FOR GRAZING PURPOSES.
Northern Minnesota Tracts May Be Uti
lied for Feeding Cattle.

lied for Feeding Cattle.
A party of stockmen and capital
lists, mostly from Chicago, are form
ing company for the purpose of buy
ing and utilizing for cattle grazing
purposes the great stretches of cut
over lands in Northern Minnesota.
Thousands of acres of cut-over
lands are to be found in that section
of the State, and as it has been strip
ped of all marketable timber, it is now
practically valueless to the lumber
companies and others who own it. All
of these tracts are thickly covered
with wild grass, while in many places
where logging was carried on more
extensively timothy and clover is
found in abundance, making the finest
grazing lands to be found.
Should the deal go through it IS the
intention of the promoters to bring the
cattle in from other states each spring
and place them on the grazing grounds
in charge of cowboys, who will look
after them until fall, when the stock
will be shipped out and sold.

MAKING MACARONI FLOUR.

Duluth Mill Busy Grinding the New
Wheat.
The manufacture of macaroni wheat
Hour, which was begun at Daisy mill,
East End, few weeks ago, has proved
to be even more successful than was
expected. A ready market has been
built up for the product and the -four
seems to be meeting with general ia
vOr.
The mill has been operating steadily
for several weeks. A portion of the
plant has been used for the macaroni
Hour and part for the manufacture of
the ordinary white -four. At times,
however, the latter product has not
been ground, the macaroni section not
being dependent on the rest of the
plant for it's power.
Macaroni flour is comparatively a
new product on the market, and there
are now but few mills in the country
making it. On account of it's being
practically unknown some trouble
was at first experienced in building up
a market.
Half of the Daisy mill is being used
for the manufacture of the new flour.
The capacity of the plant is about
3,4OO barrels day. At present about
275 barrels a day are being ground.
For the short time that it has been
on the market macaroni flour has
demonstrated that it is cheaper arti-
Gle and in some respects better than
the ordinary wheat four.-Duluth

WHEAT BRINGS S1.1O
Princeton Roller Mill Pays $I.Io for
Old Wheat Observation-Disclosures

cert Aug. 10Th Under Auspices
of Company G.

Wheat has been soaring the past few
days and the local market quotes the
cereal at SLOT for No. l and 81. O4 for
No. 2. The market broke few cents
early yesterday, but even at present
prices the farmer who has any wheat
to sell or will have in the immediate
future will not be complaining. AS a
result of the rise in the price of wheat.
flour has been advanced to 1915 for
"Vestal," s3.O5 for 900 Per Cent,
and $3.50 for Banner. Milling pro-
ducts of all kinds have also been ad-
vanced as the market report will show.
The Princeton roller mill paid sl.lO
for load of three-year old wheat yes
terday which was hauled in by A. G..
Bonkson. Mr.. Bonkson said that it
was the highest price he had ever been
paid for wheat. During the Letter
boom in wheat the roller mill paid
at one time S1.57 a bushel for wheat,
but Mr.. Craig says that sl.10 is the
highest price he ever paid on the
Princeton market for wheat under
normal conditions of the market.

Dunn's Platform.

Robert G. Dunn, Republican can
didate for governor, was nominated
because the people believed in him
believed that he is a man to whom the
right government of the State can
safely be trusted. Mr.. Dunn's con-
duct since the convention which NOM
mated him is renewing assurance that
he is the man of all others to be made
the next governor of the State. The
thing which distinguished him as State
auditor was independent and decisive
action in the interest of the State. The
way Mr.. Dunn is making his own
platform is recommending him to
every voter of the State regardless
of political utilization. Shortly after
the convention Mr.. Dunn declared in
no uncertain terms for an extention of
the primary election law to State
officials. A few days ago he an
nounced that if elected governor he
would do everything in his power to
secure an increase in the gross earn
ings tax on railroad and other cor
porations of a similar nature. prop
osition for which he has labored earn
estly for years. At this rate Mr.
Dunn will soon have platform that
is as broad as the State.-Bemidii

will be made to determine whether the
surface indications are what old oil
men think they are.

Sailing Under False COlors.

