Tho Land in Lake Beds.

A recent decision of the state su.
preme court, the sy llabus of which is
given below will be of interest to some
of our readers who own lands border
ing on the several lakes throughout
the country.
The decision defines the rights of
riparian proprietors and lays down
the rule for ascertaining these rights.
Riparian owners of non-naviqable
lake, the waters Of which have disap.
peared own that portion of the lake
bed inclosed by extending lines from
the points, where the side lines of each
respective tract cross the meandered
line, to the center of the lake.
When such lake Is of irregular shape
and originally contained no inlet or
outlet, the inequalities caused by the
broken shore line should be equitably
adjusted between the contiguous own.
ers by disregarding such Irregularities
or by treating the lake as composed of
separate bodies of water, according
to conditions. Where such lake bed
slopes to the center and the shore line
is broken and Irregular, it is not a
proper method of division to establish
central points and central lines in dif-
ferent portions of the lake and extend
the side lines OF different riparian div
isions of such central points and CEN
tral lines approximately dividing the
land according to the lake frontage OF
each tract. Such division is not
equitable and not according to law

Stand by Your Creamery.

The Minneapolis Cold Storage Com
pany has ceased to advertise. Its
competition with the local creameries
is dying q natural death. The dairy
industry is of fAuch q nature that no
establishment run on the plan of the
Minneapolis Cold Storage Company
can prosper If the dairy farmers are
to prosper at the same time. Either
one or the other must work for their
board and clothes. Farmers frequent
ly do this, but it will have to be .
pretty cold day when the trust will do
it. It is whole hog or none with the
trust Farmers always want to bear
this fact in mind-that there is but
little profit In farming at it's best, and
to have this profit the farmers must
run their own business. The local
creamery gives all the profit Of dairy
ing q the men that do the work, and
;that g where oil profit should go.-

Canada Wheat Good.

We had the opportunity of seeing
samples of wheat and barley from
North Dakota yesterday. The wheat
looks medium and with favorable
weather will yield little below the
average. The barley looks better and
q fine crop is expected. We were in
formed that the corn looked very pro-
missing in some sections. We also
heard some reports from Assiniboia,
Canada, to the effect that the crops
look splendid. Some very fine samples
of wheat have been brought to this
city. The straw is from four to FIVE
feet high, but the heads are also re-.
markably we'll developed, and gener-
ally, where people can raise straw,
they also can raise wheat.

His Finger Amputated .

The aged father of Andrew Fers-
from, whose name is given as Carl
son, and who resides with his son on
the farm about q mile and half eaet

Thursday which necessitated the am
putation of the little finger on his
right hand. He was assisting in the
unloading of some hay, where in some
manner he got his hand into the hoist
ing fork, badly lacerating that mem
Der. It was at first feared that the
amputation of more fingers would be
necessary, but DR.. Johnson, who
attended him, hopes to save the rest.

TO her HEAVENLY HOME
Angel Of Desth Takes Away Rose, EId-
est Child Of Mr. and Mrs.
Henry Stenson.

The many friends of Miss Rose
Stenson, of this city, will learn with
Sincere regret of that young lady's
death, which occurred last Wednes-
day evening at the home of Gabriel
Sene in the town of Lake Andrew.
The end came at 9:30 and the deceased
breathed her last in the presence of
the Stene household and her father,
who arrived from Willmar q short
time before her death. Death was
due to quick consumption.
Deceased had been a sufferer from
the above disease for the past three
months, being obliged to give up her
position as ccmpositor at the Gazette
Office last April. Upon the advice of
her physician she planned for q vaca-
ton which would give her an oppor-
tunity to enjoy On outing for at least
part of the summer. A short time
ago she left for Lake Andrew, where
she remained only week when the
final summons came. and the pleasant
visit with her relatives, Mr.. and Mrs.
Stene, was suddenly, cut short by the
grim reaper Death. She had planned
to return to her home in Willmar to-
day, little realizing that her young
life was so near it's end. A telephone
message was received here Wednes-
day afternoon by her parents telling
of her being attacked with a violent
coughing spell and it was then feared
that the end was approaching. In re-
sponse to the message her father left
here and arrived there about three
hours and half before her death.
The end came peacefully.
The remains were brought to Will
mar the following morning, Under
taker Olson taking charge and pre-
pairing the body for interment, which
now )ies at tie Stenson home in the
Fourth ward awaiting the last sad
rites. The funeral is announced to
take place on Sunday afternoon at
two O'Clock, and will be conducted
from the Lutheran Free church, of
which deceased was faithful men,
ber. The funeral services will be con-
Quoted by the regular pastor, Rev. E.
E. Gynild.
The deceased was the Oldest child in
the family, being II years, 9 months
and days Of age. The other chill
dren who will greatly feel the loss Of
their sister are Edwin, Harry and
Hattie. The grief stricken parents,
who feel the loss very keenly, have
the deepest sympathy of the commun-
ity.
Miss Stenson had been q student in
the city schools until she secured en-
ployment as compositor at the Gazette
Office, where she labored faithfully for
year and half, and was considered
highly valued employe. Her quiet
and unassuming manner won for her
many friends, who will greatly miss
the departed one from among their
ranks of beloved associates.

BOWLING AVERAGES
IN RAILWAY LEAGUE
Eastern Team Proves Almost Invinc-

Over Individuals.

Judging by the pace it is setting. the
Eastern team should make a runaway
race of the championship in the Rail
way Relief Association this season. II
increased it's big lead Of last week by
winning the full set of games bowled
against the Mechanical quint last Mon
day night, and now has a record OF
fourteen victories and one defeat.
It's nearest rivsl is the Clerks quint.
which has won ten games and lost five.
The Clerks however, did not play last
week. The Northern and Track and
Roadway ffves are tied for third posi-
ton, each having won nine games and
lost six.
Whitney stands as far above the in
diviGual boWlers as does the Eastern
team over its competitors He has a
lead of more than 100 pins over Crosby,
who ranks second The latter's good
work during the past week enabled him
to pass McIntire. who held that posi-
ton the week previous. Wynkoop also
