living. With the timber gone it
will. not be encouraging to look
over a farm of stumps and brush
with only a garden patch and
team of worn out logging horses.
I have naught to say against
numbering. This timber is a
blessing when properly utilized.
It should be the aim of every far
mer having timber to get out a
certain amount every winter, but
the end of the logging road in the
spring should lead to the field
a we'll titled feld-and not to the
drive or: Dakota, or worse still,
to summer of idleness.
Get some land cleaned up.
When your timber is gone you
should have at least fifty acres
under cultivation, and that in a
high state of fertility. You can't
have it in a high state of fertility
unless you keep live stock-dairy
COWS, hogs, sheep and poultry.
We don't get into things in a day
or a year. The man who clears
up his farm in bunch and buys
a lot of stock and machinery don t
always succeed; but by clearing
a few acres each year, by getting
into live stock, by raising it, and
learning to care for it, success is
certain.
One thing be sure of: We can t
succeed in farming in this section
of the state without live stock. It
matters rot whether your soil is
sand or clay, it needs manure. It
needs clover. Raise clover, fod-
dercorn and roots. Feed them
and sell the products of your
farm in the form of butter. meat
and eggs. You are then selling
a finished productive most
profitable and that is not all,
The by-products in the way of
manure is worth So ton when
turned back on the soil. It
dou bles the production of soil.
You say you have tried COWS and
hogs and poultry and they don't
pay here. If that is the case, it
is because you don't grow feed
for them, or don't know how to
care for them, or both. Grow
feed: Stud y the subject of car.
ing for farm animals. The care
is half. The cows, hogs and
poultry kept at the Experiment
Farm are paying splendid profit
and they are fed only such feed
and are kept under such condi:
tions as are possible for any
farmer. X -. IT,
Farming may be made as profit
able in Northeastern Minnesota
as anywhere in the state when
our system of farming is right.
The coming season promises to
be a favorable one. Get down to
the soil and do some thing worthy
Of a farmer. Get that manure
pile transferred TO the field
there's money. in.sit. Cultivate
thoroughly, :s.-
Grow feed. That $40 you pay
for a ton of bran if put into a crop
of roots (mangles or stock car:
rots) will produce from rs to 35
tons of feed, worth more than
$3.50 worth Of bran or any other
grain feed.
Pick and clean up around your
place. Make your home beaut-
.iful. Don't say that yon could
do this or that il you had the
money The men who use the
most money in farming as a Iule
get the least out of i. A good
pair Of strong hands and a little
brains and push are the only
things that ever has or ever will
make a profitable farm.

NEW BAKERY
ENTERPRISE.

Henry Bird has bought an in
terest in the Etter Bakery, and
there is going to be a big inn
provement in the bakery business
of this city. First, the plant will
be changed to a steam institution,

Mr.. Etter went to Kansas City
Tuesday to buy the necessary
machinery, and as soon as it ar
rives the contemplated changes

Etter & Bird calculate to do
the bread business of this sec

SAFE ROBBERS LOCATED.
Crook Who Blew Open Katy
Depot at Mineral
Located.

(From Galena Evening Times. Aug. Io')
Sheriff Chas. Rains, returned
Yesterday morning from Alma
Kansas, where he has recently
located one of the desperate crooks
who blew open the safe IN the
Katy depot on April ?, 1905 at
Mineral.
It will be remembered that
three of the gang went to Carl
Junction from Mineral after the
robbery and in the mean time a
warrant was sworn out Tor John
Myers, one of the gang, and City
Marshal Weaver started to place
Myers under arrest.
He called Myers to one side'
and told him that he wanted him,
and Myers informed the marshal
that he was not ready to go. AT
this juncture one of the pals OF
Myers rushed up and drew a re-
volver on the marshal, when the
marshal shot him dead. Myers
then started to run and the mar
shall shot him in the heel and
captured him. The man giving
the name of Morris also started
TO run and was shot through the
leg, but made his escape.
Recently a new found friend OF
Morris carried hammer into the
Alma Jail for the purpose OF
knocking the jailer in the head
and permitting Morris to escape.
Morris informed the confederate
that he did not care anything
about the charge on which he is
in Jail at Alma, but that he was
one of the gang that robbed the
Katy depot at Mineral and on
that account was anxious to get
away. Later the confederate d.
vulged the plot to the Jailers at
Alma and the plans OF Morris
were frustrated.
Morris told a straight story as
to how the gang walked into Carl
Junction and also about Myers
having a bottle of nitro glycerine
in one of his pockets when cap
tured, which he threw into pond
of water fearing that it might
explode during his conflict with
the officer.
Myers was tried in the district
court of Cherokee county, but
the trial resulted in a hung jury.
The cause of this was that wit
nesses were introduced from Jop-
lin, who swore that they were IN
different kinds of business and
gave testimony on behalf OF
Myers. Later it was learned that
witnesses who swore in his behalf
were touts, evidently a part OF
Myers gang, and when the case
comes up for trial again a much
stronger case will be made
against Myers, and he will un-
questionably be landed in the
penitentiary.
The marshal at Alma seems to
be inclined to hold Morris in or
der to get a reward. Sheriff
Rains will accordingly let Morris
remain there only using him as a
witness against Myers. Sheriff
Rains has a picture of the culprit
and says there is not the least
question but that he is the crook

