Seek to Regain Potato Prestige.

SOCK 90 Regain fOCaCO Prestige.
That the Minnesota potato that once
led the world in quality and carried
the reputation of the state abroad,
may be brought back to it's high
estate, and that the crop, which has
mounted close to 100000 bushels
in recent seasons, may be made valu-
able, the Minnesota Potato Growers
and Shippers association has been
organized in Minneapolis. Princeton,
North Branch, Rush City and Rock
Creek, Mimi; Portage, Wis, and
Chicago, besides Minneapolis and St.
Paul, are represented in the member
ship, and it is expected that there will
be a large addition of names as soon
as the purposes of the organization
are better known.
j. r. Beggs, st. Paul, was elected
president at the meeting at the Min
neapolis Commercial club last week,
at which the association took form;
j. G. Famechon, Minneapolis, vice
president, and r. E. Sevey, Mime
apolis, secretary and treasurer.
1t was once the case that Minnesota
potatoes we're preferred to the product
of other states, and the cooking quail
ty still remains unsurpassed.
Farmers have not shown sufficient
care, the organizers of the association
say, in sorting their product, with the
result that the presence in lots of
high-grade stock of a proportion of
inferior quality potatoes, has affected
the grading and has lost Minnesota
her position;
Texas and other southern states are
big buyers of Minnesota potatoes,
particularly the seed varieties. OF
late, complaint has been heard of the
number of potatoes of inferior quality
in shipments from Minneapolis and
st. Paul. It is primarily to remedy
this and prevent the loss to Minnesota
OF a valuable trade that the associa-
ton has been organized, but it will
work also for the general improve
ment of the crop, and it will aim to
cooperate with the state agricultural
school. It is intended, when the
association gets into working form, to
engage the services of a member of the
staff of the state school or other com
potent person to travel through the
state and preach good potato crops to
the farmers. ~.
The first rule of the new organiza.
ton will be insistence, upon proper
grading and agreement that from
September ! to July l in each year no
potatoes will be bought that have not
been sorted over screen as follows:
Burbanks, Rose, and other long
potatoes, over q III inch screen, and
round potatoes over two-inch
screen. There will be an exception
made in the case Of Triumph potatoes
for seed. -
The association will adopt q stamp
emblem for stationery of members and
tag that may be used on sacks.
Every effort will be made to induce
the farmers to use good seed.

their protest against the county

and this was the only feature of the
resolutions submitted which pro-
duced contest on the floor. When
the motion to pass the resolution
was put and a standing vote taken.
most Of the delegates were sur
prised at the small number of those
present who sustained the minority
view. 1t was plain that the Repub-
licans of Redwood county were not
in favor of straddling on the one
moral issue which has been most
agitated of late, and the decisive
ness of the vote relieved the situa-
ton of very much tension, though
Uncle Jim Arnold entered a protest
against the churches running the
politics of the party and a German
delegate prophesied dire results to
follow the passage Of the resolution.
The resolutions passed endorse
the stand taken by our senator's,
congressman and state legislators,
and briefly call for the passage of
a county option bill by the next
Legislature and instructs our candi-
date for the legislature and the
delegates to the Republican state
convention to use all honorable
means within their power to effect
the passage of such a measure.
The delegates elected to the state
convention which met yesterday
were Messrs. Bendixen and Gimme

REPUBLICANS
AT WABASS0
Instruct for County Option,
But Take No Action on
Representative.

