At Melrose SUNDAY

The Gold Dusts leave tomorrow
afternoon on the AS O'Clock tram
for Melrose, where they will play the
team of that village a return game
Sunday afternoon. The lineup of the
Gold Dusts will be the same as in last
Sundays game, while the locals will
not be surprised to see one or two new
faces in the Melrose lineup.
The practice work continues, and
shows an improvement along the line.
With an even break of luck, the Gold
Dusts expect to again defeat the Mel
rose bunch.
AS this promises to be a very fast
game it was planned to have the
Northern Pacific run special to Mel
rose as large number of the Little
Falls rooters wished to take in the
game, but all efforts to secure this
service have been of no avail Prac-
tically every available automobile in
town has been chartered for the trip to
Melrose.
Those OF the fans who will be unable
to take IN the Gold Dusts- Melrose
game at Melrose next Sunday will find
some solace IN attending the game to
take place at Athletic park at 3 80
o'clock in the afternoon that day,
when the Laurels of the West side and
the Koyaltons meet to decide which of
the two teams is the better. The
locals have played twice at Rovalton
winning the first game by the score of
6 to and losing the second by the
score of to l. Tholen will be the box
artist for the Laurels.

HOPE II IS A FACT
Rumor That Steel Trust
Will Locate District
Headquarters Here

Rumor has it that the steel trust,
which now has under construction at
Duluth SO, 900, 600 steel plant, is
to locate its headquarters for this dis
trlct Of the state in this city. The
report, which authenticity we are un-
able to vouch tor, has it that the
headquarters will be erected here
soon, and that the steel trust will
Immediately set about the placing Of
drills IN the iron country hereabouts,
and supplies will be distributed from
this city.
Should this prove to be fact, 1t is
very lively that paying ore may be
struck before long and some big
mines opened up to supply the I'M
mense Duluth steel plant.

BANKING DEAD HEADS
River Will Be Cleared from
Leech River to Min
neapoliS

While this has been very bad year
for driving for the Mississippi q Rum
River Boom company. owing to the
extreme low stage of the water In the
Mississippi and the smaller streams
emptying into it, the conditions have
been and ale now ideal for the clean
ing out of the river of dead heads,
which lie in very large numbers IN
the rivers bed.
The boom company has not been
slow to realize this fact, and has let
number of ontracts for the taking out
of dead heads between Brainerd and
this city. One contract has been let
to Mr.. Noggle for that part of the
river between Brainerd and Ft.
Ripley, who has sublet same. and
some $4,000 of this variety OF logs
have already been put on the rivers
banks between the two places.
j. S. Murphy of the sorting works
has crew taking up dead heads north
of the sorting works, and has been
making considerable progress. "Billy'
White has the contract to pull up the
logs in the river bed between the sort
ing works and this city, and so far
this season has banked about As, 600.
Yesterday BO0mmaster WeDD let
contract for some of this work up
river near Belle Prairie, and IN few
days he will be up here again to let
a contract for the taking out OF the
dead heads between Little Falls and
Smart Ferry, near Sauk Rapids.
Mr.. Webb states that the work is
being thoroughly done, and he expects
to have 20. 600. O0O feet of logs taken
from the river and on the banks by
November 1st. He says that it is the
intention of the boom company to
clean the river of these water soaked
logs from the mouth of Leech rlver to
Minneapolis.
These logs, after being dried, will
be hoated to the different sawmills.
They are said to have been we'll
preserved by the water, and that many
Of them are Of a better quality than
those which are now being hoated
down stream.

WILL BE COOL
CROP.

The rains of the past few nights
have been source of great benefit to
the cucumber patches Of the students
Of the local public schools south of the
city, and fine crop is now antici-
pated. Some Of the youths have CON-
menced picking the cucumbers and
from now on until heavy frost comes,
the youths will be busy marketing the
results of their summers work.
The receipts at the picking station
have been light up to this time, but it
IS expected that good crop will be
marketed here during the season.

RAIN HELPED LAST DRIVE.

Since the recent rainfalls. the stage
of the river at this point has raised
about six inches, according to Boom
master Webb, which is a source Of
great help to the last big drive to
Minneapolis this season. It has now
reached point below Koyalton near
the mouth of the Platte river, the
crews of Jud Freeman and Ed. Lavoie
being In charge of 1t. Otis Webb has
small crew doing some siulcing at
St. Cloud at present, and when the
rear reaches that place his crew will

