WHEREFORE HE SENT NOT ROSES.

tus
Thou blamest me because | sent
No roses unto thee,
But never slight to thee was meant
Nor lack Of love In me.
Nay but thought thine auburn hair
A garland more divine,
And crowned with thy roses fair,
Thou hAdst no need Of mine.
In Homer Meleager claims
No wreath but tresses bright
Roses were fame upon the flames
Or light adjoining light.
The rose is Jealous know It well,
And soon IT falls and dies,
And legend saith its birth befell
In melancholy wise,
For Cypris, hasting on her way,
Was pierced by a thorn,
And from her blood, the Cyprians say,
The cruel rose was born.
Wouldst thou be crowncdY oh, beware
Those blossoms pitiless
They spared not Cypris. Would they spare
Thy fragrant lovelinessY
Then blame me not because | sent
No roses unto thee,
For never slight TO thee was meant
Nor lack Of love in mel

Speaking Of the common belief that
all great railroads have vast amount
of watered stock, Mr.. Hill said that
the average capitalization of railroads
was $4,000 to the mile, while that of
the Great Northern was under $4,000

the dollar had gone into this stock

Mr.. Hill pointed out that the freight
rates of the Des Moines river valley
were higher than in the Red river val
ley, whereas the soil was not to be COM

said, in the Iowa valley, was $40 an
acre, while they were from 500 to $50
an acre in the Red river valley. Don't

eve might have constructed this
load earlier and for less money but we
have built a road, and 1 think am
sa1e IN saying the only one from Lake
Superior that has a maximum grade of
tWenty-one feet to the mile. The road
from here to the Red river valley must
depend on the commerce produced in
large part adjacent to the line. The
low prices governing many products
makes low freight rates necessary for
their distribution. To exact high rates
would destroy the enterprise of pro-
auction. 1t may surprise many of YOU.
but it Is true that the rates in force
twenty years ago if applied to the bust
ness done by the Great Northern for
the past twelve months would Give If
over $3S.OOO00O more than was collect

that period has therefore been equal
to $SS 100000. That is worth something.

FOsston
Fosston Is still a small city, having
out l'OOo population, but it is now in
ier way TO become the metropolis OF
the region between Crookston and Du-
lutn. The government land In the

OTHER POINTS ON THE LINE.
Midway between Fosston and Bemidjl
Is the town of Bagley. Bagley was not
named in honor of the hero Of the Win
SLOW, but was given It's name many
years ago. 1t already boasts Of a pros
porous newspaper. Bagley's strength
lies in its saw mills. The logs float
down the Clearwater river and Walker
brook. The surrounding country Is full
OF Norway and white pine and other
woods. 1t is the supply depot and paw
station of the lumber companies in the
western halt OF the Red Lake country
and 1t has other advantages as a trade
center which will make it one of the
leading places in Northern Minnesota
within few years. Bagley business
men believe they can compete with
Fosston for the trade Of western Bel
tram and southwestern Polk counties.
The town has hotel and several gen
eral stores and other enterprises are
being promoted there.
The next station eastwards is Snevlin,
which is small but enterprising. Shevlin
Is ambitious and with it's advantages
as a center of trade should become one
of the important towns of that section.
Sooway stands in a clearing, but the
land in its vicinity is capable of de-
velOpment as agricultural land AMI
there is reason to believe that when
settlers appreciate the advantages they
will very soon flock there and make the
town trading center.
There is a good chance for saw
mill at Eckles, a few miles east of 500
way, and now that facilities for ship
ping are at hand it is probable that
one will be started there.

farmers to move their grain to market
The valley has since steadily developed
In population and commercial impor-

AS many as 100000 bushels OF
grain have been harvested in one sea-
son In the Red river valley. The pop
uIation of the valley Is largely COM
posed Of farmers who are now pros
porous. The trade Of the valley is es-
timated to be worth $50, 900, 900 annual
ly 1t is for this that the city of Du-
luth has turned envlous eyes upon the
valley for many years.
MIR. HILL SPEAKS.
When on Thursday evening in Du-
luth Col. Graves introduced James J.
Hill as the author and f1nisher of the
great work Of constructing a splendid
line of railway from the head of Lake
Superior to the Pacific, Mr.. Hill arose
and, when the applause was subsidized,
said:
"Mr. Chairman, Ladies and Gentle
men: 1t was twenty-eight years ago
last month. since / first visited Duluth.
1t was the occasion of the opening and
celebrating Of a railway. The old Lake
Superior & Mississippi road, now the
st. Paul & Duluth road, was opened
about Aug. 1, twenty-eight years ago.
Today, owing to the kindness of the
management Of that road, l arrived
here over the same line. I say the
same line, but it is not the same, for as
[ rode over it 1 find that it has been
relocated to some extent and practical
ly rebuilt. On the occasion of the first
trip it took us the greater part of an
entire day to come up to Duluth, but
today, with time to spare, we came
up in four and one-half hours. (Ap-
pIause) Duluth justly remembers its
first railway and 1 hope it will always
regard it as the pioneer line to the head
of the lakes.
''The work 1 have had in hand for
the past twenty-five years is nearing
completion. We took hold Of the old
st. Paul e. Pacific, 400 miles long, two
streaks of rust across the country with
the bitches between the rails. Possibly,
if 1 had realized what was before me, 1
should have shifted the burden to other
shoulders. But we made the best fight
we could and have realized success in
the ability to at least say that the
work is nearing completion. The last
and most important part Of the work
will be opened to daily use in a few
days.

