The River Falls Academy.

The River Falls Academy was built
by stock company composed of 65 of
the leading citizens and early settlers
of the town. The amount of stock
subscribed originally was $2360-236
shares at $40 a share. The heaviest
subscriber was G. w. Pratt, who took
% shares. G. b. Cox and William
Powell each subscribed for % shares,
N. N and O.. S. Powell each for Is
shares, Joel Foster for II, Lyman
Powell for 10, and others for smaller
number The academy was built in
the fall of 1856, on lots donated by
n. n. and o. S. Powell, and finished
with the exception of the upper room
about the 18th Of Novemb Der Of that
year. The trustees offered the use of
the building to Benjamin Wilcox, A.
NJ, and invited him in a resolution,
''to take charge Of the River Falls
Academy as principal and that the
use of the building be rendered TO him
free of rent charge for the term Of
three years, and that he be authorized
to collect and receive all the proceeds
of tuition of pupils as compensation
for his services; provided he shall not
use the said building for other pur-
poses than those needed for instruc-
tion of pupils" Mr. Wilcox accepted
the proposition of the board of trus-
tees, a prospectus of the school was
published and the first term was
opened about the first of December,
1856, the lower story of the building
only being finished for occupancy.
Mr.. Wilcox finished his three-year

Z. B. Munday, lawer of Henrietta,
Tex, once fooled grave-digger. He
says; "My brother was very low with
malarial fever and jaundice. | per-
suaded him to try Electric Bitters,
and he was soon much better, but con-
tinued their use until he was wholly
cured. / am sure Electric Bitters
saved his life" This remedy expels
malaria, kills disease germs and puri-
fies the blood; aids digestion, regu-
lates liver, kidneys and bowels, cures
constipation, dyspepsia, nervous dis
eases, kidney troubles, female com
plants; gives perfect health. Only

An anomalous condition arises here
and in many other localities -conse-
quent upon the practical failure of the
potato crop. Potatoes at a dollar
bushel is curious experience to the
people of this part of the country
where the crop is generally so large
the farmers who raise them have
trouble in disposing of them at prices
In any way remuneratiye. This local
ity is famous for the quality and
quantity of potatoes raised here, and
they form an important part Of the
bill Of fare Of the people. At dollar
. bushel for poor potatoes many are
-i9clined to dispense with them and
are looking for substitute. A few
localities report fair crop Of potatoes.
The Grantsburg Journal says Burnett
county has an abundance and invites
hungry folks who have money to
pay-to come up and get good square
meal of the customary pabulum of
the people of that county, which the
Spring Valley Sun correctly states is
not worth Is cents bushel for food
value contained. North Dakota has
good potatoes, but the state generally
produces only enough for home con-
sumption. Manitoba has a good crop.
Potatoes are bulky article, the in
trinsic value of which for food is small,
and when shipped long distance the
freight costs more than the tubers are
worth for food. At price approx
mating dollar a bushel potatoes are
a pretty costly article Of provender,
and at that price may be considered
more Of luxury than a common arti-
Gle of general use.

term as agreed upon and at the ter
mination of this time the contract
was renewed for year. The school
appears TO have been successful during
these four years succeeding its open
ing under the direction of Mr.. Wilcox,
but about the beginning of the school
year of 1861 the trustees were not in
harmony among themselves or were
out Of confidence with the manage
ment, fact which is evident from
the tenor of resolutions offered on the
21st of October, 1861. One of these
resolutions offered the use of the
building for the fall term to Mr.. Will
cox il he would pay rent at the rate of
one dollar scholar. This motion did
not carry, but another was passed
authorizing the president and secre.
tary to secure teacher in place Of
Mr.. Wilcox. Yet it seems that Mr..
Wilcox taught the school for part of
this year. He was succeeded by L. B.
Taft, graduate Of Brown University,
who taught two terms.
Nov. %, 1862, at meeting of the
stockholders it was voted to give the
use OF the academy to the school dis
trict. From Dec. /, 1862, the house
was used by the district and free
school was maintained there, although
the corporation held possession OF the
property until 1865. In 1860 the trus-
tees reported TO the Secretary of State
that the property was worth $4,000
lots valued at $1,000; apparatus at $500
and building, at cost, $4700. July II,
1865, the trustees offered to sell the
property to the district for $500, the
amount to be paid by installments Of
$500 year, the first installment to be
paid March /, 1866, on which date the
district accepted the proposition and
paid $500 down. At this time the
Academy Corporation was In debt in
the sum Of $S23.63. The first teacher
at the academy under the control Of
the school district was A.. I'll. Weld,
who had charge Of the district school
while it was held in the little public
school house in the eastern part Of
the village. Teachers Of the school
who succeeded Mr.. Weld up to the
time OF the burning of the academy,
Sept. 20, 1879, were:-A. P. Weld, Rev.
Mr.. Higgins, R. L. Reed, Rev. Mr..
Miller, E. S. Reed, Geo. B. Elliott.
Miss Emma Levings, Benjamin Bur

The Hudson Produce Company,
with Heman Hutchins as manager, Is
shipping out potatoes and cabbages
this week which the company raised
here on leased lands. Cabbages are a
fair crop for the season and potatoes
will net good profit per acre, because
Of the high price. Mr.. Hutchins is
also attending to the demands OF the
cucumber patch, gathering and pick
ling the fruit. The cucumbers are
sorted according to size. A crew Of
women are attending to the cucumber
business. The company has agents at
Spring Valley, Ellsworth, Beldenville
and Prescott in this county, where
produce is purchased and shipped but
at these places the main business is
the purchase Of eggs and butter
They have forty acres Of land near
Beldenville which is planted to gener-
al garden truck-onions, beets, car
rots, parsnips, etc. The business done
at River Falls is considerable; besides
handling the product Of the leased
lands here they buy from the farmers.
The weekly payroll Of employees here
ranges from $125 to $3.50. This COM
pany with b. L. Grant Of Hudson as
principal push with headquarters and
cold storage plant at Hudson, has op.
Grated a ranch here for raising pro-
duce and an Office and warehouses for
buying farm produce for the past five
years with Heman Hutchlns as man
ager. The ranch at Beldenville is
engineered by James Clonts.
