The new company will take charge about the first of December. Grant Richardson, a farmer living south of Barnesville, has beéome crazy.

Thomas Summers, who was arrested by Deputy Game Warden Loman for killing a moose out of season, was ac- Aitted oy a jury at Spooner.

He went out alone in a boat. and failing to return, search was made and his body was found in the boat.

Farm School Will Send a Fine Bunch of Cattle to Chicago. Minnesota has been’ holding its own six years at the Chicago live stock show, taking one grand and two re- served championships. This year, from the way the field looks, Minneso- ta should add another grand cham- pionship to its list. Andy, the little Angus, winner of the reserved championship last year, stands a good show of taking the grand championship this year again. The St. Anthony Park experiment station will send one herd of pure- bred Angus, one herd of pure-bred Herefords, one herd of cross-breds and one herd of Shorthorns. Some stock for breeding purposes will be sent also, ~ Prof. Andrew Boss and Prof. D. A. Gaumitz will go with the cattle. A large number of students will also at- tend.

Chamberlain of Red Lake Is Named for President, The last. general session of the Northwestern Minnesota Educational association was held in the Congrega- tional church at Crookston and was marked by discussions on educationa, possibilities by Superintendents Mc ENCOURAGING FACTS THOSE CONTEMPLATING CHANGE OF RESIDENCE SHOULD ~- READ THEM. The other day the writer was in the Office of the Canadian Government at St. Paul, Minnesota. On the windows of the building were signs to the effect that homesteads of 160 acres were given frée to actual settlers, and in the windows were displays of wheat, oats, barley, other grains and vege- tables, which he was told were grown in Western Canada. This could: be readily believed for in no other coun- try on the Continent would it be pos- sible to grow such splendid specimens. The world is now pretty well advised that in the growing of such cereals as have been named and vegetables as well the Provinces of Manitoba, Saskatchewan and Alberta have no competitor. For several years past specimens have been exhibited at State and County Fairs throughout the State, and these exhibits are looked upon as one of the chief attractions. They have demonstrated what can be done in the climate of a country pos- sessing a soil that will grow things. But that it was possible to grow vege- tables such as were seen there seemed to create some doubt. But it was the case. And apples too. Not of course the splendid fruit grown in countries more congenial to such cul- ture, but they were in evidence. Throughout Indiana, the hoosier farm- ers were forced to stop and think. When a similar exhibit was placed be- fore them during the past few weeks, many of them were forced to stop and remark: “That.is much ahead of any- thing we can do. The quality of the grain we have conceded, for has not so-and-so sent us samples grown on his own farm the like of which we had never seen before. But to think of the vegetables—and such vegetables.

The church was overcrowded all through the meeting. The association elected the following officers: President, Supt. E. W. Chamberlain, Red Lake Falls; vice president, Supt. Ingmaar Boraas, Ada; secretary and treasurer, Mrs. Elizabeth Sadley, Crookston. The aft- ernoon was taken up with ten round. table discussions, led by prominent educators, and later 500 of the dele- gates visited the state experiment sta- tion, where they were the guests of Prof. and Mrs. William Robertson for several hours. GOVERNOR GOING EAST. He Will Hear Rates Case Arguments in Washington. Goy. Join A. Johnson will attend the national rivers and harbors con- gress to be held in Washington, D. C., Dee. 5. “The legislative rate case will come up for argument before the United States supreme court Dec. 2,” said Gov. Johnson. “As that is but a few days before the rivers and harbors congress, I shall go to Washington in time to attend the rate case; not that my presence there can help the state’r case at all, but because of my interest in the litigation.” Gov. Johnson has declined two invi- tations to make addresses in the East. One invitation was to deliver an ad- dress in Carnegie hall, New York city, at a date to suit himself. The other was for delivery of a speech before the New England society in Brooklyn. MUSKRAT HUNTERS FINED. Several Have Been Anticipating the Season. Numerous violations of the law pro- hibiting the trapping of muskrats be- fore Nov. 15 have been reported to the state game and fish commission, and a number of violators have been fined. Four reports were received in one day of men who had been fined $30 each and in each case the com- plaint was for illegally killing three muskrats. Reports of such prosecu: tions have been coming for several weeks, the fines in most cases being so heavy as to stop the practice. The skins are not of value during the early fall, so that the commission feels that there is no excuse for slaughtering the animals until the open season, which is from Nov. 15 to April 15. MORE ARSON LATELY. State’ Fire Marshal. Suspects Many Fires Are Incendiary. The state fire marshal believes ar- son is materially on the increase in Minnesota. The number of fires re- ported is considerably in excess of the number one year ago. The reports as to origin are given to a large extent as “unknown.” During the last week four fires believed to have been of in- cendiary origin have come to light and will be investigated by the state de partment, Changing Times. “There’s a Wall street man out in front,” announced the shop boy. “You wait on him,” said the jeweler. “I’m busy with this farmer gentle- man.
