The Farmers Dream.

A farmer had a dream. He
dreamed that he had raised 1000
bushels at wheat and was happy
over the fact. Then he dreamed
that he sold it for a dollar a
bushel and his happiness was
great. But he dreamed now that
he sold it to two thousand diff
ferent people, a bushel to each
one, and nobody had paid him
and he was sad. When he awoKe
it was broad daylight: and leap
ed out OF bed he exclaimed to his
wife: "Rebecca! I have had a
solemn warning and l know the
meaning of it. [ am going right
of to town and pay the printer
the dollar l owe for the paper.

Should be Reappointed.

The county commissioners will
meet in regular session next Mon
day. The first act to be done is
to appoint two commissioners
to fill the vacancies in the cases
of John Wallin and VIM. Black.
The Independent. a few weeks
ago mentioned this fact and
again expresses the wish that
Commissioners Black and Wallin
be reappointed by the other COM
missioners. This county of ours
is large and it takes a long time
for a commissioner to learn those
things regarding it, which are
necessary to know, in order that
they will make no mistakes. Our
commissioners who are now in
office understand the needs ofthe
county and it is important that
those who are now in office
should remain where they are.

TO GET SCOFELD

An Effort is Being Made to Get Ward

The writ will asked on the

an act Of congress, and such linn

the higher courts; that Scofield
was not in contempt ofcourt, in

An effort is being made to get
Sheriff A. p. Scofield OF this coun-
ty out Of the Cass county jail at
Fargo. 1t is said that the c1'iti~
cisms which Judge Amidon has
been subjected to by the state
papers, has angered his royal
highness to such a degree that
he has ordered the sheriff into
close confinement and it now
looks as if he would not set him
free before his ninety days are
up. Mr.. Scofeld has secured for
his attorneys, Judge Corliss and
John Burke who will make appli-
cation to Judge Sanborn OF the
United States Circuit court OF
appeals, for a writ of habeas
corpus for the release of the shel'-

Was a Good Woman

DR.. Crokat returned from Por-
tai where he held an inquest over
the dead body OF Mrs. Graves,
the woman killed by her husband.
The doctor says that the woman
had been working hard at Por-
tai, scrubbing and doing odd
jobs and was Industrious and
honest. She had forty dollars
in the bank and had been sup
porting herself and children.
The children were cared for well
by the mother. The people Of
Portal had taken a subscription
and bought her some furniture.
She was a good looking woman
and dressed well and spent con-
siderable money but the best citi-
zens Of the place, place no blame
on her. .. ...... ...

Woman Run over.

A woman was run down by p.
p. Lees delivery team in front
of the Dacotah house Christmas
eve about 8 o'clock. The pole OF
the sleigh struck her in the chest
knocking her down. The little
girl who was with her escaped in
jury. The woman was picked up
and taken into the hotel and
soon grew better. The escape
was a very narrow one, and her
injuries, we understand were
quite serious.

1t is Not True.

The Ward County Reporter
last week printed a clipping from
the Bottineau COurant which
roasted Sheriff Scofield for what
he did at Grand Forks. The Re-
porter in it's head stated that
public sympathy was against
Scofeld. This is q falsehood.
Public sympathy is with Scofeld
and Bro. Wilson seems to be
about the only one in this part
'of the state who has set up q
clarion cry on account of Judge
AmidOn's shameful action.

was completed the ancient courthouse

come quite inadequate, and in 1887
legislative authority was secured for
the erection of a Joint courthouse and
city hall. Commenced in 1889, this
building is not yet completed, altho
occupied for years. Its cost is over
100000. Other buildings Of pub
lie or senipnblic character received
cordial support. The public library
building, Masonic Temple, Young
Mems Christian Association building
and numerous homes and asylums are
examples of this spirit of providing
the necessary institutions of a great
city with suitable accommodations.
The Office Building Movement.

eighties Minneapolis began to feel the

centrate business in office buildings.

immaturity of the young city of 1878
has been given; the growth from the
town of 1878 to the city, as it is
known to-day, has been certain i'm
portant events and attended by GER

in this brief sketch to attempt a
chronological narrative of the life of
Minneapolis in these twenty-five years,
but rather to touch upon some of
these important events and develop
ments. These topics naturally divide
themselves into those connected with
the mercial and material side of
the city life and those pertaining to
the social and intellectual; some are
inextricably interviewer with both.
The Chamber of Commerce.

