Carpenter Continues to Win.

Since he raced Francis LaBeau in

Harry Carpenter has been defeating
every skater in the country who has

other concern in the northwest. In
fact the mild winter weather which
we have had and the furry has left
us with an immense stock of winter

public at enormous reductions. Our
advertising has brought splendid re:

that a good many farmers would
take stock in proposition of that
kind, as they felt the need of it. In
regard to fruit, he stated that he had
put. out apple trees, raspberries,
blackberries and strawberries, and
all of them were doing we'll. He
said it was surprising what lot of
strawberries one could get from
little patch. He intends TO put out
more shrubbery next year.
These two gentlemen, referred to
above, are not the only farmers
that are talking this way; it is
general throughout the valley. James

of several parties who have been
down south this winter, who have
come back with a good word for the
valley. They stated that after one
has lived here for a time, he does
not care to 60 back south to stay.
The climate there in winter is con-
tinously changing, which makes it
very disagreeable; first it SHOWS,
then it turns to rain, which makes
the roads almost impossible, and
then in a few days it freezes up and
it is hard to tell which is the worst,
the mud or the frozen chunks. 49,
The people of Minnesota that
read or travel are commencing to
realize that we have one of the best
states, and the richest soil in the
United States. Our resources are un-
limited. IF this were not so, why
does the state develop so rapidly?
The following statsments are not
guess work, but facts:
Minnesota, as everybody knows,
has the largest iron mines in the
world" - :, - ....,.
| Minnesota produces the largest
number of pounds of butter; no.
100000 pounds in year. This
butter is manufactured at cost of
|2H cents below that produced in the
states further south, according to
statistics, and it sells for the highest
prices in the markets of the world.
If people further south can make
money by dairying, the people in
the Red River Valley surely
can. Expe riments show that our
grasses contain more protine than
they do further south, which is very
essential to quality. -
We have the purest of water,
the largest Touring mills in the
world, and the largest state fair
of any state fair in the Union.
I'VE have the largest permane Mt
school fund, the finest capitol
building in the United States.
According to statistics, we have
made the largest growth of wealth
of any state in the Union in the
past four years.
IF more people will wake up to
the advantages that are theirs, we
can beat the past-secords. All we
need is to realize our advantages,
and take advantage of them. Boost
the country in which you live, or
get OUT should be the motto of
every citizen"
