men. On Tuesday afternoon he
gave the boys a royal time, hir-
ing a four-horse team and bus
from the Sellers livery and took
the boys for a few turns about
the city. Paddy is q king with
the lumber~jacks. and likes to
see the boys enjoy themselves.
He has putin fair winters
work, but would doubtless have
continued longer had 1t not been
tor the deep snow. The boys
spent a great proportion of their
winters wages in the city, in
true lumber-jack style.
The Duluth, Missabe & North
ern has a great amount of i'm -
provements under way which is
furnishing employment to a large
number of men who might 9th
erwise be unemployed at this
season of the year. There are
two train crews, q steam shovel
crew and 40 laborers at work on
1910 feet Of trestle filling close
to she CITY, while the bridge fill
ing all told will aggregate $50
and cost probably from $4,000
to $4,000. The lowering of the
grade at Columbia Junction is an
expensive undertaking, consid-
ering the length of the grade,
and is employing a large force.
The work of filing bridges is
also in progress at points near
the northern end of the road.
The work of filling bridges mig hi

We regret to learn that Rev.
I. c. McGonigle, of Tower, con.
templates leaving his pfesent
field Of labor and taking charge
Of a parish in Indiana. We have
not learned the name of the place
nor the time Of his departure,
but understand it will be in the
near future. The gentleman is
al eloquent speaker and a hare
worker and his place on the
ranges cannot be easily filled
Hoosierdom is q fine field, how
ever, and they probably nee6
faithful laborers in the vineyard
down there more than they dc
up here. We trust that he may
be successful in gathering much
good grain into the granary o:
the Lord. One reason for the
change, we are informed, is the
impaired health OF his wife
