This yield is a remarkably good one
for this year. Mr.. Coleman is good
farmer and will get to the front if any
body does.
The TRIBUNE man made short
visit to Hancock last Saturday. He
found the elevators busy taking in
grain, merchants busy putting up
goods and that collections We're COM
ing in rapidly. The TRIBUNE now
wishes to suggest that Morris bust
ness men and grain dealers go to
Hancock and look about them for a
few minutes. They may get a few
valuable pointers.
Itshould be generally understood
that in case of fire, it is impossible,
on account of limited numbers, for
the firemen to do all of the work.
They can handle the hooks, ladders,
hose and other apparatus, but it is alb
solutely necessary that they have as
sistance in pumping. Ifthen, citizens
IN all cases of fire, will make it a point
to see that the pumps are we'll sup
piled with men, their services Will be
most valuable.
At about half past four o'clock last
Saturday afternoon the wood belong
ing to the Morris Brick Yard
and Manufacturing Co. was discovered
to be on fire in the Northern Pacific
yard. The fire alarm was sounded and
the fire company responded promptly.
There was some delay in getting a
supply of water, but as soon as it was
obtained, the fire men and others
made short work of the fire. The loss
is about twenty-five dollars.
The Morris Brick Yard and Manu-
featuring Co. has recently burned
kiln oppressed brick. Their machinery
tor making this quality of brick was
put in but short time ago and these
brick are the first to be made. The
success of their work in this direction
is now demonstrated beyond ques-
ton. For a number of years ordinary
brick have been successfully manu-
featured and it is now q source of
local pride that the superior grades of
brick can be made equally well. Sam
pies of these pressed brick can be
seen at various places in town and
will bear the closest inspection. They
are perfect in form, hard and smooth,
have rich color and are perfect in
every way: At no place in the coun-
try is better brick being made than
in Morris.

Bill Abel, the passenger and adver-
Using agent of the Manitoba road in
Milwaukee, writes that he delivered
a lecture in Oshkosh short time ago
in which he expatiated upon the adj
yantages of Stegens county as refuge
for seekers of homes In the West. He
writes also that his lecture prod ced
a profound sensation and that he was
helped out of town by storm of rotten
eggs and that next day he was still
worse insulted by being asked to take
an agency for selling lightning rods.
This is wonderful county and if Bill
Abel told of all it's advantages at once,
we DON'T wonder at the trouble he got
into. 1t is more than people can stand.
In his future efforts, he must dilute
with water) some of the big chunks
of knowledge WHICH he contains, Sc
that people may more readily compre:
bend and give credence.
