On the Way to
Port1and>*
Lake Andrew Scribbler" Tells of the
Interesting Sights on His Journey.

From Salt Lake City north the
ground was covered with deep layer
of snow. People there said it was the
heaviest snow fall they had seen for
many years Cattle were suffering
severely, wading around in the snow
up to their knees and digging down
thru the snow for the dead grass.
No stables or shelter of any kind
could be seen.
Darkness finally settled over the
dreary scene, and I prepared for a
good nights rest. The car was fitted
out with reclining chairs which could
be pulled down so as to make a COM
Portable couch. L pulled off my shoes,
hat and coat and cuddled down to
sleep till morning. But had reckon
ed without the host that time. At
G]en's Ferry, down between the noun
tains along the Snake river in Idaho,
I was. awakened by tremendous
whistling. I don't know how many
locomotives were whistling, but have
never before heard such roar. One
very coarse whistle was giving short
toots, like the baying of a great hound,
and others were keeping up con-
tinuous roar. I started up in hurry
and pulled on my shoes-on the wrong
foot, of course. If had had dozen
feet and the corresponding number of
shoes [ believe every shoe would have
been on the wrong foot. I showed up
the curtain, expecting to see great
conflagration, but nothing could be
seen. A glance about the coach show
ed me was not the only one to make
hasty preparations to enjoy this mid
night serenade, as coats, shoes, hats
and women's apparel were on exhibit
ton all over the car. Everybody was
trying to speak, as could tell by the
motions of their lips, but not a sound
of a voice could be heard in that in
ferno of whistling. Remembering
some experiences from Lake Andrew,
I said to myself: ''Maybe somebody
has got married." Looking at my
watch found it was five minutes past
twelve. The noise had continued for
ten minutes, and was only a greeting
to the new year. then twisted around
for another nap, saying to myself:
''This beats the Lake Andrew band
all to pieces" No more sleep that
night. At daybreak we found our
selves winding along the Snake river
in Idaho, with lots of snow making it
difficult for the train to get thru. Then
over the Blue mountains, on the other
side of which the snow was fast dis
appearing till we reached Columbia
river, where there was no more snow.
While crossing these ridges we could
see no signs of inhabitants, except
some Indian tepees. I saw twelve
blanketed Indians on horseback
climbing the mountains on a hunting
trip Along the Columbia river for 8
distance of about $50 miles was nothing
but barren sand desert. This sane
blows up in banks and drifts, just like
Minnesota snow drifts. Fences were
put up for protection, and when {
fence is buried another is put up or
top, till immense banks are made.
Now in thru Oregon. Approaching

COUNTY TEACHERS
Notice of Teachers Examlna
lions and PROGRAM.

To the Teachers of Kandiyohi Ooun-
ty:
There is only small balance of
the apDropr alton set aside for con-
Quoting the teachers examinations.
For that reason. the Department of
Public instruction finds it will be
necessary to limit the examines to
those who are new applicants and do
not already hold a state certificate.
Those holding conditional or limited
STATE certificates which expire
March l. 1906. and those holding COM
plete first or second grade certificates
expiring on that date should send
them to this Office not later than Jan
uary %. 1906.
On the recommendation of the coun-
tv superintendent these certificates
will be renewed. or those which can
not be renewed will be extended and
made valid until September /. 1906.
It is of course not intended that any
teacher shall be excluded from taking
the examination. but in order to lin.
it and reduce the cost of reading pa
Ders and to cause the least interrun-
ton of schools which are in session.
this plan is suggested.
The examinations will be held at
the high school building in Willmar
on January rs. 26 and ~.

The Maier boys of Harrison brought
in the carcass of a wolf last Friday
which they had shot just short dis
lance east of the village. They first
saw the animal the day previous and
had shot it in four different places
about the legs, but did not succeed in
killing it until the next day: It came
from the Diamond Lake woods. The
necessary certificate was secured from
the town clerk on Monday, and the
same day August NJ aier went to Will
mar to get the $40 bounty. It is re-
ported that wolves are quite numerous
in the Green Lake woods this winter.

