ness enterprise. It will take nc
wealth from the city, but will be Of
profit to all who take part in ite
transactions. Parties with ordinary
incomes can thus secure homes OF
their own in q few years, and the
outlay for the home goes to securing
ownership instead of for rent. The
security to the stockholders can al

turn on money invested is certain

G. F. Germanson, travelling for the
Hennepin Paper Co., of Little Falls,

buying all the spruce wood along the
Crow Wing.
L. J. Gale shipped a large number
of BURBERRY plants to Penson, Tenn,

the first BURBERRY plants ever sent
out of the state for the purpose Of
transplanting in nurseries.

Little Falls and Her Railroads.

Should new enterprises continue to
locate at Little Falls as during the
past two years she will soon cut nc
small figure in the list of producing
cities of Minnesota.
The superior improvements OF hel
water power now give a head, ol
fall, Of about twenty-five feet, and
there is no reason why every drop Of
this water should not soon be utilized
in turning the wheels OF mills and
factories.
Now that the Weyerhauser syndi
cate has made this the headquarters
for their immense lumber manufac
turing operations, we can but expect
the gradual transfer of the saw mill
interest from Minneapolis to this
place. For there are SO many nat
ural advantages in favor of these up
river point that the laws Of compe
tition will soon determine the most
economical location for storing
handing and turning logs into lumber
To furnish a better outlet for these
new Industries Little Falls now needs
additional railroads, and it will be
interesting to note which of the sys.
TENS that are now so near shall be
first to give this city the benefit of a
competing line, and at the same time
secure for itself the advantage oil
choice of terminal and depotgrounde
most convenient to heselarge plants,
the transportation of whose com.
bined output will be well worth
securing.

Representative Stivers' Report.

In another column is published a
lengthy and interesting article from
the Brainerd Journal, whose editor
was a member of the recent legisla-
ture from this district. He seems to
think that the efforts to educate
the radical fellows were quite sue
cessful, and that that class gradually
came to have an understanding OF
the process of reasoning by which
their opponents reached con-
clusions." There is no question but
the "process'' was all right, and OF
the old, approved style. The por-
lions of the article relating to state
finances is also instructive, but the
prediction that the next session will
find no DEFICIENCIES is the same one that
is always certain of disappointment
in any public or private business.

A Child's Body Found.

The body OF a little girl was seen in
the Mississippi river at this place by
log drivers on Tuesday morning, and
was taken from the river and placed
in charge of Coroner Fortier. The
body was badly decomposed, and
had evidently been in the water some
time. It was soon learned that a
child had been drowned in the Crow
Wing river last winter, and that the
names of the parents were Mr.. and
Mrs. Ardell. They were informed of
the finding Of the body, and immedi-
ately came after the remains, which
were readily identified by the cloth
ing. From them it was learned that
the little one was aged four and one
half years, and was an only child.
On the last day of December, 1890, the
girl, in company with a neighbours
child, was playing on, the ice on the
Crow Wing river, and the girl tell in
to an air hole in the ice. and was
quickly swept under the Ice by the
current, and out of reach OF any help.
The body was taken back to the
neighborhood where the parents live,
for burial.

A CITY Park.

Little Falls has attained that size
and possesses that certainty Of future
growth that will warrant the au-
thorities in taking some meek ures to-
ward providing city park. Qne OF
the prettiest places about the city is
Maple island, which lies within half
a dozen blocks of the business center
OF the city. It is only during high
water that this tract of land is an
island" as the channel around it
has filed up to the average stage OF
water for much of the distance. The
tract is heavily wooded, and it's loca-
ton and surroundings make it par
ticularly desirable as a public park.
1t lies just west OF First street, little
more than five blocks south OF Oak
street, and is now owned by the Lit
tie Falls Improvement company. 1t
is but a few feet above the level of the
river, and the conditions that make
it suitable for a park render it i'm
probable that it will ever be a resi-
dence district. The proposition to
secure this for the city ia well worth
the attention OF our citizens.

The Court Acts on Another Officers
Bill.

The district court has given a deci.
sion on the appeal taken from the al.
lowance of Clerk of Court Staples
bill of $492.25, and $3.50 has been
struck out as technically wrong.
This amount was forswearing jurors
and witnesses, as to mileage and at
tendance, and although the clerk had
an order from the Judge to do the
work, the court decides that the Or
der did not have force. 1t is astrange
point, and the cutting Of the bill does
not in the least reflect upon the hon
esty of the clerk or the correctness of
his bill. We do not doubt but the
swearing of the witnesses and jurors
saved much more to the county than
the expense charged, and Justly the
county should pay the expenses. The
balance of $45S.75 will be drawn by
Mr.. Staples, and possibly another ef-
fort made to collect the $33. 80.
The bills OF the county commission
ers are still before the court and will
be acted on in a few days.