quarter century to have an important

Minneapolis Caught on" to the office
building idea with promptness and
characteristic vigor. The Syndicate
block-the first real expression of the
idea-was built in 1928. Then came
the old Tribune building (now the
Phoenix. The Guaranty building, the
Lumber Exchange, the Masonic Tenn
pie, the New York Life building, the
Bank of Commerce building, the Min
nesota Loan and Trust building, Tenn
pie Court, the Kasota building, the
Sykes building and others were the
results of the great growth Of the
later eighties; more recently the An
drus building, the Dayton building, the
new Chamber Of Commerce have been
added to the list. Into these and other
buildings In the central part Of the
city have come a great many of the
manufacturers of the city whose plants
are at greater or less distance from
the center. It has been found more
convenient to communicate with the
works by telephone, or otherwise. than
to be at distance from the financial
and business center of the city. The
same impulse has drawn the banks
and financial institutions Of the city
towards a common center, and the
prosperity of these concerns has led

Geographical Tendencies.
AS a phase Of this Capitalization Of

dency Of northwestern. business to GEN.
tralize In Minneapolis. notable ex-
ample of this is found in the lumber
| business and the related lines of build
ing material supply. Twenty-Five years
ago few manufacturers at country
points maintained city offices; now
| scores Of them have their general Of
! fees in Minneapolis, managing their
outside properties from the center of
| trade. The same condition has be-
come true of the -four milling business
to some extent. All this has tended
to create an enormous volume Of bust
ness transacted in the office buildings
of the city and conferred within COM
paratively small area.
Equally interesting geographical
tendencies in the business life Of the
city have been noticeable during this
period. The wholesale trade Of the
city was scattered in 1878. 1t had no
definite locality. Some Of the leading
houses were on Nicollet avenue then
and for some years after. Some years
ago the bulk Of the jobbing business
began to find place north Of Henne-
PIN avenue, where 1t now seems des-
tined to be permanently centered. The
lproduce commission business has found
a center during the same time. The
best. retail houses in 1878 were on
lower Nicollet and Hennepin avenues
and along Washington; the retail cen-

approached the capacity Of the mills
is indicated by the fact that with re-
built and enlarged mills the output
of 1879 was only 1,551,786 barrels.
This is less than one-tenth Of the out
put Of recent years. Wheat receipts
of 4,581,000 bushels In 1873 must be
compared with 100000 bushels last
year; wheat shipments Of 800
bushels with 11,770,0O0 bushels in
1908. Wheat handling was done with
few and small elevators and without
modern machinery. In the country
many of the elevators or buying
houses had little or no machinery;
much of the handling was done, In
fact, by hand.
The lumber production of 1873 was
130,O00,00O feet. as compared with an
average of 500,000,000 feet in late
years. The value of the manufactures
Of the town was estimated to be

ured at over $10,00O,000. The total

Prominent Corners i'm 1873.
On the corner of Nico1let and Fifth
street, where the Andrus building
now stands, was the residence or "a.
G. Sidle, then considered one of the
finest homes in the city. Across the
street, and nearer Sixth street, was
the Hardenbergh residence--the site
now occupied by the Syndicate block.
Above Sixth street there were no bust
ness buildings of consequence, except
the old Glass Block, which had just
been erected. 1t was one-story
frame structure which many people
remember we'll. Over on Hennepin
avenue the West hotel site was oc-
cupied by residence. and d1agonally
across, where the Lumber Exchange
stands was the First Baptist church.
Following Hennepin down to the riv-
err, none of the modern buildings OF
to-day were to be seen. The Security
Bank building, at Third street-now
the Western Union Telegraph building
was regarded as. one OF the best
business buildings in town. The old
Academy of Music stood where Tenn
pie Court now stands. Further down.
the Pence opera-house--now almost
forgotten as a playhouse-was con-
spicuous structure and a well-known
resort.
On the East Side the changes are
less marked. Old st. Anthony remains
almost unchanged in some places. But
Central avenue has been almost re-
built since 1878, and the limits of resi-
dence building have spread out for
miles, both northeast and southeast.
The university was quite out in the
country. 1t possessed but two build
ings in 1878.
Along the River Front.
The traveller entering the city In
1878 from the south or east would Of
necessity have come in over the Mil
waukee, Minneapolis & ST. Louis or
North Western systems. The first
road came to Minneapolis by way of
Fort Smelling and Mendoza. The Min
neapolis & ST. Louis used it's present
route, but stopped at the old st. Paul

avenue N. The North Western trains
reached Minneapolis from ST. Paul,

building costing S325,000 was COM
pleted, and that fall an exposition was

people. To accomplish this work busy

for months. Obstacles of all kinds
We're overcome by sheer force of will

magic. For a number of years annual
expeditions were held with success;
they served their purpose for the
period.
Some Great Conventions.
The building of the exposition made
possible some Of the most interesting
public events Of the quarter-century.
The great building afforded an audi
forum of unusual size and gave a
