ton, yet on the outside there has
been general comment on the subject,
and many feel that 1t is only mat
ter of time before that city will event

ors do not feel that way, however and
seem to be wide awake to the baseball
situation. Already efforts are being
made to retain Boyle as manager.
The attendance during tho past sea-
son has also been very good. Speak
ing Of local affair the Courier says:
Enthusiastic and determined fans
met In the city hall last evening to
canvass the situation for the coming
year and the greatest satisfaction was
expressed that the team this year had
made the showing it has, all things
considered. Among the important
actions taken was the appointment OF
delegates to attend the annual meet
ing of the Central association to be
held between the oath inst. and Oct.
/, and the passage of motion to the
effect that the. board OF directors and
officers of the association enter into
negotiations with Frank Boyle look
ing to the retention Of the gentleman
as manager for the coming season.
No doubt was expressed that Wa
terloo would be in the circuit next
year.
The meeting was called to order by
Henry Junge, president of the local
association and IN the absence OF
Secretary Fred Ratb on motion e.
R. Moore acted as &ecretary. After
consideration of minor matters the
motion was made by G. A. Smith that
the officers of the local association
enter into negotiations with Frank

manage the team for the coming
year. This motion received half q

Burlington is the 1909 pennant
champion The season was brought
to a close Sunday afternoon through
out the circuit, the results failing to
alter the position of the clubs as given
in Sunday mornings Gate City.
Keokuk was unfortunate enough to
lose the last two games of the season
and finish in third place. The race
between the three leaders has been
extremely close during the past
months and the victory was in doubt
until the last few days. Big celebra-
itions have followed the seasons ter
mination Kewanee is we'll satisfied
with the showing OF the team and in
recognition rendered the Kewanee and
Keokuk teams sumptuous banquet
last evening following the games
The Indians dropped the first by the
score of 3 to 2. Both teams continued
the hitting which characterized the
first two games between the clubs,
and although Keokuk outhit the home
club no victory came our way. Prough
was on the mound and got away badly
in the first inning, permitting the
visitors to score two runs. After that
he was practically invincible. Noe
for the home club was touched up for
ten hits. but perfect fielding by his
team mates prevented further scores.
In the second game Burch was hit
when hits counted runs, while Grimes
for Kewanee allowed but four hits.
Many fans in the city seem pleased
that the keokuk team did not win the
pennant, although they boosted the
club at all stages of the game. They
figure that many a town has seeming
fly lost interest the years following
unless the performance could be du-
tplicated, while club which has never
won a championship is constantly
fighting for the flag with renewed in

the team in third place, but he was
only few points behind the leaders

Congress is now laboring with the
tariff problem, and Incidental to
the problem of keeping up the ne
cessary revenues for the expenses of
the nation, tax on inheritances is
finding supporters all over the coun-
try Both Mr.. Roosevelt and Presi-
dent Taft have expressed themselves
in favor of such tax. and if con-
gress could frame one that would
make evaSions impossible for the
multi -millionaires, it would do much
to improve the taxation situation.
England raised a hundred million
dollars in this way IN 1907, with a
graduated tax reaching high as
Is per cent on estates of over fifteen
millions. This ought to help reduce
swollen fortunes to healthy dimen-
siOns, but the wealthy are finding
ways to dodge the tax by distribut-
ing their wealth to their heirs be-
fore death. In Minnesota the law
starts at Il per cent on requests OF
from ten to twenty thousand dollars
and end, at per cent on amounts
of over 100000.

The new legislative apportionment
bill as ordered by the senate COM
mittee and drawn up by their clerk,
o. L. Dornberg Of this city, provides
for so senators, a reduction of Is,
and 121 representatives, an increase
of two over the present apportion-
ment. No important changes are
recommended in sthis part of the
state. Redwood and Brown counties
are districted as before, with rep
resentative for each county. Rem.
vile county is joined with Sibley as
a senatorial district instead of Rem
vile having a senator and two rep
resentatives as heretofore. Lyon,
Lincoln and Yellow Medicine are
joined together as a senatorial dis
trict with representative for each
county, which may help some in solv-
ing the jealousies in those counties
over having two-thirds of a senator
apiece. The representation for the
large cities remains as at present.
Just what the ultimate fate of the
bill will be cannot be safely predict
ed, but the few changes outlined
above would appear to be for the
better.

The South Dakota pure food COM
missioner says the reason the law
requiring statement of the formula
of stock foods to be printed on the
label was passed was because some
of the stock food concerns were
buying the screenings from the
grain that farmers donated to grain
buyers, ground it, added salt and a
little sulphur and charcoal and sold
it at the rate of $24O a ton. The
stock food people are trying to evade
the law by labelling their mixtures
proprietary medicines" after be-
ing defeated in an effort to have the
law declared illegal.

