Empire says:
THE committee appointed to inves-
tigate the cost of building a railroad

club rooms.
Quite a number of farmers were
present at the meeting as we'll as
others who were not members OF the
committee. Chairman Geo. P. Wilep
called the meeting to order and A.
L. Rogers read the report of the
committee.
This committee, as stated last
week, telegraphed Great Northern
headquarters at st. Paul TO find out
If they would operate the road If the
citizens would build 1t. Up to the
present time no answer has been re-
ceived and it was decided some time
ago to make the estimates on build
ing and operating the road. Esti-
mates were secured from Engineer
Whitcomb and also from electrical
engineers, and they differed very lit
tie.
The committees report shows that
TO build and equip the road will cost
$4,000.

be benefited; thus each property
holder will be asked to take stock in
the road according to the valuation
of his property.
In order to build the road $40, 900
must be raised in the town and $40,-
600 outside of town. This amounts
to 10 per cent Of the assessed valua-
ton outside of town and about 20
per cent in town.
Three sets OF committees were
appointed to canvass the country dts
tricts as follows: J. C. Brennesholtz,
John Mohr and j. M. Friel; c. v.

pointed to canvass the town: John
W. Hanna, c. A. Carpenter. L. c.
Knemeyer, Geo. w. Hollingshead,
Harry Dale and J. D. Bonar.
Those present at the meeting were
very enthusiastic and believe that
the money can be raised ana 1t can
liz every man is willing to do his
share, and we see no reason why
everyone should not be willing to put
his shoulder to the wheel and get
transportation. which means time and
money to all.
''No one is asked to put up more
than his neighbor unless he receives
more benefit by having more and
better land.
"By Saturday highland possibly
before that time-it will be known
definitely whether the road is to be
built. The whole proposition depends
upon whether every man is willing
to do his share. II there are any
persons who think the road will be
built, anyhow, whether they dig up
Or not, they will be sadly 'iisappoint-
ed No effort will be made to con
struct the road unless the full amount
necessary is subscribed
Each man will hold stock in the
enterprise to the amount OF his sub
scription, and 1t is believed that the
road will pay expenses from the start
and in a short time become pay

RARE INDIAN cURIos.
Destroyed During Recent Fire in
Rockville.


The recent loss by fire of the large
and valuable collection of relics, Gu
rios owned by l.. f. Thompson of
Rockville, WAS most unfortunate. The
collection included thousands of pieces,
and had been for some years at MIR.
Thomsons rooms on Union street, but
were stored at the lower landing build
ing at Snipsic lake, as he needed the
)Bnt for ether purposes. Mr.. Thomp-
son had been at work ~ the c6.lcc-
ton for over 30 years. and it included
the finest collection of Indian relics
ever secured in this section of the
state, and especially Of value as con-
nected with the Indian history of Toll
land county. He secured nearly all of
them in the vicinity OF Snipsle grove
and Snipsic lake. They included a
great variety of implements of war,
cooking utensils. arrow heads, and the
like. He had over a peck of stone ak
heads of all sizes. History shows that
there were no tribes that inhabited
the shores of Lake Snipsic, but it was
the favorite hunting and fishing
grounds for a number of different
tribes who often spent much time on
the shores Of the lake. The Indians
named the lake "Schnepipsit" mean
ing good hunting ground" They made
their camps usually ON the eastern
shores, near what is now known as
Sucker brook. The Nipmuck indians,
who had their main settlement in the
southern towns of Massachusetts,.
largely controlled the hunting grounds
about the lake although the Podunk
Indians, from the neig;lborhood of East
Hartford and East Windsor often
hunted there. The collection included
a good array of arrow heads of all
sizes. many being of black flint stone.
and that stone is not found within 500
miles of the lake. He had a large
collection of money and coins from
many countries, minerals. implements
of war and many curios from all parts
of the world.
