The old Randall-Wallace quarrel was the
disturbing element. The result was q
t(ecis[vG victory for Randall, his partlsans
securing tho control Of all the committees,
six III number. The Wallace candidate for
Chairman Of tho County Committee was nlso
defcatcd. Thera is bitter feeling between
the factions tonight, which finds expression
iii harsh language and mutual rccriminatlon,
Tlle Wallace ncn say they will continue tho

strikingly singular that tbs duty should de-
volve on your humble servant.

East Button is located it is about five
miles northeast Of Button proper, and To-
Gated on Mill Creek, SO called on account of
i mill erected by Jordan & Ostrander on the

turesQue scenery, especially in the sum,ncr
season, when all nature is robed in its gor-
gcous robe Of green. In the winter we are
Well protected from the bleak winds by the
fine, stately, surrounding forests.
In this item We shall notice some of the
lumber and shingle mills now in operation

the entcrprising inhabitants W hich are now
First We will notice shingle mill located
on the old Jordan & Ostrapder mill site
and manipulated by Alex. Carencross. who
has OF good men and is himself fine,
good natured fellow. He slso manufactures

ticle is doing good business. His fair and
accomplished sister is the hostess OF his
boarding house.
Next we will notice large steam saw
mill, now controlled by Winser Bros. Of Oak
Valley, which is located about ga of 4 mile
north Ct the shingle mill on land owned by
Fin Stewart. The mill has 4 capacity
of cutting from ten to fifteen thousand feet
Per day, and under the management of Mr..
Winser, who is All old and experienced
head sawyer, eannot help bu: be a success.
He has Gre W Of ten men and the way he is
cntting up Logs is caution. The winter
having l'een favorable for hiln he has got a
large supply of logs in the yard.
Next we will notice shiny!e mill which
is being erected by Thos. Barwise 4 Son.
about SO rods from said snw-mi!l They

THE FAIR.

Well, farmers, are you going to
wake up and do something tor your.
selves? One week from Saturday
is the day fixed tor another fair. W.
have written numerous editorials
published many locals; inserted the
first list free OF charge and done
every thing in our power to bring the
Fair Day into successful operation
and we now call upon every farmer
in this community to assist in the
work. We have yet to talk with the
man who does not acknowledge tile
many benefits to he derived from this
system OF monthly market days;
they all know it would be a grand
good thing for them, collectively and
individually, yet how few seem to
have the common sense to recog-
recognize therein u personal interest
to be looked after; and fewer yet
those who see their own interest and
display the energy of an ordinary
owl in pushing it to a successful is
sue? Now, we know that most ot
our Northern Pacific farmers have
good common sense, b,4 the trouble
is many of them do not use it They
live too much like hermits and their
mental faculties become dormant for
want Of exercise. They ought to
do more mental work and less phys
zeal drudgery. Think! Not to build
air castles in the brain, but to inn
prove yourself, your farm. your fam
lily and your finances: keep account
books of your time and expenses;
know precisely what you crops and
produce costs you, so that when you
sell them you may know what your
prOulS are.
IT you make plan which, after
due consideration is approved, work
by it rs the carpenter saws by the
pencil mark The practical appli-
c%tion Of good plan is often ruined
10y deviation from the murk. Do
not walk around a small obstacle
when YOU can, by little resolution
surmoulft it and thus keep to the
mark.
But to the fair question. This
matter is part of your best inter-
ests and, therefore, 4 part Of your
business; why not attend to it As you
do your other business? 1t is going
to create market for your produce
which you have never had before. 1t
will open up fields for profitable labor
which have hitherto been closed to
you. Will you make the effort to
open this new field?
Let every farmer within reach of
Wadena consider this matter part
of his own individual interests and
push itaccordingly. Remember one
week from Saturday and bring or
send your name to this Office for
publication together with the name
OF the article you wish to buy, sell
or trade. The list will be published
next week.
