Has Historical Value.

The large book OF maps, called At
las and Directory OF Marshall
County, published by the Warren
Sheaf, has been received. 1t is a fine
work, which is very useful for all who
are interested in Marshall county,
whether living inside or outside the
county. Each piece of land is mar
ked with the owners name. and even
the spot where the house stands is
indicated. Churches, school houses,
post Offices, roads and section and
quarter lines, are given. The book
is very cheap, and every farmer
ought to have it in his book collec-
tion, as it will for all time to come
point out the spot where SO many Of
our pioneers established their homes
and begun the struggle of life in
earnest, and where for years they
were engaged in the great work of
developing the country. The book
has historical value, and this alone
ought to be enough to induce every
farmer to become the owner Of the
book.

COUNTY SUMMARIES MADE UP FROM
REPORTS OF CLIMATE AND CROP
CORRESPONDENTS.
NORTHERN SECTION.

KITTsON COUNTY.-Rain on the 1st.
following the one on the 25th, soaked
the soil we'll. Four-ffths of the
wheat and one-third Of the oats are
seeded.
MARsHALL.-Rains on the 29th and
very heavy rains on the LIST, have
delayed seeding, Most farmers have
a little wheat sown, though prob
ably only about fourth OF the crop
is sown. Barley, flax and oats will
have to be seeded in place Of wheat.
PoLK.-Heavy rains in the middle
of the week. Water is standing in
many fields. and little or no seeding
is done yet. 1t is getting very late
for seeding wheat.
RED LAKE.-Ralns in the middle OF
the week, with a very heavy shower
on the evening of the 1st. accompan-
led by a gale OF wind, which was de-
structive to many partly finished
buildings. A little wheat has been
seeded.
NORMAN Very little seeding has
been done during the week. Only
one day with weather fair enough
for seeding. The western part Of the
county is full of water. Heavy rain
and high wind on the first, with a
little hail. Many have not seeded
any wheat yet, and the wheat area
will be greatly reduced because of
the lateness OF the season.
cLAY.-Seeding was going on nice
ly till the heavy rains of the night Of
the Both and May 1st, stopped all
work. Probably half the wheat is
seeded in the western half of the
county, while III the eastern part
seeding is we'll advanced.
BECKER. Wheat, barley and oat
seeding are well advanced, though
on the loWlands little seeding is done
yet. Heavy rain on the 1st. Early
sown wheat is coming up, but slowly
on account of the cold weather.
HUBBARD. The ground is in good
condition as regards moisture. All
the early seeded wheat is up and
looking well.

THIS FERTILE VALLEY.
photographic Investigations in the
Red River Valley of minnesota J,
and North Dakota.

The Red River of the North and it's
Valley occupy a unique position
among the streams and valleys of
the United States. Collecting the
waters from between the two great
northern arms Of the Mississippi
system, this river takes it's course
almost directly north, uniting with
numerous streams draining the lake
region OF central Canada, and finally
Hudson Bay through Lake
Winnipeg and the Great Nelson
River system.
The Red River Valley, besides
bringing the Arctic slope for a dis
tance of over two hundred miles
within the United States represents
an equally unique position among
the agricultural districts OF the west.
It is safe to say that no equal area
within the four northern states, ~
ing on the Great Plains. Immediately
west Of the ninety meridian,
possesses more productive soil OF.
has such a promise of rapid future
development. The Red River Valley,
originating at Big Stone Lake with
a width of only a few miles, spreads
it's Y shaped valley northward in a
broad level plain reaching a width Of
no less than seventy or eighty miles
at the International boundary. The
Red River of the North takes it's
course down the middle of this al
most fat valley, one OF the most
tortuous streams for it's length in
America. The Valley is not a valley
of erosion, but the bed OF an ancient
glacial lake built up by lacustrian
deposit to a thickness of from thirty
to seventy feet. The streams repre-
sent the very youngest type OF river
development. Indeed, on either side
OF the main stream, large areas lie
with such gentle slope that definite
drainage channels have been unable
to develop; and the heavy clay soil,
with the impervious clay beneath
preventing underground drainage,
has given rise to extensive areas
where the water stands late into the
summer months, unless artifcially
drained.
The Red River of the North has

The Newcomb Ditching rlachine.

The NeWcOmb Ditching rlacl1ine.
The above cut is representation
OF the Newcomb Ditching Machine,
the largest open ditcher on earth.
This machine is operated by two
large eapstans, using 1900 feet OF
one-inch steel cable, the entire outfit
complete weighing 79S0O lbs,
making three car loads. It will cut
a ditch { feet wide at top, Is inches
at bottom, 3 feet deep, and will
go into an old ditch and cut it from
2 1-2sto 3 feet deeper, or will cut
through heavy sod and willow brush.
Will work where there is lots OF wa
ter and mud, or where it is dry. The
bulk Of the dirt is removed three feet
from the edge Of the ditch.
It only costs about 9 cents per cu-
bic yard to cut a ditch with our ma
chine, while to dig the same kind of
a ditch by hand would cost from Is
to 1S3cents.
During the season of 1901 about
80 miles OF ditch in Marshall, Kitt-
son and Polk counties. were cut, and
as yet no complaint has been made
about any Of this work.
The machine is owned and opera
ted by Newcomb Bros, with head
quarters at Stephen Minn., Mr.. P. p.
Newcomb being the general manager.
.Fhey are now ready to enter into
contracts for work for this season,
"a price Of about Sc cents per rod.
In view Of the great need of drain
age in this section Of the country,
there should be no difficulty it keep
ing several machines busy the entire
season.

