Minnesota's Advantages.

Prof. Shaw. in a discourse on the
advantages of northern Minnesota,
says in substance and in part as fol-
lows:
Taken all in all, northern Mime
sofa offers possibilities in agriculture,
live stock raising and dairying pos
sessed by no state in America. The
man who contents himself with rented
lands in the older states, thus making
a bare livelihood from year to year,
is to some extent throwing his en-
ergies away. He is not able to lay
by any surplus and when he reaches
old age he is no better off than he was
score or more years ago. Any man

Going Back to Dunn's Method.

Maybe you, also, have noticed, says
the Duluth News Tribune: what has
caught the eye of the Bemidji Pioneer
man and induced him to write as fol-
lows: Congressman Buckman says
he will pay the State timber board af-
ter an investigation decides that he
has committed trespass. So the
board decided it will investigate.
Queer somebody did not think of this
simple procedure long ago. But we
forget, it was quite necessary for
political persons to institute suits at
law, even though there was no hope of
making them success. Bob Dunn,
you know did not sue. He made cash
settlements and put the cash in the
State treasury. This method while
very profitable to the State was not
according to the strict letter of the
law as we learned during the cam
paign last year. But now the strict
letter of the law having proved I'M
profitable, we are going back to Bob
Dunn's method. Fearful and wonder
full are the ways of politics."

Twas Really a Surprise.

A housewarming party comprising
the feminine social leaders of Prince
ton swarmed into the new residence
of Robert and Miss Ida King last
evening without previous notice to
those worthy people and piled up in
their domicile big armfuls of useful
and ornamental furnishing goods
which fairly staggered the recipients
thereof. When the society ladies of
Princeton decide upon a surprise you
can wager that no mean men folks
obtain even an inkling in advance.
Ice cream and cake were served to the
invaders and a very merry time was
enjoyed.

A National Hero,

Real Admiral Chas. E. Clark, who,
as commnder of the Oregon in the
Spanish war, became national hero.
left the navy on Thursday, Aug. 10.
He spent fortfy-five years in the SER
vice, and has reached the statutory
age Of retirement.
Clark was born in Vermont Aug.
10, 1913. He entered the naval acad-
envy at Annapolis in 1860. Before the
completion of his cadetship he was
ordered to service in the civil war as
a midshipman.
When war with Spain was declared
Clark, as captain of the Oregon, was
on the Pacific coast. He was ordered
to proceed quickly as possible to the
West Indies, his ship being badly
needed to reinforce SIMPSONS fleet
Clark made trip that amazed the
naval experts of the world. Not only
did he make the voyage at a speed
greater than had heretofore been
maintained on long trip by a battle
ship, but when the Oregon arrived at
Florida the sturdy fighter was fit and
ready for battle. 1t had been expected
that time would be required for over
hauling and repairs. Nothing of the
sort was needed.
Clark simply reported to Washing
ton his arrival, and asked to be as
signed to his post of duty.
At the battle of Santiago Clark and
the Oregon were again to the fore.
and all the country sounded their
praise.
After the war Clark was promoted
to the rank of rear admiral and
assigned to shore duty He served
as governor of the naval home at
Philadelphia, and was afterwards
called to Washington for duty as a
member of the general board and
president of examining and retiring
boards of the navy.

A Social Event,

Friday evening the Dorcas Ladies
rendered reception to the members
of the Congregational choir at the
residence of Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Fer

decorated with potted ferns and sweet
peas. This with the brilliant lights and
merry company made pretty picture
During the evening two guessing
games which quickened the wits of the
participants were played. Miss Diel-
man was made the possessor of a
beautiful box of bon-bons for her sue
cess. On tie Mrs. Geo. Staples took
the second box.
The members of the choir with their
" other halves" were served at the
long dining room table which was
delicately decorated with ferns and
pansies. The rest of the company
were waited on at small tables in the
parlor. A delicious collation. was

e. G.. Valentine Dead.

Ezra G.. Valentine, a prominent
drainage worker, attorney and capt.
talist of Breckenridge, died suddenly
Saturday afternoon at his summer
home at Battle Lake, short distance
from Breckenridge.
He was ffty-fve years old, and his
death, which was due to apoplexy.
came without previous warming and
was so unexpected that even his son
and daughter, who were spending the
summer with him at Battle Lake,
knew nothing of it until they attempted
to arouse him for his lunch.
Mr.. Valentines death removes a
prominent character in the history of
the northwest. While actively en-
gagged in State politics and prominent
as an attorney, his chief efforts in be-
half of the drainage cause were un-
firing and brought definite results, and
the extension of drainage operations
in northwest Minnesota in recent years
has been to a great extent due to his
efforts.
Mr.. Valentine became interested in
the drainage of the Red river valley
and was appointed member of the
State drainage board by Gov. Knute
Nelson. He gained an enviable repu-
tation throughout the State as an ad-
vocate of drainage.

Affairs of School District "a.

For several years the residents of
school district No. 10, at Mile Laos

quarrels without number. Matters
nave reached such pass chat it is
hard to find anyone in the district
who will accept position on the
school board. Such a state of affairs

Aitkin County Not Alone a Sufferer.

