THE SWEDES FOREST MAN.
Peter Swenson Thinks Texas is All
Right Without Whisky.

The mention of Peter Swenson as.
the original inhabitant of Swedes
Forest, in Mr.. Hotchkiss's article
last week, makes specially timely
some extracts from a private letter
written by him last fall to w. P.
Tenney of this city:
Texas is and has been very pro-
gressive for years past. Immigra-
ton is pouring into the state by
wagon and train loads from the
more northern states. Millions of
acres here believed to be worthless,
were only waiting for willing hands
to convert them into fertile farms
and pleasant homes. Wheat, oats,
corn and cotton yield bounteously,
and today there is practically no
land to be had from the state. Land
values have rapidly advanced and
some tracts are selling at almost
prohibitory prices. Railroad build
ing is the order of the day in west
ern Texas.
"Our people are moral, congenial,
generous and big hearted, but like
some others, are after the dollar on
which it says, In God we Trust"
In more than two-thirdS of the
counties of this state the people
have by popular vote forbidden the
sale Of intoxicants, so that there is
not now a saloon to be found in
hardly any of them. In this section
of the state drunkenness is almost
wholly unheard of. Our county has
had local option enforced since 1896,
and during all this time we have
had only one homicide in the county,
and only seven men sent to the
penitentiary. Our Jail has not had
an occupant for an average of three
months in a year. This is according
to the records.
Labor is scarce here and wages
high. Farmers find difficulty in saw
ing their crops on that account.
Crops were good last fall. but most
of the wheat was damaged in shock
by too much rain. Corn and cotton
crops were good, but help to gather
it was scarce.
Il believe | wrote you that have
a ranch consisting of 1850 acres, di-
vided into eight different pastures,
and three good-sized farms. Land
here, as in other places, is selling
very high, but mine is not for sale,
as | have it stocked with a good
grade of horses and cattle.
How are all the old settlers up
there getting along? What about
Olop PETERSON, the Tibbettses, An
dersons, McLeans, McCorquodales,
Hans Bake, Cole and many others?
What is land selling at in Swedes
Forest now? If it was not so far off
| would make you a. visit next
spring. | wish you would write me

Falls and Redwood county,

The Baltimore and Ohio Railroad
Company has given the people em-
pioyed by that company a substantial
raise in wages. The committee OF
the B. R, 7. returned last night
from Baltimore and were able to
bring back this news with them. The
raise on the N. R. division and on
the. West Virginia and Pittsburg d.
vision is ten per cent. Along with
the raise the length OF the working
day has been reduced two hours.
The day is now ten hours instead OF
twelve hours, as heretofore, except
on passenger trains. which is still
twelve hours.
This will make big difference
for the men in making overtime, The
overtime now win start two hours
earlier than formerly. The men are
glad of the raise and express them
selves as generally satisfied.
On the Redwood division an in
crease of twenty cents on both local
and through trains has been given
the brakemen.

CHARLESTON, Feb. To-day ali
the county officials and Others who
are interested in the bill which pro-
poses to cut out the fees and pay
officials q straight salary IN the
future. had an opportunity to De
heard before the house committee on
the judiciary. which mas the bill
which was introduced In the house
some days ago.
There is an immense crowd here.
The bill. an exact counterpart OF
which Xas also introduced In the
senate has stirred up lot OF feeling
among the county oinclals In ali
parts Of the State. They are In the
fight to finish. One argument
against the passage Of the bills is
that the salaries proposed are so
small no one win have the ofices.
and that 1t will be hard matter to
get good. competent men to do the
work. This bill will probably cause
more fun when 1t comes out Of the
committee. which will be shortly af-
ter the public hearing. and it will
probably be reported with the recom-
mendation that 1t do pass.
