From d. III. Tandy, who called upon
your scribe lately, we learn that Ham
line University is prospecting finely
this year, and will graduate class of
three at the next commencement, of
which Mr.. Tandy is one. His friends
in the southern part of Pierce county
will be glad to know that he has taken
two courses, and is sure of one degree
and if his health is good until COM
meneement he hopes to finish two
courses. Recent heavy gifts have
placed the University in good linan-
cial condition.

nopolist elevators and the farmers and

being swindled. The Red River Val
ley is very much depressed upon this

are fiat; city and country property is
almost given away.
