Corn Planting.

cit has been great mystery to me,
said an experienced farmer to the re-
porter on Wednesday, 'why this coun-
ty has made so little progress in the
matter of corn planting. I refer es-
peciaIly to the manner Of putting IN
the seed.
There are quite a number of ma
chine planters in use, it is true, he
continued but if you take our coun-
tv as a whole you will find that most
of the corn acreage is still put = IN
the old fashioned way-dropped by
hand.
There are on the market scores Of
machine corn planters, any Of them
capable of planting corn more salts
factorily and more economically than
is possible by the hand method, and
considering the low cost Of a good
corn planter, 1 can't see how any man
can afford to hold on to the old time
method
"The advantage of good corn
planter over hand methods does not
begin to stop with the mere putting
of the seeds in the furrow. It only be-
gins there. The man with good
planter even a single furrow machine,
can plant three acres of corn While
the hand dropper is planting one acre,
and with a double furrow machine,
one can do six times as much as the
hand dropper.
and the machine does it so much
better. Not only is the corn dropped
at regular intervals; but it is put in
a. straight even line, and the great ad-
vantage comes in the working. A
machine planted field can be cultivat-
ed with so per cent less labor than is
required in the case of a hand planted
field, and that advantage continues
from the first thinning out on until
the corn is pulled.
There are middle-aged farmers out
West who have never seen corn drop
ped by hand, and when you tell them
of the methods still in vogue in this
country, they wonder what kind OF
plodders we are anyway. ay."-Yorkville

Property Owners Ask City
Council to Establish One on
Each Side Of Street.
MATTER DISCUSSED AT MEET.
ING LAST NIGHT.
Water Mains Interfere With
Original Petition Asking
20 Foot Boulevard.

The petition Of property
owners living on Bemidii avenue
asking that the city council es-
tablish a boulevard 20 feet in
width on each side of the street
was discussed at the meeting
last night and finally referred
back to w. L. Brooks and others,
signers of the petition. DR..
Morrison represented the
signers.
The petition asks that the
avenue be boulevarded 20 feet
from the property line on each
side, and that the sidewalks be
placed distance of five feet out
from the property line thus
leaving a boulevard of five feet on
the inside of the sidewalk and
nine feet on the outside, the
sidewalk being six feet in width.
The council took the matter up
at length but an objection to
making the boulevard 20 feet
wide was raised, one member of
the council explaining that the
water mains are located only Is
feet outside the property line
and that should it ever be neces-
sary to take up the mains it
would necessitate the destruction
of the boulevard. The plan sug-
gested to overcome this difficulty
was to make the boulevard II
feet in width. This would leave
one foot from the outside of the
boulevard to the water mains, so
that if the mains were taken up
it could be done without doing
damage to the boulevard.
The signers Of the petition
will investigate the matter thor
oughly and a special meeting of
the council will be held Wednes-
day to act on the proposition.

G. h. Miles Returns With.
Father Whom He Had Not
Seen for Many Years.
FATHER AND son ENJOYING BE.
Midi SIGHTS TOGETHER.
Aged Parent Will Remain in the
City About Two Weeks Before
Returning Home.

Gil. Miles returned last night
from Alderman, Mississippi, in
company with his father, Peter
Miles, whom he had not seen for
nearly 80 years. Although 60
years Of age and the father Of Is
children, the elder Miles presents
an excellent appearance. Healthy
vigorous and active, the aged
gentleman looks younger than
many men of 40.
The home of Mr.. Miles is in
Wiston county, Mississippi, and
bis nearest railway station is
Alderman, Is miles distant.
When Charles, who left Bemidiii
about a week ago to find his
father, from whom he had re
ceived word, arrived at the home
OF his parents he raped on the
door, which was opened by Mr..
Miles. He allowed his identity
to remain unknown for a few
minutes, but when he made
known his name the elder gentle,
man was dumbfounded. After
greetings had been exchanged
they entered the house which the
younger Miles left at the age OF
nine,. where a general family
reunion took place.
Charles Miles left home at the
age of nine years, shortly after
the death of his mother. His
struggle in life up to the age of
II was one Of the hardest that
ever fell to the lot of a human be
ing, but after many ups and
downs he was finally successful
His success lasted for short
time only, however, and few
years before coming to Bemidi il
the large fortune that he amass.
ed while in Chicago was reduced
to a small pittance. He became
successful again, however, and
when he came to Bemidji he had
several thousands of dollars,
which was Immediately invested
His success from that time on
has been wonderful, and at the
present time he is one of tie most
sound men financially in north
ern Minnesota, owning large
property interest in Bemid il and
other points throughout the state.
The elder Miles has been mar
ried twice and is the father Of
Is children, Is of whom are now
living. Charles Miles has nine
brothers, seven of whom are half
brothers, and six sisters, five of
whom were born after the death
Of his mother. The Oldest mem
Der OF the family is son 80 years
OF age and the youngest another
son three years.
The aged gentleman will re;
main in Bemidji about two weeks
taking in the sights before leav.
ing for his home in Mississippi.

