Lightning did a neat job of cleo
trical welding near the Axel Birk-
holm farm east of town Wednesday
morning of last week when it struck
a telephone pole and practically de-
stroyed half a mile of wire. Accord
ing to samples brought into town by
workmen the wire was twisted and
welded together by the BLACKSMITH
of the sky in very neat and substan-
tial fashion. No other damage was
done with the exception of consider
able shock being administered to the
Birkholm family when the bolt struck.

books will be placed in the school Ii
brary where it is hoped and urged
that they will be used freely both by
school students and adults. The so
ciety wishes to express their appreci-
alton to everyone who assisted in one
way or another to make the affair

1t is really remarkable how gossip
ers can spread false rumors. In this
connection it has just been brought
to the attention of the park commit
tee that they had heard that the
water supply in Kettle River park
had been tested and found not fit to
use, contained diseases, etc., etc."
For that reason it is well to state
here that the water in the park has
NOT been tested or analysed. The
spring water at the north end of the
park is however likely the finest and
purest water available in the COM
munity, as is also the spring water at
the east end of the lily pond bridge.
AS for the water from the cistern pump
in the center of the park, it might be
well, just to play safe, to boil it be-
fore using it. Arrangements are be-
ing made to have the water tested
and if there is anything wrong with
it the source of supply will be elimi-
mated.
