SEEKS RIGHT OF WAY.
Dakota Midland President Looks After
Local Aid.

Wakonda, 8. D., Aug. 24.-L. A. Gid
dings, president of the Dakota Midland,
has been in consultation with citizens
regarding right of way for his road.
He proposed to have the road pas,
through Wakonda and Irene and, al
though the survey as now made passes
about two miles east of here, President
Giddings says If the right of way is
donated the road will be built into
Wakonda. He says that the road will
connect with the Illinois Central at
Merrill, Iowa, and that large amount
of grading will be done this fall. He
guarantees to have the road in opera
ton by Jan. 1 1908, and stated fur
Their that If Irene and Wakonda accept
his proposal, he will guarantee that
no new town is established closer than
Dalesburg, fourteen miles distant.
1t is estimated that it will require
about $4,000 to meet the demands of
the company, or about $500 from
each town. No definite action has
been taken.

Frazee, Mimi, Aug. 24.-Frazee citi-

Postmaster Edward Gummer's resi-

Dan Lucas farm: and the other
through Edward Briggs farm and Mrs.

tail river. The contractors northwest
of town have continued on the old
grade, which they are widening for
double tracks, with the exception of
one contractor, who ceased work on
his contract, which is near town.
Either of the new surveys may mean
the moving Of the station to the Peli-
can road south of the present location.
Frazee has high, serpine grade
and crossing, which have been an ex-
pensive part of the Northern Pacific
system. The present grade crossing Is
dangerous, and several accidents have
occurred, which have cost the COM
pany at least 100000.
Lots and residences on the south
side of town are booming in conse-

that the cutoff will be built, and the

The Story of .Luckyn Baldwin.

In 1858, or more than half century
ago, little party of gold seekers with
meager outfit of horses and wagons
started for California from the village
of Racine, Wis. In command of this
adventurous expedition was a young
man who took with him his wife and
infant daughter. His name was E.
j. Baldwin and he made wise choice
In shaking from his restless feet the
dust of tanner civilization. He need
ed larger theater of action for his
pent-up and surging activities. While
trailing through the mountains of
Utah the pioneers were attacked by
Indians, who were beaten off during
a six-hour fight in which young Bald
win killed their chief. After six
months of hardship the party reached
Hangtown Qater called Placerville)
in California
Here Baldwin tarried and began
placer mining. He appears to have
been no more than an ordinary red
shirted argonaut, meeting the ups and
downs of mining luck, until the dis
covery of the Comstock Lode at Vir-
ginia City. Thither he drifted and dis
covered that his natural bent was
gambling with the mines that other
men had opened. Amid a whirlwind
of speculation he fought from the
smoke in few months as Lucky"
Baldwin, the man who had cleaned up
seven and half million dollars in the
gigantic deals in the stock of the On

San Francisco was the Mecca of
those lucky sons of fortune who were
rearing great city by the Golden
Gate. AS a stock and mining specu-
lator Lucky" Baldwin shown re-
splendent, but he was also loyal son
of San Francisco. He built hotels and
theaters and business blocks, even
while he was amazing that farm from
conservative community by madly
freakish extravagances.
In very lucid interval he bought
all the Spanish grants he could find
near Los Angeles and spent million
in making this ranch of his not only
a splendidly productive property, but
also one of the most beautiful estates
ever laid out in this or any other coun-
try. 1t was his hobby, his pet, and he
planted miles of avenues with noble
shade trees and made wonderful tropi-
cal gardens, SO that today his home
is surrounded by paradise of vernal

Dietz will never give up his position
at Thornapple dam and he will never
be taken alive or without a great loss
of life among the attacking party"
This statement. made by Adolph
Johnson, Minneapolis lawyer, is inter-
esting in view of the fact that he has
just returned from Sawyer county,
Wisconsin. where he Investigated the
conditions and studied sentiment re-
lative to the famous holder of the dam
in defiance of lumber companies and
state authorities. Mr.. johnson talked
with William Dietz. brother of John,
and public men in Hayward, Lady,
smith. Reserve, Rice Lake and neigh
boring towns.
IF the militia ever attempts to cap
ture Dietz there will be real battle"
continued Mr.. johnson. "The people
of that part of Wisconsin believe that
the man is standing for his rights
and they are almost unanimous in
their sympathy for him. They are even
ready to lend him material aid when
ever he is in need of it. Firearms,
ammunition and supplies are being
sent to him now, and in an emergency
he can command a determined little
army completely stocked with all
munitions necessary for a siege or
conflict.
1T is surprising how many friends
and sympathizers Dietz has all over
the country. Not day passes that
he does not receive letters from var
ious parts of the country advising him
to hold the FORT and offering him
money and other assistance.
"This condition Of public sentiment,
together with the mans determined
and fearless disposition and his strong
natural position, renders his capture
a most dangerous feat and one that
I do not believe will ever be accom-
plished."
