Mr.. YOUNG Of Minneapolis has pur-
chased an interest in the Litchfeld Steam
FIGURING Mill. He is decided acquisi-
ton there. As 4 machinist and mill
wright: he is without superior in the
West: and as & practical miller he is not
easily excelled. He possesses the most
thorough knowledge of milling, and can
run every department, from the engine

Mr.. Young a most cordial welcome to
Litchfe!d.

\ GOOD many of our citizens are COM
planning of the recent raise on carrying
freight by the Winona & St. Peter rail-
road. We understand that they charg-
ed Mr.. Smith, on a car of lomber $40
more than usual, and he refused to re-
ceive it. They have raised the price Of
carrying stone So on the car load. If
something is not done to put stop to
this wholesale robbery, it will almost en-
tirely prevent building along this line
