The latest thing in London is orona-
tion insurance. 1t is taken by specu-
lators who erect stands along the
route OF the parade. There is always
the chance, however remote, that the
route may be changed, and other con-
tingencies have likewise to be reck-
oned with. A favorite form of policy,
therefore, is that which provides that.

recent date in which State Auditor ly0r'
son was quoted as complaining that too
many people are going through Mime.
sofa to seek homes in Canada. ~ }@>% !
The correspondent ascribes this con.
dition to the dog-in-the. manger policy
of the state with it's public lands. While
conditions are not everywhere as bad as
those he describes, there is good deal
in what he says. The state could profit
by the example of Canada, which is offer
ing every induoement to settlers and
seeks only to get people on it's laude,
without holding them for high prices as
the state of Minnesota has done.
The swamp lands ruling to which the
correspondent refers was ono of the
numerous rulings of the interior depart
ment that appears to be absolutely
devoid of justice and common sense.
The state gets from tha public domain
all lands classified as swamp in surveys
made many years ago, but little of it is
swamp now. whatever it may have been
at one time. Sauatters who had settled
upon government lands at the invitation
of the government, picked high and dry
acres far from swamps. frequently found
when the township was thrown open
that their acres were classed as swamp,
and that the state claimed them. These
unfortunate homeseekers were not per-
m1tted to prove the character of the
land, the land Office ruling that the
surveyors field notes were to rule re-
gardless of the facts.
The state supported this ruling, and
spent money to oppose those who sought
fair play. That some of the lands went
to railroads Is true. This cannot now be
helped. It the state pursued a generous
policy after 1t acquired title to the lands
there would be 90 complaint, but il does
not. While it will hold sales this fall,
there have been none for years, and large
areas have been held back from SETTLE
ment because of it's policy. There was
no use settling on an open piece of land
surrounded by the states preserves and
by railroad holdings, because such a
settler would have to pay the entire cost
Of road building, education and local
government, instead of having the broad
acres around him filed with neighbors.
to cheerfully bear their share of the ex-
pense.
Thore Is much in the charges of The
Herald's correspondent that calls for
remedy. The state should adopt a more
generous policy. It should seek more
for settlers than for high prices for It's
lands. It should hold it's land sales
often. and should use every endeavor to
attract homeseekers. 1t could better
afford to give it's lands away to actual
settlers than to hold them up at the ex-
pense of the states development.

MILLINERY HINTS.

The panama hat having been adopted
as the fashion, London has gone crazy
over it.
Bright green aigrettes, long, bead
ing toward the front of the hat, and
laid almost fiat, are seen in the trim
ming of some hats.
White hats are being ornamented
with tiny wreaths of pink flowers,
while pink ones show a delicate border
of pure white flowers.
One of the coolest and prettist hats
of the season is made of white lilacs so
natural one can almost smell the
fragrance, with few leaves and the
crown of the hat in white tulle.
The foliage hat is holding it's own
and the white frosted green leaves are

T Jack Scott and Gene Clark, Who have
been engaged in the fishing business a
few miles up the shore, will transfer
their headquarters to Grand Marais.
For this purpose they are building a
warehouse near the Nester landing on
the bay 'front.' They haye 'lately built
and fitted up a gasolene launch and are
otherwise enIarging and improving their
equipment so as to continue the business
on much larger scale than heretofore.
Arthur Wright has been promoted
from the position of clerk on the Amer.
ica to q place in the Booth oompanys
Duluth Office. "Archie" has been in
the Booth company's north shore SER
vice for ten years. He enjoys the per-
sonal acquaintance and the friendship
of practically the whole population of
the north shore. While regretting this
severing of old ties, his friends are glad
to see him reap the reward of meritori-
GUS service and land in more COM
Portable berth.
The sawmiIl has started up for the
season, Steam was turned on and the
whistle blown on Wednesday. The
work of adjusting new machinery, con-
siderable amount of which has been
added this season, is completed, and the
work of the season was commenced in
real earnest today. The company has
contracted TO manufacture $4,000 ties.

