Capt. John Johnson with his steam boat is
towing logs for Bob. Burch on the big lake.
Al. Halves will remain at the Shakopee, lake
camps this summer for the Foley-Bean Lunl-
Der Co. = ~ - II
The Foley-Bean drive is now in the Milaca
and Tibbetts Brook ponds and the lake boys
who were on the drive returned yesterday. !
r. Swedberg, who was taken before the U. IS.
court at Duluth on the charge of selling whis-
key to the Indians returned last Sunday, his
case having been dismissed, it being easily
seen that it was a trumped up case
A good road from Milaca to Mile Laos lake
will open up to settlement nearly 400, 900 acres
Of land of the finest quality for farming and
stock raising. When once developed it should
lower by one-third the high rate Of taxation in
our county. Good roads in this way, alone
means much to every taxpayer in the county.
Mr.. johnson who now has charge OF the Page
stopping place and postof1ce is a very pleasant
gentleman. Mr. Thompson Of Minneapolis
who owns the place contemplates some extern
slve improvements this season and next Mr.
thompson is much interested in this part OF
Mile Laos county and will no doubt do a great
deal toward it's development. esS ii

broke away from him about a month ago and

of not only the: Thirteenth but also the
troops OF neighboring western states.
President Mckinley may not be able
to go further west on his trip and as
be wishes to meet the veterans of the
Philippine war the boys may decide to
come. There could be no better camp
chosen for the returned veterans than
here, where Minnesotas exhilirating
breezes would soon rid the boys of the

and give them back their oldtime

COL. WATTERSON made one of the
most patriotic speeches delivered at
Memorial Day exercises last Tuesday.
Coming as it does from the south it
shows that country is once more firmly
cemented by the bonds of peace, unity
and brotherly affection. Unlike some
OF his illustrious contemporaries he
pledges bis full support to the govern
ment and in such manner as should
bring the blush of shame to cheeks of
some OF those who were opposed to
Mr.. Watterson's cause in the '6O's.
Here is his peroration: ."Great as we're
the issues we have put behind us for
ever, yet greater issues still rise dimly
upon the view. Who shall fathom
them? Who shall forecast them? I
seek not to lift the veil on what NAV
lie beyond. Fully realizing the re-
sponsibilities and the duties I, for one,
accept them, thankful that I. too. am
an American. Wheresoever the ma
TONS star may lead, I shall follow:
nothing loath, or doubling: though it
guide the nations footsteps to the
furthermost ends of the earth. Believ.
ing that in the creation and the pre.
Servation of the American union the
hand of the Almighty has appeared
from first to last; that His will begat
it, and that His word has prevailed:
that in the war of the revolution and
in the civil war the incidents and acct
dents OF battle left no doubt where
providence inclined; if the star that
now shines over US, at once a signet OF
Gods plan and purpose and heaven
sent courier of civilization and reli-
gion, shall fix itself above the steppes
of Asia and the sands of Africa. it shall
but confirm me in my faith that the
judgments Of the Lord are true and
righteous altogether.''' Is = s & i.

WHILE the country is discussing the
trust problem the Minneapolis Tribune
goes on record as opposed to any change
in the tariff and says it "does not be-

Republican party to reverse itself on
the tariff in the hope of thereby
throttling a few trusts. If it is to
tackle the trust problem, let it adopt a

WHAT A REFORMER!

WHAT A REFORMER!
That Lind is reform governor cam
not be successfully denied. That idea
OF having the stone for the new capitol
cut by convict labor was one that none
but a reform governor and avowed
friend of the laboring classes would
have dared to entertain. Had Lind
not been reform governor he would
have been hooted by every union man
from Maine to California for such a
suggestion.-G,u,ed Rapids Magnet.

The value of petition as guide to
what people really want or mean has
been well exemplifed in the case of
the postofice at St. Charles in Con-

were five applicants, and nearly every
business man in St. Charles signed the
petition of every candidate, making it
impossible for Mr.. Tawney to tell VIII at
the sentiment of the town was. Forty
six business men signed petitions of
these applicants; thirtyfour signed

Reporters are said to be the mildest

times the wittiest Of men, too, and
their wit serves them when argument
fails. A celebrated canon of the Eng

at a meeting, and on this occasion did
not wish his address reported. He
communicated his desire to the gentle
men of the press who were present.
They demonstrated with him.

The canon was inexorable. He
would not be reported. At last one or

port?'

NcwnoSS Of America.

The newness of American life was
illustrated recently at Minneapolis,
when 1000 school children, in relays of
a thousand. hauled the first house ever
built in Minneapolis through the streets
Of the town to the site that had been
arranged for it in Minnehaha Park.
The house was built. says Harpe1's
Weekly, forty-seven years Ago., and not
only has it survived, but its builder is
living, too, as we'll as his Wife, WHO
came from New York to live in it. He
is Col. John H. Stevens, a veteran Of
the Mexican war, who was born in
1920, went to Minnesota in 1S49 for the
good of his lungs, and, not finding n
claim that suited him in the village Of
s.. Paul, went up the river and stakel
out a farm at st. A%nthony's Falls, on
land that is now the enter of a city
which brags of it's 200, 900 Inhabitants,
and hopes to have a million more. Col.
Stevens has been a leading man in
Minneapolis yer since he started the
town and apparently has not failed to
gain such legitimate advantages as
ought to accrue to a pioneer who Sc
lects his farm with discretion and
abides by his choice.

Farmers in Kent county, Maryland,
have found that ground planted in
tomatoes yields from 1927 to $50 per
acre, and one farmer reported a yield
of $72 per acre, while the average
of reports received indicated a yield
OF a little less than 5000 per cre
All these facts came out at a meet
ing of farmers. 1t was the sense OF
the meeting that the landlord should
furnish half the fertilizer and hall
the tomato plants and that he should
receive one-third the returns.
