Honorable Menslon)
Dear Aunt Laurie:
MY greatest ambition is to be a
M statesman. and try to have a
great deal to do with Kidding the
world OF its slums and poverty. I
would like to mako every man equal
in respect to life, liberty and the pur-
suit OF happiness Men cannot be equal
in all respects, but they can and should
have equal opportunities. To do this
we must give everybody an equal foot
ing on the earth, which b the source
OF production
to live; Il follows that he has right
TO the source Of lffe-the earth.
The single tax" Is a proposition to
concentrate all taxes on the land
values or rent, all personal property
and improvements upon the land being
exempt. This is q very simple thing.
and the question Is will IL result In
giving to all an equal opportunity and
abolish poverty
see on every hand in our beautiful
city empty lots II from the holders
of these lots were required the full
amount Of possible rent as taxes the
market price OF these lots would 20 to
zero, and the holders would be COM
PEELED by the taxes they had to pay to
either improve or use thems or give
them up. to be taken by those who
could and would improve them The
result of this would Immediately create
great demand for labor.

Exact Science.

During this week couple of gentle
men connected with the Department of
Commerce and Labor who are officials
of the Geodetic and Coast Survey, have
been here with many valuable instru-
ments making observations. They ex-
pect to finish their work here by Satur-
day night and leave on Sunday morning
To the lookeron it is an example of inf
mite pains to get exact results. They
have constructed small house near the
school house, in which they have erect
ed a large concrete baselfrom the ground
about three feet high for large teles-
cope. In the basement of the school
building they have also built an enclos-
ed room in which they have pendulums
and other instruments also mounted on
concrete bases.
The business of these gentlemen, in
general is to note and measure the force
of gravity and the variation of the. COM
pass, To measure force of gravity they
have three specially constructed pendu-
lums which are so finely made that they
will swing fourteen Or more hours with
an impulse of half inch without any
further force being applied to them.
Each pendulum is made to swing six
teen hours or forty-eight hours in all,
and the time they swing is measured by
observations Of the stars with the teles:
cope. The results are determined to the
millionth part Of second.
The general objects Of the work Of the
survey are the very important charting
of the coast lines, the depth q coast wa.
tiers, and all such matters connected with
the safety Of ships which sail along the
shores. Inland they find the exact loca
ton of prominent objects, ike bounda1,
lines, mountains, cities etc. - well as ell
evations. b. "a 4

RENv1LLE-At his home in Pembina, on
Sunday, October 3rd, 1909, Jean Bap.
tiste Renville, aged, SO years.
In the death of Mr.. Renville, one of
the few remaining links of the early orr
ginal inhabitants of this section is brok-
en-. He was direct descendant of one
of the younger generation of the Metis
who hunted the buffalo and trapped and
hunted other animals for their furs,
which they sold to the Hudson Bay Co.,
up to about fifty years ago. His uncle
was one of the leaders of those simple
hearted people, and for whom the form
or Renville county in this state was nam
ed, and Remville county, Minnesota was
also named to perpetuate the memory
of the same family. Mr.. Renville's faith
er died when he was young. He was q
mail carrier over the wilderness of prai-
RE, from here to Fort Abercombria for
long time, and not arrieing from one of
his trips search was made and he was
found dead in his wayside camp, having
died alone from natural causes.
Personally Mr.. Renville was genial and
kindly. He was friend to all who knew
him. Many expressions of regret and
sympathy for the aged widoW are made
by our citizens. He leaves son, j. B.
Jr. with whom he has made his home.
