Farmers depend upon Protective
Tariff just as surely as does the pros
perity Of every other American produ-
Ger The remedy for agricultural de-
precision is an enlargement Of the
market for agricultural products. In
order to secure q larger market for agri-
cultural products we must make the
home market large and increase she
home demand. The only way to do
that IS by building up our manufactures
by increasing the number Of our indus
trial plants by giving employment to all
idle workingmen. BY creating such q
demand for labor through the opening
up of new industries, that the increased
number Of consumers viii afford q
market for all the farmers products
This is the best way to secure prosperity
to the farmers and the enactment Of
Protective Tariff law will benefit u,
class Of workers more than it vii
benefit the farmers.

JOHN SLOAN RELEASED.
Liberated From Saltwater After
Serving Four Years for
Murder.

John Sloan. an Indian half-breed,
who was born and raised in this
locality, was liberated from the
state prison at saltwater on
Wednesday, having served out a
sentence of four years for wife-mur-
der. The crime was committed at
White Earth about five years ago,
where Sloan was living with his
wife. Both Sloan and the woman
had been drinking, and the woman
attacked John with an axe. She
was very savage, and in order to
subdue her her husband choked her.
He gave her too severe correcting,
and when he released his hold upon
her throat she was dead. Sloan
was arrested and tried, and was
to Jail for four years, and
to pay a fine of $500. When his time
expired he made affidavit that he
could not pay the fine, and was re-
leased.
A number of local citizens testified
to Sloan's good character during his
trial, and those who knew his wife
believed his story of self defense was
we'll founded.

RoYAl7oN DAM GONE. !:
1t Went Out Yesterday and Half
of Wilson's Logs Went
With it. I
.%a
OTHER DAMAGE DONE ON PLATTE.
The GraVelVllle Dam is the
Only One Left on That
Stream.

Despite the strenuous efforts made
by A. e. Wilson & Co. to save thci1
dam across Platte River at Royal
ton, it went out at an early hour
Thursday, and it also carried
with it about half the logs held in
the boom works at Wilson's mill.
Since last Saturday the water has
been very high, and both the bridge
and the dam at Royalton have been
threatened with destruction, but by
hard work the bridge was saved,
although it is said to be damaged to
a considerable extent and at present
is unsafe for use.
The damage at Eoyulton is not the
only work of hayoc l,y high water
on that stream. Chas. Gravel re-
turned " elnesday from Gravelville,
where. he has been watching his dam
ut that place. Mr.. Gravel arrived at
the dam in time to raise the gates
before the rush Of water caused by
the breaking OF the up-river dams
reached his property, and as there
is large amount of wasteway his
dam has wlthstood the high water.
and is now. in Mr.. Gravel's opinion,
practically safe.
Mr.. Gravel states that his is the
only dam now on Platte river. Will
sons dam went out this morning,
Muncy's dam below Rice lake, ''33:3'' 33
dam, "Nigger Hill' dam and the old
Gravel dam several miles below
Round lake at the headwaters of
Platte, went out several days ago.
Mr.. Gravel also states that the
bridge. across Platte lake. r,Onsst the
lower road to APierz is inad dangerous
condition and liable to be washed
away. The water is running around
the east end OF the bridge, and has
washed away Il large portion of the
approach, and at the west end. the
surface water from the hills has done
great damage to the pier. Gr.avel's
flour mill at Gravelville was struck
by lightning Tuesday and set on fire,
but by prompt work it was saved.
Mr.. Gravel estimates that it will
be necessary to expend between
$3, 600 and 1000 to get Platte river
i'll shape for driving next year, such
being the extent of the damage done
by the dams washing out.
There is but little change in the
conditions on the Mississippi here
since yesterday. The water has not
risen any. All work on the river is
stopped here for the present. No
logs are being sent down stream, as
it is feared that the down river boom
works will not hold them. The
boom works here are all right and
no danger of their breaking is an-
ticipated.
