hnute Nelson Reelected for
... Third Term.

Knute Nelson was reelected q. S.
senator for the third term by the
Minnesota legislature on Tuesday
this week, receiving l43 votes out OF
It's cast. He received the votes of
all the republican members except
SIX, who were absent, and to offset
those four democrats voted for him.
The democrats voted for Senator Al.
bert Schaller, who received 27 votes,
MI. Schaller himself voted for
Frank A. Day The prohibitionists
voted for W. j. Dean, who received
three votes. The only populist
member of the legislature, senator
Sageng, of Otter Tail County said
his party was the only unanimous
party and he cast the unanimous
vote of that party for Governor John
A. Johnson.
Senator Nelson has had a remark
able POLITICAL record and he mast be
considered today one of our ablest
and cleanest of public men. AS SEN
ator, his name has been associated
with many constructive measures.
including the bankruptcy law, the
establishment of the department of
commerce and labor, the free home
stead bill and many others. He is a
man of sound judgement and wise
craftsmanship and his counsel is
sought and listened to with atten-
tion. Senator Bevridge refers to
him as the nearest approach to the
"ideal SENATOR" Minnesota has
honored herself by re-electing him to
third term. With a large number
of new men in the senate, Mr.. Nelson
will command still greater influence
than he has had in the past, and we
are sure he will use it Tor the good
of the state and the nation.

WRITES FROM IOWA
W. Il. ingalls, Writes an Entertain.
ing Letter to the Readers
of the Sheaf.

Woodward, Ia, Jan. Is, 'O7.-Edi@
tor Sheaf: You will see by The date.
OF this that I am far from home. E
left home on Jan. 4, at p. m., with
the mail carrier for Newfolden to-
board one of those splendid cars on
the 500 line for St. Paul. Cars were
nearly two hours late, and we arriv-
ed at st. Paul on the 5th three hours
late, and too late for all trains leav ~
ing in the morning. We were there
fore obliged to wait until 4 p. M,
when we took a train on the Chica-
go, Milwaukee & St. Paul railway
tor Minneiska, Minn., 80 miles down
the Mississippi river, to visit our
two sisters, who live in that town.
We visited with them for one week
and then went back to St. Paul and
boarded train on the Chicago &
Great Western for Des Moines, Iowa
and then a car on the Interurban
railroad to Woodward, 27 miles
northwest from Des Moines, where
we have son and his family living.
He is the owner and editor of the
Enterprise, a weekly paper published
here. We have also daughter and
her family living here, and another
daughter, Mrs. N. P. Martin, who
lives at Ashby, Minn., and who has
been sick II months, came down
here some three months ago for her
health. She has improved so she
returned to her home a few days
since. Well, we found all our folks
as we'll as usual. -, .
We see many different ways Of
farming here that we do not see at
home. We have seen team after
team come into town to day loaded
with corn. 1t is worth 80 cents a
bushel. We went to see corn
shelter at work. 1t shelled corn as
fast as two men could shovel it in
with scoop shovels, and elevated the
shelled corn into one wagon and the
cobs into another. Can shell 1000
bushels per day. Out of the window
where write can see another corn
shelter at work she]ling corn and
elevating it up into an Interurhan
car. There is a creamery here. 1t
makes from 1400 to 1900 pounds of
butter in the best of the season, but
is now making only about half as
much. Butter is worth 80 cents,
country stock q cents.
The thermometer was 27 above
this moring and has not been down
to zero since I came here. There is
just enough snow on the ground to
make it white. W. II. Ingalls,.

Cass Lake, Bemidji, Crookston and

the new normal school. There is
most likely to be some tall hustling
for the location of the new institu-
tion, and probably some hard feeling
will be caused between these towns

to avoid all scrapping we suggest
that Hallock be selected as the loca-

SUPPLY TRAIN TO
FOLLOW ROTARY
The 500 Road pays Big Premium
For a Snow Fighting
Machine.

Bidding against the Great Western
railroad of England, E. Pennington,
vice president and general manager
of the 500 line put up such stiff
premium for a snowplow that his
competitor was backed clear off the
boards.
The plow is now being hurried to
the northwest with all possible dis
patch, and will do it's hrst work in
opening up the Kenmare line of the
500.
The story of the purchase is one of
the most stirring incidents of the
Great Blockade. For many days
one-third Of the Kenmare line, from
Adams to Overly, has been blocked
with snow. All the other roads
operating in the northwest have
been struggling against the same
handicap of huge, shifting drifts,
and plows-especially the big rotaries
have been working overtime.
The 500 believed it had sufficient
equipment of snow-fighting appara-
tus, but when the present emergency
arose, the necessity of another
rotary became painfully apparent.
There was only one lone machine of
the sort available.
1t had been completed"' at the shops
of the American Locomotive company
at Paterson, N. j., and it was the
understanding that it was to go to
the big English railway. Several
American roads had learned that the
machine was ready and were already
trying to secure it,. when Mr.. Penn
ington came into the field as a bid
der.
From the first he made up his
MIND that rotary was coming to the
500 and he was prepared to spend
money like water to insure the more
speedy opening s.of his road. The
bidders for the plow began to offer
premiums and the competition:
assumed the aspect of a poker game
with everybody standing pat. The
Great Northern was among the bid
ders, but when the general manager
of the 500 boosted the price he was
willing to pay to a figure a plump
81, 900 above the actual price of the
plow, the others pulled out and the
500 had won.
Arrangements we're made at once
with K. D. Underwood Of the Erie
to rush the rotary westward in
emergency time. 1t started on it's
journey on Jan. Is. The Erie is to
deliver it to the Milwaukee, and
General Manager W. J. Underwood
promises to push it along as fast as
if it were a presidents special.
When the big plow reaches the 500
it will be hurried out to it's work of
eating up the huge drifts on the
Kenmare line. In it's wake will go
special trains bearing fuel and provi-
sions in sufficient quantities to
relieve for the remainder of the win
ter any apprehensions of the resi-
dents in that part of the state.
All this will be done on an emer-
gency basis with every effort devoted
to speed. 1t costs money, but the
territory served by the Kenmare line
is newly opened up and the settlers
there have not had time to accumu-
late stores to carry then thru a long
period of blockade. Mr.. Pennington
appreciates this fact, which in large
measure explains the premium he
paid for the rotary.

