Morris tribune., 1882-04-27

Well-tO do farmers engaged, or wanted 10
engage, in the milk business This year
several of them ought to engage in it. AT
present there is no one in this vicinity that
makes b, siness of selling milk, and why
it is the average mortal is unable to tell,
since all who have sold any quantity of
the tactical fluid unite in saying that it
pays we'll,
One of our correspondents evidently
made slight mistake this week. He
wrote communication for the TRIBUNE.
and another to his Dear -" He
sent us the wrong one. We glanced at
the beginning, but could read no farther
We returned the missive at once, and out
of pure goodness will refrain from giving
further particulars We are sorry to lose
the letter intended for us; but us the young
lady will gain all that we have lost, We are
c0nsOled.
The weather now a-days is more than all
ordinary person Can describe. When the
snow was falling last Saturday ami pros.
poets were so brilliant for an old fashioned
blizzard. We wrote what seemed a fit nara
tive. The succeeding warm weather with
the thunder shower of Tuesday night, and
the general changeabIeness of atmospheric
conditions have changed matters so ma
terially that our effort is hardly appropriate
now, and must be omitted. We have not
the heart to attempt another article which
will be true description of our spring
weather but will leave the subject i'll
despair.
On last Thursday Messrs G. L. Brown,
F. B. Chew, H. T. Bevaus, l.. G. Spooner,
D. S. Griffin, w. w. Griswold, G. E. Oar
ling and j. A. Giltinan. met at Messrs.
Brown & Chew's Office and organized as
"The Stevens County Bar Association" by
the election OF D. S. Griffin, president; F..
B. Chew, vice president; w. w. Griswold,
treasurer and }. A Giltinan, secretary.
Nessrs Spooner, Darling and Brown
were appointed committee to draft con
stitution and by laws, and also fee bill,
and were instructed to report at the next
meeting of the association, which is to be
held at Messrs Spoener & Griffins offices
on the second Tuesday of May.
Twenty-Five men got off from the train
at Hancock last Friday night to begin
work on the Lake Traverse railroad be
tween Morris and Glenwood Other men
will be set at work soon, for the company
intend to push the work as rapidly as pos
sible Mr.. Delano, of the Northern Pacific
railroad company, in ala interview with
one of our citizens in St. Paul last week,
said that cars would be running into Nor
ris over the Little Falls s. Dakota railroad
before August 1. Men are beginning work
at different points along the line. j. c.
McCarlhy's crew would have been at work
here last week had the weather been good.
"There's IL good time comm,
An it's almost here"
AS far rs we can learn farmers in this
vicinity are this spring putting in greater
variety of seed than ever before. This is a
move in the right direction. The direct
results of it will be felt when the various
CROPS are harvested The Indirect results
will increase from year to year in the en-
richmeit of the land People are inclined
| to find fault with the soil in this section,
because, for the last two or three years,
the wheat crop has not been, as a whole,
what they looked for. These same people
should remembe that even II large yield
of wheat may not, and AS rule does not,
pay us we'll as some other kind of crop.
All over this western country from Mime
sofa to Texas, and from Dakota 10 Cali
fornia, the first crop that is raised for
market is wheat, and as soon as there ID a
good crop the world over wheat will drop
to a figure where even large crops and an
abundant yield will not pay.
The western bound passenger train was
about five hours late OH Tuesday morning.
There were nine coaches, besides other
cars. The coaches, as usual, were filled
with emigrants. Among the emigraDts
upon this train was quite colony from
Nova Scotia bound for Manitoba. Some
three card monte men were also upon the
train, plying their nefarious trade with
strange success. The Nova Scotians suf
fered more than others. One of them,
after being relieved of about $50 for being
too anxious to care for some of the surplus
| cash of one of the professionals, said: 81
have often read of three card monte men,
but never thought they would take me
in" II seems strange that after SO much
about these tricksters has been published
that people sitting with notices bearing the
timely warning beware of confidence
men" just before their eyes, will ind sc
much attraction in dat leedle game" and
allow themselves to be swiudied SO vii
lainously If train men would report tc
competent officials the presence of these
Ubiquitous gentlemen when it is known
that they are upon trains, and evidence i.
positive against them, much of this detest
able stealing might be avoided. Surel,
something ought to be done to protec
credulous people who are now being con-
tinually imposed upon, from such infamous
means of robhing them of cash earned by
honest toll, and which is absolutely needed
by them in the establishment of their new
western homes.
It's strange that the love of gain which
is inherent in all classes of society ant
which is remarkably well developed in TIT
average denizen of this highly favored
village, does not induce the owners o
property to give some little attention to TIT
planting of trees for ornament and shade
We boast of our far sightedness, but il
this matter it is certainly an empty boast
There is nothing, absolutely nothing, that
in proportion 10 the amount invested, vii
bring SO large return in actual money
value, as few dollars invested in SHADE
