GENTLEMEN:
You are about TO aaaatne the position
TO which you were elected by hand
some vote Of the Taxpayers Of this
county, who by that act showed that
they had implicit faith in your honesty,
integrity and ability to conduct the
business of the county.
II il unnecessary for me to call your
attention TO the fact that for the past
few years We have passed through a
period Of great financial depression, and
that such conditions still exist and
from present indications will continue
for an indefinite time. During all this
time, the taxpayer Of this county, no
matter what his profession or business
ID, has been compelled 70 use the utmost
economy, and many Of them have been
forced to forego many Of the necessaries
Of life In order to live at all, and during
all this time our taxes have been in
creasing and our county debt enlarged.
thereby adding an additioned burden
Of Interest to our already over burdened
people.
For several years We have been collect
ing from the people, the enormous sum
Of IN average Of about sixty thousand
dollars . year, al Of which has been ex-
pended, and In addition TO that We
have erected . bonded indebtedness Of
about one hundred thousand dollars,
and all We have 70 show for this large
expenditure, In the shape Of county
property, could be created for less than
twenty five thousand dollars.
Is 1t any wonder that the taxpayers
want to know what has become Of
this vast sum Of money" when there ID
90 little in sight to show for 1t.
II is . well known fact, that was well
established by our political orators on
the stump last fall, that the railroad
and telegraph companies Of this county
pay about two thirds Of our taxes year
| II, without adding one dollar TO thu
cost of running the county. 1t would
be easier for w to estimate the amount
we would have to pay. than it would b
to nav It, IL we had no railroads In TIN
county, yet there are quite number o.
counties Ia the state that have no rail
roads 10 help them out, and their take
are 20 higher than ours, and debt macl
less.
Gentlemen, the people believe Their

The Deadly .Hopperlo.er,~

WINONA, Mimi, July 19.-Prof Lugger.
the state entomoiogist has in operation in
the Red River Valley and in Chicago and
Pine counties four hundred "hopperdosers."
The hopperdoser is a machine about eight
feet long and two feet wide. 1t Is made on
the plan of a dustpan Of tin, and sits on
three runners. on which 1t is pulled over
the stubble by team Of horses. At the
rear Of the pan there is a trough the entire
length of the machine, in which there is an
inferior grade of coal Oil. while at the back
of the machine there is a sheet of canvass.
The grasshoppers jump into the pan, fall
into the oil. and die at once or live but u
few minutes. Each machine costs but $1O5.
They can be n ade by any tinsmith, and are
given to the farmers in grasshopper-in-
tested communities Prof. Lugger claims
that with his four hundred machines he
kills off from 500 to .2U0 bushels of grass
hopperS every day.
