4Le beefsteak Club returned to
The city last evening after having
spent a day in catching fish at
baInum they visited with Uncle
George Wood while down there and
report that the party being chaper-
oned by Uncle George are having
fine week OF it. The rain that
visited this city yesterday did not
reach down as far as Barnum.
Well the 81 worth OF beefsteak
disappeared all right and the club
caught ~ fish, u pike and d bull
head. Not quite correct, the bull
head was not caught by a member
OF the club, but by visitor, and

first time buIIhead has been caughA
BY lawyer. But, that story about
the bullnead is d good oIee-It seems
that this lawyer person claims some
sn4ll as a lander OF fish suckers not

what he Coulu do. AS he sat in
the boat drowning the minnoW on
his hook, he felt a tug, and quick
ly grasping the crank on his reel
started to puH the fish in. He pull
ed and tugged and the fish fought
hard. The fish was gradually drawn
near the boat, the fish suddenly be
coming angry jumped out of the wa
ter directly at the fisherman, hit
him in the northeast eye and knock
ed him overheard. There was great
excitement in the immediate Vicini-
ty of that fish and fisherman-they
became so tangled up that the other
members Of the party could not tell
which was the fish and which was
the fish and which was the man.
''Meow''-then they knew which was
the fish and wbic was tie man.
What the man said, PostmastS%
Nash says, the postal laws forbid
our publishing. Well the fish was
captured all right after a good deal
Of excitement. And then it was
caught again. One of the party tied
a string around the cat fish's neck
and when the other members of the
party were not looking, put it back
in the river and proceeded to
catch it the second time. He was
nearly Iynched for trying to fool the
crowd. The catfish was over feet
long.
The camping party entertained O
yer twenty guests at a chOwder
party in the evening.

ALEADINC STATE

While minnesota is without dol

treasurer announces that he has a.
bout 100000 in bonds of other
states, held by Minnesota. 1t should
be a scarce of qualification to the
citizens and tax payers of any state
to find themselves in the lending
class rather than the borrowing. Min
&esota is prosperous prosperous be-
.ause she has conserved many of

FIX UP THE PLovER ROAD.

A large number Of auto tourists
have been coming thru Grand Rapids
the last week. They have been sent
thru this city owing to work that is
being done on the Yellowstone Trail.
These tourists complain bitterly
about the condition Of the road en-
tering the city from the east on the
PIoyer road. interviewed by a Re
porter representative, some Of the
tourists said that in all the travel
ing they had done this season, they
had not encountered roads that were
in such poor condition as this road.
They asked why the city did not
do something to improve the road.
Suggestions We're made as to how
the work could be lonesome thot
it would be a good plan for the
Grand Rapids Automobile Club to
arrange with the farmers along the
road to all get out some day and
work on the road. Not only would
this benefit the city, but it would be-
nefH the farmers as we'll.
something ought to be done. Just
now. the tourists are being sent a
round this way and if they find the
roads in the condition they claim
them to be in, Grand Rapids will be
avoided as much as possible by tour
lists using the Yellowstone Trail
Now is the time to do something and
let these people know that they can
find good roads entering the city
OF Grand Rapids and not let them
so away from here and spread the
story that the roads are unfit for
travel.
The principal cause for this bad
pfece OF road is due to the heavy
Bron Truck that carries freight and
passengers over this road from the
old scnnaveIy place into the city.

Three accidents have been record

one was where a boy ran across the
street and directly IN front of a
