mel for ordinary steamboats, or large
traffic. Notwithstanding the govern
ment has diverted water to the Iowa
side so that when the stage is low the
surface of the water there is couple
of feet above that on the Illinois side
of the island a mile or so above An
dallusia.
In the effort to make the Iowa side
navigable in low stages a labyrinth Of
wing dams has been thrown out from
both the islands and the main shore
on the Iowa side till it is almost i'm
possible for launch with the ordinary
equipment of lights, to traverse this
section of river after dark.
The people Of Andalusia contend,
and they have the support of many of
the river navigators, that the govern
ment should change the whole plan of
the river between the mouth of the
Hennepin canal and Andalusia on the
ground that better facilities for boats
could be provided and at a much less
expense than is now incurred.

A letter to The Argus from John H
Bernhard, of New Orleans, manager

ncunces that the Bernhard self-pro-
tial demonstration trip from New Or
leans to st. Paul will reach Rock ISL
and Tuesday afternoon, July %.
In the construction Of these boats, -
writs Mr. Bernhard, resistance to
the water has been reduced to an abb
solute minimum, fuel consumption has
been cut to a cost which does not fl
cure as an important item, and delays
and obstacles to the placing of freight
On and off the boat have been elimin-
ated.
In other words, every possible
economy has been applied. This is in
such striking contrast with the waste
of power and space and the expense
of loading and unloading in the case
of the old style river craft as to con-
stitute a complete revolution in inland
navigation.
,''As a matter of fact, these new self
propelled barges have a freight capac-

and are operated at very much less
cost.
Because of facility in loading and

Those advocating the use of the Hi

when the engineering department laid

fact that the principal commercial use

Although not fully informed it
is believed not improbable that the

government were correct in stat
ing that $4,000 Belgians engaged
against 10000 Germans in We'd
nesday's battle when the Belgians
success was complete and several
thousand Germans were killed and
many wounded.
BRUSSELS.-Two distinguish
ed German officers who were ar
rested at Ostend this morning,
had in their possession extensive
military notes and plans of great
value. They were ordered shot.
Anti-German feeling through
out Belgium has become intense
and many German designations
have occurred, they being charged
with espionage.
Every German in the city has
been brought before the police,
who are habing trouble in protect
ing the prisoners from attacks by

For a time this morning it was

south of Eveleth would be destroyed
by flames, which miracuously, passed
around the plant and continued in
their fury toward some big slashings
which lie near Long lake and Horse

in quantity and, it is believed, that
when the fire reaches them that the

The forest fire has width of near

the slashings and brush in the woods

GILBERT MAN IS
MADE DEFENDANT

Notice of the substitution of Victor
L. Power of Hibbing as attorney for
the plaintiff was filed at the office
of the clerk Of the district court this
morning in the case of Ilaj Vidovoch
VS.. Peter Banen in which the plaintiff
sues to recover $2,100 damages from
the defendant for injuries sustained
in an accidental shooting at the Ma
tional Bargain store in Gilbert on the
3rd day Of May 1912. Power is sub
stituted for John H. Norton. McGil-
very & White of Eveleth are attor-
neys for the defendant. Vidovoch in
his complaint alleges that while a
clerk in the Banen store was showing
him a revolver in an effort to make a
sale the weapon was playfully pointed
at him and in some manner dis
charged. He was shot in the hand
and side and seriously wounded. The
case comes on for trial at the next
term of the district court in Virginia.
