it.

Carl Hockenberg of Milroy has
gone to Norway for the winter,
according to the Echo. That part
of the county has brought out a
number of candidates for the new
throne of Norway this fall and
winter, indicating that the section is
in good financial circumstances. We
hope that they will all get on the
right side of Haaken the 7th. He
appears to be a pretty good fellow.
Bert. Hammond, formerly of
Sleepy Eye, and well-known in Red
wood Falls as a brother-in-law to w.

Neil Finch, who owns the opera
house at Tracy, has concluded that
it is not a paying investment, and
he is having plans prepared for
changing it into hotel. The Her
aid says that as bad as Tracy needs
a new hotel the opera house would
be missed a great deal more. Editor
Rea gives Mr.. Finch to understand,
however, that he is the owner of the

lation of his rudder gently drifted to
