DON'T WASTE WATER
Secretary Maxwell Sounds a Warning
Before Forestry Session.
G. H. Maxwell, secretary of the na
tional irrigation committee, in his ad
dress this afternoon' before the state
horticultural society, discussed the ques
tion of drainage or Minnesota swamp
lands.
Mr. Maxwell warns the people of
Minnesota against the plan proposed to
draw off the water entirely from these*
lands. He thinks that this action would
destroy the value of the land, that the
under supply of water should be main
tained, and that the surface should bo
treated much as irrigated lands are
treated.

decided fancy to the ride an manv
who in former years never thought of
going to the lake from Nov. 1 to May
1, run out every week or so for a little
frolic. The stores and restaurants, as
well as the hotels* have tound busi
ness picking up, and by the time the
winter sports are in full swing it is
believed there will be large doings in
the little town.
The lake is frozen as smooth as
glass and the ice is now sufficiently
strong to make skating and iceboating
safe. Six men of the street railway
crew from the camp on Big Island
made the trip to Excelsior across the
lake three days ago and found the
ice solid and smooth all the way. The
iceboat captains are getting their rigs
in shape and planning for a long win
ter's sport. Many ice-yacht owners
who have practically abandoned the
sport the last few years, are planning
to get back to it this ear With the
hourly service offered by the trolley, it
is possible for the owners living in
town to spend considerable time the
afternoon and evening at the lake and
leturn to town the evening. With a
regular program of winter races, it is
belie\ed the sport would bring many
visitors and spectators to the lake thru
the entire winter.
There is some talk of opening a
number of winter amusement devices.
It is believed that iceboats for hire
would prove popular and profitable and
that a toboggan slide from one of the
pavilions on shore to the lake Would
attract many enthusiasts.
The trip in. the warm, speedy cars
is comfortable and many are visiting
the village' just for the sake of the
ride. The wait of fifteen minutes al
lows a little walk about the business
streets between trips. Several dan
cing clubs have arranged for midwinter
hops and suppers and have -been wel
comed with open arms by the residents.
A few kickers who thought the trolley
would kill the town have have changed
their minds and admit that Excelsior
"was not like this the olden days."
Excelsior is experiencing such a win
ter as it never had before. In the good
old davs, when there was no trolley,
the town -went into winter quarters,
and half its industries, especially the
summer "soup foumlnes," hibernated
much after the manner of the wood
chucks and gopheis of the surrounding
country,

KENYON SAYS IT'S^W

"N o, I don't think it's great to be
crazy," emphatically declared Arthur
Keuyon, who was brought back from
the state insane a Byhim today and is
now awaiting arraignment on an indict
ment charging him with robbery in-the
first degree.
Kenyon was arrested with Eobert
O'Day last summer on a charge of
holding up and robbing Ellington Cope
Jand in Northeast ^Minneapolis. Short
ly after his incarceration a cot fell on
Kenyon's head and the accident af
fected his mind. He was sent to St.
Peter as insane. Treatment cured him
and today he was brought back to
stand trial. CHDay pleaded guilty and
is serving a reformatory sentence.
I can't remember anything that
happened to me," declared Kenyon to
day. I know in an indistinct way
that I was in nail somewhere, but I
don't remember anything about this
place, and do not recognize any of the
men here who seem to know me.
My past life is a blank. The first

tried to help mo remember. I kept
thinking and thinking, but it was Wo

where I lived or what I did and all I
know is what people tell me. I know
I am charged with committing a crime,
but I can't remember anything about
it. Some events are suggested to me
by things that happen' now and I hope
that after a while more will come to
me."
Kenyon is a big, broad-shouldered
man. He is said to have an ungovern
able temper and once while in the asy
lum he floored three guards in a fit of
anger. He was finally overpowered. He
says he will not make Jailor Nels Clau

"Doc" Olson.
"Doc," or "Goldbrick" Olson of
South Minneapolis, who was picked up
by the police yesterday on a charge of
selling imaginary cars of wheat to
Chamber of Commerce firms, was re
leased today after he had squared ac
counts.
Olson is said to have represented
himself as a North Dakota farmer with
several carloads of wheat for sale.
Equipped with bogus bills of lading, he
negotiated the sale of a car of wheat
and a car of flax to McCarthy Brothers
in the Chamber of Commerce. An im
aginary car of flax was sold to E. L,
Welsh' & Co. On the two deals Olson
realized about $300 and was paid by
check. One of the checks was cashed
at "Stockholm" Olson's saloon on
Washington avenue S, and this led him
into the hands of the police.
The money was paid back to th,e two
firms and Olson will not be prosecuted.

