A Surprise.

Mrs. 2. G. Peterson, formerly, Miss
Jennie Pearson, OF Vega, was pleas
antly surprised by her many friends
and former pupils last Sunday after
aoon. Mrs. Peterson was for years
teacher in the district school, and
was very well liked both by pupils and
school board. AS her former pupils
learned that she intended to leave
her home among the friends OF her
youth and take up her abode in an
other place with her husband, de-
cided to remind her of former rela-
lions by making a farewell call in
this manner.
They all arrived at her home in
one body, and spent the afternoon
enjoying themselves SO much so in
fact, that they did not notice the
threatening clouds that arose, and
not before rain began pouring down,
did they notice that they were
caught.
The rain did not cease, and they
were obliged to remain at the place
over night. All parties there will
dong remember this occasion.
Mr.. and Mrs. Peterson intend
shortly to leave for Moose Lake,
where the gro ON is established.

UNIQUE DITCH.
The Lost River Drainage Ditch Was
Carved Out With Hay Knives
and PitchfOrks.

and PitchfOrks.
Engineer George A. Ralph is in ST..
Paul attending a meeting OF the
state drainage board. Yesterday he
reported to the board concerning
the construction OF the Lost River
! ditch in Red Lake county. The
ditch is one OF the most peculiar
drainage canals ever dug 1t was
cut through a floating bog, the work
being done with hay knives and
pitch forks and is unique in the
northwest.
A crew Of men was set to work to
cut a passage through the bog with
knives, the sod then being fioated to
one side and thrown out upon the
banks with pitchforks. Since the
channel has been cut, large areas OF
the bog have dried up and land that
was an impossible marsh is now un-
der cultivation.
A large force OF men was required
but the work was rapid Since the
completion OF the ditch, the rush OF
water down the channel has made it
much deeper than was originally
planned and this erosion will soon
make the ditch large enough to take
care OF any food.
Bids for the proposed Gun river
ditch in Aitkin county were deemed
too high and were all rejected. This
ditch will drain about 20, 900 acres
Of land and will he about five miles
long. 1t will probably cost about
$4,000 and four-ffths OF the land
benefited now belongs to the state.
The contract for the Yeager lake
ditch in Wadena county was let to
John Kohler at LIZ cents per cubic
yard.

Of the state was not with them. He was

The Mountain Goat a stupid Animal

Although the mountain goat is very
sure footed and level headed animal, he
is said by those who have hunted him
(of whom confess am not one) to be
very stupid animal and easily killed
when once the hunter reaches his
haunts. In actual weight he is about the
size Of the Virginia deer, but in bulk he
seems to be larger because Of his shaggy
fleece Of wool and hair. The horns are
small, smooth and jet black, and the
hoof is strange combination Of rubber
pad on the inside and knife edge on the
outside, to hold the owner on snow, ice
or bare rock without slipping. W. T.
Hornaday in ST. Nicholas.
