A DiscOrdant Parish.

There is trouble among the breth-
rem of the Catholic faith and Polish
nationality in the Swan River church
parish: Last fall application was
made by the residents of the country
about Flynn's Siding or Flynnsburg
to Bishop Zardetti, OF st. Cloud, for
permission to build at that point,
the new congregation to consist of
about 60 families. The request was
denied by the bishop, the petitioners
being advised to remain as members
OF the Swan River church, Father
Stanislaus, pastor. This they have
refused to do, claiming that the dis
tance from Flynn's Siding to the
Swan River church-six miles-was
too far and have begun saving the
lumber for their new church, the
plans having been completed and
sent to them to-day. The rebelIious
subjects are led by Barthel Walzka
and other prominent Polish citizens of
that portion of the county and the
result is awaited with interest. Up
on the completion of the church they
hope to gain the Bishops consent
to priest.

The Log Jam Non Est.

A tramp along the river bank from
the saw mills to the Little Elk shows
that the big log jam which had
formed in the Mississippi there is now
practically thing OF the past. The
immense mass, which had required
the services Of large crew OF" men
by the Pine Tree Lumber company,
has cost the company large
amount of money, but now all that
remains of the sea offorest monarchs
are few "wings,' which are held
by piers and within two or three
days these will be broken and the old
Father of Waters will he clear OF
log jams between the city and the
Little Elk at least. When this work
is completed the sorting gaps, two
in number, which are now but a
half mile or SO above the railroad
bridge. will be moved up opposite
the Little Elk mills, and this will
obviate any further danger of a
jam this Or another year. About
60 men are now employed in break
ing the jam and sorting the logs
which are sorted by the catch line
method, and the work is in charge of
BOOmmaster AL. Corners. The men
are boarded at the works in a
cook shanty and sleeping shanty.
A fact which points to the solidjty OF
the piers in the river is that but one
or two have been carried away by
the tremendous pressure of the jam.

APPROPOS OF ANOTHER HOTEL.
J. C. Flynn Will, If Given the Proper
Encouragement, Erect a Hotel
on His Fine Corner Lot.

There is another hotel project on
foot in this city provided Ex-
Senator G. B. Buckman accepts the
proposition of the property owners
now endeavoring to raise the money
| with which to purchase the Berg
site, SO called, on the corner of Maple
and First streets. Mr.. j. c. Flynn,
who has the foundation in for a
two-story store building adjoining
his three-rtory brick block on the
corner of First and Oak streets, will
if the new hotel is built on the Berg
site, extend his new block up to an
equal height as the corner property,
make it correspond in every respect
and remodel the old building, making
it a hotel property by utilizing the
third floor for rooms. BY doing
this the combined buildings would
have as many rooms as the proposed
Buckman hostlery and would be
quite a credit to the town. If by
any chance the other hotel should
be built on either the Butler site,
or the Oak street property Mr..
Flynn will simply complete his
building as he originally intended it.
He takes this action to protect the
valuation Of his property and will
ask a bonus fund OF 81, 500 from those
owning adjacent real estate.
1t is understood that w. A. Butler
has begun the circulation of u
subscription list to obtain the site
known as the Butler corner, and
owned by his mother Mrs. VIM.
Butler.

Will Veneer The Church.

Following the usual Sunday morn
ing services at the German-English
Catholic church yesterday a meeting
of the members of the congregation
was held to discuss ways and means
and to formulate the matter of We
neeling with brick the church edifice.
AS a result John Kerrich was select
ed as the person to make the necces-
sary collections, Peter Medved was
named as treasurer of the funds and
Frank Ellenbecker was made secre-
tary. It is estimated that the work
will require fifty or sixty thousand
bricks, which will be purchased of A.
DuclOs. Work was to have been be-
gun this morning lrauling material
but the Duclos yards are short on
bricks just at present and this will
delay the matter for two Or three
weeks. The church building will be
greatly improved in appearance by
the veneer and when completed it
will be no doubt very gratifying to
the congregation.
