Railroad Operators Out.

A press dispatch says that differ
ences between the telegraphers en-
ployed by the Great Northern rail
road company and the company
reached a climax on Tuesday when
nearly all the telegraphers on the
Willmar, Fergus Falls and Brecken-
ridge divisions of the road quit their
places. The men claim it is a lockout
on the part Of the road because they
will not accept the terms offered them,
while the company claims that eighty
per cent of the men are satisfied. In
a circular to it's employees the com
pany proposes schedule of wages,
which it claims gives an increase to
the men amounting to $4,000 an
nually. The men, on the other hand,
claim this increase amounts to only
81, 900 or $4,000 annually for about a
thousand men.
The men were asked in the circular
to decide whether they wished to con
tinue in the company's service and be
governed by its new rules and regula-
tions. When the men refused to &C.

authorities, in nearly every case, that
in the federal census taken five years
ago the returns had been padded, but
that in the case of a State census
this had not been done, and that the
figures returned represented the facts.
Some towns in the northern part of the
State made similar admissions.
It is admitted that the reason of a
light return from the country districts
in the southern part of the State is
largely the emigration of the younger
men to cheaper lands in Canada or
northern Minnesota. Many of these
young men, formerly resident in
southern counties, are now farming in
northern counties. 3D.
It is noted that the conditions pre-
vailing along the southern line in
Minnesota also prevail along the
northern tier of counties in Iowa, and
Iowa reports the cause to be high
land prices and the attractions OF
cheaper farming country to the north.

All Sorts of Weather This Month.

Hicks, in his monthly weather fore
cast for August has the first storm
period due from the 5th to Sth, with it's
center on the 9th. Falling barometer.
Increased humidity and warmth, with
growing cloudiness will appear as
early as the 4th. Storms and thunder
gusts will quickly follow in western
sections, and during the 5th to 18th
these disturbances will pass eastward
over the country. Rising barometer
and cooler weather will follow about
9TH to 10th.
A reactionary storm period is CEN
tral on 18th and 18th. The indications
are for only moderate barometic and
other changes at this time. Threaten

business men waited on the officials at
the same time, and assured F. L.
Whitney, traffic manager of the Great
Northern that every possible precau-
ton would be taken to protect the
railroads from the ticket brokers.
The plan is to secure an Injunction
against the brokers, enjoining them
from buying Or selling the tickets.
Edward J. Cannon has been employed
by the business interests of st. Paul,
and he will take the necessary steps to
secure an injunction against the ticket
brokers. ..
Steps have also been taken in Min

Badly Scalded.

The four-year-old daughter OF
Marion Northway, residing at Blue
Hill, was severely scalded on Satur-
day. It appears that Mrs. Northway
was about to scrub the floor Of the
kitchen and had set crock of boiling
water down for that purpose. In an
unmatched moment the little girl
backed into the vessel and received
very serious injuries. DR.. Armitage
was called and, so far as possible,
alleviated the little ones sufferings.
At last report she was expected to
survive the injuries.

Alarming Figures.

with such leaps and bounds that con-
gress will be forced at the next session
to pass some sort of restrictive legis-
latiOn.
The figures for the last fiscal year
show we are receiving more than a
million Storage immigrants every
year, and the percentage from the
more undesirable sections of Europe
has been increasing to a dangerous
degree. Figures just completed show
l,027, 421 aliens brought into the
United States during the year ending
June 30, 1905. The figures for the
previous year were Sl5, 349. This
shows the startling increase of PIP, O72
immigrants, or more than twenty-five
per cent.
In the face of such a stupendous in.
flux of foreigners, the large proper
ton of whom are illiterate and in
other ways undesirable, congress
necessarily will have to take the mat
ter up in a methodical manner, and
put up some new bars on steerage

Koch ACQUITTED.

After a elaboration of three hours
the jury in the Koch murder case re-
turned verdict on Tuesday of mot
guilty" The verdict came as a sur
prise to great many people, another
disagreement having been confidently
expected. The testimony in the case
was so extremely circumstantial and
conflicting that it was hardly thought
possible the jury would convict. Thus
ends the last chapter in case which
has attracted SO wide an attention
and been discussed from one end of
the United States to the other.