The picnic on the point of rocks last
Saturday evening Was a decidedly en-.
joyable affair. The weather man was
good to the party and provided very
comfortable weather. Everybody came
with large, we'll sharpened appetite,
and the onslaught that was made upon
the tempting and plentiful spread of
good things was picnic to behold
After lunch the party joined in camp
songs and indulged in some of those
games that brought them back to child
hood days, rounding out in perfect FASH
Ion All evening of genuine pleasure.
Seymour Mitchell, who will have
charge of the extension work on the
Gunhint road, left Thursday morning
in company with Nicholas Probeck to
look over the ground. The increasing
overland traffic into the Gunflint country
makes the matter of road Improvement
of greatest Importance. The Gunhlnt
road is passable to the 24-mile post, and
during the present season there has
been an extraordinary amount of traffic
in that direction. The settlers in the
Guuf1int section feel that they are ent1-
tied to some' ontlet other than the
roundabout trip Though Canada by way
of Port Arthur. There is justice in this
claim and the powers that be are begin
mining to realize 1t. Besides, the ma.
terial benefits that are promised to the
county by the completion of this road
are more than speculative nd such as
to command serious consideration.
Hence, the steps now being taken to-
wards carrying out this work. Upon
Mr.. Mitche!l's return a crew of men will
be taken out and operations begun.

BUILDING IMPROVEMENTS.

of Grand MaraiS' Progress,

or Grand MaraiS' Progress.
We are building faster than we know.
We may not realize it, but 1t is prob
ably true that at the present moment in
the line of building improvements Grand
Marais is making the greatest progress
in her history.
Many new buildings are looming up
on every hand to the accompanying cho-
rus of saw and hammer that is sweet
music to the ears of all hopeful citizens.
At the present time there are half
dozen Or more residence and other
buildings going up.
The most pretentious of these is the
house being built by Jas. Scott, to cost,
when completed, about $4,000.
Bernt Jacobson is building large
two-story residence.
Nels Olson has one and a half story
residence nearly completed on his lot on
the east side.
Two large residences have been started
by Holte brothers on their Monroe
street property.
Miss Bakke is bulldog a comfortable
home on her lot next to M. Johnson's.
And not the least of such improve
ments is the mill company's boarding
house, new nearly ready for occupancy
Robert Howenstlr home on Madi-
son street, built this season, is an
improvement of no little credit to the
neighborhood.
Then there is Louis Plante's neat cot.
tage, just completed.
And Joe Angers' cottage is part of
this seasons improvements.
When with this list is included the
considerable other private and public
improvements to be made part of his
years record of progress made, we can
we'll feel more than satisfied.
Andrew Johnson will build residence
this summer.
Louis Engelson has purchased lot
and proposes to have home he can call

There are still others who contem.
plate doing this same sensible thing.

London anglers justly accuse William
Waldorf Astor of obstructing their
sport. The Anglicized American multi
millionaire has seen great awakening
light. The hostile attitude which he

Thames has completely changed. He
is now their friend and patron. Peace

Thames conservancy.

at his own expense shoa1 of young

city officials to investigate its history
not long ago. Then it was shown that.

DICKENS SONS DENIAL.
So far as the "Old Curiosity Shop is
concerned, inquiry proves that it has
not even the shadow of claim to be
Dickens relic. Not only is the Lincoln's
Inn shop spurious, but 1t is said that no
exact original of the home of Little
Nell ever existed. Attention has been
called to a definite statement by
Charles Dickens, the younger. which
settles the matter for all time. This
was once made in the course of an
English magazine article and runs as
follows:
With mere unintelligent and un-
supportable fable do not intend to
trouble myself-with the absurd cred
ulity, for instance, which induces some
travellers to believe that the house in
Portsmouth street, Lincoln's Inn. which
has in some inexplicable way come to
be labeled as the Old Curiosity Shop.

Invitation to a fishing party he had or

One Of the clubmen told him openly, it
is asserted, that he could not partici-

ton In claiming exclusive rights for
himself on the river.
His conversion was accelerated by
the discovery that a number of dead
dogs and cats were finding their way
mysteriously to that part Of the river
