on that day the first lot of rectified
stuff was ready to be bottled. This
stuff would cost II cents per half
pint and would be sold for 25 cents,
taking the place Of the cheap case
goods for which the dispensary had
been paying Is cents and selling for
rs cents. The case goods referred to
previously, he said, had been bought
by the board after the rectifying
plant had been ordered. After Jan.
9, on complaint Of Tatum, all orders
were held up by telegram.
w. N. Floyd, r. w. Nichols, in
spectors, were examined and corrob-
GRATED the letters read from county
dispensers. They said that the de-
mand for X corn, gin and rye was
not filled.
Director Wylie.
Director Joseph b. Wylic was the
next witness. He said that he did
not understand that the stock must
be kept within 100000 but each
three months all over 100000 must
be paid into the school fund. He
did not remember the letters to Ia
tum from the county dispensers. He
remembered Tatum's protest in No.
vember. If any December purchases
containing Objectionable goods had
come in, he doesn't know it. He did
not remember the clark order in De-
cembcr. They bought 800 eases of
apricot brandy from Lehman which
is the same as Clark but the order
was later countcrmanded. Didn't re-
member the 100000 Purchase from
Clark but Mr.. Wylie stated that Mr..
Black had said to him that he (Black)
knew where they could get the goods
which they had been unable to get
elsewhere and he told Black to go
ahead and buy the goods. lie said
that they did not buy y corn and \
rye because houses from which they
had ordered did not ship the goods.
Chairman Rawlinson.
Director J. NJ. Rawlinson was also
examined. lie made much the same
statement about the Clark purchase
as Mr.. Wylic. lie was asked about
purchase from Webbs' Sons of
Baltimore of NN rye at $1.40 and
purchase from Clark Bros, Peoria,
ILL.,, at SLIGO. The purchase from
Clark amounted to $9S,0Q0 and there
was an order for Lehman amounting
to $l2, 900. Mr.. Black said he knew
where he could get these goods which
they had been unable to get. He
knew nothing Of trip to Peoria
which Mr.. Black was said to have
taken. lie stated in reply to qucs-
tions that il was the rule for two

Notes from the National CAPITAL.


Washington, Jan. 31-In accord
ance with the usual custom of the
Agricultural Department, no crop
report will be issued for the month
of February, and consequently cor
respondents of the department will
not be supplied crop schedules re-
turnable the first of that month.
Within the past two weeks quite n
boom for Judge George Gray, of Dele
ware, for the Democratic nomination
for the presidency has been started
among Southern Democratic Senators
and Representatives. Judge Gray
represented the state of Delaware in
the United States Senate for q num-
Der of years, being member of that
body during the memorable fight
against the Republican force bill, and
it was largely due to his efforts that
the iniquitous measure was defeated
and the white people of the south
saved from negro domination. Many
leading Democrats think Judge Gray
would make an ideal candidate, espe-
cially so that tariff reform is to be
the paramount plank in the next
Democratic platform.
While Southern senators and rep
rcsentatives in congress, with but one
or two exceptions, heartily approve
the course Of President Roosevelt in
diSmisSing the negro troops engaged
i'll the murdereus attack on the citiz-
ems of Brownsville, Texas, they just
as heartily disapprove his efforts to
force upon the country centralized
government that would convert the
republic practically into a monarchy.
Southern senators and representa-
tives believe in the doctrine of states
rights, and will resist to the end the
efforts of President Roosevelt to
place all power in the hands Of the
Federal Government.
The outlook is very promising for
the passage Of a bill providing for
the payment for large number of
southern war claims, some Of which
Have been pending in congress for
thirty years. The passage Of such a
bill would mean much to the south,
as some three or four million dollars
would be turned in that direction, as
a result. James S. Mccarthy.

MORE DIFFICULT TO GET
GOVERNMENT LAND NOW
Fourteen Months Actual Residence
Now Required Before Claim Can
Be COMMITTED.

The government is drawing the
lines tighter around the citizens who
wish to acquire land by filling on
claims.
After next November, a citizen
wishing to acquire title to claim
must show that he has been an actual
resident upon it for period of IA
months from the date of entry. It
has been the custom in the past for
many wishing to gain a homestead
in this way to file on a claim, con-
struct shack, abandon it and re-
turn just before the first six months
were up and then live there the re-
naming eight months, when title to
the property would be granted. From
now on they must show actual resi-
dence made in good faith and culti-
vate the land for the full period of
4 months.
Where such a Communication proof
is offered under an entry made prior
to November 1, 1907, if it be salts
factorily shown that the entryman
had in good faith established actual
residence on the land within six
months from the date of entry, he
may be credited with a constructive
residence from the date of his first
entry, provided, that it also be
shown that such residence was
maintained for such period as when
added to the period of constructive
residence equals the full period of ID
months, as required by the home.

