Came to a Good Market.
A.Teigen, who lives 34 miles east
of Worthington and only 4 miles from
Jackson, on Wednesday marketed
his wool clip cf over 1500 pounds at
the Hart Commission Co's. warehouse
here. The best offer Mr. Teigen had
on wool at home was 18 cfnta per
pound and the party who offered that
did net come back. He got 21 cents
for it here, and made over $45 on the
lot by marketing it in Worthington.
The Hart Commission Co. is the lar
gest wool buyer in southern Minne
sota, and have established a reputa
tion for square dealing and paying
top prices that has put all competi
tion in the shade. Worthington is a
good market for all kinds of farm pro
ducts in spite of all the knocking that
has been done.

Worthington's Hoodoo Still Do
ing Business at the Old
Stand.
fyishmore's Ball Team Wiped the
Diamond With the Lo
cal Agregation.
Tuesday afternoon a small frag
ment of Worthington shook off the
somnolent and sanctimonious lethar
gy which has enveloped the burg
since the great revival, and hied to
the fair grounds to witness an alleged
exhibition of the natial game.
Rushmore's swift and undefeated
ball team was invited over to give our
dudding ball nine a little practice,
but the result demonstrated that the
local management had made a serious
error of judgement. Bushmcre has a
ball team this
year
hasn't,
and Worthington
therefore our boys shouldn't
have gone beyond Org in challenging
to combat.
Two or three of our boys had been
playing catch on the street for a we*
and thought they could play ball.
Between this and other towns "they
picked up a nine that had seen the
game played and knew a few of the
rules, and asked Bushmore to come
on. Bushmore came, saw, and con
quered.
It would be little short of cruelty
to animals to describe the game so
will confine it to the Bcore, which tells
the whole woeful story. Worthing
ton changed pitchers every inning
up to to the 6th, when Johnson of
Heron Lake was put in the box, and
he held the visitors clown a little, just
a little.
The following is the score by in
nings:
Bushmore. 5 0 7 1 2 0 3 3 2—23

annual Conference to be held
at Marshall in September.
Previdus to the-holding of the
quarterly conference, the members of
the-church voted for delegate* to the
Lay Electoral Conferencr which also
meets at Marshall. Geo. W. Patter
was chosen as delegate and Fred
Goff as reserve delegate. At this
meeting a resolution was unanimous-.
1 ypassed, placing A. T. Latta in the
field as a candidate for delegate to
General Conference, which meets at
Baltimore, Md., in May, 1908. Four
ministerial and four lay delegate are
to be elected by the Minnesota Con
ference.
Mr. Latta is worthy of the cofiderice
repose in him by the church, and de
serves to be elected. He would make
a splendid delegate and his election
would be an honor to Worthington
as well as tt) the local church.
A Sad Accident
A very sad and serious accident
occurred Wednesday afternoon near
Okabena, when a team of John Ul
fer's, which was hitched to a binder,
runaway and in their blind fright
ran over his little four year old son
killing him instantly, the body being
literally cut to pieces. This is the
first harvest accident we have been
called upon to record this season and
ifris certainly a sad one. The grief
stricken parents have the sympathy
of the entire community in their sad
bereavment.—Heron Lake Times.

A Trip Thru, the West.
Kettle Falls was a wonderful sight.
An immense island of rock is situat-'
ed in the center of the Columbia riv
er and the water formed a rapid sue
cession of falls on each side and came
together at the end of the island with
a tremendus fall and rapids that ex
tend far down the river.
Great black holders project Jar out
above the falls. On examination jve
found that these holders were of tfe*
finest marble rock. We climbed tip
Until we could look hundreds of feet
below and see the rushing river..
Steps or layers of this marble rock
lead far out into the terrible, rushing
rapids of the Columbia river. We
could easily go out on th&e layers
but it was far more difficult to get
back. We also went to Myres Falls
which is located near here on the Cql
ville river. They were grand, but
their magnificance was of a different
nature (rom those of the Columbia
river.
We attended a Fourth of July cel
ebration at Colville, which is a very
prosperous town/ We left Colville
July 5th for Tacoma by way of Spo
kane. We went thru Yakama val
ley, crossed the mountains and could,
see at a distance the snow-capped
peaks of M^s. Tacoma, Hood, and
Anam.
Tacoma is a beautiful resident ci
ty. It is said "Tacoma is the city of
homes, jwhiie Seattle is a city of buqj
nes8." The largest ware houses of
the United States are located in Ta
coma. They are three miles in length
and one hundred fifty feet wide.
The great wheat sheds, located here,
are 2625 feet long and make a won
derful sight. We saw 'an ocean
steamer, "The Fremont", load and
unlpad its cargo.' It has the capacity
of 45,000 tons and travels to China,
apan and other 'Asiatic -countries.
Large, quantises of mahogany wood
and hemp were unloaded. Tfo
hemp came direct from the Philip
pine Islands.
Wlillero Tacooia we went to Point
Defiance park, which contains two
hundred acres. The Nirredes Salt
baths acres. Bites park is another
beautiful park of Tacoma. It was
donated by a Philadelphia gentle
man with the understanding there
should be*no "Keep off the Grass"
signs on the grounds.
During our stay at Yelm, 'near Ta
coma, we visited a very pretty forest
lake, which was entirely surrounded
by a thick forest. This lake is eight
miles long and eighty rdds wide.
Passing thru the fcrpst we saw var
ious pretty birds, among them the
Chinese pheasants, noted for their
beautiful plumage. These birds are
a native of Eurasia but have bean
imported to. the Uptted States and
are now found in Washington, Oregon
and Idaho
We drove twenty miles with a
