Here is something that
sounds good especially to the
host of friends and acquaint-
ances of the genial editor, Carl
Eastwood, of LeSueur. The
Twin City papers have it that
Carl may be appointed collector
of customs at Minneapolis to
succeed the late E. E. Smith.
Right here we wish to second
the motion and judging from
the popularity of Eastwood,
among newspaper men especi-
ally, that the choice, if it falls
his way, will be unanimously
satisfactory. Here's no, Carl.

A few weeks ago we told
under this head why Larry

not be elected governor OF

Larry comes right back at us

Usually when a mans politi-
cal prospects are punctured,
even if these prospects were
suggested by friends and not
the prospect himself, the re-
cipient does not become SC
elated as to send out a treasure
as the one sent by Larry. For
his benefit we will say that
Larry Rossman has our permits
sion to be governor. He also
has our thanks for the booklet.
We still hold, however, that no
governor has ever been elected
from the northern end of Min
nesota, Notwithstanding the
fact that we could name a
dozen or more fit to grace this
position and among which is
Larry. White blackbirds and
a northern Minnesota governor

Concerning the amount of base

that little more than 100000 had
been wagered with the four i'm

 Specimens from the mine indi- cate a gold value of $120 to $530 per ton, it was said. The mine is located in the Weaver mining dis trict, in the River range.
 Prospectors have been busy in district for some time, and the strike is expected to encourage de- velopment of placer possibilities there.
 Preparations are being made for intensive work on the Golden Age strike, it was announced.