looking up the particulars surround

to ascertain whether or not this man
was his brother, Arthur Chambers,
whom he had not seen for some time
but who was supposed to be in the
vicinity of Bemidji. The description
of the two men tailed exactly but

can be realized. In comparison
therefore with any of these farm
products from which the income is
received the receipts from the COWS
carry great advantage.
The advantages of dairy farming
are manifest in every neighborhood
and on every farm where it is
leading business. The farmer
always has some ready money. His
buildings are kept in good condition
the year thru. His bills are kept
paid up and his credit is good. All
this is possible for the reason that he
always has money coming in surely
and regularly from his dairy.
There is no other line of farm
business that is so sure and so reli-
able, year after year, as a we'll man.
aged herd of COWS. This fact is
stamped on every farm where the
business is carried on.
In speaking of the favorable open
ing held out to the farmer through
the dairy business the New York
Produce Review in a recent issue
gives it the following endorsement:
I'VE do not know any industry
that offers a we'll trained young man,
or an older man, better immediate
returns for his labor and brighter
future, than is offered today by the
dairy industry. This IS an endorse
ment that any farmer may accept
with confidence. 1t is borne out in
the success of dairymen in our own
midst.-Maine Farmer.

DAIRY FARMING SOURCE
OF A CONSTANT INCOME
Brings Immediate Returns And Not Only Pays Better,
But Has Many Other Advantages -..Just the Thing
For NorthCountry Farmers.

A great advantage in dairy farm
ing is the fact that sure and con-
stant income can be relied upon. It
is an important matter in farming,
as in other business, to be able to
rely with certainty on a regular
income. Though in its business
there may be variations from differ
ent causes of just what the income
may be, yet with the COWS it is sure
to be something, every month.
Milk, cream, butter or cheese are
cash products whenever or wherever
sold. Consumers are always in want
of these products and always will be,
so there is always ready market
that never can fail. The dairy
farmer can count on all this with a
certainty that can never fail him.
Another feature of great import
ance is that the returns from the
products of the COW are not only
certain to be realized, but they come
often. She furnished her milk today
and whatever the form it is turned
into, in a months time the cash is
returned for it.
This to a man of limited means is
a great advantage. In the produc-
ton of crops for sale the returns
come in but once a year for the rea-
son that the land produces but single
crop each year. In the growing of
stock no money is returned till the
stock is sold. In the production of
fruit the trees, must first be grown
and then but single crop a year

Minnesota came in for some good

good fruit for northern Minnesota" ."
J. ]. Opsahl has received the fol
lowing letter from Commissioner
Welsh, concerning the trip to
st. Paul, Oct. p.
Mr.. J. J. Opsahl, Bemidji, MINI.
Dear Sir:-I have just returned
from Oklahoma City where I ex-
hibited the products from northern
Minnesota, and l want to say that
this little exhibit caused more COM
ment and attraction than anything
else that l saw while there.
The erroneous ideas of our east
ern people relative to northern Min
nesota can hardly be conceived of by
the human mind. They considered
it wilderness of rocks and icebergs,
and the exhibition which I had with
me has done wonders to change the
opinions of men who believed me
that they were from northern Min
nesOta.
| write you to give you the bene-
fit of what l found, and what you
will be confronted with in the adver-
tising of northern Minnesota. If
the people could be convinced of
the possibilities of the northern
counties of this state, l am satisfied
we would have no trouble in settling
it.

ASTONISHED AT SHOWING
OF NORTHERN MINNESOTA
Secretary of State Schmah and immigration Commits.
soner Welsh Boosted the North Country While
Attending Farmers Convention at Oklahoma.

St. Paul, Oct. 5S.-Julius Schmahl,
secretary of state, and George
Welsh, state immigra ton commits
sioner, returned yesterday from
Oklahoma City, where they attended
the national convention of the far
merS.
"There were some 1000 dele
gates in attendance,' said Mr..
Schmahl. 1T was a sorry time
for Oklahoma, however, because
draught has killed most of their
local crop this season. There were
sorts of excuses made, but that is
the truth of it.
I think it can be safely said that
Minnesota made the biggest showing
Of any state represented there. We
managed to distribute 5000 copies
of our booklet advertising the advan-
tages of northern Minnesota for
new settlers lands, fine soil,
and great crops. We proved the
great crop claim by exhibiting the
display of Clearwater county at
that County'S recent county fair. 1t
opened the eyes of most of the
people there. In fact, Mr. Welsh
was told to his face by one man
that the productiveness displayed
never came from northern Minne-
sofa. Mr.. Welsh stood up for his
rights; pressed the point that he
was not real estate dealer; simply
there to show up the resources OF
the state, and was employed by the
state for this purpose. The major
ity took stock in what he said and