Of Their Money in Chicago
Bank-Payment

Chicago, Aug. 22-Judge> Brentano
issued an order permitting Receiver
Fetzer to pay dividend of 20 per cent
to all depositors in the Milwaukee
Avenue State Bank. Payments began
Saturday.
The Polish National Alliance of the
United States of North America has
filed bill in the superior court here
asking that another receiver for the
Milwaukee Avenue State Bank be APP
pointed. John c. Fetzer, present re-
ceiver of the bank, who was appointed
by Judge Brentano recently, is made
a party to the suit.
The bill asks that Judge Brentano
set aside judgment entered in the
circuit court by Judge Gibbons, in
favor of T. T. Eide, against the bank.
The bill is based on the allegation
that the alliance has $4,000 deposited
in the bank, that under the insurance
act to 1898 these are exempt funds,
being death benefits, and should be
separated from othey funds in the
bank. The bill also Alleges that the
alliance represents the majority of the
creditors of the bank, and that it's in
terest should be protected by the
courts.
Ellis E. Drake, who was in control
of the Garfield Park bank, for which
a receiver was appointed by Federal
Judge Bethea yesterday. gave notice
today that he would ask that the re-
ownership be set aside Drake de-
clared that he can show ample Sc
curities and can prove the needless
ness of receiver. Receiver Heistand
today appointed Drake custodian of
the property until such time as the
receiver himself can take formal
charge. Notice was given today, tina,
the bank would take advantage of the
law requiring savings depositors to
give thirty days notice before the
withdrawal of funds. Drake today
said that the obligations of the bank
amount to 100000 He says he has
real estate valued at $4,000. It is
declared. however, that much of the
property is incumbered with mort
cages.

y.M.C. A. TO MAKE
TENNIS THE SPORT
Strong Organization of Coun-
try Plans to Branch Out in
the Popular Game.
MANY CHAMPS BEGUN IN Y. N. c. A.

New York. Aug. 22.-Lawn tennis as
a sport for national and international
championship play is to be part of
the programme of the Young Mems
Christian Association of this country.
The scope of the energies that the as
sociation can turn toward furthering
the sport is indicated in the latest sta
tistics of the organization. which num-
bers l.S26 branches and 5S1,9S2 men,
bers in the United States. With such
an organization the draw from. the
impetus given to the tennis courts can
only be imagined.
The first intimation of such a plan
being contemplated came from DR..
John H. Scott. the physical director
yesterday, when he returned from his
vacation. In speaking of the possibil
tiles of such big meetings as the Young
Mems Christian Association might
build up, he pointed out that it could
be relied upon to develop men of the
skill of Beals c. Wright, Holcombe
Ward. Bob Wrenn. William A. Larned
and host Of others who have held
the national title.
The reason for his rosy view of the
possibilities was that along other
branches of sport the association has
become known as 1.-The nursery for
champions" and many of the record
holders on track and field have begun
in the Y. NJ. c. A. ranks.
DR.. Scott is of the opinion that the
sport of lawn tennis is just on the eve
of its awakening in this country. He
believes that the Americans are soon
to surpass the English at the famous
game and regain the coveted Davis
Cup. Those who prejudice has caused
them to regard it in the light of a past
time for women have learned better,
in the estimation of DIR. Scott. The
fast foot work in tournament match
lasting through five sets is fully equal
to fifteen miles on a track by dis
lance runner, and there are compar-
atively few athletes who seek such
heroic sport.

TALK Of COMING
FOOTBALL CHAMPS
Followers of College Game Try
to Figure Out Which School
Will Now Excel.
FOOTBALL QUESTION INVOLVED

New York, Aug. 22.-Now that the
schedules of the leading university
football teams have been published the
close followers OF the gridiron game
are comparing dates in order to dis
cover whether or not it will be possible
this fall to figure out a championship
combination.
Yale will play the Tigers and the
Crimson, but the Quakers will be un-
able to even base claim for suprem-
acy over the Blue by comparative
scores, owing to the fact that the Cam
bridge university team has served foot
ball relations with the Red and Blue
Michigan is to invade Franklin Field
for a game with Pennsylvania, but as
the Wolverines do not tackle either
Chicago or Minnesota the status of the
Westerners will be undermined and
they cannot pose as Western champ
ions.
The one thread upon which such a
claim could be hung is the Carlisle
Indian team. The Red Men have
entered the arena more boldly than
ever this year and play against some of
the strongest of the Eastern and West
ern elevens. Carlisle is scheduled to
meet both Pennsylvania and Harvard
during the Eastern play also Min
nesota in the West AS Harvard OPP
poses Yale and the Ellis oppose Prince
ton, roundabout comparison may be
possible under certain winning COM
binations. Minnesota plays Chicago.
which may allow a line to be gathered
on the ability of the Maroon. but taken
as whole, however. the football
situation appears to be so involved that
the question of which eleven is the
strongest is likely to be unsolved
during the season of 1906.
