SUNSHINE FROM THE RAILROAD.

The Northern Pacific railroad has
again generously promised the Sunshine
free transportation for it's guests to the
Mary Davis Sunshine lodge at Forest
Lake this summer. For the past two
seasons this railroad has given the So
ciety on an average Of twelve trips a
week for the season. This year, with
Miss Davis gift, the society can care
for between twenty-five and thirty a
week, and there was some fear that the
Northern Pacific might think this ask
ing too much. Last week one Of the
officers of the road stated there would
be no doubt Of the management contin-
uing its generosity, and assured the So
ciety that everything would be arranged
to carry on the good work to the fullest
extent.
Without the aid Of the Northern
Pacific the society could never have
succeeded in the work as it has. To
these tired women and children the
railroad trip thru the woods and along
the various lakes IS one Of the chief
delights of the outing, and the society
could not afford to pay the transporta-
ton of these women, and the expenses
also of the weeks visit at the cottages.
So the generosity Of the Northern Pa
cifc is one of the principal features of
the Sunshine work.
Many. of these women have not been
On railroad train for years, and there
were several children who had never
had such a ride in their lives. One L.
year-old girl from st. Paul had never
been in a railroad car, and her delight
could not be expressed in words :
Mrs. Alden announced before the Sun
Shine society annual convention In
Brooklyn last month that Minnesota
was the only state in the union where
Sunshiners were given free transporta-
ton for their outing work; told of the
Northern Pacific kindness, and the
whole audience broke intaSapplause.
The society feels now that nothing
can stop the growth Of the good work.

FINANCIAL SUNSHINE.

Last week Sunshine received $40
from a man in Aberdeen, S. D., and
with it he sends the following letter:
Gas an interested reader Of your
Sunshine department in the Minneap-
oils Journal, / desire to place the en-
closed money order Of $40 where it will
do the most good and I hope it may in
some small measure bring little glad
ness and sunshine to some respondent
heart. Please do not mention my
name in any connection with the tran
saction. Wishing you an abundance of
success In your work, I remain
Very truly yours'
The same day Sunshine found at
headquarters a little box holding $1.25,
but there was no name or address. AS
the money was in pennies, dimes and
one quarter, Sunshine thinks it must
be the contents of some child's bank,
and so the money will be spent for the
benefit of some little one who may
need substantial sunshine.
A large part of the money given the
society to carry on the good work
comes with the request that the donors
names not be published, or from I'M
known sources.
Sunshine wishes so much that all who
aid the work would send their names
SO that they can be sent personal letters
Of thanks, at least if they do not wish
their names published. Sunshine is de-
prived Of considerable pleasure in not
being able to express its appreciation
of thoughtfulness and kindness. The
sunshine work is labor Of love and
any aid given brings as much happiness
to the workers as tho it were personal
gift. So give the officers the sun
shine Of thanking you for your gifts.

MRS. DARRoW's RESIGNATION.

Mrs. Noble Darrow, the state presi-
dent for the past year, has been forced
to resign the office, owing to home
duties.
"Once Sunshiner, a Sunshiner for
ever,' SO Mrs. Darrow believes in do
ing all the good work she can. Tho
Sunshine work has grown 50 rapidly,
that it requires very much Of the whole
time Of the president, and Mrs. Darrow
felt, in justice to her family and the
sponsiib'ilities of the presidency longer.
However, the question Of officer
makes little difference in society like
the Sunshine society, and the officers
feel that they will not lose Mrs. Oar
rows enthusiasm nor interest in the
good work, but will find her as ready
and willing to help bring sunshine to
others as Of old.

BOND CANCELLATION
warrant Drawn by County for $3I,-
500 to, Take Up Bonds of
Railroad Company.
Taxpayers Should Feel Highly Craft
fled That This Debt Has
Been Wiped Out.

