believe the opening prices will be

We are inclined to advise that early

The plans Of the new Methodist
Methodist church to be erected in this
city have practically been decided up
on, though some changes may be
made. It would seem, however, that
nothing could be added or cut out to
make them more complete or better
fitted for the purpose designed.
The plans are the work of Austin
Terryberry of Duluth, an architect
who has great experience ir church
architecture. They contemplate a
building 63x97 feet over all, of Gothic
Romanesque design with a large
square tower 81 feet high, at the
southeast corner, with an open vesti-
bule beneath it as the principal en-
trance to the interior. In addition to
this there will be another entrance on
Thayer street and a third on Fourth
street. && - $fa:5 81. AZ ~
The material Of the building has not

choice lying between Menominee and

and Fourth street fronts are particu.

tains a large rose window, both of
which have been purchased by mem

Making a Revenue-cutter Officer,

Shaw to the graduates of the school

service called attention anew to a
very useful. institution of whose ex
istence many people have been I'M
aware. Hidden away in picturesque
spot on Curtis Creek, in Anne Arundel
county, Md, known as Arundel Cove,
Uncle Sam has a third training-school,
inferior only in size, to the ones at
West Point and Annapolis. At this
school young men who are to COM
mand the treasury's navy, known as
the reVenue-cutter service, are put
through course of training, both
mental and physical, equal to that of
either the army or navy. Compare
lively little is known by the general
public of the .revenue-cutter cadet
school, yet the service itself antedates
the navy, having been. organized in
1880, when it constituted the nations
first naval defense.
The future revenue officer receives
5000 a year during his cadetship,
which covers three years, ten dollars
per month being deducted in order
that he may, upon his graduation,
have to his credit a sufficient sum to
equip himself with the regulation
dress of third lieutenant. He then
receives salary of $1,400 per year.

| "A. Growing Wood PiIe-The prolific
clomate of the ISopes country as ex-
emplified by H. j.. Geierman in his
story at Fargo the other day Of the
fgrowing fence posts,ris confirmed by
the writer, who adds this further
testimony: Some years ago he had
occasion to buy considerable quaint
! ty of cord wood. The wood was cut
| on the banks of one IL, of the small
rivers in the early spring and piled
up on the writer's premises. The
summer. was rather wet and it was
mot long before the wood began to
sprout and by fall the wood pile re-
semb1ed a small grove of elms and
box elders, and attracted considerable
attention from tenderfeet and doubt
ing Thomases like. Weston of Fargo.
The wood was so green that it could
not be used that year, and the fol
lowing spring the branches were cut
OFF and added two cords to the size of
the pile. But such things are mere
Istrifes as compared i to some of the
other wonders Of this growing coun-
| try, and had not Geierman's story
been doubted, this incident would
probably have been forgotten in the
rush Of really wonderful things which
