NEN ROAD Laid OUT.
ST. Louis People Put Up Strong
Protest Against the Propo-
Sition, But Alma Won
Out.

| "A snort time ago petition was circu-
lated and generally signed by the resi-
dents OF Alma and in Pine River and
Arcadia townships to have the road on
the township line between Pine River
and Arcadia, bordering Alma on the east,
opened for public use. Owners of prop
erty on each side of the line have been
plating it into lots and number of
residences have been built in that local
lty during the past two years, but thsy
street being opened up, and as it was a
township road the farmers living north
OF town We're interested also. The petit
ton was presented to the highway com.
missioners of both townships some time
ago, but owing TO the efforts of several
residents Of st. Louis, the matter has
been delayed until last week when a
meeting was held and the roa laid out,
although it 10 not expected that it will
be built until next spring. The road
crosses the river south of the Job Sleight
farm and runs along the east corpora
tion limits of Alma TO the road running
straight east from Superior st where it
connects with the road running towards
Ithaca
By the opening of this road the
farmers living north of Mr.. Sleight's
farm will be enabled to save consider
able haul in delivering beets to the
sugar factory and they will be enabled
TO avoid the deep sand OF the river road
as used at present. 1t will also be q
great advantage TO them in many other
ways and will be the means of many
coming to Alma to do their trading in
stead Of going to st. Louis as they do
under present conditions. The opposi-
ton to the proposition was chiefly on
this account.

any form and does not know the taste
OF Intoxicating liquors. His wind is
perfect, as was evidenced at one time
when he wrestled for three and one
half hours, the match being declared a
draw He is quiet, unassuming fell
low, quite the reverse of what might be
expected OF professional wrestler. He
does not boast of his BROWNIES and above
all he has the reputation OF being one of
the squarest wrestlers in the business.
he never fakes" match. and any
time he goes on the mat, the crowd can
rest assured that the best man will win.
MIR. Reakes has figured In over 300
matches, always takes the aggres-
slve from the start and is never on the
defensive long. His most effective hold
Is the hammer lock and he has used it
effectively on some of the heaviest
wrestlers IN the country. 1t consists OF
twisting the arm until the force and the
pain causes his opponent TO turn over so
two shoulders are pinned to the mat.
He is equally well versed in the Nelson
holds, the crotch locks, and there is no
trick known TO wrestlers III which he is
not conversant He has large hand
and exceptionally strong arm, and once
he fastens his man with the deadly ham
mer lock, a fall or broken arm is al.
most sure to result. He is equally adept
at tripping and gains many flying falls
by his quickness.
Men who hope to prolong a match
with him by attempting to stay on their
feet, are suddenly thrown to the floor
with force sufficient to almost crush
the life out of their bodies. His muscles
are hardened by constant use and it is
almost impossible to get grip on any
portion of his anatomy.
Mr.. Reakes was one Of the partici-
pants in the congress OF wrestlers held
in Boston few years ago, and during
that carnival he won everything in his
class.

CLIMATIC CURES.

The influence of climatic conditions
in the cure of consumptiouisvery much
overdrawn. The poor patient, and the
rich patient, too, can do much better at
home by proper attention to food diges-
ton, and a regular use of German Syrup.
Free expectoration in the morning is
made certain by German Syrup, so is a
good nights rest and the absence of
weaking cough and debilitating night
sweat. Restless nights and the exhaus.
ton due to coughing, the greatest dan.
ger and dread Of the consumptive, can
be preventive or stopped by taking Ger.
man Syrup literally and regularly.
Should you be able to go to a warmer
cline, you will find that thousands of
consumptives there, the few who are
benefited and regain strength are those
who use German Syrup. Trial bottles,

one.half miles northeast from Mullan.
The Alma occupies choice location in
the great Morning-Hunter lead silver
zone and is considered by reputable
mining men to be one of the most val
liable virgin properties in the entire
Occur d. Alenes. AS the ground of the
Alma covers a large portion of the east
extension of the richly mineralized
lodges that have made the Hunter and
Morning two of the districts big divi-
dend earners there is ample reason for
predicting that with proper develop
ment the Alma will become worthy
rival of its two illustrious neighbors,
now valued at four million dollars. The
company's initial development will be
to run a 600 foot crosscut tunnel, which
will tap the Hunter ledge $50 feet below
the outcrop, at sufficient depth to fur
nish the company considerable quaint

only a mile from the Northern Pacific
railroad and its product will be handled
