CANADIAN. Land Advertisers

Our Canadian friends who in their
advertising have been SO carefnl 10
omit information as to the tact that
the railroad transportation Is so in
adequate that the streets OF many
OF the towns are, as the st. Paul
Dispatch recently said, filed with
sacked wheat, should use the follow
ing Superior dispatch:
''Canadian farmers are rushing
their grain to Superior and Duluth
at the rate OF 225 cars a day in an
effort to avoid loss by exposure be-
cause of lack of storage facilities.
Often the shipments are run through
the driers and cleaners. The loss
in weight is heavy and one carload
was discovered in which the shrink
age was 1882 pounds. Five men
on the staff of the local customs
are aiding in handling the grain
which is placed in bonded birs."
The above sounds different from
what we have been hearing and
reading about the conditions across
the border where the rainbow is
supposed TO come down right at the
exit of the horn of plenty.

semble old times for there will be

question came up and the council by
unanimous vote decided to establish
one polling place for all of the voters
and this year the Brick building on
Bayfield, street across from the North
ern State Bank will be used for that
purpose. One set of election officers
will be in charge of the election and

fatal.
A settlement was made with Char

doing when he made the settlement
and accordingly brought suit for $50,

barded with literature, fly killers,
advice, and lot of other things
that come naturally to every re-
former. This morning he received
letter from man at Rifle, Colo.
who has invented vacuum fly
catcher that the inventor is sure
will solve all the fly problems of
the bald heads instanter All you
have to do is to take the business
end of the machine, stick it next to
the intended victim, and, swish, zip,
your fly is sucked into its NAV be-
yond any possible hope of rescue.
The inventor wants Mr.. Petrikin
or his friends to put up some money
to make and market the affair
Anticipation that there may be mil
lions in it, Mr.. Petrikin spent the
forenoon fooling around with al
ordinary vacuum cleaner, and finds
that any fly that gets within few
inches of the inlet of the machine
is gone goslin. 1t will rid thu
house of ants, as we'll.
