What might have been seri-
GUS accident Wednesday morning
when Mrs. Edna Wilson and
daughter, Mrs. ArSerbun started
to the Farmers Union picnic.
The flies irritated the horse so
that she started to run, when
they first got in the buggy. when
they tried to stop her they found
that one line had not been snap
ped to the bride, which caused
her to run in a circle, overturn-
ing the buggy and throwing the
occupants to the ground with con
siderable force. They were both
badly bruised and strained but
no serious injuries. The ladies'
concluded their picnic at home.
The buggy top was demolished.

An oldtihe son of the Fatherland
was reading the evening news after
the days work was ended. CHANGING
over the various headlines, his eyes
fell on one which threatened to call for
the services Of Sherlock Holmes or
Il Philo Gubb.
He read and reread, mutterng the
puzzling words over and over to him
self. He wiped his glasses. turned up
the light and looked again. But the
words read exactly the same.
Some terrible thing had fallen on
the front Of street car ct Niagara
Falls and killed a motorman. The old
Germans son just then stepped. into
the room, and was amazed to hear his
father say "Well, I'll be hanged-Ic-
kick-Ic-kick-kel What in the - is
an ic-iick-kel?'
The son took the paper and read
that large icicle, breaking from the
gorge. had fallen on the passing car
and had killed the motorman.

Lake Crystal

M. j. Barney and Evan T. James of
Lake Crystal, spent last week in
Northern Minnesota, looking over
some land owned by Mr.. Barney in
the vicinity of Deer River. They drove
out by auto in different directions and
were greatly surprised to find the
roads as good in that district as they
are in the southern part of the state
Foresa fires were raging in all direc-
lions and nearly everyone was en-
gagged in fighting the flames, although
but little actual loss was sustained.
Small settlers who live in remote
districts and have not cleared up the
land around their buildings have oc-
|casionally burnt out, but the settler
who is progressive and has protected
himself by fire breaks or by clearing
the land looks at these fires as bless
instead of curse. The future for the
country from an agricultural stand
point is great, Generally speaking the
soil is good and the country is
generally level. The large drainage
'ditches that have been put in are a
great benefit and where the forest fire
sweeps over a section it kills the I'M
a great saving to the settler in clear
ing his land. The people of that
country are lumbermen and do not
realize the great possibilities that lie
in the development of this country as
an agriculture district, that in cutting
off the timber for commercial pur-
poses only brings a small profit Ed
Chill of Deer River, who represents
several large timber companies that
have placed their lands on the mar
ket, escorted the party over tho coun-
try and over their lands, Mr.. Chill is
an old cruiser and thoroughly familiar
with life in the timber. There is a
great future in this district for men
with capital to buy a tract of this land
and fence it and use it to pasture
cattle during the summer. Glover and
Timothy grows more abundant in
this district than in any other part
of the state and from SIS to $25 profit

A box factory and veneer factory
located in Deer River buy all timber
down to five inch top, from the
farmers. The steel corporations have
become very active since the rapid
advances in the price Of steel and
iron and have several drilling outfits
prospecting in the western part of
Itasca county. Artesian, wells are
secured by driving a point about forty
feet into the ground. The numerous
