Rope From Wire-Crass.

Several farmers in this section have
made contracts with the Irvine and
rope plant located on Como avenue,
Minneapolis, for large quantities OF
wire grass, which has heretofore been
OF little value to the farmers. This
new company wants at least 80, 900
tons, and will use it to make Irvine and
rope, and it is pronounced equal to the
best hemp. The price paid is So per
ton in the stack, which, at present
prices, is more profitable than the best
quality Of hay. The wire grass must
be cut by harvester, but not bound
until it is thoroughly dried Then it
is: is bound y d and stacked as is grain.
Later ii is pressed in bales and
weighed, and shipped to Minneapolis.
The baling and shipping are done BY

The Conditions Are a Disgrace.

The following petition addressed to
the governor and people of Iowa was
received from Iowa volunteers last ev-
ening, says the Minneapolis Tribune of
the 18th: X ,.. '.-
"F'ifty-second Iowa infantry volun-
teers are camped on Chicamauga creek
in so-called park, and though we
have seen no actual service, we have
ever been ready to move to the front.
The war is over, but death and sick
ness are attacking us, at an alarming
rate. Three hundred of our boys are
now, on sick rolls and in hospitals.
There are over 600 sick men in the d.
vision hospital this morning which has
capacity for 100 only. Filthy drink
ing water and poor sanitation are caus-
es Of the rapid spread of fever. Drink
ing water comes from Chicamauga
creek, rightly named River Of Death.
Not a'foot of sewerage, except thatpro-
vided by nature, exists. We ask of
you that you request the war depart

We are willing to die if need be in ac-

It is estimated that the grass can be
cut, bound and put in the stack for
Sl.5O per ton. David McGregor, Of
Benton county, is acting as. agent for
the Minneapolis company, and will
press and ship the grass. A great
many dollars will be paid out, to farm

In reply to the ridiculous claim that

At Rainy Lake.

Jeremiah Donnelly, who is in the
Rainy lake country, has written let
ter from Warroad to Mr.. Len. Pratt
in which he says that the country
there has a great future ahead. There
are large quantities of timber. Con-
tinuing, he says: 81 would advise you
to come up; you can locate men on
good timber lands here anytime.
Warroad is at the extreme west end of
the lake and, is on the only harbor on
the American side. There are ninety
steamboats, on the lake, all Canadian
boats. The Americans do not know
what they have in this great water
way. The lake is one hundred miles
long and from forty to sixty miles
wide. This is the coming country and

PostofHce Robbery. &

The post Office at Spencer Brook was
broken into and robbed last Monday
night. The robbers secured small
amount in postage stamps and between
fifteen and twenty dollars in money
from the safe. The report is that the
safe was shut but not locked and that
the thieves took what money there was
and also a bundle of notes. They
probably looked the notes over and
concluded that they could not use
them, as they were found in the morn
ing lying on the porch. The tools
used were taken from the blacksmith
shop near the postofhce.

x c :
he must concede that the American
gunners are a little better. In account
ing for this he says it must be remem-
bered that American have given much
greater attention to the question of
accuracy OF fire than any other nation,
and that they have various improve
ments in the mounting Of their gun S
which enables them to fire with greater
accuracy than is possible in other
countries. when + was in Washing
ton several years ago. adds Mr..
Maxim, the naval authorities told me
that in case Of war the superior accu-
racy of5the American fire would be so
great as to be most important factor
IN the struggle Mr.. Maxim suggests
that this superior accuracy is due in
some measure to the fact that the very
large guns in the American navy are
trained by electricity, which enables a
species Of telescopic sight to be en-
ployed which is impracticable with
guns trained by hand. 81 35s.y
s The claim made BY a British ex-
member Of parliament that Dewey had
English gunners has been officially de-
MED in England and the people who
repeated the charge have been laughed
into silence. The same accuracy of
frewas shown at Santiago as at Man
lila, and there is no charge that Samp-
sons fleet had any English gunners.
Great Britain has heretofore boasted
OF the best naval gunnery in the world,
but her experts freely acknowledge
that they have no gun crews that can
compete with those under Dewey,
schley. and Sampson. There may be
something in Mr.. Maxim's theory of
our superior mechanical appliances,
but after all the superiority lies in the
quality Of the men and their practice
and training. Superior gunnery has
always been a characteristic of the
American navy, from its very first be-
ginning. It was displayed in the sea
fights of the Revolutionary war, of the
war of 1872, and in every contest since.
The marvellous achievements of
American gunners in this war with
Spain have given the European nations
great concern. They perceive that
there is a new element to deal with in
naval warfare-that it is possible to
make the fire of rifed cannon so true
and rapid and deadly as to enable an
unarmored ship to stand a, chancezof.
success against an armored one. If
the American fire drives the. .enemy's
gunners from their guns aor e8demor-
allies them that theirfir is ineffective.
the enemy's armor will not protect
him, nor will the lack of armor On the.
American ship insure its destruction.
By keeping the air between them and
the enemy filled with destructive mis-
siles the American gunners seem to be
able to insure their own safety and the
enemy's humiliation at the same time.
Such accuracy of fire has the effect. in
reality, of thickening the armor on the
American ships to the width ,of the
effective range of their guns.

