Proposed o Married Women.

DULUTH, Mimi, Sept. s.-Al-
though she has a husband, Mrs.
Anna Rowe has recently received
over 500 proposals OF marriage. and
more are coming from all over the
country in every mail. Mrs. Rowe's
popularity as a matrimonial partner
is due to the fact that she holds a
good place in line for the Fond du
Lac reservation land opening.
Through the error of a reporter, it
was stated in an article published in
papers all over the country that this
lady was unmarried, and this led
to the deluge Of proposals. Mr..
Rowe takes the incident in good part
and is having the time of his life

Kehoe Wants
Improvement of Harbors.

Walter Kehoe, candidate for con-
gress from the third congressional
district, is a pronounced advocate of
the improvement of the waterways
and harbors which constitute so lln-
portant a feature of his district.
He lives in Pensacola and he con-
sequently knows what harbor i'm
provement means in the development
of his section. but he is as mucn in
terested in the Improvement of every
other harbOr in the district as he is
in Pensacola harbor.
Apalachicola, CarrabeEe, st. An
drews, the rivers which flow through
this district and the canals that ale
to be eut-all will receive their full
attention at Mr.. Kehoe's hands.
Pensacola is not selfish or narrow
minded in this matter OF river and
harbor Improvement AS the present
metropolis and wholesale distributing
point for the district, Pensacola real
ICES that her growth and prosperity
depends upon the increased growth
and prosperity of every other port in
the district. When the other ports
grow. the trade of this city will grow,
and it will increase simply In proper
tion to the increase in population and
in business OF our sister ports.
Walter Kehoe Stands committed to
this project of waterway and harDor
improvement, and his knowledge. by
contact and -ohsersation,-os- what ~
needed in that respect will prove of
vast advantage to him and of great
value to his constituents If they elect
him to congress.
Let us have this vigorous and clio.
quent young democrat to represent
us in the lower house, and if the
third district does not get all that
she deserves, it wifi not be either
for want of ability or of desire on
the part of the man We elect to that
office.

In the democratic primary held May

the next highest vote. Therefore, our
names will be the only two on the bal

| am sincerely grateful to the peo-
pie of the several counties of the

vote given me in the first primary. |
recognize the fact that it was not

they voted as they did because they

dresses printed and sent out to the

to effectuate legislation that will

I will urge the adoption of Iegis-
latiOn that will improve the financial

enter upon a plan of constructing a
system of coastal canals by which the
many inland streams that frequently
parallel our coast shall be connected
up and be made navigable for craft
of reasonable size, for transnOrting
heavy freight and for the convenient
Of all our people. The benefits of
such a system can scarcely be emil
merated, in this day of the various
kinds of power boats, from the freight
boat, propelled by a gasoline engine.
to the great Households propelled in
the same way. in addition to tho
boats ordinarily run for passenger and
freight.
L will also do all in my power to
enact legislation that will open up our
harDorS to the sea, making them
available not only for commercial
purposes, but as Ravens and places
OF refuge from storms.
[ will do all in my power to secure
appropriations for deepening and MAX
ing navigable our inland rivers and
their tributaries that they NAV be-
come serviceable means for bearing
much of our inland commerce to the
points OF export, so that the waters
shall not be wasted, but be used to
bear our commerce

such as the one no wbefore the SEN

which has the support of the National
