intellectual Anomaly.

As to intellectual endowments and soldierly qualities, Major McCawley is an anomally. He may possess gifts of mind, but he sedulously conceals the fact. He is good at persifiage and Is at his best in narrating personal histories, those of his friends to their everlasting glory; those of his enemies, to their undoing.
 Major McCawley was "discovered' by General Corbin in the first year of the Mckinley administration. He formed part of the glittering pagant which descended the grand stairway to the sound of the ffer playing the Salute to the Colors." He was then a clerk in the navy depart ment with strong predilection towards social honors which interferred somewhat with a successful accomplishment of his duties Colonel Theodore Bingham, at that time superintendent of public grounds and buildings was fond or gold and fine feathers and took kindly to the young lieutenant and gave him many op- portunities to show his accomplishments. Thence began the extraordinary power which he now yields. During the stress and strain of the Spanish-American war the country called, and McCawley spent 190 days in active service. After this pe- riod, 1t was discovered that society at the capital was running riot and that if the prestige of White House functions was to be preserved, Captain McCawley must come home. He was, therefore, promoted to the rank of major and made assistant quartermaster at the marine corps headluartes in Washington. His friends assert that President Mckinley made a personal appeal to Secretary Long and that recognizing the dilapi- dated state of social functions, MT. Long

TERMS ON ABOUT $4,000 ACRES
OWNED BY w. r. TAFT LAND co.
OF ST. PAUL, MINI. Z.

One Of the easiest opportunities for
buying good land I have ever found is
offered BY the w. R.. TAFT Land com
pany, 234 Endicott building, St. Paul,
MINI. This company owns about H.
600 acres of excellent, diversified farm
ing land in Beltrami county. 1t all
lies along the line Of the Great North
ern railway, and every bit of it is with
in five miles Of Solway, a station on the
Great Northern. There is a heavy clay
soil with clay subsoil. Crop failures
are practically unknown. Wheat goes
twenty to twenty-five bushels to the
acre; oats, fifty to seventy. The
country around is all settled up, the
roads are all graded, rural telephones
connect the farmer with his postoffice
and stores in town. Schools and
churches are close together-social life
the best All the small grains are sure
crops. Water and fuel are as plentiful
as the air-and there is nc. better water,
Dairying and stockraising are as nat
ural to this country as bombthrowers to
Russia. -
All these features make Beltrami
county highly desirable place to make
money and to live. But one of the incest
features is the terms on which farm
homes can be bought from this com
pany. They offer any or all their lands
for 81 an acre down, and ten years
time on the balance, with the privilege
of paying on or before, if the purchaser
desires. This is golden opportunity
and should be grasped at once. Al

ty seat, and made that town my head
quarters. Fishing and hunting did not
always occupy all of my life. have,
visited different farmers in the county
who have lived there for from five to
fifteen years. There are dozens of in
stances among these farmers that show
will give the same attention to a farm
there that he would give elsewhere.
One instance in particular appeals to
me very strongly. Thirteen years ago
Eric Ericsson came here to Mora with
his wife and family and just enough
money to make a down payment on
eighty acres. Eric hustled good and
hard, but at the end Of the first two.
years, when he had just gotten a little
against him and both his house and
barn were burned to the ground. But
Eric did not lose his nerve. He had
the good stuff in him-he was a good
manager, and these two qualities COM
bined put him in this condition today.
Instead Of eighty acres, he has between
five and six hundred acres, all cleared
and fenced and all paid for. He has a
large frame house and two big red
barns, and the latter give shelter to
between ninety and q hundred head OF
cattle, besides several horses. Every
! thing in the shape of the best farm ma
chinery is on his farm. Then on top
of all that Eric s loans and checkbooks
are good for from eight to ten thou
sand dollars more.
There are hundreds of acres Of Just
as good land as Eric owns in Kanabec
county which can be bought for from
81 to $12 an acre. These lands will
produce timothy and clover, al kinds Is
grains, every bit as we'll or better than
the $1O0 an acre land down in Illinois
or any other old settled community, and
a man can get ten acres for the price
: of one there.
Then there is just one other little
point-M. E. Rutherford 4 Co. OF this
town own and control about 100000
acres of this land. They are looking
for men who will come here as actual
settlers. and such a man.. it he is hon

Special Correspondence.
Mcintosh, Mimi, May 12.-William
A. Marin, president of the Mcintosh
Land company of this city, says that
he looks for one of the best seasons this
year ever known to this section of
Minnesota. Mcintosh is located in the
center Of the celebrated Thirteen
towns of northwestern Minnesota.
This is rolling country Of part prairie
and part grove, with numerous lakes
and rivers The soil is very rich and
fertile, and the farmers are in an ex-
ceptionally prosperous condition. This
section has not yet been reached by
the land boom of the Red river valley,
and while the land is just as good as
in any other part of the valley, it is
cheaper than anywhere else around
The land is all well drained, and i'm
provements are all first class. Good
improved land can be bought at from
$25 to $50 an acre. These are the best
bargains in lands that the Red river
valley has seen in three years. The
Mcintosh Land company with their
main office in this town and branch
office at Crookston, are the pushers of
this section and solicit the correspon-
dence Of men who would like to get
the proven lands of the Red river val
ley at about one-half the price paid for
them elsewhere.

thence into Lake Winnipeg, and finally

On the southern slope of the state
we have ltasca lake, as the source of
the Mississippi, with Cass lake, Lake
Winnibigashish, Leech lake and other
innumerable lakes, all adding volume
to the waters of the Mississippi, eyentu-

Then there are Mile Laos, the. source
of Rum river, and the picturesque Lake
Minnetonka. These are the largest
lakes in the state. Of these, however,
only Minnetonka, White Bear, Bald
Eagle and Chisago lakes have so far
been much utilized as summer resorts.
Incompatible Park Region.
The Incompatible park region. ira
versed by the Great Northern and Nor
thern Pacific railroads, is the paradise
of summer idlers, of hunters and fisher
men, but it is not in this portion alone
that all the beautiful lakes are found.
The northeastern and southwestern sec
lions each have numerous lakes to at
tract the summer visitor.
There is an undoubted modification
Of the climate of the state, caused by
these numerous bodies of water, Civ
ing most delightful summer tenn

Fine varieties of fish are abundant
in all these lakes, and the state expends
annually thousands of dollars. thru n

the varieties, and to prevent their wan

No state in the union attracted more
attention by the practical value Of its
exhibit at the st. Louis exposition than
Minnesota. The appellation there
gained of HThe Bread. and Butter
State tells the whole story. It is its
magnificent grain fields and great herds
of dairy cattle that the state finds in
ccreasing and immense wealth and its
farmers substantial incomes and grow
its vast forests of pine and hardwood,
supplies of purest iron ore and other
minerals combine to make it rich in not
only acquired present wealth, but richer
yet in latent and unknown resources
which the coming years are sure to real
ize on.
But great, as has been the growth
. of the state in the last half century
both in wealth and population, that
growth has been most largely in the
rich prairie districts of the state.
Wonderful as to It's Lakes.
The lakes of Minnesota are more
numerous and varied in form than in
any other state in the union. Border
ing on the northeast corner of the
state for $50 miles, the waters of the
great Lake Superior wash its shores.
Within the state there are about 10000
lakes, the largest Of which is Red lake

the state, bordered partly by dense pine
forests, with it's overflow thru Red Lake
