prosperous times ns it takes him 6
days with SELF ana one team to get a

should say, az he won't average more
than 100 to Il load.
One or two saw milk have or are
about ready to start up and the two

business.
We were III Warren last week and
never saw the roads 80 good at this
time OF the Year, and such splendid
weather, too.
Surely no one can kick on Marsh

crop in this town was the best We
ever had here. 1t beat the '95 crop
bad. 20 bushels Vas the smallest
yield OF wheat hear OF, and one man
had 200 bushels off of 5 acres; don't
think that can be beat in this county
this year.
This part OF the county has chang
ed very much since you were out this
way. Come again when you can,
make it convenient and see for your
self. =

Since our town was organized in

cannot say how many marriages,

any happen.
There are now two stores in our
town, 50 we won't have to go to
Thief River Falls or Warren for our
goods, and MIR. Ingalls, is collecting
agent for anyone who sees fit to send
nim that kind OF business to do. He
collected Is dollars last week for Il
man who lives in Missouri, and has
other bills for different men to col

very desirable business to do. -

From the Philadelphia Record: In.
Vestigaiions made by Professor Milton
Whitney, who Is in charge OF the dI.
vision OF soils In the department o.

phenomenon that the soils of the San
Joaquin valley and OF the great Pa
iouse district comprising the fertile
Wheat-growing regions) contain a con-
siderable quantity OF moisture In ex-
cess OF the amount received from rain
fall or surface irrigation. A similar
phenomenon has been observed in the
Yellowstone valley and In parts OF the
Red River valley. and this would seem
to explain the mystery why these re.
Eions. which are semiar!d. rarely suffer
from drouth. But this explanation
solves one mystery only to present an.
other which is even more inexplicab.e
