Friday Of last week deal was made
whereby Max Burg sold out his cigar
store located on S. Minnesota Street to

nected with the Prudential Life Insurance
Co. as agent in this city. He however,
does not intend to give up the agency

weather breeds i'll humor and recounts
the various scraps that have taken place
in one town and another along the line.

Sanborn of having had burglars and the
Sanford paper comes right back denying
the accusation and tells Springfield she
should be ashamed of the various brawls

DROWNED IN THE MINNESOTA

Three young boys of Nicollet County
were drowned last week while bathing
in the Minnesota River near St. Peter.
All three victims were under 16 years of
age and lived in Belgrade Township.
The youngest, lad of twelve, had gone
into the water first before his companions
were undressed. He stepped off into a
deep place and his cry of fear brought
the other two to his aid. They too
stepped off the ledge and the swift
current bore them all away. The bodies
were all found several miles below the
place where the drowning occurred.

At the last meeting of the Nicollet
County Dairymen's association held at
CORTLAND it was decided to change it's
name to South Central Minnesota Butter
makers association. Arrangements
were made that the association hold a
picnic at Wendelschaefer's resort, Lake
Jefferson, on Sunday, Aug. 13. The
idea of entering large creamery butter
display at the Nicollet county fair was
suggested. The following officers were
elected: A. H. Dannheim, president;
A. T. Parsons, vice president; A. E. Call,
secretary and treasurer.
We hear that Professor William B.
Nickerson, of the state university, an ex-
perienced archaelogist, who was at Cam
bria two years ago and again last sum-
mer, making excavations in the old
Indian village, will make the place visit
again this summer. From his obser-
vations and deductions Mr.. Nickerson
thinks that the ancient village, whose re-
mains are everywhere in evidence in that
locality, must have been thriving and
important Indian town hundred of years
ago. He has found many interesting
relics there and wants to come again and
put in two months searching for articles
of interest from those bygone days. The
State Historical society pays all expenses
of such research work.

From all over the state are reported
the delivery of mail order house catal-
logues. In some places truck load after
truck load OF catalogues were received
at the Post Offices. In New Ulm about
ten days ago it was impossible for the
carriers to deliver all that came in on
the days they were received. The
Fairfax Standard reports 20 mail sacks
filled with Sears-Roebuck catalogues de-
livered in their community. The mail
order houses know where the trade lies.
And how to 60 after it.

HEAT REGISTRATIONS NUMEROUS

Reports of death from heat prostration
are numerous, there being one for nearly
every community in this part of the
state. New Prague, Welcome, St. Peter
and Mankato each had one or more cases
of prostration, ending in death. This
shows that the heat wave was the worst
experienced in this section for it is seldom
that persons suffer in country sections
as they do in large cities. An official
report from Chicago places the number
of prostrations at 1000.

FORD LANDS IN DITCH.

Henry Meyer Of Milford had an ex-
perience last Saturday which he will not
soon forget. While driving along the
road to New Ulm he noticed a flock of
prairie chickens or ducks and evidently
turned his eyes away from the road for
sight at the flock. His car probably
noticed this and thought it good time
to try and run itself and ere Mr.. Meyer
was aware he found himself and his car
in the ditch.

La FER|A TO
ORGANIZE A
CANAL LINE
Property 0wnersPIan
To Take Over the
La Feria System

One hundred and twenty nine names of
property owners whose taxes will be af-
fected have filed petition with the Cam
eron county commissioners court asking
for the creation of La Fera Irrigation
district No. 3. The court issued an order
setting the petition for hearing September
u. when il was decided whether or not an
election 10 create the new district shall be
called.
The order states that the petition was
signed by the names of the owners of
majority of the taxable property The
district would include the Minnesota
Texas Land and Irrigation company tract.
Irrigation would be had by diverting water
from the Rio Grande through canals The
petition stated that many miles of private
~ owned irrigation canals and bitches al
ready exist and are in operation in the
district.
The La Feria irrigation district j. loc-
ated IN the territory from four to ten miles
west of Harlingen, and i one Of the orr
ginal irrigated sections of Cameron coun-
ty. Over year ago the La Feria Mutual
Canal Co, owners of the district. went
into receiyership, and several months
ago. through court order, the receiver
issued certificates to the amount of $780,
900 for improvements and extensions
These extensions and improvements have
about been completed, and the landowners
have decided the time is ripe to organize
a district, issue bonds and take over the
property.
While the proposed la Feria district
will be known as district No. 3, il will
really be fourth irrigation district in the
county. The original district was the
Union, IN t6s northwest part of the coun-
ty. organized about three years ago, short
~ after the new irrigation laws went into
effect
