1t is a wonder that our young
people have never organized a
boat or rowing club; the bayou
during the summer is the rendez-
vous of our people every evening,
the banks are green and pretty.
and something upon the smooth
water to entertain the public,
would be quite an attraction.

GREAT NORTHERN ANNUAL.
That and the Duluth Set for To-
DIV

The annual meeting of the directors
of the Great Northern Is scheduled for
today. At the same time, the directors
of the ST Paul, Minneapolis & Manitoba,
absorbed by the Great Northern, but
still retaining it's individual directory,
will convene for their annual session.
The annual meeting of the St Paul &
Duluth is scheduled to occur at the gen.
eral Offices and President r. Somers
Hayes, of the road Is in the city, hav-
ing arrived yesterday from New York.
At the Great Northern offices 1t was
stated that there was some doubt as TO
whether the annual meeting would be
held today on account of the returning
volunteers and the fact that the day
will be generally accepted as holiday.
1t is probable that both the directors
of the Great Northern and Manitoba will
meet and adjourn until tomorrow, when
the usual reports will be presented.
The st. Paul & Duluth will probably
decide to postpone the consideration of
business for one day also, in order that
the holiday may be observed.
The figures of the financial statement
of the Great Northern are completed
are said on reliable authority to show
a most excellent condition of affairs The
gross earnings item, it is predicted, will
show very substantial increase over
the figures of last year, while freight
and passenger receipts have also increas-
ed. The items devoted to construction,
repair and maintenance are increased
over last year. owing to the immense
amount of work of this character which
the road has had under way during the
past eighteen months. For this reason
the income and earnings figures are C m
sidered the more significant.

Mich, where he would complete the III
erary work upon whieh he was engaged,
and go direct from there to the campaign
engagements made for him by MI Bry-
an and several of the state committees
Mr.. Towne fortunately fastened the con-
clusion of his work, being the second Oh
two extended articles on the Paris expo
eition for the Cosmopolitan, and antlci-
pated a few days of quiet rest at Duluth
On arriving today, however, he hnds the
campaign call quickened, in letters from
MIR. Bryan, and that he Is to oegln IN
the Southwest, commencing at Grinnell,
To-. on Monday next.
Although thus unnotifed of the coming,
sti11 the word was so circulated as that
there was on hand to greet him quite d
representation from different parts OF the
Sixth district. including, outside of ST.
Louis county, Itasca, Pine, Carton,
Crow Wing, Morrison, Benton, Stearns'
ReItrami. Kanabec and Anoka counties.
