Miller, Tom Cramer and Ed Boyer,
all from Willmar dshed here Monday
evening and Tuesday forenoon. Ow-
ing to the delay of train, they did not
get out on the lake until O'Clock.
They considered time precious and
ordered supper to be brought out on
the lake. The refreshments braced
them up sufficiently to hold out till 10
p. M, at which time Messrs. Cramer
and Miller retired. Messrs. Sanford
and Boyer evidently thought life too
short to be spent in sleep during "bit-
ing'' season and concluded they would
fish all night, which they did with fair
success. In the morning Mr.. Sanford
received the following message:
'Willmar, Mimi, June3. r. A. San

The Authorities Have the Power.

The Authorities Have the Power.
The Raymond News appears to be
we'll informed in regard to blind.pigs
at Willmar, and suggests that the cit
liens of Willmar take the enforcement
of the law in their own hands. Peo-
pie of Willmar are inclined to hold
the city authorities responsible for the
enforcement of the law. There have
been some violations of the law, but
the change was so very much for the
better when the legalized rum shops
closed, that the people have as yet
not been disposed to critical. But
they expect the laws to be enforced
and if the city authorities do not use
the ample power entrusted to them, SO
much the worse for the authorities.

A petition is being circulated among
the property holders of the business
portion of the city asking that the city
authorities sprinkle the streets and
assess the cost thereof against the
abutting property. Before the coun-
Gil can consider this petition the sig

fore the city was organized the sprink-
ling was done by private subscription.
It is to be hoped that the matter will
be speedily arranged, as the flying
dust is detriment to the business

June 2.-The Noid-Elmquist wedding
was grand affair. The ceremony
was performed in the church, and sell
dom if ever before have so many peo-
pie been present at such an occasion
in the church. The reception at the
home of Mr.. and Mrs. John Mold,
parents OF the esteemed bride, was
voted by all present as splendid af-
fair. The happy couple will settle
down on their farm, known as the
Lonn farm, which the father has given
to his son, the bridegroom. They
will carry with them to their new
home q large number OF valuable
presents as mementoes of their we'd
ding day and of their many friends,
who all join in the heartiest congratu.
lations and wishes for their future
happiness. The readers ought to
keep in mind the midsummer festival
to be held under the auspices of the
Y. P. S. of the Lutheran church. It
is to be a real Swedish-American fes-
|tival. DR.. Carl Sundbeck, who is on
tour of study and investigation of
the condition OF the Swedes in Amer
lea, will be the speaker of the day.
He has promised to be present to see
how we celebrate this time-honGred
midsummer festival. DR.. Sundbeck
is a remarkable man. He studied for
the ministry and was ordained to that
high calling, serving the church faith
fully for several years. This he did
although he was wealthy man, who
could get along splendidly without 8
clergyman's small salary. But wher
the Grecian-Turkish war broke out
his inherited Viking blood began tc
boil in his veins and strange aspira
tions laid hold on him. He resigned
his charge and set out for the scene O.
war, entered the Grecian army as {
private and participated in many bat
les. He advanced rapidly and left ths
! war as q lieutenant, and was decorated
by the king of old Hellas for braver,
in battle. After his return he has tax
en- his degree as Doctor of Philosophy
managed his large farm, and mad
many trips to foreign countries with
er Swedes have emigrated. he ha
visited this country before and ha
written q book on America. His pres
ent trip is undertaken by appointment
of the crown. There is not in all Swe
den another man that takes so mucl
interest in his countrymen in thi
country as DR.. Sundbeck does. LIE
every Swede in the county come an
hear him. he can set aside probabl
only two days for this county.

Monday 81 tubs of butter were shipped
the largest shipment ever made from
our creamery. ."Ofside'' tells the
people through the Atwater Press that
Atwater paid three cents more per
pound for butter fat for April than
our creamery did, but he failed to tell
that last year our creamery paid lin
cluding the sinking fund) two cents
more per hundred pounds of milk
than Atwater paid. That is the only
fair test. To illustrate: one butter
maker takes in 100 pounds of mill
containing four pounds of butter fat
he marks the test at three. BY care
lessness in separating he loses half
pound. The net price of the butter i:
20 cents, the butter produced therefor'
bringing 10 cents. The price of butter
= fat is then 23t cents. Another butter
maker takes the same kind of milk
gives it the full test, and by careful
: separating produces four pounds o
butter, bringing 80 cents net. Tn
price of butter fat in this case is onl,,
20 cents, yet the farmer gets ten cent
, more for his milk than in the forme
case. We are pleased to see some q
