OUTPUT UNDIM1NIsHED
Flour Mills Continue Heavy Shipments,
Despite Car Shortage.

Despite the extreme scarcity of cars
in the northwest, the Minneapolis mill
ers have been able to keep open the
outlet for their enormous production.
Yesterdays cures showed an outward
movement of $3.50 barrels and the
posted cures today were s10Q,845 bar
rels. The roads have made great eff
forts to prevent congestion and the
blocking Of the industry.
Some fear is entertained by the mill
ers that the situation may turn for the
worse and compel them to cut down the
output, but up to date enough empties
have been set in every day to carry off
the big tonnage and prevent back
flow. Much -four is going across Wis
consin and over the Lake Michigan car
ferries for eastern distribution.

Cripple's Choice Bit Of Fiction Mailed

q C.sS. johnson, cripple, tried to work
on Judge G. 4. Smiths sympathies in

day sentence for failing to stick to the

member while in the Klondike. Some
of the old policemen, however, knew
the man and remembered when he lost
his leg while stealing ride on a train.
They told the facts to Judge Smith.
