MODELLED AFTER MAINLAND EX-
PERIENCE.
"These conditions are largely model
ed after those imposed by the United
States on the land within its the recla-
nation projects, with which our land
is analogous, rather than with the ordi-
nary prairie land of the states. In
these reclamation districts at first forty
acres were given. But it was found
that this was too much, that it could
not be cultivated unless the settler was
man of capital who could hire large
numbers of laborers; and that was
something entirely out of the scope
and purpose of the project. Intensive
cultivation is required in these recla
nation regions, and the area given to
any one man was first cut down to
twenty acres and then to ten.
AMOUNT TO BE GIVEN.
"The amount to be given under these
special agreements will vary according
to the land. The effort will be made
to give enough so that a man can have
full opportunity to exert his industry
to the best advantage. OF pineapple
land there will be twenty or perhaps
twenty-five acres. But to give man
a hundred acres of pineapple land for
instance is to give him something that
he cannot utilize unless he is a man
of capital and can employ a large mum.

For this reason, as well as for the
reason that the available land of the

to be sold to any one person will be

DROPS TO FOUR PER CENT
Further Reduction in Bank of Eng
land Discount Rate.


London Jan. 24.-The rate of dis
count of the Bank of England has
been reduced from s to per cent.
The reduction of the bank rate was a
foregone conclusion owing to the rap
idly improving financial conditions
prevailing everywhere, which caused
the market for discount rates to fall
to 3K per cent. The return of cash
from the country consid derably swelled
the reserve, which further will be in
creased in the near future by the re-
ceipt of gold from Egypt and Austria
liza, as we'll as bar gold now en- route
to London. Further influences tend
ing towards the reduced bank rate
are the improved conditions prevail
Ing on the Continent, forecasting
early reductions in the bank rates of
France and Germany and the likeli-
hood Of return of gold from Amer
lea or the shipment of gold from
America to the Argentine Republic,
thus relieving the demand on London.
Paris, JAN 24.-The Bank of France
has reduced it's rate of discount from
S1a to 8 per cent. ~

FOR MANHOOD SUFFRAGE
Agitation in Germany Continues te

Brunswick, Germany, Jan. 24.-The
agitation in favor of manhood suffrage
is spreading throughout this state. In
Brunswick, as well as in Berlin and
elsewhere in Germany, there is dis
position to make governmental condi-

advancing the idea that the economic
reorganization of society cannot be
attained until the right of government
is derived solely from the people and
contend that the first great step to-
ward making living easier is to win
control of the state through elections.
Motions have been drawn up by
both the Socialists and the Conserva-

electoral laws could be amended and
improved and they were introduced in
the diet. 1t was decided to consider
them and the house thereupon appoint

Killed while Hunting .

A sad accident occurred in the
town of Hodges on Monday, January
Goth, when Freddie; the 15-year old
son of Mr.. and Mrs. Fred Miller, was
shot while hunting.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller had gone to
Hancock that morning, and the boys,
Freddie and brother two years
younger went out to look after some
traps. All that is known of how tho
accident happened is that while the
younger boy was looking at one of
the traps, he was startled to hear the
report of the gun, and as he looked
around the second barrel was discharg-
ed and Freddie feel over. The younger
boy went to where he lay, and ex tin
guished the fire that had caught in his
clothes, and on receiving assurance
from Freddie that he was not going
to die, bundled HIM up and started
for help. He returned with Mr..
Glover, who found the boy dead and
took him home.
The boys had started from home
with the gun unloaded, so it is pro-
bable that Freddie had just loaded the
gun when it was discharged. The gun
was one that discharged very easily,
SO it is thought that the first barrel
was discharged accidentally, and the
recoil threw the gun back in such
way that the second barrel was dis
charged in the boys back. The boy
was shot thru the kidney, and pro-
baby died almost Immediately.
Mr.. and Mrs. Miller have the sim
cere sympathy of friends and neigh
bors in their great sorrow that SO pro-
missing boy should have been re-
moved from the family circle in SO
tragic a manner.

