Julv 22, 19L1.
Mr. E. H. Kerkhoff,
Sir:
I will drop you a few
lines to let you know that we
are all well and hope that you
are all the same. We haveall
taken claims here. We have
one-half section apiece that
point or come together and all
have good water on it. They
all have from 15 to 40 acres
apiece improved. Altogether
we have 1600 acres of land.
To improve land here it takes
four horses to break with a 14
inch plow and have to disk it
twice and harrow it twice as
soon as broken. So you see
that there is a lot of work to
it. I sent vou a sample of
wheat that was raised bv drv
farming this vear. Crops are
good here. Living is high. I
will have to stop for this time
as Joe, Al., and Geo-ge are
going to town to take the cars
tog) to play ball tomorrow.
I shall send you some papers. We get all the news
from atound Pierz in your
paper. We have not seen anv
sand since we left Minnesota.
There is no such land here.
There is a big em migrant
move here this summer.Homestead land is almost a thing
of the past here.    B.Rathbun.

CREAMERY TO BE     MEETING OF BOARD
BUILT BY FARMERS    OF EQUALIZATION
Will by Located onCarl Kapsners Land
Near Christ Virnigs's
House
At a well attended meeting
last Satureay evening iu Hart-
mann's hall, our farmers decided to build a Farmer's Cooperative Creamery. The location selected for the building is just northeast of Christ.
Virnig's house, where Carl
Kapsner donated an acre of
ground for the purpose. As
a site for a creamery this place
is ideal; it is about centrallv
located in our cream producing
area, and the slope towards
the east insures perfect drainage into the river bed.
At a meeting to be held some
time during next month, plans
for buildingand other matters
of importance will be discussed. In the meantime a
few of our energetic dairvmen
are soliciting subscriptions
for shares.

News From Pussyfoot
Fergus Falls Journal: "Pus-
foot" Johnson, of Indian lid
tame, is in Washington making- final reports and winding*
up field work for the present
liscal vear. He is much interested in the sensational arrests recently made in northern Minnesota and believes
that the local officers have unearthed a bad gang. Speaking i f his work, he said:
" We will have just as much
money next vear as we had
last vear to suppress the liquor traffic among the Indians.
There is a temporary suspension of activity' in Minnesota, pending final decisions
of the supreme court on Judge
Willard's order in the Bemidji saloon cases. If that territory is held to be subject to
federal supervision,it is quite
certain that there will be a
permanent lid so far as Indians are concerned. We had
a hard fight in Minnesota and
went against some desperate
situations.

Many in Pierz are now using

This simple mixture antisepti-

that one of the methods employed this vear is to transfer

that "'great riiinds travel _fl tin!

The prodigious development;
of these albuminoid ovoids is
undoubtedly due to some psychic influence of telepathic subtlety acting simultaneously upon
the susceptible minds of their1
maternal ancestors.
Beware   of Ointments for Catarrh

as mercury will surely destroy
