Dispatches from st. Petersburg today
express the belief that if Kuropatkin
intends to try and hold Mukden fight
ing may be expected almost inmedi-
ately. Oyama's armies now cover a
front of 90 miles, his wing extending
to the northward, east and west of
Mukden. A rapid advance of both
wings is expected when he is prepared
to close the net. So far there has been
no heavy fighting. Toxic remains 81
lent on the military situation and no
word comes from the japanese side.

People In the county certainly con-
cede that the city Of Little Falls Is
entitled to at least one county com.
missioner. Some years ago the Tran.
script advocated thst Little Falls, on
account Of Its population and the large
proportion of taxes 1t pays, was en-
titled to two commissioners. Now that
paper wants the city to tave none at
all. Unless Andrew Johnson ie
elected, the city will have no repre-
sentative on the county board for sev.
eral years, and when the opportunity
is presented to place an upright bust.
ness man on the board, no citizen Of
Little Falls can afford to do anything
else.

OREGON'S OTHER SIDE
Will Smiths Opinion Dif-
ferS Greatly From
Some

W. D. Smith, who went to Uufur,
near the Dalles, Oregon, last spring,
wrote to relatives here under date of
Oct. %, letter which gives an opin-
ion Of that part of OREGON which
would hardly induce people to go
there. Following are some extracts:
All the fruit has ripened and 1t be-
gins to look like we might have
change Of some kind. The air has
been so very smoky that you couldn't
see to the tcp of our nearest hill.
Ranchers are now hauling their
wheat. It is worth about 70 cents q
bushel, and is little white berry,
not quite No. 8 grade back in Gods
country. and mixed In with smut.
There are many contradictory stories
told around here about the yield per
acre. but should think 1t would run
from 10 to IS bushels. They have fin
ished seeding and 1t is coming up.
Potatoes are cent pound, prunes
cent pound, and haven't seen an
apple lit to eat, pears all wormy.
peaches 12 cents poand, no cab
bage. Too dry for gardening. and they
have got to have water to raise any
thing tut wheat.
This is terror of country. A
whole lot Of people got In here long
ago and got the free grants and home
steads and tree claims, and now they
are pretty we'll off, but I cant see
where newcomer can make anything
here, as it costs so much to get an
outfit. Wagons are $50 to 800 apiece,
without any box, and box costs $40.
Anything over 1900 lbs. In horses is
way up. They will hitch up lot of
bronchos, 4, 6 and 8-horse teams, and
make lots of dust and that's about all.
Hay is 80 to SIS ton, feed $25 a
ton.
If this we're such great country to
raise stuff, there wouldn't be such a
price on everything. Lard is worth 70
cents for a 6ve-pound pail, butter 90
cents roll Of Ia POUNDS. Meat
don't speak Of It, only as thing gone
by.
They have got lot of things here
called hogs, with four legs have
been trying to get up stock company
here, gather up these razorbacks and
ship back to Gods country for pump
kin sp]itters, but I can't tell yet
whether can get it through. If l
could get that hot air in Moro to put
an ad in his paper think 1t would
work.

THE FAIR GROUND QUESTION.
The following Is submitted BY q

taxpayer:
The question authorizing the COM
missioners of Morrison county to pur-
chase a tract Of land for a fair
ground will be submitted to the voters
Of Morrison county at the election to
be held November 8, 1904.
If the vote carries the county board
can purohaee enough and to answer all
necessary purposes, including some
land on which to build poor house,
where the inmates may be engaged
In. farming and gardening, which
would make them to a considerable
extent self-supporting, whereas now
ali cash is paid for their support,
which,. amounts to large sum in the
course Of year. The city of Little
Falls, Alone levies es, 600 each year
for the support Of the poor, which 10
generally all used up. All of the large
counties in the state have poorfarm,
and many that are much smaller than

the poor a chance to assist in earning
their living, they would be mach bet-
ter. cared for and more comfortable In
a:place fitted up expressly for them.
There can be no valid objection to the
county purchasing what land 1t needs
at this time. Land Is now very cheap
in and about Little Falls, where it
is expected the fair will be held. II
the commissioners are authorized by
the vote Of the people to purchase
the land they can use their own juda-
ment in making the purchase. So far
as I know no one Ia opposing the pro-
position. 80 unanimous vote In favor
of the proposition is looked for. Don't
overlook it. The proposition will be
printed at the bottom of the ballet.

SAME OLD GAME
Sixth Dist. Congressman
Working the Promise
Racket.

Congressman Buckman, Of the Sixth
district, in hope of saving his politi-
cal scalp, is said to be promising pat
ronage now held by republicans ap.
pointed from his district to other re-
publicans not yet cared for, and If he
Is not found out before the election he
may make 1t work successfully for
votes, says the st. Paul Globe.
Cleve W. VanDyke, the able Alex
andria young man who has taken up
the gauntlet with B1ckman, was In
st. Paul yesterday, and said that he
had discovered place where Buck.
man had promised a minister In
Douglas county teachers berth In
the Philippines, now held by one Of
his constituents, and doubtless there
are other Offices, now filed by Mr..
Buckman's friends, which will be
promised to men not yet cared for.
The issue in the Sixth district will be
made the question of the control of
the trusts by the federal government
and political and business honesty Of
candidates for Office.
The idea cf lot of commissioners
going out to inspect ditch or bridge
or road when one could do 1t as we'll,
is ridiculous, as well as costly. En-
gineers are hired and paid to look af
toS tho ditch xrorb Who a1nn :. oo,,,- -
petent to say anything about whether
the work is we'll done or mott And
therefore there is no excuse to visit the
ditch except to soak the taxpayers.

axe.
