Citizens of Marshfeld, Ore, have
contributed several thousand dollars
for the construction OF a residence to
be presented to their former mayor. E.
E. Strong, in appreciation of his work
during eight years of service for his
city. This action is rather out of the
ordinary as it would strike the indivi-
dual that during a tenure Of the
mayors office this length Of time
enough bricks would have peen thrown
to erect not only a residence but few
business blocks besides.

An organization known as the 1856
Treaty Enforcement league has been
formed in Bemidji to urge the; en-
forcement of the treaty in regard to
the sale Of liquors. A petition has
been forwarded to the Indian depart
ment at Washington which contains
the names of over 400 citizens of
Bemidji. The enforcement of the
treaty would close 200 saloons. There
must be quite a pronounced sentiment
against the liquor business in that Sec
ton.

At a meeting Of the st. Cloud COM
mercial club, to which all citizens were
invited, the commission-manager plan
of city government was turned down.
The change had been recommended by
the advisory committee of the COM
mercial club. The commission plan in
st. Cloud which provides for three
commissioners, has not been altogether
satisfactory, but it was thought proper
to give the system q longer trial.

In our Buchanan correspondence an
item tells Of the sale of farm for
$4,000 which but five years ago was
bought for $4,000. The price paid
was $1,000 per acre. Other sales have
also been made of late showing q like
increase. The agricultural progress Of
Morrison county in the last few years
has been very marked and 800 land
is near at hand. And it is worth it
too. Neighbor, better get in before
the raise.

The name of John T. Boifeuillet, of

the Macon man has a world of friends
