New Agent ut NiIImor.

David H. Williams, who for fifteen
years was connected with the st. Paul
& Duluth, eleven years as general y ard
master and four as agent at Duluth,
has been appointed agent at Willmar,
Minn., for the Great Northern. Soon
after the Northern Pacific absorbed
the St. Paul & Duluth Mr.. Williams
was transferred to Brainerd, where he
has been yardmaster ever since. He
resigned a few days ago, to take effect
April 2l. His family will remain in
Duluth for some time and then remove
to Willmar. Mr.. Williams enjoys
thedistinction of having been in charge
of the first relief train to reach Hipk-
ley after the forest fire had completely
destroyed the place in September, 1891,
and the survivors were without food
or shelter. He did great service at
that time, for which due credit is given
him in the official records of the great
|conf1agra gration.-Pioneer Press.

Al Old Citizen Gone.

Death has removed from our midst
one of the early residents of Willmar.
Last Thursday night, about ten
O'Clock, Wesley Burr spassed away,
after q lingering illness from Bright's
disease. Deceased was 40 years of
age. He had been in poor health ever
since his return from the Pacific coast,
but was able to be about in his Gus
tomary way until few weeks ago,
when the case developed serious symp-
toms.
Deceased was one of the most active
business men of Willmar, and was
identified with her interests eyer since
bOyhoOd. He was member of the
old firm of Burr & Dow, the first con-
dictionary store in the village, then
located on Pacific avenue. The
greater part of the time since he has
remained in the confectionery and
fruit business, which he successfully
conducted at different locations.
After retiring from the firm of Burr
& Johnson, he devoted the most of
his time to dairying, which he had
been carrying on for some years.
Last year he again entered into the
confectionery business, conducting
the Willmar Fruit Store on Fourth
street, but soon retired from active
business on account of failing health.
He was most energetic worker and
his genial disposition always won him
friends.
The deceased leaves a widow and
two sons, with whom the community
deeply sympathizes in their loss.
The funeral was held last Monday
afternoon at three o'clock, from the
residence, Rev. D. T. Booth ofhciat-
ino

J. J. Hill in Willmar.

President J. J. Hill, of the Great
Northern, and his party of officials
passed through Willmar Saturday
morning, en- route from Seattle,
WASH, to St. Paul. A stop of only
q few minutes was made here, the par
ty leaving about 10 o'clock. A num-
Der OF citizens were at the depot to
catch a glimpse of the railroad mag
nate about whom so much is now be-
ing said in the newspapers regarding
railroad deals. Hons. A. E. Rice and
L. O. Thorpe exchanged greetings
with him and the railroad king told
briefly of his flying trip from the
coast. The special train was sched-
uled to make the time from Seattle to
St. Paul in Al hours, but We learn that
the party arrived at their destination
at 1865 O'Clock, the actual time con-
sumed being 45 hours and so minutes.
The distance between the two cities is
1923 miles, This was record break
er of long distances, the usual time of
limited trains being 66 hours. Engi-
neers John Kilbain and Peter Olson,
with their fremen, composed the en-
gine crews, and relieved each other at
regular intervals. Accompanying
Mr.. Hill we're Vice Presidents Miller
and J. N. Hill, Chief Engineer Stevens
and Messrs. Edward Tuck and A. T.
French, stockholders. The train was
composed Of the presidents private
car, baggage car and an exception
ally strong engine. 1t is said that the
train attained as high speed at one
point as 81 miles an hour.

Newspaper Enterprise.

We neglected to say in our last issue
that the Easter edition Of the Willmar
Tribune was an excellent piece OF
country newspaper enterprise. It con.
sisted of twenty-four pages of we'll.
printed and interesting reading matter
and gave complete history Of the
city Of WillmAr. The Tribune is q

very best among our exchanges. r.

April 22-Dr. G.. A. Newman of
New London has made q number of
professional calls in Irving of late. (.
1.-THE East Irving parochial school
has temporarily closed on account of
the teachers illness. %. :. Several
Mamre people spent Sunday with Irv-
ing friends .... Two Pennock gentle
men were fishing at the lake recently.
Oscar Osberg, who has lately
returned from the West, seems we'll
pleased with the lands of Alberta, Can.
The land, he says, is mixed, prairie
and woodland, with the poplars pre-
dominating among the varieties of
trees. However, we learn from other
sources that the climate is very chilly
even in summer and that frost is to be
feared. ......P. T. Holgerson and fami-
ly departed q few days ago for the
Evergreen" state. %. The sermotor
at Fernden grinds feed at the rate OF
six sacks an hour, which is not q bad
record for q 12-foot mill. Here
after, when bran and shorts seem to
rise to q price per pound almost equal
to what is paid for wheat, it will be q
paying investment to buy windmill
and grind the whole grain for feed
This may be q new idea to some, but
a little mathematics and experience
will teach that it is loss to buy bran
or shorts at any price above SO pei
ton while wheat remains at about 81
per ton. 1T is reported that th<
game and fish warden appeared unex
pectedly at Green Lake recently. Two
parties were fined for illegal fishing
The game and fish laws should be en-
forced with more severity. If th,
amount of fish is to decrease during
the coming years as It has in the past
there will be no need Of q protective
law some 20 years hence. S z.5., ~ 7.

