SCHOOL REPORT.

For the school year beginning Sept.
5, 1904, and ending June 9, 1905, average
daily attendance at Grand Marais
schools was 50. In point of punctuality
and regularity in attendance the show
ing made was exceptionally good, and
the general progress of the pupils IN
their school work was equally satisfac-
tory. The practice of issuing awards Of
merit, together with the monthly pub
lication of the troll of honor" are incer-
tives to regular attendance, condition
conducive to good work in the school.
A total of 178 small certificates Of
award, for being neither absent or tardy
during school month, were issued.
% large certificates of award were
issued, to pupils who had received four
small certificates.
ROLL OF HONOR.
Following is the list of those who
we're neither absent or tardy during the
month ending June 9th:
Albert Bally. Blanche Bal)y.

TO OPEN BROADWAY.
Petition Rejected by the Council on
Technical Grounds.

At the meeting OF the council last
Monday evening the petition by property
owners along Broadway, asking for the
opening and grading of that street was
considered. Village Attorney Titus, to
whom the matter had been referred, ad.
vised the council that the law under
which this petition was drawn does not
apply to the building and grading of
streets, but has reference only to the
construction of sidewalks and sewers.
Without going into the merits of the
proposed improvement, it being under
stood that new petition will be pre-
sented, the petition was rejected.
The law for street grading differs con-
siderab]y from that for sidewalk build
ing, particularly in reference to the as
sessment of benefits for such improve
ments. The payment of the cost of
street grading may be extended over
period of five years, divided into five
annual installments, in which case i'm
provement bonds are issued. But this
privilege, If desired, must be petitione1
for by property owners at the time of
asking for the improvement.
The only obstacle in the way of this
proposed improvement is the filling of
the street across the pond; and there is
a diversity of opinion as to the advisa-
bil1ty of undertaking the work on that
account considering the condition tf
village finances. 1t Is suggested thit
the cost, which would be taxed to aG-
joining property, would, in the case of
the lots lying in the pond, be more than
the property is worth. Owners re-
fusing to pay, that portion of the cost
would have to be paid from the general
fund of the village.
But some way may be devised to avoid
this contingency and leave no h1ndrance
in the way of the improvement. A ma
jorlty Of the property owners want the
street opened up.

The Nester tug Vigilant came in the
first of the week with the boom sticks
and other material for rafting their logs.
The work of rafting will begin next
week. The company has about five
million feet on the bank here, and they
expect to put these logs into the water
and start them across the lake in about
three weeks.
What to do with the pond is being an
swered in new way that finds some
earnest advocates in the village. The
suggestion is to condemn the submerged
land for park purposes. Then fill in and
beautlfy strip surrounding the pond.
The practice of dumping garbage there
could then be easily stopped; thus trans
forming this present public nuisance in
to thing of beauty and joy to the
villagers. What do you think of the
suggestion?

VETERAN Y OF THE CIVIL WAR,
r. DIES SUDDENLY.

The Summons Interrupts Preparations
to Attend Reunion of His Old Regi-
ment. the First Minnesota. Once
Resident of Cook County.
Col. William Co]vill is dead.
He was found dead Tuesday morning
at the Soldiers Home in Minneapolis,
where he had gone preparatory to taking
part in the annual reunion of the FIRST
Minnesota.
Citizens Of Cook county remember
this battle-scarred veteran, who not
many years ago called this his home,
having settled on a homestead ic this
county and expended freely bis energy
and his money in the performance Of his
part IN the development of local re-
sources. It is this that attaches special
local interest to a name that is written
indelibly on the pages of the nations
history.
In connection with the published &C.
count of Col. Colvill's death is given the
following brief sketch of his military
career:
The First Minnesota was the first regi-
ment offered to President Lincoln in
the Civil war. Alexander Ramsey, then
governor of Minnesota, was in Wash.
ington on the evening of Saturday,
April 13, 1861, when the news of the
surrender of Fort Sumter reached there.
The next morning he went up to the
war department and met Secretary
Cameron, about to leave to call upon
President Lincoln. He made the ten
der of regiment, and was asked to put
1t in writing. This he did, and Secre-
tary Cameron at once carried it to the
president.
In the organization of the regiment
Col: Colvill entered as captain of Co. F,
made up of Goodhue volunteers. June
Il they were ordered to Washington.
Then began their participation IN an
eventful series of battles.
At Glendale Capt. Colvill was desper-
ately wounded. In his history of the
First Minnesota Judge Lochren says of
the incident: "But with that impertur-
liability for which he was always distin-
gulshed, he gave no sign of being hurt
and turned his command over to his
lieutenant as if for few minutes ab-
sence, and 20 one knew until next morn
ing that he was hurt, when he was heard
from as having walked to the field hos
pital at Malvern hill"
The regiment was afterward at Antie-

tam and Harrison's landing. September
2, 1862, Maj. Colvill, as he then was,
became lieutenant colonel. Fredericks-
burg with it's slckening horrors followed
and then Charlottesville was partlci-
pated in. In May, 1863, Col. Colvin be-
came commander of the regiment and
soon after came the Gettysburg cam
paign. - - j ~
July 2 came the terrible charge when
the regiment, numbering 262 men, vas
hurled against tho whole front of the
Confederate army to gain a few minutes
time for the temporarily demoralized
Union army. The command to charge
ment death or wounds to practically
every man, and every man knew it; but
there was not moment of faltering.
They accomplished what Gen. Hancock
wanted but the cost was a terrible one,
for out of 262 men who went in, but AZ
emerged in line. On the field lay 215
dead and wounded-not one man failed
to obey the desperate order.
Col. Colvill was terribly wounded and
never saw active service after that. The
remnant of the regiment took part in
other engagements but the following
winter it was ordered home. Col. Colvill,
though disabled, took command of the
regiment and returned with it to Min
nesota. The b1evet rank of brigadier
general was conferred upon him. Judge
Lochren, in his history of the regiment,
says:
"Never was brevet more fully earned.
nor bestowed on more gallant and de-
serving soldier. Liberally educated, a
lawyer in good practice before the war,
and naturally studious, he mastered
without effort knowledge of tactics, reg
ulations and everything pertaining to
the duties devolving upon hin. But he
was the most modest of men, without a
trace of arrogance, always kind and con-
siderate toward everyone, and ever
watchful for the comfort and welfare Of
his men. Careless of everything IN the
nature OF mere Display, he would not,
perhaps. attract notice at q review, but
on the battlefield he always rose to his
full height of six feet and five inches,
the bravest, coolest and most impertur-
bable of commanders, whom nothing
ever daunted or surprised. He was just
the man to lead the charge made by the
regiment at Gettysburg, aud had. as
such man always has, the fullest love
and confidence of those whom he COM
manded."
Since the war Col. Colvill lived most
of the time at Red Wing. He served
a term as register of the land Office at
Duluth, and IN the early '90s settled on
q homestead seven miles west of Grand
Marais. He built resided there,
for several years and then went back to
Red Wing, making his home there since.
