Lee. Mr.. Hammond will carry the
Third comfortably, probably. He will
carry the fourth by several thousand.
The Lee forces claim their victory in
the Fifth will offset the Fourth. Mr..
Hammond should carry this district,
the Sixth. The majorities in Stearns,
Benton and Morrison will more than
offset the gains in the Lee counties,
while a number of the others will be
close. Mr.. Lee will very likely carry
every county in the Seventh district,
with the possible exception of Rem
vile; his majority in this district
should be at least 5000. The Eighth
district is Duluth and the Iron Range.
Both sides are claiming it. The Ninth
district will be close, favoring Lee,
and Lee should carry the Tenth COM
fortably.
Of course, complete returns may
change this guess but the logic of the
situation gives Mr.. Lee a slight ad-
vantage.

OPENING A SUCCESS
Large Crowds Attend Formal Opening
of A. Dahlem's New Store
Saturday Afternoon.

Away back in 1867 A. Dahlem, Sank
Centres pioneer merchant began bus
mess in a small way on Third street
in Sank Centre, and he has been con-
tinuously in business ever since, max
ing him the oldest active business man
in the city. The business has shown a
gradual and substantial growth each
year, finally necessitating the erection
of new and commodious store room
just east Of the old grocery stand on
Third street. The structure was for
mally opened to the public Saturday
afternoon, Oct. oath. The new order
of things locates all branches of the
business under one roof and will not
only greatly facilitate. the handling Of
the trade but will be a great accom-
mediation to the stores customers.
Associated with Mr.. Dahlem in the
active management of the business
re his two sons, Albert and August,
and daughter, Miss Pauline.
1t was an ideal day for the event
and the building was crowded to its
capacity, especially by the ladies, who
took advantage of the weather and
enjoyed inspecting the new building
and looking over the complete stock of
ladies' and gentlemen's furnishings
carried by this firm. Over twenty
dozen carnations were given away as
souvenirs between the hours of 2:30
to 500 p. m.
The structure is two stories high, %
feet wide and &c feet long, and has a
full basement. The front is of beau
tiful red Menominee hard pressed
brick and is set off by sandstone trim
mings. Two extra large panelled
windows extending across the front of
the building give them al. excellent
opportunity to display their goods to
the public. Over the transoms are
prism glass windows and extending
acrosss the width of the second story
are large windows, giving the store
! an abundance of light. In the interior
everything is arranged for the con-
venience of both management and
public. The ceilings on both floors are
steel and of a rich cream color. The
| first floor is given over to dry goods,
furnishings and shoes and the second
floor to ladies' and gentlemen's coats
and mems overcoats.
1t was just nineteen years ago that
Mr.. Dahlem built the large building
on Third and Oak streets from whence
he moved to the new location.
The institution is not only a credit
to the progressiveness of Mr.. Dahlem
but the city itself can be justly proud
of this neat appearing structure as it
adds much to the beauty and appear
ance of the business district.

CLOSING-BOTH PARTIES
HAVE TROUBLES.
MIR. LEE SHOULD Be WINNER

Tuesday of next week the voters of
Minnesota will be called upon to select
their state officials for the coming
two years.
The campaign just closing has been
peculiar in more ways than one, and
the outcome is clouded somewhat in
doubt. If one were to judge by the
sentiments expressed about Stearns
county, Congressman Hammond was
sure to be elected governor over VIM.
E. Lee, the Long Prairie banker.
Stearns county is normally very
strongly Democratic and it is not sur
prising that the Hammond sentiment
predominates in this section. Indeed,
it would be strange if it did not.
Mr.. Hammond came into the state
about two weeks ago and has made a
whirlwind campaign. Tuesday eve

ming Secretary of State Bryan spoke
at large meeting in Minneapolis, and
stated that Mr.. Hammond's election
would mean that the people of this
State Endorsed the governmental pol
icies of President Wilson. This, of
course, includes the recent tariff bill,
which is particularly obnoxious to the
farmers of the Northwest The Euro
pean difficulty, however, has kept the
price of products of the farm up, so
that the baleful effects of the tariff is
not felt as badly as it would be under
normal conditions.
Mr.. Bryan is a strong county option
man in his own state and there was
much speculation as to how he would
handle this phase of the question,
which has played very prominent
part in the campaign to date. He
said he did not talk county option OUT
side of his own state.
The Herald editor is of the opinion
that the matter is strictly a legisla-
tive question, and that either candi-
date will sign the measure if it is
passed by the legislature.
Mr.. Lee has made a campaign on
economy and efficiency, and both have
adopted Gov. Eberhart's efficiency
program, inaugurated by him in his
first message to the legislature four
years ago, and eliminating in the APP
pointment of the efficiency commits
sion year ago.
Under normal conditions it would
appear that Mr.. Lee would be elected
because of the large Republican ma
jority in the State. The Herald be-
ieves he will be elected by by a great
ly reduced majority. The pre-primary
campaign waged by Mr.. Lee was UNI
necessarily bitter; and some Republic
cans who have stood by the party un-
der all prior conditions will either vote
for Mr.. Hammond, Mr. Calderwool or
will not vote at all. They charge that
Mr.. Lee bolted the ticket two years
ago, both State and National and on
other prior occasions, and that it will
not be treason for them to do a little
scalping this year themselves.
Hugh Halbert of st. Paul, protege
OF one Mr.. Roosevelt, is the progress
sive candidate. Of course the few
votes Hughie gets will initiate
against Mr.. Lee.

