lows and Masons spent an enjoyable
Sunday visiting at the home of Ive1
Aspaas in Lake Lillian. They were
taken out in Wilson's ''Sightseer, y
but coming back they were obliged
to foot it a good share of the way
on account of the roads being made
muddy and slippery by the heavy
rain. For long stretches they pa
tiently trailed along behind the
choo-choo car in the ankle-deep
mud, and the only thing that kept
them from indulging in divers and
sundry quotations that are usually
printed in "blank verse" was the
fact that it was Sunday. In one
place the automovebyitself" gave
up entirely and it was only after a
few vigorous altogether, ahey
ahos' that it finally got thru. Hap.
PLY the crowd was a goodnatured
one which regarded the experience
as one of the necessary things tc

A FORTUNE in
''RED NOTION
Willmar People Are Rapidly Ac'
quiring a Taste for the
h0rSeleSS CARRIAGES.

Willmar now has 32 automobiles,
representing an investment of $36,
500. Add to this the cost of two
garages, $4,000, and you have a
the neat sum Of SAG, 500 invested in
pleasure vehicles and their mainte-
nance. A comparison with other
towns shows that Willmar COM
pares favorably, both in regard to
the number of machines as we'll as
their quality.
The Buick, the Rambler and the
Ford seem to be the most popular
and we have the same number of
each, five. The highest priced car
is Tallman's" Pierce Great Arrow" :"
costing $4500, the lowest in cost is
Lars Halvorson's homemade car,
valued at $500. All of the ma
chimes ar" "gasoliners, mo steamers
or electrics having so far been
found practicable for this section
of the country.
The first auto was brought to the
city eight years ago by Sam Os-
mundson. It was a Locomobile
steamer, five horsepower, costing
$500. The latest addition was F.
G. Handy's :$2500 40 h. p. Winton,
which arrived here Saturday.
The following is a complete list
Of the autos now in the city, thier
license number and the cost of
each, with the names of the own
ers. A number of owners have
state licenses, but under the law
passed in July, 1906, these are not
valid, as it is provided that the
license must be issued in the own
ers place of residence.

A windstorm went over this coun.
try last Saturday night, doing more
or less damage, followed by a little
rain shower. At H. H. Hande' s
place it made a revolution in gener-
al, tipping over hayracks and wag.
ons and tearing down the machine
shed. At 0. A. Boe's place the
lightning struck and killed two
milk cows and one steer. While
we know and believe that those ele.
ments are guided by the Supreme
Ruler, we also know and must ad.
nit that things are left in ou,
hands that aid in relieving and pro.
tecting us, if properly conducted
In the pioneer times, when the
farmers had only rail fences acci.
dents by lightning were rare. But
after we got the county literally
braided with barb wire fences and
telephone wires it seems as tho ac
cidents by lightning are gaining
gradually. There must be some
reason for it and by close attention
we may find some remedy left ir
our hands also for that. The farm
ers as rule in order to save fence
posts and some work staple a bari
wire fence right to the barn OF
some other outbuidling; in al
probability this is mistake, as il
is wellknown fact that lightning
will strike down in a wire fence
and follow the fence probably fol
a mile terminating in and causing
the destruction of the houses tt
which the wire is attached. From
the experience we have had with
the telephone lines we found tha
ground rods are All absolute necess
ity. The farmers scrap iron pile!

are full of old shaftings and rods.
Supposing an iron rod was driven
into the ground say for every Is or
20 fence posts and piece Of wire
fastened to it and connected with
the fence wires, the lightning
would undoubtedly be grounded
and thereby probably save lives and
property. This might prevent to
some extent losses by lightning and
it certainly would not cost much to
give it trial. The stock will nat
urally bunch together in case of a
shower and run with the storm till
they come to a halt by a wire fence
and a bolt Of lightning running
along that fence will kill many at
a time if close enough together.
