WAITING FOR A RIsE.-We have
known men who had no lack of grit,
and would hold on for a rise with
the steadiest nerve through all the
ups and downs of the market; but
the one Of which the following news
paper paragraph speaks, carries off
the palm:
There is a farmer in Phelps, On
tario county, N. Y, who has on
hand the wheat product of his farm
for the last four years, refusing to
sell from time to time because he
believed that wheat was "going
higher" His granaries and every
available space in his barn and 9TH
er outbuildings are occupied, and
there are piles of wheat in his gar
ret and elsewhere in his house.
He has "set his stake" and will hold
on to his wheat till it brings the
price he has named to himself, ii
it isn't for forty years.
Money at ten per cent. doubles
itself in a little over seven years,
and if he holds on to his wheat a few
years more, it will take a huge ole
price to make up the interest anc
waSfape

The Masters farm, in Saratoga
county, N. Y, has been sold but
twice in two hundred years. Scho-
harie Union says that the farm
owned by Mr.. Martin L. Schaefer,
In Schoharie, has never been sold at
all. A. Schaefer settled on it when
the valley was first settled, in 1900,
and secured his title direct from the
Indians, and since then it has been
handed bown from father to son.

RED WING, MIMI, TUESDAY, JUNE T. 1875.

On Friday Of last week during short
visit at Minneapolis we called at the
Office Of the Farmers Insurance Com
pany and found the active go-ahead
Secretary and all other hands energetic
ally at work, looking after the affairs of
the company. We learned while in
the city, that the County Council P. of
H., Of Hennepin County, which was in
session on Thursday, had heartily en-
dorsed the Company. This Council
appointed committee to examine into
the affairs of the Company about year
since, and the Secretary asked that the
committee make a thorough and impair
tial ivestigation. We remember that at
meeting of the County Council last
fall, some six months since, the COM
mitteee asked and was given further
time, and the number of the committee
was increased from three to five. This
committee took an abundance of time,
to look into the subject of Insurance
generally and made a report unquali-
fedly endorsing the Company and the
report was unanimously adopted. Un-
der the circumstances we consider it
one of the most substantial of the many
endorsements that the Company has re-
ceived. The Company also received a
visit last week from the Commissioner
of Insurance, who expresses himself
perfectly satisfied with the Company and
it workings. There is another thing
about this Company just at present,
that should win for it the confidence of
the farmers, for whose benefit it exists,
and that is, that the Company not only
has the most substantial men through
out the State, as Directors, but that it
is securing the most honorable and re-
sponsible men, like D. H. Towle of thi
County, in whom every farmer has the
utmost confidence, as agents. There is
one thing certain that under the present
management the Company is entirely
safe, besides being a home institution,
designed for the mutual benefit of all
farmers who become members by insur.
ing their property. The fact, that only
farm risks are taken, is one, which goes
long way toward establishing the fact
that insurance can be obtained cheape,
inthe Farmers Company than elsewhere
especially when one takes into account
the enormous losses of companies
which take city risks, of which the re.
cent destructive fire at Oshkosh, Wis.
is a good illustration.

Times and Things at Trenton.
BY A TRENTONITE.
May 25th, 1875.

Way Aota, 1910.
Editor Of The Grange Advamce:
We are having splendid corn grow
ing weather, most of the corn will be
planted this week. I notice some fields
already green with corn and weeds,
though cultivation is carried on rapidly.
A grass termed the "Pigeon grass"
which grows in great abundance on
this prairie, many think is detriment
to the land, but by actual experience it
is proved to be the best thing to keep
up the life and vigor of the soil. The
only drawback is the letting the land
get foul with other weeds. Take far
mer that uses mental labor as well as
bodily labor, and you will always see
thrifty farmer and a good tarm. He
uses everything to some purpose and
never gets behind with his work.
Our Grange is still gaining ground.
They have started paper in it, and all
the Patrons ( who wish toy contribute
towards it, and it is to be read in open
Grange, this will draw some of the bril-
liant thoughts from silent members,
and the discussion of questions is of
vital Importance. There are many new
features added to the Grange, which
onlp Patrons can know, which makes it
one Of the pleasantest, pro6tablest and
most instructive places community
could have.
Fourth of July is coming and Tren-
ton is making preparations to celebrate
it and it is said that Esdaile will come
to Trenton to join in the celebration.
A general invitation is given to all.
Allen Adams will make visit North
as soon as he gets in his spring crops.
The forests have put on their man.
ties of green, and the sweet smelling
odor of the plum blossoms are waited
far on the gentle breezes. The past
few days have a very hazy appearance,
which may be caused by some great
fires. The boys have begun bath
ing, and as Josh Billings would say,
"we may luke for some drowned chill
dren.'
A. Morse was IN town last week. /
wonder if he didn't see that our mer-
chants sold goods as cheap as any
where else.

