western Counties Are Taking Up
the Industry.
That the western and northwestern
portions of the state are making a
great advance in dairying, in which the
supremacy of Southeastern Minnesota
has been conceded is shown by figures
taken from the recent returns of the
county boards of equalization.
In the southeastern section but few
counties show an increase in the num-
Der of COWS over the return made in
1896 AS usual, Freeborn county heads
the list with an increase of but 296
COWS over the number returned In 1896
Blue Earth gains 916, and Faribault,
746. Winona, Olmsted, Houston, Fill
more, Goodhue, Rice, LIE Sueur, and
Dakota counties show decrease.
In the western section every county
shows a substantial increase. The
total for the group is 1889, and Brown
county leads her sisters by a gain of
790; Martin, 713; Carver, $780, and jack
son, 52S Renville county leads this
group with 12.O4S, and Mcleod. 11,129.
In the northwestern group the same
conditions prevail. Only four counties
report a loss, and then but a small
decrease Otter Tail county gained 730,
and Kandiyohi, 6S7. Otter Tail county
heads the list with 1874; Polk county,
II .9S1, and Kandiyohi, 11,176.
In the central group Meeker county
gains COS; Stearns, 525; Wright, 946.
Stearns county heads the list with 49,,
644 and Hennepin comes next with
1857. Last year Cook county had no
cows. and this year reports Is.
The ten counties in the state report
ing the greatest number of cows within
their borders are: Freedom, Elsa;
Otter Tail, 1874; Stearns, 1854; Good
hue, 15,O36; Fillmore, 1929; Steele. 49,
297; Hennepin, 1887; Faribault, 13, 139;

SllnnOrt of the nniAn

cago platform, he was unworthy of the
support of the union.
Scott Macdonald said that the union
wanted none of the gold bugs money
to help them conduct their campaign.
Mr.. ToWnley then explained that he
didn't love the gold bug any better
than they did, but his money would
come in mighty convenient on a pinch,
to help along the good work; also, that
he understood all Democrats to favor a
plan of uniting on the city campaign
without much reference to the 16 to
plank; he had heard that at Fourth
ward meeting of silver Democrats
several evenings ago, a gold Democrat
had been elected chairman.
J. L. CoVington arose to explain
about that meeting He had supposed
that all who were in attendance at it
and he was one-were silverites, but
in some unaccountable way, gold
man, DR.. Williams, had slipped into
the chair.
Remarks were made by several
others and peace was restored. The
motion was finally carried that the
executive committee of the union con-
fer with the city and county Demo-
cratic and Populist committee. see how
they stood on the financial plank and
outline with them the best procedure
to secure a full naturalization.
The following resolution was adopt
ed unanimously by rising vote:

AFTER BUTTS JOB.
Gov. C1OuGh Beset by Hungry Still
water Politicians.

On top Of all the new capitol dis
cussion Gov. Clough is beset by still
more trouble. Probate Judge Butts, Of
Washington county, died Saturday,
and already there are number of can
didates for his place who are hurrying
around for the coveted appointment
which the governor will be called upon
to make in a very few days. F. T.
Wilson, who was very active in the
sound money campaign last fall, is one
Of the candidates, while E. J. Spindle,
secretary of the Republican commit
tee, would also like to be installed on
the bench. o. E. Lee, another Still
water lawyer. who has never been
completely happy since he enjoyed a
term as county attorney, is third one
who wants to taste the apple of patron
age again. F. w Gail has also been
mentioned. although it may be stated
in justice to him that his candidacy is
not possessed of some of the elements
of unseemly haste which have charac-
terized other seekers after the place.

ASSISTANT UNITED STATES ENGIN-
FER POWELL ON THE MISSIs-
SIPPI RESERVOIRS.
Mr.. VANcE's ABSURD TALK.
ITASCA COUNTY MAN is BADLY
MISTAKEN, ACCORDING TO THE
GOVERNMENT OFFICIAL.
LUMBERMEN APPRECIATE THEM
Statement That the Indians Have
Not Been Paid Damages Also
Incorrect.

f. L. Vance, Deer River, Itasca coun-
ty, was in the Twin Cities Saturday
lcng enough TO tell reporter for a
morning paper thai damlning Oh the
upper Mississippi is a failure. A. O.
Powell, assistant United 'ates engin-
ear IF this district, yesterday said that
Mr.. Vance's talk is absurd from begin
ming to end.
There are five dams, says Mr.. Powell,
two on the Mississippi, and one each on
Leach, Sandy and Pine rivers. They
are an essential in keeping up the STAGE
Of water. although this year there was
not much trouble from this, rs the
heavy rains of last spring Iilel ali The
streams, and the dams are partly open
now. Al present there is 4 .:5od stage
of water and a fine channel clear tG
Lake Pepin, but the floods OF the early
spring caused a bar to form near Wi
mona, and this has caused some trouble
and will be removed.
Instead of the lumbermen on the up
per Mississippi opposing the dams, they
have their hearty support, as without
them their logs couldn't be driven at
times The dams have saved the log
gers thousands of dollars.
The statement that the government
has not paid the Indians for all the loss
they have suffered from the howage of
the dams, Mr.. Powell says, is on par
with the rest of the story. In 1880 a
commission was appointed to look over
the premises and award the damages,
and this commission placed the DAM
ages at 900, which sum was set aside
to pay these claims, but was not ac-
copied Afterwards congress made an
appropriation of 100000 for this pur-
pose, which was a princely sum to pay
any damages which might arise. There
is no overflow except upon lands own
ed or controlled by the government ap-
preparation.
I'm fact" concluded Mr.. Powell,
"any one who says that the dams are
not a good thing or that they work an
injury to anybody simply is very bad
ly mistaken"

TO TEST TRANSFERS.
Christian Citizenship League Will
Beein a Suit Today.

