Willmar, Mimi, June 2.-There has
been something in the air for several
weeks in regard to opportunities Of

extension of the Great Northern rail

the man who has this matter in
CHARGE Out at Willmar this week
we had the pleasure of meeting D.
n. Tallman, president of the Dakota
Development company. Mr.. Tallman is
also president Of the Minnesota Cen
tral Telephone company, great hustler
an enviable reputation in the business
and financial world in the great north
west. Anything that comes from him
can be absolutely relied upon, as Mr..
Tallman has the reputation Of giving
every one "square deal,'' and would
not for a minute take hold of anything
that was in the least off color or not
exactly as represented. Having an
inkling that there was to be something
doing along this new extension Of the
Great Northern, we got Mr.. Tallman
to talk. He said:
The Great Northern Railroad compa-
ny is building an extension Of forty two
miles from York northwest, thru the
Island Lake county, and will establish
five good North Dakota towns. This
line runs thru what is known as the
rich Ok Creek and Island Lake district,
where large area of land is now under
cultivation and farmed by some of the
best farmers in North Dakota. There
is no better soil in the state and good

The Highest Courage.

Every true man and every true woman,
must admire courage in whatever form
it may appear and a courageous spirit
tho the natural Inheritance of some peo-
pie, Is only possessed by others after
many years Of hard and bitter struggle
against natural timidity which required
continued patient effort to overcome
There have been frequent demonstra-
lions of courage Of various kinds turnout
the centuries gone by and many men and
many minds have told thrilling tales in
verse and prose Of courageous acts and
deeds of heroism.
II you were to ask a given number Of
people Of your acquaintance to tell you
what in their judgment they considered
an act requiring the highest courage you
would doubtless receive as many different
answers as there were different persons
interviewed on the subject in hand.

to the prospective homeseeker besides
fertile soils capable Of producing a
great diversity Of crops. The early pio-
neers came from the best farming COM
munities of north Europe and the east
ern states. It is the early settlers who
have developed the soil resources and
made Minnesota great agricultural
state, and the home-maker now has all
the advantages Of good neighbors, ex-
cellent schools, the best of transporta-
ton facilities. good markets and estab-
lished churches. Lawlessness has never
been rampant in the state, the taxes
are low, there is no large state debt for
PROSPERITY to pay, nor repudiated bonds
to mar the credit Of the state. The
opportunities for the small farmer to
make comfortable home in Minnesota,
engage in diversified farming and re-
ce1ye fair recompense for his labors,
are unsurpassed. o.

st. Anthony Park, Mimi, June 81
There are but few states that offer the
opportunity for diversified farming that
Minnesota does. The soils. climatic con-
ditions, transportation facilities and
markets are all favorable for a diver.
sity of crops and agricultural interests.
1t is not new. or untried country, its
agricultural resources have been tested
for over half a century and during that
time some of the most prosperous agri-
cultural regions to be found in any land
have been developed within her borders
Minnesota hard spring wheat has be-
come famous for the excellent quality
OF -four it produces, and Minnesota
wheat and flour have become standards
IN the worlds markets. Within recent
years her butter has taken equal rank
with her wheat. The dairy interest
which has been developed upon a CO.
operative basis among the farmers has
directly and Indirectly added large
sum to the wealth of the state. The
livestock industry is developing rapidly
and good stock of all kinds is found
within the state. I believe that, within
the next ten years, the income from
livestock alone with be more than dou-
bled. The natural facilities for live.
stock husbandry are unsurpassed; the
numerous small lakes, which are prac-
tically large springs Of pure water, and
all kinds Of forage can be grown cheap
~ and in large amounts. Minnesota
has already become great livestock
state, and her interests along this line
are destined to become still larger. Her
horses and cattle and other livestock
have already taken the highest awards
and prizes in both national and interna-
tional contests.
Minnesota is a large state and some
parts are only sparsely settled, and
there is room within her boundaries
for more" farmers and ome-makers
There are nearly as good opportunities
today for the prospective farmer as
there were in the pioneer days, and
without the hardships Of pioneer life.
The farmer has now the benefit Of :
half century of agricultural develop
ment within the state. He can under
take grain-raising, dairying, sheep
husbandry, beef production or any line

Sunshine Accounts.

