CHRISTMAS D0NT'S.
A Few Suggestions for the Christmas
Gift BUYER.

t0W 0uS6CotiVUo III tHC OH' '0hHoo
Gift Buyer.
Don't leave the cost mark on
presents.
Don't let money dominate your
Christmas givings.
Don't let Christmas giving de-
teriorate into trade.
Don't embarrass yourself by
giving more than you can affoid.
Don't try to pay debts or return
obligations in your Christmas Civ
ing.
Don't give trashy things. Many
an attic could tell strange stories
about Christmas presents.
Don't make presents which
your friends will not know what
to do with, and which would mere
ly cucumber the home.
Don't give because Others ex-
pect you to. Give because you
love to. IF you cannot send your
heart with the gift. keep the gift.
Don't give bulky articles to peo-
pie who live in small quarters, I'M
less you know that they need the
particular things you send them.
Don't wait until the last minute
to buy your presents, and then,
for lack of time to make proper
selections, give what your better
judgment condemns.
Don't decide to abstain from
giving just because you cannot at
ford expensive presents. The
thoughtfulness of your gift the
interest you take in those to whom
you give, are the principal things.
The intrinsic value of your gift
counts very little.
Don't give things because they
are cheap and make a big show
for the money. AS rule it is
dangerous thing to pick up all
sorts of things at bargain sales for
Christmas presents. IF you do,
there is always the temptation to
make inappropriate gifts. Be-
sides there is usually some defect
in bargain articles, or they are our
of style, out of date, or there is
some other reason why they are
sold under price.-Ex.

you buy, while you purchase a
"cat in the bag" when sending
out of town. with no chance to
return the goods if not satisfactory.
See the display windows of the
home merchants and then buy

forever stlll.

ten wears, with the coming OF a
lover and his first Christmas gift
something much rarer and finer
than she ever had Beforehand
the pride of possession in jewel;
the charm of its color and its
beauty; the sense of womanhood
and maturity it brought with it,
and the dignity it impaired in the
ewes of "the children, who had
ceased to be her playmates. Even
her father wistful expression of
tender emotion, was very plain to
her, and now she understands
we'll what was in his heart.
Then the first Christmas in her
own home the first little stock
ing hung at the foot of the baby's
crib; and, after that, the quick
succeeding festivals, and the
sound of eager voices shouting
uMerry Christmas" befOle the
tardy December sun was up.
Were there ever such imps of
mischief, such embod1ments Of
fun, as those little ones of hers,
who came stealing in to waken
their parents, white-robed, bare
footed, with curly heads all tum-
bled and tangled by restless toss
ing on their pillows!
As we recall, with the compell-
ing force of loving memory, Ger
tain especially happy and satisfy
ing Christmas celebrations, be-
loved faces stand out with resur-
rected beauty and charm, and we
see again open-eyed innocent chill
dren, perfectly entranced by the
glory of a glistening tree-the
delicate pale face of a grand
mother full of joyous participa
ton in the eager delight of the
baby on her knee-the greatful
surprise of faithful servant dis
covering that the tree, whose
fruit is love embodied, brought
some recognition of the service
that covered half a life time.
The share which the truly
worthy employees of family take
in this feast of brotherhood en-
riches it's beauty to an extraor-
binary degree. If the frail, beau
tiful grandmother and the lovely
grace of childhood are the high
lights of the picture, the faces in
which pride of recognition and
grateful affection mingle are won
derfully expressive of that at
mosphere without which the story
is but half told. He who "was
in manger laid" yet moved men
to kneel as to q king, is lily rep
resented without the faces of the
poor where men meet to do Him !
honor in his cradle. A Christmas
celebration in which only a part |
of the family share, is certainly |
less than typical.
la our country there are few
who in their later years nave any
thing left to them of the homes Of
their childhood. They are indeed
privileged grandparents who,
standing at the door of a home
stead hallowed by the associations
of many years, open their arms to
welcome children coming to the
roof under which they were born,
to keep the Christmas with that
tender joy which only such a
place can impart. Who among
us stands to greet children and
grandchildren where fifty years
before similarly happy pair
stood to meet u.s. We are de-
prived of much that is helped to

Backus & Brooks company as gen.

