A Grave Topic.

Oak Knoll cemetery might be made
a very pretty burial ground if only a
little more attention was paid to it.
This spring parties who got tired of
the neglected appearance of the place
burned over a. large portion of the
cemetery, and were very particular
not to have the fires burn the trees nor
shrubbery. One part of the cemetery
was burned over that had become
matted with the accumulation of weeds
and grass of fifteen years, and the
green grass is coming up and improv-
ing the looks of the place great deal.
Here and there may be seen few lots
where an attempt has been made to
beautify the appearance of the same,
but there are plenty of neglected spots
throughout the cemetery that ought to
be looked after, and it is to be hoped
that all interested will take some pride
in the matter and clean up the barren
and neglected places before Decora-
ton day.

Marks Sale.

The sale of live stock at the Mark
yards last Saturday was very we'll at
tended and the crowd remained with
Frank Smith, who was auctioneer,
throughout the entire day. A lot of
good horses were sold, one heavy team
of Orators being sold for an even $500.
Bidding was quite spirited on some of
the offerings. Considerable other stock
was sold during the day, the total sales
amounting to over two car loads of
horses. Nearly one car load was bought
by outside parties. These sales which
long ago became feature of trade at
the Mark Live Stock Co. g yards, are
always we'll attended and attract buy
ers from various portions of the State
as we'll as lots of farmers from the sur
rounding country.

Great Northern Railway Calendar.

One of the most unique railroad cal
enders ever issued is that of the Great
Northern railway and steamship lines.
The calendar proper is in black and
red and covers Sheet 16x2O inches.
1t is surmounted with a beautiful de-
sign, the acme of the designers and

Northern traffic by steamship and rail
along the northern zone, the future
great highway of commerce. The route
is shown from Buffalo, the eastern
port of lake commerce, to Duluth, the
gateway for the Pacific coast traffic via
the great lakes. From Duluth the
Great Northern railway system
stretches away across the continent to
the Pacific coast in bright red lines,
and at the coast Great Northern
steamship is pointed for the Orient.

Trouble Over q Road.

A. 3. Damon, who owns an eighty
acre farm down in the town of Bald
win, may commence action against the
town board of that township for dam
ages in laying out road through his
farm. An old road that passed
through his farm was vacated by the
board on petition duly signed and
presented, Mr.. Damon being one of
the signers to said petition. But when
the new road was laid out it was found
that instead of following the course
designated in the petition sthe board
had the road built through another
portion of the farm against the wishes
OF Mr.. Damon, who now seeks to have
the board compelled to vacate the new
road and lay it out according to the
route described in the petition.

Jumped His Board Bill.

John Luth, who for some time has
been at work at his trade as mason
in and about Princeton, and who
boarded at the Scandal house, took a
verysudden departure few days ago
for parts unknown. He became in
debted to Landlord Moey for a liberal
allowance of, chuck and good many
nights rest, and was little dilatory
about settling with Mr.. Moey. Itris
also claimed that he bought a suit of
clothes of Martin Brand and gave in
payment for them an order on party
that Luth had been or was working
for, but there was no money coming,
and Mr.. Brand soon discovered that
the polite request was not a legal
tender. Moey thought it the proper
thing to get out a warrant for the ar
rest of Luth but the latter got wind of
the proceedings and took time by the
forelock and made his escape. It is
said that this is not the first time he
has got into trouble, and it was only
last fall that he was discharged from
the reformatory.

About Water Power.

According to the views of mechan-
ical experts, the power of the future is
that derived from falling water. For
cheapness and effectiveness, with up.
to-date electrical means of transmits
sion, no other power approaches it..
The factory and the mill no longer
overland the stream where the power
is generated. Next to water power is
the power developed by the rotary
steam engine from petroleum. A
liquid fuel for generating physical and
mental power in man, 'Golden Grain

licious drink. Order of your nearest

Potato Supply Short.

Princeton, the great potato market
OF the great potato belt, has a potato
shortage right here at home, and the
local supply has about been exhausted.
The merchants report that they are
practically out OF potatoes, and the
housekeeper who has no potatoes in
the cellar has to hustle to get enough
to supply immediate wants. The sup
ply in the hands of the farmers is
small indeed, and there only remains
enough for seed purposes. In some
cases the farmers are finding them
selves short of seed stock, but many
prefer to sell off all their stock and get
new seed, the exchange with the deal
ers being made on the basis of one
bushel of seed potatoes for five bush
els of next falls crop. Last Saturday
potatoes were selling at IS cents and
there were a good many loads hauled
in that sold for, that figure. A few
struggling loads are coming in, but do
not amount to much in the way of sup
ply at the present time.

