the citizens of Wlllmar say If natural
gas were discovered in the vicinity o.
Willmar? Strange things have
happened. From Investigations by
Prof. Sheel of the Seminary it has
been demonstrated that there is
natural gas in certain localities about
Foot Lake, but the Investigations
have not been extended sufficiently
as yet To demonstrate fully whether
the gas comes from II natural reser-
voir or is otherwise produced. 1t
would be u good plan to raise funds
and have II thorough investigation
made. The benefits that would accrue
to Willmar in case natural gas III
large quantities was found can hardly
be estimated.
We think from the Information we
have received that the farmers OF
Stevens county have not put up a
very large amount of hay this season.
Harvesting coming on so early, right
III the midst of haying, that they
were prevented from putting up the
amount of hay they intended to.
And besides, the crop of grass in the
county was not heavy. The crop of
corn In the county, however, is good,
and II large amount Of most excellent
fodder for stock, especially cattle, can
be secured by saving the entire crop
of corn fodder in good shape, the
same as the farmers of the eastern
and southern states do. This would
help out the farmers who are short
Of hay, aud in many Instances give
them hay to sell.
The man who talks we'll of his
town, and works for the good of his
town, speaks and works for his own
we'll doing. The man who talks ill
of his town and disparagingly of its
people, talks and works for his own
undoing. \ man in business should
not have only interest but confidence
III that business. A stranger coming
into u city and finding u feeling of
and confidence prevailing, at
once becomes impressed with faith
which will not be put aside even if he
attempts to do so. Sooner or later he
will, it is probable, return, and cast
his fortunes and future with that
place and that manner OF people.
The man who doubts, discusses and
damns his neighbor is not u true
friend to the community in which he

Wheaton Gazette: Severed farmers
here have applied for cars to ship
their own wheat but have been re-
fused. We are informed that the
agent here has received instructions
to furnish no cars to farmers to load
from wagons, that all wheat must
pass through ali elevator before it can
be loaded into cars. A complaint las
been forwarded to the railroad COM
missioners and farmers are a%nXiously
awaiting the action of the board.
Under the law railroad companies are
obliged to furnish ears to any who
desire to ship, and no difficulty
of this kind has heretofore been eX-
.perienced at this point, therefore all
are at a loss to understand why the
company should forward such in
or how they can defend the
position they have taken.
All local papers have a number of
wholesale dealers on their subscrlp-
ton list. The editor of q trade
the other day interviewed a
wholesaler and the dealer said: "By
watching the advertising columns OF
u newspaper we are enabled to know
the exact condition of mercantile
affairs and the general prosperity or
depression in the town where the
paper is published. We can sit down
at our desk and pick out the live bust
ness towns over the country and also
the slow and dead towns. There is
no better index TO a town than it's
paper. 1t is the enterprise of the in
habitants and not the size of the
buildings that makes the town. You
may pick up u paper and read at a
glance: W. mean business or
We're deader than a stuffed Bird as
plainly as though it were printed in
big type and red ink across each
page"
