Little Falls transcript. [volume] (Little Falls, Morrison County, Minn.) 1876-1894, 1892-12-30

Pioneer Press: When any manu-
factrred commodity falls SO low in
price there is no money in making it,
the capitalists form combine and
either shut down part of the mills or
engage their machinery in other bust
ness until demand has increased,
meantime securing larger price for
the lessened output and making
themselves whole. That is the policy
for the farmer, and it does not need
an organization or combine. Let
every farmer in the Northwest give
at least a portion of his acreage to the
raising of cattle and hogs for the mar
ket. He will get more money for the
wheat that he raises with the balance
than he does now for greater crop.
and the handsome receipts from these
other interests, will be clear profit.
Diversified farming is more than ever
the true gospel for the farmer to-day.
Those who have tried it know that
there is money in it. Let us see
more of it yet in Minnesota and the
Dakotas, and the pulse of prosperity
will cease to beat high Or low with
every fluctuation of the wheat mar
ket. ~. - ,...~..

VIOLATED GAME LAWS.
From the Brainerd Dispatch.

From the Brainerd Dispatch.
The trial Of Fred Yost for fishing
with nets in Cullen lake occurre.! yes
terday before the municipal court,
and was conducted before a jury Of
twelve men. 1t was proven clearly
that Mr.. Yost had been using nets
contrary to law and that on the day
he was arrested he was III the act Of
taking his nets from the water to get
the fish from them. This ne admit:
ted but the point made OH which he
and his attorney expected to get an
acquital was that he was fishing for
white fish, when there is not fish Of
that description in the lake named.
He was catching tulipies, croppies,
pike and pickereI, and Deputy Game
Warden Paine was there when he
took them from the meshes. The
! Jury we're out but few minutes when
they returned a verdict Of guilty and
the court imposed fine Of $50 or
sixty days in the county Jail. 1t is
expected that the case will lie ap.
pealed.
This will probably be warning to
Others who are carrying on the
same business contrary to law, and il
is the intention Of the warden and
the authorities to prosecute every
violater against whom sufficient evi.
dence can be produced. The fish III
the waters Of the lakes IN this county
have been wantonly DESTROYED fo'
some years until their number has
been greatly reduced, but it seems
]now that halt will be called.

More Light for Fergus Falls.

FERGUS FALLS, Dec. 26.-Arrange:
ments are now being made for the
construction of the sixth dam across
the Red river at this point. The site
is about mile below the city, and
although it is the best of the six pow
ers here it has never been improved
because it is 50 remote from railroad
facilities. "
A new electric light plant is to be
put in here, and as distance is no dis.
advantage the plant will be located
on this lower power. 1t is expected
that about $4,000 will be expended
on the improvement Of the power, and
the construction Of the exectric plant
The dam will be put in as soon az
the ice goes out in the spring.
