road would run to Onamia or Pierz
this fall Let these parties set their
minds at rest The fact that the con.
tractors received orders to push work
ard that a few miles of rails have
been laid out at the west end Of the
line does not complete the road. We are
informed by good authority that Foley
Bros. have made an agreement with
the 500 to complete the road and
have same in RAINING order inside of
two years from the time the first WORK
was commenced, or before if possible.
The head men, engineers, surveyors,
etc., who are the overseers of the
work. krow just how much can be
done from time to time and when a
contractor is behind this estimate
on account Of scarcity Of labor or un-
favorable weather, he is urged on to
keep in Lire, bnt not to finish the
employ ing all the labor they can get.
They have raised wages to keep the
men they have got and induce others
to come. Remember the larger the
crews Of men they can get with
favorable weather, the sooner the 500
line will bs completed. Put your
minds to rest as to all rumors to the
contrary.
Frank Otremba, who lives three
miles south of Pierz on the Buchanan
road is another farmer whose grain
was badly damaged by the hailEtorm
that passed over here about i've
weeks ago. He will not get half of
his grain.
Chas. O. Hauer OF Csss Lake is
here visiting with his aunt, Mrs.
Bolster and other relatives. He il a
SOD of Charley Hauer, who some
years ago sold his farm to Adam
Tembreul and moved to Cass Lake.
B. B Fullerton, better known as
.Old Uncle Ben. who represents
Hirchman & 20. liquor house Of St.
Paul, visited here in the interest of
that firm last week.
Parties looking for work come to
Pierz. The contractors on the 500
want all the help they can get at good
wages.
John N. and Frank Rauch threshed
over 500 bushels of oats for farmers
by the load last week. The loads
yielded from % to 40 bushels. They
also threshed several loads of wheat
that averaged from Is to IL bushels to
The load. How much this would make
to an acre they could not say. The
wheat was fairly good but oats might
nave been much better. ::1hey started
heir fall threshing ct Jos. Otremba's
place, near Platte river in the town of
4 gram, the latter part of last week.
Robert Gruber tells Us that the
train on his three farms in Pierz,

There were hunting
parties from Little Falls, Roy alton,
Rices, Sank Rapids. st. Cloud, st.
Paul and Minneapolis and other
places. Many had complete camping
outfits and intended to stay a week
or longer, but when they found out
there were more hunter than chickens
they departed sooner, many without
unless they bought them
from moe successful hunters. Mon.
day all outsiders were gone. Our
home nim1ods say they are well eatis-
fed with the amount of game they
bagged. They knew where chickens
were to be found ana 1t seems as

gust states that the yield Of grain is
fairly good, but at the same tine we
must rot forget that there will be a
shortage Of small grain in our coun-
try. This is the case in Europe,
South America and other grain gov.
ing foreign countries, therefore our
farmers shoQld get better prices for
their grain. If they do not get them
the lti.millionaire grain dealers
will and the public will have to pay.
We have fair harvest bat get 70
equivalent for it. We advise the
farmers again to hold their grain
until they get fair price for the
same. Immediately after harvest the
wheat price is generally held low by
the buyers. Don't sell until you get a
fair price. Wheat must 90 up. the
further the year advances, 50 says the
