So far ag this particular section ef Minnesota is concerned the sub-; mitfing of bids for bridge building is no more than a farce. Unless par- ties outside the combine can be interested to submit independent ids, the boards of county commis- sioners, townships and other public bodies might just as well turn the work over in the’ first instance to the Hennepin Bridge company of Minneapolis, and tell them to pro- eeed with own figures, and, as the Herald-Review gleans the facts, this is the general eondition that prevails. The missioners of Itasca county appear to have reached the conclusion that there exists a combination of bridge ter- the work at their eoncerns that concede certain ritories to certain bridge builders, on | agreement | gentlemen’s | a sort of which is never violated. The Hen-| nepin bridge company of Minneapolis the Itasca county, this very agreeable agreement.

The Crookston Times issued a special number in honor of the dedi- cation in that city of the Elks’ new home on January 12, of which the Herald-Review acknowledges receipt of a copy. The home was recently completed at a cost of $60,000, and the whole city seems to feel a pride in the achievement that is justified. In looking over the copy before us we notice the hand- some features of E. W. Schmidt, son of A. C. Schmidt, known to the fraternity as “Spoonbill.” The in- terior decorations of the building are pictured in lavish praise by the pa- per and A. C. Schmidt & Sons are charged with doing the artistic work, and special mention is made of the with artistic ability of a high or- der. Messrs, Schmidt & Sons are well known in Grand Rapids where they formerly did considerable high class work, and where they have many friends who will be pleased to} hear of their continued success. An- other character portrayed by pen and picture in the special number is Joe Wessel, untiil recently a mem- ber of the Minnesota Game and Fish commission, and also a portable He is likewise the leader and general- issimo of the Elks’ quartette of Crookston. This organization has a reputation, according to the Daily Times, that places it in a class all The members, “eith- where they aren’t. Modesty is their fatal feature.

It is a story of the days of ’€1) “This story tells of the transforming | of a pusillanimous coward into a lion-hearted hero by the derision of the girl he loved. The battle takes place outside her home, and he, pan- ic-stricken, rushes in, trembling with fear, to hide. She laughs in scorn at his cowardice and commands hiim to go back and fight.. Her fortitude inspires him, and he manages to rejoin his company before his ab- sence is noticed. Ammunition is low and somebody must take the hazard- another regiment, which he volun- teers to do. This undertaking can- not be adequately described, for the young map faces death at every | experience is where the op- the road to menace the powder-wag- on. This without question, is the most istirring war picture ever pro- uced,”” The Herald-Review makes a speci- alty of especially fine printing for particular people.
