Mart Cashier is one of the old-time boys
of st. Paul, and probably is known as well
and extensively throughout the Northwest
as any of the younger class of business
men. Away back, in the time when the
Red river carts came down to ST. Paul
drawn by oxen, and all the trade between
the forts, hundreds Of miles west and north
west of this city had no other mode of
transportation than these little primitive
carts; in those days even, Mr.. Cashiers
reputation had gone abroad through
the country. His humorous stories
and practical jokes made him
well-known all through this region. His
reputation had gone through all the forts
of the frontier, so that If anything a little
off color was perpetrated it was very natur-
ally attributed to Mart Cashier. The fall
and spring were the pet periods when Mart
got in his finest lace work. During those
periods bids were received for supplying the
various posts, and then it was that Mart
doomed up as the man who put in the straw
bids. This reputation circulated far and
wide. Mr.. Cashier is now in ST. Paul, en-
| jOying the friendship of his large circle of
acquaintance, and no one is more entitled
celved letter from Sturgis City, Oak. On
opening the envelope it was found that ii
contained piece of blank proposal and
half dozen short oat straws, labeled:
IBID No. g." Cashiers friends now have
the call on him, and like good soldier in
the cause, he stands up and takes his own
medicine while at the same time he studies
day and night how to get back on that Stur-
gis City man.

is rather rough the park gives evidence thai

| Said member of leading wholesale
millinery firm-We are very much pleased
with the progress that we have made in this
| city. Our trade has more than doubled.
Formerly, fine, expensive goods were not
| in demand, but now they are in as much
| request as in ST. Louis OF Chicago, and have
| to be kept in stock by the trade here. This
must always be the leading city Of the job
bling trade of the Northwest. People come
here from Minneapolis to buy goods from
the wholesale houses and some of Ourpeople,
L am sorry to say, return the compliment by
going to Minneapolis to do shopping at the
retail houses.

A Commercial Traveler-s'The wheat
crop is looking splendid in Goodhue, Wa
basha, Steele and Dodge counties. The corn
is up two inches. The wheat acreage is
less than last years in Goodhue, but the
corn is greater. In LIE Sueur county there
was considerable clearing done last winter
and the land is planted with corn. In
Goodhue county people are going more into
stock raising as they find that it pays bet
