Emmons County record. [volume] (Williamsport, D.T. [i.e. N.D.]) 1884-current, 1897-02-05

more reports have been published in the
Winona Times. The people in each dis.
trict have as much right to know the con-
dition Of their district, through the pub
lished annual report of their treasurer, as
the people of the county, as whole.
have to know the financial standing of
the county. through the reports pub
lished quarterly by the auditor and treas.
urer. II the line of district runs near
cr to Wllllamsport than to Winona, the
law requires that the treasurer publish
his report In the Record. If the line runs
nearer to Winona than to Williamsport,
then legal publication can be made only
in the Times.
By the way, we want some money, and
we want it badly. There is large num-
ber who owe US. but. because the amount
Is insignificant, its payment is over
looked or neglected. But these small
sums are much more serious matter to
the country publisher than they are to
his city brother. for the reason that the
latter depends more upon advertisements
than upon circulation profits to run his
business and meet his bills. Most any
body ls liable to overlook year or two's
subscription account But there is an
other class of about q score who have ta-
ken the paper for from five to ten years
without paying for 1t. Most Of them are
non residents, and. as they are not COM
PEELED to meet and look in the face the
man whom thew are dead beating, they
will not pay. They give no attention to
the statements sent them, and they will
not even write us for fresh stand of or
give us plausible ghost-story as to the
reason for their failure to pay. But it 30
! happens that most of these absent and
absent-mindcd folks have real property
in Emmons county. A judgment against
man will bother him considerably in
case he wants to sell. And there's going
to be some of 'em obtained--rght soon.

The tall griuding-mill tower Is in place
some rs or 100 yards southeast of Mr..
Rush's hotel building. That tower has q.
history. 1t was put up by Judge Hare in
Bismarck ten or II dozen ycers ago. 1t
stood on the south side of Main street,
almost opposite the judges justice-shop
and place of business, between Fifth and
Sixth streets. It., with the Halliday
! windmill, was purchased from Mr.. Hare
by the late Thomas Bottomley, and was
erected by the Ia ter on his homestead
northeast Of William sport Afterward,
owing to II defective bolt, the Halliday
wheel was blown to pieces, and Mr. Bot
tomley did not replace it. A year ago
the writer bought the Bottomley build
ings the tower, with the mill shafung
and gearing. being part Of the plunder.
The tower and buildings we're moved to
the Record rshch aud a new 14-foot
Goodhue mill bought and put up. Re-
Gently the outfit was sold to Mr.. Rush.
The tower was taken to pieces by Frank
Jaszkowiak' and new timbers have re-
placed those that were partially decayed.
Customers bringing grain dump the same
through a trap-door IN the floor into a
| pit that holds a wagOn-lOad. An eleva-
tor carries it up and into hopper over
head. The grinding-ml does splendid
work. There is a also q twO-hole corn
shelter that will shell your load in
hurry. Now that the mill is more CEN
trally located, it will prove great con-
venience to the people of the nelghbor-
| hood,