Big Falls to International Falls,
and will continue in charge until
such time as the road is turned
over to the M. & I. railway company
for operation in conjunction with
the line to Brainerd running south
from Big Falls.
The village of International Falls,
which was until recently known as
Koochiching, has been plated and
organized with the intention of
making it the largest city on the

the completion of the road to the
boundary. The last spike was
driven in about S O'Clock in the
afternoon, which marked the com.
pletion of practically an air line
from the Canadian boundary to the
twin cities, via Brainerd.
The building of the extension
north from Big Falls was big task.
There are only thirty-four miles Of
road, but the line runs through what
was for many years considered an
absolutely impossible swamp.
The actual work of constructing
the road to Big Falls was commenced
on January1 of this year. Dempsey
& Daugherty received the contract
for building the road and George NJ.
Huss, as civil engineer, was put in
charge of the work.
Several careful surveys had been
made from Big Falls to international
Falls before the actual territory for
the line was finally decided upon.

In order to develop the power at
the Falls, it is necessary to harness"
immense volumes of water and for
that purpose huge dam was de-
cided upon. The putting in of this
dam is a gigantic undertaking. The
Rainy river at this point
flows through an immense bed of
solid rocks, and it has been neces-
sary to excavate to the depth of
fifty feet at some places where the
falls were heaviest.
Mcclure & Renne, the Canadian
firm, secured the contract to build
the dam and they have worked two
years on this contract. An immense
amount of stone has been placed on
the Canadian side of the river, and
more than half the dam was COM
pleted last August. The contractors
quit work and absolutely refused to
complete the dam. However, the
submarine work was completed and
it is stated that six weeks more of
labor would have completed the dam
and harnessed the waterpower. AS
it is, the Koochiching company is
receiving bids for the completion of
the work. A person with authority
states that the contract for the CON-
pletion of the dam will soon be let
and the work will be resumed in the
near future, which will mean another
boom for International Falls.
1t is estimated that it will take
nearly two years of work before they
complete the dam.
1t is already decided that Backus
& Brooks will put in a big sawmill
and pulpmill; and also to establish,
when the dam is completed and the
power house put in, an electric light
plant for both Fort Francis, on the
Canadian side of the river, and
International Falls.
The Backus & Brooks company
owns at least five billion feet of tim
Der in the Rainy river country, which
is adjacent to International Falls,
and which consists of pine, pulp wood
and many other kinds of timber, all
of which will be manufactured at
International Falls, when the saw
mill is completed.

first to learn of the accident and
that was on Saturday when they
found packs and other things be-
longing to the party floating along
the shore of the lake.
It is also said that the fourth
member of the party to lose his life
in the waters of the lake was A. N.
Cooper, a cigar man, whose brother
has claim in that locality.
AS the scene of the accident is
about thirteen miles from the rail
road and the greater part of the dis
tance not traversable by team, in
formation is very slow to arrive and
what news does reach here comes
from sources that cannot be relied
upon, much of it being made up of
hearsay and conjecture.
No word up to a late hour last
night had been received from the
party of Hibbing men that went out
to the lake yesterday.

Deer River, Nov. 7.-(Special to
Pioneer. )-Reports received here
today from the Bowstring country
where the three Hibbing men and
one other were crowded, are to the
effect that the accident took place
on Thursday last week and not on
Saturday as at first reported, and
further that the body of Jack Seibe]
was recovered on Monday and that
of Peter Healey yesterday.
Even the location of the accident
is not definitely known here as yet
although it seems quite certain
that it happened in Dora Lake in
stead of Squaw Lake, as earlier re.
ports stated. It is now definitely
established, however, that Everdon
and Inscho, who were reported to
have been in the boat with the
others and been saved we're not
members of the party at all.

