Poultry Farm.

+ Mr.. and Mrs. Leon LaForge, who
have been in the city for the past
ten days, returned to Lincoln, Neb.,
Tuesday noon.
Mr.. LaForge has purchased some
land situated in the Park Outlots
near Pike creek. Early next year he
will commence operating a poultry
farm. He has been looking around
for sometime for d location IN one Of
the northern states. Et Says that
taking into consideration the n;,-
tural advantages aud opportunities
offered, Minnesota and Little Falls in
particular presents the best attrac-
stidns.N He will only handle two or
three breeds Of chickens. One for
eggs and one for broils and roasts.
He expects to expend about $4,000
in buildings, machinery, etc.
T. While he will do a small local
business his principle support will
come from the Twin Cities and Du-
luth. A poultry farm is something
new in this part of the state but is
something that ought to take well
and ifmanaged properly may prove
a successful venture.

The weather in the Red river val

damp condition of the grain, which
has been added to by the light rains
this week, which fell in the south
east an the Dist, in the southwestern:

in the southeast on the 23rd. The
25th and Goth were the only days on
which stacking and threshing could
be done. In the southeast most Of

Another Rest.

The taking OF another batch OF tes-
timony in the Electric 4 Water liti-
CATION was completed Tuesday
evening. This was mostly for. the
city's side OF the case, and among
the witnesses were. John Wetzel, J,
W. Berg, Mayor Vasaly, Aldermen
Martin and Mecusker, Fl. F. Schleus-
ener and Henry. Rasicot. The last
ties timony introduced was by the
city officials to show that there were
certain street lights and hydrants
that they thought could lie spared in
the interest Of lower expenses None
of the city's witnesses favored any
decrease in the length OF the mains.
and none suggested taking out the
hydrants at the euds OF the Hennepn
Paper, company's line, the elevator
line, the hospital line, the Pine Tree
lines on borh sides Of the river, or in
fact any hydrants that would de-
crease. the length Of the system ex
cept the one southwest Of the Antlers.
When that was ordered there there
was no line running east OF the
Antlers, SO an sarGument against it
now would not have been good
when it was placed there in 1890.
The fleet OF the testimony is to
concede that the plant is not too
extensive, and it is the extent and
not the number OF hydrants that
determines the cost. d. "a,

During the second inning Bouras-

changed positions. The boys re-
manned this way during the rest of
the game.
The game commenced with the St.
Cloud boys at bat. BY means of an
error and two base hit they run In
four scores. In the same inning
Little Falls made two runs.
In the second inning st. Cloud
scored one run and Little Falls two.
St. Cloud added another score in the

ings. This was certainly pretty ball
playing, in fact the entire game was
an exception for amateur players.
In the seventh inning Little Falls
scored one. The eighth was white

crossed two men over the home
plate which won the game The
above game was certainly an ex-

They were met at the depot by the
manager of the st. Cloud team and
furnished conveyances to the ball
grounds. In the evening they took
in the theatre and were escorted to
the station on their return home.
A number Of Little Falls boys went
down as rooters and helped to swell
the audience at the game. The en-
lockers were fewer in numbers than
they would have been had the game
been played on day when it was
possible for more people to leave

London, Dec. 30.-It has been learned
by a press representative that the Uni
ted States cruiser Montgomerys visit
to Liberia is apparently the result Of
Dvertures made to Washington by that
republic Though the British govern
ment is i'm complete ignorance of the
purpose of the MontgOmery's mission.
the establishment of a coaling station
In Liberia by the United States is re-
garded as scarcely possible, as II is
asserted, no Liberian port has any fa-
cilities for coallng, all of them being
open and surfbound
The press representative learns. how
ever, that far more important step
is under consideration II consists In
joint request Of the United States and
Great Britain upon Franco to define
the boundary between the territory
she claims and that claimed by Libe-
ria This step is not yet decided upon,
but Great Britain only awaits the Unit
ted States assent to become party to
such a request.
It is alleged that France for many
years has been encroaching on Lii
IBERIA. and 1t was only by the strenu-
Gus protest of the United States that
she was prevented from appropriatinG
a large slice of Liberia in 1892.
According TO the Hon. Arthur Pom
sonby, mana. ing director of the Libe-
rian rubber sydicate, which recently
guaranteedy-tbe interest of Liberia 5
public debt, the Montgomery's visit is
probably prompted by a desire to ascer-
tain the extent of French activity. Mr..
Ponsonby said toa press representative
Bishop Hartzell, while in Monrovia
this year. strongly urged the govern
ment to interest the United States in
! preserving the boundaries. with the re-
suit thst,. Liberia appointed mission
to Washinc tom / believe it has al
ready made representations, and pre-
sumo the commander of the Montgom-
cry investigated both this and the pos
sibility OF a coaing station. The lat
ter Liberia would gladly lease to the
United States, but beyond hoisting her
| flag upon it it would be of little se'-
| vice.
The feeling among British subjects
| commercially interested in Liberia Is
that the repul lies progress had bet
ter be under the protection of either
! Great Britain or the United States
But both the British government and
! those having interests there believe
that so long as Liberia can continue to
struggle ON in her present condition
everything possible should be done tc
support her"
Liberia decorated Mr.. Ponsonby this
week with the order of African Re
demption in recognition of his services
against encroachments.

BRITISH INCONSISTENCY.
French Official Discusses the seiH-
ure of American Flour.

ure of American Flour.
Paris, Dec 30.-The virtual seizure
by British officials of vessels laden
with American -four consigned to the
Beers has aroused renewed interest
In Paris. An official of the French
foreign Office said to a press corre-
spondent with respect to the seizure
of breadstuffs:
"Such a seizure is absolutely outside
of international rights and as foolish
as though Great Britain, supposing her
TO be at war with Switzerland, should
declare a blockade of Hamburg for fear
certain goods should reach the Swiss
from that source.
"A decision to consider breadstuffs
contraband gould be regarded in dip
lomatic circles as a suicidal policy for
Great Britain, as she would be most
dependent for food supplies upon other
nations in case a war arose involving
her"
The official then proceeded to point
out a number of precedents against the
action of Great Britain in this matter.
He cited her own refusal, during the
F'ranco-Prussian war, to recognize as
contraband coal consigned to France,
although it was known to be intended
for warships. A still more pertinent
instance arose during the Franco-Chi-
nese war, wh"l Great Britain declined
to accept a declaration of France max
ing rice contraband.
Obviously. however, the chief ground
for apprehension is the belief that, II
Great Britain should establish a cor
don of vessels across Delagoa bay, il
would be necessary for all nations tC
send naval vessels there to protect
individual rights.
