about year and a half. The black
bass all came from the government
fish hatchery in Illinois. The COM
mittee did not get as many as was
expected, but Mr.. Kean stated that
the applications for the fry were so
numerous that the commission was
obliged to cut down the number
asked for by each applicant. He
was satisfied that, by proper po-
lice patrol of the river, that there
would be plenty of bass here to fur
nish good sport inside of three
years. The croppies all came from
the Illinois river, and the commits
sion finds it easy to supply the de-
mand for these fish, which are con-
sidered almost as good as are the
black bass.
Mr.. Keaa had with him six cans
of fish for points on the Great North
ern, and a transfer was made at
this station for the St. Louis, and
from there the fry was taken to
Hanley Falls, and from there taken
to Willmar, where they were dis
triouted among the lakes in that
section. Mr.. Kean wears the uni
form of the United States Fish COM
mission, and thoroughly under
stands the handling of fry. AS
evidence of this it need only be
stated that of all the fry consigned
to Redwood Falls not one was dead
when placed in this river.
The law provides that black bass
shall not be caught during the win
ter months, and special law will
be asked for to protect the fry
placed in the Redwood river, as
soon as. the legislature convenes.
In the meantime the committee pro-
poses to see to it that there is no
violation to the law prohibiting
bass fishing from now until June.
Arrests will be made as soon as de-
lection is made, whether the yio-
lator be man or boy. People inter-
ested in haying the river and pro-
posed lake stocked with good fish
will make no attempt to violate it.

THE s.Y' GOES.
y. S. Supreme Court Decides In
Favor OF Jacobsen.

On Monday of last week the Unit
ed States Supreme Court rendered
a decision in the case of the Wis
consin, Minnesota and Pacific rail-
road VS.. J. F. Jacobsen in error to
the supreme court of the State of
Minnesota. The opinion of the
State court was affirmed. The case
involves the validity Of the Mime
sofa State law requiring intersect-
ing railroad lines crossing each
other at grades to make "Ys' con-
Meeting the two. The law was at
tackled upon the ground that it is
violation of the interstate commerce
clause OF the constitution.
In this case it was urged.that the
railroad company might be'deprived
of long haul of cattle and compelled
to turn them over to an interesting
road, if required to build "Y' at
Hanley Falls, which is the point in
volved in this case, and the claim is
made that a similar objection might
apply in other cases. In consider
ing this objection the court recog-
nized it's existence but said the
longer haul was liable to prove in
furious to the cattle. The pith of
the courts decision is found in the
following paragraph:
ut is unnecessary to determine
the question of the validity Of the
whole act. We simply here deter
mine that the judgment rendered
directing this track connection to
be made and thus affording track
facilities at Hanley Falls, does not
violate the constitutional rights of
the plaintiff in error
Justice White and McKenna
The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1900-12-19

joined in dissenting opinion. JUS
tice White said the opinion was far
reaching in its effect and amounted
to saying that private property
might be taken for public use with
out any compensation whatever.
The above decision of the United
States Supreme court is not accept
ed by local railroad officials as be-
4 ing Of a sweeping nature. General
Manager Day of the Minneapolis &
st. Louis road, who appealed the
case to- the federal court, was asked
what effect the decision would have
on his road: He replied:
Il am not fully informed as to the
decision, but from a perusal Of the
press dispatches I am of the opinion
that the decision applies solely to
Hanley Falls case and has no bear
ing On other points where crossings
are similar. I believe, however,
that where business interests de-
mand a ''Y,' as the court has de-
cided they do in the Hanley Falls
case, railroads may be required to
make such improvements, but I do
not believe that the decision intends
to compel us to make track connec-
tions in every case where railroad
lines cross each other at grades.
That cannot be the intent of the de-
cision, for it would be tremendous
burden and would enable property
owners at crossings to demand such
improvements that they might dis
pose Of property for the improve
ment at fabulous figures. | think
you will find when the entire de-
cision is at hand that no such con-
structiOn was intended. =
Vice President Kendrick of the
Northern Pacific was of the same
opinion.

CHOICE CONSIGNMENT.
Black Bass Deposited That Will
Spawn Next Spring.

Supt. Kean of the United States
Fish Commission, having his head
quarters at Quincy, Illinois, arrived
here on Wednesday morning of last
week, with large consignment of
large and small-mouth black bass
and croppies for the stocking of the
Redwood river above the proposed
Burmeister dam.
Mr.. Kean at once turned over the
fish to the local committee and
through the kindness of Schmahl &
Jaehnings and D. E. Laird, and
Barnes Bros. and Edward Pratt the
fry were placed in cans furnished
by the two former concerns, and
driven in carriages furnished by
the latter to the pumping station,
where hole was cut through the
ice and the fish deposited in the
river.
The black bass furnished by the
government were big members of
their tribe. They measured from
six to ten inches in length, and Mr..
Kean stated that all of them would
spawn next spring and that the
river ought to be well stocked with
black bass inside OF three years.
The croppies were from three to
ten inches in length, and will spawn
after they have been in the river

