Lyon county Is undoubtedly anxious to
secure the contemplated branch of the
Minneapolis & st. Louis. and the Messen-
ger says: There seems to be no good
reason against making strong efforts to
secure this railroad. The gain to us On
lumber would be from one-fifth to one
third its present cost if we could ship d.
rect from Minneapolis. There is no dis
putting the fact also that our wheat mar.
ket would be much better, and AZ the
bonds will not be due for nearly twenty
years. only the small tax necessary to
meet the low interest on the bonds will
have to be levied for several years.
Meanwhile the increase of population and
increased valuation of property will make
the final settlement only matter of two
or three per cent. The burden of these
bonds will never be materially felt and
the advantages Of the road will be i'm
mcnse to us.

Walnut Grove Items.

Correspondence of the GAZETTE.
Farmers are now busily engaged har-
vesting the flax crop in this vicinity. It
bids fair to yield heavily, and be of an ex-
ccllent quality.
Now that harvest is over and thrcshing
commenced, we find that we some weeks
ago overrated the yield of the wheat
crop in this vicinity. We find that twice
as many bushels of wheat were sown last
spring as have been harvested during the
harvest just ended; while the grain sown
was also of far better quality than that
just gathered.
Miss Jessie E. Masters of Walnut
Grove has gone to De Smet, D. T.. on a
visit of few weeks to her brother at tha,
place. Her brother Jesse accompanied
her, intending to remain permanently.
Miss Mary Kellogg, teacher from the
western part of this State, is visiting a,
the residence of Mrs. s. Longnecker, oil
Walnut Grove. Miss Miller is also visit.
ing Mrs. Longnecker.
Among the late arrivals is son to the
wife of John Holly. of this village.

Important Land Sale.

An extensive sale of lands in this coun-
ty, comprising nearly three thousand
acres scattered in small tracts throughout
the towns Of Brookville, Shutdown, Three
Lakes, Charlcstown. Willow Lake, New
Avon. Redwood Falls, Vail, Vesta, and
unorganized town Ill, range SO. was
placed on record few days ago. The
land in question was originally part of
the land grant to the Southern Minnesota
r. r.. and was purchased for Scotch
colonization society by their Western
agents, Sampson & French, Storm Lake,
Iowa. The price paid. SO, ,241.85, makes
the average cost to the society about
$3.50 per acre. We may reasonably pre-
sumo that these lands were bought for
actual settlement. and that we may soon
have an influx of thrifty Scotch people
contamination dsvoutly to be wished.

Is not the case. The public has only
qualified right 10 the land set apart for a
road. If the highway i. for any cause dis
continued the absolute ownership Of the
land Is immediately vested in the owner
ship Of the property to which ii once be-
longed. Even while portion Of the tract
Is occupied BY road, the owner OF the
adjoining land has the right to improve
the remainder and TO have the benefit Of
its products. providing be does nothing to
iniure travel or interfere with the work
Of persons who have charge of the road.
He IS entitled to the grass or other crops
that grow upon il. Local laws afford
protection to shade, fruit and ornamental
trees planted by the side Of road, as
well as 10 their products. Indeed, the laws
Of several States encourage the planting
and care Of these trees by aaording a re-
bate Of taxes when such trees are planted
and cultivated. They also impose severe
penalties on persons who injure them in
any manner In most Of the western
States the law makers have done all that
was IN their power TO encourage the i'm
prov Of Toadsides.

A warm. dry atmosphere is not IN
wholesome. but when cloudy or rainy
weather bring. sultry air which dampens
everything around US, the atmosphere may
be loaded with germs of disease, and fire is
needed to destroy them. The walls, the cell

meyer be allowed to become damp. Some
times when the warmth of the AIR is Oppres-
sive. fire is more necessary 10 protect US than
in the cold winter, and the rooms of dwell
ing should never be left without means of
warming and drying. Investigations have
shown that many of the most fatal diseases
are caused by the germs of vegetable life,
and that a humid atmosphere is more favor
able for their propagation
