Unprecedented floods are devastat

Could not write last Meek, for we
lost our good quill. Uroken pumps
and frozen potatoes is the universal
complaint of our neighborhood. Our
settlement has been treating itself
te fires since writing you before,
having had three small ones—Ben
Welch, N. J. Palmer, and Mrs. Ken
yon, all the result of trying to warm
up the house. No damage done. We
see by the paper that there is a comet
going to strike our planet this sum
mer that will warm things up at a
great rate. Now, if the tail of that
comet would just brush this latitude
just now and warm it up st-veral (leg
rees, we should feel thankful. The
Seventh Day Adventists are still
holding meetings and Sabbath school
in our selioolhouse every Saturday at
eleven o'clock. We understand
that Rev. Greenup is to preach for us
next Sunday evening. John Johnson
and wife are over the Leaf, we -hear.
Mr. Johnson is getting out lumber
with his brother that lives over there.
There is one plucky woman (thank
Heaven) in Northern Minnesota.
Mrs. Wonser came over here one of
those "colder" days and drove for
herseif. We heard there was a wed
ding at Mr. Gochie's a week or so
ago, but have been unable to learn
any particulars. Mr. Schermerhorn
reports 34 below zero in Iowa. We
don't want to go there. We had ra
ther stay where the weather is warm
like it is here. Edward Fackrell has
returned from Gull River. Since lie
came home he wears an ornament on
his chin. Now, you need not ask if
if it is whiskers, for it is only a big

Railroad. Law.—Railroad. Track in
a Street.
The owner of lots on a street in
Denver, upon which lie had erected a
iiotel and dwelling house, sued the
Union Pacific Railroad Company to
recover damages for the injury to his
property by the laying of its track in
the street. This track was putt!own
18 1-^ feet from the pavement, and
above the level of the street, so that
wagons could not freely pass to and
I'rom the houses. The company set
up as its defense that the truck had
been laid by virtue of an ordinance
which granted it the right of way
through the street. The plaintiff re
covered a judgement for SI,8-50 in
this case—Malandin vs. Union Facific
Railroad Company—in the United
States Circuit Court for Colorado.
Judge Hallct. in the opinier, said:
"The right and interest of the plain
tiff in the street in front of his prop
erly is secured to him by section 75
of the Uill of Rights of the State con
stitution, which declares 'that private
property shall ot be taken or dam
aged for public or privat use without
just compensation.' It has been paid
that property cannot be 'taken' with
the mc-aning of that provision ex
cept by an appropriation of the land
itself, but no such limitation is appli
cant to the clause relating to dam
ages. The beneficial use of plaintiffs
estate embraces the right of ingress
and egress, which cannot be with
drawn or obstructed without subset m
lial damage to it. The use of the
street is therefore aright of property
in plaintiff, which if not 'taken,' is
certainly 'damaged,' within the mean
ing of the constitution, by the act of
defendant in building its road through
M10.street."—Baltimore Day

To the Editor of the Northern Pacific Farmci:
Please allow me a little space in
your columns to make a few sugges
tions. Now that our town is nearly
all settled up, and that almost every
person will have to make pastures or
herd their slock, why cannot we have
a herd law in the town of Wadena?
It costs the farmer immense sums
eve year to repair fences around
his crops, and now that there are
many fences just rotting down that
will have to be repaired at a great
expense, to fence in the crops, while
it would not cost one-tenth as much
to fence in the stock, there being but
little stock in the township. Let us
take a vote on the question at the
coming election and vote a herd law
for this township. Yours, etc.,
