ed and wages are unusually good. a
prominent farmer of the town of Mani

of six farm hands He encountered q
number of laborers on the bridge and

swered in the affirmative and said they
wanted IA shilling per day The farm
er assented at once and they then de-
manded s. per day and board This
was granted.
The owner of another farm near the
city limits hiree man for ii shillings
per day TO NOW aud care for the grass in
his orchard. The next day he went out
TO see what had been done and found
only "A couple of swarths cut and the man
missing He had struck for higher wages
without making application for an ad-
vance. Farmers find it difficult to secure
help as the Dakota farmers draw heavily
on farm hands, the railway companies
furnishing practically free transporta-

GOOD ROADS.

Miss Rella c. Harder, secretary of the
Good Roads Association was in the city
on Friday A meeting was called for
the afternoon at the Court House. The
notice given was brief but the attend
ance was quite fair Miss Harber's pur
pose was to arrange for good roads
convention to be held in this city some
time in October under the auspices of
the association. Generals Stone and
Harrison, officials connected with the
National Agricultural Department, at
tend these conventions and give practi-
cal illustrations of road building The
work is just the same as that done re-
Gently in Menominie the expense of
which was borne by Senator Stout. The
work done there was under the direction
of these gentleman.
Miss HARDER explained the system fully
and answered such questions as We're
propounded regarding the work. She
estimated that $500 would be necessasy
to properly do the work of building a
few rods of model road. The expenses
of the two experts would have to be
borne locally as the Agricultural De-
partment pays their salaries only. A
guaranty of $500 is required before a
convention can be secured This is to

is extra. The purpose is to get as many
| people from the county present as pos
sible to witness the manner of construct

sons and will not need constant repair
ing.
Those present offered assurances that
$500 could be raised and it was decided
/ to hold mass meeting to learn what
the sentiment is regarding the movement
for permanent road improvement.
