ing court.

F. Engdahl, of Minneapolis, arrived

formed partnership with Scharles,

Slayton Herald: Hon. j. N. Jones'
friends in Redwood county are talk
ing of again sending him to the legis-
lature. The writer is intimately ac-
quainted with MIR. Jones, and does
not hesitate in saying that he would
faithfully represent that district. He
is keen, wide-awake, and honest, and
as a legislator would not allow the
grass to grow under his feet. We dis
tinctly remember that in the 25th leg
islature Mr.. Jones was the only mem
Der of the house who succeeded in
squelching Donnelly. In short-he
shut him up. Here is hopin' you'll
get there, J. N.
w. F. Dickinson, while in St. Paul,
last week, attending a meeting of the
Board of Custodians of the Masonic
work, participated in the presentation
of bible to Col. Montfort, of the
Windsor Hotel. 1t appears that the
Custodians required bible, which is
so essential to Masonry, for reference,
and on making thorough search of
the hotel, could not find one. In the
afternoon large one came up to Col.
Montfort, with an inscription on the
fly leaf to the effect that it was pre-
sented to him by the four members
composing the Board, and calling his
attention to two passages, one from
Joshua, to the effect that "this book
of the law shall not depart out of thy
mouth, but thou shalt mediate there
in day and night, that thou mayst OBJ
serve to do according to all that is
written therein" and the other from
St. John to the effect search the
scriptures for in them ye think ye
have eternal life. And they are they
which testify of me-" 1t is seldom
that a hotel like the Windsor is shy
on the good book.
The summary of the crop bulletin
for the week ending April "a, is as
follows: The week has been too wet
and cold for rapid progress with farm
work or growth in crop vegetation.
There has been practically no advance
made in seeding throughout the Red
River Valley, or on the clayey soil of
the Central Forest Region of the State.
Many fields in these sections are COW
cred with ponds of water, and the riv-
ers and creeks have overfowed their
banks. In the Southern Prairie Re-
gion however seeding operations have
slowly advanced,and many farmers in
the Southwest portion of the State
have finished, and are now taking ad-
vantage of favorable weather to pre-
pare the land for corn, potatoes and
flax. The warm rains during the first
part of the week had very beneficial
effect on pasturage, and the sproutlng
and termination of small grain the
former is now making rapid progress,
with good prospects of being early
available for stock, while the latter al
though in good condition was checked
in upper growth by the cool weather
and frosty nights of Thursday, Friday
and Saturday. This cool weather
will undoubtedly result benefcially
as it tends to strengthen the roots, and
the warmer following weather has
caused the upward growth to be re-
newed under the most favorable con-
ditions. Winter grain not killed by the
March freeze is reported in most cases
as looking we'll. Potatoes have been
planted in few favored localities,and
some fax seeded IN Martin county, but
these crops as yet have received but
little attention, owing to the unfavor-
able weather and consequent soil con-
dition. The fields are fast turning
green and gardens are making good
