| Cannon Falls Beacon:- The water in the
Cannon river reached the highest point Mon
day night for many years. An extensive ice
gorge formed IN the Goodhue mill dam and
if it had broken loose the result would doubt
lessly have been disastrous to mill dams and
bridges, but as the river is now going down
the ice will gradually melt where it is. At
the Cannon Falls mill about 100 feet of the
dam apron has been washed out.

graduates himself on having wife who can
not only build fire, but can put one out,

stayed the flames. Then with the help of
Miss Cora, who brought water to her, after
a close fight, put out the flames and saved

st. James Journal: There is rumor afoat
to the effect that st. James is the objective
| point of one of the many lines of railroads
coming into Minnesota from Iowa. This is
probably the road spoken of in the last issue
of the Fairmont Sentinel as building toward
that place. A gentleman from Iowa, in town
last week, said the road would come to st.
James and connect with the Northwestern
road and its Redwood Falls branch at Sleepy
Eye by line built by the latter company
from that place to st. James. The gentle

were ready to begin operation, and st. James
would be the starting point.
