The Great Northern.

Residents and those who are inter-
ested in the new town of Walker and
the counties of Cass and Beltrami are
overjoyed &C what they consider sure
signs of the building of Great North
ern extensions in that section. The
surveyors of the company, who have
been running line from Park Rapids
have almost completed their work and
are now camped just outside the vii
lage of Walker.
Shortly they will continue the sur
vey up the Pike bay, where it is said
the line will connect with the much
talked-of Fosston survey, made dur
ing the winter. The people who live
there have the notion that the Cana
dian government have subsidized a
new road to be built from Winnipeg
to Duluth, which will traverse Bel
trami and Itasca and some O{sshe ter
ritory of the Great Northerh and Du-
luth, Superior, and Western. The
folks in the north point to this as
showing that the Great Northern at
least is due to do something to pro-
tect it's own interests. Globe.

An eel, weighing four pound and
measuring three feet and seven inches
was captured Tuesday morning in the
lake Agnes at the outlet between the
two la kes. 1t attracted attention
during the day at Raiter's meat
market. This is one of the original or
descendent of the cells planted in lake
Winona about thirteen years ago by
Mr.. Morissee and several others.
They were shipped by express from
New York State. Citi-
zen.
1t was unfortunat that cells were
planted in the lakes we'll stocked
with food fishes, for they are very de-
structive of the spaun of valuable
fishes. The writer once heard Seth
Green, the eminent in the science and
practice of fish culture that the eel
and sucker were the two great curses
of inland waters. They follow the
heavy females to the spawning beds
and destroy vast quantities of the
newly deposited eggs.

The Board of County Commission
ers met on Monday morning. It is
the regular session, and there is con-
siderable work OF an important ma
ture for the commissioners to attend
to. The first thing that was called to
their attention was large number of
applications from towns in the eastern
part of the county for appropriations
to aid them in replacing bridges and
repairing roads made impossible by
the recent heavy rains. The districts
represented by Commissioners Scheel-
ar and Miller have suffered the worst.
There are some bridges gone in the
districts represented by Commission
ers Engelhard and Meyer, but Com
missioner Smith of Franklin county,
reports all bridges there intact as far
as he has heard. 1t seems that the
western part of the county escaped the
terrific down pour of rain that swept
over the eastern. The towns of St.
Augusta, Main Prairie, Lynden and
Fair Haven seem to have suffered the
worst. In the town of St. Augusta,
alone, Commissioners Miller stated to
the board this morning there were
fourteen bridges washed away. Lux
ST. Joe, St. Wendell, Rock
vile, Wakefield and other towns also
suffered. Most of the towns have
asked for assistance from the county,
and a large number of applications
for appropriations are before the
board Times.

quite an important discovery. In an

historical value of which can hardly
be estimated. There was the revolver
with which John Wilkes Booth fired
the fatal bullet, which ended the life
of Abraham Lincoln. Thereswere also
several articles that were taken from
Booth at the time of his capture, or
rather after his body had been re-
covered from the burning barn, few

! articles are allowed to remain in the

They should be placed in the Lincoln
Memorial building, on feminist, di-

purchased. But few people know O

says: 81 have not sufficient command

and my friends were fully convinced
tlat nothing but death would relieve
me of my suffering. In June, 1884,,
Mr.. Evans, then salesman for the
Wheeling Drug Co., recommended
Chamberlain Pain Balm. At this
time my foot and limb were swollen
to more than double their normal size

burst, but soon after I began using
the Pain Balm the swelling began to
decrease, the pain to leave, and now I

at this late day. what a furore OF eX-

Lafayette arrived once more in Amerl-

be remembered while memory endureS.
During President Monroe'S second ad-

rived at Staten Island on August 10
Sunday, 1924, accompanied by his
son, George Washington Lafayette. and
also by his son-in-law. A formal recep-
ton took place on the following day
the first fruits of the most abundant
harvest of welcome which Lafayette
was to receive during his year of travel
through the United States.
Lafayette was 61 years old when he
visited America as the Nations guest
and carried his years lightly. His head
was shaped like that OF Burns. He
had high forehead, long, aQuiline
lose. and rather thin face. His hair
was sandy and quite plentiful. His eyes
We're dark gray. restless and twink
ling: his eyebrows, light in color. but
heavily marked. His mouth was firm
and his lips smiled courteously at the
holiday crowd assembled TO do him
honor. The General was not very tall
but we'll made. His face was distinct
ly pleasant, and its expression was an
odd mixture of shrewdness, decision
and gay good humor His costume was
swallowtailed coat and trousers Of
dark brown, with a great display of
white waistcoat and neckcloth. A
bunch of seals hung from a broad
black ribbon at his waist. Over his
shoulders hung cloth riding-cloak
