1t is safe to say there is not a shipper
in the west who does not prefer to sell his
stock at the western market. Analysis Of
receipts at the larger markets confirm this
assertion. Before touching that point, now
ever, let us keep in mind that a fair esti-
mate of what it costs shippers west Of the
Missouri, in shrinkage alone, to go to east

need causelittle surprise that Chicago shows

D. MCNaughton Buys Tyson Residence.

David McNaughton of Delhi was
in the city last Monday, with his
family, looking over several houses
offered for sale here, the result be-
ing the purchase of the best resi-
dence property in the city offered,
from the point of view Of a perma-
nent home. The house referred to
has been the home of Joseph Tyson
and family for quite a number of
years, but was maintained in good
repair and kept up as modern home
in almost every particular. With
all rooms on one floor aside from the
roomy basement, situated on the
lake shore, within two blocks of the
high school building and with plenty
of breathing space in three acres of
lawn, grove and garden, it seemed
well worth the price, $4,000, and
with Mr.. and Mrs. Tyson contemp-
lating their removal, we are pleased
to know that his home property is
to be kept up by such thorough 60
ing and worthy citizens as Mr.. and
Mrs. McNaughton are known to be.

Redwood COunty's Peanut Crop.

Mrs. Orson Wells, living on the old
Henry Charter place, south of the
city limits, brought in a novel bou-
quet last week-a sheaf of vines
with the roots covered with pea
nuts. Last spring she thought it
might be worth while to experiment
in raising peanuts, and securing
some peanuts from the south, plant
ed them much the same as beans are
put into the ground with the result
that the peanuts came up in good
shape and when dug last week, were
found to have plenty of the "goob-
ers''' hanging to their roots. The
crop will be about a bushel, and
larger tract will be planted to them
next year. Mrs. Wells bought a
bunch of old newspapers to wrap
up her cabbage heads in, and in
formed us that she had been able in
this way to have good cabbage
heads as late as decoration day.

Up-HiII Drainage Job.

Commissioner Posi- was at the
court house Monday and reported
that work was to be resumed on the
Willow Lake ditch on that day and
that the contractors expected to
get the water off of most of the land
to be benefited before the winter
closes down. Mr.. Posi- is decidedly
skeptical about the ditch doing all
that Engineer Book claims it will
do, and says that the county COM
missioners are getting a good many
verbal bouquets in that connection
that really belong to the engineer
whom the petitioners insisted put
ing on the job. So far, the Willow
Lake job has been the most unsatis-
factory drainage project in the
county, according to common report.

Redwood County's School Money.

The October distribution of school
funds in this county gives $500 for
each pupil entitled to apportionment
the total number being 1886 and the
amount S14,515 20, as against 1867
pupils drawing money last March
when the apportionment was only
S2.O1 per pupil. Auditor Larson has
not received the cash from the state
for distribution, but the statement
has been published that the state
will make considerable saving this
year in the matter of exchange by
having the county treasurer pay out
the money direct, but if this is done,
the money will not be sent out until
after the November settlements are
made.

those who value good reading in

getting The Gazette for nothing.
This reduction can only be explained
by the eagerness of the magazines
to get record circulation estab-
lished at any cost. for the value it
will bring to them in advertising

Their October Meeting.

The Mormons and Koreans re-
ceived the attention of the Presby-
terrain Women's Missionary society
last Wednesday afternoon, at their
meeting held at the manse. Mrs.
Robert Stewart was the capable
leader for the day. The textbook
of the year, "The Nearer and Earth
er East was finished, the closing
field described being Korea After
the review of the chapter by the
leader, in which Mesdames John
Stewart. Dolliff and Rosendahl as
sisted, Mrs. Chambers told some
thing of the Presbyterian missions
in Korea and the character of the
Christian natives of that country.
Their zeal, self-denial and labors in
behalf of the Master puts to shame
the half hearted work of most Chris
tians in America. Most Of them
earn but twenty cents day, still
much of the church work is support
ed by them.

gram was the most pathetic story
of a Mormon woman who had been
led into plural marriage without

Weddings This Week.

The Gazette was guilty of little
too much haste to the wedding last
week, in repeating from current
rumor the announcement of the
marriage of Byron Whittet and Miss
Mildred Wetmore for last Wednes-
day. We learn from the officiating
clergyman that the true date is to-
day, the ceremony to be celebrated
at the Wetmore home southwest of
this city at the hour of $50. Rev.
Sackyille M. Smith will join the hap
Ply pair in marriage, and their i'm

grace the occasion with their pres
ence and give Mr.. and Mrs. Byron
Whittet a good start in welded life.

