The Chicago Federation of Labor
at a recent meeting declared against
the all night saloon and the dance
hall and in favor of the home as IT, e
best club for the workingman. That
is a very sensible opinion, and one,
which thinking men have held for
years. If the laboring men spent
more time in their homes and less
in the saloons, they would be happier
and much better off. That the saloon
is the ''poor mans club house" is a
misleading and pernicoius bit OF
sentimentalism. 1t is gratifying tC
note that the workinggr en-, both
union and ncn-union, recognize that
the saloon is their worst enemy AND
the home their best friend.

A Pointer for Land Owner

The Great Northern Railway Com
pafly has issued statement showing
the elevation of different points in
this vicinity which is one of the
most valuable Things we have seen
for long time. We print just a few
that have a particulac interest for
us here:
Thief River Falls, 1l35
Strip, 1885
CrOOkStOn, 81
Warren. S5S
Grand Forks, S35
1t will be seen from these figures
that there is a fall of 400 feet from
the ridge fifteen miles east of here
to the Red River twenty miles west
Of us, or an average of over ten feet
to the mile. Of course the greater
part OF this fall is in the first fifteen
miles, and by the way, that very
fact is what makes it necessary that
numerous waterways be opened from
here to the river. In the. old days
when all the settlements were west
OF us the snow water and heavy rain
floods would have to seep along
through tangled grass and by wind.
ing swales until they reached some
coulee or creek. In the meantime
the water had disappeared from the
settlements by way of road dit
ches and dead furroWs. AS the
settlements grew eastwards roads
were opened and plowed fields took
the place Of grass choked prairies
and the waters would come sweeping
down the incline, gathering volume
at every mile until the outlets provid-
ed could no longer take care of it.
When the necessary outlet has been
provided there will be no trouble
from this condition Of things.
Another notable item is that the
above figures show that there is nc
such thing as irreclaimable land in
the territory surrounding Warren.
BY reason of the great fall it is only
a matter Of a little time when the
surface water can. be controlled on
every foot Of this region. Quarters
that are low priced now will have a
great rise in value when some enter
prising speculatorl opens a few ploW
furroWs from the sWales to the near
est line ditch.

Minnesota has three great sources
of wealth, her mines, her forests and
her soil. OF these three the soil is
the most valuable and lasting. When
the ore has been taken from the
mine it can never be restored. An
ugly gap in the face of the earth is
all that shows the place where the
riches once were. When the forests
are destroyed and their destruction
these days is rapid, they are not east
ly replaced, and in most cases never
will be. But with the soil it is
different. Every recurring season,
even with very careless farming, it
stands ready to grow new crop 1t
is a source of wealth that never gives
out, but rather improves with intelli-
gent use.

Sheep Run into Money.

A couple Of weeks ago the Sheaf
noted the shipment of sheep by the
Oak Field farm and the March Farm
| Company to st. Paul. The Oak Field
Farm shipped 200 head of sheep
and the March Farm shipped 342
head Mr. March informs us that
their returns on the shipment of 342
head, comprising lambs, ewes. and
wethers, was $l6S6. II, net. The
average cost of freight, yardage,
commission, and other expenses was
about so cents per head. The lambs
weighed on an average 90 pounds
each and brought from Sc. IS to S6. so
per hundred. The ewes sold for S.. 90
per hundred and the wethers for
$5. 50. The freight could nave been
reduced by using a double deck car,
but to avoid loss of sheep in transit
they shipped in cars without any
decks which materially increased, the
freightage per head. l&
Last year the March farm sheared
about 1000 head of sheep getting
nearly 1000 poundsssof, wool which sold
for p cents. per pound. They have
on hand now about 1000 breeding
ewes and 300 yearling lambs --and
they expect that the ""price of wool
will be pretty nearly as good as last
year. s
The figures from the Oak Field
Farm would have been stated too,
only Mr.. Spaulding is SO much away
from home that we have not been
able to catch him long enough tos5get
full statement. Their returns from
their sheep and wool has been about
the same as those of the March
Farm, however, allowing for the
difference in numbers. Mr. Spauld-
ing says he has about 600 breeding
ewes in his flock and he also has an
other carload OF sheep to be shipped
to market yet tnis spring.

Of this state were freed from state
board examinations and were place d
on d wholly independent and self

wonderfully generous financial aid to

superior educational system, should

Commissioners JensOn will Re.

Chairman Jensen, CT the board of
county commissioners, was in the
city this week and in the course Of a
conversation he stated that having
sold his property at Germantown and
expecting to take up his residence in
Thief River Falls, he would not CON
tinue to hold the Office longer than
was necessary to close up whatever
county business was at present under
his hands.
Regular meetings of the board will
be held March 80, and April 3. and
on the latter date he will hand in his
resignation to take effect on May /.
His being chairman of the board
makes it necessary that this length
of time be taken, as he has to- sign
the bills passed at the coming meet
ings, which cannot be done until 80
days have passed.
The vacancy caused by his resigna-
tion will have to be filled by chair
man of the boards OF supervisors of
the various towns comprising the
fifth commissioner district. These
towns are Excel, Adger, Grand Plain,
Moylan, Esplee, Holt, Eckvoll, Val
ley, Cedar, ROLLS, Veldt, Como,
Thief Lake, Moose River and East
Valley.
The county auditor will notify the
chairman of these towns when they
shall meet at his office here in War
rem to choose a successor to Mr.. Jen-
sen. The district is a large and i'm
portant one and it is necessary that
an able man be chosen to take the
place of Mr.. Jensen, who has been
an efficient officer. --..-

Information about it before appoint

81 am pleased beyond measure
that at last we are IN a way 10 have
a system OF parks, or even one park
in Padueah," he said today. 81 have
been wanting them for years, as you
we'll knowl and shall enter with en-.
thusiasm into the work of getting
them now that we have something to
work on and with. | am very anx.
ious to select good men for the
board, and have been giving that de-
tail considerable thought appreciat-
ing in due measure what II means.
have been fortunate in selecting
all of my other boards, and hope
this one will be the same
The mayor rs thinking of putting
a woman ON the board, but has no.
definitely decided on that point. He
is asking his friends what they think
of the idea. He is in favor of ii.
Whether a tax for the parks will
be levied this year or not, is ques
ton. Under the provisions of the
bTll, the council shall, not may. levy
a tax not to exceed five cents ON the
500 for the park fund and 1T ds to
be deposited with the city treasurer
subject to the commissioners drafts.
But whether the tax is levied or not.
the new council will take steps to get
q site for one park at least, as men,
bers of the boards have had II in
mind and say they have provided
something for that purpose in the
contingent fund.
The law WIN go into effect as Soon
as approved by the governor, which
II is thought will be in a few days.
The commission is to consist of five
members who shall serve one, two.
three, four and five years without
compensation.
They will have charge of all the
parks, the shade trees on the street,
the flowers and fountains and walks
OF the c5ty.
The council shall submit to the
voters the question of issuing bonds
for parks at the November elections.
and it requires two-thirds of those
voting to affirm it,
81 am hearing from the knockers
on this proposition as you can sur
mise" the mayor said today, ''but
| am heart and soul for the parks.
We must make Paducah place to
