COVE FEELS LIKE BOOMING.

Cove Cor. in Milaca Times: At
last it looks as if the lake country
was to have a railroad. at least all
appearances point tt at way. A crew
Of surveyors ars at work in this town
at present 4 preliminary line has
been run which goes about one-half
mile south Of Isle, eighty rods south
of Lawrence and one and three
fourtns miles south Of Cove bay and
crosses the Bum river about sixty rods
below Onamis. Now another line is
being run about fifty rods north of
the first. NO ties have as yet been
bought in this vicinity although state
ments to the contrary have been made.
Cove is destined to be the leading city
in the northern part of the county,
if not of the entire county, being
located on the best protected harbor
on the lake which is surrounded by q
beautiful shore perfectly adapted to
summer residence. Unltss the survey
is considerably charged the railroad
will not come close enough to cut up
the beautiful shore property, but close
enough for all business purposes
Being located on the new state road
from Milaca it is tributary to one OF
the finest farming sectio ons of the
county. Also the closest point on the
proposed road to the west side of the
lake.

WATCHES AND JEWELRY WE'RE
SAFE.

After the recent fire in the Vasaly
block we had many inquiries as to the
safety of jewelry, watches, etc., which
had been left with us for repair. We
wish to state that no piece of jewelry
or any other valuable belonging to our
many customers was removed from
the premises These articles are kept
in fire and burglar. proof safe, which
will stand an eight-hour drilling, and
to further protect the contents the safe
is enclosed in a 6re-proof vault of
stone and brick. Valuables contained
in this safe could go through the hot
test of fires without being damaged in
the least. We also wish to state that
through the careful handling of our
goods, including chinaware, silver
ware, clocks, furniture. etc., by our
friends, very little damage was sus-
tained. Our first thought is always
to protect our customers' goods and 30
fear can be felt when goods for repair
are left in our possession.
Yours respectfully,
Spirit j. Vasaly.
Diamond Sign Jeweler.

MILO GETTING BUSY
Representative Milo Young
Wants the New Members
to Get Together

The St. Paul correspondent of the
Duluth Herald says:
representative Milo 81. Young OF
Swan River. has been taking up the
idea of an organization of the rev
members Of the house, in order that
they may be more sure Of their grcuad
on pending matters of legislation
He has received considerable encour-
agement from the new members with
whom he has talked, and the orgsn1-
cation is likely to be perfected at an
early date.
1t is not that the new members are
suspicious Of the old ones, bat as Mr..
Young puts it, the Interests, are
likely to be very much in evidence
during the session, and old members
are more likely to have 'entangling
alliances than new ones. Therefore
he evolved the scheme of organizing
the new members for the discussion
ct pending measures, and the scheme
seems to have taken we'll with the
new members.

500 IS COMING
According to Reliable, Al
though Unofficial, Infor-
nation Lately Received

The SOP will build an air line to
Dulatb, starting at either New
Paynesville or Belgrade, MINI. The
line will run across country according
to the best Of several surveys now
being made. It will cross the Missis-
sippi river at some point, not yet
selected, bstween Royalton and Little
Falls. It will be graded and ballasted
in such manner SO as to accommodate
the longest and heaviest of freight
trains. It it does not touch Little
Falls, branch line or feeder will in
all probability be built to this city.
While this is not an official an
nouncement, it comes from good au.
thority through local delegation of
representative business men and capi-
talists VINO waited uyon the manage
ment Of the 500 line in Minneapolis
Monday. Mr.. Pennington, the gen
eral manager, had written that it
would be of no use to send delegs.
tion to call upon him, but nevertha-
less deputation was sent and he
received them. And curing the
course IF this reception, or interview,
or audi,nce, or whatever 1t might be-
callsd. 1t developed that the SEQ off,
cia!s were not at all aware cf the
enos,aous amount Of freight business
that is done in this city yearly. 1t
is a fact that the local freight business
amoan;s to over half a millioa dollars
each year, watch, while it may sound
inconceivable to some, is nevertheless
true. as can be shown by the records
of the Nor,nern Pacific Railway
Company. which now has a monopoly
on the business.
The mention of this fact, which
was driven home to the 500 officials,
has caused an awakening among
them aud stir of interest in regard
to Little Falls has been manifested,
which will certainly increase upon
investigation. Aud as a share in a
half million.d dollar business is not to
be despised even by so great q corpor-
alton as the 500 Line, it Is probable
that they will more than favorably
consider a slight deviation lr the
route of the proposed extention go that
they may tap this CITY and the coun'
try tributary to it.
Numerous surveying parties are at
work along different parts of the pro-
posed route and thu air is thick with
rumors, but the above statement is
correct and the points embodied in it
will most probably be fulfilled.

Isle.
The second line which runs little
nearer to the lake than the first, starts
some where near the Potts hotel at
Lawrence, passing between the lake
and the 9. Mattson store, keeping
about one and one-fourth miles south
from Cove and hitting the south end of
Onxmia lake.

BOW ABOUT OUR REPRESENTA-
~-'~-~ TlVES?

Paynesvills Press: It is against the
law to exchange railroad tlansporta
tion for anything whstever except
caso. The railroads admit this aDd
have expressed their determination to
comply with the law to the letter.
1t is also unla wful to issue passes 10
anyone except railway employees.
Therefore, the railroads must consider
every legislator an employe, for they
have issued passes to all members Of
the house ard senate, as we'll as to all
other state officers and employees, and
the officer who accepts such trans
portation admits that ne stands ready
to do the bidding of these corpora
tions. It Is now up to the newspapers
of the state to see that every employe
of the railroads is introduced to the
public.

AMONG FIRE RUINS

People

There are people IN this city who
make it practice in case IF FIRE in
mercantile blocks, to secure tree of
charge MS large a stoc'z of groceries
and supplies as Is possible. They
seem to work on the theory that in
case of fire the c-ntents of burning
buildin become pc ablic property.
Numerous dsp.adaticns were made
last week on a stock of soap and
canned goods which came through the
Vasaly block fire in fair shape and the
names cf many of the people dong
this are known. The practice has
been carried 50 far that it Is nui.
sance, as 1ell as theft.
The attention Of the police has been
called to this fact and in the future
parties caught taking goods and other
material will be arrested and prose-
cuted to the full extent Of the law.
