AMUNDS0N QUITS BOARD;
R. J. COOLE FILLS VACANCY

At a special meeting of the board
of education held last Tuesday eve
ming, the resignation of director o.
A. Amundson was received and &C
copied. To fill the vacancy, the
board elected Robert J. Coole, a
West Duluth machinist for the C. N.
R., who formerly was president of
the Trades and Labor assembly.
Although picked out and elected by
the autocrats on the board, Mr..
Coolies selection is credited to or
ganized labor, therefore expected to
keep that element in line for the
policies of J. r. McGiffert and his
followers on the board.
Director Firoved stated that Mr..
Coolies selection was not endorsed
unanimously, at least, by organized
labor. He felt that the section pre-
viously represented by Mr.. Amund-
son should have word in selecting
his successor, therefore nominated
Victor Dash, the Big Chief of Smith
vile.
Madam Davis expressed the
opinion that Mr.. Dash's selection
would be a practical introduction of
politics into school board matters,
for the reason that he had been a
candidate for commissioner. there

COUNTY COMMISSIONERS PLAN
BOND ISSUES.

At a meeting of the board Of
county commissioners last Tuesday,
the issue of bonds in the sum Of
$1,350,000 for bridge purposes was
authorized. OF these bonds, $780,
900 will be sold at $3.50 a. M, June
Z. They will mature in ten years
and bear per cent interest.
The authorized issue, of bridge
bonds, which does not have to go to
the people for a vote, was appor-
toned among the districts as fol-
lows, viz: First, $4,000; Second,
$104,OO0; Third, $4,000; Fourth,
$125,000; Fifth, $245,000; Sixth,
$364,000; Seventh, $460,000.
Whether the bridges will be the
old-fashioned Tom Dinham kind or
the more modern, broken-backed con-
crete kind, such as Bert Kribsback
can build, was not stated.
The commissioners also arranged
for a special county election on July
1, for the purpose of voting on the
issue of bonds in the sum of $780,
900 for the purpose of building 270
miles of state roads in the county.

WINNIPEG BUILDS
HUGE ACQUEDUC7
Concrete Conduit Carries City
Water Ninety-Six Miles
From ShodI Lake.
Winnipeg has a new water supply

Winnipeg has new water supply
system. A concrete conduit, eight
feet in diameter, ninety-six miles
long, and costing $15,000,000 has
just been completed and the water
has been turned into the city mains.
The aqueduct has been pronounced
one of the worlds major engineering
feats. 1t is in it's way victory me-
mortal. It was begun in 1914 and
built in the four years of war. Only
four cities in the world have gone
further for their water.
The aqueduct brings 85,00O,00O
gallons every twenty-four hours from
Shoal Lake, an arm of the Lake of
the Woods, the famous haunt of
sportsmen, southeast Of Winnipeg.
Shoal Lake has an area of 107 square
miles. The Lake of the Woods has
an area of 1900 square miles. The
lakes are 800 feet above the level
Of the city and the flow of water
is sustained by gravity.
The conduit tunnels under the Red
river, Whitemouth river and several
smaller streams. It passes twenty
feet beneath the bed of Red river
through solid limestone. The length
Of river siphons and pressure Sec
lions is seven miles.
Winnipeg in it's early history, OBJ
tanned its water from Red river. Fiji
teen years ago after several typhoid
epidemics, system of artesian wells
was established. But while excel
lent for drinking, the artesian water
was so hard it ruined boilers, water
tanks and city mains and had to be
chemically softened for household
purposes.
The new supply of soft lake water
will save the citizens annually
$1,161,OOO in chemical softening
plants; 100000 in scale and corro-
sion in pipes; $4,000 in cisterns
and tanks; $4,000 in boilers; and
$4,000 in hot water heaters, to say
nothing of the reduction in the year.
ly bills for soaps and laundry work.
To build the aqueduct, the city
constructed it's own standard-gauge
railway and telegraph line. The
road is 10 miles long and its loco
motives and lis cars are valued at
$1,439,522. Several thriving towns
sprang up along the steel and farm
ers began to settle in the country
which was before wilderness. The
road will now be maintained in reg
ular operation. The city also oper-
ated it's own gravel pits, rock quar-
ries and cement plants.

