Great Northern Promotions.

The promotion of two former Will.
marites in the service of the Great
Northern, who are now located at
Grand Forks, comes as a pleasant
piece of news to their friends in this
city. Geo. 81. Pietsch now holds the
position at that place vacated by A.
M. Deverell, who succeeds M. Welch
here as chief dispatcher, and c. b.
Zealand is promoted to first trick as
operator.
Mr.. Welch, whose resignation as
chief dispatcher here was effective the
first of the month, may take a similar
position on the Rock Island railway,
in the service of which several other
we1l-known railroad men here have
entered. He has been spending the
present week at Duluth with his broth
or, and later will probably leave on a
trip to Colorado.

library Board NsutinR,


A meeting of the library board was
held on Tuesday afternoon at the Of
fee OF President Tallman, and many
matters were attended to regarding
the new library building which is now
in course Of construction. Olson &
Skoolheim, the building contractors,
were allowed $3 coo as part payment
on their contract and the architect 9
bill was allowed in full. = The above
was paid out of tho amount received
by City Treasurer Ramsett from Mr..
Carnegie q short time ago, check
for S3, 500 having been remitted. Con-
tractor Andrew Bjorsellwas appointed
to have supervision of the construc-
tion work on the building. The nec-
essary racks for holding the books
were purchased at cost of $3.50, the
number OF volumes which they will
hold being three thousand, and they
are so constructed that they can be
added to rs the occasion demands.
The balance of Mr.. Carnegie's gift
will be received as the work pro-
crosses. It is expected that the build
ing will be completed by December Is.
Much delay has been caused up to the
present time both on account of un-
favorable weather and necessary
changes in building material.

jumped the Track.

Some excitement was caused in the
railroad yards here Thursday evening
BY the derailment of five box cars,
while being switched on one of the
sidetrecks. The track was somewhat
tornup for several yards, but was
put in shape in short order by the
working crew after the cars were
sgain put on the track. The noise
caused by the heavy cars leaving the
tracks and being dragged over the
ties attracted quite number of our
people down to the scene OF the
accident, who feared that . more
serious accident had taken place.
The exact cause Of the accident could
not be ascertained, but it was thought
to be due to 3 misplaced switch.

respectively; livery stable, by Geo.
Wilson and Phi. Downs; matchmaker

William Nelson; two temperance sa-
looms, by Otto Ronning and Chas.
Benson; lumber yard, by George Holt;
a boat works, also owned by George
Holt. This latter institution employs
two or three men in the busy season
and some fine craft have been built
there. The fame of Green Lake as q
summer resort makes Spicer particu-
larly lively during the lake season.
1t is to be regretted that the village
was so plated as to make private
property of practically the whole lake
front of the town, thus restraining the
public from free access 20 the lake.
Our artist attempted to take some
views, including one of the school
house with q group of the teachers
and children.
We paid visit to the Rev. J. S.
Halverson to secure more complete
notes regarding the churches of the
Hauge's Synod, located in the north
part of the county.
We had interesting interviews with
Messrs. P. 81. Parsons and James
Hart, both among the first settlers of
the county. Forty-four years ago Mr..
Parsons conducted q hotel on the
other side of the lake, at the old town
site of Irving. The lake was first
known on that side as Carrelian Lake.
The hotel building, built there by the
townsite company, was perhaps the
largest building erected in the county
before the outbreak. It was burned
by the Indians. Where the village of
Spicer now stands the townsite of Co.
lumbia was laid out away back in the
ifties. Its promoters dreamed of a
future great city, to become the CAPT.
tai if not the metropolis of the state.
The building of the St. Paul & Pacific
railway so far south was the death
blow to the first attempt of building a
city here.
We had intended to continue our
work in this vicinity and into the
township of Harrison, but the persist.
ent rains drove US to our home, where
we will remain until there has been q
decided change for the better in the
weather and condition of roads.
In the first installment of this ar.
ticle, we mentioned the loss by wolves
of valuable eve, the property of J.
J. Henderson. A lapse of mind caused
US to write Merino instead of Shrop-
shire in mentioning the breed of the
animal.
Green Lake is one of the most i'm.

has q larger population than any

heavy vote in the elections. The pop

Norwegian and Irish nationalities
constituting the main portion of the
same. The surface of the township
includes about two square miles of the
lake the name of which it bears. The
larger portion of Eagle Lake lies ir
