September 29. HORSE RACES business and crop conditions. The result of his observations would indi- cate a trend toward better things for Minnesota in the next few years in the line of interview upon his arrival here Alder- man Leahy last evening said: “About Brandon they have fine crops some of the wheat fields yield- ing 32 bushels per acre. Business conditions there are very good in every way and land values will hold up well. “In Winnipeg business is still fairly good, but the wholesalers are beginning to complain about slack- ening orders from the Canadian northwest. There is a decided stringencv in financial circles, how- ever, and it is getting to be difficult to secure loans except upon gilt edge securitiesand at a stiff rate of inter- est. Itwould appearthat a busi- ness expansion had overstepped it- self and that the penalty is being paid. g “It is from Calgary and the Cana- dian northwest generally, however, that disastrous reports are coming. The grain is still green, though heavy frosts are ripening some of the fields very rapidly. That the frost has done an immense amount of damage is a certainty and hard times are staring the people in the face. Many came there with noth- ing and have been struggling along the same as they did here in the early days. A crop of failure in the valley was an unheard of thing in those days, however, and when they did come the people were prepared. “In the Candian northwest, how- ever, a frozen wheat crop means ruin to many, and hardships of a immigration.

In fact, work is now being stopped on new lines quite generally and there will be a general suspension before the ground freezes, It is useless for the roads to build new lines to develop new country when they know that they cannot induce immigrants to go there in the face of aruinous crop failure. While the crop would not have been so bad had it ripened before frost, many fields now will not be worth harvest- ing. Credit will be shut off from merchants in that section, and they inturn will shut down on the set- ters. *Canada has been overdone. Win- nipeg is a great city, but she has been going at too fast a pace. The reaction has started in and stagna- tion and resultant decline in real estate values is inevitable. Winni- peg must pass the same experience Superior did several years ago. “As a result the immigrants who have been rushing madly through Minnesota for the past few years will stop here. The result will be seen next year, when I feel certain We say amen to the above taken from the Brainerd Dispatch: “The Buffalo Lake News says “fifty country néwspapers have sus- pended publication in the last six months and half a hundred more are on the verge of the grave,” the causes being ascribed to a raise in the price of printers supplies. Those that are already dead and those that are dying will never be missed from the ranks. There is no demand for the paper started to espouse some local political candidate or to become the organ of some faction with a grievance. If there is no demand for the publication it must necessarily die from lack of patron- age, which is the reason papers sus- pend rather than from the rise in price of paper. Who ever heard of a mercantile establishment going out of business because the whole- sale price of calico or sugar was tifted. Ordinarily they tilt back at the consumers and continue to do business.” Doran Bros. Purchase Business Block. An important real estate trans- action was completed today, when Doran Bros. purchased the south 25 feet of the Thompson block, opposite the city hall. The place is now occupied asa feed store, which will be vacated within the next thirty days. Daran Bros. will move their tin shop, plumbing outfit and supplies to this building. The front of the building will be fixed up for a sales and show room, the back used as a work shop. The second story will be fitted up for living rooms. Leases Brannon Hotel. Northome Record: D. J. Praught’ who has been landlord of the North- ome Hotel the past year, the latter part of last week removed his furni- ture into the Brannon Hotel build- ing across the street from the North- ome and will hereafter conduct that hostelry, having leased same from S. E. Grindall who recently pur- chased that place from W. S. Bran- non. In making the change Mr. Praught purchased the stock and fixtures of the Brannon saloon adjoining his new location and will conduct a first-class bar in connection with the hotel. Appointed U. S. Commissioner. H. A. Simons this morning re- ceived his commission as the U. S. Commissioner for this section of the country. The appointment of Mr. Simons as commissioner will be a great convenience to homesteaders who wish to make official proofs, take testimony and transact other business pertaining to the U. S. land office. Funeral of Carl Akerberg. The funeral services of Carl Aker- berg were held from the city hall yesterday afternoon, the services being conducted by Rev. S. E. P. White, pastor of the Presbyterian church. The funeral was largely attended by sympathizing friends and neighbors. The remains were laid at rest in Greenwood cemetery. that thousands upon thousands will begin tilling the vacant lands of the Red River Valley and the north- eastern portion of the state tributary to Duluth. There is an era of pros- perity, the greatest ever experienced, dawning on northern Minnesota. This is going to make a wonderful increase in the volume of .the Min- neapolis, St. Paul and Duluth whole sale business. It is coming as sure as the sun rises in the east.” Want Ad Solves Old; Problem of Navy. Washington, Sept. 22,—News- paper advertising brings results. The government has for years found it impossible to secure all the men wanted for the navy. In postoffices and other public places and upon billboards, highly colored, semi-melodramatic and misleading posters have been exposed pro- ducing indifferent results, Recently the navy sent out recruiting parties and advertise- ments were inserted in the news. papers calling for men for the navy. In July there were 1,619 enlist- ments compared with 900 in July, 1906, under old methods, and in August this year the total was 1,702 s Will “Bring Home the Candy.” Kelliher Journal: Thos.

Marquis Ito is quoted as having said that it may be necessary to alter Japan's policy owing to the present situation end that if the Korean people persist in their attitude of unfriendliness it will be the “last day for them.” Tokio papers are receiving reports that insurgents are gathering from all directions around the city of Seoul to sttack it. Their number is unknown, but one band of 800 is reported. Hav- ing parties of Koreans under the lead- ership of ex-soldiers are killing Japa- nese officials and civilians and Ko- reans suspected of being pro-Japanese. These parties take to the mountains upon the approach of Japanese troops, but not before suffering heavily. Creditors Will Lose Little. Minneapolis, Sept. 2 .—Watson & Co., stock and grain brokers, who failed for nearly $1,500,000 a short time ago, have made a proposition to their creditors to settle on a basis of 50 cents on the dollar, the balance to be covered by interest bearing notes to be paid from time to time covering a long period. It is thought probable the creditors will accept the proposi- tion.

A certain man, because he was so strong and hearty, im- agined he was a locomotive. ‘There was, he thought, no limit to his vitality. He regarded his stomach as the firebox. All he had to do was to keep the firebox full. He followed the Mississippi steamboat plan, and crowded everyold thing into hisstomach. One day when he was pulling a heavy load the firebox didn't burn right, so the Human Lo- comotive stopped toinvestigate. He found the flues choked, the firebox full of clinkers, and so stuffed with fuel that it couldn’t even show a red glim- mer. Somebody told him to keep a clean fire with a gobd draught, and feed it regularly, with only a certain quantity at a time. He was furthér advised to use Rexall Dyspepsia Tablets for the purpose of putting him- self in first-class shdpe. He did as he was told, and was soon able to pull and haul as well as ever. Besides he puffed less under*a heavy load.
