Agricultural Society

Last Monday evening an adjourned
meeting Of the society was held in Iu
sic Hall, to hear the committee re
port on constitution and bylaws.
Col. Hayes was called to the chair
and Mr.. 2. Beneteau, to act as Secre-
tary.
Upon request Mr.. P. Beneteau,
Chairman of the committee on consti-
tuition and bylaws read the constitu
ton as prepared by the committee, or
rather an exact copy Of the Duluth
society's constitution. Mr. Beneteau
who held the position Of president Of
the society in Duluth last year and
who is otherwise well posted in the
working of agricultural societies, ex-
planned many points of interest rela-
tive to the future prospects, and posi-
bilities.
If we may judge by the interest
manifested at the meetings already
held we can safely say that the time
when the cultivation of the soil was
considered a last resort, is past, and
that many Of the most enterprising
citizens will now be found occupied at
their garden or farm work Is evident.
We can therefore safely say that next
fall sometime there will be an agri-
cultural fair here in Superior, and
premiums awarded, after which this
county will be entitled to its share Of
the state funds appropriated for that
purpose. And we expect to rival and
even discount the exhibition which
may be held in this vicinity for hun
dreds Of miles around We here have
the climate as well as our neighbors
and far better soil, and a great deal
more of it. We also have a large
number of men who have been work
ing in the woods and mines who now
see the ACCESSIBILITY to secure a small
piece Of land and there locate them
selves and families with fair prospect
Of future success.
The constitution and bylaws Of the
society will appear in a future num-
Der of the TIMES, look out for it. \
meeting IS called for next Monday
evening at Music Hall for the pur-
pose Of electing officers and deciding
on a course Of action for the future,
and we hope the meeting will be well
attended.

To THE EDITOR:
The Duluth Tribune talks about
"old fossils" and ghosts at Superior,
and wants some funerals over here.
An invitation is extended to the d. T.

assumes TO put on the airs, and gener-
al similitude of cowboy who fires his

which it not seldom comes well kick

fact there is very little that is sacred
or of good report, either in heaven or
on earth, at which it has not some
time or other made mouths ana run
out its tongue.
The Inter-Ocean, too, wants some
funerals, but will condescend to let
the place off, il Superior people will
unite and take some action for the
development of permanent business. :"

DULUTH, Special Telegram, April
26.-George II. Searight, the secre-
tary Of the Searight Cattle company
Of Cheyenne, Wyo., whose stock ranges
are between the Platte and the Pow
der rivers, were here yesterday, look
ing over locations for new cattle yards
here for his own and other companies.
If his report is acceptable, co-opera-
tive association will be formed to buiId
buildings corrals here for the accom-
mediation of 10000 head of cattle.
The companies have heretofore been
forwarding cattle to market by the
Union Pacific, but this year the Sioux
City and Pacific will be built through
their ranges, giving them q new out
let, and they Y Il probably send cat
tie to the heau of Lake Superior to
be shipped east on boats. 1t is likely
that yards will be built on the Ne
madii river, near the Powder river cat
tie yards, near Duluth, though q site
on the other side Of the river may pos
sibIy be selected. The companies en-
gagged in the enterprise have a com
bined capital Of 100000.
We find the aboye in the Pioneer
Press Of Monday. The essential points
in the item, viz: the magnitude of the
company and that it will no doubt
come here are all correct. But the
funny part IS the statement that the
yards will be near Duluth. The To-
cation above referred to is in Wiscon-
sin, town Of Superior, and about fit
teen miles distant from Duluth.

We believe that this season will de-
vclop and settle the fact that Dakota
is about as good corn country us the
best. We know that the people of Sui
ly county are satisfied of it, many OF
them pointing with pride to las good
corn fields ut this season of the year rs
they ever had" as they express it.
And, after this season, it will be good
bye to the lttle-eared "tucket -
corn, for it is demonstrated that the
mammoth varieties of dent will do well
with us. There are number of fields
of the Michigan dent throughout this
section which slX-fOoter cannot
reach the top Of and is caring out
well. The middle of September will
place it out of danger of frost, which
did not come until considerably after
that date the past two seasons. Our
northern latitude is compensated by
the heightened days of sunshine we re-
ceive during the long cycle of old sol
in his orbit from north east where he
rises around to the north west where he
sets. Corn is King" and Dakota is
in the kingdom of corn. With the best
small grain lands in the world, mixed
with corn and plenty of cattle and hogs,
Dakota is destined to be the envy OF
all the human race unfortunate enough
not to own an Inheritance therein.

After mature deliberation, the com
mittee elected to arrange programme
for memorial services to be held at the
Christian College, Clifton, on the death
Of General Grant, took the liberty of
postponing the date of holding said
services from this afternoon until to-
morrow morning-Sunday, Aug. 9th
at Ii o'clock. This will unquestiona-
bly, give much better satisfaction than
it would to have held them this after
noon, as so many more will be able to
attend. The College is being as ap-
propriately draped as the means at
hand will ALLOW. A number from differ
ent parts OF the county have signified
an intention to attend. The following
is the programme of exercises:
