Napoleon and a Submarine.

The idea of submarine navigation is not so modern as many people imagine. When Napoleon was banished to St. Helena a notorious smuggler named Johnstone conceived the idea of assist ing the dethroned monarch to escape. In Scott's Life of Napoleon" he says:
 "A submarine vessel was to be the means of effecting this enterprise. It was thought that by sinking the vessel during the daytime she might escape the notice of the British cruisers and, being raised at night, might approach the guarded rock without discovery. The vessel was actually begun in one of the building yards upon the Thames; but, the peculiarity of her construction having occasioned suspicion, she was seized by the government

GUARD NAVAL POWDER PLANT
Daniels Asks Congress For Fund For
 Protection.

Reported plots to blow up the naval powder factory at Indian Head, Md, are giving Secretary of the Navy Dan- iels such deep concern that he contem- plates asking congress for funds to pro- vide protection. The guard has been doubled, but the navy department de- sires means of effectively protecting the valuable plant.
 In explaining the danger to the fac tory Secretary Daniels said:
 Suspicious looking characters have been found on more than one ocasion in the vicinity of the powder factory, and the chances of such persons secur- ing information inimical to our inter- ests or of doing harm would undoubt- edly be greatly diminished if the de sired protection were provided"

EMPIRE BUILDER PASSES AWAY
James j. Hill, Builder of The Great
Northern Railway, Died
Monday Morning


James Jerome Hill, one of the
very greatest of American business
men, passed away at $3.50 Monday
morning at his beautiful home in
st. Paul. BY order of the governor
of the state all flags on the capitol
and state buildings were hung at
half mast in tribute to the departed
railroad master.
Mr.. Hill was born near Guelph,
Ontario, Canada, and came to the
United States while yet in his teens
to seek his fortune. Securing a po-
sition with steamboat company in
st. Paul he turned his entire genius
for development into the field of
transportation, When he started to
build the Great Northern railway
from st. Paul to the Pacific he was
made the butt of much skeptical
scoffing. But he built the road and
farms and towns along with it. He
turned expert farmer and boosted
the northwest into rapid CONNER
cial rise.
James ]. Hill died an Immensely
Wealthy and honored man He was
worth more to his country than
money could pay. His business In
terests pass to the control of his son,
Louis.
The funeral services were held at
his residence, May 81. Thousands
lined the streets and neighborhood.
Catholic burial service was used.

ALMOST LOST LIFE IN
THE BLACKFOOT RIVER

NJ. C. Thompson, a rancher, was
nearly drowned while crossing the
Blackfoot river five miles below the
dam last Tuesday. He was trying
to take load of barb-wire across,
and when in mid-stream one of his
horses stumbled against large boul-
der and the swift current swept him
off his feet. Mr.. Thompson tried to
unharness the team and was almost
caught himself by the fierce flow.
One of the horses was torn away
with part of the harness on and
drowned. Mr.. Thompson stayed with
the wagon until he could get to shore
with the other horse.

You'd Better Pay
Your Water Rent

The water commissioner, chair
man of the water committee, and
the city attorney have been instruc-
ted by the city council to prepare
an ordinance,t to bring before the
council at the next regular meeting,
which<will regulate and adjust the
city water rates in anticipation OF
an enforced advance on the order
of the state public utility commits
sion. The rates at present are in
adequate to provide sufficient reve-
nue. for the maintenance of the
system.
Many consumers have been with
holding payment pending an ad.
justment, but it is well for those
who wish to take advantage of the
low prevailing rate to pay their
bills at once. When the new rates
are put into effect, there will be
no rebates or concessions of any
kind, except that the council will
endeavor to continue the practice
of giving free water to the religious
bodies, although even this will
probably not be permitted.
