Destroyed Four Years Ago. “Four years ago editors of every newspaper in Minnesota made pub- lic appeal for aid for these two lit- tle cities, which had been absolutely wiped from the map of the state by an all-conquering fire, which not only destroyed all buildings, but left many dead in its wake.

Also the work of the out- ing, with the long trip on the beau- tiful Lake of the Woods, proved fas- cinating to others in southern Min- nesota. “Saturday morning the editors and their friends saw what so few.
