DRINKS on TRAINS ELECTED
New Law Being Enforced; Offenders
Arrested, Liquor Confscated.

Train crews on the line of the
Great Northern. between Duluth and
Grand Forks, N. D., are having some
strenuous experiences in the strict en-
forcement of the law which prohibits
the drinking of4intoxicants ON rail-
road trains, but nevertheless the law
is working out to the satisfaction of
the railroad men and that portion
of the travelling public which appre-
ciates the change in the conditions of
travel it is making on northern Min
nesota trains.
The night passenger train between
Duluth and the Dakota line is one
that is prolific of trouble for the
train crews in living up to the order
of the, railroad officials that train
men must see that the new statute is
enforced to the letter.
Leaving Duluth this train passes
for some distance through Wisconsin,
where the measure is not operative.
From Superior to the state line the
festive woodsman and the itinerant
laborer, westward bound, may in-
zduige in hbations and the train crew
is powerless But at the boundary
there is a change in business all
around. The lid is on in earnest.
The brakeman commences to collect
the bottles and Conductor Paddy Mel
son says that on night, when bust
ness is fair, it is not an infrequent
occurrence to gather up 20 quarts OF
liquor between that point and Cass
Lake.
The brakeman stands at the rear OF
the smoker. Whenever anybody gets
thirsty and produces a bottle the
trainman goes to the front and takes
it lin charge. Sometimes there is
troub BILE, but in the end the train crew
wins out.-Duluth News Tribune.

FREE OFFER FOR NYMORE ROAD
Lumber and Railroad Companies Put
Gravel Distribution Up to Council.

The question of rebuilding the Ny
more road will be=hreugilt: before the
Council meeting tonight. This road
has been in poor condition the past
year or more. No improvements have
been deexcept by the lumber COM
panies.
Some time ago the Crookston Lum=
Der Company offered to furnish eight
or ten teams to spread gravel, and
A. L. Molander, general manager of
The Minneapolis, Red Lake and Man
itoba Railroad volunteered to haul
three or four car loads of gravel a
day free, the city to pay for the Ia
Dor and the cars.
The Minnesota and International
road has agreed to supply the cars.
The lumber company still agree to
furnish three teams to do the work.
Alderman-at-large L. F.. johnson
said today that the road should have
filling of clay before the gravel is
put on, as the two will mix we'll and
make good hard servicable road for
years to come. 1t will probably cost
more to get the clay as it cannot be
loaded as conveniently.
Many Bemidji citizens believe that
no other road is more in need of re-
pair that the Nymore road. The
farmers from that part of the country
are also agreed on this point Auto
mobile men are also agitating this
repair work.

eral people and the park derives its
name from the lake. The most COM
monty accepted version is that the
lake derives its name from two words,
"veritas eaput," ueritas meaning
truth and caput head. These are said
to have been supplied by the Rev.
William +. Boutwell,, who accompa-
MED Henry Schoolcraft on an explo-
ration of the lake in 1892 Mr..
SchoOlcraft ran the two words to-
gether-veritascaput- struck off the
first and last syllables and produced
"Itasca."

ATWOOD NEAR new YORK
Makes Safe Sunday Flight of 104
Miles, Part of Which Was Rec
ord Breaking Speed.
TO FINISH TRIP ON WEDNESDAY

Lyons, N. Y, Aug. 21.-Nine hum
dred and thirty miles from his start
ing point, Harry N. Atwood, the
young Boston aviator, who is fast APP
preaching the worlds long distance
record in his flight from st. Louis to
New York landed in a field in Lyons
Sunday afternoon after flying 1O4
miles from Buffalo without a stop.,
. Flies High From Buffalo.
Ascending in Buffalo at 1920
O'Clock Sunday afternoon, Atwood
climbed to a high altitude, turned
eastward and hit by a brick wind
from the west shot over the towns
and villages at a speed which kept
railroad telegraph operators busy re-
porting his progress,
Goes 4 Miles in 8 Minutes.
! He alighted in Lyons at 5::s4 p.
m., having covered 104 miles in ex--
aetly two hours and eleven minutes.
In one instance he went four miles in
three minutes and on reaching Roch-
ester 69smiles from Buffalo, he went
around the outskirts of the city so
fast that the people standing on the
office buildings could not get more
than a glimpse of him.
Beats Train 18 Minutes.
The train which left Buffalo at the
same time that Atwood did, ran in
sight of the aeroplane almost all the
way to Rochester, but arrived there
Ii minutes after the aviator had
passed around the city and had dis
appeared in the east.
Atwood is now 335 miles from New
York. By Tuesday night he hopes to
reach Albany and ON Wednesday in a
one day fight down the Hudson river
he expects to break the worlds rec
ord for distance and finish his trip,
landing at Coney Island before sun
down.

