self and prominent stalwarts in Fargo.
The poll does not contain any re-
plies from Dickey county, which is
Mr.. Marshall's home and will prob
ably give him 95 per cent of its vote.
Among the replies were many in
which Marshall's name was simply
marked with "X,' being che only
name so marked and apparently indi-
eating that the precinct would be for
Marshall. Many OF hers were marked
at the bottom without any figures,
"Marshall very strong" or "Marshall
will get the big end of the vote," or
something to that effect. These have
not been figured III any way in the
above totals, so that doubtless Mar
shall's lead is even greater than in
dicated by the figures.

N. D. Crops
Are Booming
Everything Looks Good for
a Bumper Crop and Lots
Of Money This Fall.

The big rain of Tuesday means
thousands of dollars for farmers in this
vicinity and prospects for a bumper
crop were never better. The weather
since the rain has been ideal and crops
are just booming. Nearly all farmers
are insured against hail, and good
times are looked for this fall. 1t is
estimated that more rain fell than at
any other one time for the past six
years. Everybody feels good today
and with $ wheat this fall every farm
er will have money to burn.

Marshall ! in
The Lead
/ II
Straw Vote Conducted From
Minneapolis Shows Him
Away in the Lead

Minneapolis. Mimi, June l5-In
order to get a line on the probabilities
in the state wide primaries in North
Dakota, a secret straw vote has just
been concluded from Minneapolis
which has a particular bearing on the
senatorial situation. Some 2,7O0
blanks were sent out from Mime
apolis asking the recipients estimate
on the senatorial outcome, and in
order to insure a genuine expression
Of opinion it was requested that the
blanks when filed ouo be returned
without signature or any indication
as to who had made the estimate.
More than 600 replies received up to
date show every county in the state
is well represented in the estimates,
which are based upon the percentage
of the total vote Of the precinct.
THESE percentages from the precincts
reporting reduced to figures show
Marshall in the lead with 7,077 votes,
with other candidates trailing as fol-
lows: Hansbrough 5,937, johnson
5,473, Little 4,O7S.
Taking these figures and figuring
out the total vote of the state on the
same ratio, the vote would be: Mar
shall 10, lbs, Hansbrough 4,727, John
son li,43l, Little ll,203.
In view of the republican supremacy
in North Dakota and the restrictions
of the new law which prevents the
voters of one party taking part in
the primaries of another party, a nom :
ination at the primaries late in June
will be equivalent to an election. An
interesting feature disclosed by this
poll, is the strength which Marshall
has apparently in precincts and coun-,
ties which Little's friends claim are
unanimous for him; for instance a
prominent stalwart in Fargo comedies
that Marshall will have 40 per cent
in his ward. The sentim ent for Mar
shall has grown wonderfully all over
the state since the poll was taken.
This is conceded by HansbrouCh h i'm

UNCLE SAM DOES NOT OWN
RURAL ROUTE MAIL BOXES

Attention of the poStoffice depart
ment has been called to a widespread
belief that rural route mail boxes,
even though purchased by the indiyid-
ual patrons, become the property Of
the government. The postmaster
authorizes the statement that no
order ever has been issued by his de-
partnent claiming ownership of the
rural mail boxes,
1t is explained that the erroneous
impression probably arose from the
fact that the postotfice department
will not permit mail boxes erected Oh
rural routes to be used fer any other
purpose than the receipt and dispatch
of mail matter The sposition taken
by the department is that while rural
mail boxes are the property of the
patrons buying them, they are erected
exclusively for the receipt and dis
patch of mail, and matter placed in
the boxes is construed tn be in the
mails and subject To laws and regula-
tions governing mail matter, includ-
ing the payment of postage.

WISCONSIN
CHEESE MAKERS
Seventeenth Annual Convention
to be Held at milwaukee,
Jan, 8, 7, And 8.

The Seventeenth Annual COnven-
tiOn of the Wisconsin Cheese Makers
Association, the largest organization
Of its kind in the world, wiflhe held
in the City of Milwaukee. January 6.
I and Stb, 1909
Headquarters will be at the Repub-
lIcan House, where club rooms and
balls for the cheese and dairy supply
exhibits have been secured The Ses-
siOnS proper will be held at the Freie
Gemeinde Hall in the same block
with that of the headquarters hotel.
The program for the three days
sessions include addresses Of great in-
terest, not only to practical cheese
makers, but also to patrons and dairy
farmers. The fancy or foreign cheese
interests will receive special attention.
Speakers of national reputation have
been engaged at considerable expense
to address the meeting, and men who
are continually experimenting and in
vestigating along the dairy lines will
be heard.
The monthly scoring of cheese in
the Dairy School Exhibitions will
take place in connection with the
convention. The educational Cheese
Contest is open TO the world. The
cash pro-rata premium fund and lists
Of special premiums are the largest
ever offered to the exhibitors in any
cheese exhibition ever held in Amer
ica.
The object of the Association is the
education of its members for better
work in the ait of making cheese,
both foreign and domestic, the care
and management of factories, the sale
of their products, and the wedding
out of incompetency in the business
of cheese making.
A further object of the Association
is to demand thorough revision and
rigid enforcement of such laws as will
protect the manufacture of honest
dairy products undue competition
from deceitful and dangerous im1ta-
tions and to unite the rank and file of
its members in instituting a regular
crusade against the unjust practice of
pooling milk at cheese factories by
weight without regard TO the butter
fat which it contains.
No branch of agriculture in the
state has made greater progress than
the cheese-making industry during the
past year. 1t is rapidly becoming a
speciality of districts of wide area in
northern Wisconsin
Ia every way, the convention will
be made one of the greatest possible
profit TO those attending it, and from
the growth of the industry it is ex-
pected that the convention this year
will De far greater in attendance and
good results than ever before in the
| history of the organization.