Decrease In School Land Sales.

Records in the State auditors office
show that the sale of State school
lands has fallen off in recent years to
an alarming extent. The price OBJ
talnable at auctions has also de-
creased.
In 1902 there were $500 acres OF
State lands sold. - During 1903 the
number of acres sold dropped to
$4,000. During 1904 the decrease was
still greater, the total being but 5000.
During 1902 the average sale price
at land auctions was SO an acre. Last
year this average had changed to but
81, a cheaper class of lands being
offered. -.----

giant selection of cut flowers and ap-
propriate draperies, making very
pretty setting for the ceremony.
At the conclusion of the nuptials a
wedding luncheon was partaken of
and the dining room in which the fes-
tivities were observed was very beft-
tingly decorated with cut flowers.
Miss Sadley was born and raised in
Princeton and is therefore known to
most Of it's citizens. She taught in
the public schools here for several
terms, was most proficient and ex-
emplary instructor, and resigned her
position at the end of the last school
year. Miss 'Sadley was a favorite in
social circles and greatly beloved for
her kindly and amiable disposition.
Mr.. Owens, the bridegroom, is a
young man highly educated and great
ly respected by those among whom he
resides.

was merely a matter Of chimney
ablaze which brought it out. An APP

the cause of the fire. No material

The State Census.

According to official figures the
population of Minnesota, outside of
Ramsey county, is 1852 1874, and it is
estimated that Ramsey county Will
give from 49,: 200 to 100000.
The counties in the State that show
greatest gains are Itasca, Beltrami,
Carleton, Rosseau, Pine and Grow
Wing. ttasca county shows the larg-
est increase: its population of II, 900
being an increase of over l per cent.
There is every probability that the
northern tier of counties have been
undercounted rather than the reverse,
because. during June, when the enum-
orators were working in the north
rains were so tremendous that travel
in the often roadless country was ex-
ceedingly difficult, and the enumer-
ators themselves admit that there NAV
have been omissions.
Before the census was begun it was
generally believed that the population
of the State would run over 1000, 900.
but, in the returns first received from
the southern counties there was so
wide a discrepancy between the figures
and the expectation that a pessimistic
view OF the matter was taken. Since
the northern reports have been re-
ceived it seems probable that, with
Ramsey county included, the original
estimate will be approximated.
A line drawn through the center of
the State from east to west would
show on its southerly side decrease
in rural population, while to the north
a considerable increase would be
shown. On the other hand the popu-
lations of southern towns and vii
lagos have increased generally. In
some towns where decreases we're
shown the census officials opened cor
respondence to discover what was the
cause of a falling off, and received
the frank statement from the town

the western regions as early as the
l4tn and 18th, and during the 10th to
l9th very general and forcible storms
VIII pass eastward over the country.
Thunder and lightning will mark these
STORMS with great emphasis. A de-
cldedly high barometer and change to
cooler will follow.
lle next reactionary storm period
is central on the 22nd, 23rd and 24th.
Iheere will be high temperature, low
barometer and vigorous electrical
storms during the early stages of the
period but sudden change to high
barometer and much cooler will press
the western side of the storm area.
I 'hhere is danger that these very sudden
revulsions to cooler late in August
will be followed by frosts in northern
extremes.
The last storm period is central on
the 18th covering the 9th to 3lst. AS
early as the 9th and 28th barometric
warnings of gathering storms will be
noted, and the crisis of the period will
not be over forty EIGHT hours from 6
O'Clock p. NJ, on the 30th. Storms of
rain, thunder and hail attended by
violent tornado gales, will pass over
wide areas of the interior parts of the
country. The storms of this period
will continue into the opening DAYS
OF September.

TRIP ON MILE Laos
A Party From Princeton Enjoys the
Beauties of this Picturesque
Lake on Steamboat,
Milaca Military Band an Entertaining
Feature of Excursion-Dance
at Cove in Evening.

