HE DULUTH HARBOR. ake Superior News says: ‘The com the chamber of commerce whieh inted to consider matters pertaining 0 tt eS kaphoronient of Duluth harbor made States engineers, and citizens interested be- ing invited to be present. Captain Quinn was present and stated that the secretary of war would not approve the | leads, North or South of above Courses, expenditure of any portion of the appropria- | tion now avuilable until the dock line ques: tion was settled. .It was also represented that the present appropriation would be covered back into the treasury with no pos- sible show for further appropriation unless an agreement was reached, and whatever plan was adopted would become a part of an elaborate system of improvements. The captain said he had talked with members of the city council, with vesgel owners and masters, and with vessel men of every class; ~ the st ants ot property own- ers on both Rice “Minnesota points, and, bearing in mind the necessities of com- merce and the interests of the govern- ment without making any recommenda- tion or seeking to influence the action of this or any other body, he had, at the re- quest of the coinmittee, drawn the map ac- companying this report, indicating lines that stemed to be most likely to be accepta- ble to all parties in interest. The map prepared by Captain Quinn sug- gests an extension of the dock line on the east side of Rice’s Point to within one thousand feet of the center of the harbor, with a cor- | responding extension on the west side of Minnesota Point, leaving the harbor two thousand feet wide and one and three quar- ters of a mile long, containing about six hundred acres. Following is a copy of letter from com- mittee chamber of commerce,Duluth,Minn: Dou.urs, Mrinn., April 16, 1886. Dear Sir: The undersigned, a committee of the chamber of commerce of Duluth, ap- pointed to consider, the matter of harbor improvements, beg leave respectfully to recommend and request, in behalf of the chamber of commerce and citizens of Duluth. that whatever money may be available for improvements in the harbor of Daluth for the current year be expended; first, in re moving any bars that may have formed in the dredged portion of the harbor; and sec- ond, in enlarging the basin of the harbor so as to give more room for vessels to ride at an- chor, and respectfully submit the following as reasons tor such recommendation : 1, Our commerce during the past season increased to such an extent that vessels were not unfrequently obliged to wait for an opportunity to unload at the docks and to load at the elevators, and in the meantime to ride at anchor in the basin. At one time during the last season there were thirty.two vessels in the harbor. The large amount of grain in our elevators and the large amount of ore being mired. by the Minnesota iton company for shipment east, led us to confidently expect a large increase in the number of vessels entering our harbor this season over last. 2 Our harbor is essentially a harbor of refuge, and the only one accessible within eighty miles of the south shore, and the only one on the north shore; and it seems to us necessary that the basin of our harbor should be so enlarged that fleets of vessels bound eastward or westward, may, in a storm, run into our harbor and come to an anchor without fear of colliding with other vessels. In the past season we have seen the necessity of this, as on some occasions in northeast storms as many as twenty-nine vessels in one night have made our harbor for safe shelter, and with the increase of the commerce on Lake Superior such instances will be more frequent, and we should pro- vide for such emergency. 8. We do not deem it advisable that any money should be expended the present sea- son in dredging a channel slong the east side of Rice’s Point, because there is no such immediate urgent necsssity for this as for the enlargement of the basin,and because we are very desirous of securing a change of the dock line along the east side of Rice’s Point before any money is expended on that channel; and it is our purpose to pro- cure legislation at the next session of con- gress authorizing such change, with the consent of the secretary of war and engineer department. Hoping ovr recommendations may meet your approval, we are, major, very respect- fully, your obedient servants, O, P. STEARNS, J. D. ENsi@n, L. MENDENHALL, ALEx. McDOUGALL, W™. W. Bitison, | Mag. Cuas. J. ALLEN, i United States Engineer. Tae Century.—In the Century the place of honor is occupied by an article on the ‘Life of Lincoln.’ Messrs. Nicolay and Hay, the authors, evidently endeavor to write a plain narrative of a famous but plain man. They have not hesitated to point ont the | shortcomings of their subject, and this de- | parture from the habit of making so-called | biographies simply indiscriminating lauda- | tions is peculiarly refreshing in the case of | the President emancipator. The article on | the “Food Question in America and Eu- | rope,’? by Edward Atkinson, is a valuable contribution to the science of social econom- ies. ‘The Second Day at Gettysburg” is, | from a certain point of view, interesting; but the general public are beginning to think that not one of the least unfortunate lega- cies of the Rebellion is an outbreak of war literature which threatens to become en- demic. Howell’s story, ‘‘The Minister’s Charge,” has come to a conclusion, and Stockton’s ‘‘Hundredth Man’’ is sensibly becoming more deeply interesting. The serious poems and Bric-a-Brac are quite up | to the average of Century poetry.

JOHNSON & BATES 927 Erie St., Racine, Wis, THE INTER OCEAN OF * CHICAGO * In Circulation and Political influence is the Leading Republican Newspaper IN THE NORTHWEST. THE INTER OCEAN has from the beginning been the defender of home institutions and American ideas. Itis the advocate of equal rights for all be- fore the law, of protection to American labor, and of the idea that America is for Americans--not nec- essarily Americans by birth, but true citizens of the Republic. It believes'in the West and Western men, holds to the idea that the future seat of em- pire will be in the Mississippi Valley, and is bold and aggressive in its opposition to the unholy alli- ance between the money-changers of New York City and the States lately in rebellion. THE INTHR OCEAN is earnestly in favor of the Republican party because it believes the principles of that party are correct, and that, honestly car- ried out, they will best protect the rights and ad- vance the interests of the whole people. It is not, however, a blind follower, but is always ready to © denounce Republican wrong-doing, either in high or low places. THE INTER OCBAN has always maintained that the Nation is under an obligation to the soldiers ot the late war, who jeopardized their lives to protect it from armed treason, which it can never repay, and, consequently, has advocated the establish- ment of Soldiers’ Homes and the enactment of such pension laws as would leave no disabled vet- eran in want. . Asa Newspaper THE INTER OCEAN is not ex- celled in the United States. Aside from the service ofthe Associated Press, in which it holds a mem- bership, it keeps a large body of Special Corre- spondents, both in this country and in the Old World,and has SPECIAL LEASED TELEGRAPHIC WIRES connecting its Chicago office with WASH- INGTON and NEW YORK, in both of which cities ithas le oe NEWS BUREAUS and maintains Branch Offices. 5 . {The Paily Inter Q@cean Is published every day in the year.
