Heavy snow and hard frosts during the past week have hurried the work of potato digging in this locality—and to day there are probably very few pot atos still in the ground. T. F. Thomas of Tofte, whose name has been freely used as a possible can didate for clerk of district court, asks the Herald to announce that he is not a candidate for office. Chris Murphy received a letter from the company this morning stating that the threshing machine ordered 'by the farmers of this vicinity was shipped Oct. 3rd.

"He is .fitting the place up for accommodation of ibig game hunters and aims in every way to cater to the wants of this numerous class of visitors here during the fall. His plans, wheu com-, pleted, should make the "Paine Ranch" a highly popular rendezvoas for the sportsmen. It is located in the heart of an excellent hunting district, and patrons will be relieved of much of the work and worry incidental to hunting big yame in the ordinary way, that is providing quarters, transportation, etc Elbow Sleeves.

A A special village election was held at the court house last Tuesday to vote on propositions to issue bonds as follows*: First.—Fpr $1,500 for the erection of a public building to be used' for village purposes, and Second.—For $1,000 to establish -ai* fund for the construction of streets and sidewalks. There wfts not a large vote, owing, must likely, to the unanimity of public sentiment as to the merits of both pro positions, there having ^been uo out spoken opposition thereto. There was no semblance of a contest to arouse special interest among the voters. 18 votes were polled. Upon the first proposition the vote was 16 for and 2 against. On the second, 15 for and 2 against. The village hall bonds are practically sold, though^ owing to time required to advertise the sale thereof it will be about a/month before the money to be derived from such sale is in the village treasury. The work Of building will probably not be commenced before that time. The council is hopeful of seeing the building completed and ready for occupancy before the end of the year and is doing all in its power to Lurry the enterprise. NORTHEASTERN MINNESOTA. Destined to Become a Rrich Agricul tural Country: Professor Shaw, who is recognized as an authority on agriculture in this state gives it as his opinion that Northeastern Minnesota will some day be a richer ag ricultural country than Northwestern Minnesota. Upon the subject he says: ''If a man has 160 acres of land in northeastern Minnesota and as much of it cleared as he needs for growing crops, I should say it would be worth 50 per cent more to him in straight money than a farni of equal size in northwestern Minnesota. "Where you have a mixed forest con sisting of balsam, elm, maple, birch, oak and in some instances poplar, such as you have in this part of the state, there you can rely upon growing crops. "The only country in Minnesota that is not a good farming country is where the soil produces nothing but jack pine and Norway. The Norway soil is better than the other, but where there is no thing but jack pine, I think it takes a very skillful farmer to raise crops. "In 1894. the first winter I was in the state, I gave a talk at Duluth and I told them they would grow crops here. They laughed at me, but now they have the Jean Du Luth stock farm where the most magnificent red clover grows. You must remember that a large poportion of your country is- a clover country. The yield of this crop is bound to be something tremendous. It is the greatest clover growing country in the United States, not alone but with northern Wisconsin and Michigan. They used to say that clover was a bien nial crop, that it would die out after two years, but I was speaking with a man who tells about a clover field being cut this year for the eighth time." In regard to the manner of clearing up the land, Prof. Shaw referred to his well known views which are that nature should be assisted instead 6f being too violently contended with. "Let them do it right," said be, "'and it is easy. The trouble is most of them think they have to grub 'ic. They do not need to do that. Cut the timber and barn over the brush. Theu sow grass seed and you will have pasture in two months. Meanwhile you will have to sell forest products to make a living. 'You will have to farm differently from what they do any where else in the state. Dairying-is the most profitable form of farming in any .country. THIS country is peculiarly adapted to dairy ing, for fruit raising and vegetables, The time should soon come when .much thatj[ is consumed in the mining towns is raised in their neighb jrhood." RAILWAY CROSSTftS. A Matter in Which a Common Anxiety is Felt for the Future. The United States Department of Ag ricultur has been taking an'account of the annual consumption by the railways of the country of lumber for crossties, and the results are somewhat appalling It is figured that in 1905 no fewer than 84,000,000 ties were consumed by the entire steam 'railway system, or the equivalent of three billion feet of lum ber. As this does not include the large and increasing .amount uped by the electric railways the seriousness of the problem will be apparent. 