the early hour at which the special

ganization will make good showing,
for the members are right up to date

PARROTS RemarkahIe NTemorv

That birds possess the faculty of
remembering people was demonstrated
beyond a doubt last week when Leon
Whitney returned from Park Rapids.
Directly Polly Perkins espied him
approaching the house she cried,
Leon! Le-e-on!" And when Leon
entered the doorway Polly flew upon
his shoulder and rubbed noses with
him. Any one who has studied birds
will tell you that the rubbing of bills
together is their method of greeting
just as men would shake hands and
women fall upon one another's necks
and kiss.

That Dam Dynam1tine.

The question involved in the blow.
ing up of the dam across the Rum
river at Black brook in Onamia town
ship-the case recently tried before
Justice G. A. Dickey-was purely a
matter of legal significance. The law
says that dam not legally construct.
ed or maintained is not in fact dam.
Thus the dam at Black brook, in con.
sequence of it's not being legally
maintained, became mere obstruc.
ton, and anyone with whom it inter.
fered had right to remove it by any
means whatsoever.
Messrs. Lynch, Petrin, Baker and
Anderson, who we're brought into
court at the instigation of Geo. II.
Carr, were therefore clearly within
the meaning of the law when they re.
moved by dynamite the unused dam
of the Rum River Improvement com.
pany, which caused the water to over.
flow their lowlands and damage such
lands.
No one had used this dam since
logging operations ceased on the
Rum river.
It appears from the evidence that a
footbridge had been constructed over
the unused dam-or such portion of il
which remained-and that the destruc.
ton OF this footbridge which, among
others, was used by Mr.. Carr, caused
the grounds for complaint. Justice
Dickey could not have done other
than dismiss the suit, as there were
no legal grounds for action.

Will Commence June IS.

Training school opens here at the
high school building on June %. It
is the intention to make every effort
to take a most thorough review in
whatever study is selected. Those at
tending can have assistance in their
work every afternoon. It is a five
weeks course designed especially to
help those who desire to remove a
condition on their certificates or in
crease their markings in any subject,
and also as an assistance to those
who have just completed their high
school course and want to review
thoroughly in eighth grade work for
examinations.
Consider the matter carefully from
every standpoint and see whether,
under these conditions, you cannot do
better here at home than to 60 away
at a rather heavy expense. We have
thirty days here in five weeks, while
at the big centers you will get six
weeks of five days per week-thirty
days in all, the same as attained here,
and no more.
At the close we will probably call
board convention. This gives
teachers and board members an op-
portunity to meet and form plans for
next years. work.
School officers of Mile Laos
county may receive copy of the 1909
legislative manual for their district
libraries by calling at my Office.

G. A. Eaton and Benjamin Me-

Nova Scotia, where they will visit
relatives and old-time acquaintances.
Mr.. Eaton goes to Halifax and Mr..
Mckenzie to Pictou, the home of their
childhood days. It has been many
years since Mr.. Mckenzie saw the
land of the "blue-noses," and he will
doubtless find that vast change has
taken place-that the town where be
was born doesn't look like it used to
and that the great majority of the
companions of his childhood have
been laid to rest.

WILL PUT in TTERY /
Decided at Joint Session of Council
and Commercial Club to In.
stall Storage Battery.
Power Will Then Be Sufficient to
Maintain Continuous Day and
Night Light Service.

A joint meeting of the village coun-
Gil and commercial club was called at
M. S. Rutherford's Office on Friday
evening for the purpose of consider
ing the advisability of installing a
storage battery in the power house.
1t was stated by Mr.. Terrell that either
this course would have to be pursued
or a new boiler put in, as the capacity
of the boiler now in use was made
quate to supply sufficient power for
lighting purposes.
Both propositions were fully dis
cussed and it was shown that a
storage battery would, for several
reasons, give the best satisfaction-be
the greater source of efficiency. With
such a battery night and day light
service could be maintained and there
would be a saving in both coal con-
sumption and labor employed, where
as larger boiler would entail greater
expense. Then again battery would
increase the revenue.
Several letters were read from towns
about the size of Princeton which are
using storage batteries and every one
highly recommended them and testi-
fed as to their efficiency.
1t was stated that new boiler
would cost over $4,000 and that the
price of battery would be about the
same figure.
The sense of the meeting appearing
to be in favor of a storage battery, a
motion was put and unanimously
carried that the council proceed to
purchase and install such battery.
