A Fast Locomotive.

Batavia has been trying the Amer.
lean locomotive, and likes it, all ex'
cept its ''unearthly screech." Our en-.
gines are somewhat vociferous, but
they need to be, in order to give fair
warning of their swift approach. II
was an American engineer who told
of the exploit of locomotive of which
he once had charge-that it ran so fast
that it reached the station ahead OF
the sound of it's whistle, which came
along a second or two after the traiu
had stopped.-Troy Times. -.

= KOOCHICHINGI =
Extracts from the Koochiching
Border Budget Of Aug. II, 1902:

ION Wednesday of last week Messrs.
lockwood, Backus Trumer, Cook, McCrca
and Nutter, representing the Koochiching
Townsite Company, arrived at this place
and spent some time looking over their in
terests here.
Mr.. lockwood and associates have Ia
bored diligently during the past seven or
eight years to interest people of means in
the development Of the water power at this
place and have at last succeeded, the only
obstacle in the way now being the consent
of the Ontario government to allow them to
develop the power.
1t is estimated that upwards of 81, 100000
will be expended on the water power within
the next two years, in building dam, pulp
and paper mills md saw mills; in fact it is
stated that one of the largest and best equip
ped saw mills in Minnesota will be built at
Koochiching.
Mr.. Backus is prominent lumberman
of Minneapolis. He stated that between five
and six million dollars would be expended
in building the railroad, developing the wa
ter power and building mills at this place
and Fort Frances
Everything at present goes to show that
something is going to be done at once and
comes as good news to many who have spent
the past seven or eight years here, none of
them, however, wavering the least in their
opinion that Koochiching would one day be-
what has long been prophesied one of the
largest manufacturing centers in Minnesota"
