Surveys for Canals in Norman, Polk, Roseau and Marshall Counties. Civil Engineer George A. Ralph, in charge of the work to be done by the board appointed to expend the state drainage appropriation, has made sur- veys of the four principal canals to be built, and will submit his report to the board at a meeting in St. Paul early next month, The four places at which the work will be done are in the counties of Norman, Polk, Roszau snd Marshall. One of the most importent matters is } the opening of the channel of Lost river, in eastern Polk ccunty. This in- volves the building of a drainage ditch through a swamp in Beltrami county five miles long, to unite the two beds of the stream, whereby several thousand acres of land will be redeemed and made productive. The work in Roseau county consists in opening a ditch nine miles long from a point northeast of Badger to the Roseau river, while the condition in Marshall county will be remedied by the digging of a canal five miles long, in rang 44, to Middle river.. Norman county will be benefited by the drain- ing of a large tract in the townships of Gcod Hope and Shelly, the outlet be- ing the Marsh river, Altogether the amount of canal to be dug will aggre- gate twenty-six miles, and bids for the construction will be advertised for as svon as Mr. Ralph’s report is submitted, The work will cost more than it would in ordinary years, owing to the high price of labor, but Mr. Ralph is confi- dent that the appropriation will be suf- ficient to de the w this year. ° A BIG GRIND.

New Baden, Ill, August 12th:—Mrs. Anton Griesbaum, Jr., has been very ill, Female weakness had run her down so low that she could not do her housework. She tried many things, but got no relief. Dodd’s Kidney Pills, a new remedy, which is better known here as a cure for Bright’s Disease, Diabetes, Dropsy, and Rheumatism, ‘vorked like a charm in Mrs. Griesbaum’s case.

Dodd’s Kidney Pills are making & wonderful reputation for themselves i .his part of the state. The man who wastes his experi2nce accumulates neither weatih nor wis- dom. Cee LITTLE ONES UNITE. Soathern Minnesota Millers Combine to Handle Export Trade. ‘ Southern Minnesota millers have formed a combination to compete with the big milling concerns of the world, and especially the big mills of the West, for foreign trade. The combination is to be known as the Export Transporta- tion company, with headquarters in Minneapolis and a resident manager in Chicago. The smaller mills have been forced #> be content, as a general thing, wit what trade they were able to find is their immediate territory. Now ana ‘then there has been a mill that by per- sistence and advertising has been able to push its bronds beyond its immedi- ate district. Wherever the small mill could secure enough home trade to keep the plant profitably employed, it has ‘been content to allow conditions to re- main as they were. But the big mills have beee cutting into the local trade more and competition has grown keener at home as a result of the increase in the number of mills, which has had the immefiate result of reducing the terri- tory in which any one mill could so- licit trade profitably. If the small mills are to keep on the dividend list they must find more trade and to secure that they must become exporters of flour. In soliciting export business, the small miller complains of two obsta- cles. One is that he has been unable to secure a rate that will allow him to compete with the large manufacturer, and again he is unable to furnish the big quantities sometimes desired. To overcome this a combination of the small manufagturers has been necés- sary. The new company includes some of the best mills in Southern Minnesota, It is\also the intention of the pro- moters to include other lines of manu- facture in time, among which will be some of the independent manufacturers of linseed oil and oil cake in the North- west. L. E. Townsley, formerly with the Southern Pacific, will be in charge of the Chicago office. H. H. King is one of the Minneapolis men interested in the enterprise. N EXPECTED. BETTER TH Threshing Returns According toe Weather Bureau Reports. The Minnesota climate and crop ser- vice bulletin of the weather bureau for the past week contains the follow- ing summary: A moderately warm week, with high temperature in the southern portion the first of the week and on the 24th. Scattered light to heavy local showers occurred on the 20th and 2ist, and more widely distributed moderate local showers on the 24th. The showers de- tayed harvesting m the extreme north- ern counties, and also stacking and threshing, but were beneficial to late potatoes and corn. A severe storm of wind, rain and hail occurred at Min- neapolis on the evening of the 25th, and much damage was done by the wind and hail, especially in breaking glass. Considerable progress was made in harvesting in Polk, Marshall and Kitt- son counties, and the greater portion has been completed in that section. Threshing has continued, except where hindered by rains. The yields seem to be somewhat above expectations in the northern portion. In the northern por- tion of the middle section the corn and potato crops have improved in many localities, and in other sections they are generally light except in a few lo- calities. Corn is being cut for fodder in the southern: half of the state, and in many localities the pastures are al- most dried up, though the rains of the 24th should improve all growing crops and pastures in the favored localities. Plowing has been in progress during the week except where it has been too dry in some portions of the southern and middle sections, and where too wet in a few localities of the northern section. In central portions a large crop of hay has been secured, but the second crops of hay do n® promise well. The cutting of flax has advanced Into the northern section of the state, and threshing is in progress in the southern. The crop is generally poor. DELAYED BY STEEL STRIKE. Bids for Iron Work for the Capitol Will Probably Be Too High for Acceptance. “It is out of the question that the new capitol can be completed to be used by the new legislature as planned, a year from this winter.” said Chan- ning Seabury of the capitol commis- sion. Bids for the steam heating plant, electric lighting, boiler house and tun- nel to the capitol, amd skylights and copper work are to be opened Sept. 24. Mr. Seabury says the commission is almost sure to reject these bids be- eause they will be forced out of reason- able figures by the steel strike. No contractor who has to use steel in any form will make a bid, in view of the strike, without estimating a margin of profit which will make acceptance tm- possible. “This means work will be delayed a good year,” said Mr. Seabury. “We planned to put in the heating plant this fall so as to work all winter, but it now seems impossible.” LIVE STOCK AT THE FAIR. Lhe Exhibition Will Be the Greatest Ever Seen in the Wide Wortd. In 1900 the Minnesota State fair se- cured the national exhibit of the Ameri- ean Hereford Breeders’ association, and with the other animals shown set forth the largest livestock display ever made, In Chicago last fall the Minnesota ex- hibit was eclipsed, but the Minnesota men have now secured a joint exhibi- tion by the American Shorthorn Broga; ers’ association and the Hereford peo- ple, with large accessions from many other classes of breeders. The result will be such a gathering together of four-footed beasts as was never seen on the face of the earth. It will be a great occasion fer farmers who wish to study breeds and for every one who. likes to see a fine animal or who may be interested in bettering the condition of the farming districts.