TAWNEY CALLS HALT
Warns Congress That Country
Faces $lOO,OO0,OOO Deficit.
ESTIMATES MUST BE SHAVED

Declares His Figures Do Not Include
Any New Appropriations for Rivers
and Harbors Nor for Erection ot
/ Public Buildings.
Washington, Jan. 24.-In accordance
with notice previously given Chair
!nan Tawney of the committee on ap-
preparations called up for considera.
tion by the house the urgent de-
ficiency appropriation bill. An agree
ment was reached to devote the en-.
tire day to general debate on the
measure, which carries total appro-
priation Of $24,O74,450.
In explanation of the bill Mr.. Taw-
ney sounded a note of warning and
said that On the face of the estimates
submitted to congress for the next
fiscal year the country was confront
ed with a certain deficit of 100000.
900. These estimates, therefore,
would have to be materially revised
and the figures reduced.
Mr.. Tawney declared that he
deemed it his duty to call attention to
this fact in order that expenditures
may be kept within estimated rev.
enues. Il do not make this state
ment for the purpose of exciting
Alarm he said, cor for the purpose of
exciting any apprehension in the mind
OF any one regarding the ability of
our government to meet all of it's
obligations now existing or that this
congress may create. = ~.--
He said he appreciated the fact that
his reference to a possible deficit
would not "be received with favor
here or anywhere else, especially
where there is sentiment for in
creased expenditures" but still he
felt it his duty to state the facts.
Continuing, Mr.. Tawney said he had
been ultra-cons ervative in his state
ment of the financial condition of the
country.
Replying to question by Mr.. Clark
(Mo.) Mr.. Tawney made it plain that
there would be no new appropriations
this session for rivers and harbors or
public buildings, for, he said, his cal
culations did not include them,

promises of both parties chat if sue

would revise The tariff and inquired
of Mr.. Tawney if it was not true that

vision of the tariff there was a great

FARM DRAINAGE.

How much money is invested in
unproductive land on your farm, that
is unproductive because it needs
drainage? What does your loss
amount to on this idle capital at per
cent per annum? How many years out
of the last five have you harvested
soft corn or cultivated poor stand,
because your land was not fit for corn?
How many times have you mired a
horse the past season and then "cuss-
ed'' the weather? How many bushels
Tof oats do you lose each year because
the grain lodges or fills poorly on soggy
land?
These are few questions the
Minnesota Farmers Institute would
like to ask you. Come to the Institute
. meeting and ask the speaker on Farm
Drainage to help you solve your prac-
tical problems in open ditching, tile
draining, construction of outlets, etc.
In an address before the Minnesota
State Agricultural Society in 1907, Mr..
Fred Meyer OF St. James, Mimi, stat
ed that he had laid $4,000 ft. of tile OH
800 acres of land at a total cost of
$14OO, or 90 cents per rod. In 1906
his oats yielded 55 bushels per acre
No. 2 white on tile drained land,
while yields on adjoining land averag-
ed about 80 bushels of low grade,
musty oats.
Is your farm among the vast number
in Minnesota that needs drainage?