Of our farmers and tell them to
prospective settlers here? Redwood
county farm lands on this basis
would range from SIS to $500 per
acre instead of S35 per acre or less
as they now stand. If all of our
farms were handled to the same
advantage that a few are, farm
values would double in two years.
Eastern and southern farmers and
investors would flock in. Stories
similar to the western tales would
be carried home and our young men
would be trying to get few acres
of Redwood county land instead Of
selling out and going west.
1t can be done. Don't let us give
in any longer to a discouraging con-
dition caused by a few wet years.
Let our western friends be subject

Farmers who have missed livestock
the past winter should be on the
lookout now that the snowdrifts are
diminishing rapidly. Pigs, turkeys
and geese have been reported by
our enterprising contemporaries as
emerging from snowdrifts all about
us and resuming the even tenor of
barnyard existence, after two or
three months devoted to rumination
in the interior of a snowdrift. Not
to be outdone, The Gazette would
be glad to report something unusual
in this line. 1t must be borne in
mind that this enforced Information
greatly diminishes the bulk of ami
mails, and according to Cliff Eaton's
discoveries, a two-year old steer
would be reduced by this absent
treatment to the size of a jack-rabbit

Fair Play for Northern Minnesota.

ED. GAZETTE: Being an old resi-
dent of Redwood county and know
ing some of the political sentiments
of that section of the state, | take
the liberty to appeal to the people
of that part of the state through
the columns of your paper for fair
play for the northern part Of our
commonwealth. A measure has
been brought before the legislature
by Rep. Opsahl, proposing that the
state make some provision to furnish
the counties in the burned over dis
trict of the timber land with dyna-
mite at cost, which would mean
about 7 cents per ID. at present.
This measure may not seem very
important to the southern part of
the state and powerful interests will
be at work against it, but for the
struggling farmer in the timber dis
tricts it means strong saving which
can only be fully understood by men
who are acquainted with timber
land. However, you can form some
idea, when you realize that it takes
on an average from so to 100 pounds
Of dynamite to blow the stumps on
an acre. We, here in the north, ask
that you help us in this case. We
ask no gift or expense from the
state. You have your twine at cost
and we helped you get it. Now
help us in return. The struggling
settler here in the timber needs a
lift more than eyer you did on the
prairie. HANS NELSON.

SMUT TREATMENT.
Furnished by the Minnesota Farmers
Institutes, St. Anthony Park, Mimi.

Dat smut and sinking smut Of
wheat are prevented by treating the
seed grain. The oat smut is easily
seen, as it causes all kernels in
head of oats to turn black, the
spores Of the smut taking the place
of the oat kernels. The sinking
smut of wheat, or bunt. is not so
easily seen unless the kernel is brok-
en- open. The spores of these smuts
do not live over in the soil, bit are
carried from one year to the next
on the surface of the seed grain.
These grains may be treated suffi-
GENTLY to kill the smut spores with
out injury to the grain for seed pur-
poses.
t'ormaline treatment: Formaline
may be bought at any drug store at
from Is to SO cents per pint or pound.
1t is liquid. One pint of formaline
added to As gallons Of water makes
sufficient solution to treat 60 to Is
bushels of oats, or 80 to 100 bushels
of wheat. Grain should be thor
oughly famed before treating. 1t
is just necessary to yet the seeds
moistened with the solution. There
are machines manufactured for the
purpose or the grain may be spread
on tight floor and the solution
sprinkled on with a sprinkling can.
The grain should be shoveled over in
the meantime to make sure that all
seeds are moistened. Shovel up in
pile and throw blanket or some
sacks over so the fumes of the form
aline may kill any spores that were
missed by the liquid. Treat IL to
20 hours before sowing. Treat sacks
drill box and other receptacles in
which the grain is handled. The
solution causes the grain to swell
slightly, hence it is necessary to op-
en- the drill / to J bushel per acre
wider.
Barley smut and loose smut Of
wheat: These two smuts are plainly
seen in the field when the grain is
just heading out. The smut is car
ried from one crop to the next in
the seed, but the spores are evident
" within the kernels of grain, hence

WEDNESDAY, MARCH "a, 1909.

The Minnesota legislature was last
week struggling over various propo-
sitions to amend taxation laws, one
of the principal measures being the
Dalzell bill providing for listing all
property at full value and assessing
it at 40 per cent. This was first de-
feated in the house and afterwards
reconsidered and made special order
for today. D. A. Stuart, formerly
of this county, offered an amend
ment proposing that ore lands be
assessed at 60 per cent, personal
property and city real estate at so
per cent, and farm lands at 40 per
cent, which, after a spirited debate,
was lost.

Hutchinson Leader from Rock
Springs, Wyoming, says: eve have
had very severe winter this year
so far and prospects for more of it.
The snow in the northern country is
so deep that the wild game has all
come to the neighboring ranches
and more especially the elk make
themselves so familiar around the
hay stacks that guards have become
necessary to keep them from eating
up all the hay. There are $4,000
head south of Jackson's Hole, all
starving. Sheep are also suffering,
the ground being covered too heavi-
ly with snow, feeding hay being
necessary. Losses are very heavy"
