Wilson and Taxes.

! ! EDITOR TRIBuNE:-In the last issue
of The sun, my attention was directed
to an article, to which Chas, Wilson's
name was affixed. This is nothing un
usual, however, as it is a common occur
rance for his name to be seen in the
| columns of that paper.
am at loss to know whether the
well known name appears there because
the editor is proud of it, or whether Mr..
w is particularly fond of seeing his
name in print Perhaps it is for q free
advertisement.
AT any rate, this is not the object of
my letter, and as my time is very limited,
and for fear will not earn my 100000
salary, will proceed.
l wish to inform the "patient tax pay
ing public" that in the communication
already referred to, there is not state
ment relative to county business, that
can be verified by the writer.
In the first place he states, he "has
just paid his taxes on what little pro-
perty he owns in Minnesota, mostly az
Stevens county, amounting in all to the
very little sum of $996.14.
Now l will defy him to produce re-
ceipts dated in 1890 for taxes paid in this
county for more than the following
amount.

Farmers Institutes.

! The TRIBUNE has On several occa-
sions expressed the opinion that
farmers Institutes, if properly con-
ducted, would prove of great benefit
to every man engaged in agriculture.
This is generally acknowledged by
farmers, especially those who have
attended these institutes, and it is
hoped that Stevens county farmers
| will take steps to have an institute in
their county, which all admit is one
of the best counties i'll the state. The
Northwestern Agrlculturist has an
article in relation to farmers insti-
tutes, from which we quote the fol-
lowing: "Those who have attended
the Farmers institutes in former sea-
sons will not need urging to be on
hand thus winter. Intelligent farm
ers, who wish to keep in the front
rank in their calling, appreciate the
opportunity to acquire practical
knowledge afforded by this itinerant
school and experience meeting. Any
careful observer will notice change
for the better every season, in a
neighborhood where an institute has
been held. There is something about
the institute and Its peculiar methods
of exchanging experiences that sets
men to thinking. The many useful
and practical suggestions made and
experience reported, both as to sue
| cess and failure, contain valuable les
sons which are applied in practice on
| the farm. The institute workers are
generally practical men, who have
held the pillow themselves, and who
know how the best laid plans and the
hardest labors are sometimes made OF
no effect by the freaks of old Dame
| Nature who sends storms and
droughts and cold aud heat, some.
times when most disastrous to the
growing crops. The experienced IN
stitute teachers are conscious that
they don't know it all, AID have theii
eyes and ears open to learn, aud what
/ they learn in holding one institute
they store up for the benefit of others
whicii follow, so that their talks are
after all, but little more than col.
lection OF the experiences of practical
farmers, who have been working
right along the line of the men and
women who make up each audience
1t is to be hoped that the calls for in.
stitute work will be SO loud that one
corps of workers will not be sufficient
next year, but that two will be needeG

To Home-SeekeTs.

Why seek for home in the unset
tied regions of the "far west" many
hundreds of miles from market, where
family supplies are dear and the pro-
ducts of the farm wiz hardly pay the
expense of marketing. while there are
hundreds of thousands of acres Of
rich prairie land in Minnesota that
have never been scratched with q
pillow. and which can be mad for $5 to
$40 and $12 an acre?
There is plenty of room for at least
half million more people to make a
good living and comfortable homes on
the rich and productive lands here in
Minnesota, surrounded by all the
comforts of life. Why not, then, take
advantage of these unrivaled induce
ments? And we may add, that no
county in the state offers greater in
ducements to the home-seeker-espe
cially if he desires to engage in farm
ing-than our own county of Stevens.

