Makers Break Record.

Sidewalk building in the city has
practically come to an end for this
year, and the amount of cement
walk laid in Willmar during the
year is record breaker. It is now
said that Willmar, especially in it's
residence districts. has as fine
system of sidewalks of any town
in the state.
Alfred Bergeson. who represents
the Nelson Bros. Co., reports that
he has laid 1923 yards Of cement,
and William Peterson reports $500
yards of walk, making a total Of
1928 yards, which, figuring four
and one-half feet width Of walk,
would make 5.38 miles. Besides
this 38 cement crossings and nine
Kasota stone crossings with 18 ce-
ment approaches have been put in,
which would bring the amount Of
actual public walk laid to over six
miles. Then in addition to this,
figuring the amount OF private lawn
walks laid and the many private
curb approaches, the amount would
no doubt reach six and one-half
miles, which is pretty good show
ing for one season. A good deal
Of change has been made in the
grades during the past years and a
good deal of old walk has been torn
up and relaid to comply with the
new grade. The work has been
we'll done and as the walk is very
uniform thruout it makes a beauti-
full improvement to our streets. It
will be expensive but it will also
be a credit to the city.
Street Commissioner Grangaard
has been a busy man the past sum .
mer and fall, but his work is about
over and he will shortly hand in
his report to the council.

Increase Receipts

The Minneapolis Journal has made
an investigation Of the railroad earn
ings from passenger business and
finds that the two.cent fare has been
the means of increasing the receipts
of the transportation lines. The hg-
ures bear out what the press has had
to cay on this matter. From the very
beginning the newspapers maintained
that the earnings Of railroads would
grow instead of diminish The two

The recent speech Of Secretary
Taft, at Columbus, Ohio, has re-
ceived almost as much consideration
from the country at large as if it
were letter accepting the repub-
lican nomination for tho preei-
dency." This speech has received
the heartlest approval Of the con-
servative business men of the coun-
try, and it is an assurance to them,
that the legitimate business of the
country will have nothing to fear,
but much to hope from the continu-
alton of the Roosevelt policy, which,
he will undoubtedly continue, as
the I successor to Mr.. Roosevelt.
The fact is beginning to dawn that
the policies Of Mr.. Roosevelt were,
il many cases originated and sug-
gested by Secretary Taft, who has
tbeen his closest personal adviser.
Secretary Taft shows BY this speech
that 30 - m accurate interpreter Of
the wishes of the American people,

Wall street operators are trying

people and create panic. They will
not succeed. The people understand
the situation too we'll. The Duluth
Herald admirably states it when it
says: "The movements to bring
about equality of opportunity and
some semblance of justice in distribu-
ton of the good things of life, which
is proceeding by attacking the inter-
ests that have conspired to skim the
cream off the milk of prosperity for
few, will go ahead without regard
to what happens IN Wall street.
Stocks may crumble away, but the
railroads, the factories and the mines
will keep on operating and the coun-

Parts Of the country between Adri-

we're wind and hail storm last Thurs
day afternoon. The storm started .;
few miles southwest of Magnolia and
took a northeasterly course, appar-
emily splitting up and scattering af-
ter passing over the Rock county line.
The main path of the storm was from
quarter to half mile wide, but
even in this zone the damage was
done in spots. Fortunately the grain
was all in shock except a few fields
O: wheat and late oats, SC that the
damage, except to the corn, did not
amount to much. Some cornfelds
were pretty badly hurt, but in most
fields the injury was slight and will
not materially affect the yield.
Elmer Thompson, the nine year old
son of Albert Thompson, northwest
of Lismore, was badly injured in a
runaway on Wednesday of last week.
He was driving a binder when the
horses became frightened and started
to run. The boy was unable to hold
them and was thrown from the seat
against fence post. All his front
teeth were knocked out and he was
severely hurt otherwise.

tics, it was at the hands of his own
whilom friends and not at the hands
of the Republican party. Had all
the friends of Judge Collins and R.
G. Dunn played fair with tie party
in the first place we would have been
spared both the Ramsey and Henne-
pin counties contests, We would have
had a Republican convention, not a
grafters' pow-wow. Possibly neither
Mr.. Dunn nor Judge Collins might
have been nominated, but hadn't both
the Collins and the Dunn followers
sold out their own leaders, Collins in
the convention and Dunn in the cleo.
ton, some candidate acceptable to
the party would have been nominal
ed and consequently elected. Mr..
Dunn and Judge Collins have no
body but themselves to blame. They
both had been in public life long
enough to have entrusted their re-
spective campaigns into the hands OF
loyal Republicans instead of both
throwing themselves at the mercy Of
political grafters in the hands of r,
val corporation interests. If during
all the years that they held political
Office they proved themselves unable
to command a-loyal following, at tue
same time incapable Of dealing just,
ly with their opponents, what reason
is there to expect that they would do
any differently now if again permit
ted to drive the Republican party to
market? 1t is the loyal followers of
the respective Dunn and Collins fac
tions that have suffered injustice"
and not the leader. II the tladuced
followers are generous enough to
forgive, then surely ought the leaders
of 60 disartrcus defeat at least have
the modesty to forget. Midway
