County Recorder Margaret Preble
gives a synopsis of the law governing
the registration of farm names, and
if is a matter that all farmers should
give consideration. The owner OF
farm may have the name OF his farm,
together with description OF the land
to which said name applies, recorded
in register kept for that purpose IN
the Office of the county recorder that
no other farm in the land is located,
and the recorder must furnish the
said land owner a certificate setting
forth said name and the description
of said lands. 1t is provided that
when one name is recorded that no
other farm in the county can have the
same name recorded. The recording
Tee is one dollar. Transfers OF land
may include the name by which the
land or farm is known. Names once
selected may be cancelled at the will
of the owner of the land, and the fee
for such cancellation is twenty-five
cents. The law went into effect July
4th, and it is needless to say there
will be a scramble for favorite names.
If you have your farm named, get II
on record with the county recorder be-
fore someone else claims your name.
There can be but one farm to each
name in each county.-Humboldt Re-
publican.

Captain Joel Robinson of the Maid OF
the Mist, in company with two asso
ciates, drove his boat downward. The
Maid was heavily mortgaged at the
time, and Captain Robinson did not
see any way to relief but one. This
one he chose. Instead of turning her
in the direction of the falls, he point.
ed her to the rapids, and started. I'm
der full steam she plunged into the
waters, going through the whitecaps
with rush. She lost her smokestack.
Soon she was in the whirlpool, rock
ing and humping. But she obeyed
on her way toward peaceful waters.
The feat remained the solitary won
der OF it's kind for quarter of cen
fury.
Captain Matthew Webb, a swimmer
famous in England, left his home in
1888, announcing he would give bat
gorge. He entered a small boat on
July "a, 1888, and started down the
river. With nothing on but pair of
red trunks he leaped into the river
while yet several hundred feet from
the rapids. AS he passed under the
suspension bridge he swan strongly,
his own strong strokes hurting him
right into the thickest of the waves.
For short time he could be seen bat
Ting with the waves, and then he dis
appeared. Four days later his body
was recovered.
His failure inspired other men to
take the chance. There was in sue
cess the glory of being able to say one
mad done what the famous Captain
Webb had been unable to do. Carlisle
D. Graham, a Philadelphia cooper,
therefore shortly announced that he
would make barrel which would go
through the rapids. His barrel was
weighted at one end so that it would
float nearly upright He made the
trip successfully, being in the barrel
thirty-fve minutes and going down
the entire gorge to Lewiston. Later
he made another trip, this time with
his head protruding from the barrel.
This trip also was successful, but
he was rendered almost deaf by con-
tact with the big waves. In all he
made five trips, being almost suffo-
Gated on his last.
Era of Boats.
Then came the era of boats destined
to taunt nature and make her yield
to victory. In seventeen-foot boat,
air-cushioned, Charles A. Percy, OF
Niagara Falls, made three trips in
1887. On the last trip he lost his
boat. r. w. Flack, of Syracuse, who
thought he had invented life saving
boat, tried it out in July, 1888. He
fixed harness about his waist, and,
the boat tursing, he was held a pris-
oner to the waves and rocks. For an
hour the boat tossed in the whirl-
pool Percy, who was to have had a
race with Flack if this trip was sue

amounted to nothing at all but motor

came the day when his boat was

Barrels came into vogue again is
1901, when Martha E. Wagenfuhrer
essayed a trip by herself. The oc-
casion was the first time woman
had attempted the trip alone, and is
recorded as the only time woman
successfully made it alone. After be-
ing in the rapids an hour she was re-
suscitated. On July 14th of the same
year, Miss Maud Willard and dog

demanding whirlpool. No one had, up
to this time, attempted to go over the
falls. But on October 20, 1901, came
Mrs. Taylor with barrel, in which
she signified her intention Of making
the falls. Owing to a high wind, the
barrel could not be tOWed into place,
and rumors had it then that the wo-
man did not mean to make the trip.
However, on the Gath, Mrs. Taylor
kept her word. She was strapped into
the barrel, which was pumped full of
air and at the bottom Of which was a
blacksmiths anvil to keep the barrel
upright. Within 200 yards of the Ca
madam shore, one of the accompany
ing boatman raped the barrel with
his oar as a sigsal to the imprisoned
woman that she was to be sent on her
way. The barrel started with all
speed toward the horseshoe. For a
moment the barrel fingered at the top
of the falls after navigating the fifty
five feet or so of decline before the
spot was reached. 1t stood as small
black speck, the object in the eyes OF
thousands. Then came the suction OF
the falls. Onward went the barrel,
speeding, fitting, swinging. For an
instant the barrel was seen at the
curve of the water. Then it dropped
-165 feet-into the seething, mad wa
tiers of the lower river.

At the Biiou,

"Three Twins" the big musical
comedy which comes to the Bijou next
week, will be produced in all of its
entirety, positively the first time in
Minneapolis at popular prices.
"Three Twins" endowed with a lot
of up-to-date costuming, pretty lyrics
galore and a wealth Of handsome Choir
listers, was produced at the Herald
Square theater and Won applause.
New York went crazy over it.
The plot of "Three Twins" centers
about the ludicrous situations result
ing from the imitation in makeup of
a photograph of twin brothers by a
skylarking youth, who playfully seeks
to deceive a captious father.
Mr.. Hauerbach's lyrics are beautiful
and catchy and the staging by Mr..
Gus Sohlke is most attractive.
The production is one of the big
gest on the road and the same that
has always played at the two dollar
price and it is promised to be one big
bargain event of the season.

THE RAILROAD TRAIN
A Model That Has Gained the Admira
ton Of Every BehoIder.

What is there that fascinates most
of us in the sight of railroad train?
Mr.. Filson Young, in the London,
England, Saturday Review, finds that
there is in the railway "a fascination
that begins with earliest childhood
and with people who retain all agree
able curiosity about life, never quite
ceases. Is it an Inheritance from the
wonder of century ago when they
seemed to revolutionize human life, or
is it something more subtle and inner
ent in themselves"
In this country the interest in the
locomotive is undoubtedly due in
large part to the wonder which the
coming of the railroad excited. For
the phenomenon is not one of cen
fury ago, 1t is part of the experience
of a generation now living. Every lit
tie while we hear of some people from
interior sections who have never seen
Il railway train. In Oregon recently,
there died a woman of 81 years, who
followed on foot a prairie schooner all
the way from Iowa to the Pacific
Coast.
The admiration and wonder excited
by u railroad train has been seen at
its topmost pitch recently at the city
nf ha Do i'm,
Paul, where a miniature model of the
deluxe North Coast Limited made en-
tirely out of sugar. has been on dis
play to the public. Over Is feet long
and complete down to the details of
the mechanism of the locomotive, in
Guiding an electric headlight, rails,
ties, telegraph poles switches and sig
nails, this model has been the admiral
ton of every beholder. Built by Fred
Raul, head cook at the st. Paul bakery
shop of the Northern Pacific, the train
is striking example of the versatility
of the bakers art. 1t required Mr..
Kauls time for full week to con-
struct it. This model will be exhibited
at the land shows to be held this fall
in New York, Omaha, st. Paul and
elsewhere. This is one of the most
urique methods yet adopted by rail-
road in advertising, and the model
train is boost, not only for the SUI
perb North Coast Limited train which
it represents, but also for the Dining
Car Department, of the road, which
has in the last few years achieved a
country wide reputation for excel
lence.