There is question whether the coun-
Gil may lawfully appropriate money
for street concerts. The TRIBUNE de-
sires to see the band flourish and pro-
gress, If it can secure sufficient patron
age from its friends among the public
spirited people of Willmar, but to take
money from the public treasury for
such purposes the TRIBUNE is not in
favor OF, particularly in view of the
present condition OF the village treas
|ury and the need for the reduction Of
taxation.

REALTY MARKET.
Demand for Moderate Dwellings Can
Scarcely be satisfied.

Dealers In realty say that the market
is In a healthy condition, but that there
is no boom in real estate by any means.
Investors are seeking bargains from
which Is assured net income of per
cent In the minimum and that large
deals are not the rule Most OF the
business done Is in dwelling property
ranging from 1880 10 $1,000. and for
these there Is great demand greater,
Indeed, than can be supplied by the
dealers Realty concerns congratulate
themselves upon this steadiness of the
market in that IL is much more to the
advantage OF the city than would be
Eighty condition.
All the architects are kept busy on
previously made contracts and much
new small work. The building OF dwell
ings to fill the great demand for them
Is going on at rapid rate and many
hitherto vacant lots and large patches
Of real estate are being filled up with
neat cottages of brick, containing from
four TO eight rooms A notable feature,
too, Is that it scarcely matters how
small the house that is erected II Is
fitted up with modern conveniences as
much as possible. The force Of example
has much to do with this building en-
ergy. for many are encouraged to build
when residences are seen TO rise all
about them, Furnishers OF building
material are strengthening their forces
and working their plants to the utmost
in order to supply the demand, and
their energy Is preventing In great de-
gree what some time ago was feared
would prove to be a famine in con-
struction material.

SUNSHINE AFFAIRS.
Mr.. Moore Says He viii Spend Next
Five Months in Development.

In a conversation with a News"
reporter last evening, George c. Moore,
who represents the parties having the
option on the Sunshine Mining COM
pany's property, said that he expects
10 start force Of men at work In
about two weeks. He says some eight
or nine men win be employed for four
or five months in the development OF
the ore bodies Hitherto great deal
OF exploratory work has been done In
the arsenical ore, which requires roast
ing in order to eliminate the arsenic.
This cannot be done probably, how
ever as the ore is too low grade. Those
who look for anything sensational al

disappointed, as Mr. Moore does not in
tend to erect a mill until he has deveI-
oped the ore bodies quite extensively.

BUSINESS NOTES

The swelling events Of the past few
days in local financial circles empha-
size Enthusiastically the fact that we
are In the midst Of an era Of prosperity
unequaled In our previous history. The
increasing bank deposits, the enormous
advance In clearings over the same
days last year, the heavy transactions
In business and the best residence
realty, the widely extending operations
Of our strong fnanciers who are in
terested In the sugar industry, the de-
mand for labor, the advancing rents
for business quarters the scarcity OF
offices, the great number Of buildings
going UP all over the city--it would
be hard Indeed to find combination
OF circumstances more propitious and
promising. There are, in fact, but few
things lacking 10 bring again the ac-
tual boom conditions which existed
from 1889 to 1892. There is the same
speculative feeling rampant In the COM
munlty only as yet II seems to have
confined itself 20 gambling In mining
stocks, rather than in realty. As yet
we have not the spectacle OF boomers
laying out plats on Ensign Peak, rum
ming excursions 10 the alkali flats or
bestowing high sounding suburban IL
ties on the wheat fields below the city.
From such a recurrence OF real estate
madness. every one should pray that
the town may be protected. We are
in the midst OF prosperity, undoubtedly.
and the wise man will make the most
Of IL by keeping his head cool by re-
fusing to plunge into debt TO gamble
in stocks, and by taking advantage OF
the present sunshine to provide for the
rainy day that sooner or later must
inevitably come.
The dealings In local stocks during
the past week have not been very
numerous. Stocks have all held up TO
their previous stiff figures and some Of
them have attained new heights. Utah
sugar Is quoted at Sl72 20 bid with none
to be found. Home Fire has been in
active demand but Is also scarce. The
latest quotations are as follows.

Der Of furnaces in blast on May LIST

the unparalleled production.
