The democrats OF Stearns county
will meet in convention on August
80, to select delegates to the state
and congressional conventions and
nominate county tickets. 1t is
quite probable that young Mr..
Bennett will permit the convention
to be little more courteous to and
considerate of western Stearns than
he did at the late convention. But,
will small favors be thankfully re-
ceived? 1t remains to be seen.

After a long continued drouth which
had most disastrous effect upon
wheat, practically destroying the crop
on the sand and decreasing the yield
on the heavier land, came a little
shower some time since, which mater
tally improved the situation, and q
more buoyant feeling prevailed. Last
week the wheat harvest began and wac

Elk Teeth.

Four hundred elk teeth were sold In
Spokane, Wash. the other day for ST.
600. The demands Of the members Of
the order of Elks and the growing
scarcity have increased the value OF
the teeth. Fourteen years ago a Mon
tana man paid only $50 for an Indian
headdress that contained 500 elk teeth.
Last year similar headdress contain
ing only $50 teeth sold for $500.

progressing nicely. A hot wave swept
down upon this section Of country, not
in itself destructive, but on Saturday
night last heavy rains commenced to
fall at intervals, and during the week
a tremendous amount of water has
fallen. The intervals between the
showers have been bright and hot, ex-
ceedingly unfavorable for harvest.
The grain was very short and as a
result the bundles are not well formed
and in many instances the grain is
only punched, not good condition to
resist water. The danger now is that
it will get such wetting that it will
not dry out without sprouting. The
wheat kernel is large, plump and
heavy, aad the chaff light and thin,
and it is feared that it will shell out in
handling. Such is the talk of the
practical farmers in this vicinity.

Consul Hughes, Of Coburg, reports:
"At the Coburg Agricultural Fair,
held from June to IL, 1900, there
was the largest and best exhibit of
American agricultural implements,
etc., ever seen in this part of Germany.
Two German makers exhibited poor
limitations of we'll known American
machines. 1t seems too bad that we
cannot prevent outside countries from
using and abusing our patterns.
When the German dealer is asked why
he sells more American goods than
those of his own country, he will re-
ply: I sell German goods when can;
but the people know and want Ameri-
can ones. and, rather than lose sale,
we are forced to sell the American
products. 1t is we'll known in Europe
that where irst-class American agri-
cultural implements are once we'll in
PRODUCED, the people cannot be pre-
vailed upon to buy anything else."

The "Full Dinner Pail' is an argu-
ment for the farmer as we'll as for the
city laborer. Who supplies what is
put in the pail? The farmer. If the
city laborer has his wages cut in two
by free silver, and is put out of job
by the closing of the mills, the farmer
suffers equally; for the farmer may
give away, but he cannot sell, the
products of his farm which the city
laborer cannot afford to buy. 1t is
because of the ''full dinner pail" that
the farmer is getting SO much better
prices for what he sells than he could
get before the election of Mckinley.
1t is because of the full dinner paip'
that he has paid off his mortgages,
and become lender of money where
he used to be a borrower.

II $4,000 TIMBER DEAL.

John G. Brown and others of Du-
1uth have sold to Day Bros, pine
timber in 60 and 61-14, south of
Tower, to the value of $4,000. The
amount of timber estimated to be
involved is not announced. The
timber is tapped by the Duluth &
Iron Range road. Day Bros. have
no mill of their own and it is said
they have not determined what dis
position they will make of the tim
Der. It will be remembered that
Day Bros. few months ago sold
pine timber to the value of $35OOOC
to the St. Croix Lumber company
This timber is situated near Ely
and will be sawed by the company's
newly acquired mill, purchased
from the Knox Lumber company

THAT ROAD TO KOOCHICHlN4.

The Tower Journal revives the
story of road from there to Koo-

iron ore deposits have been discov-
cred in 3 and 1O-62-18 and that this
has started reports of the construc-
ton of the road. The people of
koochiching, and in fact of the en-
tire Rainy River country, are eager
for railroad. There is stretch of
wilderness of 1e) miles to the near
est railroad station and naturally
the koochiching people are re-
quired to go to considerable time
and expense when they have busi-
ness at the court house of their
county which is at Grand Rapids.

DIDN'T PAY IN TIME.

A very important ruling was re-
ceived by the Duluth land office
yesterday from the general commits
sioner of the land department which
affects several thousand acres of
land in the Duluth district, and is
victory for the Northern Pacific
Railroad company over other claim
ants. The ruling is one of the out
comes OF the recent decision of the
federal supreme court, which held
that the eastern. terminal -of-4thes
Northern Pacific is Ashland instead
of Duluth.
In October, 1895, Frank w. Eaton,
of Duluth, made timber and stone
application for the northwest quar-
ter of section 9, 54-12, lying about Is
miles northeast of Duluth, and sup
posed to be valua BILE for timber and
minerals. The land office at the
time detected the application on &C.
countof conflicting with the rights
of the Northern Pacific to the land.
Subsequently however the land de-
partn1 1ent held that the railroad
company had no rights and award
ed it to Eaton, who on May 19, 1893,
made final proof under his timber
and stone application, paid for it
and d uly received his final receipt.
But last April the famous decision
of the supreme court was handed
down, which wiped out the conten-
ton OF the land department and de-
terrnined that this and all other
tracts of land in the same status be-
longed to the railroad and that Ash
land was the terminus. This decis-
ion of course destroyed the hopes
of a large number of timber claim
ants and settlers who had been
fighting for the land since 1895, and
left them without relief, excepting
such as might be had under the act
of February 21, 1893. This act, as
construed by the land department,
gives all settlers and purchasers
who paid for their land before JAM
uary 1, 1893, a prior right to it, be-
cause the railroad company had &C.
cepted the conditions of the act.
Unfortunately for Mr.. Eaton and
large number of others, however,
he did not purchase or pay for the
land until May, 1898, or after the
prescribed date, therefore he does
not secure the protection of the act.
It had been commonly supposed
that Eaton's rights would begin
from the date of his application,
but the holding of the general
commissioner is that he was not
a purchaser until the date of his
payment, and his entry is accord
ingly held for cancellation.
Register Culkin said yesterday
that there are perhaps IS other fill
ings in the local office in the same
condition. All can of course re-
cover the money paid for final
proof, but that is little satisfaction
to them or their grantees in view of
the fact that the land is generally
quite valuable.
