GET WORKINGMEN'S PAY
SALOONS SAID TO DERIVE GREAT
PROFIT BY CASEING CHECKS OF
WAGE-EARNERS.

Shall the saloons be allowed to cash,
checks for slaboring people? The ques-
ton was informally discussed at a
meeting of the Improvement league yes
cterday afternoon. Many laboring men
have their pay checks cashed at the
saloons, where they are very apt to
leave for drinks and treats a large
share Of their pay. It was reported
that one firm Of liquor dealers draws
about $4,000 from the bank every Sat
urday to accommodate the laboring
people, who usually leave dollar each
behind them. The league did not take
any definite action in the matter, but
it is probable that it will at later
meeting.
The matter of spring cleaning was
also discussed and an effort will be
made to enforce the laws which pro-
hibit throwing rubbish and papers in
the streets. The distribution of hand
bills from door to door, the matter of
ashes that are carelessly thrown in
yards and lots, as well as the habit Of
the men who look after the street
lamps have of throwing old globes to
the ground to litter it with broken
Anna Gjertson, who was a visitor,
asked the league to take action in re-
gard to servants to see that they were
properly treated in households and that
they received their salaries. a~
Officers were elected as follows: Pres
ident, Mrs. Louise Reyes; secretary,
Mrs. Asa Wilcox; treasurer. Mrs. l..

SENDING NO MONEY EAST
MINNEAPOLIS BANKS, UNLIKE
OMAHA, HAVE USE AT HOME
FOR THEIR FUNDS. H..

Attic minneapolis banks are not tax
ing advantage Of the high call loan
money rates in the east, it is reported
from Omaha that the banks there have
sent over 100000 to be invested in
call loans. One institution alone sent
$3.50, 900.
In Minneapolis the situation is diff
ferent. Omaha has at this time large
surplus over immediate local demands
Minneapolis is using it's money in tax
ing care Of the wheat movement. Local
banks have at times taken advantage Of
high rates on Wall street calls, when
the season was right, but this is Mime
apolis' busy season and the money is
needed at home. In Omaha the situa-
tion might have been reversed had the
season been one of heavy local demand.
Minneapolis banks are usually flush
with surplus over local calls, but just
now find themselves pretty heavily
loaded up taking care Of their own GUS
toners. ~s
The reserve in Omaha banks has
greatly increased in volume recently and
is being sent east for profitable invest
ment. One banker there said that this
is the first instance where western banks
have been material factors in supplying
the east with money, the conditions hav-
ing heretofore been just the reverse.
Other cities, he said, were also loaning
large amounts of money in the east.

DON'T AGREE ON
new LAND LAW
ITS AUTHOR BELIEVES RESULTS
WE'RE GOOD AT SALES.
Another House Member Attacks the
Law and Says Little Benefit Was Re
ceived-Auditor Iverson Says Adver-
Using Brought Unusual Number of
Buyers from Outside of Minnesota.

A. L. Cole Of Walker, who as a mem
Der OF the last house, fathered the new
law governing sales of state land, is
in the twin cities. Mr.. Cole attended
two Of the sales, and is enthusiastic
over their success. The restrictions
imposed by the new law, he believes,
have hadsthe effect of encouraging act
ual settlers. He also believes that the
money spent for advertising state lands
by the immigration bureau, was well
spent. m>e 2
Elmer E.. Adams. editor of the Fer
gus Fails Journal, who, as member
of the house, opposed the new law, de-
clared in an editorial that the appro-
priation did not bring results, and that
shut out many inten ding buyers. M:
Cole takes direct issue with this, and
is supported by the state land depart
ment. State Auditor Iverson is having
a tabulation made of the sales, for the
purpose of comparing with previous
years. 1t is expected to show a good
price average, considering that the pick
Of state lands has been sold in former
years and that the land now being sold
was passed over at previous sales. Mr..
lverson says: ~, aN.~
'There were an unusual number of
buyers from out Of the state at most
IN much higher prices. Where local
men bid for the land alone they got it
at the appraised price. Local men sell
dom bid against each other. But the
land the outsiders wanted was usually
bid up. The newcomer did not always
get it, but would bid on tract after
tract until he got something:
"'These people were brought in by
the states advertising, and many sales
of other land were made to such home
seekers. In Kanabec county one deal
er sold four improved farms to men
from other states before the state sale.
There were such deals in every county,
brought by the states advertising.
Judge Murray, Of Wadena, sold about
$4,000 worth Of his own land to men
who had come, attracted by the state s
offerings. The state sold more land to
outsiders than the books show. Many
came before the sales and looked over
land and went home leaving local men
to buy it in for them. We knew Of
several such cases."
Mr.. Cole may run next year for the
senate in the Fifty-second district, but
thinks of returning to the house. If
he does he is considered a likely selec-

FOUND It HARD
TO ENTER RUSSIA
& CO.'S CROP INvEsTI-
GATOR HAD DIFFICULTY.
He Has Finally Penetrated the Int.
rior, However, and His First Gable
Indicates a Probable Grain Shortage
Of 6oO,OO0,oOo Bushels 100000
of This Represents Wheat. :. j..

John Inglis, the crop expert, who was
in the northwest wheat fields in August
sizing up the crop and in Minneapolis
just prior to Sept. l, surprised the grain
trades today with cablegram from
Russia, where he is now looking into
crop conditions. About mid-August,
first reports began to come across the
due to a smaller acreage caused by the
water Of losses in, the Russian crops,
drawing of men from the farms into
the army and subsequent unfavorable
weather --.. -.
Russia is very hard country to get
accurate information from at any time,
and with the disturbances in the inte-
rior and at the Black sea ports, there
the extent of the damage. The Wat
sons engaged Mr.. Inglis to investigate
and he left Minneapolis intending to
make forced trip, sparing no expense,
and taking advantage of every avail
able means to reach the Russian fields.
Mr.. Inglis had the highest credentials,
passports, letters Of introduction and
everything that would ordinarily insure
speedy access to either primary or Of
fetal sources of information, but upon
reaching the Russian frontier a state of
utter confusion was found. Great dis
turbances were or, in the interior and
glis, with several prominent Journalists
and fnanciers, was obliged to return to
Berlin. Later he got across and is now
in the interior of central Russia.
Translation of Mr.: Inglis first cable,
in today, gives what is apparently his
first general impression, which is that
Russia has lost in round figures 500, 000,-
900 bushels grain. This is not taken
here as comprehensive, but rather as in
dicating preliminary summary of the
situation, as Mr.. Inglis has scarcely had
time yet to cover the vast country ex-
tensively.
The Russian central statistical COM
mittee, in the former report, made the
total shortage, compared with last year,
about 700,0 100000 bushels in all grains.
Russia is an enormous producer Of grain,
turned out over 1000 100000 bushels
of rye in a good season. It was in rye
that the statistical committee found
the heaviest shortage.
Mr.. Inglis' impression is that there
is loss Of 200,O0O,oo0 bushels each in
cats and rye and about 100000, 900
bushels in wheat, or 500,OO0,OOo bushels
in all.

ELKS TO CONSIDER
CLOSING CLUB BAR

The question of closing the club
buffet Sundays will probably be taken
up tonight by the Elks. It is expected
that one of the members will introduce
a resolution calling for action similar
to that taken by the directors Of the
Commercial club, who issued Sunday
closing order also immediately after
Mayor jones' famous manifesto. The
majority of the club sentiment seems to
indorse the board of directors in it's
move and the meeting of the Elks to-
night to consider a like question is be-
ing watched with interest by other clubs
and citizens generally owing to the or
