The Bjorge bill for placing a ton
mage tax on iron ore passed the
House last week. and the people of
the state will watch the outcome
closely. St. Louis county is making
hard fight against the passage of
the bill on the ground that it is spec
ial legislation, and as the champions
of the measure had only two votes
to spare in the final ballot, its final
passage in the senate is by no means
assured.
Hutchinson Leader: Choice farms
near Hutchinson are gilt edged prop
erty. This fact is illustrated by the
sale of E. H. Groshung's 68 acre
piece southwest of this city fer
$4,000. or nearly 1874 per acre. The
purchaser is Soren Sorenson, who
only recently sold his 7O-acre farm,
three miles north of Hutchinson, for
$3.50, or S83 per acre. With the
rapid improvement of farm land in
this section by tile draining the time
is right close at hand when a place
with good buildings will be hard to
get a $1O0.
Litchfeld Independent: The AL
bert Lea cooperative creamery is
investigating the scheme of con-
Quoting a laundry in connection with
the creamery but in a separate
building The farmers wife in such
case could send in her weeks wash
with the load Of milk. The cream
cry has lifted quite a burden from
the farm housewife by relieving her
of the drudgery of butter making,
and now if the washings can also be
eliminated, the women will have
nothing to do but get a meal now
and then and attend the aid societies
in the afternoon.
Luverne Herald: At the regular
meeting of the board of education
Monday evening, Prof. j. L. Torrens
was reelected superintendent of the
city schools for the coming school
year and given substantial increase
in salary. The present is Mr.. Tor
rens' first year of work in Luverne
and it has been one of the most sue
cessful years in the history Of the
schools. The schools are in every
way in eminently satisfactory con-
dition, and the board of education
and patrons of the schools are to be
congratulated upon having secured
Mr.. Torrens' services.
The Osceola Sun: There never
was a truer saying than that town
is judged by its newspapers. If it
is crowded with advertisements, let
not the subscriber find fault, but re-
jolce and be exceedingly glad, be-
cause it denotes live and prosper
Gus community. The town and sur
rounding country are mutually in
terested in the progress, because
both share in the advancement. Let
merchants keep the advertising col
umns of the local paper we'll filled
and the community will do their
part in the general prosperity by
placing their patronage where ii
will do the most good"
At the recent meeting of the town
board of Lime township, Blue Earth
county, it was voted to bury the fish
which are dying in large numbers in
Eagle Lake, and according to the
Mankato Review this step was
thought necessary to safeguard the
health Of the residents along the
shores of the lake. 1t is feared that
the stencil will be unbearable should
these fish be left on the shore until
the weather becomes warm. The
dying of the fish is attributed to the
fact that during the recent heavy
snow fall the holes in the ice were
all covered. A thaw followed and
ice then formed between the snow
and ice, thus shutting out the entire
supply of air. 1t is said that the
fish are dead in thousands.
