Relic of Indian Days.

Embedded in a tree felled on H. H.
Bonniwell's place in the southern part
of the city the other day was found
a bullet overlaid by the ring growths
of 49 years. 1t is no doubt relic
of that perilous September day in 1862
when Little Crow and his painted
demons surrounded the town. In fact
Bill Dewing is confident that he
identifies the bullet as one fired from
his rife when he broke out of the
stockade let out whoop and, shoot
ing as he ran. chased bunch of
more a hundred red devils over the
hills to the south of town. They beat
him at sprinting or he'd come back
with a fine bunch of dripping scalps
dangling from his belt.-Hutchinson

TWO STATE ROADS.
One East and West and One
North and South.

The county commissioners this
week practically decided to build two
roads across the county, one to run
north and south along the Great
Northern track and the other to run
east and west from near Cyrus, thru
Morris, Alberta and Chokio. Some
formalities are necessary to establish
these roads as state roads, but these
will be disposed of soon. The COM
missioners decided to appropriate
81, 900 to be expended upon these
roads and will receive another 81 900
from the state.
The Morris city council also decided
to make an appropriation of $500 to
be used on the approaches to these
roads within the city limits.
The appropriations were granted
at the request of the Morris Improve
ment Union. for whom Messrs. E. ].
Jones and S. Stewart appeared before
the commissioners and Mr.. Jones be-
fore the council. The commissioners
also recommended to the state high
way commission that J. E. Cole, under
whose direction this work will be
done, be appointed an assistant state
engineer.
The commissioners at their meeting
this week also authorized Mr.. Cole to
buy two wheel scrapers and road
plow and the council on Tuesday even
ing also authorized the purchase of
two wheel scrapers for the city.

Be it further resolved that the said
officials be requested to investigate
into the matter of the conducting of
gambling places in the City of Nor
ris. and that all violations of the
gambling laws be prosecuted.
Be it further resolved, that we
pledge to our sheriff and our county
attorney our hearty cooperation in
securing convictions for violations of
the laws aforesaid; and we request all
law abiding citizens Of this county to
assist said officials in their efforts to
enforce such laws.

ILLEGAL LIQUOR SALES.
Sheriff and County Attorney
Requested to Prosecute.

The county commissioners have been
in session this week.
On Tuesday the application of P.
F. Foley for liquor license at AL
berta was heard, and the application
denied.
This application was denied in spite
of the fact that at the recent cleo
tion, license carried in Scott town
ship by small majority. The COM
missioners also turned their attention
to the liquor problem in other portions
A. of the county and on the motion of
Commissioner Devenney adopted the
following resolution =
Whereas, The dissolute habits and
dissipated lives encouraged by the use
of Intoxicating liquor, and fostered
by selling intoxicating liquors to
habitual drunkards. minors, and in
temperate people generally; And
Whereas. We believe that intoxica-
tion should be discouraged both to
uplift the moral tone of the commun-
ity, and save vasts sums of money
to the people:
And, Whereas. We believe that
some of the municipalities of this
county have been derilict in enforc-
ing the laws of this state both as to
selling to prohibited persons, and at
prohibited times; and as to gambling {:
Therefore, Be it resolved by the
County Board of Stevens County,
That we request the Sheriff of this
County and the County Attorney to in
vestigate the violations of the liquor
laws of the state of Minnesota within
the County of Stevens. and to prose-
cute all such violations, and especial
ly as to selling to habitual drunkards,
minors, and after II O'Clock P. M.
and on Sundays. We request that the
law be strictly enforced and that the
said sheriff and county attorney ex-
pend such sums of money as may be
necessary to secure evidence leading
to arrests for violations of said laws
and to prosecute the same.

GOOD ROADS.
Processes for Making Perfect
Highways.