ROBERT E. TYSON.
The above portrait represents one
of the youngest and one OF the most
successful of the exhibitors at the
Minnesota State Fair. Robert E.
Tyson, son of Joseph Tyson, lives
in Redwood Falls, in our State. He
is student of the School of Agri->
culture, and is just entering on his
second year at the school just men
toned. It is needless to say that
he is some years short of manhood,
that is to say, if we are to measure
manhood by years. His picture
shows that he is young. But he
proved himself old enough to win
$185 in cash on six store steers
which he showed at the State Fair,
and silver cup valued at $50. This
cup was offered by The Farmer for
the best animal in the feeding ex-
hibit. The winnings on these six
animals were therefore 1926. They
we're of the grade Angus type and
young Mr.. Tyson prepared them
for exhibition. On Tam worth SOW
and litter, which also he had cared
for, he won 1872 in cash. Note, the
SOW was Tamworth, one of that
despised, derided, abused breed
that folks laugh ct SO much. This
despised Tamworth and her litter
won first prize for best brood SOW
with litter, and also the sweepstakes
for best SOW and litter, any age or
breed.
The judges who made the award
were three Agricultural College
professors. Did not those men
commit crime for making such an
award? And does not that sow de-
serve some kind Of punishment for
winning that prize, she being only
Tamworth?
But the discussion now is not
Tamworths. It is young Mr.. Ty-
son and his 1867 which he carried
away from the State Fair in prizes.
A young man will hire. out on a
e. w, fo~ -; " ,,oo,,%ho -, %Lo ,,,~.,a~
and will earn about $3.50. Mr.. Ty-
son has over twice as much as the
result of only two or three hours of
labor day. This is not stated as
an incentive to young men every
where to go into fitting animals for
the show in the sure hope OF max
ing money by doing so, but rather
to show that there are openings for
young farmers who stick faithfully
to the old farm. Mr.. Tyson was
fortunate in not having particularly
strong opposition. He might show
in the same classes many years
again without earning so much
money from the same number of an
imals in one year. But he had this
year the same opportunity that
10000 other farmers boys had, and
he alone of them all took advantage
of the same.
Young man of the farm, begin to
fit animals for the show. Begin to
do so now. It may not always be
wise to begin at first to exhibit at
the State Fair. Better usually to
begin at the county fair Any
young man of grit and perseverance,
can win prizes at the county fair in
some Of the live stock lines. To be
sure the prizes may not represent
much money. but they are prizes.
The value of prize is by no means
represented by the money it brings.
Young men of Minnesota, don t
imagine that the most valuable item
to young Tyson in those winnings
was the money or the silver cup.
OF far more value to him was the
educational benefit he was receiv-
ing. He was Gaining information Of
great value. He was getting ex-
perience. He was tying himself
down to habits of industry. He

PRESIDENT Tucker of Dartmouth col

class ut Hanover, has aroused much
discussion among educators and men
in public life in Chicago. Dartmouth
president urged that politics should De

Young men should be instructed in
college to become politicians.
Decided views on the subject are eS-
messed by President Harper of the
University of Chicago and ex-Juage
Thomas A. Moran.
President Harper said: Il fully

vo,,ng men so inclined to take up
nolltics as n business, with q view
to making it their life work. l be-
lieve it would be q good thing 1or

Ex-Judge Moran said: II certainly
would advise them to take nm interest
in politics, that they may be able In
telliyently to discharge their duty as
citizens. We have too many men in
the country now who are professional
politicians"
A. s. Trude said: 81 always main

! in that house for more than twenty
years, he said; and lie suggested to
JeniieSs that tile father had expressed
wish that their affairs shotld go on
In the future according to the customs

"This IS the first time that lie has
had nothing to say about It," retorted
Jenncss, with some temper. ~ will

The next morning Jenncss and his
family held their devotions IN one
room and Philbrick and his family
held theirs in another, which was the
beginning Of n quarrel that finally In
yolved the whole heighborhocd, and,
after numerous attempts at & settle
ment by arbitration, it was found nee
essary to sell Mt auction every inch of
ground, every head Of live stock, every
article e household use and every
piece of property because the brothers
could not agree upon anything. When
the auction came they bid against
each other fercely over certain arti-
cles that both wanted. At the close of
the sale each took his own purchases
and his share Of the money paid to
the auctioneer and went his own way.
That was early In the '70s, and, al
though they have lived i'll the same
township and have experienced thc
joys and sorrows that cone into the
lives of men, they have never spoken

troops occupied in turn all the prov
inces of the north with fewer than n
dozen fights of any consequence. From
that time on 1t became a foot race
after the demorallzed bands that were
leaving the Tarlac lowlands. There
was no established capital, no machin-
cry of government, no grand army and
half the cabinet surrendered or were
captured.
Officially the revolution was crushed,
but General Conception, Aguinaldo's
chief of staff, uttered O dissenting
opinion which, as since proved, was
prophetic.
"You think it is over, but 1t isn't.
You have now disrupted the army and
scattered 1t far and wide. You have
some Of the leaders In prison and your
troops occupy the whole north coun.

American forces. This was where dis
cipline, morale and esprit du corps
combined to make the smaller force

Soon after this discovery, which he
seems to have been long In making.
he heard that the United States was
going to increase the Philippine army
