People at the Hotels-.Their Visits
and Views.


Fl. B. Moore, Duluth, was in the city
yesterday. He is the present collector of
customs at that lakeport and vacated. to &C
cept the place, the position of mayor to
which he was elected without any great
opposition. From Michigan he came to
Duluth few years ago. and has been en-
gagged in the lumber business.
He speaks encouragingly of the Demo-
cratic prospects in that portion of the state,
and while not processing to believe that
there is much of show to elect Demo
cratic congressman in that district. enter
tains the belief that the Republican majority
will not be as overwhelming as in past con-
tests.
~
Ex-senator Nelson of Otter Tail county,
said that he thought there was no question
about Knute Nelson's denomination and
election as the congressman from the Fifth
district. He said that Nelson, in his opin-
ion, would get the nomination without any
serious opposition, although there were any
number of Republicans throughout the dis
trict who would gladly serve the people in
that capacity. He intimated that Gilman
and Gibbs were mentioned quite frequently
for the govemorship, and was of the Opin-
ion that the former was in the lead in Otter
Tail county.
A. 81. Buttes, Winnebago City, was Wis
ible at the hotel. He is a farmer of that
section and owns one of the most extensive
farms in the state. 1t is stocked with many
fine specimens of Hereford cattle, which he
makes speciality. He came from New
York years ago, located near Wlnnebago
City and began stock raising, which he has
continued with signal success ever since.
His stock of cattle is ranked among the best
in the Northwest
~
Capt. Alex Griggs, Grand Forks, got
near the hotel stoves. He came down with
his new spring hat, a large-siZe, white
sombrero, which he claims sheds all the
heat of the summers sun and leaves him
cool even in summer time. 1t was not
adapted for a cowboy. The captain, who
is chairman of the territorial railway and
warehouse commission, said that the
weather had been too cold to consider rail-
way business.
49,
Senator O'Brien of Dacota said that at
the present time he was interested in the
construction of railway, and was poorly
posted on political affairs He was of the
opinion that the Republican state central
committee had acted wisely in deciding on
late convention. as short campaign was
on general principler, to be preferred to
long and trying one. Fl Is

BOAT INSPECTION


Accidents have come fearfully near hap
pening more than once. It is necessary to
travel twenty-four hours to completes the
whole length and make repairs, sometimes
remaining in the Rqueduct during that time.
Once the engineer ordered the gate keeper at
Croton dam 20 let the water in at II p IN.
The gate keeper misunderstood and flooded
the aqueduct at II in the forenoon. It was
all the men could do to reach tile nearest
manhole and climb up the ladder before they
were borne down by the rushing tide The
water was already to their waists, and they
staggered while trying TO keep their feet in
the tearing current The rooness and pluck
Of the engineer kept them from getting
panicky, and saved theni
The water is not always entirely drained
out of the aqueduct Then enough is lef, in,
about five feet. to row over the course in a
metallic boat. This is scarcely less dan.
gerous than the other The boat is easily
upset and sunk, and then for those WHO lose
their heads, as poor humanity is apt to do in
trying situations, there is the added danger
Of drowning. Fortunately only one life has
ever been lost in the great conduit.

An Easy solution of the Question.

When the Wisconsin Central road was
building its line to Chicago, in passing
through one of the small Wisconsin towns
the tracks were laid directly behind Metho-
dist church. The Methodists grumbled, but
took no definite action in the matter until a
tank was built so close to the church as to
keep the light from the windows. Then they
drew up petition setting forth the damage
that had been done, and requesting $500 with
which to remove the church. The president
Of the road was himself Baptist, but he
was sorry for the Methodists, and when he
received the petition he thought he would see
il he could do something for them In con.
sequence he forwarded the petition to +. \.
Finney, with the request that he look into
the matter and see what could be done. A
few days later he was startled by having the
petition returned to him with the following
suggestions indorsed upon the back: They
had better sell out to the Baptsts, and they
can use unr tank. Chicago Mail

SECTION OF AoUEDUcr. lion and half OF
people.
Three hundred and thirty-nine square miles
are included in the region drained by the
twenty-three lakes. The lakes are emptied
into small streams, which mingle their waters.
The original source Of the Croton river is the
waters Of three springs in Putnam county.
These run out into three pretty little brooks.
The brooks unite in a sociable way near
Owentown, N. Y, and run along together,
ard that is how the Croton gets its start
Then Immediately afterward come into it the
waters of the twenty y-three lakes, and so it be-
comes of sufficient Importance to furnish the
water supply of SO many people.
This means only the present supply. That
has been found inadequate, and new water
sheds have been built to take in yet other
lakes A new aqueduct is in process of erec-
ton, too. 1t will be year or two before it
is finished. When it is, New York will have
a purer, nobler water supply than any city
since ancient Rome, except, perhaps, Glas-
