St. Cloud Commercial Men Visit On
Their Return From Warroad.

Crookston, August 12--(Special
to the Pioneer)-The special car
containing thirty-two representa-
i've citizens of St. Cloud who have
spent the past week on trip to
Warroad, going from there to
Kenora and spending the first
four days of the week on Lake of
the Woods, spent last evening in
Crookston as guests Of the Crooks
ton Commercial club.
At 7:3O an auto ride was given the
visitors. the state farm and Crooks
ton School of Agriculture being
visited and the business and resi-
dence section of the city covered.
Later two hours were spent in the
Commercial club rooms where an in
formal reception was held with short
addresses from visitors and local
men after an address of welcome by
President ]. E. O'Brien of the club
and responses by C. I. Atwood, Colo.
mel Westerman and other visitors.
The ladies of Crookston were pres
ent to greet the ladies in the party.
The trip was most delightful one
in every way.

Court for the third time. The frs
time was in the action for a money
judgment, in which a demurrer tt
the complaint was sustained. Upor
appeal the supreme court CLOS
Mimi, 479) affirmed that order, anc
held that, under statute, mandamus
is the exclusive remedy open to
Beltrami county to compel Clear
water county to pay its proportionate
share of the present county is in
debtedness. Then the Court was
asked to order peremptory writ
of mandamus. This was denied on
the ground that issues should be
made ard full hearing had in the
matter before a peremptory writ
could properly issue. And now, in
this proceeding, an alternative writ
is sought, based upon a petition
fully reciting the facts upon which
it is claimed that Clearwater county
is indebted to Beltrami county.
Under the decision of the su-
preme court in the former case, and
in view of the opinion in the case of
Polk county VS. Demann, ct al. IS
MIMI, I can conceive of no pos
sible manner in which to determine
the matters in controversy except by
this exact method. The motion to
quash must be taken as an admission
of the truth of the allegations of the
position. And from the petition it
appears clear that Clearwater county
has failed, neglected and refused to
pay, or make the provision required
by statute to enable it to pay any
portion of the indebtedness. which
it plainly appears from the petition,
devolves upon it.
Beltrami county is primarily
liable to the creditors of the county
for all the indebtedness existing at
the date of the creation of Clearwater
county. Approximately $23,0OO.O0
of this indebtedness, according to
the petition, must be repaid to it by
Clearwater county. The statute
(Sec. 635 Laws of 1894) designates
the time and the manner in which
this shall be paid. This statute pro-
vision has not been complied with.
The supreme court has said that
Beltrami county has no other ade-
quate remedy at law-that its only
remedy is by mandamus. 1t is we'll

DROUGHT DRIES RIVERS
Mississippi Drying Up AT All Points
No Water Coming Down
Schoolcraft.

Lack of rain is affecting rivers
and water powers all over the
northwestern states. August is
usually dry month, but June and
July had so little water that the
hot August days are causing the
rivers to dry up rapidly. Evapora.
Etion is taking most OF: the water.
Minneapolis mills have been u.s.
ing steam auxiliaries for two
months and when the street car
company burned out dynamo, the
mills had to shut down for four
days as not enough water was
coming down the river for both
the mills and the car power plant.
At Watab, near St. Cloud, the
mill is only running two grinders
at present. The mill has nine in
stalled and building room for nine
more, but the water is so low that
only two are in operation. The
plant which is supplying light and
power to Fergus Falls and Brecken-
ridge is not getting enough water
for one city and has no steam plant
to fall back on.
Navigation on the river below St.
Paul has been closed and the big
steamers which have been coming
up from St. Louis have been tied up
to the St. Louis docks for the rest OF
the season. Hastings reports lower
water than anytime since 1864,
Lake City says that Lake Pepin is
lower than it has ever been since
1864. Red Wing says the river is
three inches below the low water
mark. 49,.

SHOULD BUY HIGH LAND
Fields so to 100 Feet Above Sea Level
Drain Surplus Water Easily.

County Surveyor Roy Bliler, who
was up in the Shotley and Battle
River country, with the board o.
viewers, viewing the large judicia
bitches number three and four, ha:
returned to the city. Mr.. Blilel
spent four or five days in this work
in the interests of Beltrami county
and reports a very interesting trip
Upon his return from this trip
he Immediately went to Nebish
where they are grading stretch Of
road seven miles in length. He
states that this road will be one Of
the best in the county.
Land buyers, when driven over a
good piece of road with the view OF
making a purchase invariably make
a deal. When these buyers are
driven over poor roads, the deals
invariably fall through.
So far this summer the county
has graded about twenty-five miles
of as good roads as one can find in
any portion of the state. The
work was all done under the super
vision of Mr.. Bliler.
Speaking of land settlement Mr..
Bliler said, The wise ones are all
buying low lands, land that is from
so to 100 feet above the water level,
which when properly drained will
make the finest agricultural land to
be found any where. These meadows
are covered with long, green grass
making ideal dairy FARMS"
This is the same story that is
heard from men who know property
values. They all say that land in
this section of the country makes
ideal farms. When outsiders become
more familiar with the future pro-
spects of this north country there is
no telling how many thousands will
make their homes in this fertile sec
ton. - :" -. -. -
