connects this trip with negotiations for build

the people of Sauk Centre should take the
hopeful view of the situation, and that the
editor should confidently look for substane
tial results" but We !hink the general tenor
of the article places too much stress upon this
sentence: "Col. Crooks Is authority for the
statement that the immediate construction of
the road is certainty" Col Crooks is right
ly confident that q railroad project backed
by lands and local bonds to the extent of
nearly 81 200 mile and fairly promising to
have, when the road is built, large local and
through traffic, cannot long go begging for
builders in this era of liberal railroad invest
ment. But it is question whether the
Northern Pacific or any other company at
present interested in that part of the State can
untertake to build it. Other companies
could interfere to make the project less prom
Using, and at least one other company inter
ested has officially declared that it will make
poor property of any railroad which invades
its proper territory. In view of this
premature announcement of purpose to build
such road is likely to njure the project. The
GLOBE is authorized to say that no arrange
ment for building the Little Falls & Dakota
road or for transfer of the projectt to the North
ern Pacific, has been made nor are negotiations
to that end pending. Mr.. Cakes simply viewed

Throughout tie United States, where peo-
pie generally are pretty well posted in regard
to the history, standing and pretensions of the
whole Clafin- Blood. Woodruff tribe, there is
no little astonishment as well as quiet snick-
oriEg over the announcement from across the
ocean that Miss Gertrude Blood, daughter of
Victoria Woodruff, is about to marry Lord
Colin Campbell, brother of Lord Lorne COVER
nor-general of Canada and husband OF the prin.
cess LOUISE daughter of Queen Victoria. Miss
Blood is the little girl who stood at the door
and took the tickets when Mrs. Woodruff, five
or SIX years ago, delivered her lecture on wo-
mans rights, free love, &c, in the Opera
House in Ottawa. Her mother has for three
or four years past been connected with heb
dOmadel publication in London something
like the old Woodhuli6 Chafin's Weekly, with
which she was connected some years earlier IN
New York. Col. Blood, the father of the aiti.
anced young lady we believe was never regu-
arly married to Victoria-at least, she became
Mrs. Woodruff while he was still living,
though she CLAIMS it is said, to have been d.
vorced from him. The young lady Is said to
possess personal attractions of the highest
order, including beauty, intelligence and re-
fnement, but considering the stock from which
she springs, if she really realizes all Lord Co
Inns dreams, she cannot be regarded otherwise
than as a veritable case OF the finding of a
