Given by Herman Wilkes of Gull Lake
—Has Been There Two
Years
Herman Wilkes,who has been
in Gull Lake, Saskatchewan,
Can., for the past two years,
speaks well of that country. In
substance he says:
"The  crops are   good   but   a
little late this Year owing-to the
heavy  rainfall*  With  the  exception of one day we had   rain
every day from the 19th of June
until  the  17th day of July.    We
are considered as living' in the
dry belt and the heavy rainfall
this year is something- unusual
and unexpected.    The  best results  under   ordinary   weather
conditions    can    be    obtained by the  dry  farming- system which preserves the moisture.    Our soil is as fertile as
can  be   found anywhere  under
the sun.  The land in our neighborhood is all taken up and I
wouid not encourage anyone to
ie up under the belief that
ltjO-acre claims could be gotton
for   a   song.    It   is   true,   that
there, as in many other places,
now and then, a holder of a 160
acre tract   tires of the country
and is  willing to part  with  it
for a small price; but such cases are so few and  far  between
that it is an unprofitable task
to tour the country in search of
them.     Half-section farms are
things of  the  past.    All available and vacant land is now in
the hands of high  priced locat-
ers    and    speculators.      Farm
land sells for from $20 to $30 an'
acre; one Quarter near  the village was sold for $32 an acre.
'Mos. H. Sand, who moved into my neighborhood early in the
spring, is doing well     T T

Mike Meyer Returns from
Lake Bad Medicine.
Mike Meyer   returned   last
week  from Bad Medicine lake
where   he  was   foreman  of  a
so-called    hoisting   gang   for
the   Nichols    and    Chisholm
Lumber Co., of Pra/.ee.    The
duty of this crew was  to load
the logs  from   Bad   Medicine
lake onto flat cars.     The log's
were then transported by rail
to Elbow Lake, a  distance  of
sixteen   miles,   whence   they
were   towed    across     Elbow
lake down the Otter  Tail River to the saw-milles   at   Pra-
zee.    Mike's crew hoisted 250,
000 feet of logs a  dav,   or   17,
000,000 feet this season.    The
estimated  cost  of   transferring the logs   from   Bad Medi-
cene lake to Elbow lake, Mike
says, is about  $4 00/per  one
thousand feet.     No wonder it
costs money to build.
Photographs In Colors
After many years' trials,
science has finally discovered
how to take photographs in
natural colors. The only
trouble is, but one can be made
at once, because the original
cannot be duplicated. Not

Advicefor Pierz People
People in Pierz who have
constipation, sour stomach or
gas on the stomach, should use
simple buckthorn bark, glycerine, etc., as compounded in Ad-
ler-i-ka, the new German appendicitis remedy. A SINGLE
DOSE brings relief almost INSTANTLY because this simple
mixture antisepticizes the digestive organs and drains off
the impurities. E. L. Kaliher,

According to chant el" 153
special laws of Minnesota ot
1879, the town of Little Kails
was authorized to issue bonds
to the amount of $8,000, payable
twenty-tive years from date,the
rate of interest not r.v. ceding
8 per cent, and the proceeds' to
be used to construct a bridge a
cross the Mississippi river.
The same chapter provided
that it was the duty of the town
of Little Falls to annually levy
a tax sufficient to pay the in;
terest on the bonds and during
the last fifteen years of the term
of the bonds to ievy an additional tax sufficient to take care
of the principal of the bonds
at their maturity.
The same chapter also pro-
vides that should there b^ art
incorporation of a village or
city out of any portion of tin?
then existing territory comprising said town, each portion as
separated should provide for"
and pay the interest and principal according to the asse*se I
valuation of the property of
