work and that he is now devoting his
time to well-digging. He has COM
pleted fine we'll for Dennis Murphy

Brennan. Mr. Dohlen has had ex-

the mill running all the time. They
give notice this week that they will
grind no more feed, SO that they may
give the more attention to the manu-
facture of flour. Copious rains are
needed.
Ortonville has voted 1000, 90 bonds
to aid in the construction of the Or
tonville and Lake Superior railroad.

the Little Falls & Dakota branch of the
Northern Pacific and, for the sake oil
the people of ortonviile, we hope that
when this company reaches that place
it will not at once enter into poo
and thus derive the people of two
thirds of the benefits which the new
road should bring them.
We now wish to hear from our de
Iinquent subscribers. We have wait
ed long and patiently for some o
them. Now all kinds of farm pro
duce bring fair prices and there i.
no one in this county 40 poor that III
can not raise the small amount of his
Indebtedness to this paper. Further
more, we need the money. We cal
not buy ink, paper and nav helm il