"Iwant to join the navy because I'd

Wills, a 19-year-old English lad, ex
plained his object in life to Judge D.

to assist him. an reaching this goal of
his ambition.

stimulants and beveiages are not food,
but the law indicates that it is clearly
within the province of the state dairy
and food commission to regulate the
traffic in adulterated liquors. The an
ann'ouncement by Milton Trenham, of
the ^commission, that inspection of
liquors does not come within the prov
ince of his department was received
with surprise at the city hall.
The law passed by the legislature in
1901, amending section 18, chapter 7, of
the laws of 1889., expressly lnclades
spirituous and malt liquors in the cate
gory with sugars, syrups, vinegars, lard
and baking powders, as articles to be
protected from adulteration. Chapter
115 prohibits^the manufacture and sale
of liquors containing drugs or ingre
dients harmful to health, and "nor nor
mal to the liquor. The penalty for
such sale or manufacture is by fines
from $25 to $100, or imprisonment for
from ten to ninety days for the first
offense, with a minimum fine of $50
and imprisonment for thirty days for
subsequent offences.

He is an .athletic-looking youngster,

with a military air. "How did you

Whether he was in search of "local

annihilating the entire Russian fleet
with a revolver while Admiral Togo,
the tiger of the sea, smiles an approv
ing smile in the background, has filled
the popular actor with an ambition to
enter the service, is the question Which
is still perplexing the minds of Lieu

TALKS WITH TEAVELEBS
G. F. McCue of Carnngton, N. D., be
lieves there is a bright tuture in store
for his home town and for the country
tributary to it.
"Carrington is exceedingly prosper
ous and growing rapidly," he said to a
reporter at the Vendome hotel this
morning. "Six years ago, there were
less
500 people in the town. To-
creasing. With the opening of spring
we expect to see a great incoming of
settlers. Th Norther
line, which operates from Carrington,
where it joinB the main line, has been
extended the 'past season from Den'hoif
to Turtle Lake, thirty-one miles. Next
year it will go on further. This opens
a lot of good agricultural land and gives
the adjacent farmers a market. All the
business of the branch, of course, passes
thru Carrington. We are expecting to
see a good class of American settlers
come next year from the inquiries we
have had, and laWd business will boom.
I remember seven years ago I was able
to buy land around' Carrington for $1.25
an acre. Today that same land readily
brings. $15 an, acre, and is looked on as
a^goodinvestment at that."
The Northern Pacific branch! ?,ec^etary
State Senator C. M. Buck of Fari
bault was at the Hotel Nicollet today.
"There's very little talk of the gov
ernorship in my home city," he said,
"tho I suppose before lon^g the guberna
torial preconvention campaign will
warm up. And as there is little talk,
I cannot say how the sentiment ray
district is about such candidates for the
republican nomination as are now the
field. The home of Senator Lord is not
very far trom us, and for that reason
there is doubtless a very friendly feel
ing for him in Faribault."
"Frank Eddy suggests," said the re
porter, that leading republicans of the
state meet in the twin cities and select
a good man for the party to nominate.
WhatMlo you think of that scheme?"
I think it a pxetty^jood plan,1 said
Mr. Buck. The party must staWd sol
idly behind its candidate during the
coming campaign to win out, and any
division certainly,means defeat."
A party of southern Minnesota lum
bermen were guests at the Rosrers to
day. The party included F. S. Bell,
O. M. .Botsiord, J. W. Luyas and R. H.
Jackson of Winona, and F. A. Kings
ley of Minneota,
"We are not here for any special
purpose of public importance," said
one of the party this morning. "It is
simply & business proposition relative
to affairs in the western wholesale mar
ket, where we dolour buving, which
we wished to come up here to look into
for the benefit of our own purchases,
and^kat is all there is to it."
MT. and Mrs. E. G. Flecker"" wer
guests at the Vendome last night and
left this morning early for parts un
known. The couple were married at
Excelsior last evening and immediately
their troubles began. Their friends (V
waited for them at the Excelsior erd
Of the streetcar line. But the couple
drove four miles and took a Minne
apolis & St. Louis train instead, at an
unguarded point. The friends, suspect
ing some trick, t&ok a car into Minne
apolis and managed to meet the couple
at the Minneapolis station. There they
were showered with rice and followed
to the Vendome. In the Vendome lobby
the rice-throwing was kept up till the
couple, a few moments later, fled to
their* room. Still the tormentors wero
not satisfied, and fastened to the door
f their room two immense pat^r
hearts, -pierced with an arrow/ The
honeymoon souvenir was still on the
door when the^. bridal pair left this
iSofnfhg.
