The value of the property is said to be $1,500,000, this estimate” being the cost of reproduction. The divi- aena would pay less than 1 per cent interest on this investment.

The scheme lcoks both humane and profitable, providing outdoor labor for these men and putting | the waste lands in shepe for cul- tivation. Cloquet Votes Out Saloons. Cloquet, one of ine foremost | lumber-manufacturing towns in | Northern Minnesota, performed rather am unexpected stunt on election day last week by voting out its 17 saloons and declaring itself a dry municipality.

Farmers’ generally throughout the county have completed their fall plowing. Reports from all locations are to the effect that more land ‘has been broken up this fall than ever before im the history of the county, by far the greater part of this work now being done at this time of the year. For a tong time agricultural instructors and journals ‘have preached the wisdom of turning over all the land possible in the fall. but many farmers have been slow to adopt the advice, prefering to allow the work vw go until the following spring. Slowly the advantages of fall plowing have made themselves apparent. and there are but few now who donot do the greater part of this. work while the weather permits after the harvest is over. Should Help Wardens. Im an open letter addressed to, the people of the sfate generally. Executive Agent Rider of the state game and fish commission calls upon all to aid the wardens im en- forcing the laws relating to game and fish im the state. In his letter Mr. Rider says that the appropria- tions are insufficient for carrying qnthe work and that it will be impossible to give the protection intended by law unless all citizens join in helping to keep down il- jegal practices. Mr. Rider points out that every one is as interested ‘in preserving tha supply as the commission is and asks their aid in suppressing law-breaking. Alfalfa Seed. ' Secretary W. R. Mackenzie of the Northern Minnesota Develop- | ment association has completed negotiations with the Crookston Experimental farm for a supply of alfalfa seed, which may be secur- ed at a cost of about $12 per bushel. It is “Montana Grimms,” and is guaranteed and vouched for by the department of agriculture of the state. In a communication to the press Mr. Mackenzie says | Two Dollars a Year MUCH INTEREST IN PIANO VOTE Several Ladies are Nip and Tuck ia Race for Prize Offered to Best Hustlers. 200,009 MARK 1S THE HIGHEST Others are Crowding Close and it is is Anybody’s Victory Who Wi Devote a Little Time to Hustling. This week sees the highest con- testant in the piano offer made by the Herald-Review and the Al- len Dry Goods company reach the 200,000 mark. ‘lhis contestant is No. 32 on the list, and she has had no advantages that are not offered to others if they will only embrace them. Last week No. 53 was the highest with 99,000 votes, while the leader this week had but 92,210, a gain for her during the week of 107,790 votes. This may seem like something of a lead to overcome this week as her’s was last week. for instance, there is one lady ‘with 168,500 votes to her credit; another has 149,755, eand still an- other 147,735. None of these were ‘over the 100000 mark at the last report and their success only ‘shows what a little hustling will do. Quite a number have thie week boosted their standing by ‘bringing im subscriptions to the Herald-Review, they receiving 3000 vates for each new subscriber or renewal ithey procure, and*when it ‘is considered that you are able to. offer the, best paper in the county at a price of a dollar per year the ease with which your vote can be increased by this means should be ‘apparent. Come im and get your subscription blanks and hustle. You wan. increase your standing more quickly in this way than by any other process as almost, anyone you approach will be glad to give their subscription or renewal at the reduced price. “The Herald- Review will gladly furnish you with the necessary blanks if you will call for them. Watch the standing of your favor ite from week to week, ang get busy. If you are a candidate, get your friends interested in selling subscriptions to the Herald-Review —you will be surprised at the ease and rapidity wilh which) this method will swell your vote. Southwest Buys Potatoes. D. C. Biddick, fornmierly a resi- dent here, now a member of the commission house of Peterson & Biddick at Wadena, was here this week looking after potatoes for his firm. Mr. Biddick recently return- ed from a trip to the southwest where he disposed of 80 carloads of potatoes to Omaha, Denver and Kansas Cily buyers. The crop in that section of the country suf- fered from the drought the past season and the dealers are looking to the Northwest for their supply. Mr. Biddick says that Northerm Northern Minnesota potatoes are ab a premium as their excellent quali- ty ig. well recognized even that far from home. Dr. Dumas Paroled. Dr. D. F.