One of our up-country exchanges
made the mistake of stating, last
week, that Maj. Gailbraith, in COM
mand of the cavalry squad of the
4th U. S. Cavalry which passed
through here recently, was the same
officer who distinguished himself in
the Indian campaign of '62, in de-
tense of Fort Ridgeley. AS that
period was forty-seven years ago.
Maj. Gailbraith would obviously
have been placed on the retired list
years ago, but as matter of fact, the
vigorous officer in command of the
cavalry practice march is son of
Major Galbraith, senior, and was a
boy old enough to remember accom-
panying his father when the latter
was in command at the Lower Agen-
cy. The Morton Enterprise says
that the Major took great pleasure
in reviewing the scenes of his boy
hood in company with Jerry Patten,
during the stay of the troops in
Morton.
Captain Scherer, the next ranking
officer of this expedition, also found
himself in a friendly country on this
expedition. The captain was form
err New Ulm boy and Policeman
Lauterbach remembers him as a
school boy when New Uim was
some years younger than it is today.
At Echo Capt. Scherer was enter
tanned by Mrs. Voss, his sister, at a
duck dinner, and the Enterprise has
the following account of visit
made to the expedition while in
camp the evening following the day
on which they passed through Red
wood Falls:
Through the courtesy of Mrs
Voss and daughters, Mrs. Hughes
was invited to visit the camp on the
Yellow Medicine where the fourth
regiment of cavalry were to be
found on FRIDAY last, camping for
the night in a picturesque valley
nesting meath the hills on the K. O.
Homme farm. The tented city was
already pitched and dinner was be-
ing served when the ladies arrived
at six o'clock. Capt. Scherer was
the object of their call, being a
brother of Mrs. Voss, and he gra-
ciously invited them to partake of
dinner. Though the menu of beef
steak, fried potatoes, onions, mush-
rooms, coffee and hot cakes was
tempting the ladies were content
with a souvenir of ''hard tack" as
something out of the ordinary for
them, though always to be found in
army life"

THE LURE OF
THE DOLLAR
Is Tempting Redwood County Farm
ers to Let Go of Lands at
Advancing Prices.

Farms have been selling in Red
wood county like hot cakes this fall.
Last week, for instance, we chron-
icled the sale of the j. A. johnson
farm in Delhi, which was sold to
David McNaughton through the
Crimmins agency, and since then
have been informed that the same
dealer sold the John Anderson farm
of 400 acres, also near Delhi, to Rev.
Newcomer of Carroll, Illinois. The
Hans Jensen farm near Delhi was
also sold the same week, by the
Gimmestad agency at Belview.
Another important transfer OF
valuable farm was closed early last
week by A. J. White of this city,
who sold the Dwight Bissell farm OF
$40 acres to DR.. M. G. Reynolds OF
Aledo, Ill.,. for S34, $50. This farm
is near the city and along the Red
wood river, and is splendid tract for
a home farm.
1t is noteworthy that most of the
sales this fall have been of our best
farms, Delhi seeming to be the most
attractive location of any. Not all
owners of our best farms are ready
to sell, however, even at the good
prices offered. We are told that A.
]. Sundine of Delhi was offered
$4,000 for his 600 acres and de-
clined it, and that N. w. Cobleigh
declined the tempting bait when re-
Gently offered S65 per acre for his
large tract west of this city.
That those who hold their land
are making no mistake is indicated
by the experience of Mr.. P. Cahal-
Ian, who bought the George King
land in Delhi six years ago and has
had the same farmed by good
renter, realizing as he states, through
good and bad seasons, eight per cent
on his investment and an increase in
the selling price Of at least SIS. per
acre on the 400 acres an "un-
earned increment" of $4,000. Mr..
Catalan has a we'll grounded faith
. that his land will be saleable at $75
per acre in very few years, and is
consequently in no hurry to let it go
as long as it is returning him good
interest on his investment as well as
rapidly approaching in value. The
principle items of his crop this year
were 5000 bushels of oats, $4,000
bushels of corn and about 1000
bushels of wheat and other small
grain in addition to the oats. A
considerable part of his land is pas
tured.
The fact that Messrs. McNaugh-
ton and John Stewart are buying
more land so soon after selling their
own farms shows that the farmers
selling are not dissatisfied with the
country.

A SNAP IN GOOD READING.
Two Splendid Magazines Are Offered
for the Price of One.

Those of our subscribers who ap-
preciate magazines which are truly
worth while can get two of the best,
the coming year, at the price of one.
Many of our lady readers already
know what Good Housekeeping is
one of the best aids to the house
keeper as we'll as the most interest
ing of any published. No better
Christmas present for man to make
to his wife, since he is sure of the
biggest kind of dividends in the food
menu of his daily meals and in num-
berless small economies suggested
to the readers of this, publication.
With this magazine is coupled the
American Magazine, which is the
best value we know of at $3.50 per
year. The American has won its
way into public favor by its whole
some Americanism and its educa-
tional articles on various phases of
American life. The articles of Ray
Stannard Baker alone are worth the
price of the magazine, and such
writer's as William Allen White, Mr..
Dooley, Ida Tarbell, Edward Gray
son and others contribute every
month to the solid worth of this
peerless monthly. Last month The
American began a series of articles
on "Barbarous Mexico" The title
sounds sensational, but when we
come to read the we'll attested story
of actual experience in our sister re-
public, we discover that the Mexican
system Of peonage and the Mexican
variety of political graft are so much
worse than anything we know Of this
side of the Mexican boundary. that
the title Of this series Of papers is
fully justified.
''The real Mexico | found to be a
country with a written constitution
and written laws as fair and demo-
cratic as our own, but with neither
constitution nor laws in operation.
Mexico is country without political
freedom, without freedom of speech,
without a free press, without a free
ballot, without a jury system, with
out political parties, without any of
our cherished guarantees Of life,
liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
