A QUAINT OLD CITY.

Bruges, the Chief Industry of which
Is Lace Making.
Bruges lace has been made in the
converts of Bruges by old women
whose hands have grown stiff clicking
the bobbins back and forth, who learn
ed when they were children from other
old women, who in turn had learned it
from other old women, and so on back
for hundreds of years. Lace making is
the chief industry OF this city of Bel
GUM, the capital of the province of
West Flanders, but that it has not
made for the prosperity of the place
is attested by the fact that In a popu-
lation of something like 10000 there
are $4,000 paupers. 1t is very quaint
old city, the corporation of weavers of
Bruges having been celebrated in the
time of Charlemagne. 1t reached the
height of it's prosperity In the fifteenth
century, when it was one of the great
commercial emporiums Of the world
and was famed far and wide for its
tapestries. The great prosperity, how
ever, led to such extravagant habits IN
dress and social life that Charles v
was obliged to pass stringent sumptu
airy laws. Complications between sub
seqhent rulers and the people led t.
the removal of all trade to ANTWERP
and the ruin Of Bruges as CONNER
ciaI center, but the name and fame o
its lace have been mperishable.-Nev

wider than the notches, they will over
lap two inches. Two pieces of iron,
with rings in the end, are bolted to the

G. c. TowNER DIES.
PASSES Away Unexpectedly ON Tues
day Morning.


U. z. Towner, an old and respected
resident OF the town of Morris, passed
away unexpectedly on Tuesday morn
ing. The cause of his death was
blood poisoning, induced by catching
cold Wills suffering with an attack
OF eryslpelas on his hand. Mr..
sowner was able to be about OF
Saturday, and probably at that time
took cold. Sympathy is especially
expressed for the family as Mrs.
Towner and other members of the
family are also suffering with erysipe-
las.
Gardner G. Towner was born in
Essex county, New York, August
18th, 1843. In youth he learned the
blacksmlth's trade, but at the age
of Is joined the army, enlisting
August 25th, 1852 in Co. L., N NTH
N. Y. Cavalry, and serving until
June 9Th, 1865. After the war he
returned 70 New York where he
lived until 1873. when he came to
Minnesota, settling in Mcleod
county. He stayed there only short
time and then came to Stevens
county, settling eventually on the
farm on which he died in Morris
township. During his many years
residence in that town, he has been a
careful and Intelligent farmer, de-
voting considerable attention to the
improvement of kiuds and quality of
crops. He has been a public spirit
ed citizen, and his death, is a loss
not only to the members of his fam
lily, but to the town of Morris and
Stevens county, also.
Mr.. Towner was married Septem-
Der %, 1868 to Maggie O'Brien, who
survives him. To them have been
born five children, Archie S. and
Warren c., who reside in the town Of
Morris.
Three daughters, now Mrs, Wal
lace, Of Spokane, Wash, and Mrs.
Robacher, of Idaho, and Mrs. George
Pushor of Morris.
The funeral will be held on Sun
day afternoon from the home in
Morris township.

Fattenfng the Turkey.

The largest and heaviest turkeys /
ever raised were finished off as fol-
lows, says writer in an exchange:
About the last Of October, or as very
cold nights came on, l shelled new
corn, placing some Of this in a kettle,
boiling it from morning until noon. 1t
would be nearly cold in the evening at
the evening mealtime. The birds
would be fed all they would eat just
before they went to roost. This boil
ing made the corn easy to digest. 1
always keep grit and good clean water
where the birds can get it. At the
price turkeys have sold for the last
few years, a pound or two added to
their weight makes cite an item in the

Vermont Notes.

Farms are selling rapidly. mostly to-
men from st. Lawrence county, n. Y,
and nearly all to become permanent
homes. One was sold to New Jersey
party for a summer residence. Desert
ed farms are nearly obsolete in that
section.
Pulp buyers are securing every stick
of spruce possible. One company has
bought several thousand acres, consist

FINDS A GOOD MARKET.
Last Argument Against Durnn
Wheat Disposed of.


