park board for thirty-two years, w. M.
Berry presented his resignation as sup
erintendent of the Minneapolis park
system to that body at the regular
park board meeting Monday afternoon.

proficient services.
James Greeley, an old-time resident
of Minnesota, but for many years past
q Montanian, making his home at Great
Falls, was a visitor amongst friends
here and in st. Paul recently. Mr..
Greeley has been paying more or less
attention to the Northwest territory

in most fattering terms Of Alberta
nnd the country thereabouts.
}, The four-story brick building and
lot at 212 Second street north which
has been occupied for some time by
Baker and Company, importers and
coffee roasters, has been bought by

In accordance with the statements
made by the coal companies some
weeks ago that the price Of all soft Goa
would advance as a result Of the cal
shortage, the price of this necessity
has been boosted from $5.75 ton tt
$500. A great scarcity of steam Goa
