Why would not a telephone system
connecting Warren, Argyle, Stephen
and Hallock with Crookston and
Grand Forks be practical scheme?
The irregular train and mail service
furnished by the Great Northern
makes it almost necessary to contrive
some means whereby we may get in
closer communication with the outside
world. A telephone system connect
ing these towns would be great con-
venience to thepeople in each of them
and we believe could be made pay
ing investment. This is a matter,
we believe, that the Board of Trade of
Warren ought to consider. Let us
hear also from other towns.

WATER! WATER!

WARREN The Modern Venice.

At last the food has come! But it
was not unexpected. With such an
enormous amount of snow as we
have had in these parts during the
past winter, it required no prophet
to tell us there would be high water
in the spring. The channel OF Snake
river, especially in it's winding course
through the town was filed with
snow which served to obstruct the
flow OF water, hence the river left the
channel east of town, part of the
water flowing northwest crossing the
railroad track between here and Ar
gyle, and part to the southwest in
undating the city. On Saturday
morning the water commenced to
overflow the east side. During the
following night the water rushed to
the west side, and the dwellers on the
Island had to make haste in moving
upstairs or to more fortunately To-
~cated neighbors. Their stock had to
be removed to places of safety. The
waters swept onward in restless tor
rents through the streets, forming
very pretty waterfalls as it dashed
into the river again at Mattson's
foot bridge and in the rear Of Blawd's,
Taralseth's and Lundgren's residen-
ces. Sidewalks we're afloat every
where, and rubber boots became u
necessity. Citizens were out anchor
ing their sidewalks in the middle of
the night All cellars in the submerged
districts were flooded and many werej
unable to remove their contents ow-
ing to the sudden coming of the wa
ter. On Monday a force OF men
were engaged in opening up the river
channel on the west side, and it had
the effect to lower the water on the
west side. But still at this writing

The latest legislative district re-
apportionment scheme places Mar

gives us one senator and two repre-

one, and until Marshall county gets
populous enough to form district OF
