RED LAKE RIVER RISES THREE
FEET
Sudden Rise in Lowell Township is
"A Mystery to the Neighborhood

The report reached this Office of an
unusual rise of the Red Lake river
beginning about three miles west of
the city. The water has already ris-
en- about two feet above the ice and is
gushing like geyser through the
cracks. John Hanson drove across to
visit neighbor and on his return had
to come around by the city.
The cause Of the sudden rise seems
to be a mystery to those on the
ground and may be explained by the
possibility Of the river freezing to the
bottom some place below where it
forces itself through the ice. The
waterworks people released q small
amount Of water from their pond
above the dam Sunday, but it is not
thought that it was sufficient to cause

disposed of for the benefit of credit

a century to build up a business, az
totally lost. Says he will not even
be able to save his home. This is
certainly a hard lot. He has never

GIRLS SHOULD BE SENT HOME

The show troupe that ran away

Monday, after spending a week over
east of Rainy River. They said the
manager wasn't worth while having
around, anyway. From here they went

That a. new up-tO-date hotel will be
built in Warren the coming summer is
now an assured fact, as the committee
having the solicitation of subscrip-
tions in hand has met with very good
encouragement nearly everywhere.
Only a few have been found unwilling
to help the enterprise along, but they
will no doubt fall in line later. The
new hotel will be built on the site of
the present Scandia hotel, owned by
Mrs. Christine LindQuist, and will be

l went out into the back yard, where
there were about dozen engines,
ranging from 1880 to $3.50 horsepow-
er. and which covered fully one-fourth
the space in the yard Each engine
was manned by as many boys and
young as could crowd on the platform
of the engine, and each engine start
ing up, then backing and turning by
backing into one corner, and swing
ing and running into another corner,
and backing again, backwards and
forwards and so on, until they could
get into any position they wanted. /
was naturally looking out for a col
lision, but the boys kept their heads
and never once collided. And when
/ learned that most of the boys and
young men had never been on tract
or engine before coming to this
school, / made up my mind that that
beat anything that | had ever seen
and that / was going to try my best
to do the same. The school opened
every morning at 9 a. m. sand closed
at 6 p. M. The school was held in the
company's large warehouse with a
tractor engine in the center, having
piston head removed, also top Of crank
case showing all working parts. At
any time during the instructions or
any other time if anyone did not fully
understand any working part, they
were at liberty to ask to have it ex-
planned again, which was promptly
done. Also any questions in regard
to engine troubles, of any make, or
automobile troubles, were cheerfully
answered. Considering that this was
a free school for all and that such
competent men had been furnished
for instructors as D. J. Casley, Frank
H. Johnston, VIM. -F. Threewitz and
Mr.. McNealy, besides the local ex-
perts of the company, the broadmind-
edness of the Rumely people was we'll
shown and this cannot help but be f.
nancially beneficial to them. The in
structors were taxed to the limit each
day answering questions and explain
ing the different working parts Of the
engine to 43S pupils, of whom EGO
were granted diplomas and more
might have gotten them if they had
tried for them, as the instructors
showed the most patience imaginable.
Not once did I hear one of them say:
why, have just explained that, /"
when asked a question, but would go
right over explaining it again with
the patience Of mother.
AS the same company is going to
conduct a similar school in Thief
River Falls beginning Monday morn
ing, Feb. 26, and continue one week,
would earnestly advise every farmer
and farmers son IN Marshall, Polk
and Pennington counties to attend
every day that they possibly can. Z

OUT OF THE DEPTHS OF A FA-
THEIRS SOUL

(The following very touching and
pathetic appeal and farewell was
made by Judge c. S. Hull to his foster
son, Gordon, while the latter was at
the Marshall county Jail before being
taken to the reformatory. Jailer J.
2. Bordewick overheard the tender
and earnest talk of the heart-broken
father. The good man opened up his
soul to the boy who had gone astray
and spoke words that it would seem
ought to melt a heart of stone. A
love and sympathy SO strong and sim
cere as that cannot fail to have it's
effect and boy who willfully spurns
| it, knows not what he is doing, nor
what he will miss by pursuing q
downward course. It is akin to the
Heavenly Fathers love for His way
ward children. We hope and believe
ii.i4.t I .si44.sst Garaoh " Il! etaJ1 scme day as
a penitent son and live to be a joy
and an honor to his kind foster par
ents in their declining years. May
that be their consolation, and for such
an outcome let us all pray.-Ed.)
Mr.. Hull spoke thus to Gordon:
4 Gordon, if you only can see me, as
you now see me before you in flesh
and blood, that sight will soon be
gone Gordon, you have trans
! gressed the law Of the State of Mime
sofa and you will have to pay the
price.
Gordon, that home yonder is a
changed place. No heart-broken mo-
ther waits for the footsteps Of her
wayward boy. No anxious fathers
prayer is heard for his absent son.
Gordon, last night was cold and
drew my chair in front of the stove,
and as sat there, saw your picture.
the one we had enlarged, the one in
the corner. 1 saw you as you was
then-a little boy. You believed in
me then, Gordon; you was good boy,
you was not proud, nor envious, nor
, stubborn. You bowed your ear to
! instruction, you ran swiftly in the
: ways of knowledge, you had never
: heard of the vices and vanities of the
world. And to me then, Gordon, you
was beautiful flower, which some
cherished plant had shot forth, whose
cup is filled with dewdrop, and head
, recines on it's parent stem. Gordon,
as I gazed at that picture, remem-
bered then our Saviour had said: "F,x-
cept ye become as little child, .ye
cannot enter into the kingdom of
!; heaven
Gordon, that picture changed as if
by magic. I saw you as I now see
you, filling felon's cell.
Gordon, have always given you,
asking nothing in return. But come
to you today with this request, that
sometime, some day, somewhere, you
will take some little boy, as took
you, and endeavor to make out of him
la grand and good man, which have
failed to make out of you, SO that this
! old world will be the better by you
passing this way.
ii Farewell, my boy, God be with you
J until we meet again.