The Republican county convention
at Wabasso last Friday, mustered
over sixty delegates, representing
most of the townships and villages
of the county, though as usual, sew
eral failed to hold caucuses and
were either unrepresented or served
by volunteer delegates.
As had been predicted, the organ
ization involved only one issue, that
of county option, the representa-
tives of most Of the villages and of
some of the townships holding that
for the sake Of harmony the con-
yention should make no declaration
on that proposition. There was a
county option caucus in the fore
noon, which did not muster ma
jority Of the full delegation, and
hence there was some doubt in the
minds of the delegates whether the
caucus would elect their candidate
for chairman, w. H. Gold, or not.
When the vote was taken, however,
twas found that the option candi-
date had a decisive majority over
H. N. Ball Of Morgan, who made an
excellent chairman for the county
convention of two years ago.
Chairman Gold took hold of mat
tiers in business-like way, with the
jocular statement that while he had
had no previous experience in like
position, he thought that if he
could hold his own as chairman of a
telephone meeting or Sunday
school convention, he ought to be
able to preside over a convention of
good Republicans. Cashier ]. G.
jackson Of the Farmers and Merch-
ants bank at Morgan was elected
secretary by reclamation, and in
accordance with motions made and
carried, the chair appointed COM
mittees on credentials and resolu-
tons. The work of the former
committee was simplifed by a mo-
ton to accept the credentials of all
delegates, taking their validity for
granted, as there were no contests.
The temporary organization was
made permanent by motion, and an
adjournment taken for dinner.
After dinner, the committee on
resolutions, consisting of Messrs.
Ball of Morgan, Henderson of Red
wood Falls township, Iyerson of
Walnut Grove, Gleason of Sanborn
and Aiken of this city, found that it
was out of the question to agree on
an option plank, but came together
tremendously on endorsement of
President Taft's tariff commission

nation that Mr.. Roosevelt had

METCALF NEWS.

MT. and Mrs. Weaver, Miss Edith -Tibbetts and Burt Loynd, who are camping iu the hills for few days hunting, are the innocent occasion of quite a sensation which include, if not the public general at least two of shannon Hills residents. It happened like this. Dr. Tibbetts and Mr. Will liam Grant decided that it would be nice to run out>aud spend the night with their friends in camp. As time was precious they started early in the afternoon so as to get there be- fore night. However night, strange to say never waits for any one, regard less of the circumstances, and in this case came up with them almost be- fore dark. As a result, the trails, usually of quiet disposition began to squirm and cross each others path in d most unreasonable manner Coming to place where the trails had decided for the peace of each other to part company. MT. Grant declared that the right one was wrong, and the doctor was certain that the left one was right. Finally they compromised by taking to the woods and leaving the cause of the trouble far mp on the montian side. As a result of this solution of the trouble thay spent a most enjoyable night on the messy stones and their saddle blankets Next morning they were astir with the larks. The first question was breakfast. "well" said doctor as he began to get out his medicine case (which was the only piece of furniture they had along) "hold on" said MT. Grant "lets go home" They arrived Iate/that day. The only consolation they got out Of it was that they had spent the night within half mile of their destination.
 L. Slessenger recently received from Colonel Roosevelt, as taken of of his appreciation of diplomatic services rendered while be was abr oad, number of precious stones which will be on display at the Cabinet after the 18th. As it will be inn possible for MT. Slessenger to be present, Mr. Wright will be glad to answer any questions respecting the stones.
 Mrs. Dickenson of Los Angeles is the new nurse at Shannon Hill. The new school house on Shannon Hill is now completed, and is nice piece of work It will be a usefull addition to the Camp.

A Lie Nailed.

All day Monday there were silent mutterings on the streets and as night closed the storm of excitement broke out in earnest when the open assertion was made that I. B. Enc fish, democratic candidate for sheriff, had been accused of tampering with jurors at Solomonville. The excite ment ran high from one end of the town to the other, and beca me more intense when a prominent democrat circulated a petition to have his name placed on the ticket, as he thought, to save the party. As soon as Mr. English heard of what was go- ing on, he consulted with Judge John R. Hampton, and without stopping to say word, they started for Solo knoxville in the night to find the yilefier and liar who had started such an atrocious tale of vilifcation at this time. Arriving at Solomonville Tuesday morning the judge kindly heard Mir. English and immediately summoned the jurors in chambers duu luClb SluSll Ou Od Iu as to whether MT. English had ap- preached shem in reference to any of the cases on trial and they all swore that he had not. Thus the bubble was exploded, and the vindication of MT. English perfected.
 In this connection some hair brained politicians have the temerity to say that this was a republican scheme, yet while it is a fact that the republican leaders are sharp pointed, they are DO fools and would not countenance such dishonora ble act in their ranks. The lie has been forceibly nailed and the perpetrator of such a dastardly Culumnation ou the honor of the democratic party and the people of the new county of Greenlee in it's infancy and first election should be drummed out of any community to which he belongs.
