State Militia Matters.

g.
1t will interest the militia bows to know
that Col. H. M. Creel, Inspector and
Judge advocate general .of'the N. d. N. G.,
also president of the permanent
board Of the encampment grounds at
Devils Lake, who has charge Of the
militia encampment grounds there, has
made some substantial Improvements
during the past summer in the shape Of
fencing the property and leveling off the
parade grounds. A rental of about $50
per month has been received for pastur-
age and it is estimated that enough
"down timber can be sold this winter
from this property to create a permanent
fund for encampment expenses and per-
manent improvements.
Turn to the Beaver to Learn the Cause.
The st. Paul Pioneer Press of recent
date in an editorial called attention to
the great shrinkage of water in the lakes
and streams Of the Dakotas and Mime
sofa, and in my opinion failed to state
the first great cause.
The writer ventures to name 1.-THE
slaughter of the beaver-Nature's first
great dam builders.
Those who have lived in the northwest
for a quarter of a century or more will
COZ firm the statement that with the dis
appearance of the beaver the waters be-
gan to shrink.
From 1856 to the present time the
writer has travelled much throughout
the north vest, and has noticed and
called attention repeatedly to the Won
drous wisdom of the little industrious
beaver IN building dams, to store water,
every creek, stream, lake mouth or out
let was provided with a dam and guarded
and repaired by the beaver. Pools were
found in the smallest streams and
creeks-now dry-but in the spring
when we have our greatest rainfall these
dry streams are drains t. let the much
needed water run off. 10 restore the
beaver is impracticable but cannot the
people learn wisdom from the beaver.
+ Cannot dams be built in all streams
and lake outlets. Ii Minnesota and the
Dakotas will inaugurate a department
for dam building and will prosecute the
work with half the zeal and wisdom of
the beaver the lakes and streams will
soon become as in the days Of the early
settlement of the northwest.

The Little Boy Who Knew.

The 30 pupils of the Sunday school Of
the Fifteenth street Christian church
had gone through their lessons yester-
day forenoon, and most of the children
were shifting their feet uneasily and
thinking OF the Easter lucheon, when
Superintendent Ernest Forbes announc-
Cd from the pulpit platform that Attor-
ney W. O. Thomas would make a short
address and then the benediction would
be said. Attorney Thomas mounted the
platform with "A slow movement and a
thoughtful air, and 800 eyes watched him

question: What would ! have II pour

NEWFANE.

The vigorous weather of Tuesday even
ing prevented a larger attendance at Mr..
Pratt's opening. Thirty couples attended
the ball at Union hall. The supper that
followed at the Pratt House was the most
elaborate one ever served here, as indicated
by the printed menu.
The death of solomon +. Whitney last
Saturday was peaceful ending of long
life. He was almost 50 and had. in his
long illness, desired to lay down the burden
of prolonged life. He was a conservative,
temperate man in all ways, and good man,
at peace with everybody.
\ Newfane boy in the Connecticut leg
islatme mentions tina; its hall will be
granted on the 18th for use of the woman's
suffrage cause, and that among distin-
guished speakers will be Lady Somerset
and Miss Willard He does not expect to
be "cOnverted,' but confesses to a keen
interest in the proceedings, and is glad of
this opportunity to see and hear true no
bility OF this and other lands.
The library association believes there is
good reason to commend the dramatic re-
cital by Miss Gould, set for next Monday
evening. Among press Communications is
one from a former Newfane boy, now
teacher in johnson Normal school. There
will be nothing in the program against
good taste. The young lady's advance
agent is her father who was born in this
town.
Favorable expectations in regarl to last
Fridays concert were more than fulfil ed,
as the general verdict of an attendance of
27j people proved As was predicted from
the start, Mrs Kinneys drill and manner
of conducting won much commentator.
The class was increased to 30 at last and
the spirit of hopefulness, which at first was
somewhat faint, grew apace, and apprecia-
tion of superior drill developed. All things
considered it was the best of its kind given
here for many years. Guests who assisted
were: Miss Knapp of West Brattleboro,
soprano, Rev. Mr.. Wiswel, tenor and
Mrs. Lula Osgood, pianist. The orchestra
did valiant service and the singers did
their part so well that the desire for more
strong leading voices in some parts need
not have detracted from much enjoyment
of We concerto.
