RELICS OF 0LDEN DAYS

HEIRLooMs OF MANY GENERA
TIONS. .s.+.5.

The home of Mrs. P. M. Thompson,
Seventh street Sc and Fifteenth ave-
nue., has it's hooks and corners filled
with articles breathing stories of the
long ago. In the collection of heir
looms are variety Of curios and an
tique treasures such as old papers, old
family letters, linens, spun and woven
of quaint design.
This interesting collection came into
the Thompson family thru Mr.. Thomp-
son s mother, Mason, descending
from the Masons of New Hampshire.
Among the most interesting articles
are the family letters, which, with old
papers printed several centuries back,
make up unique library. In addition
tc this is genealogy of the Mason
family in three books, compiled by
Alherdo Hayward Mason of East Brain
tree, Mass, in which the annals of the
Masons date back to 1861. "The last

SETTLEMENT IN
A SORRY PLIGHT
BRIDGE rs NEEDED AS THE CON-
MEETING LINK.
Residents Of Northeast Minneapolis at
the Other End of the Burned Univer-

Isolated Petition No. 4 Will Be Cir

Who is to rebuild the bridge over
the tracks of the Great Northern and
the Northern Pacific railroads, at the
upper end of University avenue NE,
and when will it. be done9
For the small settlement of about 100
crossing on University and Twenty
eighth. avenue NE, this is. a momen-
tous question. The center of the bridge
burned in 1908. Before that time the
bridge was the only handy means Of
communication with the city. Without
it the people are in sore plight. Three
eStt y eoanc NV but teea %e S aa S the the
Great Northern are in litigation over
the matter, the petitions have been Of
no avail. In the grade crossing case,
a short time ago, Judge Holt declared in
favor of the Great Northern, holding
that the defendant company was under
no legal obligation, under it's charter or
otherwise, to rebuild the bridge, be-
pant. The city will take the matter
before the supreme court. and if it is
properly. pushed may come up during
the April term.

or two, to cross the network Of tracks
is first Of all menace to life, and sec
Ond, can be accomplished only at much
loss Of time. The Great Northern and
Northern Pacific railways have their
tracks there, and in addition the 500
line runs spur track. At times there
are long freight trains to obstruct the
passage for an hour. or. longer. Parents
have to take their children to school as
they are afraid that harm might come

| Those who have homes cannot rent
them nor do they care to occupy them,
! It is impossible to get teaming service
except by a detour over the Marshall
street road, which is a mile or two
| further. The viaduct in it's present
state Of collapse is used as retreat for
tramps, and taking it all together, the
people are in a bad fix"

in business. The approach to the bridge

The residents in the deserted part of
