We sometimes wonder whether our sub

truth. 1t would be very natural for a
reader to measure the magnitude Of the
enterprise by the number Of square inches
an unjust judgment. 1t would tickle the
vanity of the editor to put out a large,
well printed weekly paper. It would give
him an opportunity to give more extended

full workers. Inis could be done, probably
with less, possibly with much less effort
than is now required. But, judging by the

these would be home Of which the father

AS it now is, we have something over
1000 paying subscriptions and the number
and 5000 receive the paper the year
around as gift from those who have con-
tributed to our Free Circulation Fund.
This leaves us about 10000 free sample

Which is the better way? Do you like
our plan? Do you realize its vast posi-

Of it to increase the no-license vote at
your village elections and the Prohibition

tional election? The Free Circulation
Fund amounted to $2,246 during the last

Fosston. Mimi, June 4.--What appears
to be rare specimen of prehistoric re
mains was unearthed near here when the
skeleton of human being and some earth
en- and stone vessels were found and
brought to the city by S. S. Stadsvold
proprietor of the Fosston flour mill, and
Lewis Lohn, cashier of the Bank of Foss-
ton.
Messrs Stadsvold and Iohn were visit
Ing at Mr., Lohn's farm, near Beaulieu, on
the border of the White Earth Indian res
ervation. and were watching some work
men who were making a cellar for a new
building. The men had gone some depth
into the side of the hill, the intention be-
ing to make large root cellar, when the
shovel OF one of them came in contact
with a hard substance which gave forth
q metallic sound.
The worl<men stopped to examine what
the obstacle was and found 1T to be an
iron ring fastened to something further
in the side of the hill. Pulling on the
ring disclosed the fact that it was at
tached to an iron dor, which swung out
ward, disclosing a large opening. Look
ing into the opening, it was found that it
led to large cave which was strewr
with pieces of broken stones of peculiar
shapes, and in one corner was a stone
box, in which, on being opened, was found
the perfect skeleton of a human being.
Some stone implements, representing
hammers, arrow darts and other peculiar
implements, were also in the box. The
skeleton was at least seven feet In
length. Mr.. Lohn has placed the skele-
ton and other articles in a sealed glass
receptacle and put them with rare col
lection of Indian relics which he possesses.
1t is believed that the cave was once the
resort of mound builders. or Of the In
dams in the very long ago, as the imple-
ments found are of very ancient pattern. +
