They have now played two games and have not Icst a single one. The first] victory was wrested from the court house bunch, and last evening the stunt was repeated when they de- feated the Interstate Mining com- pany’s team by a score of 11 to 4. The session was so full of exciting and unusual plays that the report- er could not possibly be expected to get them all. The field was somewhat muddy and this made sliding to bases an easy matter, and me of the plays were as close nine feet, sliding was a neces- sity. Everyone hit the ball freely, but no one is entitled to more cred it than Charlie Pogue, who made three bases on a foul.

Sisler of Laprairie, favor- ed the Herald-Review office witha visit on Monday, bringing with him two boxes of strawberries grown on his farm. The berries are of large size and excellent quality, and while Mr. Sisler only raises straw- berries as a side line and for his own use, the growing of this crop would prove a profitable industry for anyone wishing to take up the culture on a larger scale. The strawberry matures in Northern Minnesota after the crop from sec- tions further south has’ been ex- hausted, and in many cases brings early season prices on this account. Not many shipments have been made from this section as yet, but gardeners in the neighborhood of Cohasset have been extending their berry patches and several of them will next year be large ship- pers. This is one of the best ready money crops that can be grown, and as the berries raised in this sec- tion are of exceptional size and quality, our farmers would do well to pay more attention to the pos- sibilities of this branch of indus- try.

The Her- FOR WARDEN WOOD: Bemidji Paper Calls Atiention to a Few Things That Make Such Course Improbable. The Bemidji Sentinel says that serious complications in which pri- son walls form a part await Geo. Woods, the deposed Hibbing game! warden,if he or his friends attempts to “start anything,’ according to some plain statements made here last night by H. A. Rider, execu- tive agent of the game and fish commission. Mr. Rider brought a car load of! trout and bass to Bemidji to be! planted in the waters in this vici-, nity. During the past few days reports have come from Hibbing and Vir- ginia that Mr. Woods is openly mak- ing the charge that his dismissal is} “all polities,” and that his friends! intexid to petition the game and fish commission to have him reinstated. Mr. Rider smiled at these r ports and while not willing to dis- cuss the case at length was ex tremely framk in what he did say. “If Mr. Woods friends come to St. Paul in his behalf, they cer- tainly will be told the facts as we have them, no matter what the re- sult may be.” “Does that mean that Mr. Woods is in danger of criminal prosecu- tion?” Mr. Rider was asked. “The commission has been len- ient with Mr. Woods and if the facts are forced from us we can not be blamed. The assertion that polities has anything to do with the case is as ridiculous as the efforts of his friends to have us re-instate him. He certainly would not be re-instated if I had anything to do with it and I believe that every member of the commission feels the same way. “The commission always has had trouble with Mr. Woods. I never have been able to get him to make proper reports. It is true that he has made a large number of ar- rests. Perhaps he made too many.” Mr. Rider’s attitude was that when the Hibbing warden turned his star over to Warden 8. C. Bailey of this city and was permit- ted to go about his business un- molested that he was shown every consideration by the game and the fish commission and that if he now wishes his dismissal fully air- ed, that acourt of justice might be the proper place for such a pro- ceeding. Mr. Rider’s fish car contained thir- ty cans of Brown trout, a new var- iety, said to be splendidly adapted to these waters. Seventy cans of trout were turned over to Colon- el Henry Funkley to be dumped into the Baudette river and other streams north of Solway. Several cans of bass were dumped into Swanson’s lake. Mr. Rider left this morning, re- | turning to St. Paul. May Start Land Clearing. The land clearing congress at Duluth seems to have had the ef- fect of awakening people to the bilities for a fine business by| ng up land clearing ona large scale. The News Tribune says} that Herman Hughes of Red Top, Aikin county, has been in Duluth} the past week investigating the dif- ferent methods and appliances used: in clearing lands. Mr. Hughes is al mechanical engineer, but was com- pelled fo give up his profession al- most two years ago and seek ‘out- door work. He has been investigating the! question of land clearing under the | contract system for some time, and; is considering the advisability of starting in the business. Hearing of the Duluth land clearing conven- tion, he decided to come here and talk with agriculturists regarding the plan. Mr. Hughes expects to visit Gra @ Rapids, where he will consult with A. J. McGuire, superintendent of the North Central Experiment sta- tion, regarding the results that have been accomplished there with both stump pullers and dynamite, and ascertain the average cost per acre. ‘He says he is willing to put in considerable capital in a wholesale land clearing outfit if it is eviden- ced there is sufficient demand! from the farmers.

