WINONA, MINN.

The work Of improving the channel of the
Mississippi river at the bad point a mile
above here Is taking much time, but when
completed it is expected thre will be no fur
ther trouble The government dredge is at
work, cutting narrow channel through a
bar some 1,500 feet long, and has gone about
a quarter of the distance. With this channel
started in this manner the current Of the
river will widen it and eventually wash the
bar away. Rivermen here say it has been
years since the channel was in as bad con-
dltion as now, Notwithstanding there has been
lower water on several occasions. This is
probably accounted for by the fact that prac-
tically no river Improvement work was done
last year,, owing to lack Of funds. Another
bad point in the river is opposite La Noble,
where two channels have formed This di-
version from one wide channel makes it diff

The LAW IN THE CASE,
City Solicitors Reasons for Believ-
ing That County Treasurer Must
Pay Over License Money.

County Treasurer j. A. Scranton has
not as yet made a formal reply to the
demand made upon him for the pay
ment of the liquor license money due
the city.
1t was learned yesterday that City
Solicitor WatSOn's contention that the
county treasurer must pay the money
over at once is based on a section of
the ripper" bill. amended by the
Chaser and reading in its amended
form as follows:
"All moneys of the city, received hy
any officer or agent thereof, except
those received by the collector of delin-
quent taxes, the department of law and
police magistrates shall be deposited
daily in the city treasurer"
The city solicitor holds that the
county treasurer is an "agent" of the
city when he collects the liquor license
fees and claims that he has absolutely
no right to hold them even a day after
they are received by him.
The county treasurer's contention has
been that there is an act of assembly
which says that he shall pay the money
over to the city "on or before Septem-
ber' and that under this act he cannot
be obliged to pay it over at once.

TO MOOSIC LAKE
BY The TROLLEY
Burke Brothers Contemplate the Con-
struction Of Road and Crea-
tion Of Summer Road. .,

Timothy and John Burke, Of the firm
of Burke Bros, contractors and direc-
tors in the Scranton Railway company
have entered upon the purchase 'of
Moosc lake, above Mt. Cobb, in Jeffer-
son township. with Il view Of connect
ing it with Scranton by a trolley line
and making it model resort for sum-
mer excursions.
The detailed plans have not as yet
matured, but it is understood that a
large expenditure will be made in sup
plying the lake with the appurtenances
of model excursion resort.
Several possible routes for a trolley
road between Scranton and the lake
have been surveyed from time to time,
in a casual way, and two of them are
deemed very satisfactory. One follows
the Drinker turnpike to Miller's farm
at Elmhurst and then takes the old
Cobb road to Mt. Cobb and the lake.
The other goes up the valley and cuts
across to the lake by way of Birdseye,
or what is more recently known as
Marshwood
a third route was considered at one
time but it. was found to be too eXpen-
sive. This route was by way of the
old gravity road, four of the nine in
tervening planes to be eliminated by
combining two sets Of adjacent planes
into one by filling and cutting. One
of the things which defeated this route
was the fact that the cables would
cost $4,000 to begin with and neces-
state frequent replenishing.
The route by way Of Birdseye is the
one preferred by the promoters of the
new enterprise. 1t is twelve miles in
length and passes for the most part
through a beautiful rustic region.
Moosic lake and 400 acres of land
surrounding it are owned by the Griers
of Danville. They have been anxious
to sell it for a number of years but
no one could be found who would take
it, although it was on the market one
time for $4S,000.

BOWLING.

Last week was an off one in the Ham
pc bowling tournament, very few bowl
ers having taken an active part in the
| contests. This is partly attributable to
the exceedingly warm weather which
has prevailed and partly to the great
great big average made by Billy Hop
kins which the majority of local bowl
ers feel they can't equal or surpass.
Up to last Saturday Hopkins had an
average of 1877 for twenty-four games.
Last week he rolled three more and
pulled this figure up to nearly 19S.
Charlie Moore has finished his thirty
games with an average of 1877. which is
mighty good bowling and far ahead of
anything ever accomplished in either of
the local bowling leagues.
1t is believed that interest in the tour
| nament will pick up this week and that
there will be a lively contest for the
two men and five men team prizes.
This week will witness the closing
of several of the local bowling alleys
though the majority will be kept open
during the hot months to catch the pen
nies of the ''fiends" who don't let a
little thing like hot weather Interfere
pins which has not been played in this
city in many years is to be introduced
at the Hampc alleys as a hot weather
diversion.
1t is played with small squat pins
about one-third the size of the ordinary
pin. Small balls are used and the
game is in other respects exactly like
ten pins. 1t is said that the physical
eXertion required in playing it is not
one-half that required in ordinary
bowling and that player should not
get over heated at it under ordinary
circumstances.
The bowling done by the newly organ
lied Independent team the other night
was the best done in the Scranton lea
gua In month. The highest score
made by any individual bowler was 1872
and there We're no big totals made by
any of the players. Wedeman, who roll
ed such good game with the Green
Ridge wheelmen in the Northeastern
league is member of the team and so

in the city.
