LITTLE FALLS.
.It Locks as IL the Big Pine Land Pur.
chase Will Help Onr
City.

The ST. Paul and Minneapolis daily
papers are full of news about the
recent purchase of 400, ,OOO. 900 feet ol
pine on the upper Mississippi by
Messrs. Weyerhaeuser and Whitney,
but neither OF them have anything tu
say. The st. Paul papers claim that
big saw mills will be built in that
city, while the Minneapolis papers
state their city is to have the big
mills.
The Minneapolis Tribune says:
{. From various sources it is learned
that the Weyerha user people really
want to do their saving nearer the
stump than WinOna, but that may
mean st. Paul as we'll as Mime.

Yes, we think you quite right, but
it is more likely to mean Little Falls,

" growing cities on the upper Miss

west. s..@s
Mr.. Weyerfaeuser is interested in
the Pine Tree Lumber company oI
Little Falls where therei is now one
of the finest saw mills on the river
and ample boomage. Lastyear this
company cut over 40,000,00O and the
coming year the cut xviii almost
double that. ~--..-~
It has been understood ever since
the new mill was built on the west
side that anotherlarge one would be
built on the east side of the river
There is little doubt in the minds o.
our people that the recent deal will
help Little Falls and that the new
mills will be built soon.
Several important lines are headed
this way. and before another year, il
is safe to say that Little Falls will
have more roads than she has al
present.

A Rough as Usnal,

The old saying that the course OF
true love does not run smoothly has
cQme true again Judging from the
following which appeared in yester-
days Journal Press:
John Ahles, ofBrockway, obtained
a few days ago license to marry a
respectable young lady, who former
ly lived in st. Cloud. The notice of
the license was published whereupon
another young lady of that township
appeared before the priest and entered
objections to the proposed mar
riage, since she had claims upon him
alleging that he was the father OF her
unborn child. The priest told her he
would not perform the contemplated
marriage ceremony under those CIR.
culnstances A knowledge of the
complication also came to the lady
who was to marry Ahles. She at
once returned the marriage ring, and
declared the marriage off. It is how
currently reported that the young
Ilothario has skipped the country.
The two young ladies in the. case are
quite well known. The one who APP
peared before the priest and forbid
the marriage, has brought an action
/ for breach OF promise.

The BishOD's Views.

The st. Cloud Times of yesterday
contains letter from Bishop Zardetti
in which he criticises the journal
Press and claims he has been misrep-
resented regarding his position on
the public schools and free text book
question.
The Bishop again states his views
on the subjects as follows:
l. called the free text book bill
an outcome Of the parental system
of the State, which l reject, and an
additional injustice done to Cath olics
who thus have still more to pay for
schools which in conscience they can
not frequent. ~ ThOusands,not of
my creed and principles, agree with
me on this question, and give yet
other reasons for it's rejection.
T 2. I did not, and never did oppose
the public school system, as such.
~ I did say, and do say again,
that the system Of taxing the Cath
olics for schools which in conscience
according to the authoritative teach
ing Of the church, they cannot fire.
quent. save in exceptional cases, and
the withholding of material aid from
their. as well as other Protestant
private schools, involves aninjustice.

Band Meeting.
From Wednesdays Day.

From Wednesdays Day.
Agreeable to the gentlemanly
invitation of the Harmonic band,
both bands met last night in the
city hall for a friendly discussion.
The meeting was most harm oniOus
in every way. H. n. Harding was
elected chairman and F. Stangl,
secretary
The Independent band then made
the efollowing proposition, "We desire
most heartily to see union of the
two bands believing it to be an
excellent opportunity to overcome
the petty jealousies now existing and
that by SO doing we will become a
credit to the city.
We therefore, propose that noth
bands unite under the name OF
Harmonic band, and that
Prof. Van Camp beretained as leader
and teacher. The Independent band
upheld Prof. Van Camp for several
reasons As d band we are lar gely
indebted to him for our existence,
as a city the people are indebted to
him for assisting in many ways. AT
sociables, entertainments, church
fairs and other places he has added
largely to the pleasure of these gath
erings by cornet solos always given
gratuitously. He is an old resident
of the city and if any benefits are to
be receivedrf from band teaching it this

A Pleasant Event.

