The Primary Election Law.

There has been a great deal said
since the Republican state convention
about extending the primary election
law so as to take in state officers as
we'll as those Of the county, congress
sional and legislative. A great many
who have heretofore been opposed to
the law have come out as advocates of
this move. It would seem to be one of
the best moves that could be made and
the Independent Times endorsed the
same. The Minneapolis Telegram in
speaking of the move says that while
it is move that is all right, it is also
one that the state should be careful of.
It calls attention to what it says is
fact should the law be so extended, that
the cities of St. Paul, Minneapolis and
Duluth would have it in their power
under primary election law to name
the gubernatorial candidate of each of
the parties. For this reason it says, it
is in favor of so extending the law to
include state officers, but it warns the
country to look out before it enters in
to such an arrangement. There is Of
course, possibility of such a scheme
working. Doubtless more of a pos
sibility that it would work than that it
would not. And if that would be the
outcome of the extension the country
does not want it.
BY throwing their strength largely
for one man who would be agreeable
to them and getting several candidates
in different parts of the state, which
would not be a difficult matter uuder
the primary system, it would not be a
difficult matter for the cities, as the
Telegram points out, to control the
nomination for governor. 1t may be
said that this scheme could not be
worked successfully. Possibly not at
all times, yet more often than one
might think, for if the state vote could
be divided among a number of candi-
dates, the cities by standing compare
lively solid for their man could easily
nominate him. a-.>s + .>...e III
Instead of the direct primary system
it might be better to have delegates
elected in the primaries to the state
convention. This would prevent much
of the trouble that has been complain
ed of this year and would give the peo-
pie direct say as to whom they want
for state officers without their wish be.
ing manipulated through county con-
ventions. It is q matter that will baar

FIRST IN LIVESTOCK
minnesota State Fair to Have a Great
National Exhibit This Year.

Perhaps the most important feature
OF the Minnesota State Fair of 1904 will
be- the national live stock exhibition
which it is believed will this year sur
pass all previous displays Of pure bred
cattle at this great fair. Several years
ago, the management of the Minnesota
State Fair interested some of the great
national breeders associations in max
ing exhibits and since then they have
been successful in developing an annual
display of pure bred cattle not equaled
among state fairs of the country.
This year the American Shorthorn
Breeders Association, American Here.
ford Breeders Association and the
American Aberdeen Angus Breeders
Association, join with the Minnesota
State Fair in giving special premiums
which in aggregate will amount to
over $4,000. This, it should be re-
membered, is in addition to the very
complete and liberal list of premiums
given by the fair to all other breeds Of
cattle. The officers of the great asso-
cations and of the fair have assurances
from exhibitors which indicate that the
display this year will be the largest
ever made on the Minnesota fair
grounds, and that the auction sale of
Shorthorns and Herefords, which has
been made feature of the display,
Will be one of the best of the series.
AT the Minnesota Fair, the cattle are
judged in great circus tent, so arrang-
ed that the thousands of people can
see the cattle in the ring, and the auc
ton takes place under similar condi-
tlons.. Cattle bought at the fair are
transported to the farm at nominal
rates.
The Minnesota State Fair is held on
the great fair grounds midway between
Minneapolis and st. Paul, and this year
it will open on Monday, August 29 and
close on Saturday, September 3. Half
fare rates have been made on all rail-
roads throughout the Northwest.

Mower County's big Fair That is in
Prospect.
From Owatonna Journal:

Hon. John J. Furlong of Mower
county, and three hustling business
men Of Austin passed through Owa-
tonna Saturday night, returning home
from the cities where they had spent
several days in the interests of their
county fair. Mr.. Furlong, who perhaps
has as wide an acquaintance as any
man in the state, and who, by the way,
lis also known as just plain John, in.
formed the journal that the outlook
for their having the best fair ever held
in Mower county was never better. He
said that everybody in his county seem.
ed to have caught the spirit and that
doctors, lawyers, merchants, chiefly the
farmer, were working together for that
end.
"Our little city is passing through as
hard times as we have ever known
yet our business men have raised
$1,10O00 and there is $500 more in
sight should we lie unfortunate in
having rainy weather, OF any thing like
that" said John.
"Where everybody puts his shoulder
to the wheel, things are bound tc
move," he added land our experience
demonstrates this.''
"a few years ago our association
was over 81 800 in debt Not only that
but our fairs were failures. There were
little petty jealousies and constant
knocking on all sides, and the con
sequence was failure and debt. Now
it is just the reverse. There is en-
thusiasm galore. Everyone is vieing
with everyone else to see who can dc
the most for the success of the fair
aud the tables are completely turned
Success is written all over our project
in great large letters"
"We have secured the Minneapolis

