The Milroy Echo celebrated it's
fourth birthday last week, and if by
its strenuous and masculine appear
ance we have correctly guessed its
sex, it will henceforth visit its read
ers in short pants, its worthy editor
having promised a new suit. The
Echo is a credit to its management,
and is always welcome.
GAINESVILLE Argus: w. R. Cahill
returned from Flathead county,
Montana, last week after an absence
of about two weeks. He has re-
Gently purchased, in that county,
eight hundred and forty acres of
timbered land that is covered with
choice pine. He has also purchased
the output Of mill that will cut
about a million feet a year. His
business was to look after his inter-
ests, which were found to be all
right and in a fourishing condition.
We should Judge that Mr. Cahill has
made a timely hit in securing this
property and business. There is not
a particle Of doubt that he will
make we'll out of the deal and ac-
cordingly his friends here heartily
congratulate him.
Bert Bingham, assistant postmas-
ter, left Tracy last week Tuesday
with a suddenness that aroused
suspicion in the mind of his superior,
Postmaster Edwards, that his con-
duct of the office was not just what
it should be, and an Inspector was
at once sent for. For three days
the affairs of the office were given
a thorough over-hauling and each
department was found in a most
miserable tangle. There is some
shortage but the exact amount can
not be ascertained until the Depart
ment checks up at Washington Mr..
Edwards is of the opinion that the
shortage was not on account of
dishonesty, but came thru careless
ness in not keeping up his work and
not making his reports promptly.
The peculiar feature of the affair
is that Mr.. Edwards was taken so
by surprise in finding himself in this
mix-up.
Lovers of piscatorial sport will be
interested in the following bit of
history from the New Ulm Journal
which may sound a bit fshy to some:
From the great abundance of carp
in the Minnesota river at the pres
ent time, some will be surprised to
be informed that the fish is not
native Of this portion of the state,
but is really the progeny of a small
fish pond constructed near the
Hauenstein brewery some twenty
three years ago. This is a fact
nevertheless. During that year
Father Berghold and John Hauen-
stein had small fish pond con-
structed near the brewery and Sc
cured number Of carp and placed
them therein. The following spring,
when the high water period was
experienced, the dam retaining the
water in the fish pond gave way and
the carp became inhabitants of the
Minnesota and Cottonwood. At this
time there are thousands of carp in
these rivers, and there has been
much written of late years as to
the possibility of this species of the
finny tribe carrying typhoid germs
and transferring the contagion to
members of the human family. 1t
is well known that this species of
fish belong to the scavenger tribe,
living on decayed vegetable matter.
