Where's That New Train?

The people of Merrill are beginning
to ask themselves where that new
train is that the ST. Paul Railway
company was to put on the Valley
division this spring. Last fall some
time, petitions were circulated in all
the towns of the Wisconsin valley ask
ing that another passenger train be
put on. The railroad people prOfessed
to be in accord with the movement
and promised to put another train on
in the spring, but so far the promises
of the ST. Paul people have been like
that of the Spaniards. If
the management of the Chicago,
Milwaukee & st. Paul railway want to
retain the good will of the people
along the Wise onsin Valley they will
treat them as they ought to be treated.
They will give them such train SER
vice as the times demand and the
times demand two passenger trains
daily on the Wisconsin Valley division
now. The people of Merrill are mad
clear through. They want the St.
Paul people to live up to their
promises. They want better train
service. Merrill Advocate.
The people at this point are very
anxious to know whether this new
train. we have been promised for a
long time back by the st. Paul COM
pany, is really going to be put on. The
people want it badly.

OF our young artist George LaBreche,
was exhibited at the recent Old Set
tiers Reunion as an illustrative set
ting in connection with the paper
prepared by Captain j. L. Cotey. The
picture proved an interesting feature
of the meeting, showing the eight
log houses, three barns and Indian
wigwams in exact location of that
early date-which then comprised the
whole architectural habitation of the
village. The painting was created by
our artist according to suggestions
and memory descriptions of Capt.
Cotey. 1t has been reduced to photo
graph by Mcneil and these photos can
be purchased at 40c each by leaving
orders with Mr.. Mcneil or Mr.. La
Breche. George has natural skill in
the fine arts and his paintings have
heretofore attracted considerable at
tention in his home city. He should
be encouraged to hustle liberal edu-
cation along this line. The photos
would prove of valuable assistance to
the reader in connection with Mr..
Cotey'S article which is printed in the

Ownership OF the Old Palace.

The Joint resolution introduced in
Sary to carry out the recommendations in
the governors report that congress be
asked to repeal the section ceding that
building to the territory. Mr.. Fergus
son, through a misrepresentation. had
the clause ceding it added to his school
land bill. and when he learned the stri-
Gus objections to the measure ii was
understood that he would have it re-
pealed at the late short session. No one
wished to have it passed over to The ter
ritory. as its proper preservation is u
source of constant expense. and ii is far
better taken charge of by the United
States. to which it has belonged since
1916. The resolutions in the legislature
are to make it easier to pass the repeal
bill in congress next winter. The sec
ond part of the resolutions embodieS an
excellent idea. 1t is to ask congress to
establish a western department of the
national museum, with headquarters in
the Palace. If this can be carried
through it will be one of the most i'm
portant institutions in the territory,
bringing thousands of tourists every
year, besides causing the expenditure
by the government Of very considerable
sums in caring for and making additions
to the collections
