Depth OF Bethel Granite Deposit.


supt. w. q. Clifford Of the Woodbury.
Granite Co. wishes to correct statement
published in this paper in it's issue OF
Nov. 25 and contained in a summary OF
the report made by Expert T. Nelson Dale
and contained in Bulletin No. 404, issued
by the Z. s. Geological Survey. Mr..
Dale states that the thickness of the
Woodbury. quarry vein is from five to 80
feet. II be meant by this that the layers
OF granite are that thickness the state
ment would probably pass for correct,
but az to the actual thickness of the gran
lite deposit no one has yet fathomed 1t.
Two years ago this month, before
building their new sheds in Bethel and to
learn II possible the depth OF the granite,
the company expended over $500 in ex-
periments, having in view at the same
time the obtaining of good water sup
ply. A core drill was purchased and a
straight hole bored in the ledge for 100
feet, when the drill broke. Five days
work was spent in trying to recover the
drill and the attempt was given up. The
whole OF this 100 feet yielded granite
cores varying with the thickness Of the
sheets from a few feet to FIVE feet long.
The company was expecting to go down
200 feet, but the 100 feet yielded a never
failing flow of water and demonstrated
the presence OF thickness of granite de-
posit sufficient for great many years to
come.
A peculiar feature OF the boring was
that although the hole was sunk but 10
feet from plain line dividing the trap
rock from the granite, yet no trap rock
was struck in the downward passage,
showing that il the veins dipped the dip
was on an angle away from the point
where the hole was bored

The bear hunt OF the first three days OF
last week resulted in no success for the
hunters. The first day the bear was fol-
lowed by will Hoisingtou.
The next day the services OF Walter
Archer Of Braintree and his dogs we're en-
listed. The bear was tracked from mid
die Camp Brook region to that part OF
Rochester mountain west OF Chas. w.
Wilson's. II was thought that the ami
mai was making for Braintree mountain
aud il has heen the experience OF hunters
that when bears get into this rough conn
try aud wide tracts OF wood, it is as we'll
TO give up the chase. So at this point the
hunters separated aud Mr.. Hoisington
went over into Rochester North Hollow
and stationed himself TO cut of the bear
when be would cross the road leading
from Randolph to Rochester over the
mountain. But the bear did not follow
this program, at least that day. for Mr.
Archer followed him three times around a
spruce knoll back OF Charles Wilson's
ami then night was upon him aud the
Chase was given up.
Young Bundy and Noble did not get
into communication with the trail that
day. The next day the two young men
took up the trail and followed it by devil
Gus routes northWard, below the Noun
tain house aud towards the Braintree
mountain when they, too, gave up the
chase.

SION

Emil Merge was arralgned before
Justice Randall Saturday morning on
the charge of having stolen property
in his possession, found guilty and
fined ST. and costs.
A. L. Longley made the complaint,

latter and his brother, Lester,
identified the bicycle by certain marks
and repairs, although it had been
altered somewhat by painting the
framework OF it, and new tire on
the front wheel and new hind wheel
being added to It, Merge claimed that
the bicycle was the property of his
brother and that he had bought it at
local bicycle shop last summer and bad
given it to his brother. His brother
bore him out IN this testimony. The
court decided that the bicycle was the
property of Chester Longley and
imposed the above fine on defendant.
An appeal will be taken to the district

CORN CULTURE FOR MAY
G. p. Bull Of Farmers In
StituteS Gives Valuable
and Timely Advice

