The Pequot Enterprise has been combined with the Pequot Review and the village now has but the one paper. The first combined edition presented an attractive appearance. It Certainly Is. The Brainerd Dispatch says: midji is powerless to regulate the speed of automobiles under the state law according to the opinion of its city attorney. That should be good news to the Beltrami county joy rid- ers.”” It certainly is! And the Crow ‘Wing joy riders can be happy too for the same city attorney says that the law applies to all cities of this class. The White Earth Matter. The Pioneer has been supplied by Congressman Steenerson with several columns of illustrated matter per- taining to conditions on the White Earth reservation and some Indian history as it looks to Mr. Steenerson. This matter will be published but the Pioneer wishes its readers to under- stand that it does not agree with all that is printed. The matter is fur- nished in plate form and cannot be changed in this office. The Pioneer has also arranged for a short series by a man who is in close touch with White Earth affairs. This series will bé printed after the Steenerson matter and in some re- spects will be a refutation and cor- rection of certain things said by Mr. Steenerson. There are many people in this part of the state directly in- terested in the White Earth affair and Mr. Steenerson’s point of view may be enlightening in some particu- «Be-| General Review of Trade. The dry goods market is still ad- vancing. Prices on cotton fabrics still going upward. As an illustra-. tion of what is doing and that no de- clines are to be expected, fruit of the loom muslin is today 8 1-2¢ at the mill. The . cause of the general strength of the market is two fold, the increased cost of raw materials and thes trengthening demand for manufactured articles. The chant who buys in the present mar- ket is buying wisely for prices will yet go higher. In groceries the sugar market has been much demoralized, these condi- tions being due-to the political un- settling agitation on both raw and refined. Dried fruits have sagged Old tea stocks are being well cleaned up. Prices are firm with demand good. Other jobbing lines are moving well with firm prices.—Duluth Trade News. mer- off some. —_— _ Books of Youth.

Tests of a new touring system, in. vented by a German engineer, Herr Koss, have recently been madé on the Dortmund Ems Canal, which give promise that the invention will be a Buccess. An elastic rail is laid at the bottom of the canal, and the tugboat :arries at its bottom four rollers which clasp this rail. These rollers are oper- ated from the boat which is thus pro- pelled. A large economy of power is claimed for this method. The experi- mental tug i8 worked by electricity, the energy being obtained through a cable irom an auxiliary. boat equipped with a dynamo. This, however, is on- Iy an experiment, and in ordinary working a trolley wire would be in- stalled alongside the canal. Electri- cal operation can obviously be re- placed by crude oil motors, ete., each barge being fitted with a set of rollers acting on the rail. Unknown Lower California. The interior of Lower California is today nearly blank on our maps and 1s possibly less well known from a geographical and a geological stand- point than any other region of equal srea in North America. The Mexican government has at last begun a thor- ough explorntlon of this terra incog- nita; During the last autumn the Instituto | Seologico equipped four parties,;each | compriging two geologists, to explore the northern part of the peninsula. The work will be extended to the southern .part this year—Sclentifie | American. ‘Past and Future. “She is a woman with a past,” sald the Suspicious Nelghbor, with sup: pressed horror. ‘Well,” said the Old Neighbor, -“she’s better off than the rest of us, if that's all. I'm afraid most.of us have something coming to us.” And it was so. You unhappen your past, but what’s coming you may sidestep. 1[THE FIRST GRAY mun’ smu 0 ’Ase Wl to. ll J A harmless remedy, made from common garden sage, quickly restores gray hair to'natural color..
