WAS DRIVE FROM HOME A. W. Sutton, Aged Home- steader, Qusted From Own Cabin by a Negro. WAS PROMISED SHELTER AND FOOD FOR REST OF LIFE. Relinquished Homestead With Understanding That He Should Be Cared For. One of the most distressing cases of cruclty and ungrateful- ness ever brought to light in northern Minnesota is told by A. W. Sutton, a man over 70 years of age who has .lived for some time upon a homestead seven miles west of this city, but who lately has been ousted from the cabin which he gave to another with the understanding that he should receive food and shelter the remainder of his lige, Mr. Sutton filed upon the home- stead last summer and up to two weeks ago liyed alone upon the land, doing his own work and cax- ing for himself, He was ap- proached by a negro whom he had known for some time and - asked to relinquish the home- stead to him, and in consequence of this he was promised food and shelter for the remainder of his life. No sooner had he transfer- red his right to the man than he was informed that he was not the owner of the land and that his presence was not wanted on the place. Although he objected vigorous- ly to being driven from his own home, he was compelled to turn away, and arrived in this city the first of the week. The old man leans heavily upon two canes which he constantly carries and was weak and hungry from ex- posure when he came to this city. After he had told his story he was provided for at the Remore hotel where he will remain until the facts in the case are brought to light. Bought Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy and Sent it to Friends.

Decided Not to Build a Sawmill On or Near The Reser- vation. E. A. Bright, the chief clerk for the Standard Lumber com- pany, came over from Cass Lake last evening, and left on the night train for Solway, from which point he intended to drive to the Itasca state park to look after some business for his company. Mr. Bright states that the Standard company is operating one camp on the reseryation, in the vicinity of Ball Club, and that work is being carried on very successfully. The timber which they have there and are Jogging at the present time was secured at the sale held in Cass Lake Dec. 17, 1903. During last winter and thus far this season there has been cut about five million, and it is impossible to approximately estimate the amount that will have beenlogged when the cutting is completed. The Standard Lumber company has the largest holdings of any of the reservation loggers,land they also secured the prize timber that was sold one year ago, being the heavy tract of white pine in the vicinity of Cuba, a small station about five miles east of Cass Lake. This tract covers a very large area, and a sub con- tract to cut it was let to the Swan River Logging company, which concern owns and nperates a large amount of railroad rolling stock and does logging on a very extensive scale. They cut dur- ’|ing last summer, at the camps near Cuba, over twenty-two mil- lion feet, using steam loaders apd hauling the logs out with their own trains to Grand Rapids at which point the timber was dumped into the Mississippiand floated down stream to the mills at Dubuque. The Standard peo- ple, at one time, had serious in- tentions of erecting a mill at some convenient point on the reservation, for the purpose of manufacturing their timber in Minnesota, but they claim that they can float the logs out of the country to their mills in Iowa and realize much more from*‘raw material,” as it were. At their home mills there is absolutely no waste whatever in manufactur- ing the logs: they sell sawdust, bark and all of the by-product, as well as the finished lumber. Thus it was that the company passed up Cass Lake as an ad- vantageous point for a sawmill. The Standard company is satis- fied in every parficular with the methods used by Senator O’Neil, superintendent of logging, and his scalers in handling the gov- ernment end of the logging on the reservation. NORVAL BAPTIE THE CHAMPION Former Bemidji Skater Wins Honors Over Champion of Canada. Norval Baptie, who is well known to many people of this city, on Monday night defeated Harley Davidson, champion of Canada, in a skating contest held at St. Paul, securing two out of three heats. Davidson secured the first heat and Baptie the sec- ond and third. The distance of each heat was a mile, which was made in 2:31. At the elose of the race Baptie was informed that Joseph Donahue, former cham- pion of the United States, had challenged him to a race, and the challenge was accepted immedi- ately.

