The Water Works Co. will meet with
the fire protection committee in a few
days and if any satisfactory terms can
be agreed upon work will soon begin on
u complete system of water works for
this city. The work will give employ
ment to a large force OF men until fall,
and the expenditure OF the amount OF
money required to do the work will be
of benefit to all classes Of business. Be.
sides the added security from fire, our
property owners would save nearly
enough in: insurance rates to pay the
expenses Of the system.

The poor farm system will be aban-
doned by the Morrison county authori-
ties after Oct. l of this year. A two
years experience has shown that the
money expended in supporting q poor
farm did not accomplish us much good
as it would have done had it been paid
directly to the needy applicants. Very
often a few dollars given to pau per
will enable him to live rs comfortably
as he could il much larger sum was
paid for keeping him at the poor farm
The expense of running the poor farm
was large, and many outside contribu.
tons had to be made. We are confiden!
that the poor fund can be more wisely
expended than it has been during the
past year.

| The following extract from the Mot
ley Register gives some information
concerning orthwestern part Of
Morrison county and the beautiful Lake
| Alexander. This lake will be brought
quite convenient to Little Falls by the
construction of the cutoff line, and will
probably be more visited by pleasure
seekers than formerly.
| We spent the day at LAX Alexander,
and there vas 81 revelation in store for
us respecting the size of the lake, the
scenery, and the number of settlers in
that vicinity that can he collected 1t
also demonstrated TO lis the unreliabili-
ty of hearsay evidence respecting the
country. We started from Motley with
the expectation Of driving through
loose sand the entire distance and find
ing a pine fringed lake at the end Of
our journey. Of course there we're
places where the road was sandy, very
sandy; but such spots were short and
not very frequent. There are many small
openings along the way. varying in size
from twenty to several hundred acres
each, anu some of them composed of
rich. rolling land. There are some
meadows, some fine strips of standing
pine (nostly Norway and only a few
pine slashes, here and there along the
route. The lake has an irregular out
line and about IS miles of beach, nearly
allof it sandy and firm. Several islands
are scattered about the lake, one of
them containing high hill with steep
sides extending upward from the shore.
N. G. Rail (who, by the way, is an old
settler and gave US a good history of the
lake, says that from the summit Of this
hill one can almost see Little Falls.
The land around the lake is somewhat
broken and hilly, covered with hard
and soft woods, and presents a charm
ing sight from almost any point of view
