The affair has been a sad one
from the start and the anxiety of
his family and friends has been
great. His discovery has taken a

WIILMAR MARKETS AGAIN.

ne Raymond news Te-puDllSneS
the letter from Mr.. j. G. Freeberg
which appeared in our last issue
and adds a column Of abuse in
which the editor of the Tribune is
said to be "yelping like hungry
coyote at Raymond a ''prevarica-
tor of the rankest kind" and
''pours out constant gusts Of envi-
Gus wrath and hog wash.
Why, bless your heart, Mr.. News
Editor, we have said nothing to
warrant such language. You at
tackled the Willmar market, saying
that on a certain day Raymond
price for barley Of 81 cents was
four cents higher than that paid
at Willmar. We investigated the
matter and found that no less than
seven farmers had received 81 cents
for barley on that same day at Will
mar. Mr., Freeberg's letter does
not dlsprove this statement. We
have no quarrel with Mr.. Freeberg,
and were glad to print his letter,
giving full credence to his state
ment as to the condition of his
grain. The judgment of one buyer
on the amount Of wild oats in a
load of barley might easily vary
from that Of another. We know
an instance where a man bettered
himself four cents bushel by simp-
ly submitting samples Of barley to
several elevators here at Willmar.
And then shrewd buyers at COM
peting points sometimes favor peo-
pie who usually market grain at
other points. especially if they are
active and influential in their COM
munities. So a man from Rose
land two weeks ago claimed he got
3 cents more here and less dock
age than was given him on points
on the Milwaukee. We did not at
tack the Raymond market. We
simply said it was no better than
that of neighboring points and We
do not believe that it is.
Mr.. C.. R. Johnson's wrath at the
Tribune is as difficult to understand
as his attempt to mix in the saloon
question is ridiculous. Mr.. John
son should practice little self-re-
straint and learn to state his views
without charging unfairness and
partially to others.
