Some time last summer gentleman
named j. 5. Gilmore came to this city
from Ellsworth, Pierce county, Wis.
cousin. for the purpose of looking for
a location it was thought. After be-
ing here short time he showed symp-
toms of insanity and in the course of a
few days was sent to the asylum. In
the meantime Hon. J. w. Crawford
discovered that the stranger was a
member of the G. A. r. and he took
charge of his personal effects, consist
ing principally of about 5000 in money.
Mr.. Crawford correspondent with the
post at Ellsworth and found the stran-
ger in good standing. While confined
in the asylum he was sane enough at
intervals to write to his friends and
receive letters, and bid fair to recover
his reason. But lately he grew worse
and died. He was given all the atten-
ton at the asylum possible and the g.
A. r. of this city kept watch of bis
case to render any assistance needed.
The deceased was buried this morn
ing by the G. a. r. with all the hon
ors and funeral ceremony of the So
ciety, in its lot at the Odd Fellows
cemetery" Vidette," Salem, Oregon,
Feb. 9, 1888.

Ave We to Have a New Railroad1

If coming events cast their shadows
before is always true proverb it
would seem quite probable that before
long another railroad will be with us.
The Duluth Red Wing & Southern
Railroad Company are making strenu-
Gus endevors to get into shape for con-
strueting their road within a short
time. and from the enthusiasm with
which their project is met in the more
southern parts of the line it seems as
if there may be a considerable pros
pect of ultimate success.
Several articles have appeared in the
daily papers of st. Paul recently which
state that the company have met with
gratifying success in many places in
obtaining aid in the formation of a
construction company. Mr.. Powell,
of our city, has been very earnestly
at work ever since the inception of the
enterprise, and deserves much credit
for his disinterested and persistent
labors in its behalf. Though in some-
what feeble health he has taken charge
of surveying party this winter and
by his indomitable energy has succeed
ed in obtaining survey almost to the
northern terminus of the road. the
work unfinished being such as may be
easily completed in a more favorable
season.
Red Wing people seem very much
awake as to the Importance of this
connection with the great lakes and
have promised very material aid. Du-
luth is also wide awake, it is said, TO
the great importance of line which
gives that city connection with the
rich fields of Wisconsin and Mime
sofa without paying a tribute to st.
Paul and Minneapolis.
| If these shadows are real we may
hope that ere long another railroad
may compete at this place for the large
freightage of this station.

Duluth to Iowa.

1t need not be said that Duluth men
should aid by all the money and means
at their command the Duluth, Red
Wing & Southern project. 1t opens
to Duluth a section eagerly looking
this way, part of which is now under
fast bondage to st. Paul and part to
Chicago. 1t passes through an unde-
veloped lumber country in Wisconsin
which assures a profitable traffic for
the division of the road nearest the
lake terminus. It connects Duluth
directly with a country especially fit
ted for dairy culture and market gar
dening-a connection whose value Du-
luth housekeepers can realize. 1t is
the basis of new system running
through Iowa and skirting that ter
ritory which is debatable ground be-
tween Chicago and Duluth. Further.
It's geographical situation compells all
southern roads TO build at once to
Duluth. No road in southern Mime.
sofa can afford to depend on the Chi
eago outlet when the Duluth, Red
Wing & Southern crosses its tracks to
nearer lake port.
For all these reasons and more. for
the aid that scores of towns and vii
lagos along the line have extended,
Duluth men owe the Red Wing road
their active cooperation and support.
Duluth has already borne the expense
of a survey OF the Duluth division,
and has pledged terminal facilities.
A subscription to the construction
company is now asked of SIS, 600.
Remembering that Red Wing has vot-
ed bonds to the road and has further
raised $50, 600 by subscription. the
request seems not unreasonable nor
greater amount pFoportioned to the
wealth of the community and 70 the
interest at stake than Red Wing has
rendered. 1t is not too much to ask.

bureau there have been only two
colder Januarys in the last twenty
three years than the one just closed.
These were January 1875 and January
1888, and it was only the mild weather
of the last four days that prevented
January 1883 from being the coolest
on record. The snow fall for the
month was not excessive but badly
drifted. In general features the
month resembled January 1888.