Soil: It is useless to expect a large
crop of corn if you do not provide
rich, warm, thoroughly drained soil.
Fall Flowing: Generally, fall
plowed land is preferable, but fall
plowlng is not absolutely necessary.
Harrow the fall plowed land as early
as 1t is possible to get on the field IN
the spring. This warns the soil,
saves moisture and causes weed seeds
to germlnate. If you have a disc,
disc and harrow thoroughly just
before planting. 1t you have no disc,
harrow several times, enough to
make nice fine seed bed. An
ordinary corn cultlvator is a good tool
for stirring up the SOIL in making the
seed bed.
Spring Flowing: If the land is to
be spring plowed, 1t should be done
early and each days blowing narrowed
as soon as 1t is plowed. This helps to
firm the seed bed and hold moisture.
Harrow again just before planting,
even though no weeds are showing, as
it helps to make fine, warm seed
bed. A disc is good tool to use on
spring Flowing as. 1T aids in re-
establishing the capilllarity between
the furrow slice and the subsoll, which
IS absolutely Necessary to successful
crop.
ALI this work on the soil is for the
purpose of warming up the soil, max
ing a fine. firm seed bed, killing
weeds and conserving moisture It
pays.
Seed: No amount OF work on the
soil in culture will make good crop
of corn unless the seed is good.
Enough has been said about the value
Of testing seed out not on grading it.
One can we'll afford to hand PICK his
seed corn If he has not access to a
grader. Grading seed corn will
separate out all small and irregular
kernels, which make 1t possible for a
planter to drop evenly, thus securing
a better stand. mole even crop aud
more bushels per acre than can be
obtained without it..
Planting: Should be done as early
as possible after the soil is warm and
danger from frost IS past. It is
generally best to plant in check rows,
making the rows the usual distance
3 feet to 3 feet inches) apart. For
extreme northern ATTITUDES feet is
ample width for the rows. Plant or
4 kernels per hill in check rows, or if
planted in drills, have seeds dropped
about every Is inches apart IN the
row. Do not plant more than two
inches deep.

There IS nothing like supporting
home trade says the Window Citizen.
If you want your home town to
prosper, you must patronize your
home merchants. because individual
prosperity means collective prosperity.
The tendency to support home
merchants IS more fixed in some
persons than in others. A woman,
who had been raised in stringent
circumstances, suddenly became rich.
Her hobby was to support home
merchants. When she received her
money, she decided to have her old
magazines bound. In talking with the
clerk, he asked her if she would have
them bound in Turkey or Morocco.
why no. she said. II will have
them bound right here at home. .

MEMORIAL DAY MAY 81
Governor Issued Proclama-
ton, Making the Day a
Legal Holiday

Governor johnson issued the
Memorial day proclamation Monday,
making May 81 legal holiday on
account of May 80. coming on Sunday.
The proclamation reads: Though
nearly three. score years have come and
gone since the SOUND of Sumpter' 9
guns, the recurrence OF each
Memorial day brings to US again the
debt of love and duty 1t is our
privilege and pleasure to pay the
memory of the nation s defenders.
This is not new bereavement, but
one which time, the healer of even the
most poignant griet, has softened.
These are not new-made graves we
garland, for over them all nature has
already spread the memorials of her
love. They have received the benedlc.
ton of her sunhsine and her tears and
above them her vines and grasses have
spread the mantle of immortality.
The Civil war ended long ago, and
but a remnant of the grand army OF
veterans remain. Those spared to
l1fe's activities are worn by the
ravages of time and weakened by
wounds and disease. Soon will the
lone survivor be gathered to the silent
SA~N
boys IN blue become but a memory.
Other lips anu other hands will per-
form the service of love and decora-
t1on that belongs to the heritage of
the soldier. But the army OF the
soldier dead Will be with US as long as
patriotism swells the heart. Its
camp fires burn as long as liberty lives.
Time enriches their memories. and to
the farthest day the heroes who gave
their lives for their country will be
honored by grateful posterity.
1t is fitting that we should on one
day of each year lay aside our &C.
customed duties and join with our
fellow citizens in appropriate
memorial to the patllot dead; there
fore, 1, John A. johnson, governor Of
Minnesota, hereby designate Monday,
May 81, 1909, to be public holiday,
ana ask that the significance Of the
day be commemorated.

REGULATE SALE OF WALL EYED
81 PIKE

ing for sale OF wall eyed pike caught
in any lake or waters Of this state
which have been stocked or may here
after be stocked by pike fry by the
state fish and game commission. saws
the Brainerd Dispatch. The penalty
provided is fine of from $40 to $50
and costs, or imprisonment of 10 to so
days.
The law, according to those in
position to know will render it both
easier and harder to enforce the laws
at present. It will OF course be
necessary to show IN what lake pike
are caught IN order to convict, but it
will not be necessary to prove that
they were caught with net or spear.
The same law imposes like penalty
on having wall eyed pike IN ones
possession outside of the open season.
