A fire caught in the roof of A. B.
Johrson's residence last Thursday
evening but after stubborn fight was
extineuisheG. There was large
quantity of snow on the roof which
helped to keep the fire under control.
The damage was slight.
For considerable of the matter in
the last issue of the TRIBUNE proofs
were read but through an oversight
the errors marked were not corrected
IN type. This will explain some OF
the incomprehensible errors in the
correspondence and in a portion OF
the editorials in our last issue.
while land is new cultivation is
more important than fertilization.
7rtiIizers do good now but years
ce when fields shall o:si1 nave b. "a
cropped for years in succession they
will be of much greater Importance.
Thorough cultivation of land however
is as imperative now while land is
new as when it shall have become old.
ANY new soil must be thoroughly
.subdued before the bests results are at
tainable.
In voting bonds to secure the con-
struction Of the L. T. & D. railroad
the people of Stevens county made no
mistake. If by voting additional
bonds another railway connecting
with the Milwaukee and Northwest
ern roads could be secured it will pay
to do so. With such road the wheat
question would be settled for all time
to come 50 far as this locality is con-
cerned. Stevens county would then
enjoy the results Of competition be-
tween monopolies.
The drawing for the music box at
yChas. W. Rohne's drug store took
place last Saturday evening. Nearly
800 numbers were out. Slips Of card
board upon which were corresponding
numbers were put together and thor
oughly shaken. Then a boy, blind
folded, drew one of the slips. DR..
Hulburd held the number which cor
responded with the one so drawn and
was thus entitled to the prize. The
DIR. invited the less fortunate ones to
smoke which invitation was generally
accepted. The music box is fine one
being worth about thirty dollars.
Rev. Father Watry is contemplat-
ing the establishment of a graded
school for the children Of his parish
and any others who may wish to at
tend. Nothing is definitely decided
as yet but if the contemplated plan is
carried out Rev. Father Watry will
build upon lots opposite the church
property school building of ample
proportions conveniently arranged
for those who will attend, and establish
a permanent graded school. If this
be done large number ofpupils will
attend, who are now i'll attendance at
the public schools. We expect to
to be able to give more definite in
formation soon.
The Morris TRIBUNE came out with
wish to know who are the reporters
for the r. G.. Dunn & Co. and Brad
street Commercial Agencies. Say,
Mr.. TRIBUNE, isn't that little ''too
fresh,n not to know the reporters oil
your own village? IF you really want
tc know, and can't find out at home
call at the Branch office and we will
inform you, as we should really enjoy
reading an exposure of any Morris
yillainy in the TRIBUNE. Now dom
back water, but just sail right into
them.-Olive Branch.
The TRIBUNE is affecting no igno-
rance in this matter. We do not pre-
tend to be ignorant i'll regard to who
the reporters for those. agencies are
at least of some of them. What tin,
TRIBUNE wishes to know Is, which 0
the numerous reporters located iera
have been guilty Of making false o
malicious reports regarding the COM
mercial standing of some of the priD
cipal business men of Morris. IF til,
Olive Branch can give the desired in
formation it will be gratefully re
