The season opens comparatively

in South Dakota, and about the same

be an unusually large per cent of flax
sown in Western Minnesota and east

Lake Crystal has two propositions to
put in local telephone system onefrom
the Citizens company of this city, and
one from Fairmont. The Union says
that Mr.. Graft of the Milling company
there has franchise for a telephone
as we'll as an electric light system,
but has offered to turn the telephone
matter over to the citizens there if
they desire to go ahead and improve
it. A meeting was held Monday night,
and committee appointed to look
the matter up. The Union says if the
citizens there conclude not to take up
the matter will be turned over to Mr.,
Graft. 1t strikes us that Lake Crystal
would be wise in following the ex-
ample of Mapleton and give fran
chise to the Citizens company of this
city. Not only would it then have a
good local exchange, but connection
with the central exchange in this city,
as well as all other points touched by
our company.

are pretty well worked out They pro-
vide for three screws So separated that
anyone can work Independently. BY
using all three screws the ship could
develop great speed. from p 10 % knots
so that she could be listed as % knot
ship. But all three screws would be
used only In case OF emergency. For
the purpose OF making long voyages
only one screw would be used at time
u is estimated that this would give a
speed Of ten knots an hour. BY al
ternating the screws. the big craft
could make a voyage Of az least 10. 900
