New York Post on JAS. ). Hill.


Bu5 Mr. Hills restatement of the
case for reciprocity, Or. if possible,
free trade with Canada, is marked by
a powerful grasp Of fact and a pro-
phetic sense of inevitable business de-
velopments. No one can question his
mastery of the commercial problems of
this continent. His demonstration lies
in the past for the northwest; and his
present large projects across the
border attest his faith in the speedy
coming there of a vast production and
immense markets.
With a fine sweep of business imagi-
nation, Mr.. Hill showed how nature
had indicated a unified growth of agri-
culture and industry and transporta-
tion on this continent. Short-sighted
men have temporarily blocked the
way. Stupid national policies for a
time hinder progress. But the ma.
jestic movement is going on, in spite
of all. 'Commerce will go her way
even though she must walk in
legirons. A mighty development in
western Canada is impending, whether
laws favor it or hamper it. The ques.
tion for Americans is simply whether
they mean to get into natural rela.
tions with it, and profit by it, or to
keep up the foolish tradition of isola.
tion and antagonism.

iPinched Between Bumpers.

. George 81. Landon of Sioux City,
Iowa, who was running as extra ex-
press messenger on the Milaca-W Will
mar passenger train, met with a pain
full and what came being nearly very
serious accident at Milaca on Satur-
day. While endeavoring to enter the
end door of the express car he stood
on the bumpers when the train sud-
denly backed up and caught Landon's
right foot. An investigation of the
foot revealed that the great toe was
so badly crushed that amputation was
necessary.

Union Gives Correct Quotations.

Last week Greenbush farmer COM
planned to the publisher that the local
market quotations published in the
Uni O n were not always correct that
farmers we're occasionally paid less
than the prices quoted. Each and
every week the U nj on gives the exact
prices being paid for grain, potatoes
and other produce at the hour of go
ing to press. The y nj % has no de-
sire to mislead it's farmer readers. It
gives the market quotations just as
it receives them from the dealers.
Prices vary IRON day to day. Bu4
that is not the fault of the Union.
This paper would not knowingly pub
lish incorrect, market quotations for
any consideration. The Union is

SEVENTEEN TO NOTHING.

Carlisle Indians Defeat M1nnesotans in
= Saturdays Football Game.
Minnesota was completely outplayed
and outgeneraled by Carlisle at North
rup Field on Saturday, and sustained
disastrous defeat by the score of II
to 0. This comprises three goals from
the field and touchdown. The latter
was secured through the fatal Juggling
of the ball by MacRae, who was at
tempting to put it out from behind
the Minnesota goal line. A moment
after the ball touched his boot it hit
the chest of burly Indian and re-
bounded back of the Minnesota line,
where Mount Pleasant, the Carlisle
star, fell upon it for a touchdown.
Carlisle won because it was forever
"On the Trail" The Indians we're up
to date in their methods, and played
a twentieth century game. They hit
the trail in a band and not singly, one
by one. The pursuit of the elusive
pigskin was unending. It was fol-
lowed with all the dogged keenness of
scent that the ancestors of the Indians
betrayed when on the quest for the
hated palefaces.

A First Minnesota Veteran Dies.

Herbert E. Tinker, veteran of the
civil war and member of the famous
First Minnesota volunteers, recently
died at Hartford, Conn.,, where he had
been engaged on the police force for
81 years. The cause of his death was
cerebral hemorrhage.
Mr.. Tinker was formerly resident
of st. Paul, where he enlisted in the
First Minnesota volunteers. He served
through the civil war and in 1866 went
to Hartford, where in 1872 he began
police duty. At the time of his death
he was court officer.
r. W. Freer of this village served
in the same company as Mr.. Tinker
and Chas. 81. Rines in the same .regi-
ment. Many of the old veterans of
that regiment will likely remember Mr..
Tinker.

The White Earth Indian Trouble.