A late press dispatch says that the
high water and consequent loss to set
tiers in northern Minnesota is not
confined to the mississippi river
nor to Aitkin county. The Big Fork
river in Itasca county has been out of
it's banks all summer, flooding the
rich meadow lands upon which the
lumber companies and settlers depend
for hay. For weeks they have waited
for the water to go down SO that they
could begin haying, but the river has
been gradually rising, caused by the
incessant rains.
Many homesteaders have livestock
which they have brought into the
country at great expense, and for
which they have not been able to put
up hay for the coming winter. Nor
does the prospect look bright for
their being able to put up hay later.
With one exception, never has the Big
Fork country been known to suffer
from high water before. Settlers
coming from the vicinity of Lake
Winnibigoshish say the government
dam is backing the water up Poplar
river.
Events seem to bear out the state
ment. Never before has the water in
the Big Fork river remained SO high
for such length of time. With no
rains the river recedes but one inch a
week. Always before the river has
drained off it's own territory and
reached it's normal level in about ten
days. AS conditions now are settlers
will be compelled to dispose of their
stock this fall at a sacrifice.

A Neat Acknowledgment.

It will be remembered that some
weeks ago, when lightning entered the
Great Northern depot on wire and
set fire to the curtain and castings,
Mrs. j. ". Hartman was the first to
discover the flames and it was through
the efforts of her husband, J. W.
Hartman, that the fire was extin-
guished before it had done much dam
age. On Saturday last Mrs. Hartman
received from the company a neat
acknowledgment of her services in the
shape of round trip pass to Seattle,
Washington, where she has a sister
and other relatives. To say that she
is pleased is expressing it mildly.

This reduction of rates ranges from
five cents per hundred, from the most
distant points, to a half cent from
points nearest the twin cities and the
head of navigation on the great lakes.
From Williston, distant from the
head of the lakes GIG miles, the re-
duction is five cents. On the Gran
vile branch. he Towner branch, the
line from Rugby to Antler, the branch
from York to Thorne, the Lakota
branch, now extending to Sarles, the
rates are cut three cents. This covers
an immense stretch Of country, much
of it recently brought under cultiva-
ton in North Dakota.
From Minot to the head of the lakes,
from Grand Forks and Fargo and
Hillsboro on the Hanna line. running
north from Larimore, on the Neche
line, and the St. Vincent line, the re-
duction is two cents per hundred. On
the st. Johns line, running from
Church's Ferry and the Walhalla line,
it is two and One-half cents, and from
Larimore it is cent and a half.
Similarly in South Dakota there is
a reduction of four cents per hundred
from Huron, two cents from Aberdeen
and Yankton and correspondence
auctions from other points to Mime
apolis. ....
In Minnesota the new rates show a
concession of two cents per hundred
for Crookston, Thief River Falls,
Warren and Moorhead, and of half a
cent for Fergus Falls, Morris, Brock

Cloud.
The 500 railway management has
filed with the State railway and ware

along the entire system in consonance
with the sweeping reductions an
nounced by the Great Northern.
The Northern Pacific will also file a
revised schedule lowering the grain
rates from all points on the system
as far west as the Montana line.
A meeting of the traffic officials of
the three lines was held, it is said, at
which the question of reducing the
rates was discussed and an agreement
reached to revise the tariffs by SLASH
ing off from one-half to five cents a
hundred according to distance. The
Great Northern policy had been de-
termined previously, however, and
even the details of readjusting the
rates had been attended to before the
meeting. That company was there
fore able to announce it's rates at once
and did so. .:-..

Much of the interest of the conven-
tlop will center about the election of

Tanner of New York is believed to
have the greater number of pledges
any to be the probable winner, the
Minnesota delegation will probably
favor Burton of Missouri. Another
matter of great interest will be the dis
cussion of a proposition which will

i've as at present. The proposal comes
IRON the New York department, which
has passed resolutions asking the ma
tlonal body to pass the amendment.

OF prominent Minnesota veterans are
greatly opposed to the plan and will

The West Branch Creamery Associa-

Over Four Hundred People Celebrate
the Event Speeches and Base
ball Included in Program.

The second annual pcinic of the
West Branch Creamery association
was held in Uglem's grove at Green
bush on Sunday and about 400 people
participated in the festivities. The
gathering was made up of people from
four counties and no prettier spot than
Uglem's grove could have been Sc
lected to celebrate the event. Mr..
Lindall had made elaborate prepara-
tions for the accommodation and en-
tertainment of the large number of
visitors and consequently the picnic
was in all respects a most successful
and enjoyable affair.
In the forenoon a ball game of a
most interesting nature was played
between the Long Siding and Milo
clubs in which both sides demon
strated by their excellent playing that
they were far from novices. The
game resulted in a victory for Milo
over Long Siding by score of to S.
At the noon hour the baskets of the
picnickers were unloaded upon the
greensward and, gypsy-like, men.
women and children scattered about
throughout the woods in little groups
and partook of the good things which
they had brought along. The varie-
gated costumes of the participants
among the foliage presented very
pretty color effect and the mirth of
the little folks largely enhanced it's
attractiveness.
After luncheon o. 81. Uglem, pres
ident of the association, in a brief but
very appropriate address, welcomed
the visitors and introduced Andrew
Larson of Milaca, who talked upon
the process of making butter in Sweden
twenty years ago as compared with
the method of today in this country.
Frank Shrewsbury of the State dairy
and food department then expatiated
upon the great benefits of the CO.
operative creamery to the agricultural
classes.

tween the Greenbush and Milo mines
in which the Milos were defeated in a
score of II to 2. Notwithstanding the
score there was some good ball play

West Branch creamery has been a
most successful institution and it's
patrons are more than pleased with
the results, attained and with the SUI

tured under the management of Mr..
