completed. County Superintendent

lated the young ladies upon the honors
they..shad won and the patrons of the
school not only upon the successful
school they have had during the year

mental side of the young people
education is being we'll advanced the
spiritual side is not neglected.
AS evidence of the esteem and appre-
citation of the excellent work of the
teacher, r. R. Frazier, his students
presented him with beautiful pre-
sents. All pronounced the exercises
most interesting and inspiring, and
resolved to maintain the school on its

GREAT WESTERN OUTWITTED
Shrewd Move of the Chicago & North.
Yves ern Road,

Yves er1 R0ao,
A dispatch from Redwood Falls
says:
Another surprise has developed in
railroad matters in this county. The
Chicago & North Western surveyors,
instead of being called in after they
completed their survey from Morgan
to Marshall, and after the Great West
ern surveyors left the field, are now
engaged in running a bow line from
Tracy east to Sleepy Eye or Evan,
coming as far north as within two
miles of Wabasso, and then proceeding
east by south directly alongside of the
survey of the Chicago Great Western
railroad AS rapidly as the surveyors
make the preliminary run and get off
a farm, the company has County At
torney Frank Clague on the ground
buying the right of way. A maximum
of $40 per acre is allowed, and where
the owner of the land is willing to
accept this he is asked to sign a con-
tract, and is paid 81 down, with the
understanding that the balance is to
be paid when the deed is asked for by
the company.
By doing this the North Western
forces the Great Western to make an
other survey from point two miles
east of Wabasso to Sleepy Eye, for the
reason that the North Western has the
option on the right-of way called for
in the preliminary line of the Great
Western.
The Northwestern surveyors con-
tend that the new line will be much
better for freight hauling than will
the present line, which calls for con-
tinual climb from the time of leaving
Sleepy Eye until Tracy is reached.

In April we went to see DR.. Downing,
the Chicago specialist who visits Mankato,
We talked with several of his patients who
were waiting all of whom were improving,
many after other doctors had failed to re-
lieve. DR. Downing examined my son and
said he could help him. We decided to
take his treatment in spite of the failure
of other treatments
Now. five weeks'after beginning treat
ment he can stand straight walk and run,
has no pain, can work and has improved
in every'way. i
We are much pleased and recommend
Dr. Downing to all who suffer with any
disease, no matter who has failed to help
them. DR. Downing 5oes not treat cases
which be believes can not be cured, but
he can cure many cases which other doc
tors fail to benefit.

How are these figures for state with

products Of Oregon for 1900 were, as
nearly as can be ascertained, as follows
Products OF farm, orchard and range

Of factories, s6O,0OO,OOO; product Of
mines, s4,l55, 600; product Of fisheries,

amounted to over $l0,0OO,000. Individ-
ual deposits in our national banks in
September were nearly $l2,0O0,000 in
all banks probably over $4,000, 900.
The jobbing trade Of Portland amount
cd to $ll0,000,000. The bank clearings
Of Portland were sl07, ,OO0,0OO The
lumber cut OF tho state was worth near