Rev. David Morgan and W. L. VIII
son, of the Christian Citizenship
league, who are making the crusade
against the transfer OF the saloon
licenses. will file a complaint against
Anton Nielsen today. This will be as a
test case, and will be carried to the
supreme court. County Attorney An
derson had a conference with Mr..
Morgan and told the Bethel preacher
he was ready to prosecute all cases
just as soon as the court would uphold
him; that Mr.. Morgan had better get
out an injunction against some dealer
to stop the transfer of the license, and
await the decision of the court. Mr..
Anderson was certain that all such
transfers were illegal.

is another important element at work
in the denudation of the forests, and
that is fire. The visitors to that por-
ton, through carelessness or otherwise,
have started many large confagra-
lions which have RACED acres after

region is fast becoming a barren waste

DEEDS HAVE BEEN SECURED.
Improvement at Meeker Island Will
Soon Begin.

Maj. J. D. Dushane, the United
States engineer connected with the i'm
provement at Meeker island, the build
ing of the big dam and locks, reports
that the deeds to all the property have
now been secured and the titles are
being looked up, so that the deeds will
be filed within a few days. The work
on the improvement will be commenced
next spring.
The dam will cost about $1,O00OOO
and will not be completed for several
years; in fact the present appropria-
ton is only for $1S0000. The dam will
be sixteen feet high and will be pro-
vided with two locks so that vessels
can pass up, and there will be a good
stage of water for navigation to Min
neapolis. The government has now Sc
cured all the f1owage rights.

ASSOCIATED CHARITIES.
Trustees Select Officers for the
Friendly YisitOrs' Conferences.

FF1enUty conferences
At the meeting of the board Of trus-
tees of the Associated Charities, held in
their rooms in the Globe building, yes
terday, the following officers were ap-
pointed for the ensuing year: PreSi-
dent of the first conference of friendly
visitors, Mrs. c. G. Titcomb; vice pres
ident, Mrs S. G. Arnold; second con-
ference president, Miss Clara Som
mers; vice president, Mrs. Henry
Smith, third conference, president
Mrs C. H. Higbee; vice president, Mrs
c. D. Hayes. Messrs. Hart and jack
son were appointed to arrange for the
annual meeting to be held Oct. II. Sec
rotary Jackson's report was in part as
follows:
During August we asked to investigate
81 applications; 81 of these were first investi-
cations. Sickness was the most prominent
cause Of applications, another CHIEF cause was
need of institutional care for the young or the
defective These latter Investigations must be
made with especial care, because much every
way is involved for the applicant and much
expenditure is, on the average involved for
the institution.
Standing as we do for the personal element
in charity, endeavor to help the unfortu-
nate one to know how and where he can aid
himself, and to inspire his ambition. That
reason made the st. Paul Provident fund
necessary and the collector for that fund,
on her regular rounds has proved the neces-
sity. The steadily growing number of de-
positors will increase the personal as well
as the economic benefit of the fund. De-
posits for August were s4S.O3, being the larg
est for any one month; at its close there were
net deposits of $161.84 by 307 depostors.
Our most extensive personal work is the
self-sacrificing efforts of Friendly Visitors.
Their labors continued through the summer,
and not few families have been encouraged
to prepare for winter. Nearly every sort Of
helpfuiness which one person can extend to
another has been extended and both visitor
and visited are stronger, more hopeful for the
experience There is need and promise
of material extension of Friendly visiting.

ga Scrap of Paper" the most pop Il2r
comedy in the repertoire of the KendalS,
win be the offering of the Columbia stock
Company this week. Everybody wto has
ever SCENT remembers "A Scrap of Paper"
1t is one of those clean, high-class come
dies which, while thoroughly amusing,
have a sort of moral backbone that makes
them stand out prominently on their own
basis. Unmistakahly French in the clever
ness of its construction, it has been com
pletely Anglicized by j. Palgrave Sin;p-
son, so that both its motive and morals
are thoroughly acceptable to Anglo Saxon
audiences. While its story at times rises
TO intense climaxes, there is nothing nie,o-
dramatic about these, and the spirit of
pure comedy is retained throughout. To
briefly recall the principal thread of the
plot
Louise de la Glaciere, wife OF the fierceiy
Jealous baron, has had youthful romance
with the gallant and debonnatr Prosper
Couramont in the course hich sue wrote
him a silly note, such as most schoolgirls
have been guilty of at one time or an
other But the nature of the note and the
temperament of her husband make it inn
pcrative that she recover the conlpromis-
