Many Enterprises win be Practicable.
Duluth Herald:
e. E. Lewis, of the Grand Marais 4
North Shore Railroad company, in an In
terview with Herald reporter today
SAID that the financial arrangements of
the company have been completed and
That as soon as the survey is completed
SO that estimates can be made, contracts
on the construction work will begin.
The prospect for the early completion of
this long-talked-of line, Mr.. Lewis says,
has resulted in the reiuyenation of a
number of enterprises that contemplated
the development of the natural resources
of the north shore country, and which
have at different times been suspended
because of the impracticabi]ity of going
forward with them without railroad con-
nections.
Old residents Of Duluth will recall the
the organization of many companies dur
ing the past twenty-five years, the object
of which was Co develope mines on iron,
copper and silver deposits, that have at
different times done more or less work in
the country between Duluth and Port
Arthur, and were suspended because of
the great expense of carrying on explora-
tions and development, when there was
no means of communicating with the
outside world in any way for several
months in the year, and for the remain
der of the time only with the greatest
difficulty. The railroad will make many
of these enterprises practicable, and Mr..
Lewis is in receipt of letters of inquiry
daily from men in all parts of the coun-
Try. who are interested in them. nun-
Der of these, he says, have much merit,
and he is convinced that great deal of
capital will be invested in different
schemes in Cook county within the next
year. A number of sawmills will proba-
bly, be built at different points east of
Two Harbors and be ready to begin work
as soon the railroad can be built to give
them an outlet for their products.

usually in the center, before the high
altar, must themselves have formed a
singular feature in it's appearance. The
waXen figure Of the deceased, he explains,
was borrowed from the Romans, and, in
this country, can be traced back as far
as the fourteenth century. Some Of these
old figures are now among the curiosities
of the abbey. The reverend historian of
the venerable pile tells a story that
sounds very incongruous at this time of
day. The keen rivalry between the two
great metropolitan churches, st. Paul's
and Westminster Abbey, is familiar to
most students of history. after the pub
lie funeral of Nelson says Stanley, 'the
car on which his coffin had been carried
TO st. Paul's, was deposited there, and
became an object of such curiosity that
the sightseers deserted Westminster and
all hocked to St PauPs. This was a Sc
rious injury TO the officials of the abbey.

A FAIR WEATHER HIDALGo.
Don Carlos Fears to Act in Spafn's
Awful Emergency.
(Fr0m the Florida TIMES Union

(From the Florida Times Union.)
Don Carlos talks as If he expected to
live forever. He has mapped out for
himself a nice program and 1t has as
many contingencies in it as that of the
miIkmaid who counted chickens before
they were hatched and the reaper. whose
name is death, will probably garner Don
Carlos in before his chickens are hatched.
This Spanish grandee, who has for
many years claimed a throne, says ne will
not accep the crown of Spain now He
would be blamed for the misfortunes that
he sees coming thick and fast-misfor-
tunes that even Don Carlos does not claim
the ability TO avert. He Will wait The
present dynasty will be overthrown and
a republic will take It's place. He Will
wait again and the republic will crumble
and he Will rule the country OF the Dons
The selfshness of this program is not so
surprising as the candor with which Il
IS avowed. If Don Carlos is so capable
Che says when he takes cnarge he will
rebuild the Spanish nation), why does he
refuse to take charge now? Now is the
country's time of need, and ne processes
to be patriot While he could not save
everything, he might save more from the
wreck than would be saved without him.
If he wishes to baSk in future sunshine,
why does he now consign a woman and
boy to the fury of the Storm 1t may be
that If he fears the storm he VIII never
See the sunshine, but he should ne man
and a patriot He should do his duty in
the present, and let the future take care
of itself.
As matter of fact however, e.do NOT
suppose it would be as easy for Don Car
los to ascend the throne now as he pro-
fesses 10 believe, and as 20 his prophecy
of the birth and death of a repu blfc it
may come true, and it may not. If the
republic is born it may not die. and If it
die it may not die till long after Don Car
los shall have been gathered to his faith
ers. If Spain is ever restored to ker
former greatness, or even tithe of it,
the restoration will be the work of men
who are as ready to respond to the call
of their country when in trouble as they
are to take charge when all Is peace
again. Only men of this kind can make a
nation great. The other kind, though
counted by millions, add little or nothing
to a nations strength.

