Practical Demonstration to the St. Paul Solons. CHEAPER 10 ORAIN THAN IRRIGATE Agricultural Products Grown on Reclaimed Swamp Land in Itasca and Beltrami Counties Objects of Much Comment. The exhibition of products grown on the reclaimed swamp lands of Itasca and Beltrami counties, which is now being beld in the secretary of state’s office in the old capitol, under the auspices of the Commercial club and the Jobbers’ union, of St. Paul, has been attracting a great deal of attention among the legislators and the public at large. The exhibit is in charge of John Abercrombie, of Alexandria, Mion., now president of the State. Drainage league. Mr. Abercrombie was form- erly chief engineer of the state topographic work, and bas been all over the swamp region. He is very enthusiastic in his efforts to attract the attention of the public toward this part of the state. Mr. Abercrombie describes the soil as being ideal foragricultucal pur- poses, and says that all that i required isa little work to assist nature in draining the land. He is ‘Of the opinion that a few dollars spent in this direction will guas far as a million dollars spent in the reclamation of the desert Jands of the West. Hesays it is much eaSier to get water out of a country, that it is to build dams andirrigating ditches to get water intoit. The work in northern Minnesota, if taken up, would beavery simple matter, in view of the great number of uatural waterways nature has provided. The ‘exhibition is open to the public and will continue throughout the week. Members of the leyisla- ture will view the exhibits, and it is probable that they will establish a permanent committee to investigate the matter of reclaiming the swamp lands. The Old Settters’ Party. Well the old settlers had their an- nual party and such a party. It was as good asa circus to see the older members of the society renew their youth and have a glorious good time and that they did have a good time goes without saying. It was, with- out question, the happiest gathering there has been in our village since the first party given by the old set- tlers, the 12th of February, 1906, There were about seventy-five couple in attendance, all that the hall would accommodate and they kept the fioor full from nine o’clock in the evening until three o'clock the next morning. The weather was a trifle cool, 48 be- low zero Monday morning and better than 30 below when the party broke up. A sumptuous supper was sérved from eleven until twelve and over 130 guests can testify to the fact that the ladies of the Episcopal guild are adepts in furnishing and serving a feast of good things. The music was furnished by the full orchestra, Al Roecker as leader with Wm. Wheaton as prompter. All of the good old contra dances were given and the way the older boys and girls enjoyed going through the vari- ous figures did one’s heart goed to see. Fifteer or sixteen guests were down from Deer River, while Cchasset and Bovey furnished a few couple. Truly “joy was unconfined” and the various committees tbat had the matter in charge are to be congratu- lated on the success attending this, their second annua! party and re- union. Among the guests from Deer River we noticed M. J. Baker and wife, C. M. King and wife, Arthur Brown and wife, Mrs. Wm. Martin, Mrs. Romans, Geo. McDonald and Chas. Birke. Peter Foley and wife weathered the extreme cold and drove over from Bovey to attend the party. Chas. Collinger and wife represent- ed Cohasset at the dance. \ Mr. and Mrs. John Fraser came up from their farm at Laprairie and seemed to enjoyed every minute of the time until ‘Old Dan Tucker” gave them ahiot that the fun was over.

Death of Mrs. Phillips. Last Monday occurred the funeral of Mrs. Al Phillips, from the Pres- Aoyterian church. The deceased had been a resident of Grand Rapids for many years before going to the farm at Splithand with her husband where they have made their home for the past five years. She had been in failing health for time and last fall went dgwn to her sister’s at Princeton for treatment. Failing to get relief there she was taken to Anoka and was under treatment there for some time when a sister living at Brainerd took her to her home and cared for her until her death which occurred the 31st day of January. Mr. Phillips was notified of her approaching death and hastened to join her, but ow- ing to the delays incident to delay- ed trains he did not arrive before her death. Mrs. Phillips was a consistant member of the Presbyterian church of this place and has been active in the work of the church during all the years of her residence here. Her husband has the sympathy ot the entime community in his great loss. some Famous Minstrels Coming.

A word to the| wise “‘get you Ss early.’”’ | County Agricultural Schools. One of the most meritorious bilis | before the present legislature as that providing for county agricultural schools. This is much preferable to the district agricultural schools bill, the districts to conform to the pres- ent congressional limits. What is needed is not schools to take the place of the present agricult- ural college, but such courses in the the practical kuowledge of farming which nearly all the pupils have, that scientific knowledge that would enlarge their viewpoint as to aricult- ure as well as enable them to in- crease the future profits. There should also be a sufficient amount of ground to be used in cone nection with the course for experi- ments, practical illustration and the support of a few animals. These schools would~ then bear the same relation to the State College of Agriculturre that bigh school in- dustrial courses do to the work ofa college of technology and design. They would bring directly to the farm the rudimentary scientific in- struction and training that have been proved essential to the best results in agriculture, and that more present high schools as would add to! is no reason why every high school in the state should not bave its agricult- ural aunex for spreading this intelli- gent happiness and contentment.— Duiuth News Tribune. TO AID THE HOMESTEADER A special dispatch from Washing- ton is reported as follows in the Bemidji Pioneer of the 6th inst.: Information of a joint resolution which was passed yesterday by congress that will prove a veritable God send to the thousands of home- steaders throughout this state and ithe state of North Dakota who had made éntry for government lands during the six mouths prior to Dec. Ist, and who have not yet taken up their actual residence upon them. | This Jaw allows an extension of time ‘in which to establish residence to | May 15th. As a genéral rule home- steaders are required to establish a residence within six months after | they make entry for the land, but through the passage of this bill ail | persons having made homestead entry, ‘whose six months within which to establish residence upon a claim did Lnot expire prior to Dec. Ist have their time extended to May 15th. The passage of the joint resolution was brought about through the efforts of Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota, and the information was re- ceived through a telegram which was received from the senator at the Fargo Jand office the 5th. The tele- ‘gram is as follows: “The joint resolution extending to May 15th, 1907, the time within which residence can be established by entry men who were required to go upon their lands after December 1, 1906, !s now a law.” than this bave been found to keep the farmer’s boy on the farm. The more pretentious school would necessarily aim to take the place of the state college without having the same equipment and advantages. They would add the expense of trayel and attending them, and this would place them beyond the greater majority of those that their belp and encouragement. But any such system will be wholly lopsided if it dose not provide for the girls as well as the boys.
