A Live Question.

Magnificent as is the outlook in the
new northwest-the two Dakotas,
Montana and Minnesota-the climate
initiates against it in the minds of
some. The ''rustlers'' of this section
regard the swapping cold of winter as
simply "bracing," and go about their
business with additional vim, but
many who were born and bred in soft
er climes are looking for a country
where King Borealis does not hold
sway quite so long. To such we would
say that Louisiana, Alabama, Tenne-
see and Arkansas have plenty of cheap
and fertile lands. and winter clim-
ate unsurpassed in agreeble softness.
To reach any of these states from the
north west "rhe Burlington" is un
.questionably the favorite route, hav-
ing IT'S own route from Minneapolis
and st. paulto both Chicago and St.
Louis, and an l.nrivaled equipment.

On Tuesday last the town was
thrown into state of CONSERVATION
at the announcement that man was
passing bogus silver. A shoemaker
on 5th street, and Mike Foley, each
got $500 of it. One merchant dis.
charged his clerk for taking in some
of it. The express agent was too
sharp to be imposed upon, and refused
to touch IT,. At the rate it circulated
around town it looked as if the fellow
had taken this way to liquidate his
debts, and also to lay in supply for
future use. Finally, the officers got
onto the racket, the village attorney,
sheriff, marshal, etc., were all in COM
motion; they traced him to his home,
and he proved to he Jas. Carney, who
works for the Sisters of Mercy, at the
Indian school. He had got his wages,
and it was good silver when the Sis
tiers paid him. He was captured and
brought to the court house and inves-
tigated. 1t was found that in his
pocket full of silver he had also placed
a bottle of quick silver, the bottle
broke, and the coin got coated with
the contents. Now Jim can't be pun
ished for passing bogus money, and
the question what will they do with
him. Can't somebody get law pass
ed to punish him for deteriorating the
] value Of bis OWE money.

For two months past, we have
noticed several times, the numerous
loads of lumber that have been leav-
ing Morris. Now it's lumber and
stove pipe. It's difficult to see a
team leave town without stove pipe
to top off the load with. Wouldn't it
be good idea for the clergy to have
week of special service, for the
benefit of the souls of those men who
attempt to put up stoves. We don't
mean to include in this list, w. J.
Dumble, or Tory Seaverson, who are
scientists in the business, but ordina-
ry human beings, who think they
can't put up a stove pipe without
swearing. Let some placid man,
who is on good terms with the world,
try 10 put lot of stove pipe together,
and see if he won't become charitable
to his neighbor, who has lost his
patience, and control of his language.
''SWear not at all, is the command.
But, if there is any excuse for the
violation of this command, it should
be for the mortal with a small guam
tity of patience, and a still smaller
quantity of skill, who will undertake
to ft together joints of stove pipe
that were never made to fit.

A Winter Vacation.

Do you think that sounds strange!
Probably because you are a city
dwelIer and take your vacation in the
dog days. The farmer, however, and
there are more of him than of you, is
too busy in the summer, and if he has
a play spell of any length, must take
it when the seasons work is over and
the crops housed or sold. The farm

visit the old home in New England or
Canada, and that winter is, aftee&ll,
the best time for social pleasures.
There are long evenings, when the
sleighride, the appleparing, the coun-
try ball, are in their glory, and have
charms that completely overshadow
all that can be had by chasing pleas
ure at heated summer resorts. When
getting your ticket for your winter
visit east, ask the agent to send you

Remaenhar 4ha Pnov,

While we declaim against the Twin
Cities for gobling up every thing
worth having, we must commend
them for their good acts. The cry
from n. Oak. has come down for re-
lief for their poverty stricken people.
and the cities are moving through
their local board in responce to that
cry. why should we leave all this
work to the cities. In this part of
the country we never had such an
abdndent crop. The greatest trouble
with farmers is, to find granery room.
While we are unable to say at pres
emit, anything about free transporta.
ton, we presume the Manitoba road
would willingly ship all relief goods
free. Could not a car load of wheat
be contributed by the farmers of
Stevens county. to relieve the distress
of their brethren. If some intluen-
tial farmer or farmers would take
hand in this matter, we have faith
enough to believe that farmers would
bring in their wheat on any set day.
And the people of Morris will do
their share. This cly don't come
from strangers at a distance, but from
as near home as can come. Their
crops were all lost, some of them have
not food enough for one week, and
how are they to pass through a rigor-
Gus winter. They are our friends
and neighbors. What do the people
of Stevens county say to this appeal.
While the Lord has prospered you
with abundance. do not forget the
Lords poor, who are not poor through
any fault of their own.

A couple of months ago we spoke
of the smile the farmers faces wore,
when a fine crop is assured to them,
and no wonder they would smile.
The prospect of getting from under
the enormous load of machine. and
other notes, under which they have
been staggering for years. was cause
for graduation, and now it comes the
turn of merchants to smile. The far
mers have not only paid their ma
chine notes, but many of them have
also paid their store bills, thereby en-
aiding the merchants to meet their
Indebtedness. A given amount of
money. kept in circulation, pays a
great many debts. The merchants
are made twice happy, for the far
mers have not only paid their back
bills, but are able to lay in a supply

and observation, I'VE can say the trade

Signs of the Lines.

The very good price of wheat last
year, and the enormous crop this
year, has caused more real estate to
change hands in this county this sea-
son, than in long time past. There
is also more inquiries for land than
usual. These facts have their effect
on farmers, in stiffening them up for
higher prices. The Stevens county
farmer who would sell his farm for
what land has been slaughtered at
heretofore, would be little short of
imbecile, unless he intended to give
up farming. some of the eastern
states are becoming depOpuiated, the
trend is westward, and Minnesota
proves to be the banner state, for ag-
riculture and stock raising. Every
year in the near future, will see land
advancing in price. We want to see
home seekers coming here, but we
don't want to see any of our present
farmers selling out, tho they may
think they are getting a good price.
We have large lot of land in the
hands of spectators and railroad
companies, that can yet be bought
cheap, but we firmly believe that this
is the last chance to get cheap land in
this county. Strangers coming here
agents to show, and sell to them, with
good, assured titles. From present
appearance, the population of this
county will double what it now is in
a short time, land those who come first
will bless their stars. later on.
