MAcH1As, Me-, Nov. 6-Major Chas.
F. Stone, jeweler, and prominent in bust
ness and church circles, went on a short
hunting trip Thursday, as was his occa-
sional habit, intending to return at night
fall At Mortified, twelve miles distant, he
hired a guide. The latter returned home
after dark, stating that he and Stone sepa-
rated, agreeing to meet in two hours at a
given point, but on arriving at the place of
meeting Stone failed to appear The guide
waited till dark and then returned home. A
search party failed to find Stone, and gen.
eral alarm was spread, mills were shut down,
work was suspended, and a general search
instituted Finally Stones body was found
lying near steep ledge near Little Bog lake
in Mortified, orly a few rods from where he
and the guide separated. Foul play is sus-
pected, and the guide is under suspicion.

mission that in spite of every effort it
has been impossible to find satisfac-
tory recruits to fill even our nominal

feature of the report is the statement
that the losses 10y discharge, death

Irish League.

At a meeting of the Irish National
League in st. Paul last week, upon
the question "that Ireland can attain
her independence only by physical
force' Mr.. Shadrick eloquently spoke
on the negative as follows: "When
Irishmen speak of independence
what do they mean? Do they mean
absolute independence--the total
severance of Ireland from the British
kingdom Or do they only mean parlia
mentary independence without dis
turbing the integrity of the empire?
The first requisite to effect the indie
pendence of any nation is union.
Circumstanced as Ireland is to-
day he was of the opinion that
through reason and argument in the
legislative halls of England, the free
dom of Ireland would be achieved.
Compare the resources of the two
countries-England strong in her
army and navy, her Golfers filled with
gold, at peace with every powerful
nation, and it would be futile for poor
i'm poverished Ireland, without money
without arms, without organization
to cope with her mighty enemy. He
deprecated the use of dynamite in
modern warfare. 1t would be sheer
folly for pigmy to meet a giant in
physical contest, and the day when
Ireland resorted to the use of such de-
structive agents as dynamite, the y
would find it used upon them is re-
turn by the indignant people of Eng
land, The English people are no less
oppressed then Irish. Let the Irish
people appeal to the reason, the judg-
ment, the mind and heart of the gen
erous Britons, let them cooperate
with the English citizens and ag-
riculturists in o common cause and
demand redress Of their grievances
and they will ultimately succeed"
Mr.. Shaderick previously stated
that his private feelings were all tn Z
other way, but under the circumstances
he felt bound to sustain the negative
The course alluded to I'm his nice little.
speech, will bring the cause friends,
while the other course would repel
them. Ireland is most to weak to at
tempt anything having the color of
force.

MINNEAPOLIS AND WINNIPEG DITCH

We would very much like to get
the picture of the ''prominent citizen
of Minneapolis" whom the Journal
saws has 'unfolded a mammoth
scheme of canal from Winnipeg to
Minneapolis, by way of Lakes Traverse
and Big Stone, to hang up in our
wood-shed to keep the rats from dig
ging away the foundation. A large
sized COW bell should be hung around
that "prominent citizens" neck, so
that if he strays away he may be found
again. If he should fall into that
canal at Minneapolis, he would be SC
bothered over cheap transportation OF
wheat to the Minneapolis mills, that
he would never think of climbing VI
to the shore again, but he would &C
the whole length of it to find getting
out place, and if he should die before
he reached Winnipeg, what a catas-
trophy it would be. But what would
a scientific life now and then amount
to, when, as the Journal says: 'as
we'll as feeding the mammoth mills OF
Minneapolis, this colossal consolida-
ton of the artificial with the natural
into practicable and living artery
would make this city's prominence
supreme in commercial sense.'
When this canal can be dug and filed
with water or beer, the Journal does
not say which, at the small sum of
$1O,OOO,OO0, why should it not be done.
When we first saw the scheme in that
paper, we felt like opening the front
door of our treasury and handing over
the coveted amount to construct it at
once, but as we read farther on, we
saw we would not be permitted to do
anything of the kind, but that "bonds
could be given by the cities of Mime
apolis and st. Paul, conformity with
the state, or after Minnesota, Dakota
and Manitoba "a large share of whose
farmers would vote to Tighten the iron
grip of the Canadian Pacific upon
them) had pledged several millions of
dollars, congress could make an ap-
preparation sufficient to finish the
work. we could see it was all up with
our liberality. We believe the woods
are full of farmers who would assist in
contributing this tri1ing sum of $1O,-
100000, in feeding the mammoth
mills" keeping them running, and
making that ''city's prominence SUI
preme.n We know ST. Paul would
come in with at least train load of
bonds, even if the canal is not permit
ted to go farther down than the saw
dust city. The head that gave vent to
this canal project, little thought how
much more there is in all this, than he
has let come to light. For instance,
all the boats could be fixed with sails,
put on sketes in the winter, and the
trade go along on ice, the same as in
summer, while submarine boats could
be put under the ice, with wind pumps
at each end, especially the Minneap-
oils terminus, and affording double
geared concern of transportation. 1t
is thing too good to lose.

