LIQUOR Law Evadod.

A. J. Leedahl, who has been on the
black list in this city for several
months, imbibed q little too freely one
day last week and it was supposed
that he bought the liquor in Mr.. Ratz.
laff's saloon. A number of Mr.. Lee
dahl's friends took the matter up and
made complaint to Mayor Hanna, who
In his official capacity upon the part
of the village made the complaint be.
for Judge Abrahamson and the neces-
sary papers were at once gotten out
and the case set for the above men
TONED date. County Attorney John
son was notified and responded, but
upon arriving here and questioning
the Witnesses in the case found that he
had no case whatever, as they all
stated that someone else had pur-
chased the liquor for Mr.. Lsedahl and
that he procured none of it himself
from Mr.. Ratzlaff. Tho result was q
dismissal of the case before any more
expense was made to the county in ex-
animation Of Witnesses, etc.. Great
precaution should be taken by citizens
not in the saloon business in buying
liquor for man who is black listed
for there 10 a law covering their case

MANUFACTURING PLANTS
A Tribune Representative Gives His
Ideas and Cites Instances in Be- !:
half Of Such Enterprises.

half Of Such Enterprises. =
The rapid development of a city is
due largely to it's manufacturing en-
terprises. Manufactures help to build
up town not only in point of popu-
lation by the number OF people EN-.
ployed but also. by the amount of busi-
ness which must necessarily result.
Every new enterprise added to Will
mar means more employment for moro
people and consequently more busi-
ness distributed among our different
merchants. All channels of trade are
benefited. ia manufacturing plant
has large volume of trade outside OF
the city, the advertising which that
enterprise gives the city through it's
output is alone q considerable item.
Many facts can be cited to show the
benefits of manufacturing concerns.
Willmar has already few Industries
which contribute quite materially to
the advancement of the city, but there
is plenty of room for more.
AS an example of what Is being
done in our city by q manufacturing
plant, we cite the following as CLEANED
in q conversation with Mr.. G.. w.
johnson, manager of the Willmar
Jobbing and Manufacturing Company,
who with his brothers is also inter-
ested in the Glenwood Spring and
Water Company, which has houses in
both Glenwood and this city.
The two Willmar concerns give em-
ployment to 21 people, 16 being en-
ployed at the bakery and candy fac
tory and five in the Willmar branch
OF the Glenwood Spring and Water
Co. The monthly pay roll since these
Willmar enterprises were instituted
has averaged some over 81, 900 and
this will be increased with the necessity
of more help.
There are four statesmen employed
to cover large territory for the sale
OF goods. Messrs. johnson report
that their list of patrons has already
reached 25O, which is a very good
showing for the short time since they
entered the wholesale business. Their
candies and other goods are sold at
points as far west as Watertown, S.
D., and Wahpeton, n. D., while on
the north and east the statesmen at
present make q territory reaching to
St. Cloud and Delano: The high
quality OF the goods which are being
sent out from here is giving Willmar
no little advertising. ALI consign-
ments of goods generally have the la
bells that give Willmar prominence In
no small degree. The manufacturing
of ice cream will be in full blast as the
season advances and the output of this
branch of the business will be quite
large. The first consignment OF freez-
ers was received Friday.
Another important item is the in
crease in the postal business which
such concerns make for Willmar.
johnson Bros plants at this point
contribute considerable to the Will
mar mails and the business in the
correspondence department has so in
creased that q short time ago it was
necessary to employ competent
stenographer.
The rapidly increasing business de-
mands more room, and johnson Bros.
have under consideration an enlarge
ment of the building in which their Of:
fee is located.

