had d long account, with illustra-
tions, of the 'tAuman Toboggan on
Mt. Hood" Oregon. The story is
how Prof. McElfresh Of the Oregon
Agricultural Collage saved the life of
Miss Bethel Rawson. who had beeom
unconscious while climbing the
mount ain: In order to reach the
camp quickly she was strapped face
upward on the professors body,
ropes attached to his feet land the men
hauled him down the steep quickly,
reaching the camp just in time after
q very dangerous descent. Miss
Rawson was critically i'll, but re-
covered, There is a local interest in

Erumor says that running
connectjons will be made
with the 500 at GIenwood, and that
trains will run through to Duluth
via Little Falls and Brainerd. The
plan looks all right,as such arrange
ments will give the 500 a comoeta-
tive route for Head Of Lakes passen-
ger and freight, trade. Orders we're
received, Monday morning, by allthe
section ioremen TO put the track IN
shape for heavy hauling, and gra-
vel train has been at work between
Little Falls ana Glenwood for some
time. Should such an arrangement
be a fact all the towns as far up as
Glenwood will receive the benefits Of
q much better train service than the
makeshift they now have. @
