elevator IS a beauty. The farmers
elevator company of that place has
also just awarded the contract for
the building of their new elevator,
Taylor Bros. of Lake Benton being
the lucky bidders.
The Granite Falls Journal states
that Representative Volstead has
given out the information that the
Seventh congressional district
stands first on the list as having
the highest number of rural free
mail delivery routes. Considering
that the district was fourth on the
list when Mr.. Volstead first went
to Washington, his work with the
post Office is apparent.
At meeting of farmers held in
Marshall for the purpose of agitat-
ing the question of good roads, a
branch society of the National So
ciety of Equity was organized. The
object of the society is to receive
exact reports from the farmers all
over the United States regarding
what the yield on any certain prod
uct is, or is going to be, according
to the locality. From these reports
the total supply is figured and ex-
perts find out very closely what
the demand for the product is going
to be and what the product is going
to be worth per bushel.
The Sisseton Indians are soon to
receive a payment of 800, 900, which
means a per capita offrom $50 to SIS.
These Indians have been in very
poor financial circumstances for the
past several months and many of
them are quite destitute. They pc
titioned the government for a por-
ton of the principal of over million
dollars, being held in trust for this
band OF Indians, and the welcome
news was received late last week
that the payment asked for would
be made as soon as the rolls could
be made out and approved. The
Indians are much pleased over the
the prospects of the payment.
The young ladies of the local tenn
perance union at Sacred Heart re-
Gently got the sad notion into their
heads that they wanted to see how
the liquor business was conducted
in that town, and consequently took
it upon themselves to visit the sa-
looms. There were % in the mum
Der and they were royalty enter
tanned. The liquor. dealers were
informed of their coming, and they
put up program of boozing, hur-
raining and dancing, winding up
with fight, that led the girls to
believe that the liquor establish
ments were unusually horrid in
Sacred Heart. The girls also ran
onto special meeting of the stock
holders of the Sacred Heart tele-
phone company, which had been
called for another place but was
adjourned to side room of one of
the saloons for want of better
place.
New Ulm Review: One Of the
landmarks that the march of civil
zation has driven out is the Cum
mings ferry, which since the early |
days has done duty at Fort Ridge
ly, has been replaced by a bridge,
and that old boat has been foated |
down TO point near the Wagner
saw mill, where it is to do duty for
the farmers coming to New Ulm at
times when the river is not fordable. |
1t is only the precursor of bridge
that will be demanded in the near
future. At the time when the agi- |
tation for bridge at the Cummings
ferry was at its height there was
strong favor of having it nearer
this city, but it was finally located |
at the fort, where it seems proper
that it should be. The removal OF
the ferry to the new point on the
Minnesota will be great benefit at
seasons of the year when there is
high stage of water, and in fact at
all times when IL is undesirable to
ford.
