road commissioners taking proper
cognizance of complaints received
from our cltizens.-Herman Herald.
The Morris Tribune facetiously rises
to remark that G. w. Comstock at
tended the Fair at Morris to see what
he could find fault with. Now Bro.
Randall, just to show you that we are
willing to acknowledge a good thing
when we see it; the only thing we
saw there, but what was perfect was
Stanton's Bull: we noticed he was a
tritle lame. Still We don't blame the
Tribune for that.-Olive Branch.
While on our way from Minneapo-
lis the first of the week we stopped
over night ut Morris, with mine host
Bemis, and now we know why it is
that the Benlis House Is so popular
with the travelling public. A good
thing is always appreciated and Mr..
Bemis realizing this fact spares no
pains to secure the best possible for
all guests enjoying the hospitality OF
his house-Glenwood Press-Bulletin.
Mr.. John Halgren "a years of age,
working upon the farm of T. P. Sher-
man near Morris, last week, had his
left hand and arm so badly crushed
that it had to be amputated. He is q
poor man, and without relatives in
this country financially able to help
him. He has been kindly cared for
by the people of Morris, but his in
jury is severe one and will take
some time for his recoyery.-Sauk
Centre Tribune.
\ reference to the map will show
how easily a new line of railroad can
be built from Marshall OH the North
western, or Appleton on the Mill
waukec road to Morris. Fergus Falls,
Lake Park and on to the international
boundary line. Such road will have
almost an air line through most fer
tile and productive country. 1t can
be easily built, as no portion of the
territory traversed will require heavy
grading, and will have u profitable
business from the time the rails are
laid. In no other place are such in
ducements offered to railroad builders
and it is question of but a short
time when such line Will be put in
operation.
In consideration of the amount of
business given therailroad companies
here, we think the companies ought
to show their appreciation, by at least
building q depot adequate to the
wants of the place, but it seems they
are not willing to do it. Instead of
putting up new depot, such as bust
ness interests demand, the company
is simply making few repairs in
their antiquated shell that has an
swered for depot, 10! these many
years. Apparently just enough is being
done to comply with legal require
ments. Two waiting rooms are be-
ing made and Il few necessary changes
and alterations. The most conspicu-
Gus portions of the work ofrepairs are
the highly ornamental, pepper and
salt decorations upon the roof.
One of the great mistakes of our
farmers is in putting Off the haying
season until late in the fall. Septem-
Der hay, unless it be the second crop,
is little better than straw and the
farmers who are changing from wheat
to stock, must give more attention to
this matter of making hay in due
season. Some argue that hay cut af-
ter it is ripe is better because lit will
go farther" 1t may take the cattle
longer to eat and digest the dirty,
woody mess, but as for nutriment
there can be but little in it. When
the main use of hay was for winter
fuel, it was policy, nQ doubt, to cut it
late in the season after the juices had
gone out of it and the fibre had be-
come woody, but for forage purposes
we want something more succulent
and nourishing, and that is hay cut
and cured when it is fresh and green.
-Montevideo Leader.
The wheat market in Morris so far
this season has been in a decidedly
unsatisfactory condition. It is un-
necessary for the TRIBUNE to enumer-
ate the things that have been wrong
because ali residents aud farmers liv-
ing adjacent already know what they
are. Some blame local dealers, others
the railroads and still others blame
both. Railroad pooling and discrim-
NATION are serious matters and re-
quire time for correction. Butthings
are working and whatever the place
is suffering from these sources will be
corrected. The difficulties o. Charged to
local wheat dealers are of a nature
that can and are to be Immediately
corrected by local competition. C. P.
Maginnis is now busy erecting q
warehouse for the expressed purpose
of lnfnsipg life into the wheat bust
ness here. This house will be COM
pleted in few days when the market
will at once become as good as it is
possible for local competition to make
it. The building of this other house
is a matter of congratulations to all
farmers who have wheat to sell and
| to all the business men Of Morris. III
may result in intensifying personal
animosities between few of the
! nlaneyad men of the place, but it viii
enable farmers to get all there Is in
their wheat which is the most imnor
tant consideration, Farmers ant
| business men are happiest when grair
buyers are fighting hardest for the
! wheat.
