Land sales in Clay, Wilkin and Otter
Tail counties set for July Is, 26 and q,
respectively. have been indefinitely post
poned by the state auditor. Mr.. Dunn
believes that because of the uncertain
crop conditions sale at that time would
be Improbable to farmers. Their hold
ings could not be increased and the profit
of the sales would go entirely to the
spectators. Heretofore the state land
sales have been in the timbered regions,
not affected by the crop. conditions, but
this year the land to be disposed of is on
the prairie, and many farmers have been
looking forward to the sale as an ex-
ceiient opportunity for them to enlarge
their farms. This would be manifestly
impossible at this time of drought and
grasshopper scares.

A MATTER FOR THE CITY
COUNCIL.

The City Council of Norfolk named
three of the present Board of Harbor
Commissioners; the City Council of
Portsmouth named two, making five
out of n total of seven members. The
Harbor commissioners are therefore,
the creatures of the City Councils. The
Councils are the guardians of the in
terests of their respective cities. 1t
is respectfully submitted that 1t is OF
paramount Importance to Norfolk and
tn Portsmouth that their accessibility
To the sea shall not be in anywise di-
unfinished. II is proposed by the Har-
Dor Commissioners to grant pcrinis-
sion for the construction OF coal
pier that will narrow the harbor and
Interfere with the traffic of this port
nov. and increasingly hereafter. The
City Councils should call halt on
their creatures in this matter. The
port gets nothing out OF the proposed
concession which goes beyond the out
rageous precedent. which was it's ONLY
Justification.
Tie Councils should DC called 10 consider
fhis matter. The proposed concession
amounts 10 surrender of local control of
the ports watorr0y. Are the Councils
willing to stand for this sort Of thing
In body they have named-and for
which they are responsible? Did the
Councils expect when they named the
Harbor Commission that it would hand
over the ports waterway to the Sec
rotary of War and the Norfolk and
Western Railway? 1t is up TO the
Councils 10 enter their protest in this
matter, or TO have the Commission
take chances with our sea going trade
that are fool-hardy. In return for per-
mission TO build a pier up to the Port
Warden's line. and so remove itself
from the Commissions jurisdiction. the
Norfolk and Western proposes to give
to the Harbor Commission written
Commissions consent. And this value
less promise. and the judgment of the
Secretary Of War. will then alone
stand in the way of the obstruction OF
our outlet to the sea. This is the
naked proposition. But for the fact
that this written promise" was not
on hand yesterday, this preposterous
concession, smacking of a bunco game,
would have been granted.
The Councils should call off the IIar-
Dor Commission, and with emphasis.
The matter is urgent and of vital mo-
ment, and action should be correspond

In the first place, TO be thing Of
beauty that eXcites the highest Thrills

fresh and stainless. 1t must not be
vocal of the fact that it has seen bet
ter days, nor must il excite a swelling

to suggest, therefore. that the shirt

And. look you. innovations in mas

Man loves comfort. Let him once gain
the right to the shirt-waist. and If he
does not go the length of the bathing
suit as the regular male costume, from
June TO September inclusive, it will be
no fault of his Revolutions never so

propaganda is really revolution. And
how are you going to connne your

This is free and q glorious coun-

he can and will do. Do we really want
the street cars full of ''cullies" in shirt

TO THE HARBOR COMMISSIONERS
WHAT DOES THIS PORT
GET OUT OF ITs

The disposition of the Board OF IIar-
Dor commissioners to permit further
blocking of the river at Lamberts
Point by the building of the proposed
coal pier by the Norfolk and Western
railway is both surprising and disap-
pointing. This disposition, 1t would
seem, could spring only from a mis-
apprehension of the needs OF this port
and disregard of it's best interests.
1t also implies forgetfulness of a lit
tie history in connection with the
building of the present piers.
: In 1883, when former Board of
Harbor Commissioners granted per-
mission for the construction of the
present piers, that action was regarded

A blank. save in one corner. where
Blooms painted rose and morning glory;
And yet the youth and maiden read,
In the dim light, an old, old story.
"How sweet 'twould be could we begin
The Happy New Year dear, together"
He reads: I'D smooth life's paths for you.
And shield you from its stormy weather.
Shrined in my heart since first We met,
No one can Ger be set above you.
[ love you!' And, with crimsoned cheek.
She reads the sentence Ger II love you!'
The chimes ring out-a year is dead
A year is born; and softly stirring,
The young folks read, the cat is purrng-
All seems the same as twas before
She slept; but ah: tbs only seeming;
Warm lips have kissed. two souls have met,
Two hearts of wedding bells are dream
