President Roosevelt was sworn In

the sGme purpose ,yhen he was In
auguratcd governor of New York. We
had bought bsble for his Inaugural
ton when we received word from
Mrs. Roosevelt that she p eferred the
use Of their own volume, and it was
accordingly substituted
I'VE still have on hand the bible
bought for that occasion, but We
shall not use It for Mr.. Taft. Unless
he furnishes a book himself, we viii.
get a new one and will keep the
Roosevelt bible on hand for emergen-
cies, such for instances, as occurred
when Arthur took the oath of Office
In this city. He had been sworn In
New York, but 1t was suddenly de-
cided that " would be safer to again
administer the oath In Washington.
Accordingly Chief Justice Waite and

One of the most interes eing features

value as well as rare natural beauty
Over it many thousands OF settlers,
bound for Minnesota and northern
Iowa, drove. 1t was opened as much
as 60 years ago, and the ferry at its
western terminus was one of the
busiest on the upper Mississippi dur
ing the period of activity on the trail.
On the east the trail connected with
the roads of Grant and the counties
to the east of that, and it is said that
many immigrants hailng from north