A Question for the Capitol Commission.
Scientific knowledge does not seem
to be as prevalent among contractors
and builders as many would suppose to
be necessary in order to secure the best
results, as Messrs. Woodcock & Cakes
have learned by experience. These
gentlemen own brick yard about four
miles north of Princeton and make
what are called "wire cut brick" In
trying to make a sale of some brick for
use in the State capitol now in course
of construction Mr.. Woodcock was told
that it was necessary to use s'sand
mold brick,' as they were stronger
than the wire cut brick, and that it
was necessary to use the strongest.
Mr.. Woodcock has had several tests
made and they all show that the Prin-
ton brick are very much stronger than
the Chaska sand mold brick, which are
being. used These tests show. that.the
wire cut sewer brick will stand a
pressure Of 6,74l lbs to the inch; the
sand mold sewer brick 4, 5l4 lbs to the.
inch; the lowest grade wireE cntxbrick.
'2,254 lbs; the lowest grade sand mold
brick 1, IA lbs The average Of the
wire cut brick is ,497 lbs while that of
the sand mold brick is only 3, ia lbs, a
difference of 1888 lbs to the inch, :.or
54,256 lbs On the whole surface, in
favor OF the wire cut brick. Mr..
Woodcock says he proposes to find out
why the poorer brick is being used to

Women Voters.

A great many old-time politicians il
the state are beginning to borrow trou
BILE about women voting at the mex
election. They do not know where t,
place them nor what calculations Il
make of the number voting. Thest
old-timers have lost their occupation
as tally-keepers and as authority fol
the number of votes to be cast at any
election The advent of women in the
politics of the state presents a problem
which they cannot solve.
The News may be taken as authority
for this statement; The women will
cast larger vote than the opponents
of equal suffrage count upon when
mentally polling the votes in the coun-
ties Of the state. Many of the women
to-day, express themselves as opposed
to free suffrage, and shudder at the
thouht of "roughing it" election day
around the polls, but when their pa
triotism is to be called into question,
when their votes are demanded for
men who can be trusted in Office, whose
competency, honesty and fitness can
not be questioned as against the tricky
and slippery office-seeker, they will not
shrink from their duty. The unpleas
ant feature of going to the polls will
not keep them from a patriotic duty,
from expressing by ballot their prefer
erence for good government honestly
administered.
The women may always be trusted to
favor that which is true, beautiful and
good, and no old methods of drum
corps, torchlight and noisy campaign
ing can turn them into the ways of dis
honorable politics. 1t is true that a
large per cent. of the women of the
state were opposed to equal suffrage,
but since the rights of the ballot box
were thrust upon them and they we're
made voters, nolens volens, they will
their duty like brave Spar
tan women, whenever there is ques-
tion between good men and bad or un-
ct men for office. No, the old-tim
politician who could control primaries
and pack county conventions may now
bid farewell, and long farewell, to
much of his political greatness. The |
women will be brave-they will VOTE

To John O'Neill, who, with Mrs.
O'Neill, is spending a few weeks in
Salem, Oregon, we are indebted for a
copy of the Dawson City News, pub
lished at Dawson City, N. W. T., by
some daring and enterprising printer,
who has carried the art preservative
into that perpetually frozen region.
In speaking of the outfit necessary for
that country he emphasizes the neces-
sity for each person to provide him or
herself with eye protectors and fine
wire screen to surround the head to
keep off mosquitoes. He then goes on
to say that "Alaska mosquitoes some-
times kill bear by destroying the eye
sight. They suck so mnch blood from
other animals at times as to weaken
and kill them" We don't want to run
a newspaper in that region.

Harry Bratnober visited the camp re-
Gently and made very careful and ex
tended inquiry regarding all of the best
propert. es ON Bonanza, Ell Dorado and
other creeks. He is the representative
of the Rothschilds in matters of this
kind and while he is conservative, as
becomes his important position, enough
has been learned regarding his views
on the merits of this camp to announce
that the house of Rothschilds is inter-
ested in the Yukon mines and have au-
thorized extensive investments run
ming, in present and prospective values
into millions of dollars.
AS rule, investments in mines of
this kind is made through the London
Exploring Company back of which the
Rothschilds work in this particular
line of investments. Through it they
may secure the great copper mines of
Montana. They and their friends have
millions to invest and they invest free
ly whenever a good proposition is found
and is favorably reported upon by
trusted agent,such as Mr.. Bratnober.
However, in making investments in
Klondike bonanzas the Rothschilds
have seen flt to make use of local mag
mates of the caliber of J. j. .Healey, Alec
Mcdonald and the like. Practical men
of this class are being put forward by
the Rothschilds with secret instruc-
tions to buy anything good in sight AS
result not single good piece of prop
erty that was offered here during the
past three months has escaped the
ready gold of the financial giants.
The advisability of building railroad
from the Alaska coast to inside points
has, also, received the favorable con-
sideration of Rothschilds' representa-
tive. This, in itself, goes to show that
it is expected that a large number of
men will work on the Yukon mines for
an extended period and adds to the val
ue of everything in and about this