the extension into the Sixth and Fifth
wards. But instead we are increasing
the pressure to protect more adequately
the business buildings. The whole city
is being taxed for this but you don t
hear anybody Directing to it. There is
part of this Fifth ward which has been
paying taxes for years for fire protection
which it has not secured. If any one
has right to object to continue helping
the business property owners on KAN
it is these people in the Fifth ward.
On the same basis it could be said by
the property owners in the residence
section: We have had good pressure in
the past but the business district has
broadened out so that it is no more ade-
quate. If the business men want bet
ter pressure let them pay for it. We
paid once, it is now 10 to them
They claim that the city at large
should pay for the resurfaeing of the
pavement because they have worn At
out. I wonder what they think of the
way the sidewalks are condemned. The
street commissioner goes around and if
he sees a sidewalk that has been worn
out he chalk marks it. The street force
is sent around and the sidewalk is
torn 10 and a new one put in The
property owner has no say so. He has
/ to pay for it. there is no getting around
it. He don't have two or three years to
pay for it either, he has to pay for it
in one year. Often the sidewalk costs
upwards of 800 while the property only
brings in SIS or $50 a month.
Il believe that two months rental
would pay for the entire resurfacing of
Kansas avenue. I believe that that is
a conservative estimate. Furthermore,
that two months rental need not be
paid out of one years rental either but
may be scattered over number of
years. 1t was an unfortunate thing
that a mass meeting should be held in
the interests os paving when it was.
Things were shaping all right and pub
lie sentiment was coming around to the
situation but that mass meeting gave
it a setback, from which it will take
some time to recover. We must have
4 facts before we can expect to proceed.
You can't face these property owners
they are in a situation where they must
be argued and persuaded with, not
4 driven"

GUNS TO OPEN SOON.
Mr.. Carver Has a Plan of Action
Against Joints.

AS soon as c. c. Coleman, attorney
general for the state of Kansas, re-
turns from Washington, the opening
guns will be fired to rid Shawnee
county and primarily Topeka of its
joints
A definite plan has been worked out
to be followed in the crusade, but
those who have framed it refuse to
divulge its character. Judge T. F.
Carver, the assistant attorney general
for this county. is out of the city but
viii return the latter part of next
week, about the time that Mr.. Cole
man is expected back.
Frank Foster one of the men most
active in the matter of temperance in
this city. said this morning: 1--WE have
made our plan, but are not yet ready
to give it out. There will be some
thing doing, however, upon Mr.. Cole
mans return
z. B. Cowgirl, another prominent
prohibitionist and for many years
closely identified with the movement,
also knows what the plans are but he
too refuses to say anything about
them THAT would be in Mr. Cole
mans place" he said when he re-
turns he may give something out
about the matter, but it is not my
place to do so"
Mr. Cowgirl then talked about the
scheme which has been worked effec-
lively, namely the enjoinfng of prop
erty owners from renting their build
ings to jOintsts. This plan Mr.. Cow
gill denominated a very fine one. and
designated a number OF places over
the state where it has worked effec-
lively. He produced an interview
from Kansas City paper of this
morning in which J. K. Codding also
spoke of the injunction movement as
an effective method of stopping the
sale of liquor
So it may be inferred that this is
mart the Man of 10 To l1n f4rso cd
on Topeka. Whatever the movement

break loose pretty quickly upon Mr..
