SAND LAKE BRANCH
NOW A COUNTY ROAD.


BY an act of the county board of
commissioners the old Sand Lake
branch of the Duluth, Rainy Lake &
Winnipeg railroad has become a leg
allied county road. The fbad extends
from Lake Junction on the D. r. L.
& w., and runs west for a distance Of
about twenty-five miles into the Stur-
geon lake district. The road bed is
a good one and the work of convert
ing it into a wagon road will not be
difficult, nor will it cost the county
as much money by at least one-half
as would the building of a new road
The new road will tap rich farming
country, considerable of which will
be tributary to the markets of Vir-
ginia, and its advent will have ten
dency to induce those who are desir-
Gus Of making new farms to locate in
that district. The new road will also
lessen the distance from Virginia to
Sand Lake by several miles.

WHO is this man Dahlman, mayor
Of Omaha, Neb.. who says that Bryan
is four-fusher? Dahlman, of course,
has a grievance, the same as all po-
litical bootleggers. he having been at
one time a candidate for governor Of
Nebraska, but was defeated through
the efforts Of Mr.. Bryan. William Jen-
nings Bryan is the biggest man in
politics In the United States today
bigger than though he were president
AS has been conceded him since the
Democratic national convention at
Baltimore. Bryan is for principal,
and when such men as Dahlman hit
at him there is lacking In their make
up the political purity for which the
great Commoner stands. Had Bryan
been political four flusher. as Dahl
man is pleased to call him. he could
have been president long ago.

THE three hundred or more CLUB
women drinking at bar at San Jose
recently is what will eventually be-
come a practice In the event of wo-
man suffrage being the order. OF
course it is not really any worse for a
woman to drink at a bar than for a
man to do the same. but it doesn't
look good to the mothers OF the pur-
est type Of womanhood. When wo-
men become interested in politics and
are given the right If suffrage why
not establish bars for them so that
they may have an opportunity to treat

ARRANGE TENNIS TOURNAMENT
FOR VIRGINIA.

The fact that since the laying out
OF the tennis courts on the school
grounds a number of players OF more
than ordinary ability have been dis
covered in Virginia, has suggested

and early in August, play to start on
July 2Sth and finals to be completed
by the night of August 3rd.
All those desiring to enter may do
SO by depositing SO cents with Mr..
N. ridden at the Virginia & Rainy
Lake company's Office. or with Mr..
Stanley Way at Mr.. A. B. Coates Of
fee prior to July 25th. The proceeds
will be used for the purchase of the
prizes for the winner, runner-up, and
consolation prize.
The tournament will be a handi-
cap event. A committee will be ap-
pointed whose duty 1t will be to dr.
range a handicap for each player,
and handicaps will be arranged with
an idea of giving every player fair
chance.
Anyone making a deposit of fifty
cents Is eligible for this tournament.
1t is desired by the promoters that
all tennis players enter the contest
and make of the tournament q sue
cess.

KENTUCKY distillers are greatly

KENTUCKY distillers are greatly
perturbed over the fact that the out
put of the Kentucky's principal pro-
duct for the year appears to be en-
tirely too large, the estimated out
put of whisky being between 10000
900 and 100000 gallons. If they
would only invite the various editor
1al associations to Kentucky they
would doubtless find pleasing de-
crease in the visible supply, giving
them spirit to go ahead and cook up
a little more of the stuff that inebri-
ates.
