From the way in which available
business locations on Pacific avenue

very evident that certain of our citi-
zens were planning great things for
that side of the track. Nothing
definite was known however until
this week when the articles of incor-
poration of the Morris improvement

ing j. A. johnson, our pioneer real
estate man, John Grove, of later fame,
j. w. Harris, L. E. Pearce and L. w.

pany are j. w. Harris, president, L.
E. Pearce, vice-president, j. A.

co. |. TRANSFERRED.
1t is to be Known as Co. |. or F. of
the Third.

Adit. Gen. Lambert is gradually
wiping out the Fourth regiment OF
the national guard either by muster
ing the companies out or by transfer
ring them to the other regiments.
Word reached here Thursday that Co.
[. had been transferred to the Third
regiment,
According to the law passed by the
last Legislature the Fourth regiment
was to become a reserve regiment
when the Thirteenth returned from
Manila. AS this would be in tho
first of July and as the regiment had
several companies too good to be dis
banded while the other two regiments
of the guard were short few com
paniesi and had other companies
which became badly disorganized
during,the interim of the Spanish
war, it was decided to consolidate the
three present regiments of the guard
into two, dropping the poorest com
panies of all the regiments.
Accordingly Adjutant General
Lambert Tuesday issued an order
mastering out Company D, Second
regiment, at Fairmont, and Com
pany FsThird regiment, at Fergus
Falls. Company H. Fourth regiment
at Rochester, will be mustered into
the Second as Company D. and some
other Fourth regiment company, pos
sibly Co. |. of Morris will go into the
Third as Company F.
This will leave the two national
guard regiments with nine companies
each, theFourth having been entirely
obliterated except Company Ii. OF
Rochester, Company |. of Morris and
Company X. of Northtield, which
goes into the Third.
The two companies dropped served
during the late war in the Twelfth
and Fourteenth regiments, and got
enough of soldering atCampIhomas
Consequently, they did not have suf-
feient strength at the last inspection
to warrant keeping themin the guard.

WHY THE GIRAFFE WAS MADE

OF bones III Its neck as we have in ours
In the human neck are seven vertebrate
or joints of the spine. In the CRATES
neck are also seven joints Of the spine.
but in his case each bone is about a
foot long.
Now, why should tbs, -ir,na no 60

The only reasnoable explanation Of

Ill order that he might be able to reach
up 10 the leaves on the tall trees on
which he loves 10 feed. The animal
piucks these leaves one by one, twist

them and then pulling them from their
stalks. Sometimes he eats blades OF

The giraffe can run with great speed.
