Worthy of Favorable Comment.

A special Easter edition of the Will
mar Tribune has been received at this
Office and is worthy of favorable CON-
ment. 1t has handsomely illustrat-
ed cover design in colors. There are
"a pages, giving a general write-up of
the town of Willmar, which is the
county seat of Kandiyohi county, a
thriving place of $500; it has ten
churches, four public schools, one
seminary and no saloons. It is illus
trated with a great many cuts of the
principal business places, schools,
court house, churches, business men,
etc. The edition is certainly great
credit to the editors and only those in
the same line of work can estimate the
labor it required. Thunder

One Of Pronounced Credit.

The Willmar Tribune came out with
a special Easter edition, at which the
fraternity can throw no eggs. The pa
per is illustrated with cuts of the il
lustrious citizens of the city of Will
mar including that of Editor Lawson
and his associate Forsberg. The
Tribune also presents the portraits of
some beautiful resident young ladies,
but neglects to say whether they are
engaged or not. The edition as re-
preventative in illustrations and write
up of Willmar and it's business is one
of pronounced credit to the Tribune.

lt'&A Beauty.

One of the finest Easter editions that
came to our exchange table, not even
excepting the twin city dailies, was the
Willmar Tribune, published at Will
mar, Mimi, by Victor E. Lawson. It
is replete with advertising: and devotes
a number of pages to write-up of
Willmar and its business, educational
and religious institutions. Also a
large number of we'll printed half
tones of the leading business and pro-
tessional men and women of the town.
All in all, it's beauty, both in make
up and composition, and is credit
to the town and it's editor ackson

Knocked Them Speeches..

We have just received copy of the
Willmar Tribunels Easter edition.
We can't say anything about it; Bro.
Lawson's enterprise and this magnif-
cent result of his push and ability to
get out special edition has all but
knocked us speechless. What do you
think of country paper of "a pages,
flied with an excellent write-up of it's
town, and containing about 25O half
tones, every one of which is we'll
printed? There are also some fifty
columns of special advertising and an
Illuminated cover. No need of us
saying anything; the paper speaks
for itself, it's publisher and its town.

inspection of grain. This law was
passed at the instance of the Minneso-
ia and Western Grain Co., wholesale
dealers in wheat, coarse grain, feed
and coal, which expects to erect a
large terminal elevator at Willmar.

Before state inspection and weigh
ing will be established at any point,
the companies or persons for whose
convenience it is established must bind
themselves to pay the difference in
cost to the state, if the fees collected
are insufficient to meet them. Thus no
additional cost is incurred to the
state. The officers of the Minnesota
and Western Grain Co. are G. a.
Christensen, president; John E. Stair,
secretary, and James V. McHugh,
treasurer, and it's general Offices are
located in the Corn Exchange build
