A number of contractors and
builders of Minneapolis are just
now being questioned as to the
probable cause of the falling to the
ground of a winter built structure
the latter part Of last week, when
two people were badly injured. The
general verdict is that the building
fell from the result of poor founda-
tion stone and the freezing and
thawing out of the morter in the
walls. The building was a large
one, walls roof and floors finished,
and came down with a tremendous
crash, apparently unexpected. 1t is
a singular piece of mismanagement.
Loss $4,000.

The Brainerd Tribune draws this
personal sketch of Charles S. Fee,
general passenger agent of the
Northern Pacific: "He looks under
thirty, is a complete blonde, having
light hair, eyes and moustache. He
is of medium height and rather
slight. His manner is nervous and
quick, and both speech and move
ment indicate restless activity and
tireless energy. He is an organism
evidently practically limitless in ca
pacity to dispatch work, the endur-
ance that bends and twists but never
breaks-wears out but never gets
rusty. 1t is the fruits of such ex-
ertion as he is capable of that we
are seeing all around us in the enor-
nous passenger traffic the road is
doing. 1t is, indeed, easy to pre-
dict for such man brilliant
future.''

The ambitious project of con-
structing an island in Lake Michi-
gan opposite Chicago is seriously to
be undertaken this summer. The
magnitude of this venture can be
understood when it is known that
the plans contemplate an area of
forty acres. This island is to be
guarded by a breakwater seventeen
feet in height. 1t is to be placed
one mile from the shore, where the
depth of the water averages eigh-
teen feet. On the shore side is to be
a land locked harbor of seven acres
to admit lake craft of any size.
The land is to be formed of sand
and clay dredged from the lake.
The face of the island is to be irreg-
ular, and the summit of the gradual
swell is to be the site for a large ho-
tel. This being the highest spot on
the island, and fully fifty feet above
the water line, will afford a magni-
fcent view. The projectors number
several experienced engineers, and
have made their estimates on the
basis Of a total expenditure Of $780,
100000. 1t is thought that a resort
would prove popular as place for
summer cottages, and would at
tract summering people generally,
and particularly Chicagoans desir.
ing to have an easy escape from the
city in her hottest moods.
