FAT BEEF FOR

Farmers Are Gradually Learning Wis.

Beef More Plentiful This Winter,

According to well-informed mar
ket man the time is not far distant
when sufficient amount of beef for
our home consumption will be raised
by farmers in the valley. Beef cat
tie this fall and winter are more plen-
tiful than in years past and the farm
ers are receiving fair price for the
same right here at the home market
without going to the expense of ship
ping to the city.
1t has been the custom in the past
and very foolish custom at that. for
farmers to turn off in the fall their
cattle and ship them to the city mark
cts where a small sum was realized
for them. Good sized twO-year-old
steers brought all the way from $40
up to maximum of $50. The same
animal fed for a short time and mar
keted at home would bring about $40.
The farmers of the valley are begin,

seems certain that In the next few
years the number of cattle kept into
the winter and fattened for home con
sumption will be much in excess or

farmers is, according to the market
man, they are in too much of a hurry
to turn off stock in the fall and take
whatever the market offers. The same
condition prevails in the marketing Of
hogs. Few hogs are kept after thew

Took A Pill at Max,ille

One of the state papers is telling
good story on Great Northern con-
ductor whose run is on the line from
Larimore to Wahpeton. At Larimore
an old lady boarded the train and at
once inquired how far it was to May
vile. The conductor told her the dis
lance, and went about his work. In
few minutes the porter was ,accosted
and asked the same question. Next the
brakeman was Intercepted, and then
the conductor was again asked to tell
the distance, and earnestly requested
to not pass the place without inform
ing the old lady, who was supposed to
be very much unused to travelling
alone. But when Mayville was reach
ed the conductor became engaged in
his work and forgot his inquiring pas
senger. After the station had been
passed a couple of miles, the sight of
the old lady as he was collecting fares,
reminded the man in uniform that he
had carried her past her destination,
and would in all probability, have to
give a severe accounting for his for
getfulness to his superior officers.
But a glance convinced him she was
asleep and he caught the bell cord
with a sigh of rehef-as he thought of
how he could back his train to the
town and get her off his hands with
out her knowing that her request had
not been specifically carried out The
depot was reached and the old lady
was aroused. When asked to get out
of the coach she became indignant and
said, II did not want to get of at May
vile; l only wanted to take pill
when we got there, as the doctor said
that would be about the right time"

HON. K N UTE
NELSON

A Fargo Correspondent Gives A Rea-
sdnWhy the Senator Went Fishing
When His Countrymen Needed His
Assistance.
Fargo, Jan. 6.-Reports as to the
meeting of Sons Of Norway, at Devils
Lake, to celebrate the independence of
Norway are received here with consid-
cradle interest on account of the part
taken during the past year by North
Dakota people in behalf of separation.
1t will be remembered that the Nor
wegians of Bottineau county held a
meeting last summer, passed strong
resolutions and sent them to Senator
Hansbrough. The Senator, who was
champion of Norwegian independ-
ence, laid these resolutions before
President Roosevelt with written
statement vouching for the genuine
ness of the meeting and the earnest
ness of those who participated in it.
This recalls somewhat amusing
feature of the campaign made last
year by the American sons of Norway
In the northwest in behalf of indie
pendence in the old country. At
great meeting of American Norweg-
ians held at Fargo when the Norweg-
Ian singers were on a. visit to this
country, the Hon. Knute Nelson made
speech in which he used his big stick
on his countrymen. telling them that
they were too fussy, too exacting and
too. hard to please" The fact that the
Hon. Knute failed to encourage the
movement for independence did not
suit the sons of Norway, especially the
WI inn ~S~
away much disguised.
Later In the summer, 1t Is said, re-
peated efforts to get the Hon. Knute to
take up the independence question
with the president failed. The Hon.
knute appeared to be too busy, and
1t Is reported that for several weeks
during that campaign he was lost a.
mong the Minnesota lakes where he
had gone probably to discuss the ques-
ton with the black bass and wall-eye-
ed pike.
Not few of the Hon. Knute's friend
knew that he had at oii- Gle taken
a deep interest In the affairs of one
Norwegian and couple of Laplanders
who were helping California syndi-
cate to get possession of some mines
IN Alaska, and they had hoped that.
"ASu Ola Iuc pcOplc VI OH Norway
where the Hon. Knute is said to have
been born, were in trouble; when mon
archial Europe was trying to strange
the Norwegians and choke the spirit
of independence out of them, he would
come to the front, foregoing the plea
sures of the rod and reel, the pass
time of aristocracy, and do his level
best to give them relief a,
Now that Norway has achieved her
independence without the aid OF the
Hon. Knute these same friends have
had time to question each other and
make a mental survey Of the situation,
and they find that little more than
one half of the candinavians in MIN
nesota are Swedes, and that the
Swedes were opposed to Norwegian
independence. They find further al /
though this may not have anything to
do with It that heretofore both
swedes and Norwegians have been vot-. 8
ing quite solidly for the Hon. knute,
and that the Hon. Knute will soon be

