Crew Said To Be Employed by Mil
Waukee Road.

Fergus Falls.-The railway survey
ors who have been working in this
direction, from the southeast, reached
this city. They are making no effort
to conceal their identity, and talk
freely of their work. They state that
they are in the employ of the Milwau-
kee road, and as their pay checks are
drawn by that company there is no
question about it.
They have run their line from the
present terminus of the Milwaukee
branch at Hutchinson, Mcleod county,
up through Meeker and Stearns, strik-
ing the Great Northern near Sauk Cen
ter and following that line northwest
ward through Douglas and into Otter
Tail. They have kept just south o. the
Great Northern track thus far, but
think they may cross it here and fol-
low it on the north side to Fargo
They state that their instructions are
to run the line to Fargo, and beyond
that they do not know where it is 60
ing. While the survey may be some
thing Of bluff for the purpose of
wringing concessions from the Great
Northern or keeping it from entering
Milwaukee territory elsewhere, the
work is being thoroughly done, and
will give the Milwaukee all the data
it requires for a new line.

his confidence in the high character
OF the campaign committee and S. Y.

ernor, who followed Immediately, said
he approved every remark made by
the governor
Chairman Smith refused to make
speech, but in the executive session
which followed the open meeting he
outlined the character of the campaign.
He called attention to the fact that
there were probably some 100000 vot-

DRoUTH STOPS THREsHiNG.
Farmers at East Grand Forks Have to
Haul Water.

East Grand Forks. The farm.
ers living northeast of this city after
losing a good share of their crops be.
cause of heat and drouth, have run
against another big problem. The
continued drouth and heat has caused
an unusual lack of water, and in some
cases the farmers are unable to go
ahead with their threshing until some
arrangements are made for securing
water. August Lietieg, farmer liv-
ing near Key West, was in the city
today, endeavoring to find some
means of securing water so that he
can do his threshing. A small stream,
known as the Marais, is in that vicin.
ity but it has been entirely dried up.
necessitating the hauling of water
from Red Lake river below Mallory
This is an unusually long distance to
haul water for some of the farmers in
a northeast direction from this city,
but it will undoubtedly have to be done
if threshing operations are to con-
tinue. Farmers have to haul water
for their cattle, being unable to get
sufficient supply on farm land.

Principal Happenings of the Week
in the Scandinavian Countries.

New casus bel]i. The following in
formation came from .Ostersund, Swe-
den: At the west end of lake Van
berg, in Frostviken is the Norwegian
village Skogen, which possesses quite
extensive tracts of land on the Swedish
side of the boundary line. This Swe-
dish ground the Norwegian farmers
have been using without any remarks
on the part of the Swedes. A few
years ago reapportionment was made
in Bjorkvattnet, the nearest village on
the Swedish side, and the land former
ly possessed by Skogen was put into
tract allotted to the Strom Lumber
Company. This year the company for
the first time laid claims to the hay by
renting out the grass to some persons
In Bjorkvattnet. Last Wednesday
these persons appeared on the scene
with mowers and men to gather the
hay crop. But at the same time the
Norwegian farmers also came with
and twice as many men,
moved the hay and took it into Nor
Weglan territory. The matter will
have sequel.

both feet, or one hand and one foot,