troubles, however, as Ole Sageng, Of

Again this week the Herald pub
fishes the constitutional amendments
to be voted upon at the November
election. Our readers should study
them carefully, and vote according
ly. We wish, however, to call par
ticular attention to the seventh
amendment, the so-calleds "seven-
senator amendment. It limits the
representation in the State senate to
seven senator's from any one county,
and is designed to prevent the large
centers of population from securing
control of the upper house of the
legislature. It should receive the
support Of every rural voter in Min

FORAGE PLANT BECAME PEST
Australian Dairy Farmers Brought to
the Verge of Ruin by I'M
ported Grass.

Australia has added another to
the series of complications incidental
to the introduction Of new species,
either of the animal or vegetable
kingdom, into the economic life of
country.
Not many years ago the eolonists
thought to enrich the scanty fauna
of the island continent by the natu-
ralization of the European rabbit ;
and the experiment proved so sue
cessful that the little animal is now
a pest to be fought with the aid of
scalp bounties. Somewhat later an
Australian statesman induced the
settlers of the torrid north coast to
grow an exotic forage plant, paspa-
lum, a kind of millet, and to de-
velop the country as grazing and
dairy region. The result was the
building up of a fourishing dairy in
dustry.
Now, however, it has been discov-
cred that, after years of wonderful
service as a milk maker, paspalum
has developed tendency to sourness,
due perhaps to the failure of the
dairy farmers to follow crop-rota-
ton system. The plant is of,remark-
ably vigorous growth, and in most of
the pastures affected it has developed
a formidable tangle of roots, which
makes it an extremely difficult and
expensive matter to eradicate it.

FEEDING Raw Beet Pulp.

Our leading dairymen have silos and
feed ensilage nights and mornings and
feeding of hay at noon. They are
not feeding very much grain at pres
ent prices. The best wheat feeds, glu-
ten and cottonseed meal, are the prih-
cipal grains.
A few dairymen are feeding beet
pulp and receiving good results. One
farmer who is milking IL cows told me
few days ago that since he CON-
menced feeding this with the same
amount of grain, his cows had gained
a little over 4O-quart. can of milk per
day, says a writer in an exchange. Beet
pulp costs three dollars per ton in car
lots. Farmers give about eight quarts
to a feed per COW twice a day.

TRANSPOSED BODY OF WATER
Engineers Shifted Lake a Consider
able Distance in Order to Work
Profitable Silver Mine.

Romasce has always thrown a
glamour around silver mining, and
many Interesting stories could be
told of the doings in the pioneer days
of the Dominion at Silver Islet, in
British Columbia, and in Ontario.
Few stories, however, can exceed
in interest that furnished recently by
the Carson Lode of the Crown Re-
serve mine, in the Cobalt. district of
Canada. The course of the lode lay
underneath a lake, and was mined
for some distance, until working so
close to the bed of the lake rendered
further removal Of the ore too great
a danger to the miners.
Far from abandoning the quest,
the authorities of the mine called to
their assistance the resources of
modern science and pumped the vast
body OF water in the 45-acre lake to
form another at some distance.
The hollow thus made disclosed a
deep deposit of mud. Nothing dauHt-
ed, the authorities set up a fresh
pumping apparatus, by which the ex-
PEELED water was reintroduced for
the purpose of washing the basin
clean.
The rsasarkable spectacle ensued
of two sets of pumps at work at the
same swsa-the one to impel, and
the other 10 expel the erstwhile lake.
Complete success attended these OPP
erations.

BREEDING STOCK FOR DAIRY
Strong Constitution-ReaI Good
Sres Are Rare Thing.

By PROF. w. ]. KENNEDY, Iowa Sta
tion.)
In selecting dairy cattle the real
test must be the scales and the Bah
cock tester. The COW is a machine to
convert food into milk; thus she must
have large middle and a strong con-
stitution to insure the best results
She must also have a large udder,
large milk wells, large crooked milk
veins and good-sized teats.
Her head should be clean and an
gular in appearance, with the eyes
standing out prominently. The neck
should be rather long and lean in APP
pearaHce; the shoulders pointed and
the backbone rather prominent. The
skin should be loose and soft to the
touch. In selecting herd bulls either
mature animals which have already
demonstrated their worth as sires or
younger animals from high-testing
dams and sires only should be used.
The best and surest will always fol-
low the use of a mature sire which has
sired heifeys with good records. A
good dairy bull should be kept until
he is twelve or fifteen years old; in
fact, as long as he is sure sire. Real
good sires are so rare that when we do
find one he should die only of old age.
All breeders of dairy cattle should
secure yearly tests on each and every
COW in the herd. Shorter tests do not
really mean very much. 1t is the COW
that stays by her job that is really val
liable.
