new TOWN ROAD FROM
SHORE ROAD TO LuTSEN

A new road has been constructed
by the town of Lutsen from the
County road down to the hotel and
post office at Lutsen, and the old
road, which was constructed along
the steep bank of the Poplar river,
has been abandoned. The new road
is very wide and a uniform grade
throughout makes it an easy climb
for teams and autos. 1t leaves the
County road about where the old
road ran and goes westerly, just
south of the school house, and makes
turn to the east just west of the
cottage occupied by Forest Ranger
Mulligan, and continues to the post
office and general store along the
shore line south Of the hotel. 1t has
been Widened out at it's terminus to
about 100 feet and an attractive iron
fence has been erected along the lake
shore for safety. Altogether it is
great improvement, both for beauti-
flying and practical standpoint, the
old road being steep and dangerous.
Misses Inga Jackson and Velna Mon
ker left for Duluth on Monday night
where they will attend the Duluth
Business University.
At special election held last
week in the town of Maple Hill, it
was voted to issue bonds in the sum
of $4,000 for road and bridge purpo-
ses. The vote was unanimous in
favor Of the bond issue. The survey
ing of a route for the new Gunf1int
road is now being done, the probable
location Of it being some distance
east Of the present road.
The Amendment Of the articles Of
incorporation of the Cook County
State Bank, published in this issue
and increasing their capital stock
from $4,000 to $4,000, is another
evidance Of the growth of the COM
munity of Cook County.

4 MEDICINE THAT 0VERCOMES
MOST OBSTINATE KIDNEY
TROUBLES

About 1904 I was bothered about two
years with a severe attack of kidney
trouble. My condition was such that
l was hardly able to drag around the
house and do my work. I did not
have any. appetite and could not rest at
night and felt more tired in the morn
ing than l did on going to bed My doc
tor treated me for about one month; he
said that I had kidney trouble, but he
did not give me any relief. By chance
one day my husband was in town and
druggists shelf and decided to bring
come home for me to try; the first bottle
gave such relief that I continued the use
of Swamp Root until I was restored to
good health, and I have had good health
for the. last ten years. I cheerfully rec
ommend Swamp-Root to others who
have kidney troubles.
Yours truly.

Has Made Study Of Buddha.

DR.. David Brainard Spooner, who
propounds the theory that Buddha was
not Hindu, as is the prevailing belief,
is an American, native of New Eng
land, and for some time has been in
the employ of the archaeology depart
ment of the government of India. 1t
Is his belief that Buddha was a Per-
sian and renegade from Zoroast7i-
anism, rather than renegade from
Hindu teaching, which also explains
a reference to Buddha in the ancient
Parsee scriptures as a hereto, a term
which could not have been used had
he not been connected originally with
Zoroastrianism, believes Doctor
Sponer. Among this explorers
achievements is the unearthing of
Buddha's bones from a mound near
Peshawur in northwestern India.

It now seems fairly settled that the
conference of Scandinavian ministers
Of state at Copenhagen was not called
because of any pending situation af.
fecting Scandinavia as a whole, but
anticipatory Of problems expected to
arise in the near future. It was con.
sidered desirable, especially by Swe-
den, that the outlook be discussed and
the argument be renewed for joint
action on questions affecting the three
countries alike. This does not neces-
sarily mean that these nations will
take up jointly any dispute of single
country, but that they will be sure to
act vigorously together where the
principle involved applies to all. No
immediate action is expected as the
result of the conference, as neither
Denmark nor Norway is excited ,r
alarmed because Of the British exam
ination of parcel post packages and
relations are not regarded as seriously
impaired. The ministers who attend
I'd the conference, however, made no

hension of all the Scandinavian coun.
tries concerning the future and there
was wholesome agreement that it
was necessary to have a complete and
thorough understanding of the situa-
ton and continued effort to place
tho neutrality of Scandinavia on such
a high plane that it would be bound
to be recognized as impartial by the
b~llfgerents. In this respect, the min
listers were in complete accord The
coming spring and summer are regard
ed AS crucial to the northern coun-
tries because of the possible naval
activities in the Baltic sea and the at
tempts by both sides to give effect to
their respective blockades. Seandi-
navia depends upon export and i'm
port trade, and their stoppage would
cause genuine disaster. AS the situa-
ton develops during the spring, there
probably will be other conferences
while many who are we'll informed be-
lieve that should the worst fears be
realized, America might be asked to
use her good offices as the greatest
neutral power in favor. of smaller
states, although such action is not con-
templated at present.

NORWAY.

Great difficulties have been placed
in the way of importation of copper.
For three months past next to no cop
per has been imported to Norway on
account of the threats of the Engliah
to capture it. Business men have con.
ferred with the British foreign depart.
ment and it is said that the English
have laid down the following rules:
Norway may import copper freely at
the rate Of imports Immediately pre-
ceding the war. If more is wanted it
may be had on condition that Norway
expert to England a corresponding
amount of raw copper from Norway.
But the chances are that Norway will
not accept this offer. Norwegian raw
copper, which is now exported to Hell
singborg, is much more expensive than
electrolytic copper. Owing to the
great number of electric plants which
are in process of construction this
matter is Of great Importance.
