Harbinger of Spring. A _mild rain toda; real harbinger of spring in Be midji,- Rain began falling shortly after midnightand has continued at interrupted intervals during the greater part of the.day. The streets are a mass of slush and water and going underfoot is.de- cidedly bad. 'The snow has set- tled fully six inches:since- morn- ing, the damage to the logging roads will be great and in some sections irreparable until an- other snow.

He took charge of .the- Brain- erd and Northern’s affairs Feb- ruary 1, 1900, and ‘at that time the road extended only as far north as Bemidji. The Minnesota and Interna- tional has some very- important work before-{t-in the construc- tion line and the day is not far distant when the road will be ex- tended to the boundary line. The fact that Mr. Gemmell goes to St. Paul will give him a better ‘opportunity tobein close touch with the various departments of the road and the extensive” work. can be better looked after by him, it is thought. The fact that the other officers of the road, Supt. Strachan, Au- ditor Downie and Chief Clerk Cleaves, are to remain in Brain- erd will be pleasing news. - All three officials are popular not only with the general public but with the employes of the road.

The promotion of General Man- ager Gemmell coming at this time when President Elliott him- self is but a new man with the road, is considered a great com- pliment to the genial general manager and Significant of the fact that it did not take the head of the road long to recognize true ability and worth.
