To Stop Sand Drifts.

Professor F. I. Scribner, OF the
Agri cultural Department, Washing
ton, has just finished an investigation
of the sand-drift question on the
Pacific coast. Shifting sand dunes
along the coast and rivers there do
great injury to orchards, railroads and
other improvements. It is proposed
to reclaim the sands by cultivating
special grasses on them, whose roots
will bind the surface together. Pro
fessor Scribner in his report will
recommend the planting of seaside
lyme grass, wild species of sedge
and beach grass, now used at some
points, to effect this purpose.-The
Pathfinder.

EDITOR SHEAF:
Well, friends, we have all celebrat-
ed our Independence Day, but in
what manner, that's the question.
Did we all spend that day in the
right way to honor our glorious ma
ton? hope none of us came togeth-
er to drink, play cards and fight. I
have seen those who have done that,
but such men, I dare say, are not
worthy of being called citizens of the
United States, am right? I doubt
if anybody could have spent the day
much better than did the people who
were gathered at Mr.. D. B. Bake, of
Newfolden. The weather was very
fine so everybody had chance to get
out, and at about from ten until
twelve o'clock you could see teams
coming in from all directions. At
II 80 the assembly was called to Or
der by Rev. Garborg who was presi-
dent of the day. First we had some
music and songs, then Mr.. Garborg
introduced to the audience the boy,
Mr.. Erickson, from Warren, also
student from the Moorhead Normal
School, who gave US we'll prepared
speech. Another score for you, Leon
ard. Come again some other time.
After that a program was gone through
by Mr.. Garborg's school children,
after which everybody sat down to a.
good picnic dinner. Those who did
not bring with them a dinner were
sent by Mr. Bake with order to march
right to the house and get up to the
tables, when we were waited upon by
the hostess and others. After dinner
we had games of various kinds, such
as base ball, tug of war, horse race,
foot race, wheelbarrow race and 9TH
ers. The base ball game was played
between Newfolden an2. New Solum
first mines. Tally showed % to IL in
favor of New Solum. In the wheel
barrow race the county surveyor
claimed to run up straight line, but
I guess he didn't see the stars very
plain when taking his observations
as he was some degrees from the
mark. In the evening we had
grand display of fireworks amid
whilst the fireworks went off three
cheers were sent up for Dewey, Samp-
son, Fobson, the Marshall county
boys of the 18th Minnesota Regiment
and Cuba's liberty, the higher the
fireworks went the louder the cheers,
after which "America'' was sung by
the whole audience and then everybo-
dy made a break for home. We all
wish to thank Mr.. Bake and family
for their kindness and hospitality as
they had taken lots of pain and hard
work to make it pleasant and comfort
able for all those who came there to
celebrate. The familiar form of Mr..
Bake could always be seen some
where in the crowd with pail of
lemonade in one hand and about half
a dozen glasses in the other now and
then wiping the sweat from his face
with his shirt sleeves. I tell you,
you have to feel like as though you
were in Spanish prison when you
come to Mr.. Bake? No, sir.
The heavy rains Of late has un-
doubtedly done some damage to grain
on low places where the water has no
chance to run off.

About one month ago my child,
which is fifteen months old, had an
attack of diarrhoea, accompanied by
vomiting. 1 gave it such remedies as
are usually given in such cases, but
as nothing gave relief, we sent for a
physician and it was under his care
for a week. At this time the child
had been sick for about ten days and
was having about twenty-five opera
tons of the bowels every twelve hours,
and we were convinced that unless it
soon obtained relief it would not live.
Chamberlain's Collie, Cholera and Di-
arrhoea Remedy was recommended,
and decided to try it. I soon noticed
change for the better; by its con-
tinued use a complete cure was
brought about and it is now perfectly

The Americans put little or no
trust in Aguinaldo, and the entire
army believes that he would betray
his followers lift served his purpose.
Manila is stunned by the splen-
did fighting abilities Of the Ameri-
cans shown in the battle of Sunday
night, July 3Ist. The Spanish
soldiers and residents actually eX-
pected to win a grand victory.
They were confident of driving the
enemy into the sea, after reading
the lying reports Of the condition
and number Of the Americans. The
Spanish loss was heavy, including
several officers. The Spaniards
planned TO turn the American
right flank, making joint attack
on the front and right. 1t was their
intention to kill as many of the
Americans as possible, and thereby
dem dish the entire force before it
could advance on Manila. They
fought doggedly to carry out their
purpose, but the steady fire of the
Americans caused their withdraw
al into the Malate forts and
trenches.
1 obtained this information from
a most reliable sourc "a foreigner
at Manila who saw the fighting.
The American field hospital
worked splendidly under CALLING
fire, and the remarkable courage
and steadiness of all ranks, both
regulars and volunteers, caused
General Greene to thank the troops
officially.
The Spaniards used Mauser ant
Remington rifles with coated
bullets.

final movements until the arrival o

he wishes to have troops enough t.
