SHELLS ARE SOLD.
Minikahda Club Lets Racing Shells
Go to Minnesota Boat Club
for $500.
Old Lurline Club Members Disap-
pointed at Action Of Mini
kahda Officials.

In spite of the protests of the old
members Of the Lurline Boat club the
directors of the Minikahda club have sold
to the Minnesota Boat club of st. Paul.
three four cared and three single paired
shells for about $500.
The property originally cost over three
times that amount and was given gratis
to the Minikahda club with the under
standing. that the Minikahda. boat house
should be used to store the property,
against the time when racing should re-
vive in the northwest.
The Minnesota Boat club the old time
riva lof the Lurlines, now owns the
greater part OF the old Lurline outfit.
The Winnipeg Boat club has borrowed
from the st. Paul club one of the four
cared shells to use in the national re-
gatta next week. The Saltwater Boat
club has also asked for a price on the
remaining four cared boat, formerly
owned by the Lurline club, and if the
Minikahda club sells this 1t will finally
dispose Of the old plant, which brought
the Lurlines 50 much fame.
Members Of the Lurline club are sharp
ly disappointed by the sale. The Mini
kahda men, on the other hand, say that
the boats are not being properly cared
for where they are; that racing will not
revive in this city for many years. and
| that when it does it will be time to buy
new boats.

MOUNTING THISSURGERY
The Bone-Setter, at Hudson, Wiscon.
sin, Cures Cripples and Deforma-
ties With His Bare Hands.

In no case does DR.. Arons use the knife,
the wrongs Of cripples and deformities
with his bare hands, and without the least
pain to the patient In any case. Neither
does, he give an anaesthetic nor use a
plaster cast.
1t is all skill, pure and simple.
When one considers what he has done
for cripples who have gone to him, at
Hudson, and what he is doing for them ev-
cry day. Is certainly remarkable
There is no question about his doing
this work, and in very many instances It
Is far greater than any done in this coun-
try by Dr. Lorenz, the noted Austrian
surgeon:
1t is no wonder that cripples from
every section of the United States are
seeking his services early and late. When
their friends and relatives are cured by
him, their wrong righted so that they are
cripples no more, the news spreads and
runs like wildfire, and they keep going to
Hudson Five and six hacks from the
depot roll up to his lovely office home,
Rose Villa with each incoming pas
senger train, all filled with cripples. They
are coming and going all day long, from
early In the morning and till late at night.
Confidence, One does not have to have
any confidence. When they go to Hudson
and meet and see and talk with patients
who were cripples nearly all their lives
and who are cripples no more, that is GER
tainly enough.
Where he cannot help a cripple he Is
frank to say So. But before going to Hud-
son it is hest to write him, say how you
are crippled, and he will say, when he car
see you.

.RlAILROA
G. I. P. OFFICIAL MAPS,
They Show 9,432 Miles Of Track In
Guiding Proposed nes-Efect
on U. S. Lines.

Official maps Of the proposed Grand
Trunk Pacific lines, which have reached
local railroad people, give an excellent
idea Of the size of the future foe of the
Canadian Pacific. The maps are issued
for the benefit Of Grand Trunk officials
and stockholders and show all the rail.
roads In the northern part of the United
States and in Canada.
The Grand Trunk Pacific, when COM
pleted. will extend from coast to coast.
with open Canadian ports on each coast.
The new main line will be $500 miles
long, and the new branch lines 1880 miles
long. The old Grand Trunk line and pro-
prietary lines are 1882 miles long, giving
a total mileage Of 94S2 miles Branches
are to be constructed tapping Canadian
Pacific territory at various points. and
when the system is once completed there
will probably be lively fight for the con-
troll Of the dominion trade.
Commenting on the effect Of the con-
struction Of the new system an executive
officer Of one of the northern coast lines
said yesterday:
"It cannot, hurt the northern American
coast lines, because we reach into Cana
dian territory only on the Pacific coast,
and there our Canadian territory is very
| small. 1t will, however, affect the bust
ness Of eastern lines, because of the fact
that the Grand Trunk Pacific is from the
ground up a Canadian line. It is built for
the purpose of developing Canada for Ca
nadtans and no others. One Of the pro-
visions Of the government is that it shall
be independent of the United States on
the Atlantic seaboard and shall have a
winter port. Every ton Of freight it can
haul to an Atlantic export point will be
hauled thru Canada to a Canadian city.
"The Grand Trunk Pacific has an en-
trance to every important Canadian Pa
cific point. There is every indication o1
a prolonged and bitter fight for control o!
the dominion between the two systems"
