BONDS VOTED 82 T012
The special election held last
Friday for the purpose of bond-
ing the village for $5000, to be
used for the construction of a
line to connect with the Little
Falls Water Power Co., was
easily carried. The vote, which
in the minds of many was expected to be close, was *2 for, and
12'against the bonds.
The bonds will be sold in due
time and bids for the construction ofthe line be advertised for.
We expect to use electricity
here by the first of October.
THE POTATO WAREHOUSE
It is reported that the potato
acreage in Northern Minnesota
has been doubled this season
over last.
If this is true, and it seems
highly probable i-n view of the
profitable prices at which potatoes sold last winter, the communities which have potato
warehouses are going to realize
to the full the value of this adjunct to profitable marketing,
and the communities which haven't them are going to realize
the same thing, but in a less
pleasant way.
A large acreage means a large
production, and very likely a
more or less glutted local
market at potato-digging time.
The communities which have
no storage facilities will have to
dump their products on the
market immediately, and the result will necessarily be low
prices.
The communities which have
potato warehouses will be able
to store their product and to
feed it out as the market calls
for it later on in the season.
The warehouseless community
will be in bad shape and the community with a warehouse will be
in good shape.—Duluth Herald.
RETURNS EROM CANADA
Mike Sand of Buckman and
Geo. Poser Jr. of Pierz returned
last week from a pleasure and
visiting trip to their children,
Mr. and Mrs. Joseph Sand in
Rich Prairie, Saskatchewan,
Canada-
Mr. Sand reports as follows:
"Jos. H. has a good piece of
land and is doing well. On his
farm is tlie only flowing well
within a radius of twenty miles.
Everybody is busy breaking.
The soil is a heavy block loam
with clay subsoil. There are
not many stones in the neighborhood of Gull Lake and Rich
Prairie. Grain looks better than
here and is about two weeks
further advanced. Flax was in
blossom the first days of last
week. I found the country a
hundred perceut better than it
had been pictured out to me.
A jrood farmer and good manager will make money in Canada*.
and a poor one will starve there
as well as here. It depends on
the man behind the plow.
There are no creameries in
the Gull Lake country.
I picked out 320 acres of land
adjoining Joseph's farm which
1 intend to buy this fall.
1 say any young man who is
ambitious and in good health
will make no mistake in going
to Canada.
Good and dry ear or
shelled corn bought at
the mill for 60 cents a
bushel.

WAS IT COLD FEET?
The Bowlus base ball team
must have suffered with cold
feet even on a hot day like last
Sunday, for they failed to put
in appearance at the hour appointed for the game.
It is possible that they had
heard what we did to Randall
the Sunday before.
Our boys were on the ground
ready to play, and their disappointment over the nonappearance of the al'ove mentioned
victims, was great.
Their regular Sunday Menu
calls for a base-ball team about
four o'clock in the afternoon, to
stimulate their appetite for supper, and if a complete nine and
a few substitutes are rot served
at this time for them to devour,
they are sure to suffer withgas-
trocncunic collapse.
THE POTATO WAREHOUSE
Be sure to read the article on
"Tlie Potato Warehouse'' in a-
nother column of the Journal
Since the Creamery is now on
an absolutely solid footing, why
can't we branch out and build
one here. The farmers of Buck-
man would probably be willing
to join us in this  enterprize.
