In Minnesota there Is picturesque
island that ls uninhabItod by man and
given up TO the cranes. When the In
dlana held full sway these birds decld-
cd upon this spot as a summer resort.
As time went on ana no white man
had the temorlty to disturb them they
became sole owners. until now this
island Is pointed out from passing
boats az one OF the curiosltIea OF the
country.
II Is estimated that 5000 cranes
make there home there In the summer
season. and they can be seen wadlng
out In the water. dueklng their long
necks. and heard emitting n peculiar
uquawk TO warn on lntruders.
Tho nests are made OF very large
sticks and are often the size OF a
bushel basket They are usually built
on some substantial tree. In the years
that have passed since this region was
first settled by white men only one OF
two attempts have been made TO land
on the island. aud these have resulted
diaastrously.

NOTES AND COMMENTS

A dreadful crime is said to have
been committed one night last week
by to Canon boys We do not pre-
sumo to pass upon the guilt of any,
but if what the girl has said is true,
rigorous prosecution should follow.
Such matters should not be hushed up.
The girl and the girls parents owe it
to decency and to the community to
take the matter into court. The only
way the girl can free herself and
family from the great disgrace, is to
prosecute the boys if guilty. In this
state girl is not mistress of herself
until she is eighteen years of age.
The crime is just as great whether
the girl is willing or not. Two or
three crimes of this nature have been
attempted or committed in Canon in
the past few years, and all have been
quieted without prosecution.
District Attorney Pease would serve
the community we'll and bring honor
to himself by seeing that justice is
done in this case. He should not let
a false modesty hush the matte- up.
Did you ever notice how little
without his knowing it: The other
day the editof of The Record found
himself to be "a strong sympathyzer of
Charlie Curtis in the Kansas sena-
torial affair, and was talking in his
favor.
The fact is we have little interest
in Kansas, and We're surprised to find
that we really had u favorite in the
contest. Looking for Il cause We dis
covered that about the only informa-
tion we get on the Kansas question
comes from the Brown County World,
a model country weekly of The Rec
ord class, published at Hiawatha.
Now the World talks of Charlie
Curtis much after the fashion that
Dan De Foe treats Robinson Crusoe.
To the World Curtis is the only man
on the island-the only congressman
on the beach. SO fair, strong. force
full and high toned has been the
Worlds fight for Curtis, that unless
one has a conceived prejudice for
the man, he is almost certainly won to
his side. If the World We're read by
every Republican in Kansas, we be-
lieve that Curtis would be the next
United States senator. Anyway he
owes much of his prominence TO the