The visitors at the 1911 Minnesota
State Fair and exposition will have
the opportunity of watching the con-
struction of a scientifically perfect
road. f'Good roads, is topic OF
the most vital and general interest at
the present time. Up-to-date pro-
gressive men. whether they live in
the cities or country, are interested in
improving the roads of their particular
district and of the state. Better roads
mean better business and better gen.
eral conditions. People all over Min
nesota are awaking to this fact.
Members of the board of managers
of the Minnesota State Agricultural
Society appreciate the Importance of
and the growing interest in good roads
and are5planning to give the people
who attend the fair this fall an op-
portunity of inspecting and learning
every process Of building a perfect
road. At recent meeting of the
board Of managers, Secretary J. G.
Simpson was instructed to make neces-
sary arrangements for the installing
of this live exhibit. MIR. Simpson has
written to the good roadds Bureau of
the Department Of Agriculture at
Washington asking for assistance in
the matter of building this road and
it is believed that the government
will detail an engineer to the Mime
sofa State Fair. who will direct the
operations. ~ ~..
The plan of the board is to select
piece of road on the fair ground
that viii be of future use and so To-
Gated that it will be accessible to all
fair visitors. Under the direction of
the government engineer, one process
in the tuilding of the perfect road
will be completed each day during
the far beginning September 4th.
On Saturday September 9th, there
will bea complete road of. the most
improved type. People interested from
all over the state will have had the
benefit of learning the road building
processes and the fair will have the

items bring the aggregate average
cost of keeping $3.50 horse in Min
nesota. for one year, up to $98. SO.
Mr.. Cooper's tables, however, are
based on an average valuation Of con-
siderably less than $3.50 per horse,
and omit any allowance for the cost
of barn room or shelter; hence, they
make the cost of maintenance only
about $85 per year.
Even at this lower figure, however,
it will be seen that. with say four
horses on the farm. the expense en-
tailed reaches the very respectable
sum of $34O year. AS the work
horse on the average farm actually
works only about 1000 hours in a
year, it is seen that the cost of horse
labor, with the w-priced animals
used as the basis of Mr.. Cooper's
figures, is IS cents per day of ten
hours. f
A variety of suggestions are made,
looking to a reduction to this heavy
drain upon the farmers resources.
These include: (D The use on more
brood mares on the farm; (2) A bet
ter distribution of horse labor through
out the year, by diversified farming;
(3) Reducing the number Of work
horses on the farm; ~ More
economical methods of feeding; t5)
The use on small farms, of machinery
requiring less horse power. Among
these methods, the substitution of
brood mares for the geldings most
commonly employed will commend
itself as the most desirable. It is
demonstrated that mares in foal can,
with care be worked ten months in
the year, not only without injury,
but with advantage to both mare and
fosl. The three and four-year old
colts can be used. for much of the
work, in the place of the aged horses
now driven. And finally. the sale of
colts will more than pay for the keep
Of the mares. r.

The Cost of Horse Labor.

The tradition that cit doesn't cost
anything to keep horse, when you
live on farm is rudely shattered
in Bulletin No. 49," by Prof.
Thomas P. Cooper. just issued by the
Extension Division of the College of
Agriculture. The writer shows that.
talking into account only such items
as city business man would consider
in keeping debit and credit account
with a horse. every such animal really
does cost the farmer round sum for
his keep.
First, there is the interest on the
purchase-price or selling value of the
horse. Putting the rate at 6 per cent,
and the value at only $3.50. the inter-
est comes to So.
Next we must consider that the
average working life of horse does
not exceed ten or twelve years; there
fore, at least e-twelfth of his value
must be annually charged to deprecia-
ton. There goes another $12. SO on
the, $3.50 horse; and if the animal is
worth $500, the depreciation cost is
doubled. .'..
The average duration of frame
barn. according to underwriters
tables, 40 years, and the capital per
head. invested in such structures. may
be said to average $50. Divide this
by forty, and we have 81. so as depre-
citation and, So as interest, making the
cost of shelter for horse, per year,
81. so.
The items of use and depreciation
of harness, shoeing and miscellaneous
expenses add an average of at least
ST. annually, and bring the total
cost on the $3.50 animal up to $2S. 81,
without any reference to the cost of
feed and labor expended in caring for
the horse. The farm value of the
feed, based on accounts with 100
horses kept in different parts of Min
nesota. averages $54. per horse !;
the value Of labor spent in. caring for
them. $15.25 per horse. These
