the Semitic race, known now as the

Diamond Route Discontinued.


Official notice has been received
at the post Office here that the star
route which has run from Wheaton
to Diamond for many years past
will be discontinued at the end of
this month. Some months ago the
people of Rosholt and farmers liv-
ing in that vicinity petitioned the
post Office department for three
rural routes, one to run south and
supplying Diamond and tributary
territory. Last week the depart
ment granted the petition and
made the official notifications.
The change will work saving to
the government as it will do away
with the necessity of a stage route
and the present rural carrier out OF
Diamond will probably serve be-
tween that point and Rosholt. 1t
is probable, also, that the post
office at Diamond will be discon-
tinued. Wheaton Gazette Re-

Triple Drowine.

Near Montevideo triple
drowning affair occurred on farm
last week, Thursday, when Mrs.
Andrew Anderson and two sons
were drowned in an overflow ditch.
Three boys were engaged in carry
ing fence posts which they feared
would float away. They were
carrying them across a grade when
one of the boys slipbed off the
grade into deeper water. He
could not swim and the other two
boys went in TO help him. They
were unable to swim and the cur
rent being so swift they were car
ried out into the swift stream. The
mother who had been sitting on
the bank watching them, tried to
help the boys. Two of the boys,
one nine and the other eleven and
the mother were drowned. The
oldest, a boy of fifteen, got out by
catching hold OF some willows and
then pulling himself along a barb
wire fence. He was severely
scratched in doing so. He got out
| just in time to prevent his two little
sisters from wading out after their
mother They were already in the
water.
A call for assistance in the search
for the bodies was sent to the city
and early Friday morning large
number of men from here and
farmers from the surrounding
country were engaged in the
search which continued until the
tk.ee bodies were found.
The tragedy is one of the most
pathetic we have ever been called
upon to chronicle. The husband
and father died in February and
the widow and her boys were
struggling along in an attempt te
make botn ends meet.

ing to the specification used so
successfully by the Highway Com
missioners of Minnesota and Iowa,
40 #. wide with 20 inch deep
ditch with back sloping and %
inch rounded crown.
The Mogul moved in twelve and
one half hours, 4S per cent more
dirt than their competitor, the
Adams Graders and done it in
seven honrs less time. Besides.
the Russell built practical up-to-
date piece of road-while the
Adams made batch of thin work.
Mr.. Clapperton's aim was to
demonstrate the practibility of the
Russell Moguls as road builders
and the feasibility of the machines
when worked intelligently.
The Mogul Grader is a gigantic
road builder-has no equal in
strength, durability or capacity
The construction is carefully Ell
gineered. No weak parts, and
the total weight of over 1000 lbs. is
correctly distributed and therefore
every ounce has its task to per-
form. 1t is made to build roads at
minimum cost. On account of
its light draft it consumes less
power per cubic ward of earth
moved than any other method OF
machine.