PUBLIC WORKS BOARD
Met Wednesday Evening
and Approved Side
walk Improvement

The board of public works met
Wednesday evening at the city hall,
with John Vertln and N. N. Berghelm
present, with Assistant City Clerk N.
Cary acting as clerk. and took up the
crosswalk and sidewalk matter which
had been referred to it by the city
council.
In regard to the order for the chang
Ing of one crosswalk from FIRST
avenue and Second street southeast,
which was presented to the board in
the form asked for by that body, it
was found that there was some objec.
tion to the changing of this walk to
Fifth avenue southeast on the same
street, E. j. Richie stating that it
was very much needed at the point it
was originally planned for. Under
the circumstances the board decided 1t
best to approve the order for Cross
walks as it was originally made out,
and recon mend that the city put IN
crosswalks on the west side of Fifth
and Sixth avenue southeast on Second
street, the improvement being one of
general benefit to the city. These
additional two crosswalks will fill the
only gaps In the walks on Second
street from Broadway to within q
block of the hospital and as the
Franciscan sisters are to tx up this
block with cinders the walks will be
complete to the hospital.
The pros and Cons were hard on the
order for the construction of stretch
of sidewalk on Fourth street from
Fifth avenue northeast to Sixth
avenue. The only objection that was
raised to the ordering IN of the walk
was that a certain widow was unable
to stand the expense Of putting in the
walk in front of her property and that
offered by the Smiths. In regard to
the former case j. Cowlck, who ap
peared for the proposition, stated that
be could collect enough to cover the
cost of the walk in front Of her
property, and In the latter case it was
stated that the property could stand
the cost easily. A copy of the letter
received from Newman Kline of the
Northern Pacific by the city attorney
was read in which be stated that he
would give the matter of the company
building walk on its property on
Fourth street immediate attention.
The board approved the order tor the
construction of the walk in question
and referred 1t back to the city council
tor action.

Tie COMMERCIAL CLUB
Consent to Transfer Of
Pickle Station to the M.
A. Gedney Company

The regular monthly meeting of the
Commercial club Monday evening was
not largely attended, but number of
matters were considered.
In the absence of Secretary Martin,
Andrew johnson acted as secretary.
The bill of the Morrison County
Lumber company in the sum of 1926,
for lumber used in the pickle factory,
was allowed, and a large part of the
same will be paid at once, the balance
when some of the dues owed by mem.
bers are collected.
The transfer of the pickle factory
building and contracts from Van
Vorhis & johnson to the M. A. Ged-
ney company of Minneapolis, was
approved, and a request will be made
to the new concern for better grading
conditions. The Gedney company, is
a much larger concern and it is their
intentions to make this one of their
main stations.
The advertising matter presented by
the committee for use at the state fair
was read and with few slight
changes or additions. will be put into
pamphlet form for distribution.
The street ta1r committee not being
ready to report, this matter will be
taken up at special meeting to be
called very soon.
F. E. Cawley, now Of Boston, but
formerly a member of the local COM
mercial club. and one of the CON-
mittee on roads at that time, stated
that the action of the club in refusing
to pay the Swanson claim for road
work, was perfectly right, as they had
no claim whatever. Mr.. Cawley
thought that the moving of the club to
the city hail Tooms was the correct
idea, thus allowing the money
collected for dues to be spent along
lines that would do much good.

WILD WfST--FAR EAST
Excellent Show Given 1T
Both Performances
Yesterday

The great shows of Buffalo Bills
Wild West and Pawnee Bills Far East
have come and gone, but during their
brief visit IN this city yesterday they
delighted thousands of people who
came from every direction to take in
this mammoth Circus, and to receive
Buffalo Bills farewell. Last evening
Col. Cody bOwe0 his final adieu to
this city and will never again appear
here.
The van guard of Buffalo Bills and
Pawnee Bills circus arrived here
from Duluth at about 10 O'Clock yes
terday morning, and was greeted by
hundreds of expectant faces. The
trains hauling the remainder of the
cages, wagons, acr0bats, Indians,
animals and Its paraphanalia came
In quick succession, and the work OF
unloading and putting up the large
tents was commenced Immediately.
There were seventy eight 6O-foot cars
IN the trains, and LOO people and
700 horses give their services to this
huge enterprise.
No parade was held here nor is any
being held by this circus IN any of
the cities this year for reasons
previously made known in these
columns, and as result the merchants
were able to realize a good business in
the forenoon.
Both afternoon and evening per-
formances we're largely attended.
The planer was shut down in the
afternoon in order that its employees
could take in the show. At the saw
mill those OF the employees who could
not get off in the afternoon went to
the evening performance.
The different acts put on during
the performance were all executed in
manner to excite the admiration of
all. The clever shooting of tho crack
shots, the eguestrianship of both the
men and women of the different
natlonalities and races, the stage
coach and train robbery acts, and the
hundred and one things that portrayed
the wild west and the far east in a
manner far superior than anything
ever seen here before.
While regretting. thar this was
Buffalo Bill s last appearance here, the
populace of this county and surround
ing cities hope to again see these COM
bined shows here.
