The dance and supper given st, night by the local Modern amaritan lodge was the most suceessful event of the kind in the history of the lodge. It was intended tohold the dance at ©dd Fellows hall. where the re- gular meeting of the Samaritans take place, but’' when all the Samaritaus and their friends had arrived it was found that the hall was far too small to - accommo- date the crowd, which repaired to the Masonic hall, where danc- ing was indulged in .until.12 o'clock. At ‘this hour ' refresh- ments were ahnounced and those in attendance- at the dance| returned to'the Odd Fellows hall where an excellent: repast - was awaiting them. This disposed of, dancing was again indulged in until an early hour this morning, ! i Mrs. Knott’s Father Dead. L. W.

In fact, the scramble has been so great that the force employed at the treasurer’s office. has been increased considerably. Unless personal property taxes ‘are paid before Feb. 28, a penalty of 10 per cent is added and a list of delinquent taxes.is placed in the hands of the clerk of court, who issues . personal- property tax warrants and turns them over to the sheriff for collection. . The advantage of paying taxes before the time for payment has expired is evident, as the 10 per cent penalty and-costs of collec- tion -are-added to - the original sum of the taxes, thus making the amount considerably larger. Tomorrow is the last day before the penalty attaches. Sale.of State Lands.

BELTRAMI COUNTY. IS LAST DAY |SURVEYORS ARE- RUNNING LINES For Proposed Soo Extension From Carrington, N. D., to flqad of the Lakes. Brainérd, Dispateh: There has rable tallk about a xtension of the Soo - |road from: Carrington, N. D., to the'head of the lakes, but these rumors‘have <besn' viewed" with considerable itcredulity, until a few. days ago when surveyors made their appearance morth of . here, Some of the reports given out is'to the effect' that the line would run south of Leech Lake, but the like being taken 'is this side of Leech Lake and it is probable that it will cross the M. & I. between Hackensack and Hunters station. This proposed line it is figured would cut the mileage from a large and prosperous territory to the head of the lakes almost in two, and would be good, warm competition for the Northern Pacific and the Great Northern.

Testifies Regarding His Connection With Canal Affairs. ‘Washington, Feb. 27.—William Nel- son Cromwell appeared before the sen- ate committee on interoceanic canals during the day and made a lengthy statement regarding his relations with the Panama canal. He detailed his connection with the canal enterprise, nsserting that his participation ix its affairs since the purchase by the Unit- ed States had been by invitation.. The only compensation. he had received from the United States was that as attorney of the ,Panama railroad, a positien he had held before the United Btates had acquired the road.
