motorboat owners of this city have of­

the navy, It was announced by Nelson
Thomas, secretary of the St. Louis
Yacht club. Some of the boats ure
large and swift enough to be used for
submarine chasers, and others ure of

Albert Bond Lambert, a wealthy avi­

the country, the offer having been made
a short time ago.
A number of St. Louis manufacturers

WAS ONCE A eiG TOWN,
BUT ALL MOVED AWAY
With Closing of Postoffice There
Is Now Nothing Left of
Laprairie.
Grand Itaplds, Mich.—Final steps In
the dissolution of Laprairie were tuUert
when Eugene Arnold, postmaster, sent
In his fiuul reports and locked the doors
of the office for the last time. Village
organization long sinco lias been dis­
con tinned.
With the removal of the name from
the books of the postoffice department
Laprairie as a village will become only
a memory.
In the early history of tbut portion
of the stute Laprulile because of Its
location ut the Junction o f the Missis­
sippi and Prairie river became the
largest town in it3 territory.
In the days when the logging indus­
try was at its height and the rollicking
lumberjacks of the old type were going
luto or coming out of the camps La­
prairie was a “ roaring'* town, with a
population fluctuating between 1.000
and 3,000. Millions of feet of logs were
driven past it both on the Mississippi
and the Prairie.
But it was not long before men with
foresight recognized the latent power
of the Mississippi grand rapids several
miles up stream. Grand Itaplds was
born. Slowly the lusty new town
supped the vitality of the old, business
changed its hunting place, and many
of the buildings were moved. Then
caiue the courthouse contest, which re­
sulted In tlie establishment of the
county’s business ut Grand Rapids.
Since then Laptuirle's decline itas
been rnpid. And so Mr Arnold, the
town’s chief booster, after locking the
door of tlie old postoffice building,
crossed tlie road, once the principal
street of the village, to his little white
cottage thereafter to devote his time to
the cultivation of his small farm, which
comprises the greater portion of the
town site.
PRISON IS HOME TO HIM.
Half Breed Wanted to Get There as
Soon as Possible.
Alumosa, Uni. There is no place like
home even i it is only the penitentiary.
“ I want to go hack home again as
soon as 1 can,” mu id Juan Medina, a
half breed Pueblo Indian, when haled
into a justice court here on a charge
of burglary.
“ I have served twenty-seven years in
si k terms within the penitentiary,”
said he in good English. ” They always
treat me well there, and I want to get
back.”
Medina, fifty-six years old, his face
furrowed and shriveled with time, with
straight black hair and every up(iear-
ance of a criminal indifferent to his
fate, was bound over to tlie district
court.
