One hundred and eighty thousand
acres OF school and other state lands
will be offered for sale during the
coming year by J. A. o. Preus. state
auditor. The lands will be offered
at public auction, beginning In March,
and will be sold to the highest bid
der, but i'm no case win any tract
be sold below the appraisal value,
which is I'm no case less than IS
an acre, as fixed by statute.
Much of the land is In the country
through which the state has been
dredging drainage bitches for the
last few years, and which a few
years ago was under water a great
deal of the time. It Is now dry as
a bone, and soil experts pronounce
the old swamps and meadows as
equal i'm productiveness and ease OF
tillage to any farming land in the
state.
The purchasers, who are limited to
800 acres each, must pay fifteen per
cent OF the purchase price at the

lcent. The appraised value OF the
timber, however, must be paid at

cholera, eleven herds, numbering
2Sg hogs, were too sick to treat. In
the remaining herds, SSS hogs were
vaccinated and saved. In these herds,
1872 were considered too sick to
treat. and of this number 693 died of
cholera.
The secretary of the Commercial
club had these communications at
the last two meetings of the club,
but as other matters monopolized
the time they were not read. AS the
cholera Is spreading through the
county, he believes the matter of
sufficient Importance to give the cor.

there is a desire on the part of the
farmers, he will be glad to assist
them to organize. This can be done
at any time thought best, or IL can
be done at the annual meeting of
the Blue Earth County Pure Seed
association, the last week in Febru.

will be q large number of farmers
in the city. Corn growing and hog
raising go together, and the same
men will be interested in both.

Leindecker could be secured to adj.
dress the pure seed convention on

From the extreme low price of last
summer, wheat i'm the Minneapolis
market has advanced more than 60
cents n bushel. The Minneapolis
Tribune says, the appreciation re.

mately normal to a sudden radical
shifting in the conditions governing
the world situation which had never
been ecOuntered before In the an.
nails of the grain trade.
To Il certain point the domestic
crop with its large surplus was a
balance wheel in the international
market to hold prices steady. But
the continued absorption Of our sur.
plus by foreign countries has begun
Il overweight the volume OF our re.
naming available surplus with the
result that prices based on a legiti,

have now reached q level that Ina ye

been this buying for shipment abroad
for immediate and forward accounts
that the foreigner may be said to
control, practically, the American
market.
The demand for our supplies has
been extraordinary. No less than
twenty-five countries have come hera
for wheat or flour in the last six
months. Two or three had never
figured in our export trade and a
number OF the others rarely and fol
small amounts. This unusual con
centration of demand was simply be
cause there was no other surplus

normal conditions in these countrie,
increased their purchasing power Il
limits far in excess of the ordinar,
and In response to this broad de

In this period of heavy foreign
absorption Of u supplies and hard

trade failed to anticipate it's forward
needs. Developments the last weel

THIRD RAIL DANGERS

THIRD RAIL DANGERS Elevat-
ed railway track employees always
work with bare iron tools and are
unprotected in case they fall or their
tools slip upon the electric rail.
Many times the boss forces the
men to carry rails across the cleo
trio rail, and if some are scared the
boss laughs at them. 1t would be
easy to carry rail over the electric
rail if there were enough men, but
many times this is done with small
number of men. 1t is all the fault of
the company, which only speaks of
safety and does not perform.
It is very dangerous to turn the
rails around on the e." as the track
men had to do in the Kenwood yards,
Nov. Is.
Workers must turn rails around
over three or four electric rails. If
one of the trackmen let go or his
feet slipped there could easily be half
a dozen dead.
1t is worth knowing that the ele-
waited company has issued 60-page
booklet of safety rules, yet more men
loose their lives on account of care
lessness than in any other way.
The company severely forbids en-
ployes to cross the track in front of
stations. This means that in case
anything happens to some employees
on the tracks that the company has
the excuse that it is not responsible
because it warned the men.
In the safety rules are written
many things for the safety of the
company's purse, not the employees
lives.
For turning rails on the tracks the
company should furnish turning
blocks, which would do away with
danger. Then the company should
