Think Rates are too High.

Scott county farmers are kicking
like bay steers at the rates charged
them on their produce shipped over
Houck's Mo. and Ark, railway. They
sent Senator Hunter up here the other
day to see if they could not get a reduc-
ton in rates. We have not learned the
result of the Senator'S visit. but have
no doubt the management of the road
will make any concession consistent
with fairness and justice to all parties.

Our Insurance Rates.

Before we established water works
here it was argued as one of the
reasons why we should have water
works that our insurance rates would
be reduced at least one-half. Now We
have the water works-one of the best
systems in the country, but our in
surance rates still remain at the old
pick-pocket scale. Why is this? Will
some one of our local agents explain?

was therefore in error. Those who
are opposed to separation on the
grounds that the village would then
be relieved from the payment of it's

1t will be era tifying to the patrons
of our schools and to the friends OF
Fred l.. Hoffman and Cbas. Huff,
recent graduates Of our high school,
to learn that they have taken their
places as freshmen in the state
university. Both of the young men
entered without examination, their
graduation from our high school be-
ing deemed sufficient evidence Of their
preparation. In our judgment this
is the highest recognition a high
school can receive. The fact that
our graduates are being accepted,
without question, into our state
university shows that not only here
but elsewhere are the quality of orr
work and the grade of our high
school courses being recognized.
Miss Flora Terry has also been
entered into the freshman class at
Oberlin college without examination
upon the strength of her work here.
These reports are encouraging and
should serve to induce others to look
further:in educational work.

A party Of five land buyers arrived
fr.'m Paxton, ILL.,. ON Friday evening,
having been sent BY agents Of A. p.
johnson & Co., to their local agent,
81. Landau. They examined lands
In different parts Of the county on
Saturday and Sunday, and pur-
chased 440 acres In Randall town,
being well pleased with the soil and
location, and the prices and terms Of
the immigration company. The
buyers are Scandinavians, and are
farmers of experience, having been
renting farms for many ysars near
Paxton. They are all well-to-du
financially, and are wise enough to
see that thew can do better to buy
land at the low prices in this vicinity
than to continue to pay high rent in
older communities. Some OF them
have paid from SO to US an acre rent
per year for land they have been cul-
.tivating, and a demand was made
for higher rent next year. Two
sbrothe.s in the party have twenty
two horses which they have been
raising on the farm they worked the
past year. When such men are
brought to the vacant land in the
county the Immigration firm and
their agents do valuable work for
Morrison county and Little Falls.

That is to make a good paper.
Everybody feels the need of a

''To people hungering for a
newspaper, it is useless to offer

is useless to offer them anything
but the sort Of newspaper they
demand. What grocer would
think of wrapping up a sweet po-

they buy newspapers. A full rec

/. w. CLOSE IN LUCK.
He Secures "A Interest In I
Montana Gold Mine with
Indications Of Great
X. X .s" Wealth. MI

| j. w. Close returned Saturday
evening from Helena, Mont, where
he has been the past two weeks.
Mr.. Closes trip to Montana was In
answer to- telegram from his
brOther-in-law, who recently dis,
covered what promises to be one Of
richest gold mines in Montana. Mr..
Close has secured an interest in the
mine, which is situated about thirty
miles from Helena. r. l#
There seems to be little doubt but
that the mine IS indeed u bonanza,
as Mr.. Close has made all possible
tests and the results are most graft
flying. Ak. .%.#
Mr.. Close brought some specimens
of ore with him, which he had as
sayed, and the assays. range from
$40 to $4,000 a ton in gold and sew
eral dollars in silver. Mr.. Close and
his brother-in-law, Mr.. Walker, have
six claims comprising about sixty.
acres. The ore is free milling
and can be treated with a good
profit even at their lowest assay.
The ore is found very close to the
surface, which is also great adj
vantage in handling. Several Hell
ena mining experts have visited the
mine and all agree that it is one OF
the finest prospects ever discovered
in Montana. Some Helena capital
lists have offered to put a hundred
stamp mill in for q half interest in
the mine, but Alessrs. Close & Walker
are confident that they can get a
better offer and are bound to hold a
controlling interest.
Mr.. Close also brought back some
gold nuggets from some placer dig
gings owned by Mr.. Walker and
himself. They have about five acres
OF placer ground and it has yielded
some very fine nuggets. Mr.. Close
showed us some four or five nuggets
which in the aggregate were worth
about 800, one being worth a few
cents over $50. The result of about
six hours work on the placer mine,
and the dirt had to be carried nearly
half a mile to he washed, was some
thing over $21. TIE placer alone
seems to be a fortune to it's owners.
This sounds so strange and large IA
to appear something like afairy tale.
but we have seen and handled the
nuggets, and know they are
genuine, and also think
that the Z quartz mine will
prove. bonanza. Mr.. Close seems
confident that he has struck it this
time, and should it pan opt one
quarter OF their anticipatiOns,
Messrs. Close and Walker will be
wealthy men.

It appears that Engineer Haines,
who is h cid to blame for the Great
Northern wreck, received two
orders at the same time-one to
meet the other train at Ashby,
and one to meet it at Melby. As
the orders are on very thin paper
it is not believed that he noticed
the one ordering him to stop at
Melby. The coroner's jury
criticise the company for having
the trains meet at sidings where
there are no telegraph Offices.
