Would Save TuberCulOus Cattle.

Responding to a suggestion in this
paper last week, a Gazette reader
calls attention to recent editorial
article on Fighting Bovine Tubercu-
losis. in the Good Health magazine,
by DR. j. H. Kellogg, which says that
1t IS encouraging to note that state
authorities are waking up to a rec
ognltlon of the necessity of begin
ming an energetic warfare against
tuberculosis in mich COWS and other
cattle. 1t commends recent amend
ments of the law in New York which
provide, among other things, for
giving tubercular cattle, when dis
covered, chance for their lives.
Instead of being at once slaughter
ed, they are to be segregated, kept
outdoors, given improved conditions
of life in other regards, and by
every possible means aided to re-
covery. The discovery that the dis
ease is definitely and quite promptly
durable in human beings when right
conditions are supplied, has led to
the application of the same measures
to cattle, and the experimental eff
forts which have been made in this
direction have been eminently sue
cessful, not only in this country but
in other countries where this system
has been regularly in use for some
time" The doctors strongly OBJ
jects, however, to the use of the
milk of such animals in pasteurized
or other form while under treatment
for the disease.
The doctor writes that it is i'm
portant to bear in mind that a tu-
berculous cow is an unhealthy ami
NAL, not only as regards the condi-
ton of the lungs, but as regards
every organ and function of the
body. I'm other words, a tubercu-
lous animal is always sick and de-

$4,000 to Drain Redwood Lands.

Auditor Larson received last week
a check for S35, 900, state school
funds loaned the county for ditch
No. 10 at a per cent. Previous to
this the county has been fortunate
in securing $45 900 in school money
to finance other ditching enterprises
making $4,000 of 4 per cent loans,
in addition to $4,000 borrowed at
5 per cent interest to finance various
drainage projects in this county, or
S120, 900 loaned at low interest,r rates
towards permanent improvements
on the farm lands in Redwood coun-
ty. These figures look pretty large
to the landowners who will ulti-
mately pay the cost of redeeming
their farms from excess water, but
in the end the productiveness and
increase in market price of the large
area of lands affected will bring big
returns on the investment, And
incidentally, the larger part of the
money will be spent in Redwood
county for laborers and material

for $4,000. If justice were done the
tax on this real estate would be pro
rata. But | pay the total tax on the
real estate purchased with the
$4,000. Then there is tax on the
$4,000 mortgage. making total tax
able valuation of $4,000. Hence
$4,000 must be taxed double.
This is the way our present law
would work in this case. | would
pay the tax on the real estate repre-
sented by my investment, would pay
the tax on real estate represented
by mortgages investment. and
would pay the registry tax on the
mortgage, making triple tax on
my investment.
Is it any wonder that so many of
our young men and home builders
are leaving the state for Canada and
other states, when our legislature
imposes such burdensome taxes up
on them at home?
Yet | understand that our repre-
sentatives in the legislature are u.s.
ing their influence to retain this I'M
just law on our statute books. The
promoters of this law claim for it
that it brings large revenue into
our treasury. But you have only
to ask your banker to find out who
pays this large revenue.
| believe that all taxes on mort
cages ought to be eliminated. 1t
would tend to give us a lower rate
rate of interest and would attract
capital seeking investment to our
state. This in turn would stimulate
business enterprise and encourage
our citizens to buy homes in our
own state.
What we need, it seems to me, is
to get together and discuss questions
which are of so much interest to us
all. Then we could advise our rep
resentatives IN the legislature as to
our needs. w. N. CARTER.

SLEEPY EYE LOSES MILL FORCE.
Offices and Selling Force of Is Move
to Minneapolis,
Evening Journal:

Evening Journal
The Sleepy Eye Milling company,
which operates a flour mill of $500
barrels daily capacity at Sleepy Eye.
Mimi, will move its offices to Mime
apolis next month, bringing in a
working force of twenty-five people.
Eventually it is believed the entire
plant will be moved here.
The Sleepy Eye company, pending
financial reorganization, is now OPP
Grating under receivership. Louis
K. Hull of Minneapolis is receiver.
Mr.. Hull is in Sleepy Eye today.
Officers of the company in Sleepy
Eye confirm the report that the Of
fees Of the company will be moved
to Minneapolis.
Besides the flour mill, the compa-
ny has a number of other business
lines, and is one of the largest coun-
try milling concerns in the north
west. A. c.. VonHagen has been it's
president for number of years.
The company is widely known in
the east and has maintained selling
offices at Boston, Baltimore. New
York, Philadelphia. Scranton, Pa,
and Youngstown, Ohio.
The moving of the company's Of
fees would be in line with the gener-
al trend of the past several years in
which some of the largest of the
country millers, owning plants at
various points in Minnesota and the
Dakotas, now maintain general
headquarters here. The moving Of
the plant here is matter for later
consideration, but it may come
about because Of the handicap of
present location from standpoint of
shipping facilities and the obtaining
of raw material.
A dispatch from Sleepy Eye says
that the change means an irrepar-
able loss to that city Of many thous
and dollars in the year. Free mail
delivery will unquestionably be dis
continued and receipts at the post
office go down rapidly after the re-
mOval.
Referring to the removal the
Herald says that the loss of $4,000
yearly receipts will not hurt Sleepy
Eye any. The loss of the distribu-
ton of at least $4,000 per year in
the homes of laborers in this place
don't look we'll to any Of US poor
mortals. Your taxes will be higher
and your real estate cheaper"

The campaign for Sunkist oranges
is on and our grocers will have the
goods this week. At this time of
the year. when what to eat is often
a problem for everybody, the orange
is a pretty good solution. If people
would eat more fruit and less meat
at this season of the year they would
suffer less from spring fever. Speed
the day when oranges can be rushed
from the orchards to the consumer
all the time by the carload, as has
been done this week. Oranges do
not improve with age.

