What is popularity known as
Northern Minnesota" is not bound
ed by arbitrary survey lines, as COM
monty used. The description applies
to that portion of the Northern part
of the State covered either by partly
open brush or extensive timber ares,
says the Northern Minnesota Booster.
In extent this area has an ex-
IRENE width of about 275 miles from
East to West, and an extreme length,
North to South of approximately ITS
miles On the south are the prairie
lands of Central Minnesota and on
the West the counties bordering on
the Red River of the North.
The North Boundary.
Its Northern boundary is the Lake
OF the Woods and the waters of the
Rainy River Region, comprising
also the international Boundary be-
tween the United States and the Do
miniOn of Canada. On the East is
Lake Superior and Northern Wis
c0nsin.
Northern Minnesota is in the same
latitude as the states of North Da-
kota., Montana and Washington, and
portions of Idaho, Wisconsin, Mich
igan and Maine, and is farther south
than any portion of western Canada.
It's area comprises about 100000
square miles, over half of the area
OF the state.
When it is considered that for
more than 20 years, Minnesota has
ranked as one of the most productive
state OF the Union, attaining that
achievement with scarcely half of
its acreage under the subsection of
the farmer, some idea may be had Of
the tremendous development the

Area is Large.
This section has an area almost as
large as either the states of Indi-
ana or Maine, and over half as large
as the states of Iowa and Illinois.
The development of this part of the
state has been retarded largely by
causes not even remotely connected
with the character of it's soil and
climate.
For years large portion of this
section was withheld from settlement
by extensive lumber operations. After
the timber was cut this land was,
owing to the brush and stumps on
it, considered by many unfit for ag-

Purpose of Trail.
The chief. purpose Of the organi-
cation is to establish a trans-con-
tinental highway from Duluth and
Superior to Seattle, passing through
Grand Rapids, Bemidji, Crookston,
Grand Forks, Minot, Havre, Kalis-
pell and Spokane. There is no doubt
that such a road would be patronized
by through travel, as it would enable
parties from New York and New
England to drive their cars to Buff
falo and from there ship them to Du-
luth, continuing from the Zenith
City to the coast via the Wonderland

HOUSES PUT UP TO LAST
Workmen of a Past Generation Did
Their Work in a Manner to
Endure.

The Wayside inn, at salisbury, of
which Longfellow sung, was built IN
1856. Repairs were made during the
present year in which some of the
original clapboards were removed. The
wrought-iron nails holding those
boards in place were found in almost
perfect condition, though they had
been in an exposed position for 22S
years.
The nails we're perfect because they
were pure iron. Careful analysis
could detect only the faintest traces
of carbon, manganese, copper or sui
phur. 1t seems established that pure
iron will not rust. The celebrated
iron pillar of Delhi that stood exposed
to the weather for 900 years and
seems good for 800 more. 1t is even
more free from foreign substances
than the iron nails of the Wayside
in, which accounts for its superior
durability.
The problem of modern manufac-
turers is to produce pure iron by ma
chine processes, and do it econom-
ically. A few claim to have gained
this desired goal, but the world in
general has it's doubts. Work went
slowly in the old days. but sometimes
it went with a sureness which pres
ent-day industry has yet to achieve.

The good parson was preaching out
Of town and he went into a barber
shop and got a shave. The porter
brushed a hat and handed it to the
parson, who donned 1t in an absent
minded way. The parson dined at the
home OF a pillar of the church that
evening and the guests we're all strict
church members. When the guests
we're leaving the host handed them
their hats. He looked inside one hat
to see the name and seemed deeply
shocked. rs this your hat?" asked
the host. Eyes" replied the parson.

hat to the parson and he glanced at

If Mary and he could have had a
child like that!
He spoke grufiy to the little girl,
but she did not seem to notice his
presence. And at last, with a shrug
Of the shoulders, Driscoll turned his
back on her.
He started away-not In the direc-
ton Of New York, however, but back
toward his home. A new idea had
come to him. He would pretend that
he had been killed in the wreck, and
return home secretly, to discover
what people were saying about him.
He anticipated the 1eers, the scofing
and congratulations, and his own
triumph when he suddenly appeared
In the midst Of them.
The news of the disaster had spread
rapidly, and, five miles down the line,
DriscolI passed a wrecking train, with
a medical car attached. Behind 1t,
along the wayside track, there came
a man in a buggy, who pulled up his
sweating steed.
Have you seen the wreck@ he
shouted.
YES" answered Driscoll. II was
aboard. My friend, Jim Driscoll, was
killed, and that's enough for me. Are

Yes, I'm a newspaper man. an

down as dead" answered Driscoll.
Say Jim Driscoll of Boxville, Ill, was
killed by breaking his neck, because
I'm not a-going to break the news to
his family"
The bargain was struck and Dris-
coll gave the other a five minutes
account of the wreck. Then he hur'
ried along, the line.
He caught a branch train at the
junction, and finally, about eight
o'clock the next evening, attired in q
shabby suit which he had purchased
at a paWnbrokers, ne made his way
Ia the dark through the streets Of
Boxville. Nobody who passed in the

Driscoli recognized him as the 1ocal

Another Horror of War.

The other day an innocent-eyed
young lady, whose demeanor has al
ways been sweet and gentle, went to
a bookstore and returned with three
volumes under her arm.
What have you there?" she was
asked my a male friend. Of course,
he expected for an answer the titles
of three fluffy novels full of moonlight
and love.
Instead the gentle young thing rat
tied off glibly:

AFTER THE WRECK
BY ARTHUR cLevEs.

Jim Driscoll found himself upon his
feet, staring at the wreck of the train
in which he had been travelling. All
about him lay the dead and injured,
and the carriages, which were begin
ming to catch fire, illumined the night
with a lurid glare.
z 1t was in the middle of the noun
tain district of Pennsylvania. Dris-
coll had left his little town in Illinois
to go to New York. 1t was his first
journey in ten years. A discovery Of
oil upon his property had given him
the promise of wealth, and he had set
out to negotiate with a company.
Jim Driscoll, at fifty, was reputed
the crabbedest old mar in Boxville.
If Mary and he had had children he
might have discovered that life is not
wholly a vale of tears. As 1t was, he
was a town character. He knew it,
too; knew that Mary shrank from him
and feared him, though loyalty kept
her to him; knew that his presence
anywhere chilled the mirth, that the
children hated him, that his neigh
bors avoided him.
He gloried in it. He had the repu-
tation of a vindictive man, and he
gloried in that. He was close-isted,
hard as nails, and he Rugged his sin
lister reputation to his heart,
The wreck had come suddenly, 1t
had unsettled him. OF course, he
was not going to interest himself in
any Of the injured. That vas not
Driscoll's way. But the physical
shakeup had unsettled the habits Of
years, and for the first time in years
Driscoll began to take stock Of him
self.
His thoughts we're changed by hear
ing a child's cry at his side. STOPPING
down, he saw a pretty little girl OF
eight or nine years, lying beside the
track. Near her lay the body of a
man. He had been killed in the dis
aster, and the girl, who seemed only
slightly injured, was stretching out
her arms to him and sobbing.
Beneath his hard exterior Driscoll
had a heart tender in one respect
He loved children. That was why he
scowled at them, to hide his feelings
