tual Exchange, who will come hel'.

this project for the purchase of GER
titled seed and fertilizer at prices adj
vantageous to them.

in general and others interested are
invited to hear Mr.. Mann at the court
house Saturday afternoon.

COMMISSIONERS TO

Will Set Up Separate Tax
Collecting Agency Aside
From Sheriff

Setting up of separate tax col
lccting office is to be one of the major
items of business before the Vance
Board of County Commissioners Mon
day at the boards regular monthly
meeting for October.
F. NJ Dorsey, who recently was
elected tax collector, is ready to as
sumo his duties and is expected to
have quarters in the office of the

ers for 1896 taxes, and the new 1897
books will be given over to Mr.. Dor
sey for collection.
The commissioners had asked the

give the tax collector that office. But
the superintendent has not moved.
Other matters of a routine nature
will also come before the board at

From a remodeled and enlarged
building, the Henderson post office
today began serving patrons in the
CITY and county The last of the
equipment was transferred from the
temporary quarters on East Montgom-
cry street during the night after the
last mail for Thursday had been dis
patched.
The office had been in the temper
ary quarters for 13 months while the
remodeling of the Garrett street build
ing was in progress. The size of the
new building is about double what it
was before the work was done at
cost of approximately 100000.
Nearly all of the equipment in the
structure is new, including office
desks, mail counters and carriers
boxes and the like. More than 6OO
lock boxes have been installed, and
today there was a steady stream of
patrons seeking contracts for box
rentals. Many are having their old
numbers, while others have been fore
ed to get new ones. Many more of
the larger size boxes have been pro-
vided in the new post office to meet
the demands of business concerns re-
quiring larger accommodations.
While the post office organization
has moved in, there is much work yet
to be done on the building itself.
Workmen were still scattered about
over the building putting on finish
ing touches, and the project lacked
a good deal of being a turnkey job
when the post office came back home
after an absence of a year and
month.
The arrangement of the building
has teen greatly altered in the re-
modelling process. The lobby has been
greatly enlarged and the office of the
postmaster has been moved to the
other end of the lobby from where it
was before, and the section of the
building formerly occupied by the
postmaster is now the room for regis
try and money order departments.
The work room is more than twice
as large as it formerly was, and great
ly increased facilities for handling of
mail have been provided.
On the second floor of the building
have been arranged quarters for the
county farm agent and his assistant,
the nome OGulOuSIIdl1Oll dS3SAI
other agricultural work. This section
of the building has not been entirely
completed as yet, however, and these
offices will not move for week or
more, possibly longer.
The basement contains quarters for
the civil service, for the internal re-
venue agents, and for postal inspec-
tors.
Also in the basement are large quar-
tiers for storage of records and sup
plies Here also is a new and enlarged
heating plant.
Showers for clerks have been pro-
vided in the basement and for the
rural carriers on the second floor.
r st rooms have been provided in
several sections of the building.

of the night supervising the removal
of the office and it's equipment, and

We're seen making weighty decision

to solicit funds with which to finance

Pioneer Builds "COUered
WAGON" for Modern Trail.

Thief River Falls-Eighty years ago
Halvor Halvorson rode in covered
wagon" from near Rock River in Wis
consin to WaSeca, Minnesota. Last
week, at the age of "a, he finished
building a covered wagon" designed
for modern trails, a house trailer that
younger members of the family are now
wheeling over the roads to the west
coast. Early in September Mr.. Halvor-
son started work on the trailer on his
farm in Rocksbury township. Having
operated blacksmith shop in the early
days of Thief River Falls, the job Of
converting an old automobile chassis
into a sturdy frame for the new house
on wheels was not much of problem.
Apparently the rest of the job didn't
bother him great deal either for the
finished product would be a credit to
well equipped manufacturing plant.
Without question, the trailer is built
strong. But it is very attractive in ap-
pearance and certainly provides max
imum of comfort. Insulated through
out, it provides protection from cold and
heat. There are ample accommodations
for four people, with stove, ice box,
electric lights and storage space. It
is kitchen, bedroom and living room
all in one.

Thr0ps AlDay SIS
Another RecOUers,

Luverne-This is the tale Of a $500
bill which was accidentally thrown away
by one man, set afire by another, saved
by third man and finally returned to
its original owner. Here's how it hap
'pened. Last week one day F. j. Schol-
ten of Steen entered store to pay a
bill. In writing out the check he made
a mistake. Stuffing the bad check into
his pocket, he made out another one to
settle the debt. Before leaving, how
ever, he threw the bad check into a
coal pail nearby-but he had thrown
away the bill instead of the check.
From there Mr.. Scholten went to Rock
Rapids. A few minutes after he had
left, Walter Stageman came into the
store and threw lighted match into
the coal pail accidentally setting its
contents and the $500 bill afire. AS
he too walked out of the store Gerrit
Van Worst entered and proceeded to
extinguish the fire so the coal would
not be destroyed. In doing so he found
the S. bill. Mr.. Scholten, in the mean
time, had made purchases in Rock
Rapids and when it came time to pay
for them he discovered he had no
money-only a bad check. Realizing
what had happened he fastened back to
Steen and Mrs. Van Worst, being
blessed with sense of honesty, re-
turned the bill.

farmer has decided to make hay while
the sun shines. A report reached De-

neSon, Lake Eunice township farmer,
was out in the field Tuesday, November

and stacking hay. 1t has been a long
time, if ever, since farmers in the
county have been able to get out in
the fields at period when the ground
is ordinarily covered with snow An
other report received here states that
the balmy weather of early December
played tricks also with Detroit Lake.
Persons have been attracted by loud,
lion-like roars which arose from the
lake. The sounds came internationally
at five minute intervals, but no theory
was advanced to explain them.
