Mine Pays Dividends.

Miss Marie Taplin, secretary Of the
J. G. Lee Company, was busily en-
gagged all day Monday in distributing
checks to the Salem stockholders Of
Great Northern Development Com
pany. This is the second dividend the
company has paid. The greater part
of the output during the last sixty
days has been used for additional
machinery. The company has placed
an order for another Hunting mill,
which they expect to have in operation
on the first of January. This com
pany will then be one Of the heaviest
dividend-payers in the state.-Salem

shares in the Great Northern mine,
which is located in the Blue River
district, are owned by residents Of Polk
county.

c. n. Cramer Cos. Big Safe Blown
With Nitro Clycerine
LOCAL TALENT DID THE JOB
1t Seems Certain that the Same men Who
Have Committed Other Robberies in
Washburn are Responsible for
Latest Piece of Work

The big safe at the G. N. Cranler
q Company warehouse was blown
last Thursday night, and a sum Of
money running up to about forty
dollars was taken. Besides this the
safe, which was valued at nearly
four hundred dollars. and was CON
sldered one of the the best in. the
city, was completely ruined. Three
charges of nitro -glycerine were
used, and the steel chest was blown
to pieces, as also were the doors and
other parts of the safe. The reports
were heard by several people, but
there was no alarm given, and the
robbers carried out their work IN
molested. The first theory advanced
was that the work was that of pro
fessionais, butin the face OF the work
done and all the circumst ances, this
theory does not hold good. I'm
doubleday tae same people who have
done other jobs OF burglarizing in
Washburn are the ones who blew
the Crammer safe. And unless
these men are brought to time soon
there will undoubtedly be other de-
pridations. There are some bad
men in Washburn. and they have
been responsible for several very
clumsy pieces of work, and it would
seem that the police officers should
land some of these people before
long. Just what clues the officer S
are working on The TINES is no t
permitted to state, but progress is
being made. and there is likely to be
something sensational at most any
.tip1a.

Work of Taking Census to Commence
June 20.
BLANKS ARE BEING FURNISHED.
County Clerk is Sending Out Necessary
Forms to Town and City Clerks, Who
Are to Make the Offic ial Count
for the State Census.

County Clerk N. M Oscar has
received blanks from the secretary
of state for the taking of the state
census for 1905, and he is sending
these out to the numerous town and
cityelerks of the county this week.
The census is to commence on the
morning of June goth. and is to be
taken by various town and city
clerks, who are obliged to make their
returns o the county clerk. At the
Office of the county clerks the names
are re-copied and classified and sent
to the state department., where they
become asmatter Of permanent res
cord. The. clerks in the towns are
allowed three dollars for each humid
red names. In the city of Wash
burn the clerk will receive but 81. so
for each hundred names. But ir
addition he will receive $3.50 per
hundred names for classifying all
persons eligible for service in the
state militia, and remuneration for
other clasi6cations. The census
blanks provide for complete stats
ties as to manufactures, mining
agriculture, foreign population, col
or, sex, age, whether sin gle or mar
ried, parentage, nativity, occLpa-
ton, property ownership, months
employed during the year, etc. The
census dates from June lst, SO that
any child born between the first of
the month and the twentieth will
not be counted.
The people in the county should
lend every assistance to 1.-THE census
takers, aad see to it that every name
is given in. 1t is 3 big. Job for any
one person TO take the census of any
of the towns, or Of the city of Wash
burn, and there must be assistance
rendered from every person. Let
the number Of names be complete, SO
that it can oe shown up that Bay
field county is getting TO the front.
1t is more than likely that the Com
mercial Club of this city, will give
it's attention to the work, and help
see to it that none are missed in
the count.

with patrons Of the school and other
citizens. The room had been very
appropriately decorated for the

class of eleven graduates occupied
easy chairs on the platform, and
President L. N. Clausen, Principal
S. A, Oscar and Professor III. w.
Rood. the speaker of the evening,
were in evidence. The address
of Professor Rood was a good one,
and left deep and lasting impress
sion upon the graduates, and was
well received by the audience. Mr..
Clausens presentation was well
worded and we'll received. Mr..
Oscar ard the graduates were given
a hearty welcome, and the approval
OF their year Of high school work was
shown in the response of the
audience. The class is one of the
best that has ever gradus ted from
our schools, aud they start out in
life with the best wishes Of everyone.
