BIDS FOR TOURIST TRAFFIC
Canadian Pacific Grappes With Grand
Trunk for Eastern Business.

CHICAGO. Feb. PA keen contest
is on between the Canadian Pacific and
Grand Trunk roads for supremacy In
the Canadian tourist-carrying business.
For many years the Grand Trunk has
had monopoly of such business from

into this territory, which, it is expect
ed, will be ready for operation by the
opening of the coming tourist season.
There may be substantial and perma-

the competition.

which seemed to reflect on President
Roosevelt.
If General Grant does not volunteer
an explanation he will be called upon
to make one.
General Grant spoke at the WASH

Grand Army of the Republic, at Phia-

ports of his remarks differ to some
little extent as to the words he used,
they agree in stating substantially that
he expressed great regret because the
president of the United States talked
and argued with an indicted mayor as
could or should carry out the provisions
of a treaty made with another coun-
try.
The general said he did not believe
such thing could have happened be-

Before coming here General Grant

After a few more questions put to
the boy Miss Barge learned enough to
notify the police that the bodies of
three boys missing since Saturday
would be found in the Rock river.
There they were found later in the
day.
Fear Whipping; Don't Tell.
Fear of a whipping had kept Will
liam Barge and Vernon George, a COM
panion, aged seven from revealing the
fate of their three playmates, who had
started out with them for walk on
the ice of the river at 4 O'Clock Satur-
day afternoon. The children had been
warned-and the Barge boy particular
ly, because of his previous experiences
to keep away from the river and
when they returned home Saturday
evening, wet to the skin. said nothing
of the tragedy they had witnessed, but
crept under the covers of their beds
and went to sleep, glad to have es-
capped the dreaded whipping.

lice in their search for the missing
children, reached the homes of William
Barge and Vernon George, but We're as

is that when they We're a quarter of

Run Home in Terror.
Vernon George, who was carrying
stick, reached it to the boys struggling
in the water and himself was dragged
in. Thereupon young Barge, who can
swim, jumped in and succeeded in
helping Vernon George up on to solid
ice When he looked around for the
others he says, they had disappeared.
The two boys. freezing in their wet
clothes, stood at the hole in the ice
for awhile, and seeing no signs of their
three playmates, ran to town, and each
to his own home, and said nothing
about the drowning
The police. when notified by Miss
Barge. started at once to drag the river
bottom, and under a clump of willows
at bend of the river half mile down
from the scene of the accident the
bodies of the three boys were recov-