HOW TO BUILD
NEW ARMORY
Various Plans Advocated, But
Co. l. Men Bound to
Have a Home.
Citizens Given Option to Build
and Rent to Company
if Desired.

A conference of representatives
of Co. l. and a few business men
talked over the problem of how best
to take up the building of the pro-
posed armory, last Monday night.
The militia boys are only anxious to
keep their organization going, main
tanning that without an armory it
will be impossible to keep the COM
pany recruited up and fully alive,
and that they are willing to either
rent from the city or do the build
ing themselves, with the assistance
Of the citizens. AS only few of the
business men were present, no defin-
ate action was taken, but it was the
conclusion Of those present that a
meeting should be called and an ex-
preston invited from the citizens as
to the ACCESSIBILITY of Incorporating
with the armory project city hall
or auditorium for popular gather
ings and Offices for city officials as
we'll as company rooms for the mill
tia and G. A. r. organizations. Com
pany L will be able to pay 5000 a
year for the use of the building, or
such parts as they need. only re-
curing the drill hall occasionally.
The main advantage of city owner
ship would be the facility for secur-
ing a building loan at low interest.
1t is proper to add. that some of
the members of Co. L do not favor
bonding the city, but say with a lit
tie financial help from citizens who
are ready to take a small amount of
stock in the enterprise, the company
can put up an armory that will meet
their needs, without any increase in
taxation.

Concluding a judicial article in the
Renville Union, concerning the re-
cent license fight in that city, the
editor says: The temperance SEN
timent was more pronounced even
in defeat, than with victory, last
year. The saloon business is becom-
ing more unpopular each year. One
reason for this in the country towns
is the opposition of the farming
community. The farmers have
come to see the menace it is to their
boys. The sentiment among them
is strong for county option, and
when it comes to electing a govern
or and legislature in the next cam
paign, county option will be an is
sue to be met. When you see cities
like Redwood Falls and Renvile
coming within nine and eighteen
votes, respectively, of voting the sa-
loon out this year, and the temper
ance sentiment strong all over the
country it is easy to see the dry
territory spread in this section in
the near future"

Registry Tax on Mortgages Unjust.

CHAUTAUQUANS
TO ORGANIZE
Meeting to be Held at Library
Building Friday Night
as Starter.
Old Settlers Re-Union One of
the Attractive Features
Proposed.

A popular meeting has been called
for next Friday evening, for the
purpose of organizing Chautauqua
association to manage affairs the
coming season.
An important proposition has been
made for a reunion of the oldsettlers
of the Minnesota valley on the day
preceding the opening Of the sum-
mer Chau tauqua assembly.
H. M. Hitchcock first advanced
this suggestion and it seems to have
much to commend it. The large
Chautauqua tent would insure COM
fort and ample space for a large
company, and Redwood Falls is cen
trally located to entertain the pion-
GERS all the way from Big Stone to
St. Peter. If the people of this city
will begin now to plan for such a
meeting, there is no doubt Of max
ing it a successful and interesting
occasion. 1t all depends upon an
early and efficient organization and
it is none too soon to take the first
steps now.
Come out to the citizens meeting
at the library building next Friday
evening if you are interested in hav-
ina a successful Chautauqua season
ancb Alping to advertise the city
+ tn a gathering of Minnesota
4Dioneers.

Architect Stevens, while here last
Monday to advise with the commits
sloners regarding the acceptance of
the county home, was consulted by
members of the library board as to
the best way to correct the leaks in
the roof Of the library building. Mr..
Stevens pointed out a plan for over
coming the trouble, and expressed
the opinion that the slate roof was
good one, if proper means were
provided for getting the water off
the roof at the cornices. The library
board will undoubtedly have the

First Death at County Farm.

Thos. Keenon. an unfortunate vic
tim of disease who was brought to
the county home by Commissioner
McCorquodale about five weeks ago,
and has been in "a precarious- condi-
ton ever since, secured his release
from trouble last Monday morning,
through the portals of death. He
came originally from Illinois. was a
single man and apparently had no
near relatives to take an interest in
his welfare. He gave his age at So,
and from what is known of his his
tory, his breakdown was at least
fastened by an appetite for strong
drink. The remains were taken to
the local cemetery Monday, after a
brief service at the Home.

DIPLOMATS RECALL
ALGEClRAS AFFAIR

The crisis in Spain. where people are
rloting and raising a great dust because
OF the unpopularity Of the war against
the Moroccan MOOrs. has recalled to
Washington diplomats the circumstances
which preceded the Alseciras conven-
ton Of the powers TWO years ago.
The fun part which the United States
PLAYED in that affair is little popularity
known as yet, and probably il will he
a number Of years before all the facts
can be given TO the world.
But diplomats all over the world and
chauceIleries everywhere now know
that the initiative Of President Roose-
Welt started the move which made the
Algeciras convention possible. and that
that initiative was taken at just the
right moment to avert q war which
might have involved most OF Europe
The situation as between Germany
and France was more tense than il had
been at any ether time since the Fran
CO-GeTman WaT-hOW tense only the
men in charge of International politics
realized War might have come as a
mere matter Of hours bat for the
Roosevelt move to have d conference
and talk IL over. Delay was the one
thing necessary 10 save the peace, and
ROOSevelrs move made delay possible.
The United States had to participate
In the convention by reason OF Mr..
Roosevelts initiation Of the gathering
and that caused huge row IN lnis
country, because Of traditional dniasO-
