John G. Norm Passes Awav.

The many friends of John Norm were
shocked to hear that he had passed the
portals of death last Friday. Deceas-
ed had been i'll for some time last
summer, but seemed to regain his
health and went to work again. His
last illness was short.
John was born in Sweden March 6.
1858. In 1866 he came with his par
ents to America. The family settled
in Goodhue county, where they re-
mained for two years. In 1868 they
came to this county and settled on a
farm in town of Colfax. Here John
grew up to manhood. For the last
Fl years he has been resident of
Willmar, being most of the time en-
ployed in the machinery business, He
was genial, good-natured man who
made friends everywhere: He leaves
to mourn his death wife and two
children; two brothers, W. L. Norm
of Willmar and A. E. Norm of
Grand Forks, N. D.; one sister, Mrs.
Henchein Of Lake Andrew; and his
aged parents, who reside on the old
homestead in Colfax. @' '=> -@1~<-'7

assigned no reason. C. A. Leopold
and John Dobson took carload Of
household goods ond horses to Aitkin
county last Wednesday,. Geo. Dob
son of Atwater, the man who accident
ally shot himself in the arm a while
ago, called on his brother John last
Tuesday. Glad to see him around
again. C. J. Lynne and A. c.. Hoo
jen from Glarkfeld were around here
lately looking for land. We believe
they found some that suited them, and
they may be back soon to close the
deals. ..... Ed Crossett of Montevideo
stopped at Larson's place Wednesday
night on his way up north, where he
has q nice farm. The Gazette states
that a carload of corn was shipped
from Priam. That is mistake. No
corn has been shipped from here so
far, but we hope that many carloads
will 60 out before spring. Minnesota
is o. X. for corn, and the vicinity of
Priam is especially adapted for it.

The New Terminal Elevator.

Yesterday q TRIBUNE reporter made
tour OF inspection through the new
elevator lately erected for the Minne-
sofa q Western Grain Co. The
building has capacity OF sc, 900 bush
els, and Ia intended to be used for
cleaning and mixing grain in transit.
On the lower floor are three large
cleaning machines, one for wheat, one
Tor flax and one for cleaning and cut
ting the small ends of grains of oats.
The cars are backed into the buildinp
and unloaded by means of an auto
matte steam shovel in from fifteen to
twenty minutes. After being cleaned
and mixed the grain is loaded back
on the car with a double automatic
spout. Large pipes run from each
cleaner and carry the dust and refuse
into the frebox under the boiler!
where 1t serves as fuel. The machin-
cry is driven by a l0O-horse engine of
the Sioux City COrliss type When
the plant is running at its full capa-
city 900 bushels of grain can be un-
loaded, cleaned, mixed and reloaded
in day. The company operates 176
elevators in Minnesota, both the Da-
kOtas and Iowa, and the grain from
all these elevators is expected to pass
through the Willmar elevator. The
elevator is lighted with about 80 elec-
trio lights connected with the munich
pal plant. Speaking tubes, electric
signal system, water connections and
other appliances for safety and con-
venience complete the furnishing of
this model plant. 1t is an enterprise
to which the citizens of Willmar may
point with pride.
7. b. Hagen, travelling superinten-
dent for the company, was in the city
yesterday. He stated that the compa-
ny is now prepared to buy all kinds
OF coarse grain including corn in ear
or shelled from farmers. The compa-
ny will soon have feed mill in oper-
alton. 1t will handle all kinds of seed
grain. The local manager is J. E.

When you want a good, long, satis-
flying smoke don't take any chance by
getting an unknown brand; buy
Great Northern Club cigar, manu-
factured by F. w. Ferguson of Will

by skilled union workmen, and has an
established reputation. Ferguson be-
lieves in keeping up the standard of
his brands, so that each cigar smoked

Will Connect The Lines,

The Union Telephone company he Id
an important meeting at the Harrison
creamery yesterday, being in session
from ten O'Clock throughout the day
The proposition to divide the territory
In the county with the Kaadiyohi Co.
company with the main line of the rail-
road as dividing line was rejected.
"A good deal of company business was
transacted relating to finances of the
main and branch lines of the company.
Ihe most important business transac-
ted was the acceptance of the follow
Ing proposition from P. j. Haley,
president of the Kandiyohi Co. compa-
ny:
"That the lines OF the Union Telephone CON-
pany and those of the KandiyOhi Co. company
be connected, and that the shareholders and
renters in each company shall have free SER
vice over the lines Of the other; that the Union
company shall connect with the North eStern
long distance lines at Atwater and shall have
Ten cents messenger and switch fee from the
northwestern for each message received and
also twenty per cent of all toll business on the
northwestern originating at Atwater, also
meet with the Willmar Exchange and be
charged five cents switching fee for each
message
From the standpoint of immediate
advantage to the shareholders of the
cooperative lines the results of the
combination will probably be salts
factory, but it remains to be seen how
it will affect the future development of
the cooperative telephone system in
county. The anxiety of the Kandiyo-
III County company managers to make
an agreement with the cooperative
lines, we haye been told, was mainly
because it would relieve them from an
obligation to build lines through the
same territory, which would have to be
operated at loss. Had the cooper
ative company refused connections
with the stock company lines, tits like
~ that it would have forced the latter
to ultimately re-organize on co-opera-
tive lines. Such a result would be to
the advantage of the people who are
paying for the service, even if not
pleasing to those working for salaries
or dividends.
