The second annual trap-shooting
tournament of the Warren Gun Club.
met to-day on their grounds north of

The attendance showed many expert

The weather was all that could be

varied and liberal, and the shootes
are enthusiastic over the we'll ar

which it was conducted. It is i'm
possible for the SHEAF to give de-

understood that some good records
were made that would compare favor
ably with the best of them, and every
body went home feeling IN the best of
spirits and praising the manner in
which they had been entertained by
the Warren Gun Club.

Over Taxation.

The unusual wet weather we had
last spring has made Red River Val
ley farmers see more clearly the
pressing need of drainage. Many
bitches have been staked out or pro-
jected, but the work of taxation and
supervision in this matter is not so
easily carried out. Everyone will, of
course, get as much benefit from the
drainage as possible, but it is easy to
understand that there are those who
will think that they have been
wronged. There are some, through
whose lands the bitches are to go,
who complain and say that they are
being "overtaxed," and who show
inclination to lay the blame at the
door of the lawmaker. But we ought
to remember that the drainage law
cannot, any more than other laws,
cover every possible case and condi-
ton, and many time people have
had to turn to juries for right and
justice when the letter of the law has
failed. It is with this end in view
that appraisers are provided for, in
the drainage law, who, after careful
examination of conditions and cir
cumstances, shall decide the ques-
tion of taxation. The lawmakers
cannot be held responsible for lover
taxation and the blame will be
with the appraisers exclusively.
The drainage law is worked out in
the very best way possible. It is for
the farmers and for the land in gen
eral. But one thing is certain, that
the bitches must not be opened or
started before every possible circum-
stance in connection Herewith is
carefully considered, as these water
channels may SO easily be made to do
harm somewhere and arouse trouble
and Misunderstanding.

In the upper house Senator Grinde-
land, OF Marshall county, is entitled
to first honors for effective work in
securing legislation OF general inter
est to the state, and more particu-
larly in measures having direct inter-
est to this section OF Minnesota.
His vote on the gross earnings and
the primary election bills we're in ac-
cord with the views of the majority
of the people OF the state, and he was
the author of a practical measure
providing for a complete system OF
construction OF county drainage, to
take the place Of the detective law
under which counties have heretofore
labored. The weight of his influence
was considerable in securing the ap-
preparation to increase the effective
ness Of the work Of the experiment
station here, in which he has always
felt great interest. In many other
measures his efforts have been ex-
erted in a manner that merits the
hearty approval of the residents OF
the upper country. Crookston

ATTEND THE PRIMARIES.
Will the Farmers Neglect the Pri-
mary Election?

The primary election was estab-
lished mainly for the purpose of
giving the farmers OF Minnesota
more voice in the selection of candi-
dates to run for office. Whether the
law is to be success depends upon
how generally the privilege given is
utilized by the people. It is claimed
by many that the farmers as a rule
will take no interest in this election,
and a prominent politician has ex-
pressed himself as follows:
sThe nominations at the primary
election in Minnesota next fall will
be made by the voters of the cities
and villages. | don't believe that in
rural districts of the average coun-
ty the votes cast at the primary
election will be enough to count.
The primary election comes Just at
the time when the farmers are busy.
They have fall plowing, threshing,
cutting corn, and a hundred other
things that come in the early fall. It
is hard enough to get them to the
polls in November, when the crops
are harvested, and there is little
work they can do, and [ don't be-
lieve many of them will go to the
primary election. 1t will take al
most day for most OF them, which
means a days work lost. The av-
erage farmer will prefer to stay at
home and work"
Now we can hardly believe that
the farmers will be so little concerned
in regard to what candidates are
placed in the field for the different
offices, and SO unmindful OF their
duties as good citizens that they
will neglect neither this election, nor
the general election that follows
tlater. Farmers are as much inter
ested as, any other class 81 citizens
in good government, and when it
comes to question of patriotism
they are the great sheet anchor Of
the nation. True, going to the polls
twice this fall means some sacrifice,
Especially as that time is the farm
ers' busy season, but adj good citi-
zens in republic should be willing
to sacrifice something for the good
OF the country. Like one man we
hope to see the sturdy yeomen OF the
land march up to the polling places
on the day OF both the primary and
general elections, and thus disprove
the charge that they will take no in
terest in these things.

HINMAN SENT TO TAT.

Argot E. Hinman received small sentence for prave crime in the su- perior court yesterday.
 He was charged with breaking into freight car on the Consolidated road last February and stealing several pieces of cloth. He was employed as d brakeman on the road at the time.
 Hinman lives in Lamberton street and has wife and two children. He pleaded guilty to the charge against him. Attorney Goodhart related a story of brave act by his client which act perhaps saved the lives of several peo- pie on the Consolidated. For this act Hinman received letter of priase from the railroad officials
 Judge ShumWay in imposing sen tence said he might sentence Hinman to ten years in states prison for his crime, but he would take into consid- eration his act in saving the express train his family and the fact that he was intoxicated when he broke into the car. Therefore, he would make the sentence six months in the county jail. The sentence is very light one.
 Hinman was much affected and shed tears.