The last argument against durum
wheat has been disposed Of, and it
has established for itself a place IN
the markets of the world TIE
market has been growing better
right along, and in the local market
there is now only an s or 1Oc spread.
This difference, it is expected will
gradually disappear, Yesterdays
Minneapolis Journal tells of how the
new wheat has at last found mar
ket:-
Advices today from Duluth tell Of
the sale Of another cargo of durum or
mecaroni wheat, to go to a Mediter-
ranean port. It is figured by a
prominent exporter that sales of new
crop durum wheat for export to date
aggregate 100000 bushels. AS the
northwest is estimate to have raised
about IL, 100000 bushels this season,
half t. g crop is already disposed Of.
! The remarkable thing about it is
that durum wheat is selling in
Europe at practically the same prices
as No. l northern spring wheat
shipped from Manitoba, and only q
shake higher than No. 2 hard Kansas
wheat. This disposes of the last
great argument against the produc-
ton of durum wheat-the contention
that there would be no market for it
About thee years ago the agricul.
tural department began to push the
durun. wheat proposition in the
northwest. The large miilers, the
leading milling trade journals, and
one noted crop expert, fought the
proposition. The Journal believed
it good thing, on the proposition
that if the wheat would grow in the
so-called semi-arid sections, the pro
Iductivity OF the northwest would be
increased, the production of new
wealth be larger every year and land
values would be rendered more
stable.
The macaroni wheat controversy of
two years ago was the feature of the
grain trade. Some believed in it,
others condemned it. Meanwhile
the farmers have taken more to it,
altho the spread of the acreage has
not been SO rapid as was predicted
by Secretary Wilson and Mr., Carlton
of the department of agriculture.
For two years prices were so low,
relatively, that the larger Yields,
compared with ordinary spring
wheat, did not compensate farmers
for the work, but this year durum
prices have ranged we'll up, and
With big yields farmers who put it in
last season have made good money
In all probability the acreage next
season will be much larger than ever
before. G. It. Thornton Of Duluth,
who has given the subject closest at
tention, says
''One of the genuine surprises of
the fall season is the demand for
durum wheat. Early in the summer
American exporters offered and sold
little at Sc cents for No 2 in the
Duluth market. Since then there
has been a steady advance of cents
a bushel, and owing to advancing
lake, rail and ocean freights, foreign
markets are really up equal to IL
cents a bushel. We are, in fact,
getting bids at II cents advance
over earlier prices, from the early
buyers who have already received
their initial shipments and know
what the stuff is like"

WOLF BoUNTIES.
Sum of $377,o72.22 Paid Out For
The scaIps.

The scalps.
Wolf hunting is profitable
business in Minnesota. Since the
passage Of the first wolf bounty laws
IN 1866. wolf b lnters haye received
from the state treasury the amazing
sum of $377, 573 %; while from county
governments they have received an
additional S5l, 269.37
In other words. 1923 ,94i.59 has
been paid out for the purpose of
Wlping out the timber and prairie
wolves which made life a burden for
the early settlers, and which still
ravage stock farms in the northern
parts of the state. Even more than
this has been paid out, as msny
counties make separate bounty, of
which the state makes no record.
The state has been paying wolf
bounties for over forty years; and
although Minnesota is now we'll
settled state. it is evident that wolf
bounties will be paid for many years
. to come. There are now in the hands
of the state auditor for payment
bounty claims amounting to oyer
$4,000, and some of the northern
countries will receive over $1,000
each in county payments this year.
In the northern part of the state
wolf hunting is a profitable divers
ion, Last week trap hunter from
Michigan appeared at the office OF
State Auditor Iverson and asked for
information as to the bounty paid on
wolves, and the counties where the
highest additional county bounty
was paid. This hunter has gone
into Itasca, Beltrami, Isanti, Mar
shall and other northern counties,
and expects to make fair-sized in
come from the staying of wolves.
The state pays bounty of So so
for each full grown wolf killed, and
a bounty of ST. for each cub. In
Beltrami county the county pays the
same bounty, so that tor every wolf
killed the slayer receives cash pay
ment of $1a. The returns to the
state auditor from Beltrami county
show that 159 wolves and eight cubs
have been killed there, for which the
state will pay $l,193. The hunters
have already collected this from the
state and have collected as much
more in additional bounty from the
county government,
ltasca county pays an additional
bounty of SIS for each grown wolf;
St, Louis pays an additional bounty
equal to that of the state; Isanti
county pays SIS: Winona county, IS;
Wadena, Stearns and other counties.
So SO.
The bounty paid by the state has
beeu changed at different times. At
first it was IS; in 1867 it was $40, and
the state paid out $l1,33O. This was
too much for the resources of the
state government at that time, and
in 1869 the bounty was cut down to
$3. In 1870 only $3.50 was paid,
and in 1871 only $96.
For five years the state then
abolished the wolf bounty and left it
with the counties to pay the hunters.
In 1876 a SIS bounty was established,
and in 1908 this was raised to So so.
A female wolf formerly brought a
bounty of SIS, but all full grown
wolves are now paid for at $3.50 each.
The northern counties do not
monopolize the wolves. Claims are
now before the auditor for seven
wolves oud twenty six cubs killed in
Goodhue county; six wolves killed in
Anoka county; one wolf and thirty
eight cubs killed in Stearns county
and twenty-three cubs killed i'll

