COMMUNICATION


 To the children loving citizens of Seward and lovers of animals; I take this means to draw your att tention to the seriousness of condi- ticns that are existing in this city, orr city, the incest little town in the Territory (Seward). Here has been 15 dogs poisoned in the town in less than two years, by what kind If poison, cannot say, and by whom, can but guess.
 But the snakes are with us and have been for some time and they walk our streets every day; they are twins of Hickman, tie Los An geles fiend, and Gaines, the Seattle degenerate, and they would, if they could only be seen without being iL the company of your children or mine, do the same as the above lGughers of justice did to their vic tins where is the little tot no matter how we'll fed that will not through curiosity. pick up anything that fbc7 see in the street and put in the,~ mouth, and the same poisoned bait is strewn about town to get both children and dogs, alike.
 Now the parties that are doing this late children and despise animals CT every kind and never having had either of their own they hate to see anybody else having any; the fiends are neither a financial, social or a beneficial asset to the city any more than the cobble stones that come down Lowell Creek. They cannot look you in the eye and they are so snaky and mean they hate them selves. Three dogs were poisoned in Seward Thursday night, two of them belonging to MT. Gage, 8 pio- neer of Alaska, one a little pup, the ether the pups mother. The third dog belonged to Pete Lallics.
 Mr. Gage was at home in bed grief stricken over the loss of his dogs and az he said to me yesterday ',a wondered how many lives had been saved in Alaska. and elsewhere hv dogs; the medicine these little steeds of She North had carried to tte i'll; the mail and thousands and one other services the faithful an imals have always willingly perform ed.
 Probably the wheels of progress are

travelling fast and are supplanting our four-footed frienrs in Alaska perhaps we don't need dogs up here anymore. If so, fine and dandy, all the more reason why we should get busy now before some mother is -lamenting the loss of her loved one; even poisoned weiners thrown about the neighborhood would be picked ID and eaten by the little tots that roam around the streets innocently playing.
 Citizens, I say, let's put up a good reward will head the list with any one in town to try and get the sIlu1ks.

Fond Du Lac, Mimi, when it was only
tiny trading post covering under a

A vigorous campaign, advocating
the adoption at the general election
in November of State Constitutional
Amendment No. 1.-The gasoline tax
amendment-will be started Septem-
Der 1, according to announcement
made in st. Paul this week by Senator
l. P. johnson of Ivanhoe, president of
the Gasoline Tax Amendment Com

duct this campaign.
Amendment No. 1 provides for plac-
ing one third of the state gasoline tax
in the state highway and bridge fund

dition to the money obtained from
automobile license taxes.
To Explain Plan.
According to Senator johnson,
speakers will be sent into every coun-
ty in the state to explain Amendment

Washington, July 25-Judging from
the number of Investigations being
conducted by governmental depart
ments or in contemplation, the Seven
ty-first congress will be more flooded
with legislative matters than ever be-
fore in the history of the country.
The federal trade commission, one of
the most active bureaus in the CAPT.
tai city today, has employed corps
of specialists on utility affairs to
compile information from records in
offices of large power utility holding
and service companies, to be intro
duced as evidence in the commits
sion's inquiry into the industry. Legis-
lative agents, representing every con-

blast these humid summer days pre-
pairing arguments and measures to be
presented to congress on the opening
day.
Secretary of State kellogg and his
corps of assistants have been extre-
mely busy making arrangements for
the multi-lateral treaty for the out
lawry of war, which probably will be
signed in Paris the last week in Aug

as to the fate of Secretary Kellogg's
peace treaty. Many feel confident
that it is the solution for the proven
ton of future wars, while others see

