treasurer four years ago.
Granite Falls Tribune: The Great
Northern began its new depot yes
terday morning. 1t will be modern
with maple floors and stands near
the location of the old one but far
enough back for a broad sidewalk.
The need was great and the new one
will supply it.
Lamberton Star: The best piece
of road in the country is the road
south of town, where the farmers,
Ben Coulter, D. McTaggart, S, Roy
er and some others, use a split log
drag and use it often. The piece Of
road referred to resembles a street
almost, they take such good care of
it

their future home at Lynchburg,
N. D., where Mr.. Evert has secured
position with the Armenia Elevator
Co. of Duluth, who own a lumber
yard and elevator at that place. P

was here Monday and closed the
deal with MIR. Evert.
Times do not seem to be very
prosperous with the Great Northern
in these parts, notes the Willmar
Tribune, for more than twenty
brakemen have been laid off during
the last two weeks. There seems to
be even less business out here now
than last summer, and that was sup
posed to be about the limit for dull
ness.
Sanborn Sentinel: The I. & M.
division of the Northwestern is to
be graveled from this place to Ma
son City and a crew of men with a
steam shovel have been installed in
the gravel pits east of town to do
the work. We are told that this
work will take the greater part of
the summer and will employ quite
ascrew of laborers.

Willmar Tribune: According t.
the Bird Island Union, the people O
Bird Island are watching with grea
interest Willmar's fight against tn

decision, Bird Island will also ge
busy and try to bring the monopol

streets and alleys of the village wit
practically no service to the people
1t may be interesting to note in thi
connection that Browns Valley an
