DEATHS' ICY HAND.
The angel of death toucheed
one of earth's moat beloved' be
mgs when his icy hand was laid
upon Mrs. Lucinda Nickle
Branchflower, wife of Monroe
Branchower. She died at Katon,
New Mexico, November 15,
while on her way to Arizona in
the hope that in that climate she
might win the fight against con
sumption from whicn she hajl
been a sufferer for some time.
During the past summer she
lived in the open air at the
Chautauqua park and hoped by
this means to recover her fading
health. But all was in vain,
although loving hands gave her
every care. She stood the jour
ney to the south fairly well un­
til the tram passed through some
of the large tunnels where she
nearly suffocated, and her atten-]
dants were compelled to stop for (The

hands were always at the distaff.
She was married about four years
ago to Monroe Branchflower, who
with one child survives to mourn
the loss of a pure, loving afid
noble wife and devoted, gentle
mother. She was just in the
bright springtime of life, being
twenty-four years and five month
of age. The funeral was held
at the Methodist church in this
city Tuesday.

=NEW YEAR'S=
Five years ago Dr Thor Moeller told the people that
what is now called "Wye" on Lake Upsillon in the Turtle
Mountains had all the natural advantages to make the
finest summer resort in the world. Experts from the East,
authorities on the subject of summer resorts, declare that if
Wye were in the Adirondacks every lot cnuld be easily sold
at, #1,000. This country is rich. You have been working
hard to develop it. 1'ciu are entitled to some of its pleasures.
And at the present price you can easily afford it. Tiut it is
by no means what the lots are worth, and the price will be
doubled after New Year's.
There is birch, ash. oak aud poplar. There is the clear,
fresh air of the aitil ude of 2,500 feet. There is protection
from storms. There is sunshine. There is boatine. There
is bathing, on the finest gravel shores. There is fishing of
the finest black bass, pickerel .and lake trout. There is deer,
bear, wolf, wildcat, lynx and wolverine. There is sable,"
otter, mink, fox muskrat, badger, woodchuck, rabbit, and
several varieties of eqmrrel^fFhere is partridge, grouse and
ducks in abundance. There is the softest, clearest and most
palatable-water in the world. What more do you want? If
there is anything belonging to a summer resort of nature's
bounties that--i^. not here mentioned, it is only because it has
been forgotteui" We want everybody to enjoy it, and make
it what it should be—a place of recovery for the sick, of
i&creation for the weary arid overworked. jv*
fe^Tbe nearest railroad station at the present time is St.
i, which i» seven miles away, bnt as this branch is now
being extended into Canada. Wye will be less than three
miles from the railroad next summer, and there will-prob
ably be a-spur built right into the lake.

It is getting to be now a days
in Ramsey county that it is al
most impossible to purchase an
improved farm at any price but
Edward F. Flynn has been for
tunate in securing a number of
choice farms to sell, one being
a half section one mile from
Grand Harbor, one of first pieces
of land selected when the land
was all vacant. Of this half
section every inch but about one
acre where the buildings are lo
cated, is under cultivation and
there are the best of buildings
on the place. This is the best
snap in the county. He also has
a 400-acre farm for sale five
miles north of Devils Lake on
the shore of Sweetwater lake—
the old iohnea farm. This is
the prettiest farm in the county
and has the best duck pass. *490?
acres can be cultivated and there
are about 200 acres additional dr.

A recent day's record of births was
the largest ever recorded in this city.
The number of births has averaged
about 20 th6 year round, but 36 chil
dren were born the day after Presi
dent Roosevelt arrived here, 17 boys
and 19 girls.
During the last year there was a ma
terial decrease in the birth rate for
Louisiana. A comparative statement
of statistics shows that the number of
deaths exceeded the births and few
births have occurred compared with
marriages. -.

STORK BUSY IN THE SOUTH
Largest Number of Births Ever Re
corded in One Kay Follows Trip
of President Roosevelt.
New Orleans.—President Roosevelt
came, saw and conquered New Orleans
in a way not hitherto made public.
The president is an avowed enemy of
race suicide and an advocate of large
families. The more children a father
has the easier it is for him to obtain
a presidential portrait and a pr^^Jpen-:'
tian autograph. Ttfe same is true of
mothers. Women are as ambitious to
get presidential recognition as men,
as the moral of this story shows.
How many demands will be made on
the president for photographs, auto
graphs, etc., as a result of his visit
to New Orleans only time will tell,, but
it is a fact that following president
Roosevelt's visit the stork has been
more busy here than ever before in.the
history of New Orleans This means
a great increase In the number of
happy fathers and mothers, and it has
resulted in general rejoicing.
Better Site. »«$'
Roosevelt, Ariz.—-The firm'which has
the contract for building the large irri
gation dam at this place for the United
States government under the reclama
tion act has established its headquar?
ters* here. Machinery is arriving and
extensive preparations are being made'
for the gigantic piece of masonry work.
The contract will necessitate a vast e&

