C.. C. Woodward Back From
Koochiching With In
teresting Story.
QUESTIONS INVOLVED INWATER
POWER NOT sETElL he E Q
Final Agreement Will Not be
Signed Until Fifteenth of
Present Month.

G.. c.. Woodward returned this
morning from his trip to Koochi
ching and the Big Fork country
Mr.. Woodward says that while al
Koochiching he learned upon
what he believes to be the most
reliable authority that the agree
ment settling the questions which
were in controversy regarding
the water power has not yet
been reached and that the an.
nouncement that everything was
satisfactorily adjusted was pre-
mature.
There is but little question
that the agreement will be
brought to satisfac tory conclu-
sion, but the matter held up
until the fifteenth Of the present
month pending the fixing up of
some minor differences. At
Koochiching when the announce
ment was made that the matter
was settled there was the great
est good feeling. The saloons
were thrown open, everything
was free and the populace fell on
one another's neck in an .exuber-
ance of spirits. Their ardor was
somewhat dampened, However,
when it was learned that the
matter was still unsettled.
From the toWnsite people and
business men generally, many Of
whom are old friends of Mr..
Woodward, he learned a number
Of interesting things. The future
of the town is assured beyond
the question of a doubt and it is
surely destined some day to be
the best town in the northern
section of the state, but its devel-
opment depends entirely upon
the coming of the railroads and
the development of its resources.
which are naturally the best in
this section. The town is at
present in a thriving condition
and hundreds of inquiries are re-
ceived daily from all over the
country regarding openings in
business lines and asking for all
sorts of information.
The coming of the railroads is
at present all important and it
seems at the present time alto
gether improbable that the Great
Northern or the Minnesota & In.
ternational will reach the town
during the next year.
Mr.. Woodward was one of a
party that left Northome week
ago this morning, chaperoned by
Landlord Willis Brannon, of the
Hotel Itasca. They drove over
the big winter road, a distance Of
over two hundred miles, on the
trip. Favorable weather made
the trip an ideal one Mr.. Wood
ward says the winter road has as
much travel on it at present as
any highway in the state. At
Joyce's half way house yesterday
there were sixty guests for din
mr.. The day before, Saturday,
the host was compelled to send
ten men away without dinner,
having been literally eaten out Of
house and home. The party also
stop ed at Big Falls and met
Senator Swedback on the road
goil in. Big Falls TOWNSHIP is
one the finest in that country
Mr.. Woodward says, and is surely
desti ed some day to be a good
town
There is the greatest ia
teres in the lands that are te
be ned for settlement, at the
Dul and Office tomorrow, anC

Limit Of Financial Embarrassment
HumotousIy Described:

E'uWOFOUSiy DeSCrIDeo:
Two society women were talking to-
gether few days ago, each having
run up to town on some important
business matter. They were sitting
in the station waiting for the special
Long Island train on which each was
to make her return home.
The first to speak was a large, flor
id, handsome blonde, who, hurrying
into the waiting room, was accom-
panied by her maid laden up to the
skies with bundles of every kind, sort
and description. Noting her friend
already seated and absolutely bundle
less, she at once began her discourse,
volubly extolling the charms and
amazing cheapness of some of the
midsummer bargains of which, as the
maid bore ample evidence, she had so
plentifully availed herself.
The bundleless one. listened in rath-
er pathetic silence until the first full
period. Taking advantage of it with
a deep, pathetic sigh, she turned and
gazed covetously at her friends spoils

"Yes-but you said"

"But afterward l found it was what

light.

BLOOD WILL TELL
A THEORY SUPPORTED BY FRESH.
CONCLUSIVE EVIDENCE.
"A Recent Instance Proves That .
Woman's Happiness is Largely De-
pendent on the State Of Her Blood.

When the blood is disordered every
organ OF the body is affected unfavor-
ably and fails to discharge it's func-
tiors properly. In the case of every
woman nature has made special pro-
vision for periodical publication OF
the blood, and SO long as this occurs
her health and spirits unfailingly re-
veal the beneficial results. So slight
cause as a cold or a nervous shock
may produce a suppression Of, this
vital function, and Until it is restored
she is doomed to misery. The remedy
that has proved most prompt and
effective in all disorders peculiar to
the female sex is that which brought
such great relief to Miss Mattie
Griggs, of No. S07 Indiana street, Law
renee, Kansas, concerning which she
speaks as follows:
In the winter of 1902, from some
unknown cause, there was a cessation
of functions peculiar to my sex for a
period of four months. l became very
weak and could not get up stairs
without help. had nausea and pain
and constant headache I was un-
der the care of a physician for three
months, but he did not succeed in cur
ing me. Then a lady friend told mo
about the merits of Dr. Williams Pink
Pills which she had used in her fam
lily, and she induced me to try them.
1t was in May when I first began
to use them, and in June I had fully
recovered my health, and have since
remained perfectly WELL"
