Mayor Lines was reelected mayor
of Redwood Falls by four votes on
an issue that was calculated to draw
the sharpest lines. Many thought
he had nothing to brag of. Up in
Granite Falls, where the only issue
was man against man, Ole O. Lende
was elected mayor by only two ma
jority, carrying his side of the river
by AZ majority, while O. G. Fost-
vedt, the present incumbent, who
went on by petition against his
wishes, carried his side of the river
by 40 majority.
Horace Greeley Hays, who went
from Sleepy Eye to Bemidji and
there started the Sentinel, has sold
out the paper to Col. A. B. Allen, a
former publisher of the Morton En-
terprise, and the Colonel has already
got back into the harness. Horace
is secretary of the drainage league
and is likely to be down in Washing
ton this winter telling the chin
whiskered gentry of the two branches
of the national legislature just how
much money they ought to appro-
pirate for draining lands in Mime
sofa, and running the water over
into other states for irrigation
purposes. Horace isn't afraid to
tell them, yousbet.
Our sister city, Marshall, situated
up on the banks near the source of
the Redwood, where the water ceas-
es to run during certain seasons of
the year, is having her license
troubles. Not as the result of an
election, but owing to the fact that
a couple of saloons got to doing
business off in what was imaginarily
supposed to be prohibition district.
Two aldermen got mad and refused
to vote for license for any of the
applicants unless the two dealers
moved back on to the Main street,
and unless the matter was patched
up recently the town is going dry,
with pigs" on the side. Three of
the leading ministers Of the town
insisted on the two out-of-the-way
saloons getting into line.
William Russell, state Inspector of
apiaries, has made his first annual
report to the governor. The office
was created by the last legislature
and the law did not go into effect
until Aug. l. He reports that he
inspecteda67 apiaries, or 1886 colo
MES. Among these he found II
apiaries and 331 colonies diseased
and 2,035 colonies healthy. Of the
diseased colonies IL were destroyed,
20 cured and lat re-examined. "On
accountEof the lateness of the season
when the work was begun" the re-
port says, the work was to a great
extent preparatory, as on account Of
the robber bees, which carried from
one hive toIanother, the hives which
had been exposed to contagion and
not shown signs of disease could not
be singled out. The yards in which
the disease is known to be present
and those that have been exposed to
infection are all marked for treat
ment in 1906. The colonies destroyed
were all in the last stage of brood
and no other treatment was possible
under the circumstances. Most of
the owners gave all the assistance
they could towards stamping out the
disease. but at one apiary of forty
colonies, many in the last stages of
disease, the owners refused to have
them treated or to give the names
or addresses Of parties to whom the
diseased bees were being Sold"
