A WHOLE DAY OF DELIGHT
JOURNAL EXCURSIONS TO SUIT
THE CONVENIENCE OF ALL
WILL RUN TO TAYLORS FALLS
SATURDAY.. ..#

Persons who visit the Dalles of the
st. Croix, at Taylors Falls, are always
eager to go again. The features Of
the place are so thoroly and charac-
teristically the work of Nature in one
of her most freakish moods that one
never tires of contemplating the rocks,
the woods and the water. Standing
on the battlemented bluffs far above
the river, one does not need a vivid
imagination to understand in some
degree the titanic forces which have
shaped the world. The marks of erup-
ton by fire and erosion by water, of
the chiseling by frost and weather are
all as plain as poster type and what
mere man has done sinks into insig-
nificance in contrast.
But despite the evidences of natural
forces at war, the scene at the dalles
is one Of peace. The persistent pine
has crept into the former battle-ground
of the Titans and in every crevice
where a seed could lodge or root
pering evergreens that complete the
picture. Far below, the river crowds
between it's sheer walls of volcanic
rock and the audible gurgle, of the
waters mingles with the musical note
of the pines in a perpetual song Of
peace.
The scenic features Of the place are
long and careful inspection, and yet
they are so convenient and bold that
the visitor who has but a few hours
can gain more than enough to repay
| him for the brief visit. 1t is with this
! idea that The Journal has ar
ranged various time limits for it's ex-
cursion to Taylors Falls next Satur-
| day. Those who wish to spend eight
hours at the dalles may leave the
Minneapolis union station at $3.50
| am, arriving at TaylOrs Falls at
11:05 am, leaving there at 1905 pm.
and reaching Minneapolis at 9:40 pm.
If it is desired to return earlier, per-
sons going up on the $3.50 train may
leave Taylors Falls at AIS pm. reach
ing Minneapolis at $50 pm, thus
| giving the visitors five hours at the
! falls. A still shorter visit is planned
for those who cannot get away till
| afternoon They can have a delight
full three hours at the dalles by leaV-
ing the Minneapolis union station al
1925 pm, reaching Taylors Falls al
1856 pm. and returning on the 7:OG
train, which arrives in Minneapolis al
9:40 pm.
To add to the enjoyment Of the
tourists, the Journal Newsboys banc

SMALL GIRL s PLEA
SAVES Her FATHER
WHY MIKE GJERsING ESCAPED
WITH A REPRIMAND.
He Was Arrested, His Wife Was in a
Hospital, and His Little Girl APP
pealed to Judge Dickinson Because
She Was Afraid to Stay Alone.

"Are you the police judge?'' asked
a little girl about ten years old, as
she walked hesitatingly into Judge
Dickinsons chambers at the court
house Tuesday evening. "'Cause If
you are I'd like to have my papa go
home with me-. Sister and me were
home alone all last night, and, please,
sir, we were scared most to death!'
whats that?" asked Judge Dick
inson, as he turned quickly from
pile Of papers on his desk that had
been engrossing his attention. What
do you want?'
"Please SIR stammered the child.
as she vainly tried to scratch her left
knee with her right foot, my father,
Mike Gjersing, was arrested by the
policeman last night and they
wouldn't let him come home. My
mother is in the hospital and little
sister and me had to stay home alone
policeman won't let him come home
tonight and we want him."
"Where is your father now?" asked
the judge.
"He's in the police station" replied
the child. THE policeman said he
would be sent to police court tomor-
row, but what will sister and me do
tonight. We are afraid to stay
alone"
1t was only the work of a minute
for the court to write an order for the
father to be released upon his own
recognizance and the child marched
happily to the central police station.
Tel your f farrew to be sure to De
o'clock and all will be WELL" said the
judge, as the happy child walked
proudly away.
Yesterday morning Judge Dickinson
ordered the case of Gjersing to be
passed until all other cases were dis
posed of, and then he had a heart-to-
heart talk with the man. Gjersine
said he was ashamed of himself fol
his actions, explained that he was MOI
drinking man and promised not tt
get drunk again. After giving him
| a severe lecture, the court suspended
sentence and the faithful little girl
who had stood so steadfastly by hel
father, led the thoroly repentant mar
out of the courthouse.

TALKED OF FILTERS
Allen Hazen's Lecture Interests Improve
ment League and Guests.

Allen Hazen's Lecture Interests Improve
ment League and Guests.
Allen Hazen of New York, member
Of the Minneapolis pure water commission
and hydraulic engineer of national repu-
tation, lectured before the Improvement
league and its guests at the Beard art
rooms last evening on the general sub
ject of public filtration of water. The
gathering partook of the features Of social
function, an informal reception being held
at the close Of the lecture. # AE
BY the aid Of stereopticon views and
charts, Mr.. HaZen described the two
principal kinds Of filters known generally
as sand and mechanical filters. A model
Of the sand filter was the plant installed
five years ago at Albany, N. Y. The
filtration is thru successive layers Of
gravel and sand from the coarsest to the
finest, the layer of the latter being four
feet thick. Attic the water was obtained
from the Hudson river, Albany secured
excellent water, the filter removing SO. 02
per cent Of bacteria.
Ithaca. N. Y, has a mechanical filter
built last year. In a mechanical filter a
chemical is used to coagulate and precipi-
tate impurities The treatment of water
by chemicals was not necessarily dan
gerous Where water was muddy the
mechanical filters were desirable but
otherwise sand filters were the most salts
factory. AS the speaker stated that the
water in the Mississippi was not muddy
some suspect that Mr.. Hazen will favor
a sand filter for this city. He declines tc
commit himself, however.