The g. A. r. Camp Fire.


| A TRIBUNE reporter dropped h'le
the Grand Army hall last Friday cv'
ening to see the old vets enjoy then
camp fire.
There was no formal display in the
| set phrase of speech. All We're enjoy
ing themselves; even the little ones
were romping to their hearts content,
| while the men, whose memory RECORD
hard fought battles, stood around IN
little groups rehearsing the story OF
their sanguinary career, and their
good wives, with glow of admira-
ton, looked on approvingly, not for
getting the part they themselves had
taken IN those scenes and events,
which make up the history of great
nation. To an observer of human ma
ture here was II picture truly TO he al
mired. No ostentation, no egotistlcal
display of personal heroisln, but with
crowded memories ofhlstorical events,
from personal participation, we see
here men, past the meridian of life,
enjoying the fruits of their labor, SUR
rounded by near ones, listening to the
prattle of dear ones.
The Post was declared informally
opened 10y Commander II. j. Hall,
and the reading of the minutes of the
previous meeting was dispensed with
After ''parade rest" Rev. Ellery read
the usual prayer of the Post. The
male glee club, consisting of Messrs
Griswold, Childs, Hall, Ellery and
Dye. sang u selection.
Under the head or communications
Adit. Bevans read one from Comrade
Stevens, in which he regretted his
inability, OH account Of sickness, to
attend. The communication, which
was listened to with marked atten-
ton, on motion was ordered placed OH
file by the Adjt.
After another song by the slee club
the Commander stated that al hours
social intercourse would be followed
by lunch and Il dance.
The sons of veterans entered into
the spirit of the evenings entertain
ment, emulating their sires of '61 !;
and let it be recorded that in this part
of Stevens county there is Il sufficient
number of the sons to establish fine
camp.
The music Of the evening, tor the
dance, was furnished by Watzke's
uuadriile band, and from ten to two
o'clock the young folks danced. We
say young folks, for the reason that
those of mature years seldom partici-
pated; their sentiments being voiced
in the uttterance of the wife of q bat
tle-scarred hero, when she inYolunta-
rily uttered, ooh, how foolish this is."
But she danced just the same, and she !
helped to carve the chicken, cut the |
cake, pass the same, and made herself |
generally useful. 1t Is grand thing |
to be soldiers wife-or at least it |
used to be-and it is grand thing to-
be noble hearted woman, who can
adapt herself to any state of social
life and be n lady. Stevens county |
has just such women, but they are not |
going around telling every one who
they are, and for fear of shocking
their true womanhood we will follow
their example of silence and simply |
saw that those who attended the Grand |
Army Camp Fire last Friday evening
could have observed more than one
example of this class of female excel |
lence.

| OF course, if a man let's his tax 60 de
hnquent, and it is sold for two or three
years, he must expect to pay more than
if paid when due. Al SIS
Being fortunate enough to have such
an abundance of property he should not
complain about paying few dollars
taxes. If he does not want to pay taxes
as his neighbors do, let him put his land
in the market at u reasonable figure, and
it will soon be disposed of.
Mr.. Wilson's taxes for 1889, on 1,079
14-10O acres, are $2O3.74 amounting to a
little less than 10 9-10 cents an acre.
His taxes on 81 lots in the Village of
Morris are $42.40, making total tax for
1899 on real estate of $246.14
Then he says the business of this coun-
ty is carried on at an expense of $4,000
Doubtless his intention was good in say
ing it, and probably intended to speak
only the truth; but before giving moro
such information | think he had better
get posted.
Referring to the auditors abstract of
the tax list l find the tax levy for 1889 to
be 81, 504.s5. After RENTING to the
State its percentage, paying 45 school
districts, 10 towns, villages, and in
terest on $4,000, Rail Road and Court
House bonds, there is not very large
amount left for running tlae "conuty
business"
Next, he writes, that county official
gets about So 900 year for doing little
or nothing, and that the ia nitor receives
$50 per month for waiting upon the
officers, lighting their cigars, &c.
This statement of Mr.. Wilson's Is q
deliberate falsehood, made up of better
cloth than his store contains, and l
further charge that he knew the same to
be untrue in every particular when he
made it,
The facts are, there is not county
officer in the county that gets the amount
he states nor half of it. There is not an
officer who does not work twice the time
he names, and more. The janitor re-
ceives compensation of $50 per month,
but we think the amount stated by Mr.
W. would not be any more than he is
entitled to, for the amount Of labor per-
formed. He closes by saying chang the
