Already notices have been posted at all resorts warning cott‘agers and pleasure-seekers against polluting the water, and declaring that those who violate the provisions will be severe- ly punished.

The Great Northern in the lifetime of a generation has grown so that it now ministers to the transportation needs of the great northwest of the United States. The history of the system forms an integral part‘oi the his- tory of the American northwest. It opened up and developed the west, and has in return been richly com- lpensated. For thirty-three years Mr. Ilill guided its destinies, ever appre- eiating the great possibilities of the future, and not hesitating to stake llarge sums of money when faith lpointed the way.
