KNOCKS PARCELS POST
HamPden Guardian Tells Farmers te
Beware of It-Means Ruin for -
Them in End.

Hampden Guardian: There is one
thing that the farmers of this country
should work together in and that is t.
defeat the passage Of the parcels pos
law, which will undoubtedly come UT
before the coming session of congress
1t is to be presented this year In a
slightly modified form, but in realit'
it is just the same as previously. the
difference is in the wording. The
way it now stands Is that it will be
only a local post instead of general
That the catalogue houses are behind
this movement is undoubtedly true
for they know that in the event Of
the passage Of the local parcels post
it will just be a question Of time when
the general law will be put into effect
The farmers may think that this Law
will be a great benefit to them. l.
will be just the opposite. for 1t will
have a tendency to keep him at home
and send his money to the catalogu'
houses more than ever before. fol
what will be the use of hitching up
and going to town, they will figur~
when Uncle Sam is paying a man to
deliver the goods at our door. s,
down they sit and send athe none,
east. So far the law BENEFITS the far
mer, as 1t is very convenient. But
look ahead little. Every penny
that is sent east is robbing your home
merchant of just that much and he T.
compelled to advance the price of hi,
goods in order to meet current ex-
penses. This keeps up and soon tho
home merchants pricees are so high
that others. his best customers. send
east, then the merchant lets his clerl
go and there goes one family out
town. About this time a prospective
buyer comes to town and sizes tho
situation up, and goes home without
looking at your land. and then tell
his friends that there is no use goin;
there to invest as the town lis dead
absolutely no business. for man ha
always a poorer opinion of the Same
conditions In other towns than he ha.
Of his own. This will bring dowr
the value of your land. Then th.
merchant goes. for the town is In re-
ality dead, and down tumbles the valu,
Of your property some more. Sool
after this your are disgusted and wan
to sell your property, and unless your
neighbor will buy 1t. and you take
what he Is willing to pay you, yoi

Pembina, N. D., Dec. 2.--An old gen.
tleman- named Copeland who with his
wife lives near the boundary line at
Emerson, was called to the door bv a
knock. He found a man at the door
VI hom he recognized as half breed
manned, Joseph Gooselaw, who lived
about a nile from him on the Min
neseta side, The man stated that he
had broken down with his buggy and
wanted Copeland to get lantern and
eroDee or chain and come and help
him out of his trouble. Mr.. Copeland
accordingly got his lantern and went
with him. 5Gooselaw said the buggy
was only a short way, but kept on
leading for a considerable distance.
AS. the fellow was somewhat intoxi-
Gated and no buggy was in sight,
Copeland began to be suspicious AMI
reaching in his pocket he opened his
clasp knife and held it in his hand.
FINALLY Copeland refused to go furth-
er and turned to go back Then
Gooselaw drew a club from under his
coat {. and made vicious swing at
Copeland's head, but Copeland. who
had been watching out for something

TO use his knife but it closed in on his
hand. cutting his fingers badly. But
Copeland still hung On and finally
managed to get the knife open and
having punched the fellow with 1t two
or three times, Gooselaw then ran
away as fast as feet would carry him.
Later the lantern, Gooselaw's cap and
other evidences were found on the
scene of conflict but Gooselaw had dis

Copeland, to go back to the house, put
Mrs. Copeland out of the way and
then rob the house. It was very for

IT WAS NOT AN ISSUE
ISLANDS Defeat Was Not Due to Ad-
vocaoy Of Referendum. He
Declares.

Bismarck Tribune: Among the
visitors In the city Monday was j.. A
Ueland Of Edgeley, and father OF til.
initiative and referendum measure
pending before the Legislature, ani
naturally interest is aroused as tc
whether this measure had anything
to do with his defeat as a candidate
again for the legislature.
1t is understood the issue in La
Moure county was not made on the
initiative and referendum. The sl<
newspapers In that county advised tho
voters to support Mr.. Shiels because
he was a republican, and none of, then
objected to Mr.. Ueland because he IA.
vored the measure. 8
The vote in LaMoure county was
twice as large for Taft as Bryan and
while Ueland received about $50 more
votes than Bryan and 100 more vote:
than Burke. he did not get enough II
elect him.
The initiative and referendum is .
question of too much Importance tc
the people of this state to be seri.
ously affected by the election or de-
feat of any man, even though he is
as Mr. Ueland says. strong advo
cate Of this principle. g.
Questioned as to his opinion of tn
chances of passage Of the present in.
itiative and referendum bill. Mr.. Ue.
land said the people understand thc
measure better than they did wher
the pill passed the last session of the
legislature and he was confident tha
the present session would pass
and that the question would be sub
mitted to the people at the next gen
eral election.
Mr.. ueland is here on business be-
fore the land office He is astonish, a..
to see the great Improvement made
IN the city during the past two wears

Settlers Moving North.

"The northern part of Wis

lation increased by 800 families, .
said E. r. Wheelock in tn Q
Plankington. "T h families
will come from Chicago and will
be settled on land in the north
ern counties. The advance guard
will go up there next week, and
the remainder will come in a
short time. The work that has
been done in advertising the
lands in that part Of the state il
bearing fruit.
Inquiries are continually be-
ing received from persons who,
tired of the struggle in the
cities, wish to get Gus on q piece
of land and do something for
themselves. They are willing
TO work hard for time if they
can see something ahead after
the work is done. Up in north
ern counties is some Of as good
land as can be found anywhere,
and all that is wanted to develop
it is Drawn and muscle, backed
by little money.
"This colony which Is now go
ing up there will go onto land
only short distance from . rail
road and the men will be able to
support themselves, as the CON-
pany owning the lands binds
itself to take all the forest pro-
ducts from the land which the
