How Hill Builds DepOts.

In view Of the prospective control
of the Northern Pacific by j. }. Hill,
the following item from the Fergus
Falls Journal, showing how Hill
builds deprts along his line, will be
very interesting reading to the people
Of Little Falls:
u. II. Grass returned from st.
Paul Monday, where he has been for
q couple of days. While in st. Paul,
he dropped into the Great Northern
Offices and they informed him that
the engineer would probably come
to Fergus Falls Tuesday. to look
over the ground for the station and
sidetrack. Mr.. Grass believes that
the work that has been 40 long de-
layed will be taken up at once
1t will he seen that an engineer will
"probably" come up before long.
Also that somebody believes that
work that has been delayed so long
will be taken UP at once" That is
almost after the N. P. model.

AFTER THREE YEARS.
Jas. Cota's Long Search for a
Lost Watch Was at
Last Successful.

Nearly three years ago, Jas. Gotta
the Broadway barber. discovered
one morning that his watch. which
he had been carrying In his vest
pocket, was missing, and although
he could not nccOun. for its uisMp-
pearance, and said but little about
his loss, he immediately began
n quiet search for 1t. Every week he
would make from one to three Wis
it's to all the watch repair shops of
the city and carefully look over all
the wa tclles on the racks in the win
dOws.
All the jewelers. in the city wondered
at his regular and frequent visits to
their windows, hut jim did not en-
tighten them until one day last
week. He had found what he had
been looking for. After nearly three
years of persistent search, he found
his watch hanging on the repnir
rack Of S. J. Vasaly's icwelry store.
The watch was purchased from G.
j. Menley, when ne was in the jew
elrv business, und the gunrante with
the number ui lie case on 1t was IN
COta's puss.'ssiun. After assuring
himself quite positively that the
watch wus the one he lost, he in
structed the jeweler to hold 1t, but
the man who left it for repair came
in and asked for the watch and 1t
was given to him. The jeweler was
not fully satisfied that the watch
was Cota's and was somewhat puz-
zled as to what course he should
pursue. He finally ca me to the conclu-
SION that II the watch did not be-
long to Gotta there would be NO
harm done in telling the mans name
and II it did belong to him he was
entitled to 1t. He therefore gave the
name Of the person who had the
watch and Gotta had Il writ of re-
plevin issued and the chief OF police
now holds the watch. and 1t is sat(
that Gotta has ample proof thatit be
longs To him. In justice to the maj
who had the watch it can be sait
that he has plenty OF proof that HI
came honestly in possession OF 1T
| ana did not know that it's Owner
was in the city. He is a. business
man, and Gotta has not the slightes
suspicion that he is the person wht
took the watch from him. Tne mar
who traded the watch to the person
in whose possession it was found lla
left the country. This Is the frs
time the watch has been in the sbOl
for repairs in the four years sine
Gotta purchased it, indicating that j
is pretty good one and worth tn
persistent search Gotta has made 10
It's recovery. The watch is still il
the possession OF the chief OF police
but it is very likely that ne will re

herself for being Ida Fuller's tsistcr

ing the relationship that exists he
tween herself and the inventor OF the
b eautiful dances that both execute
so well. What circumstances has

people Of the world, is mole than
offset by the prodigal way in which
natures has delt with her sister. Miss
Ida Fuller, who is decidedly more
picturesque and beauti ful than her
sister. and who executes almost the
"a me dances. executes them better.
She is a woman whose supple figure
is drawn on finer lin a and whose
phisical attractivness is enhanced by
the skillful manipulation of the fillny
draperies that art and the dema nds
for a name have called dances. The
interest that attached to Miss Ida
Fuller's appearance might have been
whetted by the talismanic name OF
the protege of Ii Hung Chang, who
subscribed her name to the state
ment that her sisters dances were
the same as her own, but an even
ing with Ida Fuller and the vivid re-
memberance of those dances of the
earlier part of the season leave little
choice between them.
Last night Ida commenced q four
nights engagement at the Seattle
Theatre, supported by the best
vaudeville that has been seen Is this
city in years. The entertainment
was a succession of novelties from
the rise OF the curtain upon the Para
gon Royal bell ringers until the last

Engineer De la Barre Studying
on East Side Sluiceway
Repairs.
THE LEDGE ROCK HARD TO HANDLE
Being Full of Spots Where the
Strong Current Does Dead
ly Execution.

Engineer De Ia Barre OF the water
power company has not rs yet de-
cidsd upon what shall be done with
the East side sluiceway which was
undermined by the late flood. 1t
will be remembered that during the
height Of the food the crib work at
the east end Of the apron OF the falls
washed out. This was followed by
the speedy undermining of the ledge
OF rock over which the sluice was
constructed and the fall Of u large
section of rock. 1t was one Of those
catastrophes which could not be
foreseeL or averted. II there were
nothing to be done but to replace
the floor and the side wall OF the
sluiceway the matter would be
simple, but AZ the future aud the
possible recurrence of great floods
and similar trouble are to he taken
into considera ton. 1t has been
thought best to be in no hurry about
undertaking the work. The lime
stone ledge over which the falls of
st. Anthony pour has always been
q treacherOus and difficult factor In
the problem Of controlling the river.
1t was the crumbling Of this ledge
which made necessary the extensive
works for improving the falls under
taken by the government In the 7Vs.
The ledge, especially towards the
eastern side Of the channel, is full OF
seams and faults and breaks up east
~. 1t requires most careful treat
ment, and Mr.. De la Barre thinks it
best to give the matter very careful
consideration before deciding just
what shall be done. 1t is. POSSIBLE
that a considerable change in the
controlling WORKS at that part Of the
bed of the river may be undertaken.
In the meantime there ia no danger
of the water doing any more damage
as the sluiceway was closed immedf-
ately after the break-though with
tremendous exertiOns-andi it's bed is
now dry. At the same time the mass
OF limestone which fell down from
the sluiceway "rip-rapped' the bank
perfectly 40 that further erosion from
below ia impossible for the present.
Some idea Of theforce which caused
the damage may be gained from the
fact that there was at the time eight
or ten times the usual volume of wa
ter in the river, and that the amount
passing through the sluiceway alone
was more than the usual volume Of
the entire liver. The freshet caused
great changes in the bed Of the river
below the falls. Where the main
current formerly flowed in deep
channel just above the. Tenth avenue
bridge there fs now-nOt sandbnr
but a bar Of rock fragments Of
various sizes. The channel was
moved toward the east side of the
river