the following from the Rice County
Journal, which is another striking H.
lustration of how liable newspaper men
are 10 be misinformed, we paid visit
to some of the warehouses of our city,
and following the article quoted give
the facts discovered as the best answer
to the fiction of the newspaper REPORTER.
The Journal says:
"The wheat market is capricious and
panicky. In Chicago on Monday
wheat was one cent lower. The New
York and other markets generally were
weak. This is little strange, too, in
the face of the grasshopper scourge.
In New York on Monday
No. l spring was worth $I.33@$1.26
In Chicago, $l.00@$1.Olh
In Milwaukee, .99X
In North6eld, 50
In Red Wing, quoted .95
We don't see how Red Wing can af-
ford to pay 95 cents for wheat at pres
ent Eastern rates, though we are glad
to have good prices sustained. Now, a
word about the Red Wing Market. We
have no jealousy of Red Wing, but we
have heard this of that place as a
wheat market, which, if true, is not
creditable to her wheat buyers. Say
on some SATURDAY a load of wheat, or
more than a load, will be purchased at
five or six cents more than the market
will justify, so that the report of high
prices will go into the country and get
the tide setting into Red Wing on Mon
day, when a grand collapse or decline
Of the market occurs, disgusting the
farmers. We don't say this to dispar-
age Red Wing as a good wheat market
for statistics prove it to be the largest
domestic market in the country, and we
would not by any means rob her of he1
fair laurels. We would like our mar.
ket to be the next best, and keep NOV.
ing towards perfection.''
Now the books of two ware houses
at least, show that wheat up to the time
mentioned in the Journal was bought
in this market as follows: from May
LIST to May 4th 81 per bushel; from
May 4th to May 9th, $l.02 per bushel;
from the 9Th to the Goth, an average Of
81 cents per bushel, and from the 2Oth
to the 26th, at an averrge Of 92H cents
per bushel. The books of the r ed
Wing Mills show that up to the Mon.
day mentioned by the Journal their
wheat had cost them an average of $1
per bushel. The fact is that since the
starting of the Red Wing Mills in this
city this has been the best wheat mar.
ket in the State, and it has never been
true that a fancy price has been paid
for few loBds and then the market
dropped to catch the farmers. Such a
thing could not be done if attempted
for this city has warehouse room fo1
every kernel of wheat that is brought to
this market and if the farmers cannot
get as much as their neighbors, they in
variably store their wheat. The nlar
which the Journal has been told about
would defeat the very object sought
for there is nothing that will make far
mers hold on to their wheat so mnch a.

SCHOOL LANDS.
The Attorney General Decides that State
Scrip is Receivable for Them.

The following opinion, says the Little
Rock Gazette, by the Attorney General,
in answer To Y letter from tie Commits
sioncr OF State Lanls, will be found OF
general interest:
OFFICE ATTORNEY GENERAL
LITTLE Rock May I, 1875
Hon j N. SMITnEE. Commissioner oi
Immigration and State Lasds:
Dear Sir: In reply to yours of 5th in.
slant, asking If aud tors warrants and
treasurer's certificates are receivable for
sixteen section, or school lands, have
the honor to say that: Formerly audi
tors warrants were not receivable tor
any debts due the state, nor for sny taxes
save state taxes for general purposes
(secs 27S7 and 5l67 Gan,ts Digest)
Bu, by act Of January 7, 1876, the audi
tors warrants drawn under the provi
sions of that act, were made receivable
for all dues and taxes to the state, excep,
interest on the public debt.
In English vs., Oliver (manuscrip,
opinion) it Is held that treasurer's Ger
tiIicates are receivable for " all debts due
the state, including fines, forfeiturcs
escheats, dues for estrays, for internal
improvement lands. seminary lands
school lands and bank lands This, OF
course, is the law, and will be unless
hereafter overruled by the supreme court
BY the fifth section Of an act approved
January 90, 1875, treasurers certificates
issued upon auditors warrants--issued
on and after the 10th day OF November
1874, are made receivable in paymen,
Of all debts whatsoever due the state
and all license, or tax levied on the vend
ors Of vinous or spirituoas liquors, and
payable into the sinking fund, and for oil
state taxes whatsoever, except Interest
on the public debit" 20 .l.-. d 4@'la ~
The acts Of 1869 and 1871, upon which
the decision in English W. Oliver was
based, are similar in their provisions to
the act of January 20, 1875, and hence
the reason of that case will apply to this
latter act, and It therefore folio W tha,
under this decision the new state scrip,
or trcasmer's certificates issued on war.
rants dated on or after the 10th Of No.
vemher, 1874. are receivable in paymen,
for these lands.
But for this decision l should have
been inclined to hold that the school
lands we're granted to the state Of Arkan.
sas in trust, aud that the proceeds OF the
sale OF the same constituted 4 trust fund,
or purchase money Tor these lands, could
only be paid in good and lawful money
Of the United States." and are not debt,
due the state In her own right. but in
trust for the school fund, and we're no,
intended by the general assembly to bt
included as debts which might be paid In
treasurer's certificates. We subscribe tc
the reasoning Of Hon. r. ID. W. Yonle,
upon this question, and think It borne
