TIOX DISTRICT.
As spring approaches our farmers are
making preparations to farm more exten
sively than ever before
Jos. Roberts is busy cutting fence posts
f( 1 em losing a foity acre tract as soon as
fios ha\es the ground.
Jiie chickens ducks and wolves are
making the woods noisy in the vicinity of
"Sayersville."
Air. Win. Savers, sage of "Sayersville,"
is batching for a few days, which is quite
a task in addition to hauling fence posts
and rails and telephone poles. William
thinks it's the proper thinu to keep, dairy
cows on the farm. He says, "cream is aw
ful good. Just take a look at Joe Roberts
when he comes to town He is just as fat
as he could be on the cream." And the
chickens have started to lay. With plenty
of cream and fresh eggs to eat, batching is
not such an awful task after all. Air. Sav
er* has a hundred and ninety-nine tamarack
telephone poles all cut and ready to be
strung out along the proposed extension of
the phone line from his farm to the John
Klowser place.
Henry Savers recently lost a heifer calf
by drovvifing in the river. The little calf
fell throuiih a bole in the ice into the water.
On his'way to the Farm Station on the
rr hist., Mr. Win. Savers reports that he
came upon a pack of wolves feasting on the
rarciiss of a deer they had killed. He shot
at them four times but they were too swift
in making their get away.
STA-
NEWSPAPER ITEM.
In recent debate on national prohibition
in the House of Representatives, Congress
man Charles A. Lindberg, representative
in Congress from the sixth district of Alin
nesota, made the following -reference to the
Indian treaty enforcement in Northern Alin
nesota:
"Merchants and other business men in
some of the towns in my district, when two
or three years ago an effort was made to
close the saloons to carry into effect the
terms of the Chippewa Indian treaty of
1855, requested me to oppose its enforce
ment. After the saloons had been closed a
few weeks, as some of them were, most of
those who had asked me to oppose the clos
ing informed me that it was a mistake for
them to have made the request, because
they had since discovered that the'money
that had been paid in the saloons was, after
their closing, being used in the purchase of
goods and services that other business men
could furnish. Leading merchants in these
towns have said that during the time when
the saloons were closed they sold more
children's shoes and clothing and more
Christmas presents than they had ever done
before, and that most of the people who had
been delinquent came in and paid their
debts.
