OTTER Tail county has gone into the
horse business in earnest this year, and
we believe that in FIVE yearsit will be one
of the big horse producing counties of
the northwest. Oyer twenty imported
draft stations of various kinds have been
braught into the county in the last year.
In many instances farmers have banded
together and bought the stations. 1t
looked for awhile as :hous h the trotting
horse was going to be neglected, but fin
ally syndicate was organized and !. o.
Billings sent east to buy trotting stall
lion which would be a credit to the En-
pire county. He went to Kentucky and
then to New York, where the great Kel-
logg sale wasin progress. Hefoundjust
what was wanted in the stallion Essex
and bought him at auction for $4,000.
He is 8 years old and made record OF
of 2.27A at Hartford, Conn. last fall.
The horsemen says he can beat his rec
ord, having been close second in a heat
in 2;24. Essex is a beautiful horse,
rich bronze chestnut, very trim and very
stylish. His pedigree, however, speaks
foritself. His sire was Aristos, the great
est son Of that great sire Daniel Lambert
Esssex's dam was Nelly. by Black Dia-
mond. Nelly is in the list OF great brood
mares. She has raised six colts. Essex
is the Oldest. His record is 2:27A.
Warren was her second colt; his record
is 2:2Oa. Sprague Superb was the third !,
his record is 2:29s4. The othee three are
not yet developed, but three fast colts
like these in three successive years is a
splendid record Aristos, the sire of Es-
sex, has nine in the $50 list. From this
it will be seen that Essex ought TO be-
come great sire. He will be shown at
the different fairs in Minnesota and North
Dakota, and we do not believe Fergus
Falls will have to take back seat for
any town in the northwest.-1Fergus

WHAT facilities the Minneapolis Times
has for learning the news is not known,
but it had the following item, which is
important, iftrue:
The present activity and bright pros
poets in railroad circles are causing con-
siderable gossip, and among other re-
ports here are several concerning pro-
posed building for this season. The pro-
jectors of the Duluth, Huron G Denver
are attempting to complete that line; the
Minneapolis & Pacific will construct a
branch into Sank Centre, while the Great
Northern, after completing the Wadena
& Park Rapids, will connect the line
which now ends at Eagle Bend, with the
Park Rapids. In the near future Park
Rapids and Fosston now the ends OF
branch roads, will also be connected.

Scenes of Beauty,

Have youmade up your mind that you
can afford to take week or two this
summer from business, and 20 somewhere
for pleasure trip? If you have, don't
wait till the last of July or the middle of
August, when the summer heats have
taken all the energy out of you. June is
the month for pleasure i'll travelling.
Where are you going? To the East? Did
you ever try trip along the Upper Miss
issippi-from St. Paul to Rock Island?
No? Then you have missed one of the
most enjoyable Journeys possible. No
where on our continent is more charm
ing scenery-nowhere is the country rich
err in historical associations. "The Bur-
lington" runs close beside the river from
st. Paul to Rock Island, and is incontest-
able the scenic line of the Northwest.

THERE is marked advance in the
price OF the best beef in the city markets
Several causes are given: the high price
of corn, scarcely of hay and oats and the
fact that ranchmen have been pushing
inferior cattle to the markets during the
past two or three years for the purpose
of stocking up with better grades, and
these are not yet ready for market.
Those who claim to foresee the future de-
clare that better prices for cattle will
rule during the next five years than dur
ing Exc periodin the past. This should
afford all incentive to our farmers to give
stock-raising more attention, and breed
better cattle,

MAYOR Tobey renominated Ben Rice
to be chief of police OF Sank Centre, the

of any question as to whether it be in
trinsically good or bad. 1t raises an un-
necessary contest between the executive
officer of the city and the council, whichs

but do not approve of his appointee for
the position. In this matter the prerog-
atives of the Mayor and the council are
co-ordinate-the one appoints and the
other confirms or rejects, and in exercis-
ing their respective powers neither has
any just grounds of grievance against
the other. An understanding should be
reached before the matter assumes a
spirit of hostility.

AS was to be expected, the New Orleans
grand jury finds no occasion for present
ing any indictments for the Italian lynch
ings in that city. The report of the jury
is very elaborate, embracing four col
umns of finely printed matter, reviewing
the malta outrages, the trial of the ac-
cused and their acquittal, which they
claimed was secured by bribery and in
timidation of the jury. The report
claims that the entire city would have
to be indicted, as the mob consisted of
5000 or more persons, aided and abet-
ted, directly and indirectly by every resi-
dent of New CLEANS. What effect this re-
port may have upon the diplomatic diff
culties between the United States and
Italy remains to be seen.

MAYOR Tobey's message to the city
council, printed in full in the proceedings
of the board elsewhere, is full of practi-
cal suggestions of value. The matter OF
street sprinkiing is one which bears very
unequally under the present system. A
few subscribe and the many get the bene-
fit oft. Ii the expense could be met by
a property tax the burden would be
equalized.
- But the other recommendation is one of
far more Importance. Under existing
circumstances our water-works are a
luxury for the few and burden upon all.
There is no available fund for extension
and betterment of the system, and a
direct tax for that purpose is not to be
thought of. Under the suggestion of the
Mayor those directly benefited will have
to pay for the advantages which they
enjoy, and which others would be very
glad to avail themselves of under like
conditions. To practically apply the re-
lief suggested the money realized for the
tax should be put up at auction, or bids
invited, the money to be applied for
extension on streets the residents of
which are willing to contribute the larg-
est bonus or premium for securing the
mains. Under this plan no one could
feel aggrieyed, for the highest bid would
take the available funds for such exten-
sion. Furthermore, theextensions would
bring additional revenues both from
water rental and lineal tax. If the
suggestion of the Mayor relative to FL
tering the water and extending the mains
be carried out our water-works would
soon be self-sustaining.

THE genius and enterprise of Senator
Henry Keller, of Stearns county, evident
ly knows no bounds. A few months ago
he astonished his fellow citizens of Sank
Centre by putting in one of the best and
most complete electric light plants in the
state, and yesterday he was in st. Paul
purchasing the cars and material for an
electric railway, to run from the college
to the Keller Manufacturing company's
plant, a distance of nearly two miles.
Although Sank Centre is NOT yet a very
large city, it is a irving one, and rail-
road centre ofsome magnitude. This year
Senator Keller claims two more lines will
enter it, the 500 and the Duluth Huron
and Denver. Having the power at hand,
it did not take the ingenious Stearns
county statesman long to figure out that
the cost of an electric railway could be
made very small, and SO, in it goes, much
to the advantage of Sank Centre. If
every city in the state had a half dozen,
or even one. public-spirIted citizen like
Senator Keller, Minnesota would pros
per as no other state, even in boom times,
ever did. The Sank Centre electric line
will be running in less than a month,
and that lively town will have genuine
boom Tor the new state capitol on about
the same time.-[Globe.
The above would indicate that Senator
Keller had been interviewed at time
when he was in an optimistic mood.