PRIESTS MAY OFFICIATE.
The Catholic Church on More Friendly
Terms With MasOns THAI Formerly.

An important decree has recently
been received from Rome by Mgr. Mar
tinelli, the apostolic delegate in the
United States. The degree refers to
the funeral services of Roman Catholics
who have joined Masonic orders, and is
by far the most liberal utterance which
Rome has yet made on this subject. 1t
allows a priest to otficiate, and permits
the interment to be in consecrated
ground, provided the deceased was not
openly hostile to the church and ex
pressed at some time, even if indirectly,
a willingness to become reconciled to
his CORNER faith. This decree will end
long standing grievance concerning
the refusal Of some priests to allow
Roman Catholic ceremonies affiliated
with prescribed orders, while others
gave the full rites Of the church under
similar circumstances.

remains from Missoula and after seeing
the last sad rites performed returned to
their field of labor.
Mr.. Rombauer was laid up last spring
for some time at the Missoula hospital
with an attack of pneumonia, from
which he never fully recovered. He
spent some time at White Sulphur
Springs during the summer in the hope
of regaining his health and later took
trip to the coast, and from there he
returned about the lst of November.
The mineral land commissioners went
to Missoula on election day and visited
him at that time, but he was too ill to
come out to the camp with them, which
was located on Swan river in the Clear
water country about 12O miles from
Missoula, but promised TO follow as soon
as he was able. He started from Mis-
sOula on Saturday, Nov. 18th, and stayed
that night at a logging camp known as
Potomac. The next morning he started
for GriswOlds S camp, where he remained
Sunday night. He was then so weak
that he had to be helped off his horse.
He left the next morning about
o'clock, his condition being not much
improved, and stayed at Hammond's
logging camp the next night. Tuesday
morning he again started on his Jour
ney, and the only place where he was
ever seen alive after that, as far as has
been learned, was near Woodworth
postotfice. 1t is thought that he died
that day about noon, after eating his
lunch, and the probable cause was heart
failure. He was subject to heart trou-
bic and had good deal of trouble i'll

instructions given to his companions
would indicate that he anticipated that

R. T.ROMBAUER'S DEATH
He Expires on the Way to the Mineral Land
Commissioners Camp.
HIS BODY FOUND LYING IN THE ROADWAY
Death Had Overtaken Him Suddenly and
Alone-IIad Been Dead Several Days
Before Discovered Remains
Buried at Philipsburg.

The sad news of the death of Hon
Roland T. Rombauer was first conveyed
to his friends in this city in q telegram
received by Mr.. w. T. Allison last Sun
day evening. Mr.. Rombauer had been
in poor health of late and had informed
his associates of the mineral land COM
mission to communicate with Mr.. Ali
son in the event that something should
unexpectedly happen to him, and the
telegram was sent in compliance with
the request. Nothing is known of the
Mr.. Rom bauer as he was all alone on
his way from Missoula to the camp of
the mineral land commissioners on
Swan river, and as near as can be
learned he died on Tuesday, Nov. 14th
about noon, and mis- body was not dis
covered until the following Thursday
evening Mr.. Charles Holman, mem-
Der OF the land commission unexpected
ly came across the dead body of his
associate lying III the road about 30
miles from camp. The body was upon
its back with one hand on the breast
and the other laying at it's side. There
was no sign of any struggle and death
had evidently ove-tahen him suddenly
and peacefully. Near by Were found
some pieces Of paper which had evident
ly contained his lunch, and the broken
halter Of his horse was tied to tree,
which would indicate that MI Rom
bauer had tied his horse about noon for
the purpose of eating his lunch. The
horse, no doubt, became frightened and
broke away, and so far has not been
found. Mr. Holman covered the body
with some blankets and rode to camp,
where he reported his find to his com
panions. A box was at once made by
the commissioners and the remains
brought to Missoula. Arrangements
We're made for the funeral which took
place last Tuesday afternoon in this
