Judge Lochren= has decided the
Anoka light and water cases against
the city Of Anoka, following, as was
expected, his reasoning in the Little
Falls cases. The Anoka Herald
wants the city to appeal. We hope
that can be done, butsin the light. Of
other experience, the Anoka Herald's
belief that the council there will do
icy duty, must be taken with a large
pinch5of salt. Still, there are varieties,
even ID councils. The Anoka paper
says: The city is right in this fight,
and therefore will eventually win the
day, ifit sticks to it, Once before
victory was in it's grasp, but was
lost through the indifference Of those
who should have continued the fight.
The present /, council was elected
with the understanding that the
matter should be settled finally, and
it seems resolved to do it's duty. -

NOT THIS YEAR.
The Building of the Brainerd & Mile
Laos Railroad has been Postponed.

Braiuerd Arena: The proposed
Brainerd & Mile Lacs railroad, the
contemplated construction of which
was exploited by the Arena some
time ago, has been abandoned for
this year.
The gentleman who furnished the
Arena with the information origi-
nally, has recently been in consulta-
tion with the promoters OF the Brain
erd & Mile Lacs and was told by
them that owing to circumstances
oyer which they had no control and
were unforeseen, the econstruction was
postponed but not entirely given
over. -. 49,.
The reason for delay, which: is but
temporary, is accounted for by j. j.
Hills increasing interest in the af-
fairs, Of the Northern Pacific. The
Great Northern has had Mile Laos
road in contemplation north from
Princeton for some years and the
new road in which Northern Pacific
officials are interested would be an
interference in what Jim Hill con-

nothing but the present abandon
