CANAL BRIDGE
TROUBLE FIXED

There has been an amicable settle
ment of the canal bridge troubles at
Detroit lake and 1t Is expected that all
on the part of c~ottagers will soon be
removed.
At a meeting of the commissioners of
Becker county at Detroit, this morning,
arrangements were perfected for the
change of the concrete arch bridges
which now cross the CANAL, one at the
south of Detroit lake and one at Shore
ham, and the installation of temporary
bridges which will be built high enuogh
to allow the easy pasSage of boats of
all description. This temporary work
will asst until September, the close of
navigation, when permanent structures
will be built at a cost of $4,000 each,
half to be borne by the navigation
company and half by the county board
of Becker county.
The agitation for. changes in the
bridges arose from the collapse of a
bridge near Pelican lake whereby one
man was killed and conditions obliged
the temporary closing of some of the
water routes which caused more or less
Inconvenience to cottagers.
There were present at the meeting
Highway commission, J. K West, secre-
tary-treasurer of the navigation COM
pany, members of the county board and
officials of the interested township
boards. The approaches to the pro-
posed new bridges will be maintained
by the township boards. The proceed
ings were amicable and the aim of the
meeting was to best subserve the in
~terestS of the general public.

MUSIC AT THE NORMAL.
HazeIton Quartette Regaled Students
With a Rich Programme,

With a Rich Programme.
The very large ensemble of teachers
and students attending the summer
term at the state normal school were
very happily RECALLED during the chapel
hour this morning with a programme
given by the Hazelton quartette, Jes-
sic Hazelton Askegaard, soprano: Lii
liam G. Wright, contralto; s.. III. Kan
tor, tenor, and p. A. Rudd, bass; and
Hubert Beard of Fargo, accompanist.i
The programme presented was as fol-
lows:
Quartette-Sextet, arranged from
Lucia di Lammermoor /. Donizetti
Piano and Vocal Duet .........
........ Miss Wright and Mr.. Beard
Quartette-The Sweet Little Girl
and the Quaint Squeeze -. Warner
Trio-Oh, Restless Sea ........ White
Mrs. Askegaard, Mr.. Kantor, MIR. Rudd.
Quartette-Alas! That Spring Should
Vanish, from a Persian Garden.
100. ........ Lehman
Duet-Edenland ..... Dana
Mrs. A~skegaard and Mr.. Kantor.
Quartette-Rigoletto ........... Verdi
There was no intermission between
the programmed numbers, all of which
were enthusiastically applauded, but
at the finish of the number by Verdi
tehe applause was so vigorous that a
demand was made for a recall and for
that compliment the q%uartette grace
fully responded with the Nocturne,
from the opera Martha, and that was
well received. Besides the students,
there was a goodly audience Of the
general public.

Increased Limit of Attendance.

Mankato Free Press: The state nor
NAL board Is to be commended for lift
q little ways. A couple of years ago
they placed the limit of attendance at
500, which was a hardship to many
students, who wished to attend the st.
Cloud school. The board at it's last
meeting raised the limit to 500 for st.
Cloud, Moorhead, Mankato n Winona,
and 400 at Duluth. With the assembly
hall enlarged and a proportionately
small appropriation for a few more
teachers the ST Cloud school could
train 1000 teachers for the public
schools, and with .one-half the public
schools taught by teachers holding
second and third grade certificates,
there is ample room for more first
class instructors.
The normal-school presidents will
receive $4,000 salary beginning with
the new school year. No public serv-
ants in the state give better returns to
the people than do the presidents of
the normal schools,

fore the board to call attention to the
~irregularity Of the operation of the
railroad gates at the crossing Of the

given prompt attention SO that perfect
safety could be assured.
Henry Hector. proprietor of the
dancing pavilion in Island park, asked
that attention be given a sewer pass
ing his pavilion. the present condition
of which he declared unsanitary. Com

matter within a week. The board adj
journed until Monday, June 80.
