Money in Spuds.

Quite a number of farmers are
planning on putting i'll quite few
potatoes this season more than
usual. With a fair price for po-
tatoes .hey are regarded as one of
the most profitable crops raised and
the soil is we'll adapted to their cul-
ture IN this section, moreso han in
some states where they are the
mann crop One OF the main causes
for low prices is owing to the
lack of raising distinct varieties.
Buyers in car lots are not as par
tlcular about the grade as they are
TO have them of some particular
variety, of which there arc mum
Der that are claimedto do we'll here.
With the improved machinery for
handling this crop the labor is no
more ardous than handling any
other crop. Potatoes are great
crop and enrich the soil for the
season. 1t they are raised in
sufficient quantities of distinct
varieties there is not much doubt
but what they will find good
profitable market in this place, as
has been demonstrated by our
local buyers the past week. k.-Ros-

Yeggs Blow P. o. at Pierpont.

Yeggnen Friday night broke in
to the postoffice at Pierpont,
cracked the safe and got away
with about $50 in currency and all
unknown quantity of stamps The
time of the robbery is not known
as no one heard the explosion.
The first intlmation that ANYTHING
was wrong was when the office was
opened Saturday morning. A gen.
eral wreckage was then discovered
and the safe found to be rifled.
1t is thought bv many that the
work was done by amateurs be-
cause OF the manner in which
things were broken up. Evident
ly an unnecessary amount of nitro
glycerine wasused for the windows
were all blown out and hole
blown in the ceiling.
The men stole speeder from
the section men and went to AM

AN ELECTRIC
Line NEXT
Fergus Falls People Want
Connection With Sisseton.

According to the Wheaton Gaz-
cite Reporter there is little pros
pect that the new railroad to I've
constructed from Huron, S. d.. to
Duluth can be induced to change
its original route which runs from
Slsseton to Wahpeton and from
these across the state to Duluth
Fergus Falls people were hopeful
that this route could be changed
so as to run through Wheaton and
then OH to their city, but they have
about abandoned hope. Wheel
ock' $ Weekly of last week reports
that representative of the Fergus
Commercial Club attended meet
ing of the officers of the company
held at Wahpeton on April 4th.
He presented the advantages offer
ed by the Wheaton Fergus Falls
route with the assurance that sub
stantial inducements would be of
fered by the people along the line
If the change was made. He re-
ceived no encouragement except
the promise that if the people ask
ing the change would go ahead at
their own expense and have a
survey made the officials would
give it consideration. This propo-
sition offered but a slight ray of
hope and the Fergus Commercial
Club has practically abandoned
any further effort to bring about
the change proposed.
They have taken the question ND
from another angle, however, and
have appointed a committee to in
vestigate the probable cost and
feasibility of building and operat-
ing an electric line from Sisseton
to some point beyond Fergus.
With an abundance of water pow
er going to waste it would seem
that this last proposition ought to
work out. From sentiment we
have heard expressed we are in
clined to believe that an electric
cross line would be looked upon
with more favor here than the
Duluth Huron road. Electric lines
are in successful operation in
other states and they are already
pushing their way out into the
rural districts in this state. An
electric line through the territory
named ought to prove profitable
and source of great convenience
TO all concerned.

Chance for Payment of Old Annuitics

AT the time OF the Indian mas
sacre i'll Minnesota III 1902 the am
nuities being paid to the Sisseton
and Wahpeton bands OF Indians
were cut Off. While some indi-
viduals of these bands took part in
the massacre it was long since de-
termlned that as tribe these In
dlans did not take up arms against
the whites at that time but they
have never been able to have those
conilscated annulties restored which
have Claimed as their right under a
treaty With the government. A
bill has been passed by the pres
ent congress which intended to
lead to the restoration of these
annuities. The bill provides
that all claims of whatsoever
nature which the Sisseton and
Wahpeton band of Sioux Indians
may have or claim to have against
the United States shall be submit
ted to the Court of Claims with the
right TO appeal to the Supreme
Court by either party for the
amount due or claimed to be due
said bands under any treaties or
laws of congress and jurisdiction
is hereby conferred upon the
Court of Claims to hear and deter
mine all claims of said bands
against the United States and to
enter judgement thereon. If any
such question is submitted to said
court it shall settle the rights both
legal and equitable of said bands of
Indians and the United States, not
with standing lapse of time or
statute of limitations. ="

The railroad company has had a
work train and crew employed this
week III putting in bridges north
of town. During the late spring
flood the space under the bridge
that spans the river was not long
enough by half to furnish an out
let for the flood that came pouring
down as result the water provid-
cd outlets for itself by washing out
the road bed to the north and in
terferring with through traffic
for several days. The company
has remedied this situation by con-
structing bridges at the washout
points which will permit the free
flow of water hereafter during
flood periods. This will not only
improve conditions from the rail-
road standpoint but will also help
the general situation as with addi-
tional outlets the water will dis
appear more rapidly.-W Wheaton

Many funny reports have been
circulated about the condition of
the White Rock grade. The
farther you get away from town
tho worse the reports grow. At
the worst stage of high water
the grade was passable and
there was no time when teams
were not constantly passing
over it. Five miles away from
town you will hear that it is i'm.
passable. Ten miles away you
will hear that the mail had to be
ferried across, and fifteen miles
away the waters over the
grade are a rip roaring cataract
seeking whom they may devour.
The fact is that while a few in.
ches of water are running over
il i'm Two or three places there is
a good hard bottom with only
few chuck holes. The condition
of the grade will average up
with any country road near here.
1t is not in a condition to bear
mp with heavy loads but neither
are other roads in the vicinity.
Several automobiles have made
the passage over it in the past
few days and it is in fair shape
for ordinary traffic.

WHITE ROCK
FARMER KILLED
Falls from Peak of Barn and
Breaks Neck.

The community was shocked
last Friday morning by the news
that Robert Meldren residing
two and IA half miles southwest
of White Rock had met with IA
fatal accident. While loading
hay into the mow of the barn
some part of the lifting device
got out of order and he had
climed to the roof of the barn to
adjust the pulley.
He was leaning over the pro-
lection at the peak of the roof
and in reaching out either los,
his hold on the roof by his foot
on the ridge or became dizzy,
and fell to the ground about 30
feet below.
He struck on the side of his
head and shoulder, probably
most of the impact coming on
the shoulder as his back was
broken. He never regained con-
sciousneSS. His wife who had
been laid up for some time with
a fractured ankle had been
watching him from a window of
their home and saw him lust
about the time he struck the
ground. Mrs. Meldren reached
the phone and called up some of
the neighhors, and managed to
reach his side. Frank Paul who
was working in a field nearby
was also called. DIR. Engh of
White Rock was summoned and
arrived 30 minutes after the ac-
cident but life was extinct.
Robert James Meldren was
BORN July LIST, 1884 at Brooklyn,

one son, Howard. aged two and
one half years, his mother, one
brother, William and sister,
Annie of Brooklyn and one

IS the great hy-breeding preventive.
"A ten cent package of powdered
boraN scattered on the top of a

not having such places. Dirt and

and you will be amazed at the