FORSHADOWINGS.

Where once they walked and
heard the wihpporwill
And felt what all may feel, but
none disclose,
Fond memories of lovers wander
still
In that sweet shade that only
moonlight throws.
Soft memories keep watch in grove
and dell,
Embowered hooks and paths that
curve and stray,
For true-souled maids who bravely
said farewell
And gallant lads who bravely
marched away.
So may they walk, dear dreams, on
heath and shore,
Through billowy field and under
sheltering tree,
Not wistful ghosts that whisper,
"Nevermore,"
But gladden. wraiths of what again
shall be!

The Cloquet Lumber company
has brought suit against twelve diff
ferent fire insurance companies for
the collection of insurance in the
sum of $4,000. This sum is spread
over seventeen different policies,
some for $4,000 each and some for
$4,000 each. The losses occurred
on the evening of October IL, 1918,
as a result of the terrible forest
fires that swept through six differ
emit counties in Northern Minnesota
and, among other damage, totally
destroyed the little sawmill city of
Cloquet.
The Cloquet Lumber Company car
ries on its chief operations at Clo-
quet and is distinctly a Weyerhaeus-
er corporation. The insurance COM
panies are authorized to carry on
business in the state of Minnesota
hence they have more or less national
prominence. The policies were issued
by Duluth agencies, therefore the
seventeen different suits for recov-
cry have been started in st. Louis
county.
The prominent law firm of Abbott,
McPherran & Gilbert represents the
Weyerhaeuser interests. A summons
and complaint has been served and
filed against the several companies
in each and every policy, as follows:

The companies are identical in all
respects except as to the names OF
the defendant companies and differ
ences in size of some of the policies.
Several companies have more than
one policy. No policy is for less
than $4,000 and none for more than
$4,000. The complaints contain al
legations as follows, viz:
1.-The plaintiff Cloquet Lumber
Company is and has been for many
years, a corporation, engaged in the
manufacture and sale of lumber,
lath, shingles, ties, posts, poles, slabs
and other timber products at Clo-
quet, Carlton Co., MINI.
2.-The defendant company Tin
each case), according to information
and belief of the plaintiff, is cor
poration engaged in soliciting and
writing insurance against loss by
fire in the state Of Minnesota.
3.-On and prior to October -,
1918, the plaintiff was owner Of a
large amount of lumber and other
timber products in what is known as
the East Yard at Cloquet.
4.-October IL, 1918, on or about
2:30 p. M, the defendant Gin each
case), for a valuable consideration
insured plaintiff, from noon Of that
day, for one year, against loss by
fire, (for sum stated in respective
policies) on lumber, lath, shingles,
poles, ties, posts slabs and other
timber products in the PLAINTIFFS
East Yard.
In each and every complaint, 1t
further is alleged that the net value
of the timber products in said East
Yard was $630,520.66.
5.-After said agreement, in the
night of October IL, 1919, fire broke
out and burned and totally destroyed
lumber and timber products in the
East Yard of the Cloquet to its full
value, causing total loss.
cat the time of the fire, there
was insurance on the property in the
aggregate of $406,500, including the
sum represented in the policy or pol
icies of each defendant.
THE Cloquet Lumber Co., Gin
each complaint), alleges that, at the
time the agreement for insurance
was entered into, between plaintiff
and defendant, said defendant knew
that additional insurance was in
force on the property and consented
thereto and entered into the agree
ment with a knowledge of the fact
that additional insurance on such
lumber was in full force and effect.
8.-Allegation is made that, be-
fore the action was started, praintiff
duly rendered to the defendant Tin
tach and every CASEY the premium for
the insurance, which said premium
was refused by the defendant COM
panies.
9.-December 81, 1918, the plain
tiff, the Cloquet Lumber Company,
filed proof of loss by fire. "More
than sixty days have expired since
presenting proof" say the seven
teen different complaints, "but the
defendant has neglected and refused
to pay the claims and interest from
February %, 1919"
The plaintiff Cloquet Lumber
Company, therefore, demands judy
ment with interest and costs anc

dated April 8, 1919, and in each ac-