Paid TAKES HELP ROADS

During the last session OF Min
nesota Legislature law was en-
acted whereby any township in
the state desiring to pay their
road tax In money, and hire men
to do the work on the highways,
would be enabled to do so. In
short the act provided for local
option by townships in road max
ing. Several counties of the state
under the provision of this law
have townships where the tax
PAYERS voted to pay their road
tax in cash and adopt the plan OF
hiring road makers.
In commenting upon the result
in his county, C. H. Farnsworth,
secretary Of the Freeborn County
Good Roads association, is quoted
as stating that the change where
it has been adopted in Freeborn
county has been unquestionaDiy
for the better.
Under the new plan where 1t
has been adopted overseers OF ex-
perience are placed in charge and
given power to hire men and put
them to work where the repairs
are needed. AS a result OF the
change, it is said, more work has
been done by the men and gener-
ally better roads are being enjoy
ed by the people.
So we'll has the plan worked IN
Minnesota where it has been tried
that there is talk of changing the
law in such a way that the sys-
tenn of paying taxes in money
will be applied to every township
unless the citizens of that town.
ship at an election vote to the
contrary.
When viewed in its proper light
the payment of road taxes in
money produces generally better
results than where the road tax
is worked out" This seems to
have been the result where the
two methods have been carefully
tested.

VICTORY IS OURS.
Nsosho Was Rather Easy
Picking for tho Home
Team.-The Score
Was 2 TO o.

A few weeks ago the Baxter
team went over to Neosho to play
the national game called base
ball. They played good game,
too, and should have been declar-
ed the victors, but the umpire
who lived in Neosho, was in dan
ger of bodily harm if he decided
against Neosho, so he gave the
Baxterites the worst of it when
ever he had a chance. As Capt.
Eastman said: The whole town
turned out to beat the Baxter
team. Well, the Baxter boys
laid it up for the Neosho team,
and last Sunday enticed the Mis-
sourians over here. But they did
not try to bully them or steal the
game, but merely desired to show
the Missourians that they could
not win in a fair game. Glasner
umpired the game, and so fair
we're his decisions that the Neo-
sho boys could not question a
single one. They were simply
outplayed at every point, and
never even got a look-in at the
game.
The day was an ideal one for
base ball, and the crowd which
witnessed the defeat was a large
one and very orderly.
Adair was in the box for the
home team and Holt did the
catching. But while the Neosho
team played a very good game,
it was merely a mild picnic for
the Baxter boys to clean them
up, and this they did by a score
of two to a big shut-out.
The score by innings was as
follows:
Neosho-O O 90 GO 90 %
Baxter 900 0 0 90 -
SHORT STOPS
The catcher from NeoshO was
good rooster, and very good
natured fellow, but he found out
that roasting would not win a
game, and in the beginning OF
the ninth inning, when NeOsho
had the last chance to make a
tally, he shut up like clam.
Haskell is one of the best anna
teur fielders in this country. His
catches out in that quarter were
the admiration of all.
1t is conceded by even outsiders
that Baxter Springs has one Of
the best teams in the country this
summer.
The team will be greatly
strengthened for the games to bt
played during the big reunion
Several good players are held II
reserve, and we confidently expect
the Baxter boys to pull in thu
big end of the gate money al
week.

THE MINES.

The M. X. & T. mine is being
worked full time and the output
is large every week. AS soon as
the air shaft to the west Of the
mill is completed it will be possi-
bic to greatly increase the output.
The Omaha is making money
for its owners every day in the
week. The dirt is rich, both in
lead and silicate, and Mr.. Wat
son expects to make all of the
owners independent out of the
profits from this mine,
Dell Gill of the Good Luck is
all smiles these days over the
very rich dirt the Good Luck is
turning out. In all directions is
exceptionally. rich lead GROUND,
and the rough is being piled up.
A big mill will be built to con-
centrate the ore.
The contract for the Ward mill
has been let. 1t will be of 500
tons capacity and will be built
under the direct supervision OF
Don McRuer, whose M. X. & T.
mill is the best in the country.
The new Ward mill and mine
will give employment to about
Us men.
Last week the Mission sold
127, $50 pounds of zinc and 81, 44O
pounds of lead. Value, S4873.
The Mission is making lots OF
ore these days. The dirt is in
creasing in richness all the time,
and the mill is doing very fair
work. But when the big 1000
ton mill is built and put into
commission then just watch the
Mission output. The new mill
will be modern in every way, and
and will give employment to
about $50 men.
A big strike has been made on
the l. & o. ground by the New
lands Mining Company, comps:
ed of John Merritt of this city
and Chris Newlands, president OF
the Columbus Coal Company.
This is good news, not only fol
the l. & o. Company, but for the
entire camp, as the Newlands
company has spent in the neigh
borhood of SIS, 900 on the prop
erty in fighting water and sink
ing the shaft. They struck the
ore at go feet and continued in il
to a depth of rs feet, and the
last IS feet seems to be almost
solid zinc ore. The work will e
steadily on, and you can expect
to see this company figuring in
the regular weekly turn-in very
soon. AS soon as the develop
ment would seem to Justify thu
erection of mill one will bt
built, but our guess is that mil
is not going to be needed, as thu
ground has every appearance O
being open, and the ore seems t.
be perfectly free. Itisvery likel,
that only a big battery of hant
jigs is going to be needed to clear
the ore for market.
