Keep Hands Off.

s.Fellow citizens, let us leave the
tariff schedules alone. The country is
enjoying a period of great prosperity
due largely to the present tariff which
we are urged to tamper There is no
single schedule which is absolutely es-
sential to the prosperity of the nation
as whole to reduce or change. Let
us devote our energies during the next
few months to whipping the demo-
|crats. Let us fall into line, forget our
differences on the tariff question and
present an unbroken front to the party
which has as its avowed object the
complete demolition of the present tar
lift system, which means SO much for
the welfare and prosperity of our PEG.

Letter from Oregon.

CANBY, ORE, Feb. 25, 1903.
To the Editor of the WARREN SHEAF:
When I started out on my jour
ney to the Pacific coast, I promised
many of my friends that I would
write when I got to my destination,
and now I will meet their demand
by so doing.
started from my former home in
eastern Marshall county February
IS, and went by the way Of Thief
River Falls. The thermometer
showed us what fine weather we
were having, it showed us we had
better keep inside for fear Of having
a frozen nose or ear. We had 48
below zero, that day. Going west
there was snow all the way until
got to Spokane, Wash. Thenthe
ground was bare of snow, and when
I got as far as Seattle, Washington,
the ground was covered with green
grass in place of snow. I went by
the way of Portland, Oregon. Port
land has population of 100, 900 and
it is a beautiful city. l stayed in
Portland and took in the general
sights of the town. On Monday, of
February %, I arrived at Candy,
and who should I meet with but our
genial friend and neighbor Ole S..
Halsa. There was no getting out of
it, but had to go with him to see the
home he has bought. He has a
farm of 80 acres, miles east OF
Candy and beautiful farm I must
say. Here they can raise most
everything, as apples, pears,
prunes, grapes, peaches, cherries,
blackberries, strawberries, rasp-
berries. etc.
It is quite a change coming from
a country where they are having 48
below zero to where they are having
IS above, and person can realize
that they are having winter in Min
nesota. Indeed it looks like the
month of May, in Minnesota.
wish good luck to all friends, and
the people of Marshall Co., and
more prosperity then ever before.

Rainy River, Canada.

Feb. 7th---The weather is fine and
things are progressive. We hav,
plenty OF snow, about two feet.
Lots of new settlers are coming in
from all parts of the u. S. and Can
ada. A lot of farmers from Kittson
Co. were here, last Friday, filing on
Canada soil; they said this country
beats all they ever saw. This is
beautiful place as regards the loca-
ton. The Little Grassy River
country is very fine country, To-
Gated in the big woods containing
most all kinds of timber, as pine,
spruce, tamarac, poplar and birch.
The Little Grassy is very wide ri
yer, but not very long. Steamboats,
are running up and down all sum
mer, hauling provisions for the set
tiers. Game is plentiful in the
woods, moose anu caribou are run
ming sometimes between the house
and the barn. Lots of cordwood is
being cut this winter; the timber is
so thick that it runs from IS to 100
cords per acre. Aug. Anderson
and Emil Ostlund, from Foldahl are
the champions cutting wood; they
average about 8 cords day. An
ton Paulson and C. F. Bjorklund
have taken contract to cut two
hundred cords before spring.
Nels Sundberg, the champion
hunter and trapper is making fort
une in the woods, trapping all kinds
of fur animals.
Mr.. Bud Roe, the logging con
tractor, is getting out a lot, of ties.
for the Railroad Co., he owns
steamboat and fishing outfit, which
he is running in the LaTe of the
Woods. This is a distance of 80
miles from Rainy River, which place
has very nice location on the
Rainy River, which runs from Rainy
Lake into the Lake of the Woods.
Beaudette is also a beautiful place
on the Minnesota side.

City Caucus.

A caucus was held Tuesday eve
ming for the nomination Of city Off
GERS for the ensuing year. w. J..
Brown was chosen chairman and
J.P .Easton, secretary. In his open
ing remarks, Mr.. Brown pointed
out the desirability of retaining the
old council to complete the public
improvements now under way.
This sentiment was so strong that a
motion to that effect passed unani-
mously. II. B. Imsdahl was nomi-
mated for justice, but has since de-
clined the nomination. The follow
ing committee was appointed for the
ensuing year: John Lindberg, G. A.

A Lucky Case.

Nine hundred and sixty dollars in
paper money hidden in an old hustle,
such as is used by persons of feminine
persuasion with finely upholstered
physigues, was kicked and thrown
all day at Duluth and laid out in q
back yard all night.
Detective Frank Schultz found it
this morning and restored the money
to Mrs. F. Sewers
Mrs. SEWERS is recent arrival from
North Dakota and instead of putting
the hard earned money in a bank on
reaching this city, she hid it in the
old hustle and in some manner on Sat-
urday evening the hustle, with all her
wealth, was swept out into the back
yard.

Travelling Libraries.

- -. IFAVeiln9 LioFdrIeS.
The state public library commissions
has just issued its report for the years,
1901 and 1902. The system of travelling
libraries was established in January,
1900, and, owing to the limited appro-
priation, $4,000 per year, the work
could not be pushed extensively, but,
there has been a gradual increase. Ins
1902 there were $500 volumes in cir
culation, and in 1901, 6,125.
During the year 1902 there were 1913:
towns and cities which had travelling
libraries. OF these 1913 places; 7e were
rural communities and 63 villages of
less than 500 population. SO the liz
brary commission has done the thing
it was principally created for-to sup
ply libraries to communities where a.
public library is out of the question.
Although the travelling library sys-
tenn is now well established in the
state, it has made but a small begin
ming, in consideration of the demands
and needs of the state. At the close
of 1902 there were 300 applications on
file, with but 215 libraries to fill these
demands, including those purchased
from the appropriation for 1929.
