The First Crematory.

The first crematory in the. northwest
will be completed soon at Forest Gene
terry, in st. Paul. 1t is being erected
by the Crematory association, at cost
of about IS, 600, in response to grow
ing demand for means to care for the
bodies of the dead by incineration.
As soon as the building is completed
and all the appliances put in place,
there will be a cremation, body hav-
ing been placed in the vault of the
cemetery some time ago with this ex-
press understanding, and several
others which now lie buried beneath
the green sward will probably be dis
inferred and reduced to ashes by this
modern method. Robert Robinson, of
Chicago, who is the contractor in
charge, and also the inventor of this
particular apparatus, will be on hand
for the purpose of conducting the first
few cremations.

Ordered Off:

The men employed by Halverson,
Richardson & Co., of Minneapolis, in
constructing the new logging road at
Red Lake, had a little experience with
the Indians which will not soon be for
gotten. They were camping at the
mouth of Mud river on the reservation,
when band of indians swooped down
upon them and took all their tools,
tents, etc, away from them, and left
orders for them to at once leave the
reservation. This they did, and all
their belongings were restored to them
on the condition that they will not go
back upon the reservation. The men
are now at work constructing the road
off of the reservation.
