nous vote of the county commits

Would Lease The Fav.

John Glode, proprietor OF the Ex-
change Hotel at Ely, would make a
deal for the lease of The Fay Hotel,
being in the city for the second
time yesterday in connection with
the proposition.
Landlord Smith furnished and
opened the hotel when it was first
built and has "made good" buying
the property later, since which he
has built additions that double the
original capacity of the place. And
while many there are who would be
sorry to see dad" leave the busi-
ness all would unite in best wishes
to himself and his estimable family
wherever they might go.
Mr.. Glode has conducted the Ex-
change Hotel at Ely for many years
and enjoys an enviable reputation
with the travelling public. Should
he be successful in his negotiations
for The Fay he will keep the house
we'll up to the high standard it has
attained among range hostelries.

iII Blind PIGS THROUGH sREwtRs.
Beer Makers Must Quit Selling to Out
laws or their Licenses May
Be forfeited.

The people of the 4nges have
been a long time finding the key to
the blind pig situation but they ap-
pear to have been successful, and
from present prospects the 25O blind
Pigs that are said to exist there will
soon dwindIe 10 next to nothing by
comparison.
The key is furnished by the viii
lage of Aurora. which has officially
notified the brewers that they will
grant no licenses to saloons that
are backed by brewers, or in which
the breweries have any direct in
terest, unless they quit selling to
the blind pigs. There are about 20
licensed saloons at Aurora and
there are said to be greater num-
Der of blind pigs in the territory
tributary to that village. This sys.
tenn may not be entirely effective,
but it looks good to the people who
are trying to kill off the blind pigs,
s~AAA s~A~y eAA~ ~ "Olh IO1 oil
that it is worth. 1t is figured that
it will be possible by this system to
reduce the number of blind pigs to
such moderate numb Der that the
balance of them can be raided or
driven out of business in some
other manner.
The action of Aurora is to be
adopted by the other range towns
and cities. They are preparing to
adopt identical resolutions to the
effect that no licenses shall be
granted to saloons which are backed
by the brewers, or in which they
are interested. The brewers are
very much disturbed over the stu.
ton on the range. 1t is plain that
the people of the range are deter,
mined to abate the blind pig evil
and if the present system is not a
complete success it will at least be
encouraging to the cause. David
H. Lawrence of Two Harbors is at
torney for the village of Aurora

PRESS BULLETIN NO. 68.
Crop Report of the Northeast Expert
ment Station for the Year 1907.

Eighty acres of the experiment
farm is given to.a system of farm,
ing considered practical and best
tor this section of the state.
l9)7 was the second year crops
we're grown in the rotation that is
to be followed on the different fields
of this 80 acre tract.
The acreage grown to the differ
ent crops are as follows: Wheat 4
acres, Oats 20 acres, Barley6 6 acres,
Peas 2 acres, Glover 20 acres, Fodder
corn IA acres, Stock roots 2 acres,
Potatoes 4 acres, Tame pasture
Glover and timothy 8 acres.
In 1907 the wheat yielded II
bushels per acre. The average
yield of the state was 13 bushels, of
the United States 1872 bushels.
Oats 800 bu. per acre, that of the
state 24.5 bu, of the United States
23.7.
Barley 22.7 bushels per acre, that
of the state 225, of the United States
23.8 bushels.
Peas bushels per acre, in 1906 2l
bushels per acre, in 1909 16 bushels

cured tons per acre.
Stock roots 10 tons per acre, or
335 bushel. In 1906 1912 tons per
acre.
Potatoes lo4 bu. per acre, average
of state 1O1 bu., of United States 95.4
bushel.
The above is the yield of the 80
acres under field conditions. Some
parts yielded much higher than
others owing to better drainage,
etc., but the average of all was TAX
en-.
This yield may be considered
only tair as a measure of the pro.
ductiveness of this section, owing
to the very late and cold spring
which was general throughout the
northwest.

Seeks Saive for His Injured FEELINGS.

J. A. Jones, the labor agitator who
was arrested by Marshal Knuuti of
Aurora, on suspician of being inn
plica'ed in the recent attempt to
dynamite the home of Capt. Nicho-
las, of the Mohawk mine, has enter.
ed suit for $5,0OO damages, placing
the injury to his lacerated feelings
at that figure.
Jones is a socialist who has been
making an easy living for many
months past as organizer for the
Western Federation of Miners, and
who has acquired an unenvia Bile
reputation through his connection
with range labor troubles.
5000 would sure be a swell dish
tor any reputation he was ever
known TO possess. The action will
come up for trial at the March term
of court, and we freely predict that
the price of a postage stamp will
come much nearer representing the
award of the jury than will the sum
sought by the former Virs inia daub
artist.
