DEAR EXPOSITOR.—To look upward, as so ften advised, one would'imagine that it is ges since it rained. Looking around, not umite sky -ward, one sees some good effects f the rain, and now that the long period of et weather seems to have ended,the bright reen of crops, trees and Sgrass, the clear ir and the bright sunshine are more than ver appreciated. As additional pleasures, woods and prairies are exhibiting numbers f pretty flowers. It seems as if nature in flaking a special effort to dispel all gloomy 4 thoughts. The birds did not appear to be - is much depressed by the continnous rains, is did the "lords of creation," bit cheer- ully sang, as they went on With their uilding, Just as if the state of the weather as the last thing they thought o. Perhaps heal are not accustomed to ake the weather their principal topic of conVersa- ion ; perhaps too, they were nev r taught hat risks they run, by going round all ay with wet feet. Still, since t weather ecame brighter and warmer, eve the birds eem to -add an extra note of fulness to heir iiosigs. It is well known that, in places, the great mount of rain caused almost a calamity. In this immediate neighborhood, there was nly temporary inconvenience,' the land be - ng rolling and the soil a sandy Oaril. In act, a few of the farms have san without much loam. As might be expected, the crops here look very well. It is not only thoseliving here,whose plans ave been disarranged, if not ciampletely upset, by the unusually wet sea.son. A pore Lion of the Red Lake reservation (Indian) as been opened for settlement, and the customary rush has taken place. The res- rvation is in the northern portio of Min- esota. Consequently, there ha a been a great increase in the number Of prairie schooners, as the covered wagons are called, passing through this section ofI conntry. Already many people have return d. They ound the promised land flowing with less ilk and honey and far more water, than they had expected. Among other causea of complaint are the inferiority of the soil nd a much disputed possession. Doubtless, eying to travel so far over bad roads and through never ending rain, considerably dampened their spirits long before they reached their goal, and made them glad of reasonable pretext for returning home. Iii cormhon with other counties of Minne- sota, Clay county has been visited, the last twelve months, by a large number of home. seekers, who have been attracted by the low rice of land.- These same low prices seem o North Dakotans to be a sign that the and. is comparatively worthless. . Of some f it, this may be truthfully said, still when one can buy for $7 an acre land capable of yielding 26 bushels of wheat to the acre, he. is not throwing away money. This has been clone:here. ; The reason there has been so much land vacant until now, is that a large tract was clairried by two railroad companies. To one a federal grant hadbeen made; to the other a state grant; the extent was the usual "twenty -mile limit." The roe.ds happen to intersect each other in' this county, and on account of this intersection trouble arose, as it soon became evident that in one locadity the same land bad been granted to both roads. In 1892,' the courts decided in favor of the Northern Pacific Railway Company. It may be that the "hard times" of the last three or four years helped to cause the desire 'for a change of some sort among farmers, as well as others. Whatever the cause may be, a restless feeling has been ob- served and a movement has taken place. It is noticed that farmers from states -east of here come to lawa and Southern Minnesota, where land is cheaper than from where they came. As a consequence of the transfer, many from Iowa and Southern Minnesota, came north, where land is still cheaper. Ot these home seekers not a few were tenant farmers, whose landlords had eold their farms; some are young men, who have oeen working for others and now wish to have homes of their own; others again, had good farms of their own, but sold out in or- der to obtain farms for their sons As re- gards nationality, the majority are Scandi- navians, though there are a few Americans and some Germans. Among the latter are _a number of Mennonites, who are forming a small colony in the eastern part of the county. ' A greater interest in dairying is being awakened, and many new creameries are being erected. Most of these are conduct- ed on the co-operative plan, which in this county is somewhat of a novelty. In many of the school districts, teachers are being engaged for the coming year. An advertisement for a teacher seems to be al- most'a rarity. Those teachers who, deans a certain school, ascertain from its present teacher or the trustees, whether a change is contemplated, and if it is,make application. Changes are frequent:: In Country districts, teachers do not get more than about $35 a month; they teach probably for a period of six months. In villages, the term is about nine months. The assistants get about $40 a month, and the principal about 160. These figures are not as high as in some other neighborhoods, ,where the country is more thickly populated. SUBSCRIB n. 411 t County, Court and June Sessi ns. The June sessions were opened at G der- ich by His Honor Judge Masson, on ues- day of last week, but there were only tlhree' civil cases for trial. These were as foll ws : Smith vs. Smith, an aetion on a promis ory note. Mr. Proudfoot, for defendant, ap lied for a postponement ofe trial, but this was refused. Judgment far plaintiff for $240. P. Holt; for plaintiff. Va,nEgrnond vs. Trirnble, an action on a' promissory note. Judgment for plaintiff for $362.08, with full costs. R. S. Hays for plaintiff; defendant not represented by counsel. ' Logan vs. Martindale, an interpleader issue. Judgment reserved. Holt & Best for plaintiff ; Proudfoot for defendant. This concluded the biishaess of the court, except receiving the grand jury's present- ment, which congratulated His Honor Judge Masson on his Appoint m en t 'to this county, expressing the assurance that he would fill the position not only with credit' to himself, but also to the members of the bar and the general public. There are four prisoners in jail, 2 males under sentence for larceny, 1 for want of sureties to keep the peace, 1 insane, and 1 female for larceny. The jury had visited the House of Refuge and found everything satisfactory, the house well kept and the farin being improv- ed, mostly under eultivation, and the work done entirely by the inmates of the house who are able to work. At present there are 62 inmates -45 males and 17 females, 4 of the former and 5 of the latter insane; 8 deaths have occurred since November last. The jury recommended more accommodation and the erection of a wing for hospital pur- poses. Canada. The ontlook for' hay in t district is poor.
