Building.
Mr.. G. Cogel, of Red Wing, has
been IN town for few days, looking
after matters on his large farm.
Hurrah! for we! The Village
Council contemplate taking i'm
mediate steps to secure a water
supply for fire purpose. Go ahead,
gentleman.
Mr.. W, L. Colyer is now enrolled
among our permanent residents, as
Mrs. Colyer and family have arrived
and taken up their residence in this
vicinity.
The "St. Paul & Pacific Elevators"
are now named "Dayidson's Ele7a-
tors" The old familiar St. Paul &
Pacific is being wiped off of every
thing which has heretofore borne the
title.
IMMENSE TRAFFIC.-Tuesday Moons
freight going west. left this station
with fifty-two loaded cars, and
Wednesdays train with fifty-fve.
The night freights east and west,
are heavily loaded. It requires six
freight trans per day to accom-
modate the traffic from Morris east.
Wharf.-The wheat market is as
usual very lively; prices are fair and
a little higher than last week. No
attention is paid to the list price on
grades. No. 2is quoted at 86 to 88.
No. l, 88 to 81. The receipts are on
the increase, and average from twenty
to thirty thousand per week.
Some people who think this coun y
is in the same township with the
North Pole, will doubtless think we
are "drawing it strong" to speak of
the sweet potato crop. However, very
fine swset potatoes we're grown in
this vicinity, the past season, on the
"Sutherland'' farm. DR.. Sutherland |
is so confident that good crop can
be raised, that he will plant quite a
large piece of land pext season, with
this vegetable.
The Board of Trade, last Monday
evening, met and considered the
advisability of voting the bonds to
aid the L, F. & D. r. R., at the COM
ing general election. There was very
little discussion and no opposition to
having the matter submitted to the
people at that time. r. @. Moore, S.
Larson and W. J. Munro were ap-
pointed as a committee to conduct
the campaign, with power to appoint
meetings in the different towns of
the county, and to call upon and
invite speakers to be present and
address the people on the sub
ject of aiding in the construction of
the road. il
F1REs.-Last Monday was bowler,
and don't you forget it. The wind
blew itself black in the face, and
raised things generally. Few, even
of the older inhabitants, ever ex-
perienced such a gale of wind. Un-
fortunately some lunstic, or criminal
ly careless scoundrel, started several
prairie fires, and the result was an
immense amount of damage.
A fire started in the town of Scott,
swept away every stack of wheat on
John T. GalVin's fa m. Mr.. Calvin,
together with P, Fl. Fitzgera d, hs d
5eve ty acres of grain burned in the
stack. The fire swept across breaking
and stubble; all efo-ts to fight it or
stay its progress proving futile. The
loss was partially covered by in
,urance.
One sitting of four stacks on A. G.
Smiths farm was also burned, at the
same time. Az there was no in
,urance, the loss will fall heavy on
Charley, who has worked hard and
for some time, and the loss
will be keenly felt.
