King on Road Dragging.

King on Road Dragging.
EDITORS SENrINEL:-It has been
brought to my notice that certain per.
scns think dragging the roads may be a
success on the soft black soil of the
prairie, but will prove a failure when
tried on tough clay. Permit me to
state most positively that this is q mis-.
taken view. Clay hills, two Of them
within half mile Of where 1 sit, are
kept in good order by dragging. They
get much harder. turn the water better,
and "stay up" in the middle with less
working, than the softer soil. One Of
these clay hills has been dragged for
more than five years. Some people
think it has too much Of ridge in the
center. The other hill known as the
Kaufman hilD has been dragged less
than one year and has improved more
than any black soil road that l know
about, with an equal amount of work.
These hills are in evidence at all
times. If it should prove that any of
our skeptical friends are natives of Mis-
souri, and would like to be shown, we
will be glad to accommodate them
whenever they will visit US.
Yours Truly,
D. WARD KING.

Temporary Chairman Nelson Ad-
dresses the Delegates.
st. Paul, July 2.-By noon nearly all
of the LII delegates to the Republic
an state convention were in their
seats and few minutes later united
in hearty tribute of applause as the
venerable war governor, Alexander
Ramsey, appeared on the stage. At
1912 o'clock W. c. Masterman, chair
man of the state central committee,
raped for order and introduced Rev.
J. S. Montgomery of Minneapolis, who
delivered the invocation. G. c.. Whit
ney, secretary of the state committee,
started to read the call for the con-
vention, but motion by Simon Mich
elet of the White Earth Indian agency
that further reading of the call be dis
pensed with prevailed. Mr.. Masterman
then announced that the state commit
tee, realizing the wishes of the dele
gates, had selected United States Sen
ator Knute Nelson for temporary
chairman, and he introduced, him as
the Little Giant" Senator Nelson de-
fvered an address on the issues of
the coming campaign, reviewing the
political history of the past six years.
On motion of Senator E. G. Potter of
Minneapolis Albert Johnson of Good
hue county was chosen temporary Sec
rotary, and Theodore Gronewald as
sistant temporary secretary.
Committees on credentials, perma-
nent organization and resolutions were
appointed and the convention took a
recess to 2:30 p. m. The resolution

covered, but efforts to get them have
not been abandoned. Mrs. Tanke
pointed out the spot as nearly as she
could remember, and an excavation
was made, but it may have been at
little to one side from the right place.
Mr.. Eckstein states that had Mrs.
Tanke told this story to him in the
first place, Tanke could have been
cleared and she might have escaped
on the ground of self defense. Now,
having perjured herself on the stand,
it is difficult to say what weight her
testimony will be given. The finding
of the revolver, watch and pocket
book would corroborate her testimony.

ditorium. named a ticket, adopted a
platform and adjourned, all in the
space of few hours.
The most of the nominating was by
reclamation and for auditor and clerk
Of the supreme court only one ballot
was needed. For auditor the first bal
lot was SO strongly in favor of Iverson
that a few changes were followed by
q motion to nominate by reclamation.
For the clerkship the result of the
first ballot was very close. four candi-
dates being pretty evenly divided in
