No one has ever accused Eugene Cowles
of being an actor. He can't act, but he can
sing and he can dance, and in the "Serenade"
that voice of his is q perfect delight When
he decided to go on the stage his family
out West were bitterly opposed to 1t, and
for a time there was a decided GOODNESS he
tween him and the rest OF his relations. He
had a position in his native town, he was
singing in the choir, and his family thought
that he ought 70 be perfectly contented
with his lot. Eugene, however, was deter
mined, and left home and mother, ami all
that sort of thing, to make a name for himself
on the stage, and now he and his family are
on good terms again, and the old saying that
nothing succeeds like success is proven true
nuca more.

Morrison county possesses az an
agricultural locality is becoming
known to the outside world, and Its
many acres Of fertile. but unused,
soil will soon lie under the plOw, anu
yielding it's share of the county's
great industrial wealth. &'
Wednesday evening a party OF ten
gen tlenen from Spirit Lake, Iowa,

search Of farming land. All of them
had the appearance of being intell'
gent, well-tO do farmers. a class w no
will be welcomed as new residents Of
of Morrison county. should they de-
eide to locate here. And that they
will SO decide there can be little
doubt, from the many favorablesex-
pressions they made regarding the
city and what they had seen and
learned of the surrounding country.
They were looking for railroad lands,
and came here to- look over the
Northern Pacific lands in this county.
Thev were accompanied by G.. -B.

given a view of the dam. ~
Every one OF them expressed sur
prise at the magnitude of our indus
tries and stated that they knew OF
no city in the northwest that had
brighter prospects for future growth
and prosperity.
That these men are here to investi-

the remark one of them made. He
stated that he had visited nearly
every business establishment In the
city last evening and this morning
and priced ali articles that ne could
think of. and found that !they could
be purchased cheaper here than in
the community from which they
