' Queer Phenomena on White Lake. One of the peculiar phenomena of nature can now be seen along the east side of White lake. There Is a ridge of ice thrown up along the side of the lake from two to five feet high In the shape of the roof of a house which resembles a dike thrown up by the hand of man. At the pier It Is noticeable. The Ice has lifted the plies out of the ground and heaved the pier up eight feet In one place until It Is Just the shape of a roof. The only explanation of this phenom ena Is that the action of the south wind crowds the Ice toward this side when It la softened up during the day and then at night It freezes hard again, which gradually causes this ridge to pile up higher all the time.

Northern Parlflc Must Build Seven Miles to Cover Distance of Half a Mile. The plat of the first 20-mlle section of the Grangevllle branch out of Cul desac, as filed by the Northern Paci fic at the local land office, shows that In order to gain a distance, of a half a mile at one point of the survey a loop of seven miles Is necessary, says a Lewlston dispatch. The loop starts about one mile from tho point where the line crosses Rook creek and follows along the north side of Lapwal creek about two miles and then on the south side one and one half miles. Here the line swings bock paralleling the lower track for a dis tance of three and one-half miles, thus completing the loop and reaching Rook creek again about one and one half miles from Its mouth. Rook creek Is the following for two and one-half miles when the road turns south to the summit. Mr, Pearson, who is now with the Milwaukee, was chief engineer of the Northern Pacific when the survey for the line out of Culdesac was complet ed and he stated It was one of the most difficult pieces of engineering work on the entire Northern Pacific system.

He has been there since last October. The money made as engineer for big railway and bridge Jobs Is all gone; he has no retired pay from the government, because he left the ser vice as a volunteer when the war was over, and the little service pension which he draws Is hardly enough to support him. Serrell was born In New York city, and he will be 80 years old this year. He began his career as an engineer on the Central rallrond of New Jersey. He then entered the government ser vice, and on the Isthmus surveyed the course of the Nicaragua and Panama canal routes of the present day. He also surveyed a route for the Panama railroad.

During the civil war he figured in 126 engagements and became by the end of It chief engineer of the depart ment of the south. His most sensa tional work was during the siege of Charleston, S. C, In 1863. By a sys tem of parallels he enabled the feder al batteries to reduce Fort Sumpter and render Fort Wagner untenable by the confederates. It was he who managed to obtain an anchorage In 20 feet of mud and to mount the 200-pounder Parrot gun known as the "Swamp Angel." This gun brought about the fall of Charles. ton. He left the army at the close of the war a brevet brigadier general. He then went Into private practice. Three times In his career he received the thanks of congress.