Some of Miss Marie Gross friends
took it into their heads to get up
surprise party on her, and last even
ing was the time decided upon.
There was a blizzard raging, but
that did not deter the young folks
from being ON hand and carrying
out their design. Accordingly they
called on her aboutS o'clock. The
spacious parlors OF Miss Gross
pleasant home were at once
opened to receive her unexpected but
welcome guests and they were soon
enjoying themselves playing cards.
Later the guests were invited to
a room on an upper floor OF the
house, where all indulged in dancing.
Mrs. X. A. Rollins of Minneapolis,
a sister of Miss Gross, assisted her in
entertaining, as did also Mr.. P. H.
Gross.
Those present were Mr.. and Mrs.
W. A. Butler, Mrs. Baxter, Misses
Lafond, Cole, Mckenzie, Tozier, Rich

Curiosith Rewarded.

The following special from Frank
fort, Kentucky, bearing the date Jan.
80, goes to show that sewer is
sometimes as dangerous to monkey
with as the caboose part Of a mule:
just as church services were begin
ming yesterday five fire alarms were
turned in. The cause OF it all was a
mans curiosity and a match. A
group of men were standing on
street corner at the mouth OF a large
sewer guessing what made the
water look SO greasy One of them
said that he would see, and dropped
a lighted match into the oily sub
stance. At once there was a terrific
explosion and one Of the spectators
man named Haley, had a part of
his hand torn off. The flames rushed
on through the sewer, consuming
the oil which had escaped from the
gas company's broken pipe. One
explosion followed another, tearing
! up the sidewalks square after square
and shattering window glass along
/ the way. Graatexeitement prevailed
/ women shrieking and fainting from
fright. The fire engines could accom-
piish nothing, and the oil continued
| to burn until it had emptied itsel
j into the Kentucky river The gaf
/ works were rendered imperative
and last night candles had to be de
pended upon for illumination.

A Watch Presentation.

Mr.. T. B. Graham, superintendent
of bridges and buildings on this di-
vision OF the Northern Pacific, was
recently the happy recipient OF a
very fine gold watch, it being gift
from his men, and to Say that he is
much pleased with it does not ex-
press his feelings Aside from having
a great intrinsic value he prizes the
beautiful watch more because of the
motives that prom pied the donors.
Mr.. Graham has held his present po
sition ten years and stands high in
the estimation of all with whom he
has dealings. Prior to coming here
he was employed in railway con-
struction in Indiana and Iowa. He
began railroad services in August
1851, on the first railroad that ran
into Terre Haute, Ind. His qualifi-
cations as a bridge builder are not
surpassed.

CONTROL THE RIVERS.
Startling Statements as to the
Weyerhaeuser Pine Land
Purchase.

ST. Paul special to the Mime
apolis Evening Tribune says:
minneapolis lumbermen ut the
capital and some OF the Hennepin
delegation today discussed the
Weyerhaeuser deal reported in this
mornings Tribune in very animated
terms. It was asserted by those
who ought to know, that there was
much more in the deal than appeared
on the surface, and, on the part of
some, it was stated that Minneapolis
had cause formuch apprehension, for
1T is claimed that the power the
syndicate has acquired means
substantially the control of the
Mississippi from the crest oi St.
Anthony falls to the Falls OF Poke
gama nearly the whole elumber reach
OF the Mississippi. BY the purchase
from the st. Anthony Lumber
Company they get the absolute
booming privileges Of the river as
far as Brainerd, provided they have
obtained, in the deal, as is asserted,
the control of the Mississippi and
Rum River Boom Company. The
upper limits of this are at the
Brainerd dam. to which the boom
limits were, two years ago extended.
Beyond Brainerd, the st. Anthony
purchase is said to give them the
practical, exclusive control of Pine
river. and in connection with the
Cross Lake logging railroad they
secure, the control OF the important
tributaries of the Pine. Above the
Pine, for 200 miles of Mississippi, the
Weyerhaeusers secured the practica
control, in the contract by which
they bought the Northern Pacific
pine two years ago. By a shrewd
provision in that contract they are
said to have al! the lands. on any
of the streams needed for booming or
logging purposes. AS these lands
were of the land grant areas, and
are scattered in every other section
for so miles on both sides of the
Northern Pacific, they have thus
secured enough vantage points on
streams and lakes to amount to
practical control in the whole
region. 1t is said that these rights,
so shrewdly secured, are such that
there are sufficient points of vantage
that they will own, by the railroad
purchase, along the Mississippi above
Brainerd, to permit them to hang
booms without charter, legislation
or permit, for 200 miles Of river above
the Brainerd dam.
