A Letter From Roseau County.

Garland, Mimi, Jan. 8, 1908.
Editor Willmar Tribune: AT the
same time ! am renewing my SUBJ
scription for the Tribune, l will ask
for little space in the paper for
a few lines.
After having been a resident of
town of Norway Lake, Kandiyohi
county. for about 80 years, lett it
some 8 years ago and emigrated up
here to Garland, Roseau Co., MINI. !,
and took a homestead. At that
time this place was about 60 miles
from the nearest railroad and at
that time there was not much in
ducement to raise more grain than
the home market demanded, as the
trip to the railroad town took near
ly as much money as we got for our
load Of grain. But since the Great
Northern was extended to Green
bush, MIMI, it left us only about
Is miles from the railroad, and now
we can put on big loads and make
the trip in day. We always raise
good crops up here and are we'll
supplied with good wood for fuel,
an abundance of good water and
wild hay for our cattle, and why
should we not then be satisfied?
Of course the land is kind of hard
to open up here, on account of be-
ing partly covered with timber,
and we also have few more rocks
than we have use for, but by TAX
ing them one by one we finally have
them all out.
After being away from Kandiyo-
hi county for 8 years, l made it a
visit last Christmas, and l tell you
it was with mingled feelings that {
took my first views of the grand
old and precious town of Norway
Lake, with those to me so familiar
lakes, hills, groves and dwelling
places. Al: around, l found the
town immensely improved in those
8 years, with telephone lines, rural
free delivery, and big dwelling
houses and barns erected where be-
fore there were just a little cabin
and straw stable. The worst of
it was that l did not have time to
visit more than few friends and
old neighbors down there, but next
time | shall visit the land of my
boyhood l shall try to call on all
of you.
With my best regads to the Trib-
une and all my Kandiyohi county
friends, / remain,
Yours respectfully,
Peter Palmeson.

The Old Cabin of Jonas D. the kandyom Prairie
left window

is about as follows: eucalyptus,
one-tenth gallon; willow, two-tenths
gallon; sassafras, ash; hickory, red
oak, water oak, elm and maple,
four-tenths gallon; Douglas fir,
quaking aspen and black walnut,
six-tenths gallon; sycamore, cotton
wood and lodgepole pine, seven
tenths gallon. The price Of creo-
sote is about 10 cents per gallon in
the East and Middle West, 16 cents
per gallon on the Pacific coast, and
~ cents per gallon in the Rocky
Mountain states. The cost of treat
ing post will therefore vary from
4 to Is cents. Properly treated,
it should give service for at least
twenty years.
Experiments of the Forest Ser
vice show that with preservative
treatment the durability of lodge.
pole pine in Idaho is increased six
teen years. The cost of creosote is
there relatively high, yet by treat
ing posts there is a saving, with in.
terest at 6 per cent, of two cents
per post per year. More important
than the saving, however, is the
fact that thru preventative treat.
ment other woods are fitted to take
the place of cedar, of which the
supply is rapidly becoming exhaust
ed. A detailed description Of ex
periments in preserving fence posts
together with practical suggestion:
for treating them on a commercial
scale, are contained in Circular H.
of tile Forest Service. This public
alton can be obtained upon applica
tion to the Forester at Washington

What To Do.
There is comfort in the knowledge so
often expressed, that DIR. Kilmer's
Swamp-Root, the great kidney remedy,
fulflls every wish in curing rheumatism,
pain in the back, kidneys, liver, bladder
and every part of the urinary passage.
It corrects inability to hold water
and scalding pain in passing it, or bad
effects following use of liquor, wine or
beer, and overcomes that unpleasant ne
cessity of being compelled to go often
during the day, and to get up many
times during the night. The mild and
the extraordinary effect of Swamp-Root
is soon realized. It stands the highest
for its wonderful cures of the most dis
tressing cases. If you need medicine
you should have the best. Sold by drug
gists in ffty-cent and one-dollar sizes:

CRYING FOR HELP

Growing Less.
The kidneys cry for help.
Not an organ in the whole body
so delicately constructed.
Not one so important to health.
The kidneys are the filters of the
blood.
When they fail the blood becomes
foul and poisonous.
There can be no health where
there is poisoned blood.
Backache is one of the first indi-
cations TO kidney trouble.
It is the kidneys cry for help.
Heed it.
Doan's Kidney Pills are what is
wanted.
Are just what overworked kid
neys need.
They strengthen and invigorate
the kidneys; help them to do their
work; never fail to cure any case of
kidney disease.

citizen.
w. E. Meisner, living at 424
Maud St., Willmar, Mimi, says:
my kidneys troubled me for a
long time as the result of an acct
dent. My back was very lame and l
felt tired and worn out constantly.
My mother was so persistent in hav-
ing me try Doan's Kidney Pills that
l procured a box at A. E. Moss
berg's drug store and began using
them. l took them as directed, and
soon was rid of the trouble. Many
other members of our family have
used them and the results have been
just as satisfactory. "

SLOW PRESENTING CLAIMS
Commissioners Delayed by Failure Of
Creditors To NcpOrt.

Special to The Times -Dispatch.I
BOSDTON, VA. June 6.--Mr. Mayin
smitlley, the special commissioner ap-
pointed by tho Circuit Court OF Neck
lenburg to settle the accounts OF the
depositors and report the entiro lia-
ibilities, as we'll as the assets. OF the
defunct Bank OF Mecklenbnrg, has
not completed his report as yet, al
though Mr.. smithey has been busly
engaged In his work for some time.
He says that not half OF the creditors
have come in to prove their claims, and
IL they do not do SO he Will be COM
PEELED to report tho deposits Of such
as fail as the amounts appear on the
records OF the bank books. He has
given proper notice to creditors by
In the county papers.
The creditors are still In ignorance
as to what they Will receive from the
bank, as It will take considerable
time TO wind up It's affairs. Consid-
erlng the stringency OF the times the
court will not force the debtors to an
Immediate settlement. which would
cause great distress. unless In the
opinion OF tho receivers claim might
be lost by delay. In this event the
claim would be pressed for collection.
There will be no distribution OF the
funds now In hand at the approaching
term of the court, which will begin
here on the 22d OF this month.
