The following letter appeared in the
Chatfield Independent and shows how
visitors to our county are impressed
with what they find here: mile
Laos county, as will be readily seen by
reference to map of Minnesota, is
situated little east of the center of
the State and about SO miles north
west OF Minneapolis. We drove over
from here, and after long ride we
stopped at Princeton, the county seat
OF Mile Laos county. ;s,
Princeton is a beautiful little city,
with fine houses, large brick blocks,
school houses and court house. s. The
place looked very homelike, for every
yard is filled with handsome trees.
After being very cordially received by
the genial and accommodating land
man, M. S. Rutherford, we we're
driven out to view the country sur
rounding Princeton. The land is an
undulating plain, covered here and
there with magnificent timber, and
is we'll watered and we'll, drained.
The land is very fertile and all kinds
of crops thrive. 1t produces the finest
grass we ever saw, and is great coun-
try for stock. Potatoes are wonder
full crop there and, we are told, never
fail; 200 bushels to the acre being the
average crop. Princeton is now the
greatest potato market in Minnesota
p "A farmer on new farm in Mile
Laos county has many things right on
his land that a prairie farm lacks, such
as plenty of wood, posts, rails and
building material. We found the
country rapidly settling up and new
houses and clearings are to be seen on
every hand and all seemed contented
and prosperous. ~
''Since the going in of the railroad
there has been constant stream of
immigration into that country and it
will soon be one of the most fourishing
and populous in the State. AS yet
land is not very high, and good farms
can be bought on easy terms for from
S. to SIS per acre. We each invested
in 80 acres about five miles from
Princeton and we think we got a bar
gain: We found the people pleasant
and thrifty, and were we'll received
and entertained.
ITO those looking for home where
land is cheap and good and easy to pay
for, we advise them to go to Prince
TOM Yours very truly, . :...~

A Candid Critic.

Felix Welngartner, an eminent Ger
man conductor, has uttered some inter-
esting opinions apropos Of the London
opera season, where he heard the most
perfect and perfectly trained voices in
the world singing in the Wagner music
dramas. Wagner's musical theory was
revolt from the old operatic school Of
"coloratur' singing, acrobatic vocalism
and mere tunefulness on the lyric stage.
He composed operas or music dramas to
embody through this art vehicle the
workings Of human emotion along lines
OF definite action, using all the other
arts as background and accessory, rails
ing the theory Of Gluck, his predecessor,
to a higher power. But in his disdain
Of the defects Of the old Italian school
he also ignored its beauties, particular
ly the exquisite fascination Of sensuous
charm which perfectly sung melody has
for the music lover. He taught that
mere singing was subordinate feature
Of opera, the majority of German mu-
oASAOAo OOCClIAO A4S u1SC1D1SS, 6uu CI6r.
man singers tended to care less and less
for beauty Of tone and finish of vocal
style. When Weingartner, the critic in
evidence and a strong Wagnerite, for
the first time heard the matchless sing
ing Of the Covent Garden artists, it
came on him as a delicious revelation.
He. was fain to acknowledge that after
all singing as such is the paramount
charm in the effect Of the music stage,
and thatwithout it opera is but sound
ing brass and a tinkling cymbal, y how
ever much it may embody the virtues of
faith and hope. His Judgment has the
ring Of truth. Great as was the genius
Of Wagner, genuine and farreaching as
We're many Of the art truths he en-
forced, there is a distinct reaction
against the hard extravaganza of many
Of his pet theories as matter of execu-
tive practice.

European Dislike Of the United States,

A cynical essayist once wrote very
suggestive article on 1.-THE Mutual
Hatred of Nations. . The very title puts
the theory out Of court, however wise
and witty in some Of its speculations.
Hatred in a political sense simply means
that kind of alienation which comes of
opposed interests and ideals. Individuals
may hate each other, butnations cannot
liz. any essential way, unless it be as the
temporary effect Of al terrible humilia-
ton. Yet the feeling Of divergence may
be SO strong as occasionally to have
some faint, Of the bitterness. of private
hatred. While this cannot be. said to be
true Of the feelings Of continental Euro
peans toward the United States there
has been for. some time evidence of a
growing jealousy, which Americans
sincerely deprecate. For, as people, we
are very social and fond of the good
will Of Others, however willing to criti-
else and be criticised.
The genuine root of this feeling in
wolves no question of dislike to Ameri-
cans as individuals. Foreign writer's,
to be sure, have always been easily
tempted to sheer at American character
istics. That may easily pass as the nat
ural instinct to find fault with habits
foreign to ones own environment, and
Americans themselves are not free from
it. The cause goes deeper than the per-
sonal and links itself to political and
commercial facts.
This country has always been the
fountain stream Of those complex infu-
ences which have tended to shake the
old order Of things in Europe In the
very nature Of facts she is sure to re.
main SO in increasing measure as her
strength and bigness expand. Nations
resting on ancient traditions cannot for
give this, for it presents a threat which
tugs forever at foundation stones To
this political fact are added the tre-
mendously expanding radius Of our in
dustrial energies and our keen competi-
ton with foreign producers at their very
hearthstone as we'll as in the common
field Of export. Effective reason shows
in this for European opinion and policy
arming themselves against us. The re-
cent aspect in which we have with or
without grounds come to appear to Eu-
rope as candidate for still more as
sured position has been forcing agent
in an already strong sentiment. To be
sure the continent feels similarly to-
ward England, but in our case there is
an added anger at the notion of an up
start people strong in it's own sense of
right and might moving with an assur-
ed stride in the race Of nations. It is
not magnanimous, but it is human ma.

