News from MIR. Irgens.

AS many of the people of this section
Of the state seem to think that it IS par
t:cularly unfortunate, and that they could
do better and raise larger crops almost
anywhere else, we insert an extract from
a letter written to o. W. Shaw Of this city
by Hon. John 9. Irgens. Mr.. Irgens
writes from what is commonly regarded
as the garden Of the state; but it will be
seen that even the Northern Pacific re.
yion is not without its drawbacks and
pests:
III am sorry to say that the grasshop.
pers are cleaning me out; 1t seems too
bad. as this is the 6rst season have had
d crop that amounted to anything. had
only a few acres last year. 1t will be very
hard for ns. The summer has been terri
bly dry; have had but one shower thai
did any good, yet the crops looked fine
until the hoppers came. We are taking
down the wheat as fast as we can, but the
damage is done. Potatoes and root crops
arc worthless. The hoppers have no,
been equally bad in all parts of the coun.
ty, but suppose the average damage
will be from 20 to 80 per cent. We hoped
our troubles were over, but they seem
just commencing. hope you have
good crops IN Mower county,"

THE
White Sewing Machine

IT'S HISTORY AND UNPARALLELED SUCCESS.
For nearly twenty years prior to
1876 the members of this company
had been engaged in the manufact-
ure Of sewing machines, principally
under contract with other persons
or companies, to and by whom, the
sale of their goods was controlled in
this and foreign countries.
In the spring Of 1876 an oppor-
tunity was offered to, and readily
accepted by, the members of the
company, whereby they sold all their
old machinery, tools, patterns, etc.,
to company that was DESTROYS to
manufacture for ITSELF
During the negotiations of this
sale new machine and new COM
pany were conceived; and, stalking
our reputation as manufacturers, and
our prospects Of success, on the
quality of our productions, we
launched the White Shuttle Sewing
Machine upon the market, and made
our first shipment in August, 1875.
With this brief summary of histo-
ry we would simply state few facts:
It is an acknowledged fact that the
White Sewing Machine now stands
pre-eminent among first-class ma
chimes, for its simplicity and light
running qualities. 1t is a mechanical
fact that the White Sewing Machine
is made from the best material and
Of excellent workmanship, and allits
wearing parts are adjustable, so that
lost motion can be "taken up" in an
instant. 1t is an undisputed fact that
the durability of the White Sewing
Machine is sustained by a written
warranty for five years. 1t is pro-
gressive fact that the White embo-
dies the most practical and useful
improvements of other sewing ma
chimes, together with advantages
peculiarly its own.
It is gratifying fact that the
White gives universal satisfaction,
and that it is steadily and rapidly
increasing in public favor. This
fact is further substantiated by tho
following statement of sales, made
the third year of its existence,
amounting to 54,633 machines. No
other machine ever had such rec
ord of popularity. For sale by J. A.
WALTERS, agent for none, but
dealer in all first-class sewing ma
chimes; also pianos and organs.

TAOPI.

WIN. Culton has moved into the
house lately owned by W. p. Brainard.
He will run Bassett & Hunting's elevator.
The Taopi Farming Co. are running
two steam tbreshing machines on their
farm. Wheat goes about fifteen bushels
per acre.
A. H. Smith and wife have gone west
with a camping rig for pleasure and bust
ness. When last heard from they were
camping at Lake Calhoun.
Peter O'A1alcy has returned from his
trip for the Marsh Harvester Co., which
trip commenced last May in OHIO and
ended in Minneapolis. Peter thinks the
Marsh the boss. He will buy wheat at
Taopi this fall.
The Taopi F. M. Co. are running
their elevator day and night, shipping
their last years wheat, preparatory to
receiving the new. J. w. Wood, one of
the proprieters OF the F. M. Co., says tn at
they are going to buy grain this fall,
which, if they do, will give Taopi as
strong market as other towns along this
road. "Hope they WILL" is what Taopi
says.
Geo. F. Goodwin was at Taopl Mo:-
day to prosecute the Adams whlskey
"crooks," who had been brought before
w. B. Mitson upon complaints of Miss
NJ. Thompson and Miss G. Gullekson,
of Adams. The crooks employed Sher-
man Page to defend. The parties ap.
peared and took change of venue as
was expected. The case was transferred
to VIM. Prebbel, of the township of Lodi,
but when papers and parties were brought
before that gentleman, he informed the
County Attorney that he had resigned, so
the end was soon reached, and the
drank the key of beer they had with
them and returned to Adams. X.
