WHICH MEANS THE BEGINNING
OF RRuNswIcK's LITTLE AID.
ERMANIc CONTEST WHICH WILL
OCCUR NEXT MONTH.

A general revival of business con-
ditions all over the city has been the
means of causing a little talk of the
coming municipal election next month
! in which four aldermen are to be
elected to the city council to sue
ceed Aldermen Calnan, Ludwig Tay-
lor and McGarvey, whose terms ex-
| pire with the conclusion of this year.
| While a number of names of promt-
nent business men have been men
toned for places in the aldermanic
board it would be unfair to them to
refer to them without their consent.
| The general idea seems to be that
| the progressive element of Bruns-
wick's citizens will get together at a
reasonably early time and select four
good men for the four places to be
made vacant on the board without re-
spect to political affiliation, past, pres
ent or future. II is also rumored
that the friends of the so-called
"steam rolling big five" WILL in op-
position to this movement, nominate
four men in sympathy with thai ele-
ment in council. The registration
books for the city primary will open
at the city hall on Monday morning
at 10 o'clock and under the law will
remain open until the first Monday
in November. A great many pro-
gressive moves are contemplated for
the city next year and Brunswick is
mere deeply interested than ever in
the question of aldermanic timer
The city needs broad minded bust
ness men who will favor all safe, pub
lie measures, the betterment Of the
public schools and safe and sane
policy along all general public lines.

whereupon the game came to a sud-
den ending. Two of the negroes were
captured while the third jumped off

though a watch was kept for him he
failed to come out at any Of the land

NEW BOAT ON UPPER MISSOURI.
Launching Of the Baby Rose Expected
to Help Country's Settlement.

Fort Benton.-The completion Of
the steamboat Baby Rose at this point
has revived interest in navigation on
the upper Missouri. It is expected
the boat will do a good business on
the four hundred and more miles Of
the river between this place and Cul.
bertson, and materially aid in the set
Element of much land which has been
difficult of access.
A long stretch Of the river lies.
about equidistant from the Northern
Pacific on the south and the Great
Northern on the north, and the con-
formation of the country is such that
it is not probable railroad will soon
enter it. There is much valuable land
along the river which will no doubt
be taken If river communication is,
again restored.
The Baby Rose is II feet long, stern
wheel, eighty horsepower. She is
built with very little superstructure,
in order to avoid the danger of heavy
wind. 1t is proposed to use her prin.
cipally for towing barges.

EIGHT HOUR DAY ON FARM
STATISTICS SHOW THAT FARMER
DOES NOT GET UP AT DAWN.
And ~ Cents Worth Of Food Every
Day Is Living High, According to
Government Figures.

Washington, July 23.-No longer
does the tired farmland tumble out
of bed at 4 a. M, with the prospect
of sixteen hours work before retiring
at least not in Minnesota. Farm
hands in Minnesota have practically
an eight-hour day, according to the
department Of agriculture.
Not only that, but the up-to-date
farmland lives off the fat of the land,
the statistics showing he eats daily
food which costs on the farm AZ
cents. He eats $12.65 worth every
Notwithstanding country costs and
not city prices. 1t is figured by the
department of agriculture that this
is living high.
A bulletin just issued by the depart
ment deals with the work of state ex-
pertinent stations. In Minnesota an
important, although somewhat unusu-
al line of investigation has been car
ried on relating to hours of labor on
farms, wages paid hands, and the cost
of living for farmers.
Investigation of farm wages in four
localities for the years 19O4-19O7
showed that the average wage paid
during the crop season april to No
vember, inclusive), a little over $26
a month, or 1877 cents an hour, and
the average for the other four months
is $14 month or 112 cents an hour,
the hours of labor being much shorter
in winter. The wages paid are not in
addition to board, the cost of which
has been added to the wages actually
paid.
The hours of labor in three local.
ties during six years were found to
average for all months of the year SO
hours for week days with three hours
work on Sundays.
Studies of the cost of living showed
that in Minnesota the average farm
family uses annually farm produce
worth $22297, groceries and fuel
costing $170.89, and house furnishings
costing $3257, while the value of the
women's labor involved is $216.66, and
that of men and horses $57.74, making
a total cost of $700.S3 per family
year. OF this $203.35 represents the
actual cash outlay for supplies, to
which must be added whatever wages
may be paid to hired women, the bal
ance representing the produce of the
farm and the labor of the family.
The average cost of tho board of
hands was found to be $12.65 a month
or AZ cents day.