Hawaii.
With the settlement Of the Hawaiia

Win tne settlement OF the Hawaiian
question renewed attention is fixed on
the advantages which. this beautiful
group Of islands, one Of tha~Morld's
paradises, will give us. It's value as i
half wayshouse between America and the
east invests the new possession with 4
commanding interest. The stimulus in
jected into the desire for annexation by
war conditions greatly quickehed the
result. It became the easier, to see how
big factor. it would become, whether
in the service of peace or war; to
strengthen our hands in kneading the
future. But putting aside consideration
Of the Hawaiian Islands as fulcrum
for other ends it seems eminently worth
while to have acquired them for them
selves alone.
The bureau Of statistics, in recent
publication, has given full information
about our latest territory. According to
these figures, Hawaii imports nearly ev-
erything she uses with the exception of
sugar, rice, coffee and fruits, and the
United States now supplies her with rs
per cent of these needs. Hereafter we
shall probably furnish the islands with
at least 95 per cent of their imports.
On the other hand, we have taken from
them practically all the output of their
labor, except such as is consumed at
home: It is little interesting to note
that the productions of the islands are
articles for which the United States has
sent money away from its own limits,
things Of primary and constant demand.
The, acquisition Of Hawaii still further
strengthens our. independe nce of the rest
of the world as home producer of the
things we need and feeds our sources Of
export to supply the demands Of the rest
Of the world. The salubrity of the eli
mate and the boundless fertility Of the
soil make it indisputable that ten years
of American management and energy
will quintuple its productive power, 9TH
er things being equal. The yearly jumps
for the last half decade have been quite
wonderful, but in the future we may
look for them to be exploited in 'seven
league boots. Many other things will
no doubt be introduced to diversity the
agriculture, such as tea, indigo, cacao
and vanilla (the last named indeed are
indigenous). There is scarcely anything
grown in the Philippines which may
not be successfully raised in Hawaii.
The most perplexing question will be
the labor problem. This can be most
easily solved by using the Chinese and
Japanese. But that means further en-
tanglement of the question, which has
already so greatly perplexed the Pacific
coast. -s $500 -.

F. p. Butler, of pack-train No. 8,
writing from Santiago de. Cuba, on
July 23d, says: We all had diarrhoea
in more Or less violent form, and when
we landed we had no time to see a
doctor, for it was a case of rush and
rush night and day to keep the troops
supplied with ammunition and rations,
but thanks to Chamberlain's Collie,
Cholera, and Diarrhoea Remedy, we
were able to keep. at work and keep
our health; in fact, I sincerely believe
that at one critical time this medicine
was the Indirect savior of our army,
for if the packers had been unable to
work there would have been no way of
getting supplies to the front. There
were no roads that a wagon train
could use. My comrade and myself
had the good fortune to lay in supply
of this medicine for our pack train be-
fore we left Tampa, and know in four
cases it absolutely saved life. - .

For Universal Peace.

The Gar of Russia has taken a step
in civilization far in advance of any,
, theing ever proposed before. The
Pope is credited with the conception
OF the plan proposed by the Gar,
which the Progress presents as follows:
''Nothing more astounding and in
ternationally important has occurred
in recent times than was the proposal
made last week by Emperor Nicholas
of Russia for general disarmament in
the interest of the permanent peace of
the world. The Car presented to the
foreign diplomats at St:Petersburg
note declaring that the maintenance
of general peace and the possible re-
duction of the excessive ornaments
which weigh upon all nations, present
themselves in existing conditions to
the whole world, an ideal toward
which the endeavors of all govern
ments should be directed. To put an
end to these incessant ornaments and
to seek the means of warding off the
calamities which are threatening the
whole world such is the supreme duty
to-day imposed upon all states.
''For a practical solution of this great
world problem, the Gar proposes the
the assembling of an international con-
ference for the purpose of an agree
ment which might, as the Gear says,
converge into one powerful focus, the
efforts of all states sincerely seeking
to make the great conception of univer-
sal peace triumph over the elements
of trouble and discord, and it would,
at the same time, cement their agree
ment by cooperative conservation of
the principles OF equity and right
whereon rest the security of states and
the welfare of peoples. ~ az-.
"Such an agreement would form the
browning glory not only of century,
but of modern civilization. Coming at
this time, when war shadows in the
old world seemed to be deepening, and
great conflicts developing, the Czar's
proposal is especially significant. It
comes from the one man in the world
who could make it to the most effective
advantage. The Russian stbear' has
hitherto been the great ''bugbear" in
the way of world peace. Should even
Russia, England and the United States
unite in such and agreement, it's sue
cess would be assured. The possibili-
ties of such a pledge for peace are of
the most profound Importance to the
cause of humanity. It's contamination
would bring the dawning of a golden
age never before equalled in universal
benefcence.n

Washington. Nov. 1S.-The record of

Mint George f. Roberts, indicates To-
tai output of gold amounting 10 S10.-
o55.2T0 OF this amount S5,0I0, 600
was received at the new government
assay office established at Seattle last
spring, and S4,S95.2T0 found its way
into the mint at San Francisco.
While this doubtless approximates
the product actually shipped out of the
Klondike. II falls short several hundred
thousand dollars of the actual produc-
ton. 1t is a well-known fact that a
good-sized stock of dust is constantly
maintained at Dawson City and other
centers, for current use, that forming
the sole medium of exchange, and Mr..
Roberts thinks ii quite likely that as
much as 81 100000 worth of the pre-
cious metal may be held at the present
tiIle. The branch of the Canadian Ma
tional Bank frequently ships two-thfrds
of million dollars worth, and 1t is
not impossible the bank has $500, 900
