Du,u.h, Minnesota.

Duluth, in the State of Minnesota, contain
ing about $4,000 inhabitants, is making rapid
strides in commercial Importance since the
opening of the Northern Pacific Railway, On
the line of which it is so tavorably situated.
A "Chamber of Commerce" has been duly
organized, which is taking active measures to
place itself in communication with all similar
organizations throughout the United States
with the view to promoting the growth and
prosperity of the business community that it
represents.
Alta recent meeting of that Board the fol-
lowing was adopted:
Whereas, The time has arrived when our
city must occupy an important position as d
depot for the receipt and transpoltion of grain
and other products CT our agricultural COM
munty, and as the commercial center for the
entire Northwest, itbecomes necessaryto open
those channels Of trade which will contrib
ute most effectually to the development of the
resources of our city and adjacent country,
and secure in the highest degree, the growth
OF our business community; which will facili-
ate commercial Intercourse and rapid trans
mission OF freight at the lowest rates cOmpati-
BILE with remunerative employment; which
will create a healthy competition for supply
ing commodities needed In our rapidly grow
ing state, and in that new country opened by
the grand interoceanc railway of which our
city is one OF the termini; which will bring to
our community from the marts of the East,
return cargoes in exchange for our wheat;
which Shall dem99nSithr a to the merchants
.;pon the se3i~a'd, tbe H.eoS-.-,--r ...;rn
the adu~utages TO be derived from our loca-
ton upon the great highway of commerce,
and which shall promote the general good of
the whole country; therefore,
ResOtUed, That we will use our influence
TO increase our lake commerce SO that return
careoes may come to this port in exchange
for grain and other products, thus affording
to the country back OF us supplies at reasona
BILE cost, aud unburdened by heavy freights.
ResOtoed, That as water transportation is
the cheapest and to us most available for
1920 miles and enables our products to be
Landed upon the seaboard at much less cost
in better condition than they could possibly
be carried by rail, while the freight for the
country in our rear, can be brought more
cheaply to our doors by water, it is our duty
TO give our trade to those cities lying upon
Lake Erie, and to cultivate intimate CONNER
ciaI relations with Eastern cities in preference
to those OF Lake Michigan.
Resolued, That sound policy dictates that
we should connect our interests as far as posi-
Die with those upon Tue SeaDoafd ana also
with those in the interior of the country now
opening through the North Pacific Railway,
to the end that we may avail ourselves of the
natural advantages of our position, encourage
and develop the immense min
eral and agricultural recOurces with which we
are so pre- eminently favored.
We also notice that the "Union improve
ment and Elevator Company" have about
new grain elevator in Duluth,
which is to be ready for the reception and
shipment of grain on the first of September

To the Editor Of the Press:
Here am, at this place, rain-bound! Yes, il
rains! We should call it a smart rain Ordina
rily, but now the earth is SO dry, that unless
we have more, what has fallen Will be of very
little benefit Farmers and in fact every one
are complaining bitterly of the dry, hot
weather. Pasturage is SO short that many are
with hay. Corn will be very good IN this town
generally, but other crops must be slim, even
if RAIN should fall in abundance
Cumberland is very long and narrow town,
in length about eight in width about four
miles. 1t was formerly a part of North Var
mouth, but in 1921, about year after Maine
became State, it arrived at its majority and
received its freedom. 1t is a good farming
town, yielding good crops OF hay, corn, pota-
toes aud whatever else, if in large quantity,
always gladdens a farmers heart.
The Center is village of some thirty-five or
forty houses. 1t is situated upon pretty emf
hence overlooking wide and beautiful stretch
of the surrounding country, aud is about one
mile and halt from the Portland and Kenpe-
bee railroad. Here there is an academy which
Mr.. Greedy OF your city founded some eight
or ten years ago. At his death he left a will
in which was a bequest OF $50 900, to be used
for the establishment and support of an acad-
envy. The money, however, was not to be used
during the lifetime of his wife. She survived
her husband but short time, and the building
was erected two years ago, or nearly that The
conditions of the request are that all scholars
of the town and none other between the ages of
twelve and twentyone years may attend with
out paying tuition. The school is in a flourish

IT is well established fact that disease
kills more soldiers than battle. For instance,
in the Crimeau war the French lost 95,615
men out of 100000, or about 80 per cent, Of
whom $4,000 died Of cholera, scurvy, NORTH
cation and typhus. The Piedmontese lost but
% as the direct result of fighting, but about
$500 died. Of the Russians 10000 were killed
outright, less than $4,000 died of wounds, bul
more than $4,000 OF fatigue or disease. But
the most striking lesson is taught by the Brit
ISL army, which lost in all 22,1S2 out of ,S74
men; only 1900 of them by the enemy's
swords or guns. In the Italian campaign the
French loss in killed amounted to 1864, while
5000 died of disease. The losses by disease
even in the Union army were twice as greal
as by fighting. Medical science is doing much
to improve the sanitary regulations of army
life so that better provision is made for pre-
venting disease as well as for taking care OF
the wounded.
