GUESS ON THE IICKERS|
SCORES OF GUEssEs ON WHEN
G THEY WILL STOP ARE AL
READY IN. BUT THERE'S A
CHANCE FOR ALL.
When will thew stop %

ssWhen will they stop? %
The Jou r n a has .prOpounded
a query in the matter Of the watches
it will give the two young people who
are good guessers, which promises to
put the matter Of AIMS age in the
shade.
If you have not yet read about 7 h e
j o ur n a watches, look on the back
page of this paper and see if you
can guess when the watches will stop.
To-day's answers deluged the watch
editor. Guesses began coming in as
soon as the paper was out last night.
and this morning the guesses came
like the festive snowflake in a storm.
Still that does not cut you out from
a good chance. There is such a wide
latitude in the matter that there is
lots Of room for speculation. For in
stance, the watches will be wound
on Friday. But what time on Friday
That is for you to guess.
Then how long will the two watches
shown in S. Jacobs & Co.'S window,
at 518-520 >Nicollet avenue, run be-
fore finally stopping? That is an
other nice matter of speculation.
Some of the guesses submitted show
all kinds of figuring. Some think
the watches will only run an hour,
and others three days.
The first question u: When are the
watches apt to be wound?
The second question is: How long
does the average watch run with one
winding? .'sr
AS matter of fact. few people car
time their watches run with one wind
| ing, and they. wind up every day
| This little test may cultivate your
| bump of observation.

: G.
Washington. t,@@5= .u~t.% z.
Washington, Jan. 20.-Raymond F.
Walter, engineer in the reclamation
service, engaged in irrigation work in
South Dakota, has made the following
recommendations for rating stations
on the streams of western South Da-
kota for 1904:
on the Belle Fourche at Belle Foutche,.
the data to be used in connection with
the Belle Fourche project.
A station on Rapid Creek at Rapid
City, as information concerning the
available flow there is needed for irri-'
cation and power propositions con-
templated on Box Elder creek at
Blackhawk, on Spring River at Blair
| ranch, and on Redwater at Belle
Fourche, this station also to be used
| in connection with the Belle Fourche
project, and Little Missouri at Camp
Crook in connection with the Belle
Fourche project:
of the station on Cheyenne river at
Edgemont, and the establishment of
a new station on Highway bridge near
| Buffalo Gap; the discontinuance Of the
station on Elk creek at Piedmont and
Butte creek at Hermosa. He recon-
mends also that examinations be made
along the Grand, MOrreau, Bad and
l
| the Missouri river.
All these streams can be reached
by stage or mail routes. Their condi-
tons are little known at the present
time, but there is said to be much
good land along their courses capable
of reclamation. Mr.. Walter recon-
mends that a study be made of the
bitches taken out Of Rapid creek and
! that cages be placed there.
| The cost of the work, If taken in
! connection with the reclamation work
l it, is thought will not exceed $4,000
Mr., Walters Recommendations have
been approved by Chief Engineer

GRINDELAND LAW coNFAB
Grain Men Discuss Measure with State
Railroad Commissioners.

Railroad commissioners 4
A joint committee representing the
Minneapolis Chamber Of Commerce and
the Duluth Board of Trade conferred yes
terday afternoon with the state railroad
and warehouse commission relative to the
enforcement Of the Grindeland law. The
committee sought some modification OF
the clause relating to reports to consignors
this being the provision under which the
case was recently brought against Ed
wards, Wood & Co. 1t developed, how
ever, that the commission was not dis
posed to make any concession along this
line and the committee finally requested
the commission to issue circular IN
structing grain merchants that the law
will be rigidly enforced, and that there
will be no modification of it's provisions
in enforcing 1t. The grain men believe
that such a circular will help firmly to
establish the law and will give fair notice
to all interests that it must be observed.

John Larson, of 1909 Lincoln street NE,
brought the body Of a big timber wolf to
the city clerks office this morning to
claim the. state bounty Of $3.50. This is
the fourth wolf to whose death City Clerk
Lydiard has certified this winter, and all
previous records are broken. The last
animal was an unusually large and fine
specimen. It was killed near. Hillside
cemetery while Larson was hunting rab-

Each corner Of the city has furnished
a wolf story this winter. The first one
was killed by a boy near Lake Harriet
The next one came from Just beyond Min
nehaha Falls. Then some one shot a wolf
on Penn avenue out toward Crystal lake
The last one was killed in the extreme
northeastern part Of the city.
Wolves are frequently seen near the res

WATERS EFFICIENCY IS DUE TO RADIUM

Hot Springs are due to radio-actiyity

Certain tests Professor Larkin has
made with specially prepared tubes
have convinced him, he says, of the
soundness of his proposition and he
believes he will be able to prove that
the waters of the hot springs give
forth indisputable emanations OF
radium origin. His claims have ex-
Ecited much attention among scientists
and further and more elaborate tests
are to be made at an early date.

WILL COST 100000
Repairs Required Will Keep Theaters
Closed MANY Months


ture for repairs will be required, I'M
der the new theater building ordi-
nance for the opening of Chicago
playhouses. This is the estimate of
theater managers, and it does not in
cludc the amount which will be ex-
pended for the entire rebuilding of at
least one theater. Three theaters will
be closed permanently and five 9TH
ers may be forced to suspend. Few
theaters will be able to use more than
two floors for many months, and many
may abandon the gallery permanently.
The price Of theater tickets is al
most certain to be increased. It is
said that 81 and $3.50 as the stand
ard price for seats is likely to be ad-
vocated by the managers, and that the
low-priced houses will make CORE
spending increases.
