FIRST DUNBAR COLONY.
Max Bass Tells How They Have Pros
peFed.

immigration Agent Max Bass, Of the Great
Northern, was at the Merchants last night
on his way back to Chicago after seeing his
last colony Of Dunkards safely through to
their homes in North Dakota While on this
last trip Mr.. Bass visited the first colony
of Dunkards that he ever established at
Cando, n. d. In speaking of it last night
he said: Seven years ago the land on
which Cando is built was as wild bit of
prairie as man ever saw. but the ground
was fertile and we selected it as a site for
a colony. Now on that same ground there
is established one of the most fourishing
colonies that you will find In the whole
United States. One would think when he
gets off the train that he had found a Penn
sylvania city transplanted to the wilds of
North Dakota, and he would not be far
from right, for the people are almost all
from that state, and in the building of their
new home they have fashioned after the old
one with but one change; they have incor-
porated the word prosperity in the new char
ter, and that is something that was never
thought Of in the old one The town is
well-to-do in every way. The farmers III
the surrounding country are growing rich
and these same farmers are the ones who
labored for years back in Pennsylvania on
little farms Of twenty acres. Now they own
all the way from 200 to 1000 acres and the
land did not cost them much more than
the twenty acres did back East
Mr.. Bass says that spring is coming very
soon In the Dakotas. The snow is now
nearly all gone, and week more will see the
last OF It, He predicts that the farmers Of
these two states will, during the coming
son, raise the biggest crops In their history.

WHEN BIDS HAVE BEEN RECEIVED
The Question VIII BE Definitely De-
cided-What One Commissioner
Says About 1t.

The joint court house and city hall
commission, along with the board of
county commissioners, is at present
giving attention to the consideration of
the present lighting and heating plant
of the court house, city hall and county
jail, which is at present provided for
by the Edison Heat and Light company,
Of ST. Paul. The position of the county
board is to the effect that quite few
hundred dollars can be saved by using
a plant in the court house and city
hall basement. Last night prominent
member of the board of county COM
missioners said the board has deter
mined that it will, within the next two
weeks, advertise for bids for heating
and lighting the city hall and court
house, and also the county jail build
ing. He said it was the intention of
the board to give this matter careful
attention, and said it made little differ
ence if there were a few hundred dol
lars difference, it was the intention of
the board to use the plant now idle,
and give number of people employ
ment. A majority of the commission is
in favor of using the city's plant.

Parody on the Foraker Pooling Bill
Presented.

WASHINGTON, April 5.-Senator Chandler
On. HI today introduced in the senate
bill in the nature of an amendment to Sen
ator Foraker's railroad pooling bill. 1t is
entitled "A bill abolishing competition in
trade and production, and authorizing COM
binations to enable merchants, manufacture
ers and producers of commodities, subject to
interstate commerce, to maintain prices and
make profits notwithstanding business de-
pressions" The body of the bill declares
that it shall be unlawful for different and
competing merchants, manufacturers and 9TH
or producers OF commodities, which are or
may be the subjects of interstate commerce, to
enter into any contract, agreement or
rangement for the division apportionment
among themselves or with others i'll like
business, Of the whole or any of their gross
or net earnings, or for the limitation or
restriction Of production in their business,
or for the fixing of the prices Of commo-
ditieS by the order or recommendation Of
representatives designated ON behalf of the
various parties to any contract or agreement
or arrangement, or by the order or recommen-
dation Of the majority of such representa-
tives or for the maintenance of prices of
commodities once fixed or for the enforce
ment Of any such contract by fines and pen
alties imposed upon any of the parties there
to, and each day of the continuance Of any
such. contract shall be deemed a separate Of
Tense; provided, however, that. under the
conditions named in the bill, it shall be law
full for such merchants, manufacturers and
producers. whether they are persons or cor
porationS, to enter into such contracts, agree
ments or arrangements, which shall be en-
7forceable between the parties thereto
The bill then gives the interstate commerce
commission supervision over the business
done by merchants, manufacturers and other
producers, under agreements made in pur-
suance of the authority given by this bill
and by the interstate commerce act.
The body Of the Foraker pooling bill is
adopted by Senator Chandler, but for words
used in the railroad business he substitutes
throughout the bill words used in manufact-
uring and trade. Mr.. Chandler said he would
not press this bill unless an effort was made
to pass the pooling BILL allowing railroads
to combine" In that case he would urge this
congress abolished railroad competition said
the senator it might as we'll abolish all
other competition.

