LAID AT REST.
One of the Oldest Residents of Eagle
River Passes Away.

Mrs. Geo. p Dickinson, Wednesday,,
March 20, aged Al years, two
months, of cancer.
Mrs. Dickinson's maiden name was
Collie G. Jones, and was born in
Evansville, Lake Co., Illinois, Jan.
%, 1854, and was married to Geo. T.
Dickinson Jan. q, 1876. Mr.. and
Mrs. Dickinson came to Eagle River,
while the town was in it's infancy,
eighteen years ago, and have resided
here ever since. Mr.. Dickinson built
one of the first buildings that was
raised on the present town site, where
he conducted a general store. The
deceased was one of those loVable
women who always had a pleasant
word for all, and she will be missed,
not only by the bereayed relatives,
but by the citizens in general. By her
death the husband has lost a loving
help-mate, and the children, whom
she had lived to see honest citizens
and respected by all, will miss a
mothers care and helpfulness.
She leaves to mourn her loss a hus-
band, five sons, Merton, Ralph, Rolly,
Denton and Johnnie and two daugh-
ters, Eugene and Dorothy.
The funeral was held Friday after
noon from the house, the Rev. G. w.
Pinkney officiating, and was attend by
a large number of friends who as
sembled to pay their last tribute to
one whom all loved and respected.
The floral tributes were in profusion.
The News joins with theik many
friends in extending their heartfelt
sympathy to the bereaved family, in
this, their hour of need.

The Dutch are an interesting people.
They are interesting whether seen from
the view point of Motley's Rise of the
Dutch Republic" their maritime and col
onizing exploits or their domestic strug-
giles against the odds of nature. The
Dutch are not a picturesque looking peo-
pie, yet the Netherlands are haunted by
ghosts of mighty events and their his
tory reads like a romance. Hendrix
Hudson, Peter Stuyvesant and Paul Kru-
ger, although separated by centuries and
oceans, were each the unmistakable
product of the Dutch national environ
ment
The Netherlands have been the stage
on which some of the worlds greatest
tragedies have been enacted and today
Holland is. one of the three powers upon
whose domain the sun never sets.
Hemned in between Germany and
France the Netherlands have looked to
the sea for an outlet for the energies
of the people. In the early dawn of
commercial enterprise the flag of the
Netherlands was seen in every port of
the known world. Commerce and colon
ization wisely conducted have made the
Dutch wealthy and respected.
One of the most heroic struggles of the
Dutch has been with the sea. Little by
Iitt1a tho ocaan has hean drivap no III, n ~ Il
made to yield it's fertile territory to the
patient burghers. These, however, re-
mains in the very heart of the low coun-
try the Zuyder Zee, a shallow arm of
the sea covering about 100000 acres of
land. Across the neck of the Zuyder Zee
from Wieringen to Piarn distance of
about fifteen miles, will be built a huge
dyke to prevent the thrush of the tide.
This dyke will be provided with sluices
to allow the drainage of the water at low
tide, after which they wild be closed to
the sea. portion only of the Zuyder
Zee will be drained and pumped out at
first. The remainder is to be turned into
fresh water lake fed by the Yssel and
Vect rivers.
The cost of 1reclaiming this land will
be in the vicinity of $3.50 per acre. The
work is to be undertaken by company
with the backing of the government
Across the great dyke will be built a
railroad from North, Holland to Fries
land, saving distance of 200 miles, a
decided item when time enters into the
proposition
To him who is DESTROYS of drawing a
moral, this war against the ocean de-
cIared by Holland will furnish food for
remarks-remarks that may not be COM
plimentary to the methods adopted by the
great powers of the world for charging
their territory.

BILL WAS DISAPPOINTED.

