and severely injured, says the Pasco

places and his shoulder fractured.
They left Immediately for Seattle,

The cause OF the trouble arose from

WHEAT sUPPLANTs CATTLE.
First Thresher Introduced Into the
Salmon River Country.

First Thresher Introduced Into the
Salmon River Country.
The gradual advance of settlers and
home makers upon the broad ranges
OF the upper Salmon river, and the
inevitable end of the immense stock
raising industry Of that district, is evil
denced in the introduction near Pol
lock OF the first thresher to be brought
into the range country. says the
Grangeville, Idaho, correspondent to
a Spokane paper. The machine has
been purchased by William Lamont
and viii be used on his wheat ranch.
This vast territory. which a few
years ago was given over to roaming
bands of livestock and had become
one of the most famous of the ranges
of the northwest, has, within the last
two or three years, gradually changed
in its nature.
The land is being cut into smaller
areas and the value OF the soil for
grain raising is being appreciated.
Here and there throughout the terri
tory embraced, homes have sprung up
and across the old grazing lands may
be seen broad stretches Of growing
grain, 1t is probable that several
other machines will follow this pio-
neer in a new country.
But one feature is lacking to make
this country one OF the largest grain
raising districts in the state-trans-
portation. At present it means long
haul to place the product on the mar
ket, but with the completion of the
railroad projects now under way or
proposed, the upper Salmon river will
be well supplied with means Of send
ing It's grain to the buyers.

The people of Linn county, says the

ever since that county went dry. The
entire present term of court has been
taken up with local option liquor

enormous quantities Of liquor from

at Salem do large bushes making

STORM IN NICOLLET COUNTY
Considerable Damage Done in Ber-
nadotte Township.

The St. Peter Tribune tells the story
of how cyclone passed through
Bernadotte, Nicollet County, on Wed
nesday evening and did considerable
damage. The storm was rather high.
and only for about a mile in length
did considerable damage
The barn of George Quist, on the a
b. Swensen farm was blown down
and is a total wreck His horses and
cows were more or less injured, and
some had to be killed. A wind mill
was also blown down.
The big new modern school house
in the G. p. Hall district recently
built, is a total wreck nothing being
left but the foundation.
The barn of Oscar Gustafson was
blown off the foundation and his son
who was in the barn at the time was
quite badly hurt.
The wind mills of Charles Samuelson
and c. Swenson were blown down,
and the barn on the farm rented by
Alvin He'd is completely demolished
The corn crib and other small build
ings belonging to Frank Olson, were
also destroyed, and we understand the
chimney on the church was blown
down and broke through the roof.
The storm started in the rear of
Andrew Swensen's barn, on section 10
and was very severe for a distance
of about a mile. playing havoc with
trees, grain, telephone poles and every
thing in its path. The rain was heavy
and severe.
