erection of brick block 66x110 feet, two

divided into three stores and the second

of 500. Such venture would certainly
prove profitable as parties have already
asked for refusal of two of the stores and
the hall would be a public convenience.
The block will be the property of stock

the drawings, which show fine block. The
west side is certainly booming, with decided

Stevens coounty has its fair share
of representatives of the numerous
Smith family. We do nat knaw how
many there are. hut a very respecta'
BILE number, anyhow.
According to latest reports there are
nine townships in the United States
named after .Mfr. Smith. Besides these
there are FIVE places named Smith.
Of places having Smith as d prefix
there are 100.
Smithville is the most popular of
these names, there being 81 Smith,
villa's in this little world.
Next comes Smithfield, of which
there are 81.
There are three Smith landings and
three Smith ferries to bring the Smiths
to the landings.
Smith has one basin, where doubt,
less he washes himself, and it is on the
Champlain canal, in New York state.
Smith has three islands, one grove,
two cross roads, one crossing, Ave
creeks and q cove. two pnrta and a
point, twelve mills, one valley. three
stations and one river, one ranch, one

Lightnins Kills Birds.


A singular story is told by head
gamekeeper in Prussian Silesia. A few
weeks ago one of his under keepers
found in the tract of shooting country
under his charge a covey of partridges,
two old birds and fifteen young ones, all
lying dead. They were huddled up
close together within the space Of q
square yard, but were too decomposed
to show any reliable signs Of the cause
OF their death. Poison was ut first sus-
pected, as the spot was close to some
peasants allotment, but careful ex-
animation of the ground revealed the
fact that the birds had been struck by
lightning. The fash had struck little
mound short distance away. and then
coursed along the ground, and the grass
surrounding the spot where the par
Eidges lay had burned and yellow-ap-

autumn were we to be deprived now Of
this perfect bit of natural decoration.
And another floral idea has also arrived
from Japan. one which bids fair to rival
the more fragile creations of the green
house, Dwarfed trees, strange, stunted,
gnome like plants, set in the artistic
porcelain pots of that land of art and
invention, will be used for dinner table
and house decoration. Already they
are employing them in London houses,
and no doubt in time they viii appear
here, superseding the familiar rubber
plants and palm, and giving that one
note of vernal oddity SO priced by the

Tight Money Market.

That "money is tight" there can bt
no doubt. Not only is it slight" in this
particular locality, but from the best
information obtainable we are led tc
believe that such is the case in yari.
Gus other localities in the country.
i We are fully aware of the fact that
some of the city papers labor to make
it appear that there is healthy state
OF trade throughout the country and
that money is obtainable any where on
good security and at reasonable rates.
Such may be the case in the cities, but
it is not so in any farming community
in Minnesota.
Time was until quite recently when
eastern investors were ready and anx.
ious to loan money in Minnesota on
farm mortgages. But that time is
past.
One loan and real estate agency
here in Morris tells us that they cannot
get cent of money to loan on farm
mortgages. They say that they have
applications for money almost every
day in the week, the very best securi-
ty on farming lands being offered, but
they cannot supply the demand.
One firm here informs us that they
have had applications from farmers
within few weeks past for $50,000,
but they could not accommodate one
of them.
Why does this state of things exist.
do you ask? The following extract
from letter just received by one of
our loan agencies from prominent
mortgage loan agency Of Minneapolis
who handle eastern capital--will ex-
plain why money cannot be obtained |
by farmers on farm mortgages:
Until further notice do not make any |
more farm loans, but take mortgages on |
city property only, and that when it is
improved. When any farm mortgage
natures collect it. No more renewals
to farm mortgages. This Farmers Alli-
ance does not inspire confidence for
making any more loans in that direc-
ton"
City papers to the contrary notwith-
standing, the stringency in the money
market still continues and increases.
Throughout the northwest it is almost
impossible to borrow money at any
rate. The money is not here and can
not be had. What farmers need is a
larger supply of available money, not
a lower rate of interest. With suf-
ficient supply, the lower rate will come
without any legislation.

Y
1t will be seen by the proceedings
of the Stevens County Alliance meet.
ing, held last Monday, that the ques.
tion of starting an Alliance news
paper in Stevens county" Is being ag-
itated. That's all right. There is no
reason why the Alliance party of this
county should not have an organ as
we'll as the Republican and Demo
cratic parties. But it strikes us that
the Alliance party Of Stevens county
has hardly achieved such immense
proportions as to need two organs.
1t was not long ago that our able con-
temporary over on Pacific avenue de-
clared with great flourish of trum-
pets that his paper was the ''ofiicial
organ of the Alliance party of Stevens
county," Now if that declaration was
true, what's the necessity Of starting
another Alliance organ in Stevens
county! Will some Alliance brother
please inform us!
