as it became cold, he began to
dig holes to get at watermains that
| required attention. Shows then fell,
covering up the holes and making
them dangerous traps and pitfalls for
the feet of man and beast. Being
greatly peeved one morning in No
vember, 1892, President Truelsen
said:
eve have been at Craig all sum-
mer to get him to do something. but
never a something has he done until
the proper season for such work has
practically passed. He has been most
extravagant with smiles and promises
but very economical in actual per-
Torrance. Now, when winter storms
are upon us, he tears up the streets"
