head bridge first This would make
the most direct route. The board
should view both routes
George Ballard said that the county
tried to put a bridge in once ut Red
jacket, but no satisfactory foundation
was found. In 1903 the matter was he
fore the county board again, but the
location was near the railroad bridge
'anG there were other objections, 81
he had withdrawn his name from the
ipetitiOn. He was willing to leave the
matter to the county board. but
thought that there were places on the
LeSueur river where bridge was more
needed.
Mr.. Mitchell said that this was all
that his side had TO offer. They had
show the board around when vie roads
become good.
Commissioner Dung asked whether
anyone was opposed to moving the
Kerns bridge to Red Jacket, but no
one answered, but several thought that
it was not good enough bridge 10
put at Red Jacket, as it was not high
or strong enough.
| Kerns Bridge Weak and Small.
| Mr.. johnson said that he did not
think the Kerns bridge strong enough
for heavy traffic. II was unsafe for
Il big automobile TO go across it, and
| in driving with load of hay the
driver had to lay down. 1t ought
to be boxed up and sent to Mr.. Doc
ley. The Red Jacket road would be
half mile to mile shorter than the
Jones ford road to Good Thunder,
and nearer to Rapidan, also. Many
of the farmers risk the ford now to
drive that way, because it is the short
est way. The Red Jacket improvement
would help all. while the overhead
crossing would help only some. In
! 1903 there was Il petition with nearly
400 sieners for the bridge at Red
Jacket.
Commissioner Madioan: THE county
had better buy all that section of the
county and make Il park of it. This
! V Guild be cheaper than building so
inany bridges" He did not see why
the railroad company would not put
in the crossing. 2feiH
1t was stated that the railroad was
| there before the road was put in, and
that therefore the company was not
iObliged to put in an overhead cross
ing.
Commissioner Young said that he
had heard somewhere that the road
was talking of moving its track lit
! tie. Commissioner Schultz answered
this by saying that the road could
not get mp onto the prairie except
by going where it was, and any move
would be but few feet. The COM
pany once offered TO pay half, but the
beard foolishly refused.
Mr.. Mitchell: SIS it a question of
saving a half mile. or of having the
road where it will benefit the most
poople?"
Commissioner Hanson said that the
boards funds are limited.
The board and farmers spent the
AFTERNOON talking the matter over, but
no action was taken.

after their marriage
The only thing about her daugh,
ter's condition that she knew was
when she had the girl examined by DR..
Crives at Lake Crystal who found
her condition. She had said that
her father did it, The witness did
not know whether she was telling the
truth, and thoaght that she would
wait ont and ketch him at it," she had
never spoken to him about it be-
cause Maudc did not want ANYTHING
She did not know whether to believe it.
She came to Mankato to have DR..
Jane Hughes examine her. This doctor
had also told her that she was preg-
nant. She had taken no steps to have
her husband arrested, although she
knew that he had violated the law.
She did not like ito speak about it
TO him while he was ailng so, and
because of her love for her daughter
which caused her to respect her re-
quest. She had intended TO do some
thing later. and did not know why
she had not before
Mr. Plymat asked the witness whe-
Their she realized that if she had had
her husband arrested there would have
been no shooting. She replied that she
did not, and Mr.. Plymat replied that
she was to blame for the shooting
as much as anyone else.

laying on the bed asleep, in the bed
room. Witness stayed about fifteen
minutes, and as he left Miss Pfifcr
had asked him if he had work, and
he had answered that he had. She
had asked how long he was going to
work, and he had replied that he did
not know. He then walked forty
rods, when he heard a muflled shot.
He walked on a little further and
heard a shot as clear as if it was
close by him. That was all that hap

heard that Pfifer had shot himself

great loss to fruit by frosts. Frost
has never been known to tonch the
Yuma orange district.
Turning again to the valley lands
which are primarily noted for grow
ing grain, alfalfa and cotton, | want
to give one instance of crop returns
for our Blue Earth county farmers
to ponder over. This particular crop
statement is made and sworn TO by
Mr.. j. c. Powers, whose postoffce ad-
dress is Yuma, and the land upon
which the crop was harvested is sit
uated about five miles from that city.
During the year 1909 he farmed
eleven and one-half acres from which
he complies the following statistics:
One crop alfalfa hay sold. 80. 300. 70
l0,639 pounds alfalfa seed sold 300. 90
One crop alfalfa hay sold. 49,. 10. 90
One crop alfalfa hay sold . 345 90
Total revenue season 1909 50 05J 10
A general average per acre OF $l7S96
1t is not likely that every farmer in
The Yuma valley would reap Il like
result from his land, for all farmers
are rot as painstaking and well in
formed as Mr.. Powers. But the land
from which he raised this phenomenal
crop is no better than the average land
IN the valley. His intelligence, energy
and experience, however, all combined
TO make the soil produce the maximum
yield. Others can duplicate these fig
nres if they employ the like knowledge
and intelligence.
In my automobile trip of two days
through the valley | held quite
lengthy converse with Mr.. w !.
Harmon, and he greatly interested me.
Mr.. Harmon came to the Yuma val
ley from Yakima, Washington. In
1908 he sold forty acre apple orchard
in Yakima for which he received $l0,-
600. With his two sons he set on.
tofnd new location and fatcr spend
ing six weeks in travelling through the
Sacramento and Imperial valleys in
California, the western portion of Mex

possessed advantages not found in any

CIRCUS PARADE ON NEW PLAN

The Great Adam Forepaugh and

TINS season enlarged their policy of
generous entertainment by the creation
and construction of the greatest street

this show is considered the best and
the most popular of all.

1t is only natural to expect this show,
above all others, to have great pa
rade, vet all who see it are pleased far
beyond their fondest hopes. It's wealth
and it's splendor are the direct results
of years of travel through five CONT
