LOCAL NOTES.

See advertisement.
y residence is being built upon Fifth
:, St. by Thomas Thomasson. The work
Is progressing rapidly.
The First National Bank is placing
q. furnace intts basement 10 counteract
the approaching winter weather.
The Sawyer elevator busted three
bins last Saturday at Willard letting
out several thousand bushels of wheat,
to the damage of about 5000.
John Dorsey roadmaster on the
Little Falls Il Dakota, has been trans
. ferred to the Main line west of Brain
erd, and is succeeded by Mr.. Downing.
The st. +, NJ. & NJ. road is ballast
ing its side track in town and hauling
gravel to baliost the road farther on
=: north, to make it easy riding for the
weary traveller.
If farmers are dissatisfied with prices
or grades given here, they can have
the use of special bins in the elevators
and themselves ship grain to Duluth
and Minneapolis and get all their
grain is worth. Nothing can be more
fair.
For a time Mt least, G. II. Allyn will
assist Mr.. Bates in conducting the
round elevator. Mr.. Allyn Las had
experience in the wheat business here
and has hosts of friends. Mr.. Bates is
to be congratulated upon securing his
services. :.
DC. Smith probably takes the cake
upon raising oats. From ten ounces
OF seed he has raised thirty-twO
pounds. The heads are from fourteen
to fifteen inches lone. The oats weigh
fifty pounds per bushel. "Welcome'
is the name of the variety.

Oh the Little, Falls & Dakota road is
entitled to all the persimmons there
are upon the tree, and all it will bear
for the year to come, he has a brand
new baby weighing IS pounds, the
largest we have heard of during the
year.
Morris has three elevators, and all
of them are now open. One is con-
troiied by the Millers' Association, an
other 10y Cogel & Decay, independent
buyers, and the third by Mills & Lin
ton, commission merchants, of Du-
luth and Minneapolis. This ought to
insure competition in the wheat mark
ct here.
We have about halt dozen more
plac es of business than we had early
last spring, and all the town needs to
do to progress, is to look after, and
care for its general interests. Reaching
out after new business, and bringing
new customers from a distance, can
be made to pay for the time and labor
invested in doing it.
The Little Falls & Dakota trains
should receive great praise for the
careful manner in which they come
into, and go out of town. We do not
see that it is possible for them to do
anything more to ward of accidents
whichare daily occurring upon other
roads. The road has been ballasted
until it Isl one of the smoothest and
most pleasant to ride upon in the state.
The pools of wateracross the street from
Wolf,& Wells store, and Helgeson &
Hanson's store should for the good
appearance of the street be made to
dry up, or float away. 1t is said that
in wet weather they have no bottom.
1t would be terrible if mule should
in hauling load of lumber through
there be swallowed up so the ears
could not be,seen-it is no more than
right to save mule.
The architect who planned the court
house now in course of construction,
said, not long ago, that the building
could not be completed in one year,
because the season is too short. If
that architect could see the building
now and watch the working of the
crew who are putting OH the finishing
touches, he,would change his mind.
Mr.. WhitteInore, the contractor, has
rushed the work to such good advan-
tage that the shortness of the season
will not bother him.
Last Sabbath morning Rev. Boyd
Phelps preached again in the M. Z.
church. In assigning Rev. Phelps to
this work for another year, the confer
ence has acted in accordance with the
wishes of the Methodist congregation
here, as they were unanimous in
wishing his return. Services will
hereafter be. held regularly each Sum
day morning, at half past ten o'clock,
which service will be followed by SUM-
day school,. Soon it is intended to
have evening services as well.
