Morris tribune. [volume] (Morris, Minn.) 1880-2000, 1882-12-07

During two weeks past the TRIBUNE
has been conspicuous principally by
it's absence. When, just after this pa
per had been derived of all that is
tangible, we issued half sheet, it
was done simply to maintain a con-
tinuous legal existence, thus protect
ing the interests of all legal advertis-
ers. One week ago our condition was
but little improved. We were with
out type, presses, and in fact every
thing needed by publishers to work
with; were dependent upon the kind
ness of others, and we could do but
little better than the week before.
Now we are pleased to announce that
we are more happily situated. Hav-
ing purchased the Office of the Morris
Journal and added largely to the stock
on hand, we are again prepared for
work. AS we did not take possession
of our new quarters till Monday NOR
ming, this issue has of necessity been
hastily prepared, and we ask the in
diligence of our readers as they note
its iInperfections. We expect, how
ever to bring order out of present con-
fusion and have everything in work.
ing order in q few days, so that the
TRIBUNE may be expected regularly
hereafter; improved, if changed at all
from its former self,

Or Words to that Effect.

The wood business at this particular
point in the famous treeless region is
becoming colossal in its immensely,
and by rapidly assuming such gigan-
tic proportions and forcing itself into
remarkable prominence must be rec
ognized as one of the leading indus
tries of this incommensurate burgh.
In one of our lugubrious moods after
having purchased a of a cord of bass
wood we tried to explain the phenom-
email growth of this particular branch
of our thriving trade. Knowing that
"there are millions in it," we even
had an ill-defined hankering to "catch
onn to this fuel speculation, and had
it not been for certain deficiencies in
our financial resources we no doubt
would ere this have had and unboun-
ded wood yard with an incompatible
stock on hand.
You see there are competing forests,
competing railroads, etc. In one
place you can probably buy greener
wood, more thoroughly mixed, for
more money than in another, and it
is quite certain that for shipping this
wood a given distance one railroad
will beyond doubt charge fully as
much as the other, though just where
the difference lies we are unable at
the present writing to tell. It has al
so been demonstrated beyond a shad-
ow of doubt that there is great de-
mand for this wood. All through the
town, and scattered all over these
broad prairies are families who, if they
do not use coal or other fuel, must use
wood. This wood then must be
bought. To one who is watching
for the main chance" who buys ION
easy TERMS" and who sells quickly
and lots of it, there are possibilities
for stupendous gains.
These golden opportunities are being
embraced. Up to the time of going
to press seven firms and "solid" men
have gaily embarked in this booming
enterprise, and have hung out shin
gle "wood for SALE" Others are con-
templating doing SO Immediately, and
we expect soon to be able to announce
startling Developments in this extra
ordinary department of our domestic
commerce.

conducted in the Episcopal church.
The variety, attractiveness and ex-
tent of the display of holiday goods
by local merchants has never been
equalled. In the selection of their
various assortments they must have
had an exalted opinion of the liberali-
ty shown, and the lavish method of
observance of the holiday season by
the people of Morris and vicinity, and
we believe the brisk trade of the next
few weeks will fully justify the
amount of their purchases. In this
matter the business men have shown
commendable enterprise and sagacity
and have assortments of goods which
command admiration. They are album
dainty able to supply the trade in and
tributary to Morris, and we hope that
our readers will buy their holiday
gifts of them, and not send away to
the cities, as some are in the habit OF
doing, for no better goods nor lower
prices can be obtained there than at
home.
Max Buckentin does not propose to
allow his business to be long Interrupt
ted by his recent misfortune. He set
men at work repairing his badly rid

fire and now has it very nearly ready

building has been patched, new
floor is being put in and when the
plastering is completed the building
will be as good as it was before. Con.
siderable of his stock was lost but there
is quite large portion of it saved
which will be ready for inspection
and sale by Saturday of this week
The medicines saved with torn OIL
soiled wrappers, which are injured
only in appearance, will be sold al
greatly reduced rates. Mr.. Buckentil
has ordered bottles with which to re-
place those that were smashed, and {
large stock of new goods have alst
been ordered which will complete thu
stock now on hand. In very few
days the store will be in running or

All Ready.

