The new club is to be complimented on it's excellent equipment. including a Western
 MeCrea Automatic Trap, the best on the market today. The next regular shoot will be held Sunday. April 18th, at 2 o'clock.

More About That Auto Line.

We are informed that three big Stanley Steam Automobiles are now on the way from the factory, and should arrive in time to have them in opera tion by May 10th, sure.

 This will be fine for drummers and all people who value time, as they can then reach St. Johns or Springerville in a few hours, the mail that has always been two days on the way will soon be thro to the other end in less than one.
 There will a car leave each end of theline each day. the third be- ing kept for emergencies and other trade.

Minnesota's Dairy Possibilities.

F. S. Peer of Ithaca, N. Y, a big
importer of dairy cattle, after look
ing over the west, has concluded that,
while dairying is an institution in
the east, its really great field is in
the west. He prophesies wonderful
dairy development in the west with
in the next few years.
From Guernsey and Jersey, two
small islands in the English Chan
mel, Mr.. Peer imports about 400 pure
bred dairy cattle annually. The -Jer-
sey breed originated on this island
and there has been no admixture of
other blood for two hundred years.
The island has a population of less
than $4,000. There are only 10000
acres of farming land, yet the island
feeds its own people and exports be-
tween three and four million dollars
worth of farm products annually.
Only about twenty per cent of it's
farmers are freeholders. The others
annually pay rent of from SIS to
500 an acre to some foreign land
owner. Yet they prosper even with
this great handicap.
Compare these conditions with
those in Minnesota, where the farm
ers own their own land and where
there are still available at low prices
almost unlimited acres of the most
fertile: soil On this globe.
We have not begun yet to appreci-
ate Minnesota's possibilities. Its
cities have hardly begun to- grow.
Anyone who is ssbear" on Min
nesota is making a great mistake
