BUSINESS MEN PLAN
NEW LINE FOR THE 500
Suggest Value Of Road Extending from
Minneapolis to International Falls
soo's Consent All that Is Lacking.

Some of the business men Of Mime
apolis have set another task for the
500 line. They want the management
to build line from Minneapolis to the
international border thru part Of
Minnesota that is without railroad
facilities, and which, would garner
rich harvest for the railroad as we'll as
for Minneapolis jobbers and manu-
facturers. ..s
One Of the most eager Of the coterie
which wants the new line traced the
route as follows: Minneapolis to
Champlin, to Anoka, up the Rum river,
thru St. Francis, Spencer, Brook, cross
ing the Great Northern at Ogilvie and
traversing the townsites of Eastwood,
on Mile Laos and Malmo; crossing the
Northern Pacific near Kimberly, and
the Great Northern again at Grand
| Rapids; from this point, northeasterly
and east Of Wabano lake; across the
Big Fork at Deer lake and then Little
Fork and striking northwesterly again
at the east end Of Lake Kab-et- togoma
to International Falls. e,
/ The argument for this line is that
/ it passes thru a country which is rich
in agricultural possibilities and which
lis heavily wooded. BY building this
all the timber it needs for ties, Riline
and bridge work on its Dakota lines
i which it now gets in Wisconsin ant
Michigan and which requires a lon&
haul for use.

scheme is not yet on file.

VETE1 AN RISKS LIFE TO
RESCUE SMALL BOY
CAPTAIN w. H. Leav1tt Wades Into
Basset Greek Tunnel and Saves Life
of Five-Year-Old Hallam Harris.

Captain W. Hheavitt, 60 years old,
an old river captain, and a veteran
of the civil war, has proved that the
fires of heroism still burn bright in his
breast.
Little Hallam Harris, 5 years old,
was playing around Faubert' 8 tannery
Friday. He fell into Basset. creek,
which is now high and swift, and was
sucked into the oulvert, under the tan
merry. He was swept along thru the
dark tunnel aand q few feet farther
he was carried under the Northwestern
Knitting company factory, where he
lodged against bunch. Of driftwood.
A brother of the boy had called for
help and a crowd of men and boys
gathered at the opening OF the tunnel
discussing all sorts of ways for rescue.
just as it was proposed to build raft
and float thru in search Of the boy,
Captain Leavitt appeared and shouted:
ri I'll build raft. '5..,
Z The. captain waded into the creek
and began the fearsome expedition thru
the tunnel. Hearing the boys weak
vail he breasted the food and caught
young Harris just in the nick Of time,
and soon returned him to the mouth Of
the tunnel. - -~..-.-rs.. sts2L*"

VILLAGE OF WAYZATA
BECOMES IMPORTANT
Railway Steamers, and Trolley Company
Will Compete for Pretty Towns
Business-New Piers To Be Built.


With two transportation companies
contesting for it's business, Wayzata
bids fair to experience boom this sum-
mer. After being off the map for
years because the Great Northern chose
to build the station half a mile out of
town, the change will be welcome.
Now the Great Northern, has fine,
new. station in the heart of the town
and will build this spring big public
pier and steamer landing, rooted over
and provided with all modern zappli-
ances. But the Great Northern is to
have competition. The village council
and the street railway company have
made an agreement whereby a largo
public dock will be erected as soon as
the ice goes out, at the site tof the pres
ent town dock. The village will stand
part Of the expense Of building, but the
dock will be maintained and kept in
repair by the company. 49,

POLICE. PUZZLE OVER
~. BODIES or SIX DOGS
Field on North Side Is Strewn with
= Canine Victims Of Somebody Who
Has No Time for Pets.

Another sextuple murder is worrying
the detectives at police headquarters
and since the bodies were discovered
last evening not clue leading to so,
luton of the affair has been found and:
the case still remains mystery.
The bodies were those Of six dogs OF
different colors and sizes that were
found in vacant field on Twentieth
avenue N last night. A working man
was returning home and crossed the
field to save time. He found the bodies
of two dogs lying near the path and his
curiosity being aroused he decided to
investigate further. He found the six
in different parts Of the field and re-
ported the matter to the police.
No one could be found last night who
had owned any Of the animals, but it
is thought that poisoner has been at
work because of some old grudge or
general hatred of dogs. The case will
be turned over to the health depart
ment Monday for investigation.

trains, one loaded with the families
that have been hired to work in that

success In st. Paul and Minneapolis in
getting hand-workers to help in the
cultivation of sugar beets for his COM
pany. He expects to take out about
1900 persons over IL years of age. The
applicants have come from nearly all
nationalities and they all seem to be
eager for work. An advantage in ac-
cepting the sugar company's offer is
that families can live and work to-
gether.
Work Is Plentiful.
The work for which these people have
been hired is hoeing and wedding. This
work will take four months, from May
/ to Aug l. After that the people can
find employment at from So to $3.50
a day in the hay and harvest fields, and
all winter in feeding sheep and cattle,
so that the emigration is probably a
permanent one.
The families will be paid $40 an acre
for their work. The company furnishes
a house suitable for each family and
also garden plots in which to raise
vegetables. One family, that of Henry
Brenning Of Minneapolis, can make
81 900 in the season. It has eight
grown persons, and each can work at
least seven acres.
The Northern Pacific special train
which will take out the twin city fami
lies will stop at St. Cloud, Mandan and
Dickinson for recruits. ,.%