SpIit-Log Drag a success.

| wv SAit IhS 1oA1S"IIS 1toL1 VII
magazine, Worlds Work to show
with what enthusiasm the 80 called
split-log drag method of road making
is being taken up in Iowa and else
where Why don't the farmers OF
Stevens county give it trial?
Farmers in every locality should
make start and talk the matter up
with their neighbors. We will give
a years subscription to the Tribune
to the first Stevens county farmer who
reports to us the successful use of
this simple device on the public
highway. Here is the clipping:
Thanks to Mr.. D. Ward King, the
discoverer of new mothod of max
ing good roads out of poor ones by
the use of simple home made drag,
the farmers of Missouri, Iowa and
the neigbboring states are being
taught how to make and keep good
roads at minimum cost. Mr.. King,
who for twenty years has been a
coed roads enthusiast, visited Sac
City, Iowa, at the request of it's
Good Roads Association, in January,
1904. The work done by the farmers
as the result of his talk has trans
formed the highways leading into
town. % miles were cared for last
year at an expense of $2.4O a mile,
and the roads were made so smooth
that owners of trotting horses in
variably choose them for speedways
in preference to the race track.
This convinced many doubters of
the value of Mr.. Kings advice. He
interested members of the Missouri
Board of Agriculture in it, and they
in turn secured special trains to run,
free of charge, on trunk lines in
Missouri end Iowa, with Mr.. King,
preaching his system at frequent
stops from the rear platform, He
spoke first at the little town of
Onawa, Iowa. The occasion was
made a festival, Three hundred
visiting farmers were given two good
meals by the enterprising business
men. One hundred and fifty dollars
was subscribed and offered as prizes
for the best kept mile and half of
road during 1905 by the use of the
homemade King read drag. The
town agreed to care for one mile of
four roads leading out in different
directions and the farmers care for
seven miles on each route. Within
a week fifty farmers were using home
made King drags, and 200 are ex-
pected to be using them this fall.
An almost impossible street was
converted within few hours into a
road solid enough for a team to haul
q ton load with ease.
The success at Onawa has been
duplicated in dozens of other towns.
Denison, Iowa, chose the street lead
ing from the residence of Leslie M.
Shaw, secretery of the Treasury, to
the railway station as the one to be
improved and within a half a day it J
was made as good village street as
there is in the state.

TERRIER WINS RACE
ON WHITE BEAR LAKE

overconfdent yachtsmen Of the White Bear
Yacht club, who expected last Saturday to see
Terriers previous defeat emphasized by half
dozen Of their Glass B boats instead Of one
coming in ahead. were greatly surprised and
disappointed at the result Of the race.
Terrier made an ideal start by crossing the
line just three-ifths OF a second after the gun.
and maintained her lead over everything till
after passing the Wildwood buoy. She was then
overtaken by Barracuda in close windward
work, and at Clark street buoy was fifteen sec.
onds behind. Terrier gradually recovered her
losses as her crew, which had not sailed to.
gether before. got to working together. and
had just overtaken Barracuda again when a
slight accident to the latters gam caused her
to lase about two boat lengths. The last time
