that a high grade OF tobacco could be
raised here was secuted. All this is now
changed. Why not the same with wheat

Trouble With the Lake Bridge

Major Clinton b. Sears OF the Corps O
Engineers. o. S. A., has requisite the
United States district attorney to sue
out an Injunction against the Mineral
Range railroad and the county OF ii ough
ton, to prevent any alteration being
made to the present bridge at Portage
Lake, until the consent OF the Secretary
OF War has been obtained.
IL is to be hoped the Misunderstanding
will soon be reetifed in order that no de-
lay in the railroad traffic across the lake
may occur-for it must be only a mis-
understanding, as Mr.. A. B. FL iredge, the
railroad attorney when he obtained the
supervisors permission to the alteration,
informed them the Secretary permission
had been obtained.

Ma de Many Friends.

Before the match at the Italian Hal
last Saturday night Farmer Burns was
practically unknown here and he had to
hustle TO find man to keep time for him.
However, he made many friends during
the match. lie showed a willingness to do
to the right thing and never once sho wed
an ugly feeling which very often dsgusts
people with such contests. Burns is no
doubt about as speedy wrestler in the
catch-ss catch-can style as has been here
for many day. Those who saw his
work and have seen Sonny Dwyer wres-
tie would give good deal to have the
two men get together in match. 1t
would certainly prove great drawing
card and a match well worth seeing.
The farmer will leave for Montana to-
night or tomorrow where be will wrestle
on the 7th of March for $1,000, being
$500 side, with a man OF the name OF
ONeal. who has thrown all bis competi.
tors so far. The match will be in Farmer
Burns fayorite style, ch-as-catch.ca can.
Mr.. Mcmillan. who is travelling with
the farmer. is also wrestler OF no little
ability and is said to be able to throw
the farmer in cercain styles.

terday gathering evidence to have them
pulled for keeping open on Sunday, but
John says he has evidence against large

to stand.
