"During the seven years that have
just passed there 10 no duty, domestic
or foreign, which we have shirkeds no
necessary task which we have feared
TO undertake, or which we have not

We have never pleaded impotence.
We have never soaght refuge In criti-
Clam and complaint instead Of action.

Parker Is the Hope Of Trusts.

tNeW 1Ork lrtDune.j
James j. Hills selection OF Judge
Parker as his candidate is significant.
He is angry with President Roosevelt
simply and solely for interfering with
his lawless schemes to monopolize the
railway traffic OF the Northwest. He
turns to Democracy and Judge Parker
because he sees in them license to work
his sovereign and imperious will in the
domain OF business without restraint on
the part Of the government. And Mr..
]. j. Hill is an able, experienced, hard
headed man, who knows what he is
about. He is not in the habit OF buying
gold bricks.

Some Com parIsons.

Contrasted with the grand old Repub-
lican party: the one abolished slavery,
the other upheld it to the last; the pne
put down the rebellion, the other sup
ported the rebellion; the one preserved
the National faith and credit. and paid
the National debt, the other tried every
scheme and expedient to stnltify the re-
public and avoid the debt: the one pre-
served the standard OF value unchanged.
the other sought to tamper with it and
destroy it.

May Blanchard and Lucy Bla nchard
half-breeds, were brought before Judge
Durfee Wednesday morning on the
charge Of drunkenness and disorderly
conduct. They had been in town cou.
pie of days claiming to be from the Clo-
quet reservation. According to the girls
story they came here with Victor Coty
and Jerry Laviolette, who entertained
them royalty with liberal supplies of
drinkables. They became so boisterous
finally that they were put out of Olson's
hotel, where they had been rooming, and
in being elected one of them broke a
large glass in the hotel front. When
arrested the older one pleaded: "Put
me in Jail, but don't put the kid in; she
hasn't done anything" Sentence was
suspended, with the understanding tn It
they leave town, and they took the next
boat for Port Aathur. Shifting danger
Lavioiette went to the Cascade and took
the sboat there for Port Arthur, barely
escaping Sheriff Gu!brandsen, who " as
after him with warrant for giving " lis

Cross River, May 28, 1904.
Fire caused considerable loss to I. B.
Gaskell this morning. Starting from an
unknown source, iu the absence of Mr..
Gaskell, it gained considerable Roadway
before being discovered. The circum-
stance is aggravated by the fact his be-
ing away fighting fire himself ut Tenn
perance River. The ,ss is large barn
and some manufactured timber, besides
the standing timber.
It was discovered by Freddie Sheridan
at 10:45, who informed H. G. Waldron.
He Immediately went to work to save
the house, while Freddie ran to Cross
River TO summon help. Mr.. Waldron
was later assisted by J. H. Pinkerton
These two saved the house by keeping
it wet down and keeping down the fire
iu the yard. William Dolan came from
Cross River with a crew of twenty men
and soon placed the fire under control
The fight was hard one on account oil

Fire at TOfte.


Louis Engelsen returned TO Grand
Marais Sunday from a visit at Tote
and he reports that they had very ex-
citing time fighting the fire ct that
place. Seeing the fire approaching and
rea]izlng the danger the people began
early to prepare for the fight by making
ladders and hauling supply of water TO
have In reserve. EnKelsen & Tofte
called in their crew OF men, numbering
about thirty, to be ready for the fight
and townspeople turned out en- masse;
still in spite of desperate work done by
this small army some damage was done.
Ed. Tofte lost his barn, a Set Of harness
lot of chickens and some TIMBER.
When the fire was first noticed there
was heavy fog and the wind was hold
ing it in check; but the wind suddenly
SHIFTED and drove the flames down upon
the settlement like cyclone. The fire
ragged with such ferceness that men
could not make themselve heard by
those near them, and the heat and smoke
drove some of them temporarily from
their posts. Several household ers
concluded their homes were doomed
and moved their furniture down to the
brach. BY heroic work, however, The,
succeeded in limiting the destruction to
that above noted.
When Mr.. Engelsen came away fire
was still burning in the woods, but no
further damage is reported.

8 It now appears that being compiled
with the names above mentioned the
Herald's comments did an injustice to
the company of whom thy are clients
the United States Homestead and Locat-
ing company of Minneapolis. Only two
of the party did not file. These two re-
fused to go with the company's cruiser
to look at the land. The others have
advertised to make final proof on their
CLAIMS, which is the very best evidence
of the company's fair dealing and that
they were not disappointed by the re-
suit of their visit to Cook county. In a
written statement addressed to the Her.
aid they say:
"As to being disappointed in the
purpose our visit We wish to say f,r
ourselves at least that We were fair
ly we'll Informed as to the country
before visiting it and were not in
any way disappointed"
The work of legitimate agencies en-
gagged in interesting outsiders in the
advantages of Cook county and in br1ng-
ing settlers here deserves all possible
encouragement. It is far from the Her.
AIDS purpose to handicap them in any
way; and, therefore, we gladly make the
above correction.