VACATION OUTING
An Austin Girl Amid the Potato
Fields and bitches of Chisago
County. .
NORTH BRANCH, Mimi, !
August 6, 1904. !
DEAR AUSTIN FRIENDS:


My vacation has been spent very
pleasantly near the village of North
Branch, Chisago county. Perhaps a
short description Of the village and
surrounding country would be of in
terest to you. North Branch is vii
lage of about 700 inhabitants. 1t is
situated forty-one miles north of the
twin cities OH a branch of the Northern
Pacific Railway. fhe buildings both
residences and business are excellent
for town of it's size. The public
school system is very good, fine teach
CTS are employed and there is an en-
rollment of 1870 pupils. Rural free
delivery is we'll established here, there
being five routes extending in different
directions. In length they average
about 25 miles and the total population
served is 2670.
The soil Of the surrounding country
is sandy, just enough grain is raised to
supply the home demand. The land is
we'll adapted to the cultivation of
potatoes, fields Of them here as we see of
oats in Mower county. North Branch
may we'll be called '"The Potato City,
675 car loads of potatoes five to six
hundred bushels to the car were ship
ped from North Branch from the crop
of 1908, which we know was not the
best any where. Also twenty-five car
loads of starch so to 60 thousand lbs.
per car, it requiring seven lbs of pota-
toes to one lb. of starch.
Hay is another important product.
Acres and acres of meadow land may
be seen and haying and potato digging
are looked forward to with as much in
terest as the farmers of Mower county
look forward to harvest and threshing
time. Garden produce is also raised
extensively. There is a huge tamarack
swamp extending 7thro the county that
renders many acres of land practically
SAOCAVOOs " OFClCO1AO GllS uI111Cu1Uy
immense bitches are being constructed.
These bitches are sixteen feet wide at
the surface and about eight feet at the
bottom and from three to five feet deep.
One can readily see that no small
machine is used for this1 purpose; 80
horse power engine is used. The
machine makes its own road which is
forty feet wide as it moves along. The
estimated cost of the machine is be-
tween six and seven thousand dollars
The ditch is public property the same
as a public highway and is paid for in
the same way. Two miles and half
from North Branch is what we call the
county poor farm. The new brick build
ing built last year and costing about
$4,000 is one of the finest in the state.
1t is any thing but poor house.

Protects the System Against
Catarrh
Hyomei Prevents Colds and Cures
Grip and Catarrh. Money
Back if it Fails.

IAN ounce of prevention is worth
pound OF cure" A few breaths of Hy-
Omei through the neat pocket inhaler
that comes with every outfit will check
a cold or the grip at the start, and pre-
vent serious and lasting illness.
In all catarrhal troubles and diseases
of the air passages, Hyomei has pos
tive action not possessed by any other
medicine or treatment. 1t is pleasant
and convenient to use; simply put 20
drops of Hyomei in the inhaler and
breathe it few minutes, four times d
day. In this way every particle of air
that enters the lungs is charged with a
healing balsam that kills all catarrhal
gems, soothes and allays the irritated
mucous membrane, vitalizes the blood
with ozone, and makes a permanent
and complete cure
A HyOmei outfit costs only 81, and
contains an inhaIer, medicine dropper
and bottle of HvOmei. The inhaler
lasts a lifetime and when more Hyo-
mel is needed, extra bottles can be ob-
tanned for soc.

guarantee with every Hyomei outfit
and will refund the money if it does
not cure. I'm
