PoTAToEs are jewels this year.
They are worth fine price now.
What the value will be in midwinter
or early spring is matter of conjec-
ture, but it hardly seoms possible
that they can sell for less than $l.50
per bushel. at any rate they will be
high, and it hehooves every growerto
tuke the best care in storing and
keeping them. Another point, aud
an important one to the man who
sells, is to see that the potatoes are
properly sorted. Take a bushel Of
large potatoes and put with them
peck Of small ones, mix them well
and measure again and sec If the lot
measures any more. It is easy TO
throw away % per cent. in this way.
Sort the tubers and sell those of uni
form size. Really they should be
sold by weight, then sorting is of no
consequence; but when will growers
and market men come TO their senses

Among the numerous villages and
toWns that dot the route of the
great St Paul, Minneapolis & Man
itoba railway none take a place in
advance of the subject of our sketch.
With population Of about 800 the
little village has many Of the i'm
provements that larger and older
towns have, and its general appear
ance strikes the transient visitor
as highly picturesque one.
WARREN TOWNSHIP
was surveyed and plated by J. P,
l.elson and a corps Of assistants in
September, 1879, but the sale Of
lots did not commence until the
next year. Now, the village, yet
but an infant, is making giant
strides toward metropolitanism and
a few years will place it in the ranks
of aourlshing young northwestern
cities. Lots are selling rapidly,
real estate is advancing, settlers:
are focking in, and the unoccupied
prairie of short time ago is musi-
cal with the hum of many indus.
tries.
THE SETTLERS
are gathered from all nations, and
in tho near vicinity Of Warren we
find large numbers of Swedes, Nor
wegians, Germans, French, Eng
lish, Canadian and our own country
folks. To the south we find the
ever Industrious and always well
come Swede, and to the west, as
far as the. famous Red River, the
Norwegians predominate. To the
north we see large numbers of lively
dark skinned Frenchmen from the
vine clad hills of sunny France
mingled and mingling with the
Canadian element. Toward the
east the Germans are settled and
all doing well. Here, there and
everywhere, in close communion
with the varied nationalities, we
find the sturdy Englishman and the
native American.
The London Times in speaking Of
this valley says:
'.The breaking up Of the level
prairie il neither tedious nor costly.
No stones or tree-roots cause break
age or delay. With the single
hand. .plow and a pair Of horses, or
three abreast if the ground is very

Even in the newly settled country
small farmers and others can be
hired to do the plowing, furnishing
a man and pair Of good horses at

regularly their one and half acres
in a workman like. manner. :
It has been stated that the Red
River Valley alone could furnish

at present requires to import, and
under certain conditions her capab.

THE FIRST PAPER
Before the advent of the SHEAF the
Warren people had no journal Of
news, so an affair called the $50
ciety Journal was written and
published every two weeks, by Nc.
Crea & Chandler. It was chuck
full of news, and was a great enliv-
ener in it's time. From the first
number we take the following;
$500 REWARD. D.-Strayed or stol-
Ell from the spacious stables Of j.
P. Nelson, in the city of Warren,
one thoroughbred, black, Indian
race horse. -Four legs, no eyes,
lame back, bob tail. Gait--between

to catch, and not worth a CONT.
mental when caught.
The critter has been found and
lost again, and now revels in fresh
green grass on the other side Of the
good horses Jordan.
A temperance and debating soci-
ETY. was one Of the chief sources of
amusement in those days, but now
the town boast one good hall, and
a number Of troupes of different
kinds Of performers have come and
gone-leaving their fitting mem.
ory in exchangefor our dollars.
Judge Nelson amused himself By
living i'll a dug-out shack with his
family until his house was com.
pleted. Mr.. and Mrs. Radcliffe did
the most of the work in building
their house and Mrs. R. did most
Of the shingling and made good
job Of it. The little privations at
first endured by the early settlers.

houses are represented by young
and active men, and every business
house in town is able and does dis
count its bills.

