|Riflemen Will
Shoot 1t Out
At Sand stone
Quarry City Rod & Gun
Club Will be Host on
January ID.

The Sandstone Rod & Gun club,
several weeks ago issued an invita-
ton to Askov and Finlayson to join
the Quarry City boys in indoor rifle
shooting and at that time the clubs
at each of the three places appointed
men to arrange for the picking of
rifle teams. Godfrey Olson will look
after the Sandstone laurels; Walter
Dahlin of Finlayson, will pick team
there, and A. w. Conway at Askov,
will do likewise These men will
appreciate hearing from any one de-
string to take part in that pleasant
diversion.
The first competition date has been
set for Thursday night, January 13,
at Sandstone where a 5O-foot range
has been constructed in the basement
of Peggy's Cafe. Each man is ex-
pected to furnish his own rifle and
ammunition and the Sandstone Rod
& Gun club promises to send each
one home with hot cup of coffee
and a bit to eat following the fun.
It will be remembered that Askov
and Sandstone came out second best
to the Finlayson sharpshooters last
summer and both teams will be out
for revenge at this time.
The Sandstone club holds indoor
shooting practice on the second and
fourth Thursday nights each month.

Hog Supply Dip;
Cattle Are Firm
Reduced Receipts Fail to
Bolster Market; Cattle
Steady; Lambs Up.

South st. Paul, Mimi, Jan. 3, 1888
Higher fresh pork prices and re-
duced supplies of hogs failed insofar
as factors in directing the trend OF
hog values today. Following early
bids that were 15c to Csc lower, the
market PANIED out on a mostly loo
to 15c lower basis, with extremes Sc
to zoe below last Friday. Top saggeo
to $3.50 on choice lights scaling 19(
pounds down. Bulk good and choice
40 to 210 pounds moved at $7.70 to
$3.50; 210 to $50 pounds $7.25 tc
$7.7O; $50 to 800 pounds $6.65 to
SIPS; with a few bigweights down
to $6.25. Sows had a range of $500
to $6.10 largely, while shippers paid
upward to $6.15 for smooth kinds
of the gilt type. Stays brought $3.50
to $500.
Cattle sold mostly steady, but there
was a weaker trend on steers pre-
cipitated largely by the desires of the
buying side to further reduced live
costs. Outside basic points were
lower as a result of liberal receipts
Much interest was manifested locally
over prospects of Canadian importa-
tons, but the supply consisted only
of around nine loads, largely bulls
hence they had little or no influence
on price trends. Vealers showed g
touch of weakness following SOC lower
bids at the outset. Bulk of the steer
and yearling crop moved at $500 tt
$500 with a part load at $8.25 anc
odd head $3.50 Heifers had a spread
of $500 to $500, some $50 pound
weights making $3.50. A range o.
$4.75 to $5.75 included most bee
cows with cutters and low cutters al
$3.50 to $3.50. Vealers sold at $500
to 5000 and sausage bulls made $57s
to $6.25, the latter price also repre-.
senting the high for Canadian bulls
A few Canadian cows brought $5.5(
and plain steers of similar origin
made $3.50.
A Csc to SOC advance in slaughter
lamb prices boosted the top on botl
natives and fed offerings to $875
while bulk of the latter kinds alst
cashed at $875. Plain and medium
grades brought $500 to $3.50 will

1t was proposed to change the con-
stitution so as to have the annual
meeting on the first Monday after
the second Sunday instead of after
the first Sunday as it now reads.
This will be voted on at the next
quarterly meeting.
To Publish Report.
1t was decided to again send out
an annual report and financial state
ment similar to the one sent out last
year. 1t will likely take two or three
weeks before this can be printed and
mailed
The treasurer's annual report was
read and approved. 1t showed a
small balance at the end of the year
and no unpaid bills. During the
year the debt of the church had
been reduced to the extent that the
total financial obligations are now
only $500.
There was some discussion rela-
tive to the recent loss of the Assem-
bly, hall by fire. This matter will
be taken up again at a later joint
meeting with the Young Peoples So
ciety. In the meantime the board
will ascertain some facts and figures
on the possibility of rebuilding.
The positions of two board men,
bers were filled by election. Arnold
Sorensen has served as treasurer the
past six years and c. Richard Peder-
sen the last few months of an I'M
expired term. Mr.. Sorensen declined
reelection and this resulted in sew
eral ballots being cast before the
result was definite. The two finally
selected are c. Richard Petersen and
Chr. Sandahl. The three members
of the board who hold over are
Adolf Jensen, Einar Jensen and Svend
Petersen. A. Gravesen and j. Albert
Johnson were reelected as revisors.
The chairman closed the meeting
by expressing sincere and hearty
thanks to one and all who have taken
part in the church work during the
year 1887.
After the meeting the customary
coffee and lunch was enjoyed.

International
News Review
BY GEORG srRANDvoLD

One of the much-commented events
in the international field within the
last few days was President Roose-
velt's message to the United States
congress, or, rather, that opening
part of it which dealt with the re-
lations of this country to others. II
might have been a major event but
for the fact that it was largely q
statement of reiteration, for, surely
there was nothing new or startling
in the idea that the United States
is strongly in favor of peace. 1t did
serve its purpose, though, in so far
as it once more emphasized that will
to peace, and it pleased those pa
triots who still believe that peace
hinges on big armies and navies
The number of those who believe the
contrary is constantly increasing, fol
in the very fact that wars are ir
progress is found a refutation of the
theory of ornaments as a peace-pre.
server.
AS for timeliness, nothing coulo
have exceeded the American presi-
dents message (here reference is
naturally, to those parts of it which
concerned international affairs), fol
bloody conflicts were still raging a
the very moment when he spoke.

claims for benefits under the Min
nesota Unemployment Compensa-
ton Law must be prepared to CO.

This warning to workers was is
sued today by Frank T. Starkey,
Industrial Commissioner in charge
of the Unemployment Compensa-
ton Division, which Monday be-
gan to accept benefit claims. The
volume of claims filed during the
first few days indicates that the
division will be taxed beyond
capacity in clearing the cases, the
commissioner said.
He pointed out that the first
two weeks of unemployment suf-
fered by a worker during 1888
constitute the waiting period re-
quired by law. The first week for
which benefits can be paid is the
third of a workers unemployment.

County Now Owns
Its Office Building

Having operated for Is years
without owning court house,
Lake of the Woods county last
week was removed from that
unique position when the Board
of Commissioners purchased the
county office building. Lake of the
Woods county was the only one in
the state, and possibly in the ma
ton, that did not own its own
court house. Ever since the
county was organized in 1928 the
business has been carried on in
the building owned by the Bau-
dette Chamber of Commerce. For
the first ten year no rent was
charged. During the last five
years the county occupied the
building under an agreement by
which it installed a heating plant.
The situation was perhaps the only
one Of its kind in the United States.