CHARGED WITH LARCENY.
James Golfer Taken From Home and
Locked Up.

James Golfer, who lives in his own house at
638 Marshall avenue, is a member Of family
highly respected by large circle Of friends
and has himself during a residence of many
years In this city borne a good reputation
for honesty, last night taken from the
bedside of his sick wife and locked up in
the central police station on a charge of
larceny. The arrest was made by Detectives
HallOwell, Gruber and Murnane, who calm
that they have traced to Golfer several re-
cent small robberes which have been COM
mitted on st. Anthony hill The officers state
that he had been identified by c. Calmerson,
a secondhand dealer of Minnesota street. as
the man who sold a valuable harness re-
Gently stolen from J. NJ Russell, of Dayton
avenue. 1t is also alleged that Golfer answers
the description of the man who was seen by
some school children to enter George Thomp-
sons stable at 523 Laurel avenue one day
last week, when a harness was taken from
that place. When the detectives went to Col
ter's house last night to make the arrest they
found his wife sick abed, and he begged
not to be taken away as that would leave
no one to take care of the sick woman but
their 16-year-old daughter. He also pleaded
that there was no food in the house and the
wife and child would suffer if he were taken.
The city physician called to attend Mrs
Golfer and relatives were notified by the
police of her condition.

testified and been put through rat
Ting cross-examination, resolutions
adopted by the-Somerset branch of the

committee. The resolution protested
against the granting of a license to
Kraemer or any other person at the

Aldermen Sanborn and Allard were
in favor of the application being re-
fused on the ground that the bond and
application was defective, in that the
particular room in which the liquor was
to be sold was not described according
to the statute. This will necessitate
the making of a new application, and
the place will not be opened for at
least three weeks. Mr.. Doty announced
that the gentlemen he represented

somewhat of a balloon but the captain has
given an earnest of his good faith by sending
to the Minneapolis and Duluth millers a
startling proposition. He has proposed to the
mlllers that they contract with him for all
the flour he carry the year round, and
guarantee him certain tonnage per annum
for five years. Just what figures were asked
is not known. just what terms he offered are
not known, but the millers have made counter
propositions to him which is In effect that
the captain can have three years ccStract,
during what Is called the closed navigation
season, at little less than the lowest pre-
Vailing rate to Buffalo by rail- The present
rate to Buffalo by rail is 2O12 cents per hun
dred, and at this rate the net profit to the
captain per trip would be over SO OOO
This would be profitable shipping for
the captain. During the summer months the
captain would enter his boats in the general
competition for lake trade, keeping the boats
in use all the year. 1t is reported that three
lake shipbuilding firms are making figures on
the boats.

Moose Would Suffer if Season Were
Opened.

Fred Mcclellan, one of the cruisers of the
state auditors department who have spent the
winter looking over the state lands for tres
pasSers, came down from up the country yes
in the woods now with so much water every
where He has been up north all winter,
and says there is plenty of large game. In
one section which had been cut over he has
seen large herd Of moose and caribou. They
seem to stay about the same place; but ey-
cry once in while during the winter he
came across moose. In the winter when the
snow is deep they are unable to move around
much and Mr.. Mcclellan says that if ever
the game laws were changed to allow shoot
ing while the snow on the ground it
would simply mean a general slaughter of
these animals The only time he thinks when
they should be allowed to be killed is a few
weeks in the fall when they would have a
chance to get away from hunter.

Little Trout at the Hatchery Are
Thriving.

While the streams of the state are running
over their banks these days, there are several
hundred thousand trout fry down at the fish
hatchery enjoying life at the expense of the
state. These little trout were ready for dis
trlbution three weeks ago, but the state fish
commission knew it was useless to put them
out with the streams in their present condi-
ton. So they have been kept at the hatchery
and allowed to develop on a liver diet. Liver
is their feed. IT is ground up, and on this
they thrive. Many of them are now over two

live than If they had been put out earlier

applicant will be furnished with a supply

While Shakespeare no doubt wrote the trag-

writer, Saxo examinations, q Danish his
torian who died about 1904. His writings
were in Latin, and in Shakespeares time had
not been translated into any modern Ian
guage. The story is to be found in Belle