the trains stop here formeals. w.
A. Atwater is the agent and opera
tor. Among other improvements
under this caption are large sec

mill, and turntable. There is also
probability of this place being
made division headquarters, in
which event our population will be
increased nearly 200, and large and
expensive railroad improvements
will be begun.
THE TOWNSHIP
is owned by the Warren townsite
company, and lots are sold at rea.
sonable figures to those wanting to
build. There are now about 80.
buildings on the townsite, and six
more to be commenced this month.
This place is the county seat and
metropolis of Marshall county and
has the county building, a neat
little structure located on johnson
avenue.
SCHOOLS AND CHURCHES.
Warren has a fine school building
neatly fitted up with improved fur
niture and a number Of convenien-
ces. During the past terms the
school has been under the care Of
Miss A. Bessie Brown, and has
fourished admirably. The attend
ance was large and the teacher
faithful and competent. Rev. A.
r. Flint, is the rector of the Meth.
odist church in this place and is
we'll liked. His congregation is
large and constantly on the increase
A Lutheran society will build a
church here in few months, and
an Episcopal congregation is talked
of.
OUTLYING FARMS.
Among the well known farms
of larger dimensions near town may
be mentioned the Pembina, Palmer,
Woodward, Northolm, Elmwood
and others far to numerous to men :
tion, all Of which are in high
state of cultivation and entitle their
owner to the appellation Of ''bo-
nanza" farmers. However, the
principal number Of settlers are
small farmers, with a freehold Of
100 to $40 acres-just the class who
help the county the most. The
various farms will all be described
in subsequent numbers of this pa.
per.
TRADE ADVANTAGES.
Warren merchants buy for cash
and discount their bills every time
and by this means their prices are
very low. They keep good stocks,

FRIDAY, MAY -, 1881.

Our Democratic friends confdent-
ly predict that the difference between
the President and Mr.. Conkling will
result in breaking up the Republican
party. The hope thus INDUCED pro-
ceeds from defective understands
ing of the elements and history of
the Republican party. One of the
distinguishing features of our party
is that it tolerates a difference of
opinion. And the history of the
party for the last twenty years shows
that it has survived a good many
conflicts in its own ranks. Mr.. Lin
coin met with powerful opposition
in his party during the first
years of his administration, but
he was renOminated al Ire elected
with substantial unanimity. The
bitter fight made against President
Grant by Senator Sumner will be re-
membered, and yet Grant was re-
elected. Mr.. Hayes encountered the
active opposition of Mr.. Conkling,
throughout his entire administration,
but if the Republican party was inju-
riously affected by it, the result of
the elections last fall did not show it..
The contest between the President
and Senator Conkling is regretted
by all Republicans, but we have heard
Of no one who is gong to quit the
party on that account.

- THE OLD FLAG AND AN APPRO
PRIATION."

People are hard to please. For
the past two or three weeks the pa
pers have been filled with anathemas
against Gen. Brady and his manage
nent of what is known as the Star
mail service. By this service is
meant the mails not carried on rail
roads and steamboats, The POST
master General has oyerhauled this
service and discovered a great many
ugly things. His object is to correct
all extravaganza in the Post Office
Department, and he says he will
make it self-sustaining, which he will
probably be able to do. In his
Investigations he found that
the mails were being car
ried between Memphis, Tenn,
and Wittsburg, Ark, by steamer, at
$4,000 year. He found that most
of the points served on that route
could be supplied in some other and
less expensive way, and so he
ordered the route discontinued.
Now comes the Memphis ledger,
in an editorial covering more than a
column, and gives reasons why the
route should not be discontinued.
The gist of it is, that without the
mail, the steamers cannot and will
not run, and therefore Memphis will
lose large business. The Ledger
says the stoppage of that line was
brought about by the jealousy of
other trade points. With the merits
Of this case we have nothing to do
know nothing of them. But it
illustrates point We made few
days ago. The people are always
happy to have money spent by the
government in the particular local
ity where they reside, and do not, as
general thing, scrupulously take
into consideration the necessity for
doing it. A surplus mail route is all
right with great many in locality
where it exists, for, they say, it
brings in little money. And it will
be found, upon close investigation,
that there are numerous mail routes
