SOCIALISM ON A FARM.
Experiment in Cooperation to he
Made Near WaterviIIe.

WATERVILLE, Mimi, Aug. III.
A Swain, of this place, has offered his
300-acre farm free for uses of a CO.
operative colony in which he will take
shares. The announcement of his pur-
pose is made this week through the
Populist organ, the Dakota Ruralist,
and it outlines the details of the plan.
1t is proposed that each colonist shah
put up $500, in return for which the
colony, which is now in process OF
organization and incorporation, states
that 1t will guarantee him the follow
ing advantages: A house, fuel, meals
at common dining-room, land, tools,
stock, machinery with which to pro-
duce, nurseries, schools, kindergartenS,
manuel training, and higher education
to the limit Of high schools; competent
medical attendance, when necessary;
insurance of comfortable maintenance
when old and in sickness; and annual
vacation, sufficient wages" to insure
clothes, furniture and whatever the
community does not provide; free
membership to children, etc. A pro-
gramme has been mapped out that is
full of allurement, and the colonist Is
assured freedom, from want and the
fear of want in the future, short
work day, less drudgery for women
than they have been accustomed to
on the farms, from which the colony
expects to draw its chief support, and,
incidentally, social and educational ad-
vantages that are very important and
valuable.
The coloniSts are to work in COM
mon, being paid wages in small sums
by the commune, but putting every
thing they earn into the common fund,
from which, after the initial payments
of $500 have been exhausted, the com
mune will derive its support and con-
tinue it's programme The lines of
work to be followed have been
all mapped out, and there are
to be farmers, poultrymen, black
smiths, storekeepers, teachers, car
penters, harness makers, laundrymen,
printers, butchers, etc. There are to
be twenty-five families in the colony,
and most of them have already been
selected and have agreed to join. The
work of putting up buildings and get
ting the community in readiness for
production will begin shortly.
The location selected for this colony
is ideal. 1t lies on the bank of beauti-
full Union lake, one of the prettiest
of Minnesota's lakes, is fifty miles
south of ST. Paul and six miles
from village, and consists of 500
acres, of which about two-thirds are
in cultivation or ready to be farmed,
the rest being equally divided between
timber and water. The soil is rich.
the land gently rolling, the country
particularly adapted for dairying and
diversified farming. The central build
ings of the colony will be put on a
timbered hill, facing the lake. The
government of the colony will be a
pure Democracy, and many of the So
cialists of the two states are interest
ing themselves in the project. with a
view to making it their one great
practical argument in favor of Social
ism in the Northwestern states. The
colonists so far selected are chiefly
American farmers from this state,
Joined by some skilled workmen. The
experiment will be fostered by the
Populists of the Northwest and watch

ports from Dyea relating to the increas-
ing rush of miners for the Klondyke
gold fields, it was necessary to send
another detachment of 100 Northwest
mounted police to the Yukon district
at once, more assistance to maintain
law and order having been urgently
demanded. A process of civil law Is
also to be established without delay. A
judge, however, cannot at present be
appointed, nor can a particular judicial
district be defined until special legis-
lation for that purpose lie obtained from
parliament at it's next session. One of
the Northwest judges therefore, will be
charged to have the Yukon district
especially under his jurisdiction, which
now extends over that portion of the
Northwest territory.

NORTHF1ELD, Mimi, Aug. 7.-Crop

to be fine one. Oats never looked
better and many fields will go sixty
bushels to the acre. Wheat has not
been injured by the chinch bugs as
much as was feared, and a crop of
twenty-five bushels to the acre is ex-
pected as the average yield. The bugs
came too late to be of much damage.

Prospects for corn were never brighter.

a banner crop will be harvested. No
threshing has been done in this vicinitv

1t quietly for six years, during which

Of my comrades, who believe in this
recognition. The recent publication Of
rebellion records by congress has
brought to light much of the evidence
upon which this and similar cases are
based. I disclaim special merit over
several other soldiers equally worthy.
The only other surviving member Of
the burning party of three, of which
1 was in command, is Andrew j. KEEL
iy, Of Crookston, who is equally worthy
of the same distinction, and 1t will be
my effort to bring the matter before
congress. He was named as one of the
burning party and therefore should
share the same recognition"

that companies will not have time,
after the case is decided, to get a
supply Of books ready for the opening

occur to you that the best test of the
work of legislature is the number of
cases brought in our courts to have its
acts declared unconstitutional? The
courts have come to be the special
protectors and guardians of corpora