4 The railways are awake to the gravity of the situation* though for a reason different from that which is arouBing the anxiety,of the general public—or that portion which give/a second thought to such questions. Oue is worried over the supp]y the other Considers the 300,000 acres of woodland annually denuded .to meet the demand of the railways/ The Pennsylvania Railroad Company, with no especiH 1 care for the forestry aspects of the question, but with an eye tor its ".• this will come from meeting the" calls of the future from this Bystem alone will be seen from the estimate made by an bfficer of the company, that it would re quire the planting of 1.300,000 each year, a forest of 39,000,000 in, all, and a per manent occupation of: 152 square miles of land—allowiog 400 to the acre and thirty.yards for the growth of the tree to the size required. Peihaps the question will have to be settled ultimately .by recourse to sub stitutes for lumjber ties, but at present the concrete and metal substitutes are little beyoud the experimental stage. Other railways than, the Pennsylvania have begun tree planting, but on & scale that is inflriitesmal in comparison with the annual consumption of from 80,000 000 to 110,000,000 tieb. Atteution is therefore being concentrated for the present upon better methods for the/ seasoning of ties, greater accuracy in Spacing, and in general upon such im provement practice as will secure the gratest service aKd the minimum of wear and tear. SCHOOL NOTES. 7~ Several pupils were absent Monday on account of the rain. The attendance this week has been much poorer than last week. Helga Holte is on the sick list this week.- Messrs. Taylor, Marshall and Bray were Grand Marais visitors on Saturday of last week. Our teachers, are planning a trip to Maple Hill in the near future. Eddie Jackson, who has been visiting with relatives at Hovland, returned on the America last Saturday and has been in school this week. The arithmetic class have begun the study of denominate numbers. This has been a week of tests and ex aminations, the A arithmetic And physiology olasseq, as well as the ancient history and physics classes being among the ones to suffer. McClellan's Peninsular Campaign was the topic for Wednesday, and everyone of the history class declared that it was the hardest campaign that they bad ever seen. However a little study worked wonders and now any of them can ex plain it thoroly. Harvey Hicks was absent one after noon last week. The grammar class have been doing some letter writing this week. There is yet much room for improvement. Arithmetic analysis is the dragon which the aqd arithmetic classes have been fighting fOr the past week. Most of "the members of these classes were victorious in the battled Some more school supplies came Wed nesday. The rest will probably come soon. 1 The spelling classes were made happy this week by getting their spelling tab lets". Better results should now be had. Why,don't parents, Bchool officers and the public in general visit the school? Some one must have thought that our school was to be turned into a clothing store, judging from tht contents of one of the boxes brought from the store on Wednesday. Jack Frost came this week as if he meant to stay! The result was that people kept their children home to dig potatoes. Composition work in the fifth grade is now much better. Arithmetic and geography seem to be the hard sub jects for that class. A great amount of reading is being done by the fifth and sixth graders, but still more will be done in the future. David Olson entered the primary de partment this week. Those neither absent or tardy in the primary room during the first week in October were: Edwin Holte,' Irene Scott, Helen Murphy, Castle Hussy, Verne Murphy* Edward Plante, Gladys Carter, Alvin Anderson and Emma Zimmerman. The following Eastside Maplehill pupils were neither absent or tardy dur ing the week ending Oct. 5th: Hulda Anderson, C. C. Bray, Rene Ellquist Christina Everson. The following were tardy but once each: Arthur Anderson, Joseph Anderson, and Adolph Everson. fen roll men t—9 1 POLITICAL ANNOUNCEMENTS For School Superintendent.

HILMA M. ANDERSON. "V 'Xttder for es.' ?•''r /At a meeting fin Somerset, England. It was stated that. althtfugh illegal, tk« Cuban War Claims. An interesting phase, of the present situation is that American investors are unwitingly responsiple, to some: extent, for the outbreak of revolutionary senti ment at this time. So long as Cuba was prosperous and the Army «of Liberation still unpaid, the mere fact that a great number of Cjubans all. over the island were awaiting payment of their claims for war service was an excellent check upon any ebullition of a warlike spirit which would,weaken the paying power of the government. Led thereto by the pro8peetof a large profit, American in vestors, as well as Cubans,' have dis counted these claims, Ao that the veterans of the war no longer have a personal interest iu the payment of the war vouchers, and are in positiou to join another Army of Liberation, which, if successful, will provide them with a new crop of war claims. In the mean time, the American purchasers of these claims, at figures showing as much as 100 per cent, to 200 per cent profit, are awaiting the payment of the balance of their money which now lies in the Cuban Trea'sury, and is being used to suppress the revolution.