A warrant for larger amount than
has ever before been written by the
county of Mile Laos was recently
drawn by Auditor Whitney in favor
OF the First National Bank of Prince
ton. This warrant, which called for
S3l, 800, was issued for the purpose of
taking up thirty one-thousand-dolla
bonds of the St. Paul, Minneapolis &
Manitoba Railway company, which
carried interest of five per cent per
annum. The bonds were issued under
an act of the state legislature OF
March 5, 1877, and become due on
July l of this year. They were origi.
nally held by the First National Bank
OF st. Paul and were later purchased
from that institution by the First Ma
tiOnal Bank of Princeton. r.
At the last meeting of the county
commissioners it was ordered that
these bonds be taken up when they
fell due, and it should be matter
of much qualification to the taxpay.
ers to know that this debt, upon which
was paid an annual interest of 81, 500,
has been wiped out.
Mile Laos county was never in such
fine condition financially as it is at

1906 the greatest both in imports and

matter in which he was concerned too
small, to receive his closest attention.
He has been emphatically man of
action. Yet, at the age when most
men are writing their wills and buy
ing lots in the cemetery, Mr.. Hill as
sumes the care of an enterprise which
would stagger the hothouse-p produced
young men of this generation.
1t is safe to conclude, however, that
many of the sturdy characteristics of
the great railroad builder have been
developed by the life of energy and
industry which he lived as young
man. He was not afraid of work. He
did not sit with his feet on the top OF
his desk and grumble because his
work was hard. He did the work and
did it better than anyone else could
do it. It was this method in his
young manhood which developed his
energy and vitality. In this he is an
example worthy of the emulation OF
any young man starting in life. He
is proof of the fact that more men
die of laziness than from over work.

have been filed with the register of

was stones, and is now surprised to
learn that he was working over val

Disastrous Fire In St, Paul.

The six-story Ryan annex building
was completely Quilted by fire which
was discovered shortly afer O'Clock
Sunday morning, and which burned
fiercely all day. The estimated dam
age to the building and the stocks of
the occupants is between $3.50, 600 and
s500,000.
The fire originated in the basement
of the store occupied by the Palace
Clothing company, supposedly from a
defective electric wire. It had gained
great Roadway when the fire depart
ment reached the building, but prob
ably would have been confined to the
basement but for the fact that series
OF gas explosions prevented the fire.

caused the blaze to spread through
out the entire structure.
Several firemen we're badly cut bv

were overcome by heat and smoke.
Ten of these were taken to the hospital
and the rest to their homes. All of
them will recover with the possible ex-
ception of Lieut.. W.. A. Edwards of
Company No. 3, who is reported to be
in a critical condition.. ....
The Ryan hotel is across the alley
from the burned structure, but it was
not damaged and there was no alarm
among the guests at the hotel, most of
whom were up when the fire was dis
covered.

Milaca Mill Will Go to Georgia,

One of the incidents marking the
passing of the lumber industry in
northern Minnesota is the announced
intention to dismantle and ship away
the big lumber mill at Milaca belong
ing to the Foley Bean company. The
mill is to be taken to Georgia, where
it will be set up and started to saving
timber which the firm has acquired
in that state. The mill has sawed a
large amount of lumber there, and has
given employment to many men. The
company's holdings of pine in this
state having been exhausted, however,
nothing remained but to move. The
mill will continue to run until about
the first week in August.

lillian Example.

