REV. G.. G.. SALTER, the eminent
pastor of the Bethel at Duluth, who
has endeared himself to the hearts Of
the multitude, again made ten
strike on Thanksgiving day when POO
newsboys of Duluth ate turkey at the
Bethel, the feast having been pre-
pared by their old friend, Rev. G. G..
Salter. OF all the pleasant gentlemen
it has ever been our pleasure to meet,
Rev. Salter. ranks among the fore
most. His heart is as large as his
body-in fact he is all heart-and as
his stature is above the ordinary, the
Rev. gentleman owns the distinction
of being the best man in Duluth. In
the newsbOy festivities, he was ably
assisted by "Pinkey" Pearson cir
culatOr of the Herald, and others of
the Herald staff. The gratitude of
200 newsboys and hosts of citizens of
the county is with the Rev. gentle
man in his deeds of Christianity and
good fellowships. May he prosper
and be spared for many years as this
world can i'll afford to lose him.

THE UPPER RIVER.
PROGRESS OF IMPROVEMENT
ON OUR END OF THE
MISSISSIPPI.
THIS YEARS EXPENDITURE.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The re-
ports of Col Alexander Mckenzie
and Charles Keller on the improve
ment of the Mississippi river be-
tween the mouth of the Missouri
river and Minneapolis have been re-
ceived by the chief of engineers.
This is the upper reach of the Mis-
sissippi, the Improvement being I'M
der the continuing appropriation
system. The work consists in clos
ing side chutes and constructing the
low water channels; also the protec-
ton of banks from caving, and
dredging the river at various points.
During the fiscal year there has been
expended $S72,6S with uncompleted
contracts amounting to 1916, 357, leav-
ing a balance available of STA Csc.
The Importance of the Upper Mis-
SiSSippi as to commerce is said to
be in its influence on freight rates
freight in the boats that operate on
the river. The commerce of the upper
river is not very large. The report
says that improvement of the river
must be carried on gradually, and
extend over many years, so as to
sist in the formation of proper chan
nels. 1t has been the custom to Sc
lect for Improvement localities
where the condition is detrimental
to navigate
