LAK&LUUAN
LETTER.
LAKE LILLIAN, May 20.—Mr.
Anderson, agent for Dr. Cook's
remedies, was around here last
week.
Rev. C. 0 Peterson held services
in the Roselillian schoolhouse last
Sunday forenoon.
Willie and Esther Heglund vis
ited with Miss Ellen Skutle in
town of Roseland on Sunday of last
week. While going home they got
caught in the hail storm.
Miss Ellen Peterson has been vis
iting at her home the past week.
Corn planting is the order of the
day out here. Altho Jack Frost is
quite hard on corn we will have to
risk it.
Messrs. Peckenpaugh and Snyder
of Olivia considered that their lives
were not worth more than four sil
ver dollars. That is the amount
they gave Mr. E. Danielson for sav
ing them from a watery grave in
Big Kandiyohi lake. Well, they
should be the best judges of what
they are worth.
The law forbids the killing of
mink, but it does not forbid the
minks to kill our chickens, so we
suppose there is no other way for
us to do but to have the minks ar
rested as chicken thieves and send
them to the county jail.
A big party of Oliviaites was
fishing at Big Kandiyohi lake last
week. They caught quite a nice
string of fish.
The Swedish Lutheran paro
chial school at Christine church
commences today, Monday, with
Miss Minnie Peterson as teacher.
Our assessor has been calling on
the farmers the past two weeks.
Andrew Latt has been busy the
past week painting and repairing
the meeting house.
Andrew Forsman lost a good
horse the other night. That is the
second horse he has lost in a short
time.
Fritz Larson, who has been in the
pineries the past winter, came up
here for a visit for some time.
The Peter Hanson house was
plumb full of visitors last Sunday
afternoon, all relatives.
0 H. Peterson and wife and P.
N. Peterson and bride, of Long
Lake, visited at Wm. Lindquist's
home on Sunday of last week.
Deputy Sheriff "Palmlund of Ren
ville county was out here last week
and arrested Eddie Hagan and
brought him to Olivia as a pris
oner. We understand that there
are several charges against him,
and he will be given a hearing by
the court this week.
John Aspaas of Svea, our popular
mail carrier, and Mrs. Aspaas vis
ited at Foreman's place last Sunday.
Mrs. Chas. Erickson was taken
quite sick one day last week. Dr.
Puffer of Bird Island was called and
found that she was paralyzed on one
side. She is recovering now.
Mr. and Mrs. Ole Westlund were
visitors at Ole E. Erickson's home
last Sunday.
Erick Lof and family moved over
to L. Peterson's farm last Mon
day. They have rented the house
for the summer.
Wheat is up in price now when
the farmers have none to sell. The
Board of Trade is an injury to the
farmers. It is only good for rob
bing a lot of people and making a
few big bugs richer. Why can't a
law be passed to abolish sueh
things?
ROSELAND

Mrs. A. Siervogel of Chippewa

STATION AGENTS MEET
The Association Held Its Monthly
Meeting in Benson Last
Sunday.
The Station Agents' Association
of the Willmar Division held their
monthly meeting at Benson last Sun
day. There are about sixty agents
in the district. They were nicely
treated by the Benson people. The
mayor was on hand to welcome
them, and an orchestra had been
provided to play at the hotel while
they were at the table. These are
strenuous days for the railroad men,
new rates and regulations making
more work and especially bringing
out new points to be met which
had not been foreseen. The object
of this association is to discuss all
matters of special interest to
agents. Some official from the
general offices is invited to each
meeting to address the association
and acquaint the men more thoroly
with the workings of his depart
ment. They in turn are benefitted
by the discussion of the men who
are scattered over the field and
must meet the conditions as they

VI.—Early Merchants.
The prize this week was awarded
to Hilda Peterson, of Lake Eliza
beth. Nearly all the solvers had
the correct solutions. All the ans
wers were to be found on page 41
of the county history. As usual,

of Norway Lake, which at first in
cluded five congressional townships
Unfortunately the records of those
earlier town meetings, neatly kept
by Mr. Lien, have been lost. (If
they have been located since 1904
the publisher would esteem it as a
great favor to learn of it.) Mr
Lien served as Judge of Probate in
Kandiyohi county from 1879 to 1885.
He is a resident of the city of Will
mar.
No. 20—Hugh Blakely. (page
360). One of the first settlers in
Roseville in the "Paynesville set
tlement." Read his reminiscenses
of the early days and Indian out
b?eakori page 355. Lives still on
tlie old claim of ^is" father-in-law,
August Schmidt, the first perma
nent settler of Roseville, who lo

Early settler of Harrison, which

there were hardly any schools to
superintend. Used a caustic pen
and contributed some spicy articles
to the early newspapers. The early
records of School Dist. No. 19 (page
358) contain some relics from the
pen of this character.
Praises Our Players.
The ball game played here last
Saturday afternoon between the
Willmar Seminary and Kerkhoven
team was won by the latter by a
score of 10 to 5. It was a good
game and close enough up to the
eighth inning to be decidedly inter
esting. Several hits our boys made
in the eighth inning—aided by sev
eral errors by the Willmar players
—netted the locals five runs in that
inning and gave them a lead the
Willmar boys couldn't overcome.
The game was entirely free from
any disagreeable wrangling, the
players on both sides conducting
themselves in a proper manner, and
we feel it our duty to give the vis
itors credit for being the most gen
tlemanly lot of ball players it has
ever been our good fortune to see
on a ball field.—Kerkhoven Banner.
Mrs. John A. Johnson returned
from Minneapolis last Sunday even
ing, where she had been staying
with her daughter Minnie, who is
recovering from an operation that
was performed on the 10th of this

operated upon before it was entire

from their ranks.

Edgar T. Munson writes from
Osnabrook, N. D., that the first
seeding was done around there on
the 14th of May and that on the
17th seeding was in full blast.
Upon this latter date he said they
still had a snow bank in town 5 feet
3 inches high. These conditions,
however, have not discouraged
them. They anticipate a good crop.