Ethics of Wall Street Men.

Tom Watson's Magazine: And who
are these mighty men of Wall street?
What are their natures, purposes,
ideals, methods? What is their work
after it is done? In private life it may
be, and probably is, the fact that most
of these Wall streeters are exemplary
citizens. They are doubtless, good
husbands, fathers and friends. AS old
Thomas Carlyle said: God forbid that
any human creature should be with
out virtue" In thteir relations to
their fellowmen the Wall streeters are
honest after their own standard, and
scrupulously exact. That is to say,
they observe the rules of the game
The stealing from the public, and from
each other, is done with the incest re-
gard to the prophecies. The rascality
is of the sort called eminently respect
able" How to get this pound of flesh
without drawing blood was the puzzle
of Shylock. how to rob a compatriot
and dearly beloved brother without
violating the laws against robbery is
the conundrum upon which the Wall
streeter constantly whets his brain.
And he goes to church with his FAM
lily every Sunday in most decent and
commendable way
In Wall street will be found the
American business man in his highest
state of development. His knowledge
of the affairs which concern him is
vast and ready. There is not rusty
piece in all his mental machinery. He
is awake from his shoe-strings up. He
can go to the marrow of business mat
ters as unerringly as fox hound tells
fox from hare. He is masterful man,

STEENERSON'S
NEW BILL
Polk County Congressman Introduced
Drainage Measure in Congress This
Week. ....

Wceks
The following dispatch from Wash
ingtOn relative to a bill introduced
by Congressman Stevenson will be
OF interest to readers of The Evening
Times:
Congressman Stevenson has taken
the first step toward bringing to the
attention of congress the question of
reclamation of swamp lands in Mime
sofa by drainage, by introducing a
bill for that purpose. 1t provides that
the proceeds of sales of public lands
In Minnesota, exclusive of coded In
dian lands, shall be set aside in the
treasury in separate fund to be
known as the drainage reclamation
fund.-" which is to be used in exam
ination and survey for, and construc-
tton and maintenance of drainage
works and drainage outlets for the re-
clamatiOn of swamp lands.
The remainder of the bill is drawn
along the lines of the present irriga-
ton reclamation law, providing for
assessment of the cost of reclamation
against the lands, which are to be
subject to entry under the homestead
law, such cost to be paid by settlers,
In addition to the regular price of the
land. The secretary Of the interior is
authorized to withdraw all lands sub
ject to reclamation by drainage fror,
settlement and entry, pending the CON
structiOn of drainage works The
secretary is also authorized to let con-
tracts for the construction of drain
age works, provided the amount of the
contract is available in the reclama-
don fund, also to cooperate with the
state authorities in all cases where
drainage outlets may serve public,
state or Indian lands.
The bill provides that the proceeds
OF sales of lands for the current fiscal
year shall be used to start this fund.
The fund derived from the sales of
public lands in Minnesota last year,
exclusive of Indian lands and the
Der cent paid the state, amounted to
$4,000.
