A bee tree containing forty pounds

Case & Grant are having literally
rocky time with the village we'll. They
encountered big boulder. and after
tackling it successfully with dynamite,
encountered a strata of sand of un-
known depth, through which their
progress is necessarily slow.
Three 80-acre tracts in section IS,

Machine agents indulged in little
rivalry last week of the kind that
pleases We granger. For time 500
would buy binder of the same kind
that sold for $3.50 last year. That looks
as though the tariff on farm machinery
didn't bear down ON purchasers very
hard.
AS had been predicted, the attorneys
for William Rose followed right in
the footsteps of those for Holden. A

Annual school meetings will be held
throughout the state next Saturday

ton to be elected.
Mrs. Annie Carr, an invalid who
came to this village from Manchester,
Ohio, about month ago, in the hope
of benetitting her health, died quite

infant to mourn her demise. The fun
eral occurred Tuesday afternoon.
Fourteen cars of gravel per day is
being put where it will do the most
good on the Redwood branch, says
the Sleepy Eye Dispatch. After bal
lasting the road bed and getting it in
first-class shape we understand that
new steel will be laid. There's moth
ing too good for that line and we know
the Redwood people would appreciate
change of coaches-if the company
would only put on good one. Right
you are, Mr.. Dispatch!
E. Bedal, of Walnut Grove who
knows wheat" about as we'll as any
man in the county, is not so sangline
about a big crop of wheat as some
other observers. He is reporting to
Van Dusen headquarters that owing
to rust in many fields the crop is like
ly to fall short of last year, both in
quantity and quality. Such reports
have a better effect on the markets
than those of rose-c olored hue, and
while we hope for better results, the
possibility of damage to our leading
crop should not be concealed.
