DESCH ON THE SWANVILLE
GOLD FIELDS.

Morris Tribune: Conductor Fred
Desch owns some land adjoining the
land where it is said that gold has
been found south of Swanville. In an
swer to quee ton as to whether the
stories coming from there were "aIl
no: air, partly hot air and partly
truth, or all TRUTH he said that
they certainly have some good samples
of ore over there. and that there was
no doubt about the favorable reports
of the assayists. He said he had no
absolute proof, that the sample came
from those hills, but he believed they
did. Experts have reported that the
few samples which had been picked
up were only float ore, and did not
prove that there were extensive de-
posits in the neighborhood, and that
it would be necessary to find ledge
of gold bearing rock to have anything
valuable. The Swanville people now
claim that ledge has been diecov-

I. P. WANTS THE GOLD
To Investigate the Swa n
Vile Discovery Before
Selling Land

We made note of the fact last week
that the Northern Pacific had taken
their lands out OF the market. says
the Long Prairie Leader. The road
gave as its reason the fact that there
was necessity for checking up the
department and the lands were taken
from the market In order to stop the
business for short time and facili-
tate the check up. It now appears
that the real reason for the action is
that the company wants to investi-
gate the gold discoveries at Swanville
before they sell any more land. The
company owns most of the unsold
lands In the eastern part of the county
and If they contain minerals they are
too good property to sell. A short
time ago certain farmer in Bruce
sent a draft to the company to cover
the first payment on some Of the land.
The company returned the draft stat
ing that the lands were not in the
market. The gentleman wrote again
and the company wrote back that
they would sell him the land if he
would consent that the deed contain
q clause that the company were to
retain all interest in whatever miner
ais might be found on the lands In
other words the lands are out of the
market but will be sold with the
mineral clause added to the deed.
The company have an expert examin-
ing the land in quiet way and the
removal of the lands from the market
indicates that they are confident that
there is some truth in the gold stories.

A KISS AT PARTING
DARING MAN CLAIMED PAYMENT
FROM BEAUTY.
Time for Improving on Acquaintance
ship Was Short, But He Made the
Best of it-ThouahtfuI in His Last
Farewell.

A true story that could be easily
done into fiction is this one OF a hap
pening at the Grand Central depot
last week
It might be called THE Man Who
Dared" or Trunks and Trining." or
Baggage and Badinage," or perhaps
Checks and Cheek wouldn't he an
inappropriate ALTERATION, II you insist
upon ALTERATION, but, anyway, and
whatever its title when done into fic-
ton. this is a true tale. though 1t shall
be nameless and though its hero and
heroine must for very obvious reasons
remain unnamed.
Just by way of explanation, 1t may
be said that the hero is a man promi.
nent in society and professionally, and
is noted for his wit and daring, which
latter quality is invariably forgiven on
account of the former.
The heroine is very pretty woman.
whose name you would know, too.
should 1t be told to you. She was
leaving Cincinnati by the evening
train for the east. and she happened.
for good and sufficient reasons to be
alone. He had run down to the sta
ton to check the baggage of his wife
and family, who were leaving on the
early train next morning. They didn't
know each other, but he had admired
her from afar. and she knew him by
sight and through mutual friends.
She was alone in the baggage room
identifying trunks when he came in.
and, looking up. she caught his eyes
and in her preoccupatlon it wasn't an
unnatural thing at all that she forgot
she had net been through the formal
ity of previous acquaintance, and
smiled frankly into his eyes And IL
you knew the man you wouldn't think
II unnatural for him to lose no time
in going straight across those trunks,
grasping her hand and beginning a
one-sided conversation so clever that
the most dignified woman in the world
couldn't help being fascinated IL she
| had any appreciation at all of the rare
good things in life. Tho time was
short, but he made the most of 1t.
Her confusion made her helpless. He
took her tickets, checked her trunks.
and led her to her car, all the while
preserving the most devotional atti-
tude, and all the while INDUCING in a
running fire of wit, compliments and a
daring badinage in two or three Ian
guages, which. by the way, sho is
equal to as well as he. She was fin
ally on the steps of her Pullman, and
the signal to start had been given
when he said In the irresistible rush
of words characteristic of the man:
Now. don't cry out or do anything
rash. but I'm going to kiss you good
by"
He did exactly as he said he would
and as the train drew out with the
breathless woman standing on the
platform, he called out as he waved
his hand: give my love to all the
folks" thoughtful to the last. His
example in this particular. of course,
is not cited for young men to follow.
although in more than one instance
he has been held up to them as being
all that a man should be.-Cin rinnati

package of seeds. He desired a good,

GO OUT TOGETHER.

November and the last of the
great centennials will go out
together, and there remain only
the Lewis and Clark EXPOSE
ton at Portland, Oregon, and
the centennial of the settlement
of Jamestown, Va. The latter
is a matter largely connected
with sentiment sentiment
that is to be at all times re-
spected and encouraged, for a
country forgetting its traditions
and the sentiments attaching
to them is on the verge of de-
cay.
The Lewis and Clark Expo
sition is a matter largely bas-
ed on sentiment, but much
more largely based on business.
1t will open in the summer of
1905 and continue with open
gates for four and one-half
months, in a magnificent expo
sition of the wonders of the
great Northwest and the Pa
cific Coast, with appropriate
membranes and relics of the
two great explorers and pio-
neerS. Because their work
pointed to the future so strong
ly the managers of the enter
prise call the exposition the
"Oriental Fair" and an Orien-
tai fair it will be. Japan and
China and the Philippines will
be represented in all depart
ments of trade and commerce,
and the manufactured fabrics
for which the Orient is famed.
There is no politics in the
fair, and there will be none.
Nevertheless, it cannot be
overlooked that the American
people have recorded their en-
phatic belief in Manifest Desti-
ny, with the influence and the
trade and the commerce of the
United States not confined to
the American contenent, but
girding the globe to the bene-
fit of mankind. For these rea-
sons the Oriental Fair will ap-
peal to the whole country, for
the whole country is turning it's
face not alone to the west, but
passing beyond the west and
meeting the east for the worlds
trade.
1t will be a great fair, and
with it the era of fairs and
centennials will pass until the
coming of July a, 1916, and the
opening of the exposition of
that year the details whereof
concern no man Of the present
