Michiaan Peach aeIt.

From Farmers Review: In the
February IL number OF the Farmers
Review 1 notice that we are misin-
formed in regard to the width of
what is called the Michigan peach
belt. You say that it is confined to
strip about 10 miles wide; adjoin-
ink lake Michigan and to sandy and
sandy loan soils. Now that may be
the case in certain parts of the fruit
belt, running as it does from st. Jo-
seph in the south to Grand Traverse
in the north; but here in the Grand
river valley successful peach culture
is carried on for thirty or more miles
back from the lake. Neither is it
confined to sandy soils; as we have
thousands OF acres of peach orchards
on clay and clay loan soils producing
as fine peaches as can be grown in
the state. To give your readers some
idea of the truth of this statement l
will say that our beautiful city of
Grand Rapids is situated about twen-
ty-five miles from the lake, and peach
es are drawn to that market from one
to twenty miles in nearly every di-
rectfon: and as high as 1,5O0 loads
of peaches have been counted through
the market gates before a. m. Ia
one day, to say nothing OF the hum
dreds of loads that were drawn to
the freight houses and commission
houses during the day; besides car
loads and carloads that were shipped
from the many stations outside of the
city. The prospects are fair for the
coming crop up to this time, Febru-
ary 16, as we have had no zero
weather at this point until last night
when the thermometer registered

FILING OF BILLS OF
SALE TO DISCONTINUE
AS Law Does Not Require IT., the Prac-
tice Will Be Abolished.

If an opinion now being prepared by
the city legal department warrants it,
bills of sale will hereafter be denied
record and place in the vaults of City
Clerk Matt Jensen. The business in
this line will be confined strictly to
contracts and chattel mortgages.
The filing of bills of sale and the
placing of the same on record has al
ways been matter of accommodation
in the local city clerks office There
is no law sanctioning it and for that
reason the custom is to be abolished.
In Minneapolis bills of sale are never
received for record.
The principal protest comes from
the assessors office, which each year
makes UP a list of all contracts and
mortgages for taxation purposes. Bills
of sale are also included and trouble
invariably results.
Since County Assessor Conley BET
came busy with the instruments on
file in the city clerks office there has
been material falling off in this class
of business. Installment houses, rather
than suffer the tax that is imposed,
file them away in their own vaults and
take the chance of some INSCRIPTIONS
person placing another mortgage on
the Chattels they have purchased.
Parties with contracts are also becom-
ing wise and so the business is yearly
diminishing.

LITTLEST MILL
is BEING BUILT
Minnesota State School Is
to Have Smallest
Mill.

A flour mill, fully equipped and as
complete for its size as any mill in the
state, has been erected in st. Paul, and
will be operated by the faculty at the
state agricultural school. 1t is the
property of the state and is an adjunct
to the school.
The mill, which is the first of it's
kind to be owned and operated by a
state agricultural school, is also the
smallest in the United States. 1t has
a grinding capacity of only one busheI,
but this one buShel will serve to DEM
onstrate many things not known to the
laity. 1t will be used to ascertain from
what grade of wheat the best flour is
obtained and the relative amount of
gluten in each. A bakery is to be add
ed later in order to experiment fur
Their.
The equipping Of the mill with grind
ing, boiling, sitting and separating
machinery is now in progress, and it is
expected will be completed in q few
days.
The experiment is being watched
with interest by other schools through
out the United States.

VETERAN is NOT
A COtJNTERFEITER
Jury Finds Byron A. Frazier
Is Not Guilty Of
Coming.

A jury in the federal court, after be-
ing out all night, returned a verdict
at o'clock yesterday morning declar-
ing Byron A. Frazier, alias Eugene A.
Bryant, a Civil war veteran, not guilty
of the charge of counterfeiting There
are two other indictments against Fra
zier, both in connection with the al
legged offense for which he was acquit-
ted, and he will be tried on these at
once.
Frazier was arrested with Edward
Brown, both of the men being charged
with making counterfeit money at
Browns house on Randolph street.
Tazier's defense was that he was
working secretly for the purpose of
perfecting a patent metal car box
packing. He said yesterday that he
was not at all surprised at the verdict,
and was confident the other cases
against him would terminate in the
same manner.
Edward Brown, arrested with Fra
zier, was on trial all day yesterday,
the evidence and arguments being
completed before the adjournment of
court last evening. Brown, in the at
tic of whose home the plant" was
found, admitted having assisted Fra
zier in the manufacture of some of the
money, but excused himself by saying
that he was; a detective, connected
with an indianapolis agency, and that
he\was only waiting for an opportun-
ity to turn Frazier over to the federal
officers. The reason he had not done
so was because he had been so busy
| with his work that he had not had the
time, but was ready to do so just at
the time their arrest occurred
Brown placed all Of the blame on
Frazier, and said on the witness stand
that Frazier was a bad man, and an
old offender. Browns defense, how
! ever, was not considered as strong as
that of Frazier. Judge Lochren will
| instruct the jury when court opens
| this morning.

HARD COAL is

Two Thousand Tons Are in
Sight for st. Paul +.
Market.

The Northwestern Fuel company
announces that it has nearly 1900
tons of hard coal en- route from the
East, and that when it arrives it will
be placed on the market Immediately.
Other dealers speak of small invoices,
so that if all arrive, next week should
see about 1000 tons of the hard prod
uct in st. Paul yards.
While hard coal is a decided scarcity,
it cannot be said that consumers are
denied fuel absolutely. There is con-
siderable soft coal on sale and consum-
ers are invariably advised to take it..
AS the majority of stoves and fur
naces in the Northwest are equipped
for hard coal burning, the reluctance
to accept this fuel is natural but it
gives heat, and for this reason many
are laying aside their prejudices.

claims to have been the victim of a
game, by means of which he was in .
duced to buy $500 shares of stock in
the Fortune Mining company, of Ore
gon. The plaintiff says the defend
ants made false representations to in
duce him to purchase the stock. He
was given to understand that the COM
pany owned seven mines, two Of which
were located next to the famous Horse
shoe gold mine. All of the mines, he
was given to understand were produc-
ing ore, the value of which was from
$23 to $3.50 per ton, and a stamp mill
was in process of construction. The
plaintiff says he has since learned that
none of the mines is being worked,
that no shafts have been sunk, and that
the erection of a stamp mill was never
commenced The amount paid for the
shares was only $125, but the plaintiff
claims that if the property had been
as represented, it would have been
worth $4,000, and he has brought suit
for that amount

Justices of the peace in st. Paul are
considerably exercised over the bill to
abolish their offices, which Ambrose
Tighe has introduced in the house.
The bill does not in so many words
abolish the office. but practically does
so by providing that no process issued
by justice of, the peace shall be valid
in the three largest cities of the state,
except writs of execution.

Joseph Smith yesterday, lis the poor