Perhaps the most fortunate thing that
ever happened to the society was when
Julius R. Pettis opened set of books
and offered to keep the accounts. From
the very beginning a strict record has
been kept with every state in the union
in connection with headquarters. All
moneys received are strictly recordI
and how every penny is spent is as rigid
ly accounted for. State presidents may
learn how they stand financially at in
ternational headquarters by merely ask
ing the question of Mr.. Pettis. The books
are closed every Saturday night and the
society knows to penny its standing.

And her nose has a tilt in the air;
And not even her mother, with mother.loys
blind,
Can truthfully say she is fair;
Her hair is the color that may be called red,
And straight as ruler hangs down;
Her eyes are pale blue and her forehead Is low
Tho it never is drawn in frown.
Her sisters graceful and bonny young things,
And her brother is handsome and bright
And all Of them think in their innermost hearts
That their sister is truly sight.
But the soul of this girl is beautiful thing.
And her voice Is as sweet as BIRDS
And her goodness of heart and hat wisdom OF
mind
Are seen in kind actions and words.
And the mother has ever fond word and
smile
For this child Of her daily delight
And the fathers eyes glisten with tenderest
love
As he kisses and bids her goodnight.
And, oh, they would miss, and miss her full
sore,
If out in the world she should roam
For the girl Of no beauty of face or of form
Is most truly the heart of the home.

= Legislative Work.
The most important work of the past
year was accomplished during the ses-
sion! of the legislature last winter thru
Marie Stutenroth Of WATERFOWL, chair
man of the committee, spent two weeks
in Pierre in the interest of two bills.
One provided for the creation Of state
library commission similar to that
which the Minnesota legislature created
in that state in 1899. This bill passed
the senate unanimously twice, but both
times it was defeated in the house, not
withstanding that it carried no appro-
priation.
At another time the committee
feels sure the bill can be made law.
The second bill Endorsed by the state
federation, which Mrs. Stutenroth car
ried to Pierre: provided for the inspec-
ton of all animals and meats intended
for meat supplies, the inspection Of
slaughter houses. licensing Of butchers,
and for a general improvement m Of meat at

introduced by the committee on state
affairs, and after some delay went to
the house, where with only slight
amendment amen t., eexxempting farmers who
market, the bill passed, ffty-two mem
bers voting for and only seventeen
against it. This is the first bit Of leg
islation that the federation has at
tempted and now it remains with the
towns and cities to put the law in force,
it being permissible bill, and it will
be necessary for the club women to ere
ate sentiment in their different districts
so that each city council will pass an
ordinance in harmony with the bill. A
similar bill q now in force in Michigan,
and the people are well pleased with it.
The federation appropriated $50 for
travelling library last year, at its
meeting in WATERFOWL, and this is now
in circulation in the Black Hills. The

COURT TAKES REST
In K0CH'S CASE
Work of Securing a Jury Will
Be Resumed Tomorrow
~ Morning.

Mankato, Mimi, July 10.-The court
in the Koch case took a recess today.
The adjournment Saturday was until
Tuesday morning, when the work of
securing a jury will be resumed.
DR.. George R. Koch and the three
jurors so far selected passed a very
quiet Sunday. The jurors are given as
much liberty as possible and are al
lowed to take walks in the back streets
in company with bailif. It is more
difficult. to get Jurors at this trial than
at the preceding one, and for this rea-
son only one peremptory challenge has
been used. If either. side does not want
a man under examination, it can easily
develop the fact that he has an opinion
regarding the defendants guilt or in
nocence, or is opposed to capital pun
ishment, for scarcelya person will re-
fuse to take advantage Of such an open
ing to get excused from service.
1t is said that the state has made
use of the appropriation by the Brown
county commissioners by employing
two detectives during the past few
weeks. Whether they have developed
any new evidence is known only to the
states attorneys, and the latter abso
lutely refuse to give out any informa
ton on the subject.
