The Mankato free press. [volume] (Mankato, Blue Earth County, Minn.) 1879-1924, 1900-03-30

The Royal Arcanians of Mankato are
naturally much elated over the fact
that the grand council at st. Pau
Tuesday voted to hold its next annual
session in this city, The meeting will
bring to Mankato splendid body of
men, representing the best element in
each community.
For ten years the sessions have been
held in the twin cities, and this had be-
come such fixed thing that it seemed
hopeless to try to select another meet
ing place, particularly as three. fourths
of the delegates were flom the two
cities and the life members were sup
posed to be opposed to a change. The
matter came up first during the noon
recess at little dinner party given by
Brother Gedney. of Minneapolis, at the
Commercial club, at which the three
Mankato members of the grand lodge,
Messrs. w. L.Comstock, B. F. Pay and
E. F. Soaring, were guests. 1t was
there proposed that the next session be
held in Mankato, and the suggestion,
which was made in a TESTING spirit, was
received with such favor that it was
taken up by the three Mankato men in
earnest, and they soon enlisted the aid
of some OF the leading Arcanians from
other points. The representatives
from Southern Minnesota all joined
the Mankato forces, and powerful aid
was given by Minneapolis men. al
though the meeting would ordinarily
have been held there next year. On
the first test vote, to refer the matter
to committee, the Mankato cham
pions were worsted. but the hustling
did not cease, and the campaign was
carried on so successfully that when
the committee reported what the addi-
tional expense would be, the motion to
hold the next meeting in Mankato was
renewed and carried unanimously.
The Mankato men and those who
worked with them were naturally much
elated. The invitation to come to
Mankato was made by Grand Sentry
Comstock. in neat speech, and the
other two Mankato men also worked
Loyalty and hard for Mankato.
Figures were secured on spe cial
train to run from the twin cities to
Mankato, and it is expected that the
two cities and the intermediate towns
will send full train load.
Mankato was honored again by the
election of W. L. Comstock to the Of
fee of Grand Orator. Mankato council
No. 1920 is on the roll of honor for the
number of new members secured dur
ing the past year, and there was most
warm feeling on behalf of this city on
all sides that made the work of securing
the grand council session easier.
Fifty new members were pledged for
Mankato in return for securing the
grand council, and all local members
should take an interest in seeing that
this pledge is fulfilled.
The following is. a list of the officers
elected: Grand regent, Robt. B. M.
Mckinney, Minneapolis; grand vice
regent, G.. W. Dunlap, ST. Paul; grand
orator, w. L. Comstock, Mankato; past

Used Knives.

There seems to have been
quite a lively time at a dance re-
Gently given at the Siletz. The
News gives the following az
count OF the affair:
Last Friday night while a
dance was in progress at Bob
Metcalfs near the Siletz Agency,
two Indians Larkey Logan and
Jack Spear became involved in
a quarrel during which Logan
drew a knife and proceeded to
carve his opponent after the most
approved fashion, slashing him
across the neck and two or three
times in the breast. The cats,
though quite serious, will not
prove fatal, it is thought. The
one in the neck narrowly missed
the jugular vein.
Larkey was Immediately ar.
rested and placed in the Siletz
Jail, to await the arrival of U.
S. marshal from Portland.

Report on Eastern Oregon.

In his last annual report, DR..
James Withycombe, vice di-
rector of the o A c Experiment
Station, under the head OF
"Plant Husbandry,'' makes
special mention of the arid, or
semi-a;id, region of Oregon 1y-
ing east of the Cascades. In
this connection he makes refer
enoe to a matter of interest that
is not generally known. 1t is
that there are four experimental
plats in Eastern Oregon. The
following is an extract from the
report:
Four experimental plats OF
ene-fourth of an acre each were
established at Moro, Sherman
county, in 1899. Upon these
plats leguminous plants, consist
ing of the Canadian field pea,
two varieties of vetch, vicia vii
losa and vicia sativa have been
grown as rotation crops for grain
the past two seasons. The pea
has given verv satisfactory re-
suits, but the vetch so far has
been a failure there. The OBJ
|ject of the experiments is to as
certain whether or not humus-
forming and nitrogen-gathering
forage plants valuable for stock
food can be successfully grown
there as rotation crops with
grain. DR.. Withyeonbs be-
lieves that an experimental farm
should be established in that
portion Of the state for the pur-
pose of testing various grasses
and forage plants, SO that their
value under semi conditions
NAV bs determined.

ELEMENTS OF SUCCESS.

A striking illustration of how
some men get rich was relased
the other day at Jacksonville.
Mr.. Cantral, young man 2o
years of age, worked hard up to
three years ago, and by close
economy had saved 1000. He
purchased cattle ranch for $40, :
900, paying ST. i'll cash and
the balance on easy terms. He
worked hard and managed we'll.
Last week he sold out for $17,-
600 cash, besides having saved
out of the sale of the cattle
$4,000, leaving a net profit for
the past three years labor the
snug sum of $12, ,ooo.-Roseburg
Review.
"He worked hard and man
aged we'll" Here is the secret
of success in every life. That
man who is born with capacity
for hard work and the willing
moss to perform it, will succeed
if he combines with this talent
the ability to manage we'll. The
recent populistic hewls of the
Review, that the poor man no
longer had an opportunity to
rise in this country, and Mr..
Bryan's "the young man Alb
solam," were intended to tickle
the ears of those who are too in
dolens to work hard and who
lack the ability to manage well.
This class of individuals will
never attain success, no MATES
what opportunities may be
offered them. Work hard and
manage we'll and yoa will sue
coed. Opportunity is before
you.

Considered Tax Collections.


The fourth annual convention
of county judges, county COM
nlissione1s and county assessors
opened Tuesday morning in
Portland. The greater part of
Tuesday was taken up with or
ganization. The reports of two
committees were adop:ed in the
afternoon.
The first by the committee on
assessment of personal property
recommended that ''the taxes
upon personal property be due
and collected OH or before 80
days after the same have been
listed by the assessor, the last
preceding levy to be applied in
determining the amount of taxes
due"
The committee cn manner Of
collecting taxes reported recon-
mending: "That the treasurer
shall be the collector of taxes ur
to the time they shall become
delinquent; that the sheriff shall
collect the delinquent taxes.
eff the present law on the
subject is not adequate, it should
be made so that levy OH real
property Or sale of same for de.
! linqucnt taxes should not be
made necessary.
''That all property when as.
sessed shall be a lien against al
property of the taxpayer.
"That the assessor shall be
the collector of all taxes on per
sonal property, not secured by
lien on real estate.
"That all taxes shall become
due and payable January I, an.
nually and become delinquent
Oh March I following, and thai
a penalty of 10 per cent be ther
added, with legal interest or
same after becoming delinquent
"That some better method bs
devised of disposing Of rea
property sold for delinquen
taxes than the present one O
authorizing the county judges tx
| bid it in for the county"
Regarding the scalp bounty
law, ], w. Hobart reported tha
the state treasurer was already
engaged ia sending out notice!
to the county treasurers where
the bounty tax had not beef
paid, asking them it they were
going to pay, and the reasons
for the delinquency.
In the remaining two days
session the most important re
port yet to be received will b
considered, which is that of th'
committee of assessors appointed
in February to draw up a bill 70
presentation to the legislature OF
