MANY WOULD RETURN |
Canada EmigrantS Look
Back With Regret to
Minnesota

During the past few years great
land boom has overtsken certain
parts Of Canada and farmers, mer
chants and .othere have emiarated.
selling or leaving their farms ana
property in the rush for Canada and
prosperity, their numbers being added
to by not a few dissatisfied Morrison
county people, mostly farmers. Pros
pectuses sent out by the agents Of
speculating land companies have
reached nearly every home and seduc.
tive promises map cut a prosperous
and hsppy future for the gullible
emiRrant, for~~do they not state that
Canada is the country Of wonderful
crops tnat never fail, the country
where everything is cheaper than here
while products Of Industry bring high
pricesf And what is the truthY It is
best told through the mouth of an EN-.
migrant who recently returned to
Minnesota and expresses well found
ded opinion.
He went to Moosejaw, Ssskatche-
wan, and looked for homestead, but
found, upon investigation, that the
reports are very false. Machinery.
In unbes, dour and rhe comm odities Of
every day life are much hi CHER than
here. Every season during the past
seven years the crops in that vicinity
have been almost totally ruined by
hail. During the first part Of the
present season the weather was too
dry and vegetation was parched and
burnt. Thsn it began TO rain and
rained steadily uotil what vegetation
remained was practically drowned ont.
Grass is from to 4 irches high at
present, ccordirg to this mans state
ment.
Many Minnesota people are anxious
to get back but cannot do SO, having
lost their little all'' in the majority
of cases. A poor settler in Canada
hnds 1t almost impossible to get away
as the law allows an emigrant to
sell his property only after living
there q year. Yes. Canada is a Land
of prosperity aud weal.h-for the
land boomers, while it lsste.
Minnesota is one of the best agri-
cultural and industrial states in the
Union and it's residents should think
twice and look well about them
before emigrsting to other and less
favored climes to bite of large chunks
OF the epeculator rough on rats.

HOW FASHIONS ARE MADE.

Several years ago when the present
King of England who was then Prince
of Wales, was so unfortunate as to
have boil under his right arm. AS
a result of this. when he shook hands
with his friends he was compelled to
raise his right hand and elbow to the
level Of his chin. This Immediately
became the fashionable way to shake
hands, and was common in the
smart set' Of two continents. We
have not entirely lost the fashion to
this day. but it seams to be going.
One custom which is here to stay is
the daily use Of golden grain belt
beer. To the families who observe
this custom come health, strength and
Happiness. Order case OF your near

tunste mistake In a draft for 81, 400,
placing the wording of the amount at
el4 and the numericals st 81. 400. thus
conflicting in the amount Of the face
of the draft, q bold insurance swindle
has been discovered here. The insur.
ance was issued by the Ancient Order
of United Workman to Andrew e. An
derson of Bemidji, who was a mem.
Der Of the Little Falls loage. Anderson
died in Bem,dji on May 2 last, and
proofs Of his death were duly made
out and fled with the recorder of the
lodge at Little Falls. On June 10, q
warrant for the amount was sent to
the recorder at Little Falls On May
20, Mrs. Ande son. the widow, wrote
to the recorder telling him she was in
financial traits and wished to get the
money. The officer ans wered that she
could have it when she had fled the
certificates that were issued to her
husband at the time he took out the
insurance.
This letter was delivered to the
wrong Mrs Anderson, q woman IN.
known here, who took the letter to G.
W. Scrutchin, an attorney here, and
told the latter that she had this mon.
ey coming, bat had lost the certi6-
Gates. Believing that the woman was
telling the trutn. the attorney write
to the lodge Official, and received word
that the won an m lust make affidavit to
that effect which she did, but the
affidavit did not suit the head officers

the draft was presented it was dis
covered that the 6gures on the drsft
called for 81, 400 and the written
amount $14. The Escanaba bank re-.
turned tna draft. Now it has been
discovered that the woman who cot
away with the 5000 in cash is fraud
and there is a. controversy as to who
will stand the less, the local bank or
the officers Of the lodge. W. b. An.

several days looking up evidence in
the case, and he states that the order
is willing to stand q suit to test the

A TERRIBLE FATALITY
Ray Fuller Loses Llfe--Bo.
dy Severed by Band
Saw

Ray Fuller, son Of E. E. Fuller Of
this city, met a horrible death Mon.
day evening while at work in the
Pine Tree Lumber Co. s saw mill,
his body being almost cut into two
parts by the bandsaw on the 'lonq
side of the mill, where he wae
cleaning up preparatory to changing
saws. During the forepa1t of the
evening Albert Fuller, brother OF
the unfortunate young man who lost
his life, was badly bruised and had
an ankle sprained, being caught be.
tween two logs and his place on the
deck was taken by Ray Fuller.
From the statement Of Mill Supt. I.
L. Warren and employees, it appears
that Ray Fuller had applied for a
position similar to his brothers., and
when Albert was hurt. Foreman Alex
Rowe put Ray in the place. He had
been working ab:ut two hours, until
1O :16 p. m, when the mill was shut
down on account Of an edgar belt

Fo1ler began to shovel away the rub
bleh near the saw which was still
running. The crew told him to pe
careful at the wCrk, and n. P. Lar.
sen, the ''d7gger,' took tha shovel
from Fuller, saying ne would do it
himself. Swamper J. Miller saw that
the shovel was too vide and picked
up another 70 hand to Larson behind
the saw, which had slowed down, but
was running at half speed 1t was
quite reach, and Fuller, probably in.
tending to take the shovel and pass
1t on, unthlnkingly stepped between
the tracks and reached in front Of the

Charles Holmes saw what had nap.

loose, but the teeth of the saw we're
firm in the clothing and entered
throug gh the unfortunate mans side,
cutting through to the shoulder blade
until the body was almost completely
severed, when it dropped. Fuller
must have been killed instantly. The
mill was sh7t down for the rest of the
night. The men who SAW the accl.
dent were almost unnerved by the
frightfoll scene. In the thirty years
VI Mr. warren experience as null
man this is the first time a fatal &C.
