show of capturing the Office.
Taking it all around Tuesdays pro-

the great attraction was the Veteran

school is progressing nicely and thirty
five little ones enrolled. The Elma
Smith company contributed in the at
ternoon and evening and Skoovegaard

again. Pitt Parker was another good
attraction. He is highly entertaining
and some of his rapid drawings with
chalk are marvellous.
Mrs. j. NJ. SandersOn was the guest
of Mrs. George Nayldf at her tent for
a few days and has now returned
home.
This year six graduates will be

HISTORIC POINT.
New Interest In Aaron Burr's Old
Stamping Ground.

Stamping Ground.
History in way will repeat itself
in this old town with the building Of
the Lake Erie & Ohio Ship canal. The
town was once the terminal for an en-
ormous canal boat business. 1t was
here that the freight was transferred
from the canal boats to the Ohio river
steamers and vice versa. The town is
located at the mouth of the Beaver
river and Is one of the most advnatag-
eous points on the route of the pro-
posed big canal.
Bridgewater was laid out under the
same act of legislature as was Beaver,
that of September Is, 1891. 1t was a
reservation Of the state in lots of 10
acres. The land was purchased by
Judge Alexander Allison the deed be-
ing on record in the court house at
Beaver. His heirs sold big portion
of 1t to James w. Hemphill. in 1881,
about the time the Beaver & Erie canal
was an assured ct.
Then the place began to thrive. Ware
houses were erected and it was no I'M
common sight to see the mouth of the
Beaver river filled with canal boats
laden with freight from Lake Erie
points, with the noses of the Ohio riv-
err steamers touching them and having
freight transferred. destined to Pitts
burg and southern points.
The most important business and
manufacturing plants Of these early
days were foundries. One was known
as the Bannon foundry and the other
was operated by Robert Darragh,
grandfather of former Judge Edwin
H. Stowe of Pittsburg Commission
and forwarding firms were numerous
and there was great competition in
bushes.
Bridgewater at one time occupied
place in National history. 1t was here
that Aaron Burr in 1905 built some of
his boats for his southern expedition.
A few years ago there were persons
still living who had met and conversed
with the foe of Alexander Hamilton.
From here Burr took his boats down
the Ohio to Blennerhasset Island, just
below Parkersburg, w. Va. His ex-
petition was planned against the
French and Spanish in Louisiana and
Mexico. BY some his motives were
construed to be against the United
States government. and he was later
arrested in Kentucky. He was tried
but acquitted.
The warehouses were located on the
banks Of the Beaver river Business
became SO great that the firm of Reed,

With the building of the railroads

good things which they expect the ship

an industrial awakening and CONNER

that they have one of the best locations
and there is no reason to doubt but
what their most sanguine hopes will
be fulfilled. Within the next few

railway construction as there is today.
There are now between 5000 and 5000
miles of railway under actual or PROS

new Grand Trunk-Pacific system. This

Grand Army Day, July 10.

Grand Army day at the Chautauqua
was disappointment in point OF at
tendance of the odd vets" for there
was hardly corporals guard of them
here. One of the directors gave as a
reason, mot enough advertising and
not enough attention given to it. Why
you will notice there is hardly decor
alton in their honor" True-there
were not many flags in evidence, or
much enthusiasm manifested.
The excursion from Crookston and
Grand Forks was a disappointment
also. Only few came in and Grand
Forks city was hardly represented.
The day was magnificent one for
an outing too. Major General o. o.
Howard the great civil war general
came as advertised and was great
treat to the old comrades who heard
him and the rest of the audience as
we'll.
The general addressed the audience
at the round table in the morning first:
taking for the subject of his story
"The Shipwreck" and drew as his con-
clusion, splendid representation Of
the great fact of Gods hearing and
answering prayer.
At three o'clock in the afternoon he
addressed a large audience at the
auditorium on "The Civil War"
He began with the young soldiers
starting out from home for the war.
The parting with friends and dear
ones; the march through Baltimore:
sleeping on an armory floor; break
fast at Willards: talk to his men on
"strong drink or prayer: before the
battle of Bull Run. Then came a
brief history of the battles of Bull
Run, Fair Oaks, Gettysburg, the bat
ties about Chattanooga. the campaign
of Atlanta. of the sea. of the Carolinas,
and last the great review at Wash
ington.
In all of these the general took ac-
tive part. In giving the histories of
the various battles, he recOunted in
teresting incidents of each, personal
experiences, tales of Sargent at Mis-
sion Ridge; Mcdonald at Colton's
Farm, Harry Stinson. Captain Duncan,
Lieutenant Taylor's wound. the con-
federate chaplain and various tales
familiar to the old soldier but ever
new when told by such an eye witness
and participant in many of them as
the general has been. He is an in
teresting speaker and his tales told
with feeling and the good points
brought out with such effect, makes
his lectures a moral benefit to the
younger generation as we'll as so in
teresting to his old comrades.
General Howard is the greatest liv-
