We have frequently said that II the

srwise, it would pay our people to turn
out with teams and shovels and grade
the road to Spirit Lake. At present
we are at tho mercy of one railroad,
and. whether intentional or accidental,
1t works 50 as to cripple US. Every
enterprise is checked by high fre'ghts
and the uncertainty of obtaining cars.
The Burlington, if it brought US MOTH

worth to US ten times the bonus offer
ed. It is nearly u direct coal road and
coal can be LAID down in Worthington

The Austin Transcript speaks of the
immense coal business done at that
place and beyond by the Burlington

hree.fourths full of rats, walked into
the stable and dropped it down behind
the ''mule" The mule woke up imme-
diately. Fred managed to get outside
and bar the door. The air Was full of
splinters and the earth tremhled. Fred
started for town for help. and upon re-
turning they found one side Of the barn
and half the roof gone, the mule asleep,
while the inside of the barn looked as
if slaughter house had struck it.
