Eccentric Bachelor Farmer Arranges
Unique Service.
Springfield, o., Aug. 31.-Marion F.
Buf6enbarger, an eccentric bachelor
farmer living at Grape Grove, ten
miles south of here, had his funeral
sermon preached. The event took
place in the Christian church and the
unique event attracted hundreds from
miles around. .-
Buffenbarger's idea in arranging and
executing plans for the event was
that he could be sure that his funeral
would be conducted strictly as he
wished. He purchased a lot in the
Grape Grove cemetery three years
ago and week later ordered a coffin
from a Jamestown undertaken.
Buffenbarger personally superin-
tended the digging of his own grave
and has selected a plain tombstone.
Pursuant to- his request the minister,
DR.. Spahr, avoided the usual remarks
of adulation. The coffin was buried
and the crowd dispersed. II
Buffenbarger now offers to give his
eighty-acre farm to any one who will
keep him for the balance of his days.

.CUMMINS IN THE CAMPAIGN

Makes Speech at La Crosse for Sen
ator La Toilette. *
La Crosse, Wis, Aug. 31.-That the
Republican party has failed to keep
it's platform pledges, that leaders in
both the house and senate sneeringly,
contemptuously and deliberately re-
pudiated the pledges and passed laws
to please their business friends and
betrayed the American people, was the
charge made by Senator Albert B..
Cummins of Iowa, progressive, when
he opened the pre-primary fight in
this section of Wisconsin for the re-
election of Senator Robert M. La Fol-
lette, before between 700 and 800 peo-
pie, who braved downpour of rain
to hear him, and who interrupted him
frequently with applause. " T.. -
z Senator Cummins advocated a tariff
commission with broader power to in
vestigate individual schedules, making
it's finding public and reporting them
to congress, so congress might take
up individually each item and read
just the schedules, so that they would
represent the difference between the
cost of manufacture here and abroad.
This, he said, was the promise Of
the platform, the pledge which had
been broken, and which must be in
the future fulfilled. .-. ..-r.. s

next year. He goes to the state
land commissioner about it, and is
told that the sales are over for this
year, and that plans for next years
sales are not yet made. He can't
even find out at what time next yoar
he can buy the land he seeks.
Besides that, there is no way of
showing him what the state offers.
Sellers usually have the motto it's
no trouble to show goods;' but Min.
nesota hasn't yet adopted that
motto. It should. It should pro-
vide some way of showing home.
seekers the land it offers for sale,
and of explaining 10 them the ad-
vantages of buying that land.
The state, too, should fix it so
that homseekers can buy land at
any time of the year.
1T may be that the state gets
little more for its lands by SELL
ing them at auction once a year
than it could by appraising them
and having them on sale at all
times. It may get more money
that way, but it postpones settle
ment and development. and these,
after all, are the things that really
matter. .' !
1T is much more important that
the state should have its lands
settled and titled than it is that the
highest possible price should be re-.
ceived for them. 1t could better
afford to give them away than to
hold them indefinitely. It would
be a comparatively simple matter
to appraise all state lands, fixa set
price on every acre, offer them for
sale at all times, and provide
machinery for showing the intend
ing purchasers the lands that are on
the market. It should be DONE"

SELLING STATE LANDS.

ne Dulutl Herald ana st. Paul
Dispatch discuss in an interesting
and lucid manner the sale of state
lands, topic of vital importance to
this part of Minnesota.
Says the Herald:
Minnesota is in the land of bust
ness. 1t owns millions of acres
which it wishes to sell and get set.
tied. It is spending some money
and should spend a good deal more
advertising these lands in the
hope of attracting purchasers.
"Yet its methods of selling its
lands accord so poorly with its de-
sire to settle the state that one of
the chief demands of Northern
Minnesota is for more liberal and
elastic methods of getting state
lands into the hands of those who
will settle upon them and till
them.
"Besides this the state pays
nothing toward the building of
roads and schoolhouses to make
its land available for use, but that
is another story. Though very
important, it is no place here.
Says the St. Paul Dispatch:
"The Dispatch is in receipt of a
letter commenting upon the
methods employed by the state
for the sale of state land, and as
serting that the parctical effect of
the present method is to discour.
age rather than their settlement
and development.
1t is urged that while the state is
preparing to inaugurate a campaign
to catch a portion at least of the
westward movement of population,
it pursues plan which makes them
practically inaccessible to the i'm
migrant and settler from outside the
state. .....
This plan, in brief, is to offer the
lands at auction in specified locali-
ties at specified times. This is done
by official advertising. The terms
are very easy, but the conditions of
purchase are complained of as cal.
culated to shut out new settlers" 81
The Herald comments in this way:
THE point is that while the state
is asking settlers to come and buy
it's lands all through the year, it will
permit no sales except at specified
times and places and by public auc-
ton. These sales are held no
oftener than once a year, and on the
average haven't been held nearly
that often.
Suppose that about this time of
the year an intending settler should
be attracted to Minnesota and wish
to buy a piece Of state land. He
wants to go upon it at once and be-
gin getting it ready to raise a crop

Course Is Irregular.

The course of the tunnel is irregular
and the inspectors found it necessary to
exert some energy in mounting several of
the submits. The air supply, according
to Capt. Hannum and his assistants was
good below, and the lanterns furnished
sufficient light for an adequate examina
ton.
AS preliminary to the draining of the
tunnel the filters We're filled to their ca
pacity several days before the drainage
was made, and the Mcmillan Park reser-
voir at the same time was allowed to
recover its maximum capacity. The work
ing forces Were arranged SO that the OPP
GRAFTON of pumping out at the Champlain
avenue shaft and the east shaft, where
the drainage is effected by means of air
lifts could be continued as long the
reserve supply at the Mcmillan Park res
ervoir would permit.
The blow-off at Rock creek was opened
at % O'Clock the morning of the day
previous to the inspection, the tunnel dis
charging by gravity until = O'Clock m,
when the centrifugal pumps at Rock
creek We're started The airliftS at Cham
plain avenue and at east shaft We're
started at O'Clock am. and $40 O'Clock
a. m. On account of the failure to main
tain pressure of steam at Rock creek
where only one centrifugal pump could
be kept continuously in operation. Capt
Hannum says, the airliftS worked with
the centrifugal pumps until the water
was reduced below the level of the sum-
init east of Rock creek about IL o'clock
am.
The section of the tunnel drained by
the airliftS at the east shaft was empt ed
at $40 o'clock am and that section
drained by the airlifts at the Champaign
pumping station was empted at 30
o'clock pm. Then an inspection was
made Of the entire section of the tunnel
east Of Rock creek.
When the inspection was completed the
refilling of the tunnel was begun at lilo
pm. by opening two gates six inches at
The west shaft, Georgetown reservoir.
The gates at the east shaft We're kept
closed until the TUNED was filled. The
gates at the west shaft We're opened an
additional six inches at > O'Clock. and a
each hour thereafter until the tunnel was
filled. BY that means the filling of the
twenty million gallons. was accomplished
IN about four hours. Capt Hannum says
that on a previous occasion it had taken
about eight hours to fill the tunnel.
Not the least interesting part OF the in
Spection came when the tunnel was re-
filled. Capt. Hannum says that when the
water was pumped back into the tube
after slight repairs had been made waves
of progression met the waves OF recess
sion and created water hammer in the
dissi patton of which the water was forced

mits. At the shaft at 18th street north
