Attorney General has made application
through the High Court Of the EHeheauer, cn

from continuing operations. The argument
on the part of the postoillee department is
that telephones are teleeranhs within
the meaning of the act committing
the latter to the charge Ut the post
office. The oh5ect of these proceed
inga ia understood to be to compel the
telephone companies to take out licenses

on exhibition at Webb & Peake's
store. a quantity of hand made brick
from clay. which is abundant on his
farm. He claims to have sunk well
% feet deep, and in SO doing failed to
penetrate through the clay. It would
pay the energetic business men of
Wadena to investigate the matter at
least, as his farm is only six miles
distant from the village, and as brick
at a reasonable figure would largely
improve the character of our improve
