Another Mill to Saw Ties.

tzs Albert and William Mike, Of
iSwanville town, have purchased a
saw mill and will establish it on
their farm in the northeast part OF
the town, about three miles from
the Flensberg siding. The mill will
be ready for work early in January,
and they are already assured OF
enough logs to keep the mill busy
during the winter. They will saw
soft and hardwood lumber, but they
sexpect the bulk of their work will be
in railroad ties. In that locality a
large part of the small tie timber
has been cut in former years. but the
largest and best tie timber still re-
mains, as it was unprof1table TO
ahew the ties from the larger trees,
and there was no saw mill handy.
Now with q saw mill near the tim
her, the logs will be hauled in, ana
1 sawed into ties. A great many ties
will be marketed this year. and the
cash receipts from this source Will
bring a large amount OF money to
HHour timber farmers, and the work
will employ many laborers and
teams,

H. e, RaWSOn Dead.

The Fergus Falls Journal of D. c.
10 contains an account Of the death
of H. E. Ra WsOn, who. it will he re-
membered had law office in this
city for a short time couple OF
years ago. The journal says: "A.
z. Wea therston received a telegram
from Peter J. Hughes OF West Supe-
rior. this morning, stating that II. +.
Rawsun had just died ut the st.
Luke's Hospital in Duluth. 1t was
known there that he was i'll of what
was supposed to be typhoid fever
and his friends feared tina he was in
no condition to stand an attack Of
that dreaded disease. Mr.. RawsOn
was about as years OF age and leaves
q wife and three children, the young
est a baby but a few months old.
He came to Fergus Falls in 1881 and
and occupied quite prominent po-
sitiOn at the bar. He was II partner
OF Judge Bax ter for some time and
later a member of the firm of Rawson
& Houpt. In 1888 he was elected
mayor of the city over II. G. Leon
ard but was succeeded by j. w. Earl.
In 1886 he was the Democratic candi-
date for state senator but was beat
Ell badly although his campaign was
a famous one. He afterwards be-
came one OF the Populist' leaders
here and stumped the county in 1894
for that party. For the past few
years he has resided at West Supe-
rior. He married Miss Nettie Belmat
who survives him with three chill
dreu.
Mr.. Rawson was an attorney OF
much ability, but drank to excess. 1t
is understood that of late years he
has drank very little, but his cohsti-
tuition was in no shape to stand a
severe siege OF fever.'

I cRsa COUNTY FIGHT.
The Effort to attach a Few
\ Townshipn to Crow Wing
is Getting Interesting.

The Grow Wing. and Cass county
people are havinga very interesting
time over the effort to detach seven.
teen townships from Cass county and
attach them to Crow Wing. The
following from Thursdays Pioneer
Press will show the latest features
5sof the contest: u b ,Hs5 "a t z
The Cass county authorities are
making a desperate effort to pre- cent
Grow WINK county from annexing
the seventeen townships It has pro.
posed ia take from the. unorganized
territory Ut Cass. Apprehending
that The commission. consisting q
Gov. Clough, state Auditor Dunn
and Secretary Of State Berg, luay
approve the petition asking for the
I, annexation and that the Townships
will be taken in spite Of their efforts,
it "a .underst God that the Cass county
officials will take the controversy to
the supreme court on a question Of
Gthe constitutionality Of the law. ~:
The Lass county people claim
Sthat the law providing for the an
snexa ton OF territory from morgan
lied to organized counties is contrary
10 the constitution Of the United
States, which provides that in the
changing OF boundary lines OF states,
aste., such changes shall be made by
apnpular and majority vote OF the
people who live In the district
affected. ~. r &..' $50, 1
Acting on this Interpretation. Of
the constitution Of the United States,
aitis understood that the authorities
of C,ass county will bring an action
id restitution in the supreme court
stocompel Hubbard county TO trans
4 fer to Cass the twelve townships an
nexed to Hubbard last spring from
%Cass. The claim will he made chat
the law is unconstitutional. and on
a. the result of the supreme courts
action in the matter will rest the
action OF the com mission in annexing
the seventeen townships of Cass to
Grow Wing.
's.5. Following the publication in the
4 Pioneer Press yesterday morning OF
the fact that the commission in
tended appointing Il competent per-
1 son to Investigate and report on the
actual. number Of legal voters resi-
dent'in the seeding townships OF
Cass, the office of State Auditor
Dunn was overrun yesterday, not
\ only withapplicants for the position,
but with representatives OF the two
factions, seeking, to influence the
commission in the appointments OF
the. official. Representative A. f.
Ferris was down from Brainerd, and
Commissioner Bryant was in TO rep
resent the Cass county people.
State Auditor Dunn gave them
little satisfaction, and while they
were here the contemplated legal
phase OF the situation leaked out.
This will entangle Hubbard county
in the imbroglio, and it is UNDER
stood that the inhabitants Of the
twelve townships annexed to Hub
bard from Cass will make a strong
fight to stay where they are. From
present indicat tons there will be a
merry triangular war on in those
three counties before long, with the
odds against Cass.

Redistricting the County.


The prediction is made that the
county commissioners will redistrict
the county into new commissioner
districts before the next election. The
districts have become entirely out "f
proportion, owing to rapid Develop
ment of parts Of the county. While
the city now has three towns with
it to form one district, it alone has
more population than fairly. belongs
to one.
The suggestion of the Herald that
the Republicans (who form Il major
ity of the bOardD will look after their
interests, is q very fair foundation
for a. kick on whatever is done, hut
any effort to gain a party advantage
by redistricting would be useless.
Party lines cut little figure in com
missioner cleo tiuns. as has been fully
demonstrated in Morrison county.
For many years Mark Kobe. a Dem
Ocrat, was elected from the south
district of the county. consisting OF
Bellevue, Two Rivers and Elm Dale,
although the district was at all times
Republican. At the present time Mr..
Hennen is the commissioner from
the district composed of Pierg. Bun.
Buchanan and Morrill,; he is n Re-.
publican, and the district il over
whelmingly Democratic. Dan Sheedy,
the only Democrat on the board.
comes from a strong Republican dis
trict. The party would gain nothing
by making irregular districts to OBJ
tain apparently Republican ones.
p. II. Newman came home Satur
day from Iowa with Il carload
of heavy horses. Mr. Newman
has been away about a week, and
has found it difficult to purchase
horses heavy enough for the lumber
woods and other draught purposes
at figures that would enable him to
realize much for his work. He first
made inquiries at the Twin City
markets, and found that horses that
could have been purchased last SUN
n,er for about $3.50 apiere are now
finding a ready market at $500. The
demand for horses has been very
poor for the last several years, and
this fact has forced a large number
OF the extensive breeders to 81 out
of the business. Farmers. also,
have done but Il small amount OF
breeding in the last few years, and
this, together with the large percent
age of horses that die every year, is
probably the only way to account
for their scarcity and the rise in
the prices now being paid for them.
While it il almost out OF the ques-
ton to ever again get the fancy
prices of former years for horses OF
neatly every kind, heavy draught
horses will generally bring good
prices in locality like this, where
extensive logging operations are
carried on in the winter. and heavy
farm work and saw mills require
them in the summer Farmers in
this locality would better n OF entirely
cease breeding heavy horses, for they
are liable to find themselves in the
same predicament they were in last
wear in the matter Of beef cattle,
when the prices advanced, with
scarcely o hoof on hand with which
to take advantage of the advance in
the market, and p large amount Of
feed on hand for which there was no
sale.