STUDYING BOYS AND GIRLS

Professor VIM. A. McKeever, of the
Kansas State Agricultural college at
Manhattan, has worked out plan for
the assistants of parents in the home
training of the young. To all who
are interested and will write and have
their names placed on the mailing
list there will be sent free a series of
bulletins or pamphlets each treating of
particular subject Prof. McKeever
has number of able assistants who
are aiding him in gathering the ma
terials for these pamphlets Among
other things they will interview many
parents who are already succeeding in
doing one or more of these particular
things with children and get the bene-
fits of their knowledge. Finally all
the materials will be summarized and
printed as above stated If farmer
has horse that balks in the harness
or COW that acts queerly and runs
off the reservation, he can write to
the nearest government experiment
station and secure printed bulletin
or letter on the subject from a high
salaried expert; but if the refractory
creature chazcoS to be his 16.year- old
son or his fledgling daughter, he has
no recourse other than TO fight the
case out alone, assisted perhaps only
by despairing wife. This is not a
square deal to the parents, nor is it at
all fair to the boy and girl. The first
bulletin on home training will be
issued SOON. Some of those now being
prepared are entitled

GEO. ARNETT A
RAPID WORKER

Geo. Arnett has just completed his
job of breaking up with dynamite all
the large iron remnants from the
burning OF the Pioneer Pulp mill.
He also took down two smoke stacks
and removed two boilers of 100 horse
power capacity from their site to be
hauled on sleighs to-. Vesper. In
doing this work he used about loo
lbs. of dynamite in breaking up
five water wheels. He was assisted by
four men and they did all this work,
cleaned the ground of all the wreckage
and did il all in 13 days. This is
an excellent record and speaks
highly of Mr.. Arnett's ability for
doing this kind of work. The Pioneer
Pulp mill site is now clear of all pulp
board, iron and debris of all kinds.
M. Arnett says it is now ready
for the landscape artist.

MERCHANTS
ARE SATISFIED
Reports Are That the Holiday
Trade is Better Than Any
Previous Year.

The Christmas rush of 1908 is a
thing of the past. Grand Rapids
MERCHANTS are now pausing for
breath and comparing this years
holiday business with that of pre-
vious years Nothing butfavorable
reports have thus far been re-
ceived from our leading business
men. Everyone interviewed said that
the volume and quality of business
this month has surpassed the same
month in previous years, despite all
the opening of the season. This was
particularly true Of the big stores.
Among the clothiers, while business
has been better than usual at this
time of the year, the cost to keep
it up has been greater. This was
due more or less, they say, to the
full fall and winter weather we have
been experiencing during the past
month, has lessened the demand for
heavy clothing, and consequently cut
down it's sale. The sale of winter
suits, however, has been better than
usual at this time of the year. By
heavy advertising during the past six
weeks, the season has been eXcep-
tionally good as to general results,
am. most of orr merchants have no
complaint to make.
Grocers are also well satisfied with
their share of the trade.
Collections, the merchants all say,
have been quite satisfactory, not only
in the sale of necessities, but some
of the luxuries.

GRAND RAPIDS SKATING
PARK WELL ATTENDED

The Grand Rapids skating park To-
Gated on the mill pond in the northern
part of the city. was attended Christ
mas Day, especially in the afternoon
and evening by an unusually large
crowd Of young folks. The skaters
were very enthusiastic over the con-
dition of the ice, which WAS as smooth
as glass, the ice having been flooded
shortly before, and enjoyed themselves
immensely.
The managers of the park are plan
ming on many Improvements in the
immediate future for the convenience
of the skaters, one of which consists
of the erection OF a separate warming
booth for ladies.
Messrs. Mullen and Henry, the pro-
moters of the rink deserve much
credit for their efforts and are very
thankful to- the people of Grand
Rapids for the liberal patronage they
are according them.

ANOTHER CITY MAIL
CARRIER FOR GRAND RAPIDS

The demand for another city car
rier on the part of the citizens of
Grand Rapids we understand has borne
fruit and that fifth city carrier will
be added on or about January 1st 1909.
This added carrier will relieve the
present situation at the local post
office and the delivery service ought
to be much better than it has been
of late.

Welch that this man has served time
in the county Jail before and that he
is in formed has a hard record. We
hope that he will receive his just
deserts in this attempt at murder.
He was undoubtedly under the influ-
ence of drink, but that is no excuse
for his cold blooded attempt upon

Mr.. Johnson will recover from his
wounds but it was a close call for
him.

was arraigned before Justice Fritz