Commissioner Leupp of the Indian
Office is rather drastic in his consider
alton of affairs on White Earth Indian
reservation, Minnesota.
In his annual report just made
public he has this to say in regard to
an amendment which Senator Clapp
secured last winter removing all re-
strictions on the half-blood Indians of
White Earth and giving them allot-
ment in fee simple:
''This legislation was opposed by
the Indian office because any indis-
criminate drawing of blood line be-
tween two classes of citizens seems to
me opposed to the spirit of the consti-
tuition and American ideals generally /;
and, in the second place, because al
though many mixed blood Indians of
the White Earth reservation are COM
petent to manage their own affairs
many more are not, and the proposed
law seemed to hold out a perilous sug-
gestion to unscrupulous persons to
take advantage of the Indians and
procure their lands for less than
value.
These fears of the unwisdom of the
legislation were early realized. On
July l8 a newspaper in Minneapolis
published an article charging that dis
graceful conditions existed at Detroit,
Mimi, where land speculators were
plying Indians with liquor in order to
secure deeds or mortgages to their
lands for small amounts: that the
town had been filed with drunken In

Withdrawal of Chippewa Lands.

J. G. II. Engel, register of the
UEited States land Office at Duluth,
says tho News Tribune, has received
an order from Scar, 'o ~ +. A, Hitch
cock of the Interior department at
Washington, withdrawing. from sale,
settlement, or disposalain any way, the
remainder of the lands in the district
ceded by the Chippewa Indians in this
state. A hasty survey of these lands
by the geological bureau has shown
that large part of them may in all
probability be drained economically
and to good advantage and the lands
are to be withdrawn until the ground
has been gone over thoroughly and it's
true character learned.
An act of congress, approved June
Fl, 1904, authorized this withdrawal if
it was deemed advisable by Secretary
Hitchcock, but he did not wish to act
in the matter until thoroughly in
formed as to the character of the land
and the hasty survey was ordered. If
the final and careful survey proves it
to be justifable the federal reclama-
tion service will be put to work on the
land and it will be drained and sold
under the conditions of the act gov
erning drained or irrigated coun-
try. .. ...
The withdrawal extends to all lands
in the agricultural schedules of March
27, 1898; September %. 1908 April 20,
1904: June %, 1905; and August Is,
1906.

Creameries of Minnesota.

Reports now being compiled indi-
cate that there is an increase this
year of seventy. There are said to be
800, 900 dairy COWS in the state. The
production of butter this year is esti.
mated at 90,0oo,00o pounds, compared
with S0,00O,0O0 pounds in 1905. The
value of the butter produced in 1905
was S20,000,000 and owing to the in
crease in supplies and higher prices
this year the 1906 value will likely
show a material increase over the
preceding year.

Milking Machines.

Two new machines, designed to save
half the labor of milking in dairy
barns have been installed in the col
lege of agriculture at the university
of Wisconsin, and will be given prac-
tical tests by students during the short
course in agriculture which opens
Dec. l. This is the first time that
students have been enabled to study
the operations of these machines
which, if all tests prove satisfactory,
will greatly tighten and systematize
one of the most tedious forms of dairy
work. Tests are now being made with
a view to learn the economy of milk
ing machines compared with hand
milking. The cost of the machines
and of their installation and operation
are known factors but the durability
and the labor and time required to
run and to- clean them properly are
yet to be learned, as we'll as the effici-
ency of the machines under usual
conditions. An important question to
be investigated, also, is the effect of
the machine on the production of the
COW, both in quality and in quantity.
The structure of the machine is simple,
being composed of the suction produc-
ing apparatus, an air pump, driven by
any convenient farm power and iron
plpings and fittings extending through
the barn to connect the mixers with
the vacuum apparatus.

ROBBER SCARED OFF
Attempt Supposedly Made on Sunday
Night to BurglariZe Office
of County Treasurer.
Door of Room Forced Open, But No
Evidence Exists of Safe Having
Been Tempered With.

Sometime Sunday night a person
or persons, supposedly with burglar
ious intent, forced open the door to
County Treasurer Burrell's Office in
the court house. An examination of
the door shows that no tools of any
sort we're used in effecting the entry,
it having been accomplished by mere
pressure brought to bear upon the
lock. The brass plate through which
the bolt of the lock passes to secure
the door was badly twisted and sufi-
cient of the woodwork torn away to
permit of the release of this bolt, but
aside from this damage no other depre-
dation can be discovered. The con-
tents of the Office were found to be in
tact and there was no evidence that the
safe had been tampered with. In this
safe Mr.. Burrell never keeps more
than few dollars over night. His
receipts are banked daily.
It is supposed by the county officials
that the burglars were scared by some
one passing through the court house
corridor-which is usually kept open
before they had an opportunity to &C
complish their end That they we're
strangers and unfamiliar with the
building is evident from the fact that
they could have easily attained access
through the transom of the auditors s
office, which was at the time open, and
entered through the doorway between
the two rooms, which is scarcely ever
closed. The transom of the treasurer's
office was closed and bolted.
Robert Clark, janitor at the court
house, while sweeping the treasurer's S
Office at o'clock on Monday morning,
discovered that the door had been
broken open. The door was, however,
closed when he arrived at the court
house. Mr.. Clark says that on Sun
day night between 9 and 10 O'Clock he
attended to his furnace in the basement
and that everything appeared all right
in the building, so that from this it
might be presumed that the depreda-
tion was committed between that time
and 7 o'clock on Monday morning.
However, it is possible that the bur-
glars heard the approach of Mr.. Clark,
closed the door of the treasurer's Office
and scooted away before he entered
the building. There is no clue to the
perpetrators of the deed.
1t has been customary to leave the
main doors of the court house open at
night, but hereafter they will be locked.

