The receipts from the sale of Red
Cross stamps in this city we're
$50.l3. Of this amount 20 per cent
will be sent to the national Red
Gross, and 40 per cent to the state

extend to every township in the
county, and that a strong county
association will result.

Noted Impersonator Comina.

:: The second number on the Citi-
zen's lecture course will be Arthur
j.. Fisher ~impersonator, who will
appear at the Presbyterian church
Friday evening". Jan. l4h. Mr..
Fisher has met with unusual success
in the lyceumx field, especially in
giving plays in monologue form.
! Without the aid of wigs, costume
or makeup he depicts all the char
acters in a play with such artistic
skill and naturalness that the plat
form seems peopled with the vari-
Gus characters, and the audience
sees the play as wildly as though
acted out by company Of players
with the advantage over a stage
production in that it is free from
any false theatric atmosphere.
=, The Pleasant Plains Qll.) Press
has the following to say regarding
Mr.: Fisher:
Mr.. Arthur j. Fisher, imperson-
ator and reader, was the third at
traction of the Star Course at the
College Opera House on Tuesday
evening. Mr.. Fisher entertained
the audience with his play, "A Pair
of 'Spectacles." Without the aid of
scenery, makeup or costumes he
took the many parts Of the play in
a manner that brought out each
character wildly, making it as
clear to the audience as if the char
acters in the play were all present
and arrying out their respective
parts. MIR. Fisher is truly a genius
in his line of work and our people
were especially pleased with his
entertainment.

The Farmer Has Use of Road.

A misrepresentation seems to
exist as to the right of the public
to the land along public road.
Some appear to believe that the
general public has the privilege OF
pasturing cattle, cutting grass and
hauling away earth and stones from
any part of the road reservation Of
four rods wide. This is not the
case, the man who furnishes land
for a road does not relinquish his
ownership of the same, and pays
taxes yearly on that part of his land
the same as on the remainder. He
is entitled to the use Of it as fully
and completely as any part of his
farm except that the public has the
privilege of passing over it. He
can cut the grass or crops on
the land and others who infringe on
his rights in this respect are liable
for tresspass or theft the same as if
they went on his farm and cut the
crops and pastured the land. The
public has no claim whatever ex-
cept that of being allowed to travel
alcng. Where a road crosses a
stream the owner can legally pro-
hibit fishing from the shore or
bridge, just as fully as from other
parts of the stream inside the
boundaries of his farm. -Litchfeld

Prinsburg, Jan. 3-Standing up
on the Threshold Of this new year,
1910, we wish the Tribune Editor,
his helpers and all the readers
very happy new year.
The families of Henry Den Abel
of Pennock and Jacob Kragt from
Raymond spent part of the holidays
with their parents, Mr.. and Mrs.
Carrot J. Brink.
Ben Wieberdink has returned
from Conrad, Montana, whence he
went to locate claim in the new
Holland settlement there. He
found suitable claim and hopes to
take his family there next spring.
He was successful in drawing a
claim in the Rosebud reservation,
but owing to its rocky condition let
that slip. The several families
from here that have settled at Con-
rad, Montana, the last few years
are all prospecting and we'll. The
climate there seems to have bene-
fetal influence on those suffering
from asthma.
H. J. Roelofs and family spent
Thursday with the Decker family
in Roseland.
All church services during the
holidays were we'll attended. The
Christmas entertainment was very
successful in that a fine program
was presented and enjoyed.
Mrs. T. Kramer and children &C.
companied by her sister, Miss Sadie
Myer, are spending a few weeks
with relatives and friends in differ
ent parts of Iowa.
John DeVries and Carrot Brink
have become citizens of Raymond
for the winter months and are tax
ing the studies of the high school
there.
Albert Kamstra and son left Fri.
day for a visit with relatives at AL.
word and Orange City. Iowa.
John and Garret Brink sold fine
collection of furs Monday. They
were mostly the skins of mink and
altogether brot $85. That pays bet.
ter than husking corn when furs
are as high as at present.
| William Duinink visited with
the Jacob Kragt family near Ray
mond Monday.
Lizzie Duinink spent a week Of
the holidays with her auntie Mrs,
Den Abel near Pennock.

testify.

and useful citizens do not hesitate
to respond to the call for such duty,
| therefore ask the same high
grade citizenship to come forward
and help me have the census taken
accurately and expeditiously.
LAS President Taft has said, the
pay is not large but the work is
worth doing we'll. and some day we
shall all feel proud in the conscious
ness that we had a part, however
humble, in taking this census. -

Buy = Supply of Stamps.

If you are one of those patrons of
rural routes who makes practice
of dropping coins into the post
boxes instead of placing STAMPS on
the letters, we suggest that you lose
no time in buying a supply of
stamps to use when occasion re-
quires it. It is hardly fair to ex-
pect the carrier to take off his
gloves in this cold weather in order
to be able to pick up pennies out
from the mailbox.

plant. The committee was of the
opinion that there was a great need
for such plant here, and the only
difference of opinion expressed was

dition to the municipal electric
plant or become privately owned
plant. The motion of the commit
tee that the club endorse the grant
ing of franchise to Minneapolis

any other cause. This provision
only refers to active members.

garding the plan Of establishing a

tive commercial club. It is pro-
posed that tract Of land be Sc
cured where experts from the State

notice regarding the Annual State

that Kandiyohi county will be bet-
ter represented this year than last
year, when only a few varieties
were sent down. The crops this
year were splendid, and the county
would no doubt carry off its share
of the honors if properly represent
ted. The prizes are worth while,
some of them being as high as $40.

Good For the Merchants.

The closing Of the saloons in
some of the towns in the northern
part of the state will perhaps not
prove to be such calamity after all.
1t is now reported that the mer-
chants are much pleased with the
increase in their business resulting
from the closing of the saloons. 1t
is generally known that when an
Indian can get whiskey he will
spend every cent he has for it..
When he cannot get it he will spend
every cent he has for something
else, and this is where the mer-
chants come in. The last pay day
proved that the change is not a bad
one for the merchants. In passing
it may be noticed that there are a
great many white men just like the
Indians and they are not confined to
towns on the reservation either.
