A Fine Country Indeed!

\ country where the finest wheat
and the best corn can be raised is Ger.
talnly a goodly land in which to live.
Such is the famous Milestone Valley
IN which the counties of Grant and
Roberts are located In addition to
these cereals we also raise the finest
and most nutritious grasses npon
which stock fatten in remark ably
short time after being turned out to
pasture. With rich black loan, av.
eragIng from two to three feet deep,
and a splendid clay subsoil which h 61ds
the moisture and thus robs Grouth Of
all its terrors, we who are fortunate
enough to live in this beautif ul and
fertile MILESTONE Valley should be
truly thankful that our lives are cast
in such pleasant places In addition
to all this we can boast. too, of the
hundreds of streams and rivulets that
Wend their way from the range Of
hills on our west in every direction
through the valley to Big Stone lake
and the Minnesota river.
Thus, in addition to our magnificent
agricultural resources we also have
all the elements that go towards max.
inga profitable dairying country.
Are not all these natural advantages
enough to make US happy in the
thought that in the midst Of financial
reverses that are periodically occurring
in the older states. we have the al
most certainty Of always enjoying a
prosperous and contenled condition in
life. provided we take advantage of
the opportunities thus presented us.

PLAYING NAY AGAINST DECEMBER.

a Dry Goods Merchants Successful scheme
for Laying In IL Full Stock of Cheap
Clerks.
But there is another scheme for get
ting cheap clerks that the dry goods
merchant essays, generally with great
success.
IL is this:
A young man enters the store, and
asks for something to do. The en-
ployer wrinkles his forehead, works his
eyebrows down on his nose to give him
the appearance of being capable of pro-
found thought, and says:
$50 You want work."
yes"
We'll, We are. full at present. How
much do you expect?'
Ten dollars week.
"Ten dollars q week $40 a week !"
replies the merchant, snatching the
young mans sentence and hurting it
back at him like brick.
"Yes, SIR" says the young man; $50
a week"
Then the merchant lies back in the
chair and regards the young man with
a patronizing air.
"We never give such a salary to
young, fresh, and inexperienced me i.
We can get men of 80, with years of ex-
perience, for the sum you ask. We
have no use for boys, because they are
wild and more bother than they are
worth. What we want are men of
years and experience. We will give
you 81 per week"
frha vopno man acaontc onl o,Ooc 20
work. Then a man of about 30 walks
in and solicits employment. The mer
chant lies back in his chair so far that,
if he happens to be corpulent, he re-
minds one of the terrapin stretched out
in front of restaurant, with placard
on his under shell informing the pedes-
trian when he is to be served up. Then
the merchant says, as he did TO the
young man:
SO you want work 2"
Yes"
We'll, we are full at present. How
much do you WANT"
Ten dollars week"
Ten dollars week! !" says the mer-
chant, in tone that shows he is in a
condition bordering on asphyXia.
"Yes, SIR" responds the old man !;
$50 per week.
Then the merchant lies back in his
chair so far that he barely escapes
going all the way over and sliding along
the floor on his spine.
We never give such a large salary
to old men, because they are slow and
decrepit, and in their own way. We
don't care for old men, because they
have old ideas and are way behind the
times. For the sum you ask we can
get bright young men with the light
of the morning of life in their faces.
They have new ideas, and are full of
vim, and can work five times harder
and longer than the fossils who base
their claims on an experience that
might have been valuable III 1910.
What we want are live young men. We
will give you - per week"
The old man accepts. And this is
the way the merchant plays December
off against May, and May of against
December PucE.

at would be difficult to tell. Both
had genius commensurate with their
opportunities, and both deserve to be
ranked among the greatest Generals of
the age"
WAS either greater than the other ?"
1T would be had to tell. They were,
doubtless, possessed OF different quail
ties. Lee was quick to plan, and John
ston matchless in performance. Lee
was superb in the defensive and John
ston was without peer in the offens-
i've. Lee had grand fighting qualities,
and Johnston could equal Napoleon

what about other Southern Gen
erals?"
II think Beauregard should rank
next to Lee and Johnston. He made
an excellent officer, and perhaps had
no equal as an engineer in the army. F"
Where is Longstreet's placer"
"He made an excellent fighter, and

Flies and Disease.

Flies have more than once been
charged with being the bearers of in
lection upon the feet, wings and pro
boscis, but DR.. Grassi has discovered
another way in which they may be car
riers of disease germs, and the source
of food pollution. He finds that they
may feed upon the ova of parasitic
worms, and subsequently deposit them
elsewhere, unchanged, in their feces.
Remarking upon this the Record says (:

their perso al habits, somewhat

is raised. y Foote's Health Monthly.

On last Thursday M. c. George, of
Oregon, obtained unanimous consent
in the lower house of Congress to take
from the speakers table the bill which
passed the senate in January, author
izing the secretary of the treasury to
pay $4,000 to F. G. Schwatka and
wife of Salem, Oregon, for property
taken from them by the United States
military authorities. This property
upon which Fort Stevens, at the mouth
of the Columbia river, now stands,
was appropriated by the government
in 1854, and ever since Schwatka, has
been trying to obtain payment. At
the request of Holman, George to-day
made short statement of the case, in
which he said Schwatka and wife were
now old and dependent, and the
passage OF the bill was an act of mercy.
No objection being made, the bill was
passed, and this afternoon was sent to
President Arthur for signature. 1t
has been pending in congress for many
years.

There can be no doubt that a
measure in the tariff proposition now
before congress is prompted by the
Central Pacific railroad company, and
is solely in their interest. The measure
for taking off the duty from foreign
coal, which now pays the small tax of
IS cents per ton, will seriously affect
the interest of Oregon and Washington,
from the fact that by the terms of
settlement recently, arranged between
the dominion government and the
province of British Columbia grant
of $750,ooO and 100000 acres of
land was made to company upon the
condition of building line of railroad
between Esquimalt and Nanaimo, a
distance of IS miles. The Central
Pacific railroad company and Robert
Dunsmuir, of Victoria, have received
this grant, which lies on the eastern
side of Vancouver's island, and in
cludes nearly all the coal deposits near
the coast of the province. The effect
Of this is ito give this company the
monopoly of the coal product of British
Columbia. It is evident that the item
in the tariff bill allowing the free i'm
portation of coal is made in the inter
est of this company, and is part of ii
scheme to bring British Columbia coal
into competition with domestic Goals in
the markets of the Pacific coast. The
British Columbia coal is in unlimited
quantity. is quite accessible, and is of
better quality than that produced in
any mine in Washington Territory,
Oregon or California, 1t is easy to see
that if Morrison's bill is passed, and
the tariff removed from coal, it will
practically drive our coal out Of the
market.
