LOST PURSE WAS FOUND.
Rev. OIcHargue's Bad Luck Trumped
by Providence.

Rev. o. F. Hargue, Christian min
lister from Bozeman, Mont, changed
cars here last evening en- route to Cal
ifornia via Portland. AS he had never
before been in Pendleton he took ad-
vantage of the hour of daylight after
the arrival of the Spokane train, to
see the town, and first walked to the
top of the hill south. Returning, he
discovered that he had lost his pock
etbook after leaving the depot. 1t
contained $35 in cash and numerous
letters and draft for $65. Mr. NC
Hargue took the IL p. m. train west,
having a through ticket to go on, but
no money, and depending upon a
brother in Portland for his next re-
mittancs.
This morning Dan Mays. the con-
tractor, turned over to the police the
lost pocketbook, with all its contents
intact. He had found It on his way
home in the southwest suburbs last
evening.

describing the beauties of Mile Lacs
Lake and also the great natural re.
sources of the surrounding district,
Much of the article was credit to
the lake country. yet we feel that
much has been understimated. whiel
on the other hand there seems to be
some Misrepresentation. Certainly
the gentleman who. some short time
ago drove, from Little Falls to Mile
Laos lake did not return with an
over abundance of facts concerning
the lake region, :er the reason that
only a comparatively small part of the
lake and surrounding country fell to
his vision during his visit, while the
rest of his information was imported
to him by an acquaintance
Among the statements that we feel
much inclined to disregard is the idea
that Mile Lacs Lake is too distant for
tourists. With the good roads that
radiste from the Lake to i've rsilroad
points lying In I've different counties,
with comparatively short distances be-
tween them as -Rrainerd to
Midland "a miles; Little Falls to
Vineland 81 miles; Milaca to South
she re, 80 miles; Mora to Lawrence 25
miles, and Aitkin to Wealthwood 18
miles and with the good stage accom-.
modaticns at the public disposition
between all of the above places, We
believe that Mile Lacs Lake can be
very easily reached. and this state.
ment is proved by the increase over
other years in the number of people
who come here during the. summer
months to spend some time in re crea.
ton and pleasure. asswen as by the
appearance at the lake during the
Summer of automobiles: When place
issreached by autos It proves that the
roads mrst be in good shape.

taken care of easily. Lawrence, Isle,

The quo: ation-''A creamery was es.
tablished at Midland and q boat en-
ploved to make regular trips around

is evident that the country has not
been sufficiently developed because the
enterprise was soon abandoned. This
is not wholly 80. The regular trips
made by the boat were abandoned,
nevertheless the Midland Creamery
Co. is actually enjoying a splendid
business.
As regard D. II. Robbins, he owns
considerable property at the Lake,
but he owns no such 400 acres of
lake shore property. An estimate Of
100 acres instead of 400 would be
much nearer the correct figures.
He has no claims whatever to the
historical Indian village of Kathio.
which lies three. quarters of q mile
distant from any of his land and ie
owned by E. L. Trask of Minneapolis.
