The county treasurer has been busy the past week taking in the first half of the taxes on real estate for the year 1905. Half of the taxes for the year were due on the first of the present month and the balance will be due on the 1st of October.

The mail carrier on the route which crosses the Cottonwood river where the authorities ha veremoved the bridge, was unable to make his trip Monday and has informed them that the bridge will have to be replaced in some man ner or it will be his duty to report the matter to the government. It is seldom at any time of the year that the water in the Minnesota river is as high as it has been the past week or so, and particularly is this true at this time of the year. Much of the low land along the course of the river has been under water and a large part of it will not be cultivated. Most of this is corn land and has yielded large amounts of that grain, some of it has been plowed and some of it has been so wet that farmers nave been unable to get on it with a plow. ^-The city has been well billed for the annual picnic of the Modern Wood men camps that is to be held at Made lia on the 21st of this month.

The score was something awful on both sides, but the attraction seems to have interested a large number of people. There has been considerable c©m plaint among the business men of the city in regard to the condition of Min nesota street. It has not only been dis agreeably muddy, but when the rain ceases the sprinkler is scarcely able to keep the dust down. This is due to the vast amount of accumulations that have piled up on it during the winter months, and which should have been scraped off in the early spring. The street will bother all summer on this account and to the grocery men especi ally will be a nuis ance. Several of the papers which come t'^ this office from other cities ha* complaints of the desecration orial day during the time of th( ces of the veterans, contrary it provisions of the law and the I ment of the people.

Bruce Kennedy has been teacher in that district for a number of terms and has given the very best sat isfaction. R. E. Evans of Cambria has been enjoying a visit from his sister whose home is in Plymouth, Pa. Mr. Evans has not seen her since they were chil dren together at the old home and was unable to recognize her when she got off the train at Cambria. She stayed with him for several weeks and last week departed for her home. Mr. Evans will leave in a short time, for Wisconsin points where he will spend sometime with friends. His wife who has been ill for sometime will accom pany him in the hope that the trip will be of benefit to her. &$&*"" The present high water in the Cot tonwood river emphasises the necessi ty of a better and more permanent crossing of the river at the point be low the mill where there is a dry weather bridge. On account of the water and the probability that the bridge would be swept down stream it was necessary to remove it and wait until the river lowered itself before the people on the other side of the ^river could be able to cross without the necessity of going several miles out of their way. With a bridge at the end of Broadway there would be no neces sity for all this bother each time the water gets high enough to be noticeable.

M^ privilege of sending off for _^/arggy but in justice to some of the Herald readers we made a trsrough investi gation of this matter. A well known farmer in Town Albin sent and got the same identical buggy for $82.45. Some of the local dealers examined the rig and found that they could sell a heavi and better rig for $85 to $69. No one sympathizes with anyone who blindly buys an article away from home when he can get a better one for less money of the local dealers.—Sleepy Eve HbPald. The o'd settlers of Sundown, Willow Lake and adjoining townships, Red wood county, will hold their annual picnic. Tuesday, June l£th. This pic nic is one of the annual big events of Redwood county and is always large ly attended. The old folks get together' and talk over events of days gone^by^ the young folks get together and hare a good time, and probably talk Qf the days to come, while the picnic is a mecca for all the politicals of the county. The old settlers of this com munity should organise an association of this kind, have yearly meetings, se cure some gooi. speakers, land make it an occasion where all can gather and spend a pleasant day, regardless of "race, creed or previous condition of servitude."
