Mr.. P0welps Plan Discussed.
COKATO, Mimi, May 14.-Mr. S. w.
Powell, Saltwater, Minn.-Dear Sir:
Your article in The Representative of
April 8, 1899, have read and reread, and
I am still busy thinking about your
proposition, of which the vital point is,
organization to fix the price of our pro-
duce, in which all farmers are interested
and in which almost all intelligent farm
ers agree with you.
We could hardly expect to succeed by
commencing in the middle and working
toward both ends; so 1 propose to drop
the discussion on local and terminal ele-
vators for the present at least, and if
they are not needed the issue will not be
raised in the future.
l should like to see your plan circu-
lated; it will certainly draw the atten-
ton of the farmers to the different
points of interest to our business.
Your paragraph on the stock plan
think ought to pass; but believe shares
should be limited to not over $40, and
that price uniform for our state; l would
suggest that shares be limited to five
per capita.
The organization of the grain growers
is in itself gigantic undertaking, and
is patriotic move to better the condi-
lions of every citizen of our common
country. 1t may be of slow growth for
it, and stand by it.
I hope the farmers will turn out to the
July meeting en- masse, for ii the meet
ing be largely attended we may succeed
in taking action that will result favora-
bly, to the organization. Respectfully,
H. L. SAND

Dear Sir and Brother: take this
method of reporting to you. Some time

and got few signers to it, but did not
elect officers. A few days afterwards l
took the list and got few more names.

man and secretary, but it rained on the
day of the meeting and only four came.
I then called another meeting a few
weeks later, and nobody went but my
self. Our precinct is badly scattered,
and farmers are behind with work, so
l decided to report and recommend some
one to act until we can elect, or I will
say, if anything of Importance should
come up, if you will let me know, 1 will
inform the members of the club. / will
recommend ]. r. Clare, of Miner, Cass

rotary. Respectfully,

Post Office at Uxbridge
Visited by Hundreds Of
Spy Readers.

Uxbridge, April 24.-The spy's ex-
elusive account of the burglary of the
Uxbridge post office created a great
sensation in town this morning. The
explosion was heard by several people
at about 1,9O. Walter T. Capron, who
lives. opposite Hotel Windsor, dressed
himself and came down town, but for
while was unable to locate where it
had occurred.
He met the night Waterman in his
fathers mill, and together they located
it by the smoke issuing from the brok-
en- windows of the post office. Post
master Charles E. Cook was notified,
and when he arrived he found the
room full of smoke and a wreck gen
orally
The door of the safe had been blown
off, and thrown against the money. Or
der counter, which was badly shat
tered. The plate glass windows were
wrecked, and the glass scattered all
over the sidewalk The mail box cab
met was somewhat wrecked. 1t was
singular that the registered mail was
undisturbed Also the money order
book was left.
The money, stamps, ETC., were all
taken, and their loss viii probably
amount to 5000 1t was first believed
that nitro glycerine was used, but later
a small hole was found in the sate,
which indicated that powder was used.
The loss to Postmaster Cook for safe
and boxes is $100; to Samuel Hudson,
for the building, $50
AS yet there is no clue to the burg
lars, although DeputX Sheriff p. Q. Ba-
con is at Mork on the case. Many be-
lieve it the work of the professional
gang that have done similar JOBS
throughout the state during the past
year. Two suspicious looking men,
one short and the other tall, We're seen
in town about IL last night. Whether
these were the guilty ones or not, is
not known.
Christian Gredig, who lives in the
centre, saw Walter Capron, who was
trying to locate the explosion, and at
first took him for one of the burglars.
Arthur r. Taft also heard the eXplo-
sion and looked out of his window
towards the centre, but saw no one.
