LAND OF CHEAP HAY.

n REPORT comes from the
"A southern part of the state
that many dairymen are sell
ing their cows because the
price Of feed and fodder is
too high to make buttermak-
ing profitable on the farm.
This leads us to think that the
future dairy section of the state
will embrace such northern
counties as Beltrami. This sec.
ton is particularly adapted for
the raising of grasses to feed the
cows that furnish the butter.
There is enough hay going to
waste on the big marshes and
meadows of this county to feed
half the cows of the state this
winter. 1t costs more to gather
and make hay here than in the
southern part of the state; but
considering the price of land, it
does not cost one.quarter as much
to raise it. The farmer who
raises hay on $50 per acre land
is badly handicapped by his
northern neighbor with cheap

A prominent traveller who
knows a few things about farm
ing, recently said to us: q have
noticed in your county where the
wild grass had grown rank, and
in winter when covered with
snow, that when the snow was
scraped away the stock ate it
with as much avidity as they did
the cured hay. We're it not for
the snowfalls, [ believe cattle
would subsist as well i'm North

wild grass is more nutrltious and
produces more milk to the ton
than in Iowa, Nebraska or the

rection, prosperous farmers will
be all around us.

WHERE GAME WARDENS ARE
UNPOPULAR.
BY A. M. GREELEY.

All Shutdown was present. A large
addition has been built to the Pioneer
hotel, and in honor OF the completion
of this temple of rough boards and
tar paper, grand ball is given. AS
usual, there are seven men to one
woman present: but as the men find
attraction in an adjoining barroom,
the dispreportion Of sex is not notice
able.
The night is still young as Herb
Spencer stands in silent corner of
the room, savagely pulling his mus
tache and glaring sullenly at the
happy throng. He had come this
evening as a stranger, but in the genial
warmth OF a frontier ballroom, social
barriers soon melt. An old settler
found ladies no more attractive than
he. In fact, his graceful feet and
handsome face made him the hero OF
the hour. Then suddenly a change
came, and from the center Of popular
ity he found himself flung to the outer
edge OF disrepute. Several ladies had
refused him with brutal GOODNESS; 9TH
ers were more considerably ZEN
gagged. !"

rep travels by wireless biography.
When left prison I said would go
into the wilderness and begin new
life. But even these strangers know
that am jail bird as we'll as if /
had brought along my striped suit

He puts forth a timid hand and
stops the passing proprietor OF the
hotel.
See here, landlord, some one has
been telling bad stories about me,
amt they?''
"Guess that's right pretty tough
ones. .
They are not treating me right. I
know I am just out Of prison, but I
have served my time. I am starting
out to lead a right life. And now
when need encouragement, you peo-
pie snub me and try to keep me
down.
The burly landlord says apologet-
ically: Mister, there has been a.
wrongt ip here. I am glad you ex-
planned, for I was about to order you
out Of my house as untitled to 'sociate
with us people. Y on know when yon

you up wrong, and when folks asked
me what you was, I let on that You

with the folks.
The landlord soon squared things,
and Herb was again the hero of the
evening.

FRIGHTENED BY FALSE FIRE.

Ut is announced from Crooks
i ton and in the ST. Paul Dis
patch that Senator Grindeland
has concluded to withdraw from
the race for the republican nom
ination for congress in the new
Ninth district He is said to be
doing this in the interest OF Mr..
Stevenson, who is an old friend
OF his, and is prompted TO it by
the announcement that S. G.
Comstock Of Moorhead will posi-
lively be candidate.
There ars two sides to every
question, and it is open to cues
ton whether Valentine will stay
in the fight If Comstock
does; and it is also open to ques-
ton whether anybody but Street
would make much Of figure in
the northern part Of the district
in cutting off votes from Grinde-
land and Stevenson. Yet Com
stockis better known nStreet,
and has the advantage Of con-
gressional service, though he was
80 + r Z K ~ -
beaten once by Halyorson in the
hey-day Of populism.
Perhaps the senator has been
frightened by false fire. He
should not be. Conditions are
such that he should not be afraid
to risk something for the party.
But he is prudent man, and
would perhaps like to have some
more sanguine gentleman make
the fight in this close district. Il
ii comes to a contest between
Gomstock, Stevenson, Street
and Valentine, Street would
stand as good show as anybody
of winning out,in the primaries,
though he has other enterprises
on hand, aud has no wish to make
the fight. But Beltrami county

what view may be taken Of the

sponsble Gossip.
New Yoek, Oct. 17.-Summarizing
the reports regarding the health of
the king, t1e London correspondent OF
The Tribune cables:
There has been a marked revival Of
the unfavorable reports regarding the
kings condition, but it is irresponsi-
bic gossip, based on hearsay evidence.
The courts functionaries and hospital
surgeons cannot learn from any au-
thoritative source that the king is ma
terially worse than he was before he
left London for Germany.
There has been a great increase in
talk in London clubs, but the facts re-
lating to the kings health are not of
a serious nature.
Preparations for the coronation are
in progress and the king is taking a
direct and hearty interest in every de-
tail. Those who have been in consul
tation with him report that his voice
is strong and that he shows no symp-
toms of any incurable malady His
mind is clear, his orders are explicit
and, except for a perceptible increase
of irritability, his manner is the same
as it was during the early months of
his reign.
Current reports respecting the
kings declining health are without
doubt premature and unauthorized
The king will speedily come to London
and silence the alarming rumors, and
will convert the return of the Duke of
Cornwall and York from Canada into
an imperial function.

Willemstad, Island of Curacao, Oct.
17.-Advices received here from Mar

Ian troops on the Guajira peninsula
are in a condition of utter confusion.
Robberies and outrages by the Indians
continue. The entire Indian popula-
tion is against the Venezuelans and
the latter dare not leave their camps.
The Indians are ambushing and kill
ing small parties. Decentralization is
spreading among the Venezuelan
troops and there is increasing sickness
among them. Four deserters from the
Venezuelan ranks were recently
caught and shot. The Venezuelans at
Duajira are in no condition to assume
the aggressive against Colombia,
hence there is little likelihood of fight
ing. The Tachira frontier is still
quiet, the mountains preventing active
operations, If any were contemplated.
Fresh troops are being moved toward
Guajira and Tachira, Venezuela, for
the purpose, it is maintained, of pre-
serving quiet on the frontier.
