COMMUNICATED.

Mr.. 3. \. Freeren was at Cortez
on Monday the 10Th Of July, con-
sulting with the Board OF County
Commissioners in regard to the
taxes Of the Water System.
Mr. Freeman brought no attorney
but as | understand it, simply pre-
sented the matter in its business as
pect as it related to the canal own
ers and to the interests OF the coun-
ty resting under it and in the most
friendly and gentlemanly manner.
He asked some relief in taxation
and expressed the hope that the
Commissioners would either cancel
the taxes FOX 81 and 90, which are
not paid or sell the Certificate of
Sale for 1897 at a nominal figure.
He showed that during each year
OF their connection with the sys-
tenn, the cost of operation had been
materially more than the income
derived. On the other hand, a
great deal of opposition was mani
tested by some Of the parties pres
ent to any dim;nution Of the bur
dens resting upon the system, and
decided disposition TO consider
them accountable for the water
shortage just now existing, was
! displayed.
This is manilestly unjust, for the
condition of droutli is not confined
to our valley, but in fact we are APP
parently better off than almost any
part of this or adjacent states and
territories. Taken as whole !
predict a fairly satisfactory year for
Montezuna valley, and taken over
series of past years, where have
the farmers Jared better? Is i, no,
true that great taxable valuation
has been created by this Canal Sys.
TEN, which otherwise would never
have existed, and that it may al
most be considered fact that the
construction Of this costly system
made Montezuna county. What
would become Of all this If by action
Of the elements or Providence tha,
system ceased' How long must il
be suffered to operate even at closest
economy, at financial loss to the
COMPANY ewning it,
Is 1t not to the deep interest oi
the entire county and to every one
in it, to foster, protect and tighten
the burdens upon, and increase the
income Of this Canal system and
how can this be effected, until there
shall be sufficient to keep it, in
bettermehts and enlargement, in a

ENGLISH AS SHE'S WRITTEN
A Telegram That Nearly Prostrated
a WashinCton Man.

A lamentable unfamiliarity with Eng
lish as she is automatically "spoke" on
her native heath is responsible for a
bad quarter of an hour which a certain
young lawyec of this town will not
soon forget. His wife has most pro-
nouncedly correct tastes in everything.
including dress. Such Of her gowns as
do not come direct from London town
are built in New York by the most cor
rect of English man milliners. When
she made ready to go to Long Branch
last summer. the young wife laid in a
supply of clothes that should dazzle
the natives. Her English man milliner
was. however, proyokingly slow about
delivering things. and she was forced
to set off without several Of the frOcks
she had intended taking with her. For
the first week after she went away she
wrote to her devoted husband at home
every day. For the second week she
wrote every other day. In the third
week four days passed without line
from her. On the fifth day a telegram
was delivered at the young lawyers
Office.
"Wife's body forwarded this morn,
ing"
The signature was scrawl, but the
message was enough to chill the very
marrow of that young husbands bones.
It had been sent from New York. He
saw. in his minds eye. his dainty little
wife running up to town for a days
shopping. Re thought of the frightful
heat. He knew just how It had all come
about and with horror stricken face
he dashed ont into the street and fair
~ ran to the house Of his wife's sister
to acquaint her with the frightful
news. he vas past speech when he
reached the house. but he held out the
fatal telegram. The sister read 1t.
"Well" said she. ''it's time he sent 1t.
She's been expecting 1t for six weeks.

that the shippers of the state would
be saved any material sum in freight
by the adoption of the commissions
order is as bad as the other shallow
pretense of the administration in con-
nection with the inspection bureau ano
the prison Irvine plant. The commits
sion started out with a tremendous
bluff at general reduction of rates:
1t then qualified this first bluff with
another proposition for a classified re-
duction of rates: again. 1t proposed to
substitute for the proposition to re-
duce rates, another proposition to APP
ply certain existing rates to certain
newly-named points; finally it comes
down to a piteous appeal to make a
special rate> for New Ulm, the govern
or's home town, and three or four 9TH
er small cities, under the pretense that
1t is going to lower the rates at these
points, whereas, in fact, the articles
upon which the reduction is ordered
are not shipped in any large quantities
from these points. 1t is safe to say
that the difference in the cost of
shipments OUT from the proposed
new distributing points would not