EXPERIMENTS WITH HAY AT NORTHEAST STATION. Bromus Grass and Alfalfa and Alsike Clover Are Yet But Experiments. Bulletin Number 41, the third recent series sent out from the experimental station at Grand Rapids, deals with meadow hay and pasture and contains’ some very important facts that are for the most part unknown to the people of this section. The bulle- tin is as follows: Grand Rapids, Minn. January, 1905. If there ‘isany one thing in farming for which northeastern Minnesota has the advantage over other sections of the state it is in the growing of clover. During the past eight years clov- er has failed but once on the Ex- periment Farm and that due to winter killing, never failing to catch, Timothy has been grown with the same success. Clover has given an average yield of two tons per acre the first cutting and from # to 1} tons the second cutting. The past season clover yielded 8} tons per acre including both cut- tings. Tame hay is grown exclusively on the Experiment Farm there being no wild hay land. For this reason the meadow has not been permanent, but, ~always plowed up after the second year. Experiments have been couduct- ed allowing the meadow to run a longer period, and always with the same results; that after the second year the crop sown de- creases to an unprofitable yield. This is a point upon which too emphasis cannot be laid. Wild hay land may produce a paying crop for several years in succes- sion but. tame hay will not. While this section is especially fayorable fcr tame hay, it will give a profitable return .only when rightly cared for. In parts of the state where fields are large the farmers may be better able to get along with half a crop,- but here where every acre of cleared land has cost much time and hard work it should be farmed so that its highest production may be realized. Clover roots seldom live through the second winter, and while timothy lives longer the sod gets out of condition after the second year so thatit will not give a profitable yield. While clover seed is high priced the expense of reseeding every other year may seem con- siderable but the difference in yield and the improvement in the soil for other crops more than oft sets this expense. The system of rotating the meadow land with other crops will be taken up later in a series of bulletins on general farm management. Numerous varieties of grasses have been tried but thus far noth- ing has been found to equal com- mon red clover and timothy for hay. Bromus, a grass much ad- vertised has been tried, but not with conclusive results. Thesame may be said of Alfalfa. The ex- periment with both these plants will be continued. Alsike clover is very good for low land where standing water at certain seasons of the year would kill out red clover or timothy. Insuch cases Alsike clover may be used as a permanent meadow, but the land has to be broken up and cultivated before a catch camn be secured. PASTURE: The Experiment Farm pasture has chiefly been the uncleared part of the farm, of which there are still about 200 acres. This has been the only permanehb pasture, no tame grass as yet being used for that purpose. Much of the second |8 crop hay on the meadow land has been pastured with very good results. This last year a meadew that had been allowed to stand for the third Jyear was used for a| For pasturing purpose tame hay land might be used the third year to a much better advantage than for hay. In fact it is only for pasturing that it should ever be kept the third year. As yet we have not had con- clusive experiments with white clover and Kentucky blue grass for permanent pasture. Both white clover and blue grass are very prevalent in certain parts of this section, growing year after year with perfect hardiness. ‘Where a catch can be made in a wood land pasture they make a very valuable improvement upon the wild grass, especially on- up- land. The catch cannot be made however by simply scattering the seed upon the wild sod. The under brush has to be cut out and the sod broken to a certain extent. Just what amount of cultivation is neccessary has not yet been determined, but work along this line will. be taken up the coming year. Last spring seed was sown without any culti- vation but no catah whatever se- cured. The next bulletin will be upon fodder corn and roots as a feed for stock. A. J. MCGUIRE. FURNISHED LIQUOR TO LO Federal Officers Arrive With Four Prisoners for Bel- trami County Jail. Deputy United States Mar- shal Frank W. Tufts and George J. Mallory arrived in the city yesterday with Joseph Roy. Vin- cent Roy, Francis Gerneau and Charles McDonald, who have been sentenced to serve terms in the Beltrami county jail at this place. Vincent, who plead guilty in the United States federal (court at Duluth, of having sold liguor to the Indians on the Red Lake reservation, received a sen- tence of four months in the county jail and a fine of $100. The others named were sentenced to pay $100 fine and serve 60 days each. On their return trip to Duluth Marshals Tufts and Mal- lory will stop off at Grand Rapids to secure Oliver Jeleaud, who was indicted by the federal grand jury on a charge of procuring an- other man’s mail at the Grand Rapids postoffice. He has been in custody of the Itasca county sheriff for some time, itis said, and a bench warrant was issued Saturday by Judge Morris. Do Not Suppress a Cough. When you have a cough do not try to suppress it, but remove the cause. The coughis only a symptom of some disease, and the disease is what you ‘should cure, then the cough will stop it- self. The most common cause of coughing is a cold. Anodynes will promptly suppress the cough and preparations containing chloroform, opium, etc., are used for that purpose, but they do not cure the cold. Chamberlain’s Cough Remedy on the other hand does not suppress the cough, but relieves it by removing from the throat and lungs the mucus which obstructed the breathing and allaying the irritation and tickling in the throat. It also opens the secretions and effectu- ally and permanently cures the cold as well as the cough. For sale by Barker’s Drug store. Card of Thanks.