STOCK COMPANY FORMED
The WiIimar Cold Storage Company
5so Will Incorporate with Capital
Stock of $4,000.

re- A meeting was held in the Bank of
!. Willmar Block last Friday evening
which~resulted in the organization of
the Willmar Cold Storage Company,
with the following wellknown gentle
men as directors AMI officers: J. F.
Branton, president; Fl. E. Finseth,
vice president and manager; E. Faux,
! secretary; and Erick Holt, treasurer.
The new organization will incorporate
with q capital stock of $4,000 Arti-
cles of incorporation are at present
being drawn and it is expected to in
corporate the company April 9Th and
have affairs at this plant in such shape
by that time that the business will be
in full running order.
Messrs Holt and Finseth have been
untiring in their efforts to locate
cold storage plant in Willmar that
would be credit to the city and sur
rounding country, and have finally
succeeded in erecting the same, which
completed costs S15, 600. The new Or
ganization under the management of
Mr.. Finseth is assured of success from
the beginning and the plant will be
one of the leading industries of this
part of the Northwest. Mr.. Branton,
who is the president of the company,
will remove here from Minneapolis
and again become Willmar resident,
q fact that his many friends will be
glad to note. Mr.. Faulk is a young
man at present holding position at
the New Store and his position as Sec
retary of the Willmar Cold Storage
Company is most responsible one.
Messrs. Holt and Finseth have al
ready done large business in the
creamery department.. Their patrons
number at present about 100 in the de-
livery of milk. An average of Is, 600
pounds day is brought here. The
rapidly increasing business is largely
due to the fact that the plant pays
higher price for butter fat than other
creamerfes, patrons coming here from
. considerable distance. For the last
month % cents was paid for butter fat
and for December as high as 81 cents.
The manufacturing of butter, cheese
and ice cream will be accomplished
with the most modern machinery, and
it Is expected that the balance Of the
machinery for the full equipment of
the plant will be here this week. An
expert ice cream maker from Boston
has been engaged, and in this depart
ment the company will be a strong
competitor for the ice cream trade in
this territory. /
The cooling rooms are not quite
completed, but will be in re adiness for
the seasons business. One of these
has been leased to q party who has
the reputation of being an expert in
the egg commission business.

TO BECOME LAUNDRY
Frank Smith and Al E. Fritz Buy the
wiiImar Steam Laundry =. ::
Plant. 49,. .,2.r i

"A deal was closed on Monday or
this week whereby the Willmar Steam
Laundry again changes hands. The
new owners are Frank 3. Smith, pub
Usher of the Raymond News, and AL
E.. Fritz, we'll known in this city as .
former employe at this point for the
Great Northern; but for some time
past holding the position of night
yardmaster for the company at Lari-
more, N D. We utd rsta1 ID the con-
sideration was about $500. -
The Willmar Steam Laundry has
been conducted for some time by
Miner J. Boyd, who disposes of the
plant to engage in other business. 1t
is announced that the new proprietors
will take personal charge of the plant
the first of April and until that time
the business will be attended to by
Mr.. Boyd. Mr.. Smith informed 9
Tribune representative Monday after
noon that the business will be. con.
Quoted under the firm name of Smith
& Fritz. The plant will be enlarged
to double it's present capacity and
many improvements are being con-
templated. 1t is the purpose of the
gentlemen to give the people of this
city q first. class laundry and in order
to do so they will install modern ma
chinery and thoroughly equip the
place with all that is necessary to &C.
complish their purpose. New ma
chinery is now on the way and it is
hoped that everything will be in
proper shape before long, SO that the
many patrons can be properly at
tended to. The present management
has found it necessary to send large
share of the work to the cities until
the new machinery could be placed
here, condition which was not very
satisfactory. {
Messrs. Smith and Fritz are both
popular young men and their many
Willmar friends will be pleased to
hear that they are about to launch in
the business field in the city which
they had made their home for several
years. While the Tribune regrets to
see Mr.. Smith leave the rank of jour
nalism, yet it feels that the able pub
Usher of the Raymond News will en-
ter q field where there is more of the
'falthy lncre TO be, had than the poor
newspaper man il accustomed 70, IS
with Others We will, gladly welcome
him back to the city. It, cannot be
stated at present who his successor at
Raymond will be.
Mr.. Boyd's plans for the future are
not yet made known, but he has under
consideration an offer as q travelling
representative for an insurance com
pany. In whatever line he decides to
cast his lot his Willmar friends will
wish for him unbounded success.
