English Guns and Buttons Dug in the
Savannah River.

Two old carronades were fshed up
from the Savannah River by the
dredge Babcock while the deepening
process for the Hutchinsons Island
terminals was in progress. After the
old guns were dug up months ago,
there was some correspondence with
the Smithsonian Institution in regard
TO them, but the Smithsonian wlll not
get the relics. and it seems probable
that they win grace some spot in
Savannah Properly mounted and in
scribed with their history, and the
manner and date Of their recovery.
the guns would prove objects of no
little interest.
1t is believed the hulk from which
the guns were recovered was the
wreck OF the British man-of-war Rose,
which was sunk by the continentals
and the French The exact location of
the wreck could not be ascertained
from the historical accounts, but 1t is
presumed that the hulk demolished by
the dredging force was all that was
left OF the British war vessel. This
belief is siren gthened by the fact that
the carronades are OF the type that
prevailed about that period.
Among the relics that were recov-
cred by the dredge were bottoms that
bear the number OF British regiments
known to have been posted here dur
ing the revolution. W. W, Hegeman.
who was awarded the contract for the
dredging and the wharf work, has

AN EARLY FLOUR MILL.

At Walhalla is a grist mill the date

since which time it has tpeen twice

settlers of Morden, Manitaba used to

mill in 1876 and perhaps in 1875.
The Walhalla Mountaineer says
As far back as 1874 the mill was grind
ing all the wheat raised as far north as
Scratching River in Manitoba, and
from all the known cultivated Lands in
Dakota north of Moorhead. In 1873
another flour mill was established in
Moorhead, but in 1872, when Mayors
mill was first put in, there was not
another mill anywhere in the west.
But to tell of the first mill in the
Dakotas we are forced to go back
still farther, in 1916 or 1S47, when
Father Bellecourt, the Roman Catho-
lie missionary at this place, put in
mill consisting of a very small run
OF stone and run by water power.
While the product Of that mill woula
probably be classed as feed at this
time, in those days it was undoubted-
y considered a luxury and eagerly se-
cured by the rugged frontiersman, as
indeed. prior to then they had been
compelled to carry on their backs or
in small carts all the flour they had
from st. Paul, which would be prohib-
itory to many of the poorer residents,
and this meal, though coarse and
mixed with the husks and chaff, would
prove an agreeable change from the
regular diet of sjerked meat, = buffalo
tongue and boullion. What wonder
ful progressive change has come over
this beautiful country of ours in less

and two conductors, who have been en-
gagged on the Northern Pacific on the
Dakota division, have been let out.
Over half of the men live in this city

Each of tne men has been called in
the Office of Superintendent Wilson
within the past few days and the same
story repeated to each. To the officials
word had come that the men had ac-
cepted money from tourists. This each
and every one denied. It was then that
convincing testimony was shown in the

partments 1T will increase from lay

#ent today are entering the local schools
for the first time, and several certii-
Gates of grade from schools in other
states have been presented.
A few changes have been made in
the books in use in the schools, TO
bring the standard of study higher,
and pupils are busy securing new
books and preparing to take thedr
places in the grades to which they
have been assigned. The school book
establishments are doing a thriving
business during the opening days OF
the terms. y.
The promotions of pupils who have
completed the required work in their
grades were made this morning. The
first day is being taken up with the
assignment Of pupils to grade and the
regular program of school work will
not be taken up until tomorrow.
There are several new teachers in.
the public school force this year, who
come to the board with Ine best recon-
mendations. The other teachers have
already been tried by experience in the
schools here and a successful and pro-
gressive school year is expected.