The weather during the past fall has
been all that could be expected, and
as cold weather has been late in COM
ing farmers have had unusual oppor-
tunities for completing farm work and
preparing for winter. Threshing, as
a rule, is done. To be sure stacks of
grain are yet to be seen, here and
there over the prairie, but they are
exceptional. AS vet we have heard
of no instances where potatoes have
frozen in the ground, as often occurs
when cold weather comes on more
suddenly. Corn, though not as yet
raised in large quantities in the coun-
ty, is generally cared for SO that but
few farmers are compelled to suffer
now with cold fingers while husking
it. Garden vegetables have been
grown quite extensively during the
past season and the abundant crop
has all been secured. None of it was
this year destroyed by early frosts and
now the cellars of thrifty farmers
throughout the county, filled to over
flowing as they are, speak in plainest
language of the bountifulness Of the
harvest past, and are gratifying assur-
ances of the supplies in store for this,
the winter, season.
| A much larger acrege of fall plow-
ing is done than usual. Fall blowing
| is by far the best for farm products,
and farmers seem to have acted vigor-
| ously upon this knowledge. If fall
blowing is sufficient, Q good crop may
be anticipated for the cosnipg season.
In passing through the country, too,
one notices well banked houses, and
stables thoroughly thatched with
straw, which shows that the fine
weather has been improved; that
! work on the whole is done; and that
people are well prepared for winter.

POINTS FOR TAXPAYERS.

When Gilbert Bixby became a
member Of the Board Of County Com
missioners he took an oath that he
would fulfill the duties Of the office
according to law. His salary was
fixed by law at 5000 per annum, and
mileage. He drew this amount rcgu-
larly, and at the July quarterly meet
ing of this year allowed himself, and
drew, TWO HUNDRED DOLLARS
EXTRA.
This is fact that can be substan-
tiated by the books Of the County
Treasurer. Mr.. Bixby, being charged
with it, admitted the correctness Of
the charge.
Mr.. Bixby is up for recollection.
Will the people Of Alturas county
vote for him, and thus tacitly indorsc
his official acts?
If Mr.. Bixby is re elected, his re-
election will seem as reward for hay
ing done the very acts that should in
sure his permanent retirement from
public office; and other otliceholders,
seeing that such a fragrant violation of
law as his is allowed to go unpun-
ished, will be apt to follow his exam
pie.
Can the taxpayers Of Alturas coun-
ty afford to take such chances? 1t is
for them to act, and say by their votes
whether they can, or no.

HON. ENOCH sTROTHER.
4 Deserved Eulogy of the Next Governor
of Nevada.
Carson City tNev.) INDEX

Carson City (Ney.) Index.l
We observe many filings in Demo-
GRATIS newspapers against Hon. Enoch
Strother our Republican candidate
for Governor. They mostly partake
of the insinuation that he is cold and
selfish and therefore not the kind of
man to fill the gubernatorial chair.
Such campaign talk is not only i'm
kind but wholly untrue.
Enoch Strother is truly enough a
man of careful business habits and
prosperous citizen, but he is no mser.
There is no citizen of Nevada more
kindly disposed or who dispenses
N ,re charities to those in need of his
aid than Mr.. Strother. Those who
have known him long and Intimately
are able to vouch for the fact that he
has always been kindhearted and
generous to the necesstous, and in a
perfectly transformations way he has
given away large amounts OF money.
He makes no boasts of these things
and they are known to but few others
than his personal friends and those
who have experienced his benevolence.
The fact that Mr.. Strother is max
ing quiet, manly. clean and honora-
bic canvass of this State is Just SO
much in his favor. He is content to
CO ascrve the goodwill of all whose
support is worth securing. The fact
that his journerings about the State
have not been reported as marked
here and there by drunkenness and
carousal is the sure forerunner of a
solid support on election day which
will as.onish his most ardent friends
and discomtit his enemies. He will
take his high Office with dignity and a
clean conscience. He will have formed
no entangling alliances TO discrcdit
his administration. He will be a Gov
ernor Of whom Nevada may well be
proud, and the Republican party will
have representative man who will
subserye its highest interests. Voters
everywhere in this State should think
twice before yielding attention to
Democratic attacks OH Mr.. Stroller.
The fact that they can say no more
than they do, is the strongest proof Of
his unusual merit as man and a citi-
zen. Let Republicans stand firm for
Sfrothcr.

Very well-meaning citizens

Very well-meaning citizens
who desire to see Mr.. Bixby defeated,
claim that the course of the TIMES is
calculated to create sympathy for him.
We are we'll aware of the fact that,
charges made against candidate in
the heat Of campaign frequently re-
act in his favor, because voters are too
apt to consider such charges un-
founded. But if the charges are true,
the person against whom they are
made is eventually brought to justice,
even though he should have been re-
peatcdly elected to Office in the mean
time. This is what we feel confident
Of accomplishing, even if Mr.. Bixby
should be elected. At some future
time an active grand jury may be i'm
paneled, who will cause the charges
preferred by the TINES to be investi-
gated, and this investigation may lead
to the unearthing Of other charges,
not only against Mr.. Bixby, but against
many others who have been in public
Office, at various times, while the heavy
debt which hangs over the county to-
day has been accommodating. If the
taxpayers can afford to await that dim
future, the TIMES certainly can.
