TRAILS TO De LOGGED

Within a few days, a crew OF
men representing the Automobile
Blue Book Publishing Company of
Chicago, will arrived in Grand
Forks and starting from there will
begin logging out the drffere 1T
automobile trails in the state.
Many important trails center in
that city and it is important that
thev be placed in the Blue Book
so that travellers may know the
termination of such trails.
The Wonderland Trail and the
Meridian Road will be the most i'm
portant to be mapped from Grand
Forks although many others will
be logged in other parts of the
state. These two highways lead
across the state. through rich
farming districts, forming an
ideal drive for motorists. The
roads are smooth along the entire
route and because of this fact,
promise to he two of the most i'm
portant drives north Of the Lin
coin Highway.
During the year considerable! q
progress will be made in promot-
ing the tourists interests in the
northwest. by offering to them
routes leading through attractive
districts intercepted by parks and
farm lands. r
A meeting was held at Red Lake
Falls recently and discussion was
held ON the subject of proposed
trail from there to Duluth which
would go through the Red Lake
Indian Reservation and eastward
to Duluth. offering direct route
through sections that have never
been tapped before and which
would make trail that could not
be surpassed for beauty. The pro-
posed thoroughfare would connect
Red Lake. the largest body of
water wholly within one state in
America. To the tourist. it would
offer opportunity to visit points
of interest on the reservation, in
cluding the modern school where
the Chippewa Indians are taught
by the government.
The big proposition confronting
the committees i'm charge of the
building of the new trail is that
of crossing the Indian reservation
as other we'll defined roads have
been built further east to the
head of the Great Lakes.
The Wonderland and Red Trail
would he connected with the new
road and a continuous trail would
then be evident from the Great
Lakes through this ana several
other western state.

BISHOP sTARIHA.


The sad news reached this city
last week, as we were about to go
to press, that the Right. Reverend
Bishop Stariha had passed. to his
eternal reward IN Laibach, Aus
tria, where he lived in retirement
since he resigned the See Of Lead,
IS. d. six Years ago.
The greater part Of the deceased
prelate s sacerdotal life was spent
in the Archdiocese Of st. Paul.
From 1871 to 1902, he was engaged
III pastoral work and for many
years occupied the position Of Vic
ar General. During the first decade
of his ministrations he organized
new parishes and missions and
erected a number of churches in
Goodhue county, attending them
from Red Wing. These were the
pioneer days and many hardships
fell to the lot Of the missionary
priest, even under the most favor
able circumstances. The zeal with
which Father Stariha devoted
himself to the interest Of his flock
endeared him to the people Of
these early days and he is still re-
membered with affection by the
older generation.
The zeal which characterized
his labors i'll Red Wing and
vicinity was, likewise, manifested
during his pastorate of the parish
Of ST. Francis de Sales in this city
which he organized and Of which
he remained in charge for nine
teen years. He built the church,
pastoral residence, parochial
school and convent, and labored
indefatigably to promote the
spiritual and temporal welfare of
the growing congregation,
When the Diocese of Lead was
erected i'll 1902, he was chosen its
first Bishop and for period Of
seven years lie labored to lay the
foundations of the Church in
Western South Dakota. When i'll
health forced him to relinquish
the arduous duties Of mission
airy bishop, he returned to his ma
tive land where the intervening
years were spent in prayerful
preparation for the final slim
mons. The announcement, of his
death will be heard with regret by
the priests of Minnesota and Of.
the Northwest, to whom he was
well known, and by the people Of
the different parishes III which he
labored. May the peace which
God grants to "the good and
faithful servant" be his forever.

A MENACE" GIVES UP THE
GHOST.


Last week S issue Of the Brown
County journal" of New UIm,
Mimi, contains the following
obituary notice4of a paper which
was once a respectable German
weekly but which deteriorated
very rapidly after it came into
the hands of the Socialists with E.
j. Buehrer as editor:
The Fortschritt, better known
as the New Ulm Menace, silently
passed away this week, without
the universe slipping cog. The
death agony was in keeping with
its propaganda. 1t died as it had
lived. The last issue contained a
valedictory in which the hand
that gave it life and furnished
nourishment received a bouquet
Of ingratitude. It was "a case
where too many cooks had spoiled
the broth.
The company which had pub
lished the paper recently decided
to sell the sheet and IN order to

TOTAL ABSTINENCE.

The determination to renounee even
the lawful use of strong drink is espe-
cially commendable as a means of
self-preservation for young men. More
than any other class OF society, they
are assailed by temptations to excess
siye drinking; and by unwise and I'M
scrupulous friends they are often
taught to regard drunkenness as a
pardonable weakness. Undoubtedly,
then, it is a wise act for young man
at the present time to erect a strong
barrier, wall of defense, to protect
himself from a most dangerous and
destructive vice.
For occasional and. habitual drunk,
ards, however, who wish to reform
and live in state ct friendship with
God, total abstinence is not mere
act of heroism, but something indis-
pensably necessary. The pledge for
them is simply firm purpose OF
amendment, manifestation OF their
desire to avoid that which they know
has been for them a proXinGate occa-
sion of sin. In many cases total abb
stinence, though It may be stern
remedy, is the only sure preventive
of incompetence, and is imperatively
demanded for the spiritual and TEN.
poral welfare of numerous families.
The man who has offended God and
debased himself by drunkenness can
not obtain an unconditional pardon.
TO obtain forgiveness from God he
must have sorrow for past offenses,
a determination to do better in the
future, and a willingness to atone for
his sins. What he must do in the
future to secure his safety can be
ascertained by examining his past ex-
perience. BY the application of these
principles, especially i'll the tribunal
of penance, the growth of virtue is
fostered and the progress of vice is
retarded.