Letter from Rev. Lundeu,

DoAAAH6AdlA, w oSI1., OcC. ~, 'OO.
Editor Sheaf:-As so many asked me
to write and let them know how we
like it here, that it is impossible for
me to find time to write to each one,
I will ask the Sheaf for a few words
in it's columns.
Will first say that we reached our
destination safe and sound. Our
journey was tiresome, however. 1t
took week instead of two days, but
it was not due to any fault of the
railway company. l think it did
what could be done, but as unusually
high water blocked both the Great
Northern aud Northern Pacific be-
tween Spokane and Seattle, we had
to 60 on the O. R. N. road to Port
land, and back to Seattle. From
Portland to Seattle we went partly
by rail and partly by boat. To travel
with two months old baby under
such circumstances is not desirable,
but in as much as we came through
without any harm to any Of US, we
cannot but be thankful to our Father
in heaven, who SO faithfully shields
US with his mighty arm.
So far there has been no cold
weather to speak of and no snow.
We can see the snow in the noun
tains not very far off, but here the
lawns are green as in summer.
Everything seems to be prospering
out here. There is plenty of work,
in fact more work than hands to do
the work. The Great Northern
railway company brought in hun
dred negroes from the south last week
to work on the road, because they
say it is impossible to find white
men enough. And right here in
Bellingham wood is scarce although
the timber stands in the outskirts of
the city. I spoke with a wood dealer
lately. He said: "We used to have
ten men cutting wood but now we
have only two, and we can't get the
others. The wages for common labor
is two dollars per day, and up as high
as five, I have been informed"
We are we'll pleased with our new
home and locality. Bellingham has
beautiful location, confronted by
Bellingham bay, and mountains in
the rear.
Our field of work is new and conse-
quently hard to work, but we hope by
the grace OF God to see even that
changed. We are here to bring the
goods news about our beloved Savior
to our fellow men, and our prayer
and hope to God is that many will
listen to the message, and turn from
the ways Of evil to the path of life.
To the editor and all friends we
send our regards and best wishes for
a happy New Year, and may we all
meet at last at the pearly gates of
heaven.
If you get tired rubbing your nose
and ears, come out here where you
can enjoy yourself by taking a walk
without an overcoat in the 'Juletld. >
Yours truly,
Rev. O. j. Lundell.

G0LD FARMING
 AT SKAGWAY
INTERESTING PROPOSITION OF A PROS.
 HECTOR

Walter Shaw of this city believes that skagway is the p;oper place for the manufacture of a compromise imple- menJ between the great dredge of mod. ern gold mining and the Long Tom of the old timers. He has plans of the in- sCrument and believes che manufacture could first be Gu need here, then man ufactured and brought into effective performance within the radius.of the country tributary to Skagway. He is very confden. of the existence of vast possibilities in the enterprise. He has had lot of practical experience ln the line of experimenting with the dredg- CT and also in prospecting the territory of which he speaks, having made trip over the Hootalinqua and other streams for the British Dredging Syndicate. Speaking of what could be done in these vast fields, he calls 1t "gold farm ing."
 'This may seem a queer term, a strsnge combination of ideas" he says, tut, nevertheless. il will be true. For the land is there bearing rich crop of the yellow metal; many, many acres, yes, many miles of 1t. Some one will be after t, why not skagway?
 "Eow and where you ask 1? To the bars anl beds of the upper Yukon and It's tributaries All have heard more or less of them. Many have seen evir dences and admit their splendid values. But few have given any time to the problem of picking up this vast native treasure at our very doors. To those who will do so, unfolds possibilities stimulating indeed to the progressive gold seeker. A splendid two-fold ln- dustry here awaits Skagway in the making of the Gold Harvester; quite within her possibilities, and in the treasures of gold and platinum brought back from the field so extensive and uear at hand"

The funeral Of the late Mrs. Thomas Kearns was perform, d at the Catholic church this morning at nine o'clock. and the little ediRcs was filled with sor- rowing friends, Appropriate mass was said by the Rev. Father Bougis, follow ing which most tou hing, tender and beautiful tribute to the life of the young wife whose body lay before him was pronounced.

The cer- emony at that time was one of the most , bI autiiul and impressive ever perform ed by him, all the ceremonies of the church being evoked to stamp it with the solemni:y due. And now this young wife lay here a martyr to that duty then assumed. She had given her lifs for that of her child. None could show greater love.