Itasca Park is under the supervis-

supplies funds for the maintenance
of the park. The forestry board is
represented by Commissioner M.
Meinzelman, who is paid small sal

missioner to entertain visitors. The
commissioner also serves as fire and
game warden and is host to the many
who visit the park each summer.
Itasca Park is game preserve, a

That the beauty of Hasca State

the fact that magazines Of national
circulation are taking an interest in
the place. A few weeks ago one of
the editors of "The American Lum-

$4,000 Acre Play Ground.

tanned without being domesticized
and where domestic life is loosened
from the rigors of it's bondage. This
spot embraces an area of approx
mately $4,000 acres, nearly one.
third of which is water. 1t is the
initial effort of the people of Min
nesota to create a playground for
themselves. 1t affords the visitor an
opportunity to return-fo simple, Wig
orous life and to cultivate Or exercise
certain elementary principles of
woodcraft, which civilization appears
to be stamping out of the accomplish
ments of the people or limiting it to
those few to whom knowledge of the
wild is essential.
Itasca Park was created by act of
the Minnesota legislature in 1897.
The federal government transferred
to the state title to all the public
lands within the confines of the park,
and the school lands-two sections
located within it's confines were
placed under the jurisdiction of the
forestry board, which administers its
affairs, working arrangement to
handle the lands being made by the
state auditor.
Get There Drawbacks Cited.
Among the drawbacks of Itasca
Park are the difficulties encountered
and time required to reach it from
St. Paul or Minneapolis, the railroad
center of the Northwest. The park
is located twenty-five miles north
west of Park Rapids, station on the
Bemidji branch of the Great North
ern railway. This line operates a
local train between the Twin Cities
and Bemidji once every week day, no
train being run on Sunday. The
train now leaves St. Paul at 1925 a.
m. and reached Park Rapids at $40
p. m. 1t is possible to take a train
on the main line of the Northern
Pacific to Wadena and transfer at
that point to the Great Northern To-
cal. A night train on this branch
of the Great Northern, or parlor
car attached to the local, would add
greatly to the pleasure of the trip.
Stage, Livery or Auto.
A stage is operated week days be-
tween Park Rapids and Itasea Park,
the regular fare being So. The trip
REQUIRES about eight hours.
A special livery rig can be secured
and the trip made in about five hours,
the charge usually being So for the
conveyance, which will accommodate
three or four people besides the driv-
er.
An automobile will make the trip
in two hours and thirty minutes, the
fare being $12 for the trip, and the
machines carry three to five people in
addition to the driver.
The summer season is short, begin
ming about June 1 and usually end
ing about September l. The park is
open throughout the year. Students
of wild lyife and those who love ma
ture sufficiently to brave the rigors
of a northwestern winter are well
come.

A peculiar dilemma arising out
Of the scarcity of first class carri.
age horses which has developed
since the universal introduction Of
the motor car, affected many mem
bers of the peerage and ancient
nobility participating prominently
in the regal functions and process
sions of the coronation.
The question Of horsing the cum
bersome but elegantly emblazon-
ed family, State coaches, which
have been in service sometimes for
centuries on such occasions be-
came in many cases acute and re-
course had to be had for their sup
ply, not only in the stables of coun
try mansions, where most of the
animals are now kept, but to the
public livery stables, who for a
time enjoyed something of their
prestige.

regiments of regular army, yeo,

and detachments from Canada. S.

In addition to the military, the
entire police forces of the city and

together over 20, 900 men mounted

quences of possible rushes into the

ted at the most dangerous street