The statistics of the Universal Post
al Union, show that the United States
ranks as first in the number Of post
offices. In the number Of letters car
ried by mail, Great Britain ranks
first. If all the business letters of rail-
roads and express companies were car
ried by mail in this country, we would
certainly rank even with Great Brit
ain; but as we are ahead of her in the
number of newspapers conveyed, it
does not make so much difference. In
the newspaper conveying, Germany
comes in next to this country.

If the Minneapolis millers will look
over the columns of the Times this
evening they will learn that during
the month of October the Northern
Pacific railroad delivered 1921, 7541Ia
bushels of wheat to the Duluth eleva-
tors. In this connection we will re-
mark that this is an enormous in
crease over the receipts of the same
month last year, which would make
it appear that the recent fuss kicked
up by the Minneapolis papers and
people had caused boom for the
Duluth market.

Oil at Mimic.

Fargo Republican,: While every
body i'll Ransom county and not a
few in Cass, are excited by the dis
covery of gold and silver near Lisbon,
another rich ''find' is reported at
Mimic, Walsh county; but it is oil,
not gold, there. The Grand Forks
Herald tates that Mr.. E. z. Chase,
Of Mimic, struck petroleum, which
flowed freely, while boring for water.
The oil was tested and gave a clear
brilliant light. The result is that the
Mintonians have the oil fever in an
aggravated form. Gold in Ransom,
soap in griggs, Oil in Walsh, coal in
Mclean. What next?

Mr.. E. G. Sprague, the we'll known
bonanza farmer, who operates 5000
acre wheat farm south of Moorhead
states: That he is just threshing
the wheat on his farm and the average
so far has been about 20 bushels per
acre. He expects 100000 bushels
from his farm, He thinks the price
of wheat was much too low along the
Northern Pacific, and states his inten-
ton of building a large mill next
season and shipping all his wheat
west in the form of flour.

Mr.. J. J. Hill, president of the ST..

purchased in Scotland six Clydesdale
mares, which he will put upon his
farm just outside of st. Paul. These
splendid animals cost 81 500, each, and
are beauties.
He has recently purchased also ten
head of Polled Angus and short horn
cattle. Two of the COWS took the first
premium at the highland society
Scotland, and at the Royal society,
England. Mr.. Hill is going very
largely into this kind of stock, and is
introducing some very fine specimens

The condition of our coast defenses
has been matter of sport for the last
ten or fifteen years, and Gen. Wright,
chief of engineers, will again urge
congress at it's next session to provide
for the safety of our harbors and ma
rine cities. Our sea coast defenses
amount to nothing, and the General is
unable to get congress to pay any at
tention to the subject. They would
under the late improved mode of war
fare, be compelled to surrender by
most any attack that might be made
upon them with a hostile iron-clad
run in by an enemy. The proper and
necessary improvements could not be
made in less than two years, under the
most favorable circumstances ofweath-
er, while war may not be more than
half that far off.

questionable if we can't elect him

Live Hogs,

LIE Sueur Sentincl: The live hog
market has continued active during
the week, and promises large receipts
during the coming week. The num-
Der of hogs shipped from Monday of
last week to Monday evening of this
week is 35S, weighing an aggregate of
1921 pounds. More have been
bought, but are awaiting for car load
lots. The previous shipments were
$40 hogs, weighing III, PA pounds.
Hence the total shipments up to Mon
day evening were 9G9 hogs, weighing
a total of 1865 pounds. It will be
seen that the average weight of hogs
has materially increased the past
week-the average of the weeks ship
ments having been 23S1a pounds,
against previous average of only 21s
pounds per hog.
