Brown County Journal: Among the
visitors in the city Monday were Phil
ip Hodapp and Wendell Hodapp, of
Mankato, and John B. Thro, of st.
Charles, Mo. Their visit to New Ulm
, is due to the opening of the new line
between this place and Mankato and
their previous visit to this trade center
was made twenty-six years ago. They
were much impressed with the changes
wrought in the progress of the quarter
century.
Lamberton Star: Redwood county
has 732 acres Of growing trees on
which bounty will be asked at the
rate of 50. 80 per acre, from the state,
according to reports made to the audi
tor. The town of New Avon claims the
largest bounty, the number of acres
being eighty-six, while Morgan and
Brookville come next with applications
for sixty-four acres each. The total
tree acreage of the county is about
four times larger than that for which
bounty is asked
The Marshall News Messenger says
that the wheat crop of Lyon county
will be practically No. 1, and that a
conservative estimate places the aver
age for the county at ten bushels. 1t
says that there are many places that
will go from 10 to 20 bushels per acre
and not many less than ten bushels
per acre.
= st. Peter Free Press: The North
western road is piling up large
amount of ties and other material at
CORTLAND. 1t is said that the company
will branch out from that vicinity to-
ward the north and northwest.
Lamberton Star: The first spring
wheat threshed in the state this year
was threshed in this county, and the
yield is reported at from Is, Is, and as
high as 20 bushels to the acre, and
around Morgan some claim as high as
80 bushels to the acre. There is, how
ever, considerable wheat in the county
that will yield less than 10 bushels
Eagle Lake News: Chas Chase
threshed 81 acresof, wheat which yield
ed 20 bushels per acre. At Andrew
Nyquist's farm yield of 20 bushels
per acre was realized and an elegant
grade of No. 1.
The action of the county board yes
terday in the matter of the city assess
ment, the full and complete account of
which was given exclusively in the
columns of the Free Press today
indicates that that body was not
DESTROYS of doing the exact square
thing by the city. At least that will
be the conclusion to be drawn as the
members thereof declined to take any
steps whatever toward looking into
the actual facts in the case, and so in
form themselves as to just how mat
tiers stand. City Attorney Daley pre-
sented particularly strong showing
but it did not seem to make any i'm
preston upon the board, which was
evidently against righting itself on
this question. The fact that the board
refused at accept the city's offer to
visit Faribault and other points free
expense to the members does not tend
to throw out the impression that they
wished to seek a wide range of in
formation ON the subject and treat the
city fair in the matter
The only thing now left for the city
is to make fight before the state
board. There ought to be some way
in which justice can be obtained, and
as there''is plenty of evidence that can
be secured to put up strong case, it
should be done, and an appeal made
to the state board of equalization for
what is right in the case
