state university have just returned

which it had been reported that the

They visited 80 damaged wheat

The settlers on the railroad indem-
nifty lands on Red river who have not
bought their lands and yet have re-
fused to leave them, are now being
evicted by the company. Sheriff
kivel, who has this unpleasant duty
to perform, says there are about 40
evictiOns to be made in this county.
Many OF these settlers could easily
have purchased small tracts OF land
from the company at reasonable
price a couple OF years ago, and thus
saved their homes, but by some
means or other they were induced to
fight the railroad company in the
vain hope that these lands would
eventually revert back to the govern
ment, in which case they expected to
secure them under the homestead
law. While this litigation was in
progress, most OF the land was sold
to other parties, and the original
claimants are now compelled to
leave. -

EDITOR SHEAF:- Seeding is now
nearly finished. This spring has been
very favorable for all kinds OF spring
work, with the exception OF the last
few days which have been cold and
have delayed things some. A. little
snow fell Saturday. night. Farmers
are in great hopes OF getting a good
year now, for it is long since the soil
contained 50 much moisture as it
now has. and consequently we must
have the Court House election day
in grateful remembrance for the
abundant supply of rain and snow
which it brought us last fall.
Nils Lind from Marsh Grove, a
theological student, is keeping a
parish school for norwegian children
in this town. Last Sunday he
preached a very good sermon in the
school house. Friends Of religion
speak very favorable OF him, and the
writer wishes him success in the call
ing he has chosen.
Miss Lydia Willer is teaching
school in New Folden and her sister
Amalie has secured the school in
Holt. These two young ladies are
among the best young people in Fol
dial and an honor to the community
At the last Farmers Alliance meet
ing not more than four members
were present, the president. the score

The recently disbanded legislature
is not receiving great deal of praise

cienees, otherwise it had not beel
necessary for them to issue theil

We ENCLOSE to our subscribers this
week the Minnesota Law Supplement-,
containing the general laws passed
by the last Legislature. Though the
last session in many respects was a
failure, still it did pass some good
laws, and the SHEAF believes in civ

important new law we consider to be
tile Australian election law, and We
would advise all our readers to study
itcarefully so us to become thorough
~ familiar with it's provisions.
The next election must be held under
this law. Do not destroy the supple
ment for YOU may wish to refer to it

Such beautiful weather as we have

this section Of Minnesota, There are
more prairie chickens this spring
than we have ever sseh here before at
this season of the year. We Under
stand that the mail arrives at Hum
boldt three tiihesa week from Argyle;
can hardly see the necessity Of that
unless it is to give the pOstmasters
on the route more work and no more
pay, as all country postmasters pay
is small in comparison to the work
they have to do. We therefore can
not see the use of having 3 instead
OF 2 mails a week. a country post
master does more work for the pay
he receives than almost any other
man; but then we all must have our
mail and someone will have to do
the business.
We have always advocated that
the higher the tariff the higher the
article to the consumers would be,
but last season and even now the
newspapers OF the Republican party
deny it. Does not the article Of
sugar prove it beyond a doubt, and
then what is true of one article is
true for all others; We should think
so. Now we should think it is about

We were in his place not to want it,
