a Short One

The recent advent of Memorial
Day marked another milestone in
the lives of the G.. A. r. veterans.
They have reached an age when
every year tells on their condition.
Their ranks are not only growing
thinner as they march through the
streets on their annual parades, but
their forms are becoming more
bowed and their step less certain.
A large number Of them are not
able to endure the march, and all
such either ride in carriages or
content themselves by taking posi-
tons where they can see their com
rades when they pass by. In Min
neapolis, this year, the citizens
placed their carriages and automo-
biles at the disposal of all who were
not able to walk, and, this enabled
all the veterans to participate in
the parade. This was a very pa
triotic act on the part of the citi-
zens and one that was duly appre-
ciated by the benefciaries.

apart BY the veterans for placing

outgrowth of one of the most beauti-
full sentiments of civilization, and it
met with such hearty response from
the people outside the ranks that
the day was make a holiday by law.
It was intended to give all an OPP
portunity to assist the veterans as
far as possible. and above all, to do
reverence to the occasion.

We who have for so many years
witnessed the parades of the G. A.
R. on their annual Memorial Day,
have become so accustomed to the
sight that we, partly at least, have
lost sight of theirg great significance.
We have forgotten the experiences,
10 the early sixties, of the old men
whom we see lettering along to the
inspiring music of the fife and drum.
We forget that the War of the Re-
bellion was the greatest war, in all
its essential features, that the
world has ever seen. The tabled
hosts OF Xerxes probably surpassed
it in the number of combatants, but
no war since firearms were invent
ed has had so many men engaged
in conflict, and it is not likely that
the number will ever again be
equaIled. Neither did any other
war of which we have any authentic
record cost so much in human life
and treasure. And as to valor, the
intrepin and persistent fighting at
Gettysburg and Petersburgh, to say
nothing of many other bloody
battles, are worthy a place in his
tory by the side of the Charge of
the LIGHT Brigade.

A few years ago the veterans gave
a sham battle at the state fair
grounds as one of the attractions of
the state fair. 1t was an event into
which the veterans entered with
great enthusiasm, and much time,
labor and money were spent in the
preparations. On the day of the
battle, as we'll as the day before, a
steady stream of old soldiers was
coming and going, and requests for
this thing and that were repeatedly
made of every official and attendant
on the grounds. One of the state
fair officers became somewhat irritat-
ed by these demands, some of which
seemed to him unreasonable, and in
thoughtless moment he said to one
of the veterans: "This old soldier
business makes me very tired. !"
During the sham battleII sat beside
this same official, and as the can
mons doomed from the high ground
in the distance, and as charge after
charge was made by the infantry,
until the ground became strewn
with those who were supposed to
be dead or wounded, this man re-
called what he had said that morn
ing during his temporary vexation,
and said be was SO sorry about it
that if he could onlyss find the man
be said it to he would apologize as
humbly as he knew how. The bat
tie, though only a sham. showed
how terrible real battle was, and
the impression made upon the mind
of this man was deep and lasting.
When the performance was over
and we were walking to the secre-
tary S Office, this official broke a
long silence by saying: Hereafter,
when I meet member flthe G. A.
R., I will give him the whole walk,
if necessary, even if l have to step
off in the mud"

mental, and there are many such,

GREAT SCHEME
TO RAISE LAKES
OLD PROJECT REVIVED ON A
SMALLER SCALE.
Promoters Would Turn the Waters of
Grow Wing River Into Gull and
Other Lakes Near Brainerd to Pre-
serve Them and Make Them Navi-
gable
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Brainerd, Mimi, Aug 16-Interest has
been revived in a project which found root
in this vicinity some ten years ago, and
which had to do with raising the waters
in Gull and other lakes in this vicinity.
The water in all the lakes is low and the
scheme is to have congress do something
to keep the lakes UP SO that they will be
navigable from one to another. The same
project which came before congress years
ago is being seriously considered, only on
a smaller scale.
About ten years ago two surveys were
taken, one being for a 6-foot raise and
the other for an S-foot, which would affect
the following bodies of water: Gull,
Round. Long, Gladstone, Upper Gull, Will
son, Upper Fish Trap, Lower Fish Trap,
Edney, Gilpatrick and Sylvan lakes.
The idea in the first place was to cut
canal from the Grow Wing river to
Sylvan lake and then build a dam across
the Crow Wing, thus turning the water
from the Grow Wing into the canal for
tho purpose of raising the lakes.
The projectors secured an appropria ton
from congress of $SO,sss, and this was but
the beginning of a gigantic scheme to put
in complete system Of dams and canals,
so that the water in the lakes and rivers
could be controlled and manipulated to the
convenience and profit Of the lumbermen.
The total cost at that time was figured out
at 81, 500, 900.
Persons along the proposed route be-
came scared and a signed protest was
sent Congressman Morris. A commission
was then appointed by congress, of which
Senator Nelson was chairman, to look into
the feasibility of the scheme. It made an
unfavorable report and the appropriation
of $4,000 was turned into the war de-
partment.
F. G. Lynch Of st. Paul, has some prop
erty in the vicinity Of Gull lake and has
interested Congressman Stevens, and it is
expected something will he done at the
coming session of congress.

TIN ORE VEINS

BENNETT WILL RELOCATE DIS

Possibility of the Mining of Copper
and Tin Side by Side as Has Been
Done at Cornwall, Eng, for Gen
acknowledgements County Be-
Heyed to Have the Metal.

Special to The Journal
Houghton, Mich, Aug. 16.-There is tin
In Michigan, and tin and copper may be
mined side by side, as has been done in
Cornwall for 5000 years,
Tin has been found by two different
pers ons in Keweenaw county, some thirty
miles north of Houghton, but for different
reasons neither of these discoveries was
followed up. The visit to this district OF
a former resident and his mention of the
finding of tin ore on the headWaters of the
Tobacco river many years ago. brought
to light the fact that a similar discovery
of tin ore was made on the same stream
by William Barkell of Hancock, some
twelve years ago AlthO Cornish miner,
Barkell did not know the nature of his
find until the specimen brought home was
identified later by a mineralogist who
happened to see it. On returning to the
spot the banks of the stream We're found
cayed in, and no more was in sight. AS
the land was owned by another person,
no attempt was made then to follow UP
the discovery.
The matter has again been taken in
hand by Thomas Bennett, who will relO-
cate the vein, which he once visited with
Barkell The ore found was cassiterite,
a simple oxide of tin, carrying, when pure
about 10 per cent of the metal, but often
containing impurities in the form of allied
metals that bring down the percentage
Of tin contained.
There have been occasional rumors, dur
ing the past quarter century, of the dis
covery of tin in the Huron Mountain dis
trict of Marquette and Baraga counties
These low mountains, being Of granite
would seem more natural home for veins
of tinstone than the trappean rocks OF the
Keweenaw peninsula, but the discovery Of
tin ore in KeweenaW county is authenti-
Gated, while the finds in the Huron noun
tains lack verifcatton, tho it is probable
that the discoveries were genuine.
