Richard Trevethick's Success.
About the years 1900 and 1902 the oues-
ton of building railways for stage coaches
was discussed and it was further proposed
that stationary engines might be placed
at certain distances apart and by means
of circulating chains greatly lessen Tho
employment of horses. While these plans
were being considered Richard Treye-
thlck' a pupil of William Murdoch. built
a steam carriage for use on the common
hlShway He took out his patent March

ance OF an ordinary stage coach. Tho
horizontal cylinder, the boiler and tho
furnace box were placed in the rear Of
the hlnd axle, and to the credit of the in
ventor it may be said that this was tho
hrst successful high pressure engine con-
structed on the principle of moving n mis-
ton by the elasticity Of steam against Tho
pressure only of the atmosphere. In nd

ity of moving quite rapidly along tho
roadway. '"'

forward to the visit of the adjutant-
general, and when they paraded for in
spection on Monday night their guns
and buttons were shining and their ears
were eager for the word of command.
Captain Newton put the men through
the different evolutIons, which were
executed in manner that won
the hearty congratulations of the two
visiting officers.
This inspection, however, was not the
annual one, and will have nothing to do
with the ratings of the company for the
next year. The annual inspection does
not come until after the annual en-
campment. This change from last year
is generally looked upon as goo, one
by the officers of the guard all over the
state, as it gives the commands the
benefit Of the experience they will get
while at Camp Douglas.
The officers arrived on Monday morn
ing and for the first part Of the day
Capt. Newton made it pleasant for them.
In the afternoon Mayor Starkweather
acted the part Of host and took them
around the city in carriage.
From here the officers proceeded to

PRES iDENT JAMES J. HILL
Visits Superior and Inspects Great
Northern Property.

James J. Hill, president Of the Great
Northern railway, with a party of Off
cial associates, arrived i'll Superior last
Tuesday, from st. Paul.
With Mr.. Hill we're W. f. Newman,
second vice president of the Great
Northern: T. B. Clarke, general traffic
manager; James L. Hill, manager of
the Eastern Minnesota; F. f. Ward
assistant to President Hill. At this point
the party were joined by President f.
y. Saunders, of the Northwestern Coal
company, and c. &. Yale, the claim
agent of the Northern.
The party came here to inspect the
property of the company at this point.
During the forenoon the party inspected
the road between here and Saunders
station, and in the afternoon Allouez
bay was visited.
President Hill did not have u,uch to
say for publication, but enough was
said to lead to the suspicion that the
Great Northern people are thinking
seriously of building three grain eleva-
tors at this point in the near future.
The visit to the oar docks at Allouez
bay seems to have given the impression
that they have become the property of
the Great Northern.
While nothing definite could be ascer-
tanned regarding the intentions of the
company it is very evident that a there
is something III the wind and develop
ments may be expected shortly.

While it may be that the new health
officer may not prove any more efficient
than his immediate predecessor, we
are satisfied that he will prove quite as
efficient. and we are pleased to know
council over this appointment has been
ended in so satisfactory manner. We
have ALWAYS admitted the right of the
mayor to fill the public offices with his
and proper persons to fill the positions.
The efficiency of the city government is
more to be considered than the mere
payment of anti election promises.

first instalment. This is the proper
course to pursue. Saloon keepers de-
serve no more consideration than other

The city ATTORNEY gave it as his opin-

are exempt from taxation, it thus fol-
lows as result that the city cannot
accept the proposition made by them
to pay taxes into the city treasury.

MAYOR, both of which were sustained.

Tired Machinery.

1t is a well-known fact that some
times piece of machinery shows signs
of fatigue and declines to do work.
Given rest, It will ruin all right. Men,
however, never think that they need
rest, and if they are not invalius they
are old before their time. Every man
should have a season of rest and recre-
alton, and the best place to spend it Is
along the line of the Saint Paul n pu-
lnth Railroad, whose many and match
less summer resorts offer many charms.
The Duluth Short Line, as it is most
generally known, is the favOrite route
between the Twin Cities and Duluth,
West Superior, Taylor Falls, saltwater
and other points. because Of the modern
service it gives. and it runs through a
country famous for its many natural
beauties and chains of beautiful lakes.

A SURPRISE.

At the regular meeting Of Custer
Camp OF Sons of Veterans last Tuesday
evening there was a little surprise for
the camp that was not in the regular
order Of business. The l.. A. S, auXil-
Iary to the Sons, after the business of
the evening had been disposed OF, in
vited the members of the camp and
Ct. \. r. present to adjourn to their
lodge room adjoining, where delicious
refreshments had been spread. But
that was not all. In the center of the
hall stood a beautiful sllkcn banner
which the eyer thoughtful ladies had
made and which was presented to the
camp by the president of the society
Mrs. Scoon. To say ii was a surprise to
the boys is putting it very mildly, and
after the captain of the camp had re-
covered himself sufficiently to express
the thanks and appreciation of its mem
bers attention was directed to the re-
freshment table. We might add here
that these two organizations are grow
ing. The Ladies auxiliary initiated two
new members and Custer Camp admit