A party of Princeton people consist
ing of Mr.. and Mrs. W. II. Ferrell
and children, A. J. Bulls and Mr..
and Mrs. Geo. I. Staples and children
were among those who participated in
the excursion festivities on Mile
Lacs Lake last Saturday. Clerk of
Court King and Sheriff Shockley
we're also in attendance from this
place.
The steamer Queen Anne started
from Cove at s O'Clock Saturday
morning, the Milaca Military band,
one of the best musical organizations
in this part of the country, playing a
lively air on board as the steamer
cleared her gang plank. The boat
had been especially put in order and
provisioned for this occasion by Mr..
Mcclure, who had seen to every detail
that would inure to the comfort of
the excursionists.
The trip was extremely delightful,
the grandeur of the scenery along the
route and the choice selections dis
coursed by the band adding largely
to the general enjoyment. Under the
management of Navigator j. w. Me-
Clure and Engineer J. W. Orion the
boat glided DER the ripples of the
water and touched at the many points
of interest along the lake shore, in
Guiding Lawrence, Isle, Hennepin
Island, Wealthwood, Nichols, Mid
land and Vineland, landing the party
at Cove the same evening, where a
dance had been arranged for the ex-
cursionists.
Al Hawse, the steamers cook, is
worthy of mention for the admirable
manner in which he prepared the
sumptuous repast provided. The
dinner was served in good old mari
time style-big tin pans of meat,
beans and miscellaneous vegetables
being arrayed in long lines upon the
table for everyone to help themselves.

State Drainage League Meets.

The meeting of the Minnesota State
Drainage league opened at the opera
house in Crookston on Tuesday morn
ing with an attendance which exceeded
the expectations of the most sanguine
champions of the league, about four
hundred delegates being present.
Among the men present there we're
Lieutenant Governor Ray Jones,
United States Senator Moses E.
Clapp, State Auditor Iverson, Secre-
tary of State Peter Hanson, Engineers
Albercrombie and Ralph, State Sen
ators Lord, Cole, Peterson, Campbell,
Calhoun, Comstock, Swedback, Lun-
berg, Smith, Laybourn and Stephens.
The representatives present were A.
L. Cole. O. E. Hogen, O. V. Eckman,
Il. 0. Hanson, E. r. Hines, Asher
Murray, R. J. Wells, John Landine,
Maurice Lauritsen. J. M. Hetland,
W. A. Nolan, W. A. Hinton, E. W.
Gates, Frank Haskell and Bennett.
In addition to the State officials and
members of the legislature there were
present prominent representatives
from every county in the State, and
from the northern portion large dele
cations came.
The meeting was called to order by
President A. G. Bernard OF Cass Lake
and Mayor Mix of Crookston well
coined the visitors. A resolution was
adopted instructing Secretary Hays
Ftovhaye asstenognaphis-sasaaatszof..the~
meeting taken.
United States Senator Moses E..
Clapp was given a splendid ovation.
He precluded his remarks by the
statement that he was in hearty SYM
pathy with the drainage movement
and was ready now and would be
ready at any time in the future to
further the best interests of the cause.
He confined most of his remarks to
the proposition of drainage by federal
appropriation. He stated that the
federal government had no financial
interests in the reservation lands, but
was simply trustee. When the lands
were disposed of the government was
pledged to pay the Indians the stipu-
lated S1.25. Mr.. Clapp stated, how
ever, that he believed the federal gov
eminent could appropriate money for
the work of drainage where necessary
without 'menacing the rights of the In
dians.
He thought it probable that the only
way an appropriation could be Sc
cured would be through a bill provid-
ing general disbursement appropria-
ton, the money expended for drain
age to be returned to the government
when the lands were sold and the In
dams given the remainder. If it was
demonstrated that this plan did not
meet the approval Of congress he ad-
vocated law be passed by congress
ceding the swamp lands to the State
OF Minnesota which. would leave the
State in a position to carry on the
drainage. Among the other promi-
nent speakers before the noon recess
were Congressman STEVENSON, Hon.
Ray W. Jones, Senator A. D. Steph-
ems, State Auditor Iverson and Secre-
tary of State Hanson.