POTATO INYADES
REALM OF PEANUT.
A GREAT POTATO MARKET ES-
TABLISHED AT MINNETIAHA.
Nine Carloads Were Bought and
Shipped at That Point Yesterday
and Brisk Trading Is in Progress
Again Today--Tubers Are of Fine
Quality.

Minnehaha is attaining prominence
as a potato market. Nine carloads
We're shipped from that station yester-
day and this morning the farmers
from Richfield and Bloomington were
on hand bright and early, each with
from forty to one hundred bushels of
the tubers to sell to the highest bid
ders. Five or six of the local COM
mission houses have buyers on hand
and there are even buyers from ST.
Paul eager to spend money.
The potatoes are said to be Of excel
lent quality and readily command 40
and DO cents bushel. A farmer
does not need to make many trips
with big loads before having enough
money to pay taxes.
The establishment Of the potato
market is a good thing for the farm
ers Of Richfield and Bloomington as
we'll as for the commission men. For
merly these farmers went to st. Paul
on account Of the better roads, but
now they are saved a trip of eight or
ten miles coming and going, which is
a considerable item in this busy sea-
son. Moreover the temptations Of the
first chance and "last chance" are
not always staring them in the face as
on the streets of Minneapolis and St,
Paul.
The potato market opened Tuesday
and has grown to such proportions
that the local produce exchange has
appointed an official inspector and
weigher. This has become somewhat
necessary as the potatoes are all sold
by weight.
How long the business will continue
is not known, but at present Mime
haha is shipping about 5000 bushels
Of potatoes a day.. S-

MILITIA BOYS HOME
Companies Return After 7
Weeks Camp.

Minneapolis Companies Return After Two
Weeks In Camp.
The two Minneapolis companies Of the
First regiment, who have been in camp at
Camp Lakeview for almost fortnight,
returned home yesterday and, headed by
the First regiment band, marched up Mic
ollet to the armory. The sidewalks were
crowded with several thousand people who
cheered the boys heartily
The boys We're brown! as berries and all
were loudly enthusiastic in praise Of the
trip. Their report was that the weather
could not have been better and that the
drills and field work has put enough vigor
into them to last until the next encamp-
ment.
The new tactics proved of some diff
Guilty, but the boys soon mastered them.
On the range it is said that the shooting
was equal to best records for militia
Workmanship. From now on the boys will
continue their drills in the armory.

MAY HAVE BEEN SEIZED
Fears for Two Minneapolis Women on t
Steamer Corea.

Steamer Corea.
Anxiety for the safety of Mrs. H. J..
Horton and her daughter, Mrs A E.
Hammond, 1417 Vine place. is expressed
by their friends here, who fear that the
steamship Corea, bound for Yokohama.
Japan, on which they were passengers,
has been captured by the Russian Vladi-
vostok fleet
The Corea belongs to the Pacific Mail
Steamship company and sailed from San
Francisco July ~. The first stop was
to be at Honolulu, but since the departure
no word has been received. 1t is thought
that the course may have changed so as
to have avoided the hostile fleet, and that
this is the reason for not stopping at the
Sandwich islands. The vessel was de-
layed in starting, first by the discovery of
a case of plague and then by the illness
of the commander, Captain Sebry. Before
starting the passengers declared jokingly
that 1t was an i'll omen.
No actual danger would attend the seiz-
ure The cargo is shipped to private
firms in Japan and the state department
at Washington declares that Russia would
have to prove that the shipment was in
tended for the soldiers.

EASY FOR HOUSEHoLDERS
The Even Rain Distribution Makes Lawn
Sprinkling Unnecessary.
RAINFALL.
Altho the rainfall this summer ha

-
deviated but little from the normal 1t
has been very evenly distributed week by
week. While this has meant a great deal
to the farmers, it has also been of i'm
portance to the people in the cities and
to the lake jewellers, as the distribution
has been SO even that practically no at
tention has had to be paid to the sprink-
ling of the lawns. Many people have not
even taken the sprinkler out of doors.
This has been great saving in the wa
ter bills Ordinarily at this time Of year
all the sprinklers are going, but now 1T
is the exception.
The same thing is true at Lake Mime
tonka. One of the common topics of
conversation on the Hains is about the
beauty of the lawns and the ease with
which they are cared for. At the lake the
water is pumped by gasolene engines.
The wonderful season has meant great
economy of power and expense.