THE POTATO MARKET
Over Sixty Cars of Spuds Shipped
by Princeton Warehousemen
During Past Week.
Superiority of Minnesota Potatoes
Will Bring Greater Demand
and Higher Prices.

While potatoes have been arriving
but slowly and in small quantities
during the past week the shipments
have been larger than those of any
like period this season. At least sixty
carloads have been dispatched to
various points by Princeton ware
housemen. This can be attributed
largely to the fact that more cars
have been available, enabling oper-
ators to fill at least a portion of their
standing orders. ...
The inferiority of immense quanti-
ties of frosted potatoes which have
been dumped into Kansas City and
Chicago and have there become a
drug on the market has had the effect
of causing weaker market.
= The care with which potatoes have
been handled this season by. the farm
ers and warehousemen in this imme-
diate locality has precluded thejpossi-
bility of much damage by frost, and
the small quantity of spuds which
have been ':nipped" in the process of
opening the pits have been carefully
removed. ; ~,.: -.
The superiority of the potatoes har-
vested this season in Minnesota over
those grown in any other part of the
United States can have but one effect
that of creating continually increas-
ing demand, and this fact must event.
ually bring an advance in prices.
Prices at this point have for the
past seven days been virtually the
same as those prevailing week ago.

United States department. of agri-
culture gives the average yield per acre
of potatoes all over the country this
season as 1925 bushels, compared
with 81 bushels last year, 11O.4 two
years ago and an average for the past
ten years of 84.4.. The average quality
is placed at 80 per cent, compared with
1874 last year, 1914 in 1904 and 1854 in

ANDERSON WAKES WARM.

Finds Cellar Window Smashed and Signs
of Burglars. ]~f
A man with a load of coal arrived
at E. B. Anderson's residence last
week during the absence of everyone
from home. After searching about
for an entrance to the cellar the man
with the coal eventually located the
basement window. Basement window
was fastened. In his attempt to open
it basement window crashed down GEL
lar and scattered itself promiscuously
around. Man with the coal swore a
little, laughed little and shoveled
anthracite into cellar while he sang
Everybody works but father"
The following morning Ed Ander-
son, whose custom it is to get up at 5
O'Clock and feed his rapacious fur
mace, repaired to the basement and
threw half dozen crossties into the
mouth of the woodeater. While thus
engaged he stumbled over a window
sash which he recognized as that be-
longing to the cellar. "Hi, hi! Burg
lars, I guess!" calculated Ed. Look
ing further, with the aid of lantern,
he discovered that not only had the
window been broken out but thata load
of coal had been deposited in the
cellar. "Coal, eh? Coal! Coal!! Am
I in my own cellar, wonder?" Sub
sequently concluding that he was up
on his own premises, he returned up
stairs, ate his breakfast and, going up
town, instituted a search for the man
who had, without authority and un-
known to him, dumped load of coal
in his cellar. The coal was to him
useless as his furnace only ate wood,
and he was exceedingly wrathy that
any man should dare muss up his
newly renovated cellar with such dirty
material as coal.
Ed tramped about town from place
to place in vain endeavor to dis
cover the culprit who broke his window
and demoralized the whitewash on his
cellar walls. In the course of his
peregrinations he ran across Ed Evens
and to him he told his tale of woe. It
appears that Ed (Ed Evens) had also
been tramping about town for two
hours looking for drayman who had
started for his house the day pre-
viOus with load of coal and which at
that time had not arrived there.
Then and there the mystery was
cleared up. The wrong Ed had re-
ceiVed the coal.