The Minneapolis Journal cannot
conceive of the people resenting the
attempt of U. S. marshals, U. S. land
officers, postma sters, bank examiners,
game wardens, and other appointees
of the governor attempting to dictate
the Republican State ticket. So in
everything that was done at the con-
vehtion it imagines it sees the cloven
hoof of James j. Hill. The position
of the Journal and the articles in that
paper, are an insult to every man in
the State who voted the Dunn ticket at
the primaries.
Outside the twin cities, two-thirds of
all the delegates elected to the State
convention were for Dunn. The Jour-
nal should be in better business than
in making and reiterating the bare
statement, that these delegates, and
the people who elected them, were con-
trolled by merger sentiment and are
the creatures of J. J. Hill. The Jour-
nal is trying to make it's readers be-
lieve what it does not believe itself.
1t is endeavoring to create a false
impression. It is engaged in disrep-
utable business and while engaged in
such manner is not a fit paper to find
it's way into Republican homes.
While posing as consistent Repub-
lican paper it has for years been a
breeder of discomfort; a fomenter of
dissension. It contributed to John
Limbs big vote in 1896. 1t helped de-
feat Eustis in 1898 and it practically
supported Lind in 1900. In 1902 it did
more to defeat Congressman Loren
Fletcher than any other Democratic
paper in the State and is to-day
preaching free trade and laying up
grief and trouble for the Republican
nominee for congress in the Fifth dis
trict. It may fairly be described as
a Democratic paper with some .Repub-
lican tendencies-and it should not
longer be allowed to sail under false
colors.-Aitkin Age.

WILL COME BY MAIL.
Primary and General Election Re-
to be Sent by Mail.
Provisions of New Law that Does
Away With Expensive Election
Return Messengers.

According to the provisions of new
law that will 60 into effect this fall
there will be no further use of the fleet
footed messenger with the election
returns from the far away election
precincts, for he has been legislated
out of a job at s1.00 per, and ten cents
per mile. The last session of the leg
islature passed law providing. that
all election returns from precincts
fifteen miles Or more away from the
county seat of any county shall be
sent by the election clerk to the county
auditor by registered mail. 1t takes
only a few pennies to register the
package containing the returns, while
under the old way of sending messen-
gers the cost was considerable. The
law provided that the party carrying
the returns should receive the fee of
81, and ten cents mile for going and
coming. Here in Mile Laos county
the cost Of getting the returns from the
lake precincts was no small sum, and
the highest sum paid two years ago
was $l4 for returns from one of the
lake precincts. In Mile Laos county
many of the precincts will come under
the operation of the new law, and
there will be ten out of the sixteen
precincts that will forward election
returns by registered mail. The pre-
cincts that are within the fifteen mile
radius of the court house are Prince
ton town and village, Greenbush
Bogus Brook, Milaca and Milo.
County Auditor Whitney has re-
ceived the paraphernalia for the pri-
mary election, and among the imple-
ments of citizenship are small boxes
containing twine and needle for string
ing the ballots, six cheap stub pencils
with chord attached so that the voter
cannot graft one of the very valuable
pieces Of lead, a bar of sealing wax,
a candle and small seal on which
appears the words, ELECTION Returns
Mile Laos County, The wax. the
candle and the seal are used in sealing
up the returns for mailing. The new
law is good thing for the stationery
and supply men who furnish the coun-
ties with their supplies, and for that
matter it is a good thing for the county
and the tax payer as it will mean the
saving of many thousands of dollars
in securing election returns. It is just
as safe and much cheaper for Uncle
Sam to carry the returns and the in
novation will prove good one. -'..'

A COSTLY ASSAULT.
James H. Norcross of Milaca Assaults
w. S. Foster and is Fined in
Two Justice Courts.
Goes Before q r1ilaca Justice, is Fined
S. and is Afterwards is Fined
by Princeton Justice.

Justice Chadbourne and jury were
busy last Friday listening to the evil
dence in case of assault in the third
degree, James 81. Norcross of Milaca
having been charged by W. S. Foster
with the Offense which was committed
in the store of 81. r. Mallette at Mil
AGA on Tuesday of last week. Mr..
Foster had Judgment against Nor
cross and had commenced garnishee
proceedings to secure the amount of
the Judgment and this incensed Nor
cross who met Foster and without
warning made savage attack on the
attorney before he could protect him
self. Norcross dealt Foster several
hard raps on the head and face and
dazed him so that he could not protect
himself. After committing the assault
Norcross went before Justice Ward
and stated that he had assaulted
Foster and on the voluntary complaint
the justice fined Norcross S. and costs
which was paid. But Mr.. Foster did
not propose that his assailant should
get off SO easily and in a manner that
he deemed unlawful. The case was
brought before Justice Chadbourne
and @. A. Dickey was retained for the
defendant. An attempt was made to
dismiss the case on the grounds that
the defendant had been tried, had been
fined for the assault and had paid the
fine. But County Attorney Ross as
certained from the justice that no
formal complaint had been filed
against Norcross nor did the justice
docket show at what time the assault
had been committed and Justice Chad
bourne held that there were no pro-
visions in the law that would justify a
man after having committed an offense
going before justice of his own free
will and after acknowledging having
been guilty of an assault pay fine
imposed by the justice. 1t had been
done good many times, but contrary
to law, and the case before the court
had to proceed to trial, the defendant
refusing to plead and waving jury.
but the court started in by allowing
the defendant the benefit of the doubt
and entered plea of not guilty on
the record and let the jury hear the
evidence. A verdict of guilty was
returned and the justice fined Nor
cross 500, or sixty days, the fine and
costs amounting to S57.47. An appeal
was taken to the district court, defend
ant furnishing 500 bonds.

