Some Curious Relics.

Our venerabl friend, Richard Da-
Wis, Esq. Of Bristol, made US a pleas
ant visit Tuesday. Mr.. Davis had
with him a copy of 1.-THE Civilian" a
newspaper published by S. Charles in
Cumberland, Nd, in March, 1929,
This paper is over 70 years old but is
in a good state of preservation. II
contains General Andrew Jackson's
inaugural address. Mr.. Davis also
showed us a piece Of paper money is
sued by the British government In
1777: 1t was an eighth dollar piece
and but few Of the kind exist. He
nrIzes the relics highly and they are
both quite interesting because of their
antiquity, Mr.. Davis was IS years OF
age May 9, and wanted to walk u
Clarksburg that day but his wife
| would not agree to it. He believes he
could have made the trip all right.

What the new Railroad Means.
Its Soil. River & Prospects.

Nothing but personal inspec-
ton with your own eyes can
give any idea Of the vast wealth
now lying in primeyial Wanton-
ness in Beltrami and Itasca
county. The tongue Of men who
have penetrated the wilderness
cannot be depended upon to give
adequate viyidness to conditions
as promising as they are, for
eyes alone can bring the picture
home. And nothing but the
building Of a railroad into this
territory can develope it. The
countless deserted log shanties
built long ago BY pioneers speak
loudly Of lopment retarded
only by the lack Of the iron horse.

lack Of township organization has
prevented the building Of roads
fit for other than winter use.
Such as they were, they permit
ted homesteaders to carry IN
supplies, but allowed practically
no traffic. The air Of isolation
was enough to kill the spirit Of
the most rabid hermit. Those
who took claims, only stayed
long enough to make the most
necessary improvements and
establish a shadow ola residence.
Then they packed their furniture
upon their backs and footed their
way back to civilization, where
they no doubt sold their claims

The best land for this purpose
appears to lie along the high lands
and river bottoms where the
hard dwood is in preponderance.
But with a, little drainage nearly
every foot Of this territory will
be most useful for farming. We
saw hundreds of acres Of meadow
lands with hard bottom and Gov
cred with blue joint. These
meadows seem all to be ready for

without any draining on prepar-
atory labor by man. The tracts
/ of poor lands are far between and
are covered with ta1narack and
blackjack. The soil even in these
ARE much richer than IN similar
tracts further south, due to the
large amount Of water and soil
drifted in from richer sources.

Fire Department Makes a Run Far
Beyond City Limits.


The fire department was called Sat-
urday for a fire three blocks southeast
Of the city limits
The alarm was received by telephone
and was badly mixed. When the de-
partment reached the end of the water
service Chief Wilmarth ordered the
chemical engine from headquarters to
go on to the fire which was supposed 10
be in the Crittenden home. The fire was
in a barn belonging to w E. Anderson
and worth perhaps 5000 with $50 IN
surance- When the chemical engine
struck the muddy country roads it was
more than the two horses could do 70
pull the heavy apparatus through tie
mud A farmer unhitched his team
from his wagon and put his horses an
the engine. The four horses pulled the
engine tc the fire and back to the pave
ments. The order was given for the
chemical engine to go on as the alarm
was given that the fire was in the home
in the old Quinton homestead The fire
was thought to be Of fncendiary origin
Yesterday afternoon the department
was called to Second and Buchanan