WEEKLY CROP BULLETIN.
Minneapolis, Mimi. May g..
WEEK ENDING MONDAY, NAY 5,
! GENERAL CONDITIONS.

The nights during the week were
cool for the season. Rains, locally
heavy, were general in the state on
the 1st; general in eastern and
southern portions on the 2nd, and
general except in the extreme north
on the 3rd. On the night OF the 3rd,
the rain storm in the southern tier
OF counties was one OF the heaviest
known in ten years, causing damage
to rail and wagon roads, bridges
and fields. On the LIST there were
high winds, with thtfnderstorms,
and in some places a little hail.
The rains in the Red River valley
have soaked the ground so thatfarm
work in Marshall, Polk and Norman
counties has been practically at a
standstill, and very little seeding
has been done SO far. The season
for seeding whea6 is so far advanced
that the advisability Of seeding
barley, oats and fax instead of
wheat is being considered. In Kilt
son Co., wheat seeding is well ad-
vanced, and oat seeding is a third
finished. In Clay Co. half the wheat
is seeded in western portions, and
considerably more farther east. In
the southern two-thirds Of the state
the soil is in splendid condition.
The early sown grains are showing
nicely in the fields, and the latest
sown are terminating we'll. The
estimate OF che damage by the dust
storms OF April 10th and 18th was
probable exaggerated at the time,
though it is now said that where the
seed was broadcasted, the stand is
thin, while that put at a uniform
depth by drilling has resulted in a.
good and even stand. In central
southern counties where the dust
storms were the Werst, q few fields.
will have to be seeded to other crops.
Flax is being seeded generally, and
the earliest sown is coming up. Po-
tato planting is going on favorably.
Preparations for corn planting con-
tinue, and a little corn is already in
the ground. Pastures are green,
and few are affording a good sup
ply of feed. but most of them need
warmer weather. Glover and tim
othy passed through the winter
safely. Plums are in blossom. and
apple trees will soon be in bloom.

Governor LaFoIIette Sound on Taxation.

While the assessors of the state OF
Wisconsin were in session. in Madison
the past week, the Governor addressed
them. We take the following para
graph which conveys in unspoken
terms his position on taxation, as
follows:
In government. gentlemen, that
is based upon equal rights, equal
responsibilities, equal burdens. it is
fundamental that you must have
equal and just taxation. Take as
your cardinal principle, take as the
creed which you will follow to the
letter, equal and exact justice to all
men, to all interests favorS tC
none. That will aid to give you good
government and it is good government
that all good citizens are seeking.
We would like to ask the readers OF
the REPORTER if his position on the
tax question is not an equitable and
fair one? If you agree with him, as
we do, see that you send delegates tC
the county convention that will vote
your sentiment on that question.

Explanations Fail TO Explain.

No amount of explaining can con-
vince the people that the papers which
have accepted payment for subscrip-
tiOnS III this way have not sold them
selves. What is the difference
whether man sells himself for extra
ordinary business favOrS or for cash?
When the league buys a few hundred
dollars worth of subscriptions of d
paper it is because they expect that
paper to perform certain services
that is where the value comes in, and
of course the paper will expect to give
value received. The subscriptions are
Of no value to the league unless the
paper publishes what the league wants
published. The newspaper man who
does not understand this is too stupid
for his class. In fact, most of them
do understand it, and when they take
the leagues money there is an implied
if not an actual contract to do the
leagues bidding with it's editorial
columns. They also understand full
we'll that the money they thus receive
does not come from philanthrOpists,
with the sole object of assisting
struggling printers to more prosperous
conditions, but rather from men who
have an object in deceiving the people
and influencing legislation. Is it
any better than Undergraduates

Brother Carpenter is off the Trolley.


From Waupaca Record.
A fair minded" Democrat has been

In the first place, we want to correct
Brother Carpenter in the statement
in the above item that we are not a
fair minded Democrat, = but a true
blue Republican and always have been
since we have been old enough to have
any politics. We also want tC
reiterate that we are in favor OF
Governor r. NJ. LaFollette's re-nom,
inatiOn and reelection. Our long
acquaintance and intimate relations
with him gives us a knowledge of him
that perhaps our friend Carpenter. OF
the Record" does not possess. if he
did he would not be using his columns
against him. We can say for him
that he is trHe to the party which
placed him in his present position and
from the fact that he did everything
in his power to bring about the re-
forms promised the people in hi
party platform, he is now opposed by
those in the party who were not true
to the party platform in which they
promised the people reform legisla tior
on taxation. The unfaithful are the
ones who have organized the "Stal
wart League" for the purpose OF
opposing the Governor and hoodwink
ing the people. We believe they will
fail in their efforts "becauSe" there il
nothing in the eleventh floor conten
ton that is ideal; but to the contrary
their political methods are unfair
debasing. and a disgrace to their party
and state. We are sorry to learn thai
our brother publisher will use hi!

The Sentinel's desire for harmony
is shown in it's present attitude on the
circuit judgeship question in Milwau-
kee. Judge Tarrant was appointed
recently by Gov. LaFollette to succeed
Judge Elliot, deceased. He is making
an enviable record, is not partisan or
biased; the bar have met and almost
unanimously endorsed him; the demo-
cratic county committee have met and
agreed in the interests of a nOn-parti-
