Granite Falls, Mimi, Nov. 29.-In
the upper portion Of. the Minnesota val
ley, on the banks of the beautiful Min
nesota river, costly nestles the little
city Of Granite Falls, the county seat of
Yellow Medicine county, 121 miles west
of Minneapolis and about seventy east
of the western border of the state. Not
far from here was the theater of inter
est that attracted the attention and in
spired the sympathy Of people who APP
preciated the hardships of pioneer life
and had learned of the additional priva-
tions caused by the Indian outbreaks of
1893.
There were no favored ones at that
time. Those who were seeking to estab-
lish homes for themselves, the Indian
agents, the missionaries and their fami-
lies who made their homes among the
once peaceful red men were suddenly
=, set upon and exposed to suffering and
| death. Only after many hard-fought
battle did the settler in arms, aided by
the government soldier, enjoy peace and
quiet. ~
Forty years have passed since then:

streets Of Wadena, still the opportuni-
ties in this direction have been merely
touched, and in a short time much more
will be done in this direction. The lands
lying north from Wadena along the
line of the Great N orthern railroad,
are also finely adapted to dairying and
diversified farming. For some fifteen
or twenty miles north from Wadena the
land is partly timbered with hardwood,
which for the most part is rather scat
tering, with openings Of hazel brush
and natural meadow land. All of these
lands are adapted to clover raising and
make dairying the most suitable occu-
patton. These lands north from Wade
ma have not yet been utilized for this
purpose to any great extent, SO that
land can be bought at low prices-from
1926 an acre and upwards to about
$3.50 for wild lands. which is cheap,

at Wadena receive shipments Of cream

the claims of central and northern Min
Fnesota as dairy region, each Of which
ne may sqbstantiate, and compare them
with conditions existing elsewhere. It

where land is cheap and easily ac-

The region is well adapted to the
growing of cattle into beef. All the
| reasons above given, with reference to
the adaptation Of the region for dairy
ing, will apply with reference to its
adaptation for beef-growing and nearly
all Of them will apply equally.
| Every business man considers the in.
terest on his capital invested as a legiti.
mate item Of expense. Let the expense
on a high priced farm be added to the
cost of, for instance, the production of
young cattle, and let the cost Sc
reached be compared with that Of a
yearling grown in the Gland Of Big
Red Clover" in northern Minnesota
where cheaper land, creator yield, bet
ter grass and grain and longer pas
turing season, keep the cost at min.

its practical application as yearly ex.
emplifed by settlers is stronger than

Educational Interests.

Educational Interests.
Education is something in which citi-
zens take great pride, and ample pro-
vision is made for all branches of com
mon and high school instruction. Two
buildings have been erected, one on the
east side Of the river with three depart
ments and an enrolment of seventy
five pupils, and the other on the west
side with eight departments and the
high school. The attendance is 315,
81 being in the high school. Ten
teachers are employed.
The school building is large and
roomy and of modern design. Text
books and other necessities are supplied
by the school district, and the high
school has all the apparatus for sue
cessful work. With generous board
of education and an efficient corps of
teachers the school today ranks well
with others of the state. The West
ern Minnesota Teachers association
makes this its regular yearly meeting
place.
The new city hall is centrally located
and is an object of interest. The build
ing is of brick. The. larger portion of
the ground floor is devoted to the fire
department. The public library, city
councilroom and large assembly,
are found on the second floor.