If those who believe that the work
of the world is being done at the pres
ent day by the young men would take
look at James J. Hill just now they
would in, all probability realize the
mistake that is being made by the ad-
vocates of the Osler theory.
In his sixty-eighth year this man,
who has carved a colossal fortune
from the wilderness, is beginning the
construction of a great trans-conti-
mental railroad. Into this. enterprise
he enters with the zest which marked
his earlier work, while the vigor is
merely accumulated by the experince
of the past.
The case of Hill has no mercy on
DR.. Osler's theory of the age at which
mans usefulness should reach it's
terminal station. A few months ago
Hill announced his purpose to retire
from active business, to get time to
Tread a book or two.' But it is as
difficult for Hill to retire from bust
ness as it is for business to retire
from Hill. Like liberty and union,
they are one and inseparable. Of all
men he'd be the most wretched if, in
his present vigor, he should lay aside
the reins and get down from the
drivers box. It's peaches and cream
tor him to dream great things and go
ahead and do them. He likes to con-
ceive large undertakings and then ex-
ecute them. He thinks in millions
and much more, he acts in millions,
too. He has great creative faculty
"a gift for construction, for develop
ment, for Selling the bull of oppor-
tunity by the horns.
Close up to the psalmist's allotted
limit OF life, he now begins the execu-
ton of great project. The Great
Northern railroad, which stops where
the Pacific ocean begins, and which is
supplemented by steamship line to
the orient, will long remain a great
monument to his memory. But he
proposes to erect another monument
just as great. Any reports about his
retiring from business yet awhile
should be taken with a hogshead of
salt.
It would be worth the while of the
man who believes that his usefulness
is ended at fifty or sixty years of age
to keep in mind the example Of Mr..
Hill. he has always been man of
untiring energy and indomitable will.
No undertaking was too great, no

ton, will be reconstructed, and that
upon August i, 1906, the new order
will go into effect provided that the
roads are in such condition as shall
comply with the regulations of the
general postofice. Under the pro-
posed arrangement only a small part
of route as now constituted will en-
ter into the new route 3. A route
from Zimmerman will cover the re-
naming territory. Over the contem-
plated new route will be carried
daily closed pouch from the Prince
ton postoffice to Spencer Brook. The
length of the route will be 2756 miles,
the number of houses supplied lob,
and the population is 500. From it's
start at Princeton to it's return to the
same point it will run as follows:
Beginning at the postoffice, the car
rier will go south to town limits,
southeasterly to southwest corner Sec
ton 3, east to center south line of Sec
ton 3, south to center of section 10,
east to center west half of section s,

It is now up to the farmers and
others living along this proposed new
route to say whether it shall be estab-
lished or not. We are authorized to
state that unless the roads are greatly
improved between now and August l
the government will not permit the
route to be started; and, furthermore,
that the route now in existence will
be cut off unless the highways are
placed in thorough repair.

WHITE EARTH RESERVATION.
Legislation Will Result III Opening 1t

Legislation Will Result In Opening Its
Lands to Settlers.
A dispatch from WASHINGTON says
that the Indian appropriation bill
which was finally acted upon by the
house carries some of the most i'm
portant legislation affecting the Chip
pewas of Minnesota enacted since the
Morris bill became a law. One
amendment put in the bill in the SEN
ate will result in opening up the White
Earth reservation to white settlers.
It provides that all trust patents is
sued to mixed bloods on the reserva-
tion shall have full force and effect
of fee patent, carrying with it the
right to sell land now tied up. 1t is
said that under this provision 1900
Indians will be enabled to sell their
holdings.
AS fullbloods, they are to receive
fee patents when the secretary of the
interior is satisfied that they are cap
able of managing their own affairs.
The second amendments extend the
time when purchasers of Red Lake
lands shall make the prescribed pay
ments by one year. Another amend
ment of interest in all the Indian
country provides that no land &C
quired under the provisions of the
general allotment act shall become
liable to the satisfaction of any debt
contracted prior to the issue of the
final patent, and that no money &C.
cruing from any lease or sale of lands
held in trust for any adult or minor
Indian shall become liable for any
debt contracted during the trust con-
sent of the secretary of the interior.
Provision is made for the transfer
of Cooper island, known locally as
Star island, in Cass lake, to the state
of Minnesota for park purposes, with
the proviso that it may be transferred
to the state upon terms to be agreed
upon between the secretary of the in
terror and the governor.
An appropriation of ST. O5O is made
for drainage investigation on Indian
lands in the state. The above provis-
ions are in addition to the ordinary
appropriations for the maintenance of
schools and carrying out treaty obi
cations with the Chippewas.
