GRAND RAPIDS, TOO.
That Up River Town IL 10 Get
- a Big Paper Mill Soon.

Since the paper mill owners have
SO much trouble in getting water
power at their mills in Wisconsin
thew have begun investig ating the
advantages offered by the towns
along the upper Mississippi. Tim
Der is more plentiful here than it is
now in Wisconsin, and there ia on
the Mississippi Il great amount
OF water power going to waste. 1t
cannot be doubted but soon many
paper mills will be taking advantage
of the unusual opportunities offered
in the district north of Minneapolis.
Sank Rapids il now practically as
sured Of an immense paper mill, and
it seems that Grand Rapids is also
t" he soon supplied. A recent tele-
gram from kalamazoo. Mich, says:
"Horace b. PECK of this city,
brOther-in-law of Senator,J. e.. Bur-
rows, who is reported in recent Du-
luth dispatches as being at the head
of a company which will erect large
paper mills at Grand Rapids, MIMI,
said yesterday in an interview that
the government would be asked i'm
mediately for perm ission to dam the
Mississippi at that point to furnish
water power for paper and pulp
mills, which it is proposed to erect.
There are forests Of poplar in the vi
entity. Mr.. Peck says, sufficient to
last twenty years, and the wood
can be had for 81 per cord"

Good Northern Pacific Time.

Several good records on time have
been made between staples and Far
go lately, and the following from the
Staples World shows where the
record now stands:
"A short time ago Engineer Thos.
Hooker lowered his own record for
fast running OH this division of the
Northern Pacific, but last Friday
afternoon the time was lowered
seven minutes. The train was ~
west bound special containing one
baggage and two business cars, con-
tanning Receiver Burleigh and other
officials. 1t was drawn by engine
412, with Jas. Stewart ON the right
side and John FurlOng on the LETT.
They left here at 4:43 and arrived in
Fargo at GAG, the distance being ITO
miles. The actual running time ex-
elusive of stops was 63 miles per
hour"

UNCLE SAM HFTE r HIM.
John Sitzman Hrrested on q
Charge OF Selling Liquor!
Without q u. =. License.

United Stated Marshal VIM. Camp
bell came upfrOm st. Paul last Friday
night, and was driven to Buchanan
next morning. He WAS after John
Salamanca that place, who ischarged
with selling liquor without a gov
ernment license. The Offense. We are
informed, il alleged to have been
committed about a year ago. Tie
charge against Mr.. Sitzman is said
to be the result of spite work on the
part of certain individuals who We're
brought before the grand jury at the
last term vi the district court and
fined 1915 and costs for running what
il generally known as "hlind pig
in that town. The names OF the
parties who were convicted were
Joseph HOrtscle and VIM. Miscke.
and tn" evidence against them was
mostly secured through Mr.. Si:zman.
That they are instrumental in this
charge being brought against Mr..
Sitzman is very probable, for one OF
them has been before the grand jury
trying to have Sitzman indicted, on
several other charges, but was uIl-
successful. Mr.. Campbell was in con
siderable haste and took an early
start this morning in order to catch

1T Is n WOOD COM BlNE
Wood Offered for Sale on the
Market le 100 per Cent
Higher than Last Year. ,!

That the citizens OF Little Falls,
who use dry wood, will have to pay
more than they did last year is very
evident from tie prices now asked
for nearly al that is offered afor sale
at the market: In nearly all kinds
of dry wood the prices are from 30
to 100 per cent higher than last year.
The reasons given for this cOndi-
ton is that the supply OF d:y wood
last year was very large, AMI farmers
who brought it to town for sale had
nothing else to sell and were com
PEELED to take what they could get
for it. which in many cases was a
ridiculousIy low price. This year the
farmers have all got good crops and
are not compelled to sell what wood
they have, and are quite confident
that as the dry wood supply is short.
owing to poor prices in former years
and to the fact that the timber farms
are getting we'll cleared up, they will
get the price asked. y. ~. 's.@''74
Morrison county Ia far from "a
wood famine, but as the cut of last
season was smaller than usual and
large shipments have been made
from this. vicinity. it is very likely
that the citizens of Little Falls will
have to come to farmers terms and
pay u good price this winter.

Sometimes goods are sold
