W. B. Crawford, of Barron, Wis. ).
who is looking for suitable location
Tor 9 woolen mill, was In the city
Wednesday and met with officials Of
the Water Power company. and the
Commercial Club committees. The pro-
position made Mr.: Crawford was one
he thought very good. He will bring
the matter before his prospective part
ner, who lives in Iowa. and if the
other gentleman is as we'll satisfied as
Mr.. Crawford, there is little question
as to the mill being located here Mr..
Crawford has had offers from q num-
Der of different cities. but would pre-
fer coming to Little Falls if con d.
tions are satisfactory. Mr.. Crawford
has been in the business for many
years, and thoroughly understands it.
It Is proposed to use the four story
and basement mill near the electric
light station. The building is we'll
fitted for woolen manufacturing
business. Part of the machinery to
be used will come from Wisconsin,
and part from Massachusetts. It is
not intended to move the Barron
mill, which is doing very flourish
ing business, but to establish another

greatly stimulated sheep growing

A BOOM FOR OTsEGO

Monticello Times: With the Minne-
scta Power ana Trolley Co.. dam
located at Otseeo and the power house
assured, and the right Of way for the
trolley line being secured and the
prospect of rhe bridge being located
there on account of the great saving
il cost in connection with the dam it
LOOKS as if Otsego was going ahead
the coming season with great strides
and in the near future become one of
Wright County's j.. important and pros
porous towns.
Why is it that some newspapers
always locate the Minneapolis Power
and Trolley Companv's new dam and
power plant at Elk River when it is
located at Otsego four miles west Of
that town? Otsego is destined to be.
come the greatest manufacturing CEN
ter in Wright county.

COMPLAINT FROM PARKER

Editor Herald: Among the Darling
items-in one of the papers recently
was kick about the way the Randall
election..was conducted. Some strong
words were used. I would like TO ask
the writer of that item how such
things can be prevented. The Parker
election was certainly not better con-
Quoted than that at Randall. Things
were run just about as some people
cared to run them, whether legal or
not. Those who were present know
what was done, which was no credit
to the town. And yet when we are
informed by authority that town
meeting is not an election, and that
those who happen to be in charge can
run things to suit themselves, there
does Not seem to be any redress
Then, when even the attorney general
Of the.Atate. or his Office boy, writes
that npthing can be done till com
EplsiDs
Eshq15d make D the complaint. are onea
who are guilty, why. there isn't
much chance for anything to be done,
unless people who believe in decent
and fair elections get down to business
and elect trustworthy men.

''Bemidji is getting to be one of the
most prosperousaz to wns of the state,
we have good class Of people there,

to boom the town along. A sash and

there in the near future. A mass
meeting CT the citizens was held last
Monday night to see what could be
done for the company, In the way Of
Inducements.
''The United States army has q
recruiting Office there, which is doing
better business than almost any point
In the state. A great many enliet-
ments are being made among the
lum nerjacks who are now leaving the
woods, as the logging season has
closed. They are as rule, strapping
fine fellows. and have no trouble at
all in passing the sphysical examina-
tion. Probably a dozen or more re-
cruits are secured esch day at Bemid-

MRS. HUFFEY LOCATED.

The st. Cloud Times says of Mrs.
Ida Huffey, who left q child, which
after ward died. at the home of J. L.
Bastien, in this city, that the woman
was employed by Simon Beim, far
mer living near st. Cloud that she
gave birth to child there. and got
money from her employer to go to
Murdock, where she said her parents
lived. The Times says:
"Since leaving little Falls. March
7th or 8th, absolutely nothing was
known of the whereabouts Of Mres
Huffey until this week. Mr.. Biem
to his surprise learned from q friend
residing near Park River, North Da-
kota. that the woman had been seen
there in company with a man of shady
character. The letter also stated that
the woman and her consort had de-
parted from there. some time last::week
presumably fo Niagara or Petersburg,
North Dakota. The woman's former
employer here is of the opinion that
she administered to-. the child some-
thing which made It sick and he an
nounces it az his intention to sift the
natter to the bottom. Mrs. Huffey' g
husband is serving time in the Wis
,consin state reformatory at Hudson,
on charge of bigamy, having deserted
Mrs Hufey and married aMinneapolis
woman, several months ago.

new PENSION RULING
Important Rule Regarding
Pension to Old -.
Soldiers.

The Commissioner of Pensions has
made the following ruling.
"Ordered in the adjudication Of pen
sion claims under the said act Of June
81, 1890, as amended it shall be taken
and considered as an evident fact If
the contrary does not appear, and If
all other legal requirements are pro-
perly made, that if the claimant has
passed the age Of 60 years he is dis
abled one half in ability to prefor m
manual labor and is entitled to be
rated at six dollars per month and af-
ter 70 at IL dollars per month. Al
lowance at higher rate. not exceed
ing $12 per month, will continue to
be made as heretofore. where dlsabili-
ties other than age shows condition
of inability to peform manual labor.
This order shall take effect April Is,
1904, and shall not be deemed retro
active. Former rules of Office fixing
minimum and maximum at 65 and 70
years respectively are hereby modified
as above.
The order itself is preceded by q
preamble which after citing The law,
says the pension bureau has establish
ed with reasonable certainty the aver
age nature and extent of the infirmity
of old age that 80 years after the Mex
ian war Congress in 1887 placed on
the pension roll all Mexican war sold
iers who were over 60 years old.
J. Frank Locke further explains the
ruling as follows in the Long Prairie
papers. No disability but that of age
enters into this ruling, and under
1t all soldiers who serve 80 days or
more in the Civil war, are entitled
to pension as follows:
Age 62, $6 per month; age IS. $S
per month, age 70 and over $12 per
month. Many suppose these rates will
be paid without making application
therefor, but that is mistake.
If you are receiving pension and
are entitled to one under this ruling
you must make application for it in
due form. If you are receiving a pen
ion, but not as much as this ruling
allows, you must make application
for the higher rate.
Pensions under this ruling do not
commence from the date when you
attain to certain age, but from date
when by formal application you estab-
lish the fact that you are Of certain

finest hay is the alfalfa. which always
finds q market. A man with a good
alfalfa land doesn't want anything
better. Oats here is cut to some ex-
tent quite green and cured for feeding
with the grain left in it. Corn and
wheat are used q good deal for the
poultry business, which has greatly
developed here.
California is one Of the great wheat
states, which surprises some who
think everything is fruit here. The
wheat farms, with the exception of
the big ranches, are not as large as
in Minnesota. They run from ten to
thirty acres, and the rest of the tract
is set off for fruit and berry raising
Garden truck Of all kinds is planted
between fruit trees, also vines of
pumpkins, squash, oitron. melons,
cucumbers, onions, ETC., 80 that many
a fruit tract Is also vast vegetable
garden.
Cows art high in price now and of
course milk and butter are also high.
