DOUBLE TRACK THIS Year
ON N. P. FROM RICEs TO LITTLE
FA1Is-MAY CHANGE LINE
TO STAPLES

There is a report in circulation that
the Northern Pacific will this wear wear
continue double-tracking in this d.
vision, and that this summer will see
the extension of the double track from
Rice to Little Falls. While no Off
clal information has been given out.
the report is thought reliable. It is
known that the Northern Pacific man.
agement is laboring to improve con.
dltlons. on it's lines, reducing grades,
STRENGTHENING curves and making
travel safer as well as more comfort.
able for passengers, also making it
possible to improve the freight traf.
tic situation. The Northern Pacific
has always ranked as the most pro
gressive Of the great transcontinental
lines, and its double tracking is par
t1cularly in the line Of progress.
1t is also understood that the new
survey for better grades between Lit.
tie Falls and Staples has been ap-
proved. It will not deviate much
from the present line, but will be
very much easier in grades, although
somewhat longer in distance.

etc. Two parole agents, man and a
woman, travel over the state and visit
those on parole from the institution
and enlighten those around them how
to get along with them and how to
care for them properly. These agents
have helped great deal to enlighten
the people as to the treatment Of one
who is mentally deranged.
Insanity, Mr.. Vasaly said, is not
disgrace to anyone and should be
considered a disease the same as ty-
phoid or scarlet fever. There is a
great fear OF insane persons but it is
q fact that if they are treated right
they are harmless in most instances.
There are some who are violent but
these are comparatively few and they
are safe in the institution. The prob.
lem Of the insane is a serious one as
the percentage is continually growing,
at the rate of 2 to per cent per
year. Minnesota is one of the high
percentage states in the union and
the need of a fourth institution fol-
the care of these. patients is already
being felt. The hospitals are crowded
and at the Rochester institution many
sleep on cots in the Railways. The
Anoka institution now has a popula.
tion Of nearly 900, and the population
limit is considered 1000. The speaker
stated that he considered it q great
mistake to have too large popula-
ton, even though the cost Of caring
for the inmates might be reduced ii
this way, as they could not be given
the proper attention and care.
Mr. Vasaly spoke briefly on the in.

An attempt at assault on the person

He gave evidence to show that he
was in another town that day.
The young girl was attacked by
the man on her way home from school
and she told her mother about it upon
arriving home, describing the man as
one about 35 or 40 years old. Her
husband was gone on business trip
and when he returned on Saturday
she told him of the affair, whereupon
he notified Sheriff Felix. He took
his daughter to a physician for medi-
cal attendance but her condition was
not serious. .,.ss..s.ss5}f. 4+'.

CIVIC LEAGUE

The regular monthly meeting Of
the Civic League was held on Tues
. day.
The visiting nurse made her final
report of work done and rendered
her resignation to take effect imme-
dately, which was accepted. She was
engaged for a period Of three months
but served not quite two. The league
will not engage any nurse until next
fall or winter.
The league also decided to join the
Minnesota Federation of Woman 3
clubs and application to that effect
was duly signed and the membership
dues paid.
The president was also authorized
to appoint four delegates to the dis
trict convention of the Minnesota
Federation of Woman's clubs to be
held at Deerwood May and 10, such
delegates, however, to pay their own
expenses.
The league also decided on the last
Saturday in the month of September
as the annual Tag Day for the league.
Mr.. Kasparek of the Park commit
tee made report touching the mat
ter of planting trees along Broadway
west. Nothing definite was decided
but Mr.. Kasparek was authorized to
go ahead and do the best he could in
the matter. Mr.. Kasparek also re-
ported that he had secured the ap-
pointment of special policeman to act
in the Pine Grove Park on Sundays,
that said policeman would serve free
of charge.
The president was requested to
urge the Membership committee to So
licit members and if he was unable
to get the committee to do anything
then to engage some person to try to
sell membership cards and pay him

I believe that the principle inyolv-

not be made light of. 81 Il :s t.s.s 5e,

specifically made, and Ordinances

will be hard to tell when and where
it will end; why and to whom it shall

The ordinance refuses police . pro-.

Gentlemen Of the council, I have
no objection whatever to the Chau-
tauqua coming to our city, and T. do
not believe that the minimum license
Of Fifteen dollars, an insignificant
amount to pay or to receive, could
interfere with its visit to Little Falls,
but, if the council thinks so, and de-
sires that the ordinance shall become
effective, it may do so without my

whole responsibility of its action.

caused anNexaminatdnn to made sm tha
remains, since they we're laid to their

Miss Had, who had been working
in q hotel in Minneapolis this spring,
was taken seriously i'll there the lat
ter part Of last February and was
taken to the City hospital there TO,
An operation, being told that she had
appendicitis. On March IL she passed
away. --..
In the meantime Mr.. Had visited
his daughter in Minneapolis on two
occasions, the last time just q few
days before her death. It was when
the body was brought home for burial
that he took steps to have an autopsy
performed, as it came home in cop
per casket and the death certificate
stated that death resulted from diph
liberia and lobar pneumonia, with
hardening Of the membranes around
the heart as contributory, whereas he
had understood that she had appendi
citis. The autopsy disclosed. that the
girl did not have diphtheria as there
was no trace of the culture of this dis.
ease in her throat. The autopsy also
disclosed an incision about ten inches
in length on the abdomen, which il
was believed was made after the
gril's death. This was taken to in.
dicate that the hospital physicians
held post mortem.
It is understood that MI. Had will
make further investigation into the

Ragman and Scientist.

here is said to be shortage OF Dapcr-
making material in the United States at this
time Why this condition exists 10 any apprcci-
dbIc extent is question difficult to adequately
and satisfactorily answer. 1t is as1rbed to a
shortage OF wood pulp importationS to stoppage
OF rag imports, and to other consequences Of the
existing war conditions in Europe The Depart
mcnt OF Commerce in Washington at the reques ST
or paPermakcrs, has asked the people Of the
United States 10 save their old paper and RAGS
tor the rag1nan and other collectors who arc
coming INTO renewed importance since such ma
tcriSIs S IN some quarters have risen to a volume
OF SIS or more per ton.
e. he statement that factories in the United
States daily produce 5000 tons Of various
grades OF paper and board, and that rags and
waste paper are used in this product, gives some
idea OF the importance of the matter. The
humble ragman IS more easily recognized as a
valuable member of the industrial community in
his cheap tin horn.
But the more important phase of the situation
lies in the fact that the invcntivcncss and re-
Sourcetul ness OF Americans have been so long
and so tar at fault as to permit a shortage Of
paPermaklng materials to arise In country
such as the United States it ought to be and
undoubtedly is possible to find or develop effici-
tcrlals. Something OF this sort is indeed even
now being attempted in Montgomery Ala, where
experiments are being carried on to utilize the
hitherto wasted cotton stalks in making pulp
tor paper mills Some of those scientists now
so enthusiastically devOting themselves to nvest-
eating the family customs of fleas and ladyhugs
might wisely postpone such fascinating employ
ing matters as seeking pulp materials Surely in
the matters OF Papermakng materials it ought
to be possible for the scientist to outdo the
lowIy ragman.-Detroit Free Press.
