SPECIAL ILLUSTRATED EDITION
WILLMA TRIBUN
Willmar Tribune will observe Minnesota
Newspaper Week, Oct. 10-16, by the issuing
of a Special Edition devoted to the showing
up of the resources and advantages of the county
and state. The idea is that every live newspaper
within the state make an issue on that week, that
may be sent by the people of their respective com
munities to friends and relatives in other states.
We are ambitious to make this issue a hummer
for Kandiyohi County. We will have in addition
to our regular paper a special section of at least
eight pages, filled entirely with illustrations and
descriptive matter.
There will be special articles on Minnesota by Gov. W.
S. Hammond, Geo. Authier, Dr. Cyrus Northrop, Julius A.
Schmahl, C. G. Schulz, C. E. Elmquist, Carlos Avery, Walter
Smith, J. A. O. Preus, J. J. Farrell, A. H. Turritin, John H.
Hohnmann, relating to the various interests which they re
present.
Another splendid feature will be a copy-righted article
by Frank M. Eddy on "Minnesota, the Land of Opportunity."
The illustrations and most of the descriptive matter, how
ever, will relate to
KANDIYOHI COUNTY
making the edition a great broadside delivered for the show
ing of the resources and advantages of our county. Illustrated
pages will be devoted to Dairying, Cattle and Swine Raising,
Fruit Growing, City and Villages with their Industries, etc.
Our regular paper will form a part of this edition and will
serve to show what our regular paper is like. There will be
no special space advertising solicited for the feature sections
as we need the space for illustrations and reading matter. We
expect that the sale of copies at 10 cents per copy will reim
burse us for the heavy expense of the undertaking. To make
this issue a complete success we need the co-operation of peo
ple in all parts of the county. We will be glad to get your
order for any number, be it five copies or 500. We will print
only as many as are ordered.
Join with us in this effort to show your folks and other
friends in other parts what kind of a community you live in
and what you are doing. Don't wait until after the edition is
out and then wish you had some copies to send your friends.
Do it now! Write us a postal telling how many copies you
want and they will be printed and saved for you. We will be
glad to give you an item in the paper about yourself and what
you are doing, but must have the facts to enable us to write
it. It is impossible for us to see everybody personally. There
fore drop us a line, or call in person if you can.

turned over to Judge Qvale for a de
cision, was decided by the latter Mon
day, when his decision and the volum
inous record of the case was received
by express from Willmar by Cleric of
Court Atkinson.
The findings of the Judge cover 19
pages of typewritten- manuscript, and
are signed also by Judge Daly of Ren
ville.
The decision will no doubt be ap
pealed from the supreme court by the
Petersons. It gives Lundquist the
sum of $14,270, the amount he put in
to the partnership at the time it was
formed, and interest at the legal rate
from January first, 1890 to this date,
less certain amounts received by him
from the Petersons, aggregating near
ly $6,000. The interest for the 25
years that have intervened figures up
about $18,000.—Litchfield Independent
ROSEVILLE PIONEER GOES WEST
R. C. Benton Leaves For California
Where He Expects to Make
His Home.
R. C. Benton, the well known, old
time pioneer of Roseville, accompan
ied by his daughter, Miss Susan- Ben
ton, departed last Monday for San
Jose, California, to make his future
home, at which place his son, George
and daughter, Mrs. Rhoda Sitton re
side.
Mr. Benton, came to this state in
1863 and to Kandiyohi county in 1865
Continuously for about one-half cen
tury Mr. Benton has lived on the Rose
ville prairie, not having, we are told,
even made a trip to Minneapolis in 37
years. Last year he sold his farm to
his son, Solon L. Benton, the real es
tate man of this city, and will now try
the West. His many friends will wish
him good luck.
THE MINNEAPOLIS CAMPAIGN.
There is a real campaign on for and
against saloons in Hennepin county
Never was there a campaign so openh
in favor of booze put on before in the
Northwest. It shows that the liquor in
terests are thoroly scared and are
pouring out money like water to de
feat no-lioense. Full page advertise
ments in the daily papers bring out
the bogies of threatened financial loss
to the citizens and bankruptcy to the
city. Political hacks like T. J. Cat
on, Israel Bergstrom, J. A. Wharton,
et al,. go up and down the town talk
ing about danger of blind pigs and
ruin to the city which sound so silly
in the ears of people in towns that
have established the dry policy. Can
the people of Minneapolis be fooled to
believe that their prosperity is de
pendent on the presence of licensed
saloons? Next Monday's voting will
tell the story. If the citizens of Min
neapolis will have the courage to vote
for a clean town, it will prove the
greatest advance step they have taken
yet, and legitimate business interests
of the city will profit by the action
A saloon-less Northwest wants a sa
loon-less metropolis. There can be no
doubt on that score, and Minneapolis
should welcome the opportunity of be
ing the first dry large city to adopt the
policy. The result of Monday's elec
tion will be awaited with great inter
est.