Below we reprint an article from che Duluth Herald which should prove of interest to every farmer in Northern Minnesota. Mr. T. ven the subject considerable study, and his suggestions might be worth while looking into further: 3 “While the Northern Minnesota Development association at its meeting in Duluth, is devising some plan to stump and clear land cheaply and effectively, why would it not be a good idea to talk over a state or Northern seed farm? When land is ready for crops the next important thing is to get good, clean, pure, adapted | seed to plant. Some may think be- cause we have a pure seed law that the problem is solved, but far front it. No more so than the transpor- tation question is solved under the anti-trust law. The only sure solu- tion of the transportation problem is not alone government control, but government ownership and opera- tion of all instruments of commerce Whe individual farms are not equipped to raise and handle all kinds of seeds. They are compell- ed to buy of seedhouses which do not have much regard for the Gol- den Rule, and I know of no excep- tion to this rule. I have dealt with most of them and they send out all kinds of impure seeds and corn for this state that wouldn't ripen in six months’ extended time. A firm sent corn last year in this dis- trict—a great many bushels of it— at $4.50 per bushel, and not one ear ripened and we had no frost that did any injury till Sept. 25. Our native corn was out of the way of the frost ten days before it came. Now in my opinion the state or the Northern Minnesota Devel- opment association could secure a tract of land in a suitable location and develop it into an institution that would result in a saving of} thousands of dollars every year to! the farmers and at the same time become a paying investment tothe state or association. I make this suggestion at this time because I believe such a plan if carried out would be one of the prime factors in the settling up, advertising and| developing of Northern Minnesota, for seeds grown on this farm would’ ‘Le in gocd demand all over the | Northwest state, for they would) be exactly what they represented, and that’s what we need and can’t get now.” Old Settler Dies. Joseph Mitchell, father of Mrs. Frank McCormick, died at the home, of his daughter last Saturday morning. He was 75 years of age and death was due to infirmities of his advanced years. He forterly lived in Aitkin county, where he started one of the first farms in the neighborhood of the county seat. He was a Canadian by birth, but came to this country at an early age and spent the greater par of his time in Northern Minnesota, | which he has seen grow from a wilderness inhabited by nothing Lut Indians to a section of fine | farms and prosperous towns. The | funeral was held from the Catholic church at 9 o'clock on Monday. morning, and interment made in Itasca cemetery. Flowing Wells at Deer River. Well drillers have been busy in the Deer River section for several | weeks, making new flows and start- | ing contracts for more work of that|’ nature. During the past two years about 50 flowing wells have been found in the vicinity of Deer River, and drillers are daily finding new springs. ak The latest strike was made yes- terday by Charles Lovelace on the! Arnold Wright property. An unusu- ally large spring was found at a into a pump well. Many of the farmers have been equipped with surface flows at a small expense. ; Twenty Days for Larceny.

The story is told that when the new | proprietor of the London Times first went over the building in Printing House square he saw a door covered with cobwebs which wouldn't open. After they had waited a long-time an aged caretaker was found - burdened with enormous keys, one of which fitted the rusty lock, and after great straining turned it. Inside were dust and ashes and cobwebs and—a skele- ton! It was leaning over a table with a@ pen in tts bone fingers. “What on earth is this?" they asked. “Oh, I re member hearing that in my _ great- great-grandfather’s days they lost one of their leader writers,” said the. old key bearer. “He must have got locked in?’—London Sketch. ea neentiteennensse Moving a Billiard Table.