CLIMATE AND CROP BULLETIN.

Weather and Crop Conditions in Minne-
sofa for the Week Ending May s.
The nights during the week were
cool for the season. Rains, moder-
ately heavy locally, were general in
the State on the lst; general in east
ern and southern portions on the End,
and general except in the extreme
north, on the 3rd. On the first there
were high winds, with thunderstorms,
and in some places little hail.
The rains in the Red River valley
have soaked the ground so that farm
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 seed
ing wheat is so far advanced that she
advisability of seeding barley, oats
and flax instead of wheat is being con-
sidered. In Kittson county wheat
seeding is we'll advanced, and oat seed
ing is third finished. In Clay county
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 con-
dition. The early sown grains are
showing nicely in the fields, and the
latest sown are terminating we'll. The
estimate of the damage by the dust
storms of April 10th and 18th was prob
able 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 worst, few fields
will have TO be seeded TO other crops.
Flax is being seeded generally, and the
earliest sown is coming up. Potato
PLANTING is going on favorably. Prep
arations for corn planting continue,
and a little corn is already in the
ground. Pastures are green, and
few are affording good supply OF
feed, but most of them need warmer
weather Clover and timothy passed
through the winter safely. Plums are
in blossom, and apple trees will soon
be in bloom.

Corn Growing.

Old settlers in southern Minnesota
tell of the difficulty of growing good
corn in the early days. Since that
time corn has become one of their
staple crops. The improvement has
been brought about by selecting and
improving the corn itself, and by the
opening up OF the country. These pro-
cesses are now being repeated in
Northern Minnesota. Corn feels the
effects of excessive moisture in soil and
cold nights, moro than other crops.
With the opening and draining of the
land, these conditions are modified,
At the same time, the corn becomes
better adapted to the climate. Much
corn is already grown in the northern
half of the State.
Dent of good size is cultivated as far
north as Grant Rapids. Flint varie-
ties grow to the Canadian line. The
Squaw corn of the Indians ripens still
further north. The question of what
corn to grow is often asked by new
settlers. It must be answered separ-
ately for each locality. A variety that
will do we'll in one place may not ripen
so miles further north-for corn re-
quires all the heat of the growing sea-
son and this differs considerably at
different points. Varieties that NAV
ripen in good season, may be uncer-
tain in a cold or rainy year. It is bet.
ter to grow a kind that can be de.
pended on to ripen than a larger sort
:. that may fail.
\ Each man should start, if possible.
with kind that has already been sue.
cessfully grown in his locality, unless
he thinks that better corn can be
grown, when he should try this in a
small way. But true success must fol.

A Study in License,

Inc village OF Cambridge has been
having all kinds of trouble over the
matter of saloon licenses. Only a year
ago it emerged from a hot fight with
the liquor question and had margin
OF one vote for license. In Difference
to public sentiment but two saloons
were granted, licenses and the license
was placed at 81, 900. The issue year
ago was one which involved the ques-
ton of what was the best way to handle
the liquor traffic, and it was decided
that licensed saloons were better than
lot of blind pigs. It was not ques-
ton OF revenue at all. But in the
meantime the village voted to bond
itself for over $4,000 for water works
and it was hard this year to eliminate
the matter of the almighty dollar, as
without license money the tax payers
would have to face tax the like of
which was never heard of in Cam
bridge before. The license issue was
holly fought and only carried by four
more votes than it did year ago.
Then the anti-license element insisted
that if it was coin the village wanted
why not have plenty of saloons and
get all the money possible. The con-
servative element desired to handle
the liquor traffic under license with
some tact and not go to either extreme.
In addition to the two saloons that
have been running two new applica-
| tlons were made for license, one by
John Thornquist of this place who will
have saloon in connection with the
new hotel he intends to run in Cam
bridge, and another by a party from
Harris. Thornquist insisted that if
the village had more than two saloons
besides his own he would not build the
hotel, and here was proposition that
Cambridge was up against. The coun-
Gil met last week and rejected the Har-
ris mans application for license, post
poned action on the Thornquist appli-
cation, and placed the license at 81 900.
One of the councilmen was away at
the time, and when he returned he
asked to have the council reconsider
the matter, and accordingly another
meeting was held, which is said to
have been the warmest session the
Cambridge council ever held. There
was scrap on the question of the
amount of license and the council
finally decided to place it at 81, 800, an
increase of $500 over last year, and
they say all is not serene along the
marts OF trade in the county seat of
Isanti county.
