Mr.. Helgeson in his letter to Mr..
Murphy states thai the agitation for
a complete change in present condi-
tons regarding shipping, especially
boats carrying passengers. has reach
ed a high pitch in the Isl and tina it
is planned to materially change the

probable be used by the North Dakota
congressman as evidence to be pro.
duced before the house.

This was reported in Crookston yes

Knutson had taken passage on the
boa which met with disaster. Inves-
LEGATIONS today prove conclusively that
he has not as yet left his Norwegian

"The Magic of the Moon" :"

The moon driven DER the star gem
med sky,
The leaves in shadows stirred
AS subtle scents from garden boughs
Gave hint of haunts where Loves 5
vows
Might swell with honeyed word.
The crowded streets saw by day
Were paths by hills unrolled,
The brunt of traffic and Of toll,
Were ferny crags, and lichened soil
More precious far than gold,
In bustling sound Of human feet
On pavement. Clear | caught
The ringing shouts of wild delight,
Where summer currents make their
flight,
With flow of blessings fraught,
In Changing bells Of passing trains
The wanderers trail found
That led to ways Of "heath aud sky
That kindly soothing silent lie
AS an enchanted ground,
O! magic Moon, that puts to flight
Life's tumult and by-p'ay,
Grant me glimpse of that surcease
That wears the friendly guise OF
Peace,
And turns night to day,

Your robe fairy dressing,
Wove on a silver loom,
