L, ~.
MoRGANToWN Sept, T.-Protes-
sor samuel B. Brown has Just return-
ed from an interesting trip through
California; Oregon and Washington.
where he went to examine certain
gold mines in the interest Of several
San Francisco parties.
The most Of Professor Browns Eeol-
orlcaI work lay in the mountains Of
northern california which are reach
ed only by stage coach and pack
horses. Professor Brown. acrnlnpan.
led By HerscheI Protzman. OF Nor.
Eantown. visited Kansas City, Salt
Lake city and san Francisco ON the
outward trip, and after finishing his
special work, went up the Oregon val
ley to Portland and Seattle.
Salt Lake CitysiB lremarI<able for It's
excellent water, wide streets and fine
sanitary condition, says Professor
Brown. A distinguishing feature Is
the stream OF running wafer which
flows through each drain of every
street all during the day. AT night
the supply is turned OF. The railroad
bridge across the lake Is a wonderful
niece OF engineering construction, and
a unique feature OF the city.
San Francisco is even more earth
ouake-stamped than one would expect.
The people, however. seem brave aud
buoyant. and do not take their mis-
fortunes too much to heart.
The fertile Oregon valley is tenn
ing with crops of magnificent fruits
and grains. Second crops OF alfalfa
we're being reaped when Professor
Brown passed through. The wheat is
gathered in sacks and Left in the Ilelds
until Christmas, as there will be no
rains till then.
Everywhere one is impressed With
the magnificent distances and the
booming spirit of the west. On his
bomeward trip Professor Brown trav-
eled 1900 miles without making
longer stop than 20 minutes. West OF
the Mississippi newspapers carry no
eastern news, for the wcsterner is too
busy booming his own town arid State
to be interested in matters farther re-
moved.
professor Brown visited the State
universities of California and Wash
inrton. He reached the. former on the
day of it's opening, and found the stu
dents fairly swarmlng into 1t FRO
lessor Brown was entertained at the
University Club, where luncheons are
served to professors and students who
cannot 20 home in the middle OF the
day and where certain students help
nay their way through college by wait
ing ON the table. Pictures of LeConte'

The University Of Washington sVen
though belonging to SO young State,
has finer buildings than many OF Its
eastern nefghbors. The campus COW
ers over 900 acres of ground and Is
very beautiful. Real estate even In
country districts brings fabulous
prices. a piece of woodland near the
university grounds being sold recently
for $4,000 per acre.

Professor Brown stopped a day in

DIRECTORS PAY OFF SCHOOL DEBT
Comfrey School is Nearly Free From
Incumbrance.

The people OF the village Of Comfrey
must rejoice in the fact that they are
able to take up most Of the original
debt that was contracted for the erec-
ton Of good school building. About
the first thing that was put up in the
village was place in which to hold
school. It could hardly be called a
school house fort was more in the
nature Of q wood shed, but it answered
the purpose and the first term Of school
was taught in this. Since then there
has been erected very substantial
building and the Times in referring to
the matter last week has the fol flowing:
Back in 1901, in order to raise money
with which to build school house,

its proper officials, issued on the lst
day Of October Of that year five bonds,

1908; October LIST, 1909: October LIST,
1910. At the last annual meeting of
the school district it was found that;
the finances Of the district would justify
the taking up Of all the bonds, except.

all up except the one due October lst,
1907. Monday morning, October 1st,
the school board came into possession
of the four which now bear the stamp

district with a debt of only $500, pro-

WENT UP AGAINST TARIFF WALL
Sleepy Eye Citizens Experience Duty
Effects.

A recent issue of the st. Paul Dis
patch contains a letter from one of the
citizens of Sleepy Eye showing the i'll
effects of the Dingley tariff adjustment
for which McCleary is stalking his
Office to defend and against which Mr..
Hammond is protesting. The letter is
as follows:
''Two good republicans of this town.
have had a lesson in protection When
Mr.. Michael Bekke, of the firm of Hose
& Bekke, dealers in hardware, went to
Denmark on a visit this year, Mr..
Frederiksen asked him to buy for him
in Denmark two dozen terra Gotta
hand painted plates. Mr.. Bekke bought
them, paid the price asked and re-
ceived a receipted invoice of them. On
their arrival in New York they were,
held up by the cutoms officials for
''under valuation Mr.. Frederiksen
was notified that the appraisers had
raised the invoice valuation 200 per
cent and assessed the duty, 80 per cent.
upon that valuation. He was assured
by the customs officer that the APP
praisers were men we'll posted in the
value of such goods. The plates re-
main in the customs warehouse and
will dou btless remain there.
st is needless to add that both Mr..
Bekke and Mr.. Frederiksen have had
their eyes open to McClearyism and
are not friendly to standpattism."
Here we have another instance of the
Dingley principle of taxing imports,
not on what was actually and bonafde
paid for them, but on what customs
appraisers think they are or should be
worth. No man who buys any article
abroad, knowing the tax stated in the
schedules, can be sure that he will pay
that tax on the actual value of the
goods. The idea is, you know, that it
is a crime for anyone to buy anything
made outside the limits of the United
States. st. Paul Dispatch.