THROUGH THE RESERVATION.
The town of Rosby has an Importance
as it is likely to be the junction be-
tween the Eastern Railway Of Mime
sofa and the Brainerd & Northern Min
nesota, which is now under cOnstruc-
ton from Walker.
The next town east is Farris, which
is on the western boundary of the Chip
peWa reservation. Farris is in the
heart Of a big game district. Moose
deer elk and bear are to be found in
there in their native haunts, and the
lakes abound with fish.
The line traverses the Chippewa res
ervation for a distance Of fifty miles,
and then arrives at Grand Rapids
which is already 1ourishing commu-
nifty. 1t is the county seat of ItaSca
county and has been connected with
the outside world several years by the
Eastern Minnesota railway. The town
is modern in all it's appurtenances. 1t
has newspapers, banks, electric lights,
hotels, churches and saw mills and any
number Of stores which do q thriving
business
The name of Schley has been bestow-
ed upon new town, and Cuba is the
name Of another. Both are yet in their
infancy, but 1t is believed they have
q future.
The completion of the F'osston line
throws all this rich country open to
settlement, and it is confidently be-
lieved that within a few years the
northern part of Minnesota will be as
accessible and well known as the
southern, and that several millions
more of population will be added to the
state.

FOUR BOXES DID 1T.
Remarkable Success of a New Pile
Cure.

People who have suffered for months
or years from the pain and inconveni-
ence Of that common disorder, piles,
will look with skepticism upon the
claims of the makers of the new dis
cCvery for cure Of all forms Of piles,
known under the name Of Pyramid
Pile Cure; nevertheless the eXtraordi-
nary cures performed by this remedy
are such as to warrant the investiga-
ton of any sufferer. AS a case in point
the following letter speaks for itself
Mr.. Henry Thomas, of sub-station No.
8, Hosack Ave-, Columbus, Ohio, writes
as follows:
Pyramid Drug Co.:
Gentlemen:-I want you to use my
name if 1t will be of any use to YOU
I was so bad with the piles that I lost
work on that account. Nothing did me
any good. 1 read in Cincinnati of the
many cures Of piles by the Pyramid
Pile Cure and 1 went to a drug store
and asked for it. The drug clerk told
me that he had something else that he
thought was better, but 1 told him that
l wanted to try the Pyramid first.
The first box helped me so much that
I tried another and then to complete
the cure used two more boxes, making
four in all. 1 am now completely cur
ed. Have not a trace Of piles and
had suffered for four years with the
worst form of protruding piles
1 suffered death from piles, but
have found the Pyramid Pile Cure to
be just as represented I have recon-
mended it to several Of my friends and
1 am thankful to be able to write you
what good the remedy has done for
me-"
Physicians recommend the Pyramid
Pile Cure because it contains no opium.
cocaine, or mineral poison of any kind,
and because it is so safe and pleasant
to use, being painless and applied at
night. The patient is cured in a sur
prisingly short time with no inconVeni-
ence whatever.
The Pyramid Pile Cure is sold by
druggists at 80 cents per package, and
If there is any constipation 1t is well
to use the Pyramid Pills at the same
time with the Pile Cure, as constipa-
ton is very often the cause Of piles
and the pills effectually remove the
costive condition. Price of pills is 25
cents per package.

anything to advance the interests Of
the communities along our line If
the people along the line are not pros
porous we are not. We are either pros
porous or poor, for our interests are
common. 1t is the desire and the aim
of the Great Northern to help all of the
communities that it serves in any prac-
teal and permanent manner in it's pow
er.
Possibly you think that we get a
great deal out of the building and
operation of our line. Let me tell you
that the annual dividends on the shares
Of the Great Northern are about 81, $780,
600. The annual tax is S740,0OO or one
half of the revenue of the people own
ing the property. 1t is necessary for
the successful operation of a road that
the owners should get Something out
of it. But I hope that the reduction
Of rates is not yet by any means at an
end. I am ambitious and believe that
the roads can do this as the country
and the volume of business grows. AS
