Akeley Team "Flunks."

For some reason unknown to
the local baseball management
the Akeley ball team failed to
put in an appearance last Satur
day evening, and there was no
game Sunday.
All arrangements had been
made for a game with Akeley
Sunday afternoon, and the 'fans"
of the city were disappointed in
not having their weekly diversie n
of roasting the umpire and doing
some strenuous roofing.
A number Of scrub players got
together at the grounds and
there was some tall work done
for a few hours. The Pioneer
was not furnished with the score,
and was not informed as to which
side won the game.

A Woman md $40.

You give woman $40 and then Dor.
row ~ cents from her and see what
will happen. Two days later you casu-
ally inquire what has become of the
$40. She tells you she has not had $40.
You waive the question whether she
ever had $40 and ask her if she has
$40 now, and finally get a reluctant
admission that she is penniless. TheD
you follow up the inquiry and discover
that she has bought nothing. Then you
are ready with the final charge, "What,
then, did you do with the $10?" and
that blessed woman will come back at
you like this, 'You gave me $40 and
then borrowed it back" That is the
way your Y cents becomes a boomer
ang that smashes you and your $40 to
smithereens. And yet, in spite Of all,
that same woman will hang on to SO
cents and get more out Of it and make
it do more things and spread it round
over more clothes and keep it simmer
ing like bubbling spring-in short,
take her all in all, a woman is the mas
ter fnancier of the world.-Judge.

BIG DRAINAGE
PLAN MATCHING
Government and State to Work
Together In Retaining Red
Lake SWamps.

Washington, July 16.-The
reclamation service has some
good things in store for Mime
sofa. 1t is going to adopt the
idea Of the Stevenson bill, which
seeks to employ money derived
from the sale of government
lands in Minnesota to drain
swamp lands owned by the state.
1t is desirable, however, that
whatever is undertaken in this
way shall be done Systematically.
The government has provided for
a Typographical survey of the
Red Lake reservation and the
engineers are already on the
ground preparing for that work.
Fifteen thousand dollars have
been appropriated by congress
for this survey with a view to
draining the reservation lands.
1t is apparent, however. that
the work of draining the reserva
ton cannot be as successfully
accomplished if it is confined to
the reservation alone as it would
be if it were carried out as a part
of a general scheme for the
drainage of all lands capable of
being effectually drained in that
part Of the state.
So it is proposed by the re.
clamation service that the state
of Minnesota Appropriate an ad-
ditional SIS, 900, which, it is est.
mated, will be sufficient to extend
the work of the government sur
veyors over the state lands and
other lands which it is desired to
drain. The government engi
neers will then lay out general
and practical scheme for the
whole undertaking and have the
data ready for presentation to
the first term of the next con-
gress.
Another fact of interest in con-
nection with this scheme for a
comprehensive system of drain
age under government rather
than state control is the proba.
5ility that considerable water
which now finds it's way into the
Red Lake Basin and Red River
valley may be diverted into the
Mississippi.
The engineering department
is DESTROYS of obtaining this extra
supply of water for the advant-
age which it will be to navigation
as we'll as to the water-powers
developed at various points along
the river.
