Who says new wheat won't sell for
a dollar bushel? Wrong. Dwight
M. Baldwin, the genial miller of
Graceville will pay 81. a bushel for
the first load of wheat from the crop
of 1897 that is delivered at his mill in
Graceville. This offer is open to all
farmers within twenty-five miles of
GracevilIe. and the load must con-
tain not less than so nor more than
80 bushels. Some farmer at least
will get dollar a bushel for his
wheat this year,

School Board.

The school board met last Monday
afternoon and selected Miss Mable
Watson to fill the vacancy caused by
by Mrs. F. E. Smiths resignation
Miss Watson is frst-class teacher
she having taught here before and
gave perfect satifaction, and the ac-
ton of the board is generously com
mended by the community.
Another important step taken. and
one that will work to advantage, was
the combinin G of the seventh and
eighth grades of the two schools, put
ting them both in the West side
school under two teachers. This will
do away with the two grades on the
East side. It is shown where it will
work to a better advantage to the
pupils this way.
They also let the contract to the
Moore Heating company of Mime
apolis for two new furnaces, which
will be placed in the schools before
next term begins.
Mr.. Thoele, the clerk of the board
received notice from the state high
school board that they had done away
with the classification of high schools.
This places the high schools of the
state all on an equal basis. Whether
it will prove beneficial or detrimental
remains to be seen.

BROKE EVEN.
Morris and Breckenridge Teams
Divide Honor5.

The people of Morris had an oppor-
tunity to witness two as fine a games
of ball as were ever played, last We'd
nesday and Thursday between the
Wahpeton- Breckenridge and the
Morris mines. The first game resulted
in defeat for Morris by a score OF
IL to 9. 1t was a good game and in
teresting. Morris had, the best of it
up to the sixth inning. when Buxton
was replaced by Fred Hill Hills
arm was not in condition and the Wis
itors succeeded in running in six men
and taking the lead. Buxton was
put back in the box, but the game
was beyond redemption.
Thursday was an ideal day and the
crowd was some what larger than the
previous day. McQuillan of Elbow
Lake was in the box for Morris and
Andy Warner behind the bat, Hard
luck appeared to follow our boys.
They frequently found the ball, but
wherever they batted it there was a
man under it and were retired in
succession in the one-two-three order.
In the sixth inning Warner received
a foul tip on the end Of his finger,
smashing the first joint, and he went
out of the game. George Stinson
took his place and Buxton went on
first.
In the first half of the seventh Geo.
Howley went out of the game and put
Buxton on third and Warner first and
they goose-egged the visitors. In the
beginning of the eighth the fun began.
Warner was first to bat and be swiped
the hogshide for two bags notwith-
standing his finger paining him terri
bly, This was the keynote to turn
the the crowd loose, and the whoops
that rent the air would have awed a
crowd of Comaches into dismal
silence. Hill followed Warner and
he too,succeeded in sending the sphere
to grass for two bags, scoring Warner,
We want say anything about the
crowd now. The English language
is inadequate. A safe hit by McQuil-
Ian brought Hill to third, and in his
run was claimed by the visitors to have
been hit by the ball. The umpire de-
cided against them and after consid-
cradle kicking the game proceeded.
It wss plainly seen the visitors were
ratified and Morris was having it easy.
New followed and made two Dagger
close to the left foul line bringing in
two scores. The ball struck fair and
rolled out and the visitors made an
other kick and umpire, Gaffney, de-
cided against them and they left the
field. The score was to 4 in favor
of Morris, McQuillan made six Of
the leagers fan the air, while every
one of our boys found his opponent.

FARrlERS' ELEVATOR.
Fast Nearing Completion and
VIII Soon Be Ready for
Business.

The work on the farmers elevator
is being pushed with all possible speed
and in week or ten DAYS will see i
ready to handle the new crop. The
board of managers met last Saturday
afternoon and transacted business.
Mr.. Thoele, IN consequence of him be-
ing elected as general manager and
buyer, resigned as member of the
board of directors and the secretary
ship, and Frank Hanrahan was elected
on the board and E. E. Hall secretary.
The farmers of this vicinity have a
very promising outlook for this year.
Wheat is good price, crops are fine,
and they have their elevator as pro-
lection against any combine that:other-
wise could be effected and are sure of
a fair price for their grain. Their is
no doubt but what they can haul their
grain to any one of the elevators and
get the same pricethat they will get at
their own elevator, But, the ques-
ton, is would they get as good price
if they mad no elevators We are in
clined to think not. So the main
point is for the farmers to stick to-
gether for protection, ifnothing else
protect themselves against the ele-
vators forming wheat ring.
We see by the Glenwood Herald
that the Kensington Farmers Ware
house association held their annual
meeting on July 81 and declare a
dividend of 335 per cent on the par
value of the stock, besides making
some valuable Improvements on their
elevator last year. That shows that
the farmers can make success of a
cooperative elevator. Those farmers
not only got a fair price for their grain
but got dividend besides. There is
no reason why the farmers here can
not do the same thing.
There are 200 farmers here inter-
ested in this new move. Let those
200 patronize themselves their own
elevator and they have enough grain
of their own to make grand success
if they don't get bushel from out
side farmers.
We have heard several farmers de-
clare that they would haul their grain
to the farmers elevator, tho they are
in no way interested as stockholders,
and such will be found to be the case
in many instances. Tho not fnan-
cially interested in the move they are
in sympathy with it.

Sunday morning about three miles

one day last week. Sheriff Dan Kerfoot.
the prince of Idaho sheritfs. came over
from Washington county with a party
of Weiser sportsmen to hunt coyotes
with greyhounds. In the willows along
the river the dogs started a gray wolf.
and upon overtaking him II terrific fight
ensll. Just as the party of hunters rode
up to take a hand the burly gray rnffian
completed his job of whipping the whole
pack OF hounds and made his escape.
Upon examination it was found that a

bitten off by the wolf during the fracas.
Dan states that one of the pups
had the side of his head well chawed
but no foot gone. The old mother
is missing, though.

CAT PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT.

old cat had tackled the snake by the
throat in such manner as to prevent
him striking his fangs into her back,
and the snake was making n powerful
wiggle and squrm to get free. Its tail
lashed the air like whip, and its black
fargs shot in and out like threc-prongcd
lightning on small scale and in diff
fcient color. But lsitty's fur was up,
and she was using her feline agility and
quiclncss for all it was worth, so that
the snakes vcnom went out into the
air or settled in the earth. Once or
twice the RATHER got free. and swift as
an eel made straight for the little ones
but the old cat mother was too quick
for the snake. She grabbed the creature
by the back, about eight inches below
the head. and stopped its course.
Finally, as if to put stop to the
struggle, the cat changed her grip, sunk
her teeth into the round body close tc
the head. and held them there. The
rattier soon bowed his head. doubled
up his back, squiimed in intricate
curves too many TO describe, and gave
UP the fight. A few minutes later it lay
dead, the head nearly severed from the
body.