Ny 1g News of Especial Interest to Minnesota Readers, GRAIN RECEIPTS ARE LARGE New High Record Reached at Minne- apolis for the Present Crop Year of 1912-1913. Edward S. Hughes, assistant secre- tary of the Minneapolis chamber of commerce, announces that the total grain receipts of the present crop year have reached nearly 200,000,000 bushels, over 59,000,000 bushels more than in the corresponding time in the crop year preceding and exceed- ing all former records for complete years, but the indications are that the crop year that will end Aug. 31 will show 220,000,000 bushels received, or 60,000,000 more than ever before re- corded. In the crop year 1904-1905 the total Minneapolis receipts were 156,346,440 bushels and in the record year 1908- 1909 the total was 160,446,660. The Minneapolis flour mills have had the most active productive period in their history. When the calendar year 1912 closed the total production had gone above the 17,000,000 barrel total, making a new productive record that will again be passed in the record for the crop year that will end Aug. 31. COLONEL SHEEHAN IS DEAD Hero of Famous Defense of Fort Ridge- ly in 1862. Colonel Timothy J. Sheehan, hero of the famous defense of Fort Ridgely in 1862, pioneer of Minnesota and prominent in many battles of the Civil war, died at his home in St. Paul after an illness of nearly a year. He had been in ill health for several years, but since last August had not been able to leave his bed. His age, seventy-eight years, combined with the weakening effects of seven wounds which he received during his career as a soldier, made the battle for life a losing struggle. Colonel Sheehan had lived in Min- nesota since 1857 and distinguished himseif in several of the early battles with the Indians, as well as in the He was the commander in the famous defense of Fort Ridgely in August, 1862, when the fort was be- sieged by the Indians for eight days. He also was in command of one di- vision of the army in the last Indian fight against the Chippewas at Sugar Point in 1898. He gained the rank of Heutenant governor in the Civil war.

Commandant Lambert’s Simple Report of the Desperate Conflict With the Bavarians That Was immortalized In De Neuville’s Famous Painting. A famous French battle painting called “The Last Cartridges,” the work of Alphonse de Neuville, represents the perate defense of an old house at Bazeilles by a handful of French ma- rines against great odds. Doubt hav- ing been cast upon the authenticity of this episode, the French government has published the official report made by Commandant Lambert, who com- manded the detachment at Bazeilles. The report is simply a plain, unvar- nished recital of the events of a thrill- ing and heroic series of engagements in which undaunted bravery and reck- less courage were truly displayed and which would furnish abundant mate- rial for a dramatist in need of a text for a stirring play. This is the brief story as it was recounted by the brave commandant: Lambert had been wounded by a ball in the leg and was unable to walk more than a few steps. With a few officers and a detachment of his soldiers, cut off from the main body of the French army, he took refuge in an isolated house at the highest point in Bazeilles and defended it against the Germans. Firing from the windows and any other openings that they could find, the soldiers inflicted heavy loss upon the enemy, who swarmed through the streets of the town. They believed that they would soon be rescued by their own troops. They still heard the sound of their mitrailleuses and the detonations of the French chassepots, which they could distinguish perfectly well from the sounds of the guns of the Bava- rians about them. They did not know that these sounds came from a French force as hopeless- ly walled in as they themselves were and that the main body of their coun- trymen had deserted them. At one time, seeing a chance for their escape, Lambert tried to send his comrades away while he and a few soldiers were to remain and fall into the hands of the enemy, but they re- fused to go. Meantime projectiles of all sorts were raining into the old house. Bullets perforated the doors and windows until but little re: of them. The building was entirely surrounded by the Fifteenth Bavarian regiment. a rae A bombshell crashed through “the roof, bearing down with it several men. “Others were cut down by Vava- rian bullets. But the fight went on for a long time, and the Frenchmen were able to-keep their assailants at bay. At last, however, the ammunition gave out. As the last cartridges were fired the men, having heard the Bava- rians’ demand that no quarter be given those Frenchmen because of the heavy losses they had inflicted, proposed to issue from the building with charged bayonets and sell their lives dearly in a hand to hand conflict. But their commandér, the wounded Lambert, waited until the last car- tridge was fired; then he limped through the door and confronted the Swarming Bavarians alone. He de clared that if they killed him it would be time for his soldiers to die, and it was possible that he, their commander, could make some terms for them. As soon as he limped out and stood with folded arms a dozen bayonets were at his breast. He would have been Killed in another instant if the Bavarian captain had not, at the risk of his own life, precipitated himself upon the French officer and beaten back his own men. Infuriated by the frightful loss which the defenders had would have put the whole detachment to death. The Bavarian captain prevailed, and the Frenchmen were made prisoners of war. The Bavarian officer congrat- ulated the French commander warmly upon the desperate and heroic stand they had made. Right and Left Hands.