NEWS AMONG SCANDINAVIANS

Sixty-four Danish college boys ar
Immediately sent to American homes
in that city as well as in Boston, Phil
adelphia, Hartford and New Britain,
Conn.,, and other eastern cities where
they will be the guests of the parents
of similar number of American
boys who visited homes in Denmark
last year. Upon their arrival in New
York, the boys were given an official
reception at the city hall, and then
assigned to their hosts. In the latter
part of August the boys will assemble
hin New York again, and after having
attended dinner and dance given by
the New York chapter of the Ameri-
can-Scandinavian Foundation will re-
turn to their native land.
Monument Unveiled.
In the presence of about 5000
people a Theodore Roosevelt monu-
ment was unveiled at Tenafly, N. j.,
few days ago, and one reason why
the Norwegian-American contingent
of the crowd was as impressive as it
was reported to have been, was that
the monument is the work of Trygve
Hammer, Norwegian sculptor who
has lived in the United States for
several years. The monument, des-
cribed by critics as an exceptionally
valuable contribution to modern
American art, is very elaborate, and
comprises among its many details a

Announcement is made by the
Swedish-American Line that some
time this year it will complete work
on a new vessel, Kungsholm, 10000
tons, to be used in regular passenger
traffic between Gothenburg and New
York. The line at the present time has
three steamers in this service, and
the new vessel will be an addition,
not a replacement. The Kungsholm
will be motor-propelled as will also

Gets Honorary Degree.
Carl Bratli of Copenhagen, Den

of Madrid, Spain, in recognition of his
services by making Spanish language

AsKov PINE COUNTY MINNESOTA THURSDAY JULY 2e,
Pine County
Has Number of
Good Resorts
Recreation Grounds of This Area
Proving Drawing Cards
to Tourists.

Pine county indeed seems fortunate
in the number of adequate facilities
it has for the accommodation of tour
lists.
Take, for instance, the Midway"
tourist camp just on the southern out
skirts of Pine City.
Midway" is operated by Mr.. and
Mrs. E. j. Prizes and has virtually ev-
cry convenience for the camper. 1t
consists of seven acres, with room
for expansion to 10 acres altogether.
There are tables, stoves, electric
lights, wash room, sanitary toilets
with the automatic flush and hot and
cold water and shower bath. A ten
mis- court is also to be added. Then,
too, drinking water is obtained from
a 135-foot we'll, and is adjudged 100
per cent pure.
Many Pretty Trees.
The grounds of Midway" are liter
ally dotted with old and beautiful
shade trees, such as oak, Eastwood,
butternut and elm-all good protectors
from the wind, rain and sun.
The camp stands on a knoll, over
looking a most beautiful landscape.
There is a good breeze all the time
and one of the best recommendations
known, is that it is unusually free of
mosquitoes.
Midway" is used a great deal as
meeting place for tourists from the
northern and southern parts of the
state, and it is approximately midway
between the Twin Cities and the Twin
Ports. =
Rates Nominal.
Charges for accommodations are
nominal, being 25 cents per car and
family for day use of the grounds, and
so cents for overnight when tent is
put up. Gasoline and Oil are sold on
the premises, as aisT are refresh
ments and some groceries. There are
swings for children, and tents are on
hand for rent.
Camp PhareS. nr.r
Then, within one mile of Pine City,
is Camp Phares on the east shore of
Cross lake with its many comfortable
cottages, fine bathing beach, etc.
This place is operated by George w.
Phares and wife, and it too, is proving
to be most popular resort.
Last but not least, it seems appro-
pirate to mention Island hotel on Lake
Pokegama. The hotel is large and
well-equipped and there are numerous
good summer cottages for rent. This
resort is four miles from Pine City
and located in beautiful surroundings.
DIR. Eachus, Wife, Owners.
Island hotel is owned and operated
by DIR. and Mrs. Howard T. Eachus.
In addition, there are numerous
other popular places throughout Pine
county, to which reference will be
made in later articles. There are
many on beautiful Pine lake, on
Grindstone lake, on Sturgeon lake, and
in short, Pine county is literally sup
piled with those things which go to
make for an enjoyable outing, whether
it be for day. week, month or longer.