There is big moskeag a short dis
tance north of Big Falls, extendin e
for seven miles, and there is also a
moskeag on the north end of the
road, which is twelve miles in length.
1t was necessary to make bitches
parallel to the grade and also to
make bitches every half mile for the
purpose of draining off the water
ufhciently to get a starter for the
roadbed.
All the timber along the line was
laid down and was afterwards COW
cred with gravel to make founda-
tion for the roadbed. Hundreds of
loads of gravel will have to be used
before this roadbed is surfaced
properly and put into shape for every
day use.
However, Mr.. Huss states that
with another two weeks of good
weather the gravel trains will have
surfaced the road sufficien tly for
traffic during the coming winter.

WONDERFUL POSSIBILITY
FOR THE BOUNDARY CITY
International Falls, With Its Immense WaterpoWer Has
Great Future..Excellent Railway Connections Insure
Ample Shipping Facilities.

Although the village of Interna
tional Falls is not enjoying any boom
at the present time, the visitors tc
the border town cannot but be
impressed with the wonderful pos,
sibilities of the place.
1t takes but brief inspection of
International Falls and the surround
ing country to assure one that there
is close at hand material for the up
building of a city which will rival
in size and commercial Importance
any city in the state north of St.
Paul, outside of Duluth.
The completion of two lines Of
railway, one leading from Duluth,
the other from St. Paul via Brainerd,
gives an outlet to the principal busi-
ness centers of the state, and also
provides transportation for the
products of the immense manufact-
uring plants, which it is proposed to
establish there.
Standing on the banks of the
Rainy river at International Falls,
one marvels at the great waterpower
which is the result of the falls in the
river. Conservative estimates of the
size of this power place it at $4,000
horsepower at the maximum stage of
the water, and $4,000 horsepower at
the minimum stage. That the vol
ume will create power never less
than $4,000 horsepower is assured
from the large reservoirs, which feed
the Rainy river. These reservoirs
form a water shed containing 10000
square miles of water, which extends
one hundred and fifty miles north of
International Falls to the various
lakes and streams.
The Backus & Brooks company
owns immense amounts of pine and
have heavy investments in land and
other interests tributary to Inter-
national Falls, and together with
other people, have formed the
Koochiching company, which has
for its purpose the development of
the immense waterpower at the
Falls; also for the establishing of
manufacturing plants, including saw
mills, pulpmills, box factory, etc.

to change the time of its present
trains so that they will leave Brain
erd earlier than usual, arriving in
Bemidji at SIS in the evening,
instead of 6, as at present, and the
train will reach International Falls
at about 10. Going south the train
will leave Big Falls at 4 in the
morning, and will arrive in Bemid il
at about the same time as the present
schedule, which is 7:5O.
With the completion of the new
road, which will make direct railway
connections with the twin cities and
other portions of the United States
south of there, there is every posi-
bility that the village of Inter
national Falls will take unto itself a
large sized boom.
Assurances are given that work
will be resumed on the big dam;
that the powerhouse will be installed
and the sawmill built; that the con-
struction of the papermill will be
commenced, which will inject the
elixir of life into those who have
become somewhat stagnant through
long waiting, Micawber-like, for
something to turn up"

Possibility Of Family Ties.

Mrs. A. Clavin has gone to Olitha,
Kansas, where she will spend several
days, looking up some prospective
ties.
Recently, Mr.. Clavin shot large
lynx, and the fact was printed in a
St. Paul paper. The name CA. Clavin)
attracted the attention of a young
lady living at Olitha, Kansas, the
sir-name being an unusual one, the
the same as that of the young lady.
She wrote to inquire as to the rela-
tions of Mr.. Clavin and his family,
with a possibility that they might be
of kin.
Mrs. Clavin decided to go to
Olitha and investigate the matter.