IDA [. RETURNS WITH HONOR.
Frank Nenno's Mare Takes Money
at All Races.
Gets First Money Three Times and
Third Money Twice.
Has Been Entered in the Mankato
Driving Races Wednesday,.

New Ulm at last has a horse that
has made a record, and one that re-
turns to the city from the various races,
having earned her owner some money.
There was a time il the history of.this
city when drying horses were all the
rage and the. young fellows of the
place had considerable money invest
ed in them and with scarcely an ex-
ception the owners were the losers, but
it is different with Frank Nenno.
About a year ago he purchased Ida
L., nervy little bay mare, but did not
enter her in the races until this fall
when she appeared for the first time at
St.EPeter at the county fair as one of
the entries in the short-ship circuit.
In this race as we'll as all subsequent
races the mare was entered in the 2:25
class for PAGERS or trotters, and was
able to get third place only, the track
being soft and the driver new. The
time in this race was 2:26.
~ Following this race the animal was
entered in the races for the county fair
at this place and the race in which she
appeared was watched with interest by
a large number of people and there was
genuine enthusiasm with wild APP
plause when after five heats the little
bay PAGER came in ahead. The time
in this race was 2:24.
At st. James although the time was
reduced to 2:23 there were speedier
horses and the mare came in third, but
in the following races at Window and
6 Madelia the timeFwas cut to 2:21 at
both places and in both instances the
mare took first money.
The sum of the earnings of the PAGER
for the entire circuit is in the neigbor-
hood of $1,000, and the owner is natur-
ally proud of the record made. In all
OF the races'Fred Spoerhase was the
driver, and his knowledge Of driving
and taking advantage Of different sit
uations on the track stood HMM good
stead.
Ida L. has been entered IN the
driving races that are to be held in
Mankato on Wednesday and as
the track there is in excellent shape
there is every reason to believe that
she will come home with additional
honors.

NAY HAVE MUSICAL MERGER
Local Musicians plan to Combine
Local Talent.
Want to Give Concert That Will
Excel All Others.
Proceeds of Entertainment to be
Turned Over to Poor.

a movement is on foot, started by
JOS. Hofmeister, director of the Second
Regiment band, the purpose of which
is to unite all of the different musical
limitations in the city in one large
body and develop a concert that will
be something better than has ever been
given in the city.
The project was preached first to the
Maennerchor at the meeting Friday
evening and was received by the mem
bers with enthusiasm. Tt is antici-
pated that this large organizationW will
take the matter in hand and work it
out SO that something in the line con-
templated will be accomplished.
There are a number of musical or
ganizations in the city aside from the
bands, both vocal and Instrumental,
and combination of those would
bring together superior order of
talent sufficient to produce concert
that would interest almost every per-
son in the city and tax the largest
hall to bold those who would want to
be present.
It is not designed to be money
making scheme, in fact it is not the
purpose OF. the projectors of the move
ment to make cent out of it except
sufficient to cover what little expense
there will be in making the arrange
ments, getting the music and the like,
but the suggestion was made that the
money derived from the sale of seats
be given to the city as donation to
the poor fund or for the benefit Of the
poor of the city, or for some other
such charitable purpose.
All to whom the move has been mem
toned have fallen readily into the
spirit of the thing and from present
indication there is reason to believe
there will be but little difficulty in COM
pleting the preparations and getting in
line for immediate and active work
Now that M. A. Endres is in the city
there is a very capable man at hand to
direct, and as director there are few
better.
It is something new in the line of en-
tertainment and something beyond the
contemplation of any previous efforts
to get up something for the entertain
ment of the people of the city, and the
novelty Of it will appeal to many to
which the mere program of a band
concert would not. It is worth trying
and will give the musical talent of the
city something with which to employ
their spare time for many evenings
prior to the date of the concert

effort to rid himself of the bondage Of
a man with many relatives by marri-
age. He has one ally, and only one,
and the two have a combination of
funny experiences and hair breadth es-
capes which is framed up into one Of
the most ludicrous pieces of nonsensic-
al stage productions of the decade.
The cast employed in the interpreted
ton of the merry musical melange is
one of the best entour, including as it
does some of the best farceurs on the
comedy stage. There is no end Of
bright comedy lines, catchy musical
and dance numbers, while there is a
long string of vaudeville specialties
interpolated by members of the com
pany.