the dam site a generator for transform
ing the electric power from alternating
to direct current a large number of der
ricks, both for operating adjacent quar
ries and for placing the rock in the wall
of the dam tramways and other small*
er machinery.
The machinery alone will represent a
targe outlay and the cost of transport*
tion means a great deal more. It Is more,
than 35 mile* from the nearest railroad
station aa4 «v«ry piece of machinery
must be taken to the dani sit* iy wagons.

tricts, Md hence the- transportation
feature of this contract, when the heavy
machinery t8 considered. will Itself foot
•up nqjiny,thousands of dollars.
The Roosevelt will, when jompleted,
be the highest dam in the world. The
Cheesman dam. which supplies Denver,
Col., with pure mountain water, now
holds that distinction, but the Roose
velt dam will be higher by at least 25
or 30 feet Its height will be 236 feet.
Its length across the top will be SOO
feet, with awidth on top of 16 feet. The
length at tbe bottom will be only 20
feet, with a width of 160 feet.
The reservoir that will be created by
this dam will have a capacity
of 1.000.000
cubic feet and will bold sufficient water
to irrigate, 250.000 acres of land.. After
the first year, when the ground has be
come thoroughly saturated, it is expect
ed that the water supply will.be sufficient
to Irrigate considerably in excess of
250.000 acreis.
It is probable that the active work of
constructing the dam will be com
menced before the close of the present
year. The contractors are now install
ing the machinery which has already
arriyed on the ground, and they expect
to be ready to start on their contract by
the time the federal government has in
stalled its power plant. The government
Is to supply the contractors with 2,200
volts, alternating current, which the
contractors will transform into a direct
current with their electrical machinery.
The government is also to furnish the
Cement for the masonry and has estab
lished a plant near the dam site. J. M.
0'Rourke.& Co., of Denver, Col., have
thacon tract:
Although the present town of-Roose
velt will be wiped out of existence when
the reservoir is formed, it will be rees
tablished upon a more favorable site. It
'is expected that it will have a rapid and
substantial growth under the new con
ditions which will surround it.
SEARCHLIGHT DAZES GEESE

Are Kiiledby Passengers and
Ship's Steward.
Owingsville, Ky.—As a result of the
reeejit terrific, gales on the coast and
great -lakes large ntimfoers of fowls
whieh use these water ways have been
driven inland. Many sea gulls and
other birds belonging to the lake re
gion have beenrkilled in Kentucky and
several have been kilisd in this coun
ty. This is also the time of year
for wild geese to migrate and thou
sands have been passing over.
An unusual occurrence took place, on
the steamboat Lizzie Ray. The night
was very dark and the captain and
pilot of the craft were guiding her
slowly with the current when some one
hailed the boat from the Kentucky
shore. The captain switched his pow
erful searchlight in that direction and
the reflection caught a big .flock of
wild geese flying high above. The
powerful light blinded the gees^ so
they could not fly and they fell
straight down, alighting on the deck
of fhe boat, and some of them got
in the first cabin. Like heavy cannon
shot they beat against th?. walls and
all beat their heads so in attempting
to escape that they were stunned. Tie
steward of the Lizzie Ray, accompa
nied by passengers, slaughtered the
geese, which numbered 50.
Campaign Humorous.
The political campaign in New York
city has not been without its humorous
features. At a Hearst meeting the other
night one of the orators asked impres
sively: "What is the one thing that
we of this great community are suffer
ing most from at the present time?"
He paused and there was a deep silence.
"Bedbugs," said a man in the gallery,
and the speaker hurried to another
topic. At a McClellan meeting Comp
troller Grout referred to the other two
candidates for, mayor "William R.
Hearst and William M. Ivins as two
promising Williams." "They are two
ounterfeit bills," yelled a man-in the
balcony.
.'.'at'- We Know Better Now^S^h
The old way of looting a bank with
the aid of a jimmy, a dark lantern, a lit
tle powder and a fuse is clumsy and un
profitable altogether in comparison
with the modern methods.
