BOULEVARD THROUGH WOODS
Logging Road So Level That a Team
May Be Seen Eight Miles Distant.

Walker, Mimi, Feb. 27.-Parties who
ave returned from a trip to the J. A.
Irvine logging camps at Pine Island, in
Beltrami county, tell Of the most wonder
full winter roads hat has ever been built
in the logging woods of northern Mime
sofa. It extends a distance of fourteen
miles In a straight line, is fifty feet wide,
and Is so level that 1t is possible to see a
load Of logs for a distance of eight miles.
Its construction involved the outlay Of a
vast amount Of money, but 1t has more
than paid for itself in added convenience.
On either xide Of the road 1t has been
staked, and millions Of evergreens have
been set up and wedged together to keep
the snow out. 1t Is always in excellent
condition. and is more like a boulevard
than a winter logging road. Over 200 men
are employed in the Irvine camp, nearly
all of them old timers from the Saltwater
country, who LAY been in the employ Of
the vine company for years. Seven loads
are hauled over the road to the landing
every day. Each load is drawn by eight
horses, and two trailers are attached. The
first sleigh carries an average Of ID, 200 to
1900 feet, the sleigh following carries
about 1900, and the last one about 5000
feet.

ZIMMERMAN MISSING.
His Friends Fear Anton Zazaski Lost
His Life in the Woods.

Two Harbors, Mich. Feb. 2I-Inquirics
nave been sent out to the lumber camps
In Lake and Cook counties and every
effort to locate Anton ZaZaslii, q timber
cruiser, is being made. About the middle
of December Zazaski left his home at
West Duluth for the northern part Of
Cook county. He has not been heard
from and fri.ids greatly fear that he has
lost his life either by starvation after
becoming lost in the woods or by being
killed by wolves or other wild animals.
When he left his home he expected to
be gone three weeks and at the longest
one month. lie passed through here By
rail and left the train at the end Of it's
line at Ely and then struck off overland
on snow shoes across LAX county in
tending to go into the northern part Of
Cook county and come back by foot here
at Two Harbors. The trip he proposed
to take is a long and p~erilous one, passing
through an unknown wilderness of
swamps and forests. Zazaski was
equipped with a good supply of food and
intended to secure game to furnish him
with the fresh meat he needed. When no
word had been heard from him after a
months absence his friends began to feel
anxious about him and more so now when
more than two months have passed by
without knowing his whereabouts. Every
endeavor will be made to locate him, but
1T is feared he is dead.

dles' dresses to prevent their touching
the muddy wheels. For all of which
things coppers were to be gained, come
times even silver. But the board with his
undeslred flowers hampercd him. The
Vlolets represented all his fortune, and
their responsibility weighed heavily.
Once when Il hanson stopped near him

remember 1t for a moment and one Of the

some reason to open her purse and fun

and a policeman hustled him out Of the
way before he could pick up his lost flow

lunch Of bread, remembering suddenly
that he was faint and hungry.
After eating. his resolution came back.
He had to make three bob" He had
given his word to Liza and Liza always
believed him.
The storm was over now, and the sun
broke through the clouds. The rain had
freshened his flowers, and the larger
punches began to sell. But 1t was after
4 when the last one went-he sold 1t for
a half-penny in his anxiety to get away
and left him with a gain Of hvepence half
penny for the twelve hours Of anxiety
and standing.
He spent the halfpenny for a cup of
cocoa at a coffee shop to brace him up for
the work that lay before him, but he swal-
lowed it hastily, for time was pressing.
The placards Of the evening papers had
appeared In the streets announcing a fire
in London. In which some women had been
burned to death, and the sight excited
him.
He had been hoping against hope that
there would be a good placard tonight.
and a fire was better than nothing.
He trotted all the way to Whitefriars
street, and felt himself rewarded. An ex-

already, with a contents bill given up to
the catastrophe. Terrible Fire in, Lon

With scarcely a tremor he staked a shil-
ling and carried off three dozen copies to
start running west along Fleet street, and
the Strand, his hoarse voice horrible as he
flung the announcement of tragedy right

He was not the first, but the others
seemed onl yto have prepared his way.

WEATHER PREDICTIONS.
Are the Latest Luxury Added to LIS
the Farmer Eniovs.

the FARMER Enjoys.
Mapleton, Ia, Feb. 26.-A new an
rangement which is calculated to be
of direct and important benefit to the
farmers throughout this territory, and
also in northern Woodbury. county, has
just been perfected by the Maple Valley
Telephone and Telegraph company. BY
the aid of the chief of the United
States weather bureau at Chicago,
warnings of weather changes will be
sent to Des Moines to the observer
there, by telegraph at government ex-
pense, and from there transmitted to
the local central offices which will at
once send same to all subscribers liv-
Ing along the telephone farm lines.
The usual methods adopted by the
companies that have accepted the prop
oSition is to have a general weather cal
made about - m. every day, giving a
sufficient number Of minutes for each
subscriber to reach the phones. The
operator at the central office will slow
ly repeat the forecast, only two min
utes being required for that
The forecasts will be made from wealth
er observations taken at Z a.. m. and
sent out from Chicago about 8 a. m,
reaching Iowa stations about 10 o'clock
every morning. With his daily mail,
and newspaper, and weather forecast
right at his front door every morning,
the farmer and his family will be re-
lieved in a wonderful degree of the
feeling of isolation in life on the farm.
To Open New Coal Field.
Eddyville, Ia, Feb. 26.-Late reports
from good authority indicate that the ru-
mors that have been heard for some time
to the effect that a railway was to be
built through the farming community
across the river from Eddyville, are based
on facts, and work will commence early
in the spring. The Chicago, Ottumwa and
Western railway is said to be at the head
Of the enterprise, and the line which they
propose to build from Council Bluffs to
Ottumwa will open a new coal field be-
tween Eddyville and the large mining
camp of Buxton. With this end in view
the company which formerly had control
Of the mine at Monkeys Nest or Frankers-
vile, near here, have taken options on
] 1000 acres of coal land a few miles west
Of Eddyville. The new line will be OPP
Grated by electricity and will accommo-
date passenger M freight traffic, and as
a depot will be built at the old tow Of
Bridgeport, about a mile west, it will
give Eddyville an outlet to the west, and
should be a good thing for the town. as
1t would likely draw trade from the min
ing camps across the river. The survey
runs from Buxton eastward down the
northern edge of Monroe county follow
ing down the river bluff to South Of
fumWa.

Might comes apace, rains overhead"
The youth leaped UP the dizzy stair
And answered with a cheerful air
EXCELSIOR"
The caddie fed with frightened moan.
The eager youth was left alone
For he had sworn, deep in his soul
That he would make the seventh hole,
EXCELSIOR.
Down came the rain, the thunder peal
ed,
The ftful lightning's flash revealed
His battling form just di111ly seen
Striving to reach that putting green.
EXCELSIOR.
Twelve times he lofted at the wall.
Twelve times the ball did backward fall.
Twelve times quoth he, that was too
low
ought to hit it thus, not so,
EXCELSIOR"
AT midnight his sad family
Came on the links with clamorous cry.
ooh Willie do not stay all night
A voice replied far up the height,
"EXCELSIOR."
There in the morning, cold and gray,
Lifeless, but on the green he lay
His putter in his hand clasped fast,
The ball within the hole at last
EXCELSIOR.
In glory of his splendid pluck,
In pity of his deadly luck,
The club, emerging from it's gloom
Inscribed this word upon his tomb.
EXCELSIOR.
And to perpetuate his fame
