Beaudette to Get Extension
of Great Northern and
Big Saw Mill.
VEXATIOUS TOWNSHIP Dis
PUTES APPEAR ENDED.
Prospect That the Rainy River
Town Will Add 1000 to Its Pop
ulation the Coming Year.

Ell. Bourgeois, deputy county
surveyor, has left for Beaudette,
where he has been engaged by
J, l.. Williams Of. that place to
platt about so acres, consisting
of lot 3 and a part of lot 4 in
section IS 1871: which lies
Immediately south of the long
disputed Cathcart 40, and on the
west bank of Beaudette river.
The plating of this land, which
lies within three blocks of the
Canadian Northern depot, will
permit the present citizens OF
Beaudette to move where they
can secure good title, enlarge
and expand and means the be-
ginning of city which will rank
second only to Bemidji in Bel
trami county.
Situated as it is on the
Canadian Northern Railway
where it crosses the Rainy River
in the center of the best country
lying along that river, it is also
destined to become the county
seat of probably the next new
county to be formed in Mime
sofa. 1t will shortly take on new
life in the construction of a big
saw MILL similar to the mill now
operated on the opposite side Of
the Rainy River by the Namikin
Lumber company, which is a
duplicate of the Bemidji mill.
This alone assures the town of
an increased population of at
least 1000 people, besides the
population now there, who it is
understood, will for the most
part, move on to the newly plated
site where they can at least
secure a clear title.
A bank and several other enter.
prises are now being organized
to be ready to start business as
soon as a platis recorded. M. D.
Stoner. who is we'll acquainted
with the Rainy River country
and with it's resources, states
that the TOWNSHIP of Beaudette
which his assistant is now plat,
ting, has a brighter future and
will undoubtedly enjoy a more
rapid growth than any town
which his Office has plated in
recent years. ~
Great Northern surveying
parties are now running lines
northeasterly from Greenbush
and it is presumed that Beau
dette is their destination, or at
least on their line east. What
more feasible and profitable
than a line from the wheat fields
easterly via Roseau, Warroad,
Beaudette and international
Falls to connect with the Great
Northern at Virginia? The
future of the extreme north
eastern part of the state seems
now assured.

Beer Taps Lest.

nv J,ADY'S G.

Do you know the rich, clear, bril-
liant brown of the topaz? All those
adiectives fail to, describe Its clear
deep golden qualities, if you don't
know it. At any rate, ~topaz-colored
hair is the latest thing, if your locks
are of such a shade that they can be
cultivated into a topaz-like bloom,
blessed are you among women.
But don't dye them, for that will
take off the rich, shining bloom. 1t is
merely a question of c%uitivating and
invigorating, and urging the hair to
bloom as the gardener urges the rose
to flourish.
The reason for this popularity OF
topaz-colored hair is the reported
transformation of the hair of Mrs.
Spencer Clay, formerly Miss Pauline
Aston, who recently appeared at a
London dinner with her hair a new
color. It had been changed from a
dark, unsatisfactory hue, to a remark
able new brown-a topaz-brown, the
same color as the BRILLIANT Brazilian
level, of which the young woman has
a whole apronful.
Thesenhancing of Mrs. Clay's beau
ty has been brought about by a treat
ment by an expert hairdresser. He
had used no harmful drugs, either.
And now ~topaz-colored hair is the
rage.

FASHION HINTS.

AS for chapeaux, the gowns of the
periods of Louis XIV, XIV and XVI
simply demand hats of those times.
Stamped leather is much liked for
trimmings. So, too, is a coarse linen,
heavily embroidered. Either of these
are Immensely in favor for waist.
coats, cuffs and collars.
A new shade, rather between ecru
and clear gray, is called modelling
clay. It is much liked in soft taffetas.
Every atelier is now seething with
ideas which take fresh forms every
day. At the theatre and at every 9TH
er place of entertainment the eye is
constantly delighted by sons new
color, some novel combination of
color, Or some new arrangement of
things that are not new.
Tall women of fine figure are in
clined to retain the redingote.
Reseda coinage has been done into
"a charming costume taileure. 1t is
stitched in a darker green, while the
waistcoat is of a more delicate toile
de sole, fastened 18th small silver
buttons.
Hand embroidery is so much liked
that mondaines will keep all the ex.
pert needle women more than busy.
A dark navy blue silk now in the