$4,000. With one hand the commits
sion orders reduction of rates upon
certain commodities from certain
points, and with the other specifies the,
commodities upon which the reduc ior,
was to take effect, carefully excepting
the articles shipped out from these
proposed distributing points. Had there
been an honest intention to accomplish
an actual reduction of rates, the order
would have been made to apply, for
instance, to flour and beer, which are
the principal articles shipped from
New Ulm; it would have been made to
apply to lumber, which is the principal
article shipped from Little Falls; il
would have been made to apply to
stone, which is the principal article
shipped from ST. Cloud; to wheat and
other grains, the principal articles
shipped out of Fergus Falls, Moor
head and Crookston. and other agri-
perpetrates the silly joke of saying
that the brewers and millers of New
Ulm may ship paints, glass and
oils at reduced rate; that the lum-
bermen of Little Falls may ship gro.
ceries, clothing, boots and shoes at a
reduced rate; the quarrymen of st.
Cloud and Mankato may ship hides
and pelts and machinery at a reduced
rate; and the farmers and grain men
of Fergus Falls, Moorhead and Crooks
ton may ship groceri- s, nails and lace
curtains at a reduced rate.
The whole order is so cheap piece
of political pettifogging, and so trans
parent a ruse to catch votes, that it
only needs this explanation of it's
true character to expose it to the ridi-
Guile and contempt of every intelligent
citizen in the state. Ia

1t is singular thing. indeed, that
Gov. Lind should be campaigning the
state and taking to hims If credit for
the passage of the so-cafled Somer-
vile law, to tax foreign corporations
doing business within this state. In
doing so the governor pays an uncon-
scious, and therefore sincere, compli-
ment to the republican legislature
which passed the bill, to the repub-
lican auditor and to the repub-
lican secretary of state, who recon-
mended it in their biennial reports, and
to the republican policy, which has con-
sistently and continuously given itself
to the adoption of just such measures
ever since it came into power, forty
years ago. If there is any political
significance in the pa ssage of the
Somerville bill it is in the fact that the
governors recognized representative
on the floor of the senate, Senator
Stockwell, was the. most violent and
uncompromising opponent Of the bill
Senator Stockwell is at present the
fusion nominee for congress in the
fifth district, having been selected for
that place, like every other fusion
nominee, at the direct instigation of
Gov. Lind himself. Throughout the
session Of 1899 Senator Stockwell was
admittedly and avowedly the govern
or's mouth-piece in the upper body of
the legislature, and frequently chair
man of the democratic caucuses, which
were held to discuss and consider varf-
Gus measures pending. Had Gov. Lind
been such an advocate as he now pro-
fesses to be of the Somarville law it
would have been an exceedingly simple
and easy task for him to have called
off the opposition of Senator Stock
well to the Somerville bill and to have
given 1t the support of the democrats
in the senate. Instead of doing so,
however, he gave Senator Stockwell
his moral support in opposition to the
bill by at least refraining from inter-
ference. and the most violent attacks
upon the bill when it was under dis
cussion in the various stages of it's
consideration before that body were
made by Senator Stockwell, who de-
clared that "if this bill passed and be-
comes law it will be deliberate rob-
berry of 100000 a year taken from the
legitimate business men of the state"
The democratic party must be hard
p.
up indeed for campaign material when
it will take up law that was orig
inally recommended by two republican
state officials, passed by republican
House of Representatives, concurred
in by republican senate, and forced
to its enactment in spite of the opposi-
ton of the democrats, and parade such
bill as something distinctly demo-
cratic and something of which the gov
ernor himself is proud and for which
he claims all credit. AS a matter of
fact the governor is entitled to the
credit for the passage of the Somer-
vile bill upon exactly the same theory
that the little boy gave credit in his
composition when he said: Pins has
saved thousands of peoples lives by
their not swollering thsms

WOMAN
- LIKE a DELICATE
MUSICAL INSTRUMENT

In good condition she is sweet and lovabie,
and sings life's song on joyful harmonious
string. Out of order or unstrung, there is
discordance and unhappiness. Just as there
is one keynote to all music so there is one key
note to health. A woman might as well try
to fly without wings as to feel well and look
well while the organs that make her woman
are weak or diseased. She must be healthy
inside or she can't be healthy outside. There
are thousands of women suffering silently all
over the country. Mistaken modesty urges
their silence. While there is nothing more
admirable than modest woman, health is
of the first importance. Every other con-
sideration should give way before it. Brad