board, however, continued to pay for
tuberculosis COWS and has expended
many thousand dollars for this pur-
pose in the last year.
The action of the State auditor in
refusing to pay warrants for tubercu-
losis COWS is temporary. The State
auditor wishes to inquire into the law
and see whether he is authorized to
issue the warrants. Should he find
that the Krostue bill was repealed in
it's entirety, it is probable that the
State live stock sanitary board will
ask for additional legislation at the
next session.-Pioneer Press.

right in on the Minneapolis Journal

A TANGLED MESS,
Bungling Legislation Regarding Payment
for Diseased Cows and Horses.

Bungling Legislation Regarding Payment
for Diseased Cows and Horses.
Minnesota dairymen whose COWS are
condemned on account of tuberculosis
and killed by order of the live stock
sanitary board are not likely to be
reimbursed by the State. State Audi
tor S. G. Iverson yesterday instructed
W. A. Cowing, who draws the war
rants in the auditors Office, until
further notice not to pay any bills in
compensation of horses killed on &C
count of CHAMBERS or COWS condemned
on account of tuberculosis.
This action was taken by the State
auditor after conference with Judge
Fish of the State revision commission,
who pointed out that the law under
which owners of glandered horses and
tuberculosis COWS are reimbursed by
the State was repealed by the law
creating the State live stock sanitary
board.
Several thousand dollars has been
paid under the law which was re-
pealed, and it may require a legisla-
tive appropriation to legalize the pay
ments that have been made
The last Legislature passed law
known as the Krostue bill, providing
that the State pay three-fourths of the
value of horses condemned on account
of CHAMBERS and of cows killed on &C.
count of tuberculosis.
Afterward the legislature passed
the law creating the live stock sani-
tary board empowering the board to
condemn animals affected with con-
tagious diseases but making no pro-
vision for reimbursing the owners.
The provision in the Krostue bill
relating to glandered horses stipulated
that the appraisers in ascertaining the
value of the animals should not take
into consideration the fact that they
were affected with CHAMBERS, but that
the owners should be paid three
fourths of the actual value of the
horses were they in their normal con.
dition. Former Attorney General
Douglas held that the legislature ex-
ceeded it's authority in making this
provision and the live stock sanitary
board consequently refused to pay any
claims for glandered horses. The

The Review takes the stand that
there certainly is room towards estab-

should be graded and better stand

are standard, why should there not be
on potatoes? If the shippers could
organize strong enough to enforce the

way.-Osseo Review.

Northwest Not Dependent on Wheat.

NoiIHWesC NOC dependent on Wheat.
so intense is the interest of the peo-
pie OF the northwest in the wheat crop
and in the market transactions based
upon it, that they are apt to allow it
to have undue effect on their attitude
toward business in general. One
would think, while listening to the by
play of words on the street, in offices,
and wherever men meet and exchange
few words, that the whole welfare of
the millions of people in the northwest
was bound up in the question as to
whether Or not there was to be a nor
mai crop of wheat in the northwest this
year. Admitting, as seems to be the
fact, that there will be less than nor
mai crop. shadow seems to pass
over the spirits of men; they become
gloomy and pessimistic and inclined
to lose heart in their work whether it
has to do with the grain markets or
not.
The fact of the case is that wheat is
but one item in all the multitudes OF
items which go to make up the sum OF
the business of the northwest. Grant
ing that the most gloomy prophecies
as to the spring wheat crop are veri-
fed, still abundant ground for thank
fulness and hope remains. A partial
wheat failure or even serious damage
to the wheat crop is unfortunate in
that it blunts the edge of enthusiasm;
it dulls the buoyant prosperity which
the northwest is enjoying, but it should
do little more than that. Other crops
are assured, or giving promise OF
wonderful results: the great dairy in
terests of the section are increasing,
and its live stock interests are con-
tributing more largely this year than
ever before to the aggregate wealth OF
the community. All the varied indus.
tries esta blished in this favored region
are unimpaired.
Fnere is no real reason why any one
should look upon the early future
through blue spectacles. Take for
example, the great cash wheat market
of Minneapolis. During the twelve
months ending July 3Oth, the wheat
receipts were about S6,OOO,OOO bush
els. During the same time receipts OF
other grains were about $4,000, zoo
bushels.
When we compare any possible loss
in wheat with the entire business
agricultural, industrial and CONNER.
cial-of the northwest, it seems almost
absurd to permit whatever there may
be of loss in the wheat business of 1904
to cloud our spirits and lessen our &C.
tivities. The northwest is prosperous
on the basis of this years output, and
let us not be discouraged because one
little cloud for a moment obscures the
Sun.-COmmercial West.
