From the fact that shipments of

less than the average for like periods

that the nose of the foreigner was

They Had Some Weather Forty Years Ago.
From the "Forty Years Ago" COL
umn of the St. Paul Dispatch we learn
that the old-timers had a taste of un-
seasonable weather occasionally as
the following paragraphs, written May
Is, 1867, would indicates:
While conversing regarding the
present late, cold and extremely wet
spring, an old settler who has been in
this region for over thirty years states
positively, from his own knowledge
and observation, that every ten years
we have had a cold, wet and back
ward spring like this one. He says it
was so in 1887, At and 81. AS far
as the latter year is concerned our
own memory confirms the statement.
If it rains tomorrow it will make the
seventh wet Sunday in succession.
On account of the extremely late
spring, caused by cold weather and
continuous rains the Eastern press is
spreading broadcast exaggerated &C
counts of the restitution threatening
our state. So far from being too late
to plant crops, it is not late enough
yet to plant a single crop scarcely,
except wheat, and even this is better
planted now than three or four weeks
ago: Wheat is planted as late as the
first week in June in Minnesota and
some seasons has turned out better
than when planted early. We never
heard of corn being planted earlier
than the 10th of May, and from that
on to the LIST of June, and we have
known it planted as late as July 4,
and with late fall, the crop paid, al
though it had not time to fully hard
en-. And there is still plenty of time
for potatoes, oats, barley and most
other crops.

Reputable newspapers contain fam
ing half-page and full-page advertise
ments Of an !" Electric Double Track
High Speed Railroad,' between the
Twin Cities and the head of the lakes,
$40 be Built, Owned and Operated
by the People," in which the promot-
ers offer stock for sale at 500 per
share of S100l Here is an extract
from one of the catchy advertisements
of this pretentious company that
maintains expensive suites of rooms
in St. Paul, Minneapolis, Duluth,
Superior and Saltwater:
WHY THIS ROAD SHOULD BE BUILT
BY THE PEOPLE.
The old steam railroads, loaded
down with debt, waterlogged with
over capitalization, and worn to the
bone by their fearful struggle to pay
dividends on securities with false val
ues, are largely controlled by Wall
Street, and the men back of these
roads are in no position to sacrifice
their millions to equip these old steam
railroads with electricity-the modern
the cheap method of transportation
the railroads for the people. In
stead of government ownership of
railroads, the time has come when the
people propose to own them, and the
Twin City and Lake Superior railway
is great entering wedge. The ship
per will soon learn that there will be
no sickly excuse of car shortage, that
there will be no excessive freight
charges with such a railroad as this,
and that the small stakeholder land
we hope you will be among them) will
have an investment that will make him
financially independent.
Before investing in such a project
sensible people will stop, consider and
investigate. Surprising the promoters
are in good faith and it would require
$40, 900, 900 to build and equip such an
electric line as is proposed, that would
require an issue of stock to the amount
of $20O,00O,OOO! That is, provided
every dollar realized from the sale of
stock was honestly invested in the
project. But who pays for the ex-
pensive headquarters in five cities and
the men who manage them, and who
pays for the costly advertisements
and the tons of circular letters with
which the state is being flooded? It is
proposed to build road that will not
be ''loaded down with debt 'or "water-
logged with over capitalization and
yet stock is offered for 20 cents on the
dollar-80 per cent water. Of course
there would be "no excessive freight
charges on such railroad! No
dividends to- pay on watered stock!
This proposed electric air line, be-
tween the Twin Cities and Duluth is
on par with the Chicago and New
York electric air line. Both of the
projects may be all right, but we are
from Missouri. g.