PLAN WIDE CAMP PAGN

Formidable Conspiracy.
SECRET. SERVICE GETS BUSY

That In Event of Success in Hayti
RevoIs Would Extend to Santo Do
mingo and Possibly Cuba.
washington, Jan. 24-Startling de-
yelopments in the plot to overthrow
the government of President Nord in
Hayti have followed the investiga-
tions of the secret service agents in
New York in connection with the ar
rest of Jose Nj. Giordani on the charge
Of counterfeiting Haytian money. The
officers say they have ascertained
that the prisoner was the agent of a
formidable conspiracy whose opera
tions probably would have extended
beyond the limits of Hayti into Santo
Domingo and even into Cuba had the
revolution in Hayti been a success
and the agents in New York remained
unmolested. 1t was found among
other things, the secret service op-
eratives declare, that certain persons
in Hayti, mostly Frenchmen and Cor
sicans and one of them a brother of
Giordani, were active agents of the
alleged conspirators and were desig-
mated in the papers found among
Giordani's effects by numbers. By
careful inquiry the secret service men
were able to connect these numbers
with the proper persons and the first
result was to fix upon Charles Mot,
the American consular agent at st.
Marc, as one of the persons to whom
a number had applied. Upon learning
this fact the state department imme-
diately cabled to American Minister
Furniss at Port au Prince to dismiss
this agent at once from the employ of
the United States. This action was
taken because the state department
feels that it must keep itself abso.
lutely free from any appearance of
sympathy with rebellious movements
in Latin5 aerican republics.
Chief Wilkie of the secret service
has made statement giving the facts
and circumstances connected with the
arrest of Giordani, which go to show
that at the time of his arrest Giordani
had in his possession counterfeit Hay
tian paper money to the face value of
$S00,O00, 1000 Remington rifles and
100000 rounds of ammunition, all of
which, it is said, was intended for the
Haytian revolutionists. .'..-

GET TOGETHER.
Practical Method of Cooperation
for Farmers.

A uniform carload of cattle, hogs,
sheep OR potatoes, always brings q
better price than does a mixed load
It is always to the advantage of the
farmer if the buyer comes to him
,rather than for him to go to the buyer
as-he has his product at home where
he can hold it if the price does moi
suit him. which he cannot we'll do il
he has hauled it or shipped it to mar
ket. A buyer can pay higher price
for product where he can get it in
large quantities, because it takes less
j time and expense for him to get the
amount he needs.
The above facts make it obviously
to the interest of the farmers in any
locality to ''get together for the pur-
pose of producing some product OF
uniform quality and in large enough
quantities to attract buyers.
Twelve farmers at small town in
North Dakota "got together on
growing potatoes. Each grew from
Toto 40 acres of given variety. They
get from cents to 10 cents per
bushel more for their potatoes be-
cause postal to their secretary brings
car of uniform potatoes, while at
other towns a buyer spends two or
more days "picking up'' a carload,
and then they are not of uniform
quality. At West Salem, Wis, thirty
farmers are breeding Guernsey cattle.
They use better sires than most breed
ers can afford when working alone.
Buyers come to them for Guernseys
because in one day they can look over
few hundred head. At st. Cloud,
Mimi. several men are breeding Short.
horn cattle. Breeders all over the
country know this and go to st. Cloud
for Shorthorns. Any community may
become noted for the excellence and
quantity of any particular product
and reap the benefits therefrom. Are
the farmers of Stevens County, going
to be behind in the race? or shall we
"get together''? Think it over and
bring it up at the Farmers Institute
at Morris Thursday, Jan. Both. The
speakers can give you some informa-
ton on this question. .-

PROFITS IN SHEEP,
Do You Keep a Flock of Sheep ON
Your Minnesota Farm.

II mot, come to the Farmers In
stitute and hear some of the reasons
why Minnesota farmers should be
sheep feeders and growers.
The problem Of securing reliable
farm labor for dairying and general
farming is confronting many farmers
in these times. Poor seasons for
yield and quality of small grains have
reduced the profits on many grain
farms in Minnesota. Do you realize
as a farmer that Minnesota is one of
the best located and best adapted
states in the Union for the growing
and feeding of sheep? DO you realize
how good flock will help to solve
your labor problem and return you a
profit in unfavorable grain years?
Read the following account of 80 ewes
owned and cared by a farmer in
s. W. Minnesota. These figures were
accurately gathered and the amounts
of feed weighed and recorded by an
employee of the Minnesota Agricul-
tural Experiment Station:
On Jan. 1st, 1906, the flock consist
ed of 80 ewes ranging from one to
five years of age. They were fed
hay and fodder corn with light
grain ration during the winter months.
In the spring the flock was turned
into the grain fields, and allowed to
Craze until the grain was in. high.
During the summer they were allow
ed the run of the pasture and farm
stead, and after the grain was stacked
in the fall they were turned into the
grain fields where they picked their
living until October Goth, when ewes
and lambs were all sold.
