TO SURVEY RED LAKE.

Purpose Is to Ascertain its Feasibility
for Reservoir.
ST. Paul.-Robert Follansbee, head
of the United States geological survey,
which is working in combination with
the State Drainage commission on a
state survey, says that Red Lake
would be surveyed this week to ascer-
tain whether it is feasible to use it as
a reservoir.
The survey of Little Fork river, in
Koochiching county, has been COM
pleted, and it was found possible to
use it both for storage of water and
for power. The other surveys started
this summer will be finished before the
fall, is the opinion of Engineer Fol-
lansbee.
Minnesota is far ahead of the other
states in it's geological surveys" said
Mr.. Follansbee "The state drainage
department and the United State geol-
ogical department work together, Min
nesota is one of the few states in the
country that has geological depart
ment, and the Legislature of the state
should be praised for making an ap-
preparation towards the maintenance
of this department"

FILE ON LAND IN HURRY.
Ninety Entries Made at Duluth Open.
ing in So Minutes.

Duluth.-A new record in the dis
position of public lands was establish
ed at the United States land Office in
the Duluth federal building when nine
ty entries for land in the Fond Gu Lac
reservation were completed in fifty
two minutes. 1t has been thought that
the claims thrown open to entry would
not require more than two hours to
dispose of, but the officials and clerks
handled all the business in less than
one. 8.
The opening was at 9 o'clock and
found all those in the line who have
waited, several for two months and
others for shorter periods, anxious to
learn if they could file on the property
selected. Many had several choices
and if they found their first had been
taken sought other places. They were
admitted to the Office one at time,
less than a minute being required to
record each entry.
While these scenes were being en-
acted at the Duluth land Office very diff
ferent ones were taking place on the
lands sought near Brookston, where
many landseekers preferred to secure
their claims by settlement rather than
entry.
These were waiting near the land
they sought and at 6 O'Clock hurried
on it and pitched theif tents.

"The late DR.. George w. Bailey OF
New York." said a Presbyterian d.
vine, was thoroughly modern in his
methods, but he did think that some
of our surgeons went too far.
''Dr Bailey, apropos of certain reck-

a story of an appendicitis club.
cat a meeting of this club a pallid
member said:
"'Well, friends, I had to be re-
opened last week. My doctor had left
a sponge inside me-
"T was reopened, too said gaunt
man. I was reopened just ten days
ago. Prof. Cutler had forgotten to
remove a pair of forceps.'
''At this nervous-looking chap
groaned, jumped up, and made for the
door,
whats the matter?" they asked
him. Where are you off to in such a
rush?'
"T'm off to my doctor's,' the man
replied. I remember now that, just
after came to, he complained about

Democrats Expected to

Washington, d. C. = There will be
organized and systematic opposition
to the denomination of President Taft
by those Republicans who call them
selves ''progressives."
This was made certain by the open
ing of headquarters here to represent
the progressive faction. These head
quarters are to be national in charac-
ter and their close association with the
candidacy of Senator La Toilette, of
Wisconsin, for the presidential nomi-
nation, is said to be forcibly indicated
by the placing in charge of the head
quarters of conspicuous worker in
the fields. of 'endeavor on behalf of the
Wisconsin man-former secretary of
state of Wisconsin, Walter l. Houser.
The headquarters of the progressives
were opened here in the Evans build
ing, central location almost fronting
the White House. 1t is claimed that
the progressives who are out of har-
mony with the administration of Presi-
dent Taft are contributing to the ex-

1t is regarded as significant that the