Hill City Is. d. Cor. Chicago Chronicle.
The most disappointed citizen of South
Dakota today is "Bnr' Austin, the feed
store man. His metropolitan name is
William, and if they had let him do what
he wanted to do he would have been the
richest man in South Dakota today
When he wrote to about sixty brokers
in New York and Chicago telling them to
sell $4,000 bushels Of corn for him on a
falling market they Immediately wired
TO his bank in Omaha, and discovered he
had about $1,000 on deposit to cover a
possible loss Of about s1,O00,OO0 His con-
fidence in human nature was then shat
tered. 1t probably cost the brokers as
much as $116 or Sill in kilograms, while.
If they had done as he asked them, Aus
tin says they would have had their com
missions this morning, and he could have
put cupola on his feed store.
Austin discussed his recent attempted
coup at length today, in the course Of
which he said: Opportunity Knocked at
my door, and I caught her by the hand
and held on as long as I could. But
those grafters in New York and Chicago
thinking that all men are dishonest, made
me release my grip. Instead of being to
the good on the sale of 400,0 bushels of
corn in New York and many more mil
lions in Chicago. I'm out about S13O in
postage stamps, and have got the writer
cramp."

1t seems is the highest type of airship
yet constructed, while manageable in
calm air, became uncomfortable in
slight breeze. What would happen with
such monster in gale can be mag
med. The old sailing vessel was so con-
structed that by taking advantage of the
law of the parallelogram of forces by
the position of it's sails and the action
of it's keel, the force of the wind was
utilized, even when it blew in direct op-
position to the vessels course. But no
keel or sail can hold the great gas bal
looms against the slightest summer
zephyr
If the force of gravity could be over
come without presenting such an
enormous surface to the action of the
wind, the problem might be worked. but
under the present system of natural laws
it is fully as practical and equally as en-
PERTAINING to work on the problem of per-
petual motion as on that of aerial navt-
cation.
Ordinary ballooning may be brought to
the point where it can be used with a. de-
gree of safety in accomplishing long
journeys under the actions of a favor
able and constant air current. The ques-
ton of aerial naviga ion then will become
matter of knowledge of air currents.
The scientific explanation of the soaring
OF the vulture, the eagle and other large
birds while guessed at by many, will re
main secret with the birds until they
choose to make it public by other means
than public exhibitions of their skill. In
the meantime man might as well content
himself with terrestrial navigation.
Some of us may have wings in time, but
we will nave to be in different atmos-
phere if they are to be used for anything
but ornament

CITY FUNDS FOR COUNTY ROADS.
The published opinion of the county at
tCrney that the funds available for the
construction and repair of county roads
cannot be used to any extent whatever in
connection with the maintenance or i'm
provement of the connecting roads and
streets within the city limits may be &C
| cepted as representing the existing con-
dltion of the law on the subject
1t is not just or reasonable condi-
ton which is thus operative. The taxes
from which these funds are made avail
able are paid in vastly larger proportion
| by the residents of the city. 1t is in
equitable in the highest degree that
these moneys should not be available for
| city uses in any measure whatever; while
the proceeds of the taxation of the resi-
dents of the city are thus made to bear
so large proportion of the cost of
county improvements.
AS long as so contracted a view of the
relations Of city and county is maintained,
and the residents of the city are thus tax
! cd for county Improvement without any
! corresponding advantage derived by
them in the transaction, the future of
! the good roads movement in this vicin
| ity cannot be regarded as especially hope
tul
How gross the inequality and injustice of
| the situation is, is made much more palpa-
ble when one reflects that immediate ben
efits thus derived from the moneys thus
taken out Of the pockets of the residents
| OF this city for the Improvement of coun-
| ty roads are in great measure bestowed
| on other communities. 1t is universally
| agreed that the trade of the country dis
tricts within the county is being stead
lily diverted in favor of Minneapolis.
| No one has as yet been found who will
say that anything whatever is being done
| by county officials to promote the move
n'ent of county trade toward this city.
| The sign boards on the county roads seem
| to be maintained for the benefit Of Min
neapolis trade; while the sections of road
| which are within the city limits connect
Ing with the county roads are agreed to
| be generally in such condition as to dis
courage traffic on them. To declare I'M
der such conditions that none of the mon
| ey raised by common taxation and de-
voted to the county roads shall be used
on thoroughfares within the city limits
is an absurdity and a wrong
| The sooner this condition of the law is
changed the better for both city and
county Changed it must be unless a
well defined public grievance is allowed
to continue.
In a greater degree we see the city
| placed at corresponding disadvantage
with reference to the rest of the state.
We will refer only to a single instance
Of such injustice, as represented by the
law passed which brings certain corpora
tons, existing solely within the CITY
limits, under the operation of the gross
| earnings tax, and which results in hand
] ing the proceeds of such taxation wholly
