TO THE PROPERTY OWNERS OF
MARION COUNTY.

1t is a self evident fact that Ma
rion county is ba dly in need of
more factories That there are at
least two hundred thousand acres
of good tilable land not in cultiva
tion, not producing anything, and
source of actual expense to the
owners is well known fact to
those who have investigated this
question. Proposition No two is
the large timbered interest of the
county is rapidly disappearing; the
young pines are being made into
crossties, 80 rapidly is all this be.
ing done that in few years the
sawmill and crosstie industry must
of necessity be a thing of the
past. 1t is therefore most import.
ant for the continuous prosperity
of the county, that the passing
away of these industries should he
anticipated or discounted by in.
augurating other paying Industries
which will add greater and more
permanent valuation to the realty
of the county than those above
mentioned. In view of the fact
that limit must be reached by
the induries mentioned caused by
the exhaustion of the raw material
and the great Importance of Great

material of the farms, and bring

cultivation the uncultivated lands
of the county, thus greatly en-
HANGING the value of all Marion

each and every property owner of
the city and county suggestion if
acted on, will proove paying in,
vestment to those interested
Hel etofore one of the great imped-
iments in the way of the success of
the southern cotton mill
has been the great scarcity
of experienced men. those who IN,
derstood the working of cotton
mill throughout, thus preventing
serious, numerous and costly errors
1 feel encouraged that this very
serious draw back can now be over
come and success of the mill will
be assured beyound question. By
the merest accident I am in posi-
ton by which 1 feel very sanguine
that | can reach the cotton mil
laborers of certain cotton mill dis
trict of England. 1 would sugges
that this advantage be closely fol
lowed by organizing cotton mil
company at Jefferson with suffi
cient capital to put up an up-to-dat'
mill, and by way of inducemen
offer to a limited number of tn
most experienced mill men suffi
cient stock in the company to max
them interested in the success O

J pay for their stock with thei
knowledge and experience. Ono
t such men had charge of the opel
g alton of the mill the success woul
appear to me to be beyond ques

would give their personal atter
ton to fnancieripg the affairs {

Yale college. The two old friends were
glad to meet.
Mr.. Hallock is getting along in years
himself, being in his 72d year. He is
best known as the founder Of Forest
and Stream in 1873. He also founded
the town Of Hallock, in Kittson county
Minnesota, in 1879, with John Swan

That same year Mr.. Hallock made
the trip to the Red river in company
with General G. G. Andrews, Aleck
Kinkaid and George Brott, and wrote

FAMOUS DIVA APPEARS WITH
PAUR AND PITTSBURG ORCHES-
IRA AT AUDITORIUM.

Tonight Nine. Gadski will make her
second concert appearance this season
in Minneapolis under exceptionally IA
vorable circumstances. She is the So
loist Of the Pitt sburg orchestra, whose
concert tonight in the Aud itorium will
close the musical season in impressive
fashion. With the great Wagnerian
chestra, the dramatic number of Nine.
Gadski, the scene and ballad from
"The Flying Dutchman' will be a
rich feast for all Of the Wagnerites,
for neither OF these artists are sur
passed at the present time in America
in their Wagnerian interpretations.
Emil Paur is famed chiefly, perhaps
as the prophet of the modern masters,
'Tschaikowsky, Strauss and others, but
are accepted as authoritative and SUI
perb. He will be heard adequately in
the work Of both schools tonight as he
plays great symphony Of Beethoven
and Tschaikowsky, respectively.
F'raulein Schoen-Rene, who was in
strumental in arranging the Minneap.
oils concert Of. the orchestra, did this
on account of her enthusiastic admira.
tion for Mr.. Paur's work as con
achieved with the orchestra, which she
earnestly desired to have Minneapolis
music lovers hear, believing the oppor
tunity would be appreciated, altho com
ing late in the season. She promises q
delightful surprise in its work, even tc
those convinced Of it's high standing
She attributes the sudden rise in the
rank Of the orchestra to the transcend
emit ability Of Mr.. Paur, aided by every
advantage that money can afford, fol
the orchestra is the best paid Of any
in the country, and Mr.. Paur receives
an immense salary. .

May Not Be Found for Several Days.

Roger Foley, section foreman for
the Minneapolis Western railway, was
drowned in the Mississippi at Eigh-
teenth avenue s this forenoon, falling
fifty feet from trestle to the water
below.
The company is building spur track
along the<bluff and the workmen are di-
rectly over the water. Foley had charge
of a gang on the construction. AS he
was helping the men he slipped, and
with a wild cry, fell into the water
fifty feet below. A fellow workman,
who attempted to save him as he reeled
back, nearly lost his own balance, but
was unable to touch the falling man.
The bluff is almost perpendicular at
that particular point, and before the
men could get to the waters edge
Foley's body was swept away by the
current and was not seen again.
The police were notified by the com.
pany, and officers will drag the river
this afternoon, altho it is feared the
body will be carried several miles
down. t~e :-#

STORY SAYS BIG STAKES
WERE UP IN CRAP GAME

Stories Of one of the "hottest'' crap
games ever played in Minneapolis are
in circulation about the city. The prin-
cipals refuse to, discuss the affair, and
as they alone know Of the transaction
the facts Of the game are hard to OBJ
tain.
The story goes that last Saturday
night, after closing time, the proprietor
and his right-hand man retired to the
back end Of the establishment and
started to play dice. The store is a
Well-known one, it does a big business
in its line and the nature Of the trade
demands running value Of about
$4,000 on stock. &#
Luck, in the crap shooting, is said to
have favored the chief clerk. In a
comparatively short time his employer
had lost his ready cash and began to
make notes. These the clerk took.
everything Of value he could lay hands
on. Finally in fit Of desperation he
put up the store against the winnings
OF his clerk and the notes. The clerk
won. The loser is said to have given
the keys Of the establishment to the
clerk and the latter came down Sunday
morning and opened up. He ran the
Stacked off in the afternoon, the old
proprietor showed up, with $25 which
he had borrowed from friend, and
asked for revenge.
The men are averred to have gone
into. the basement and started playing
by lamplight. At 9 o'clock Sunday
night the original owner of the store
came out Of the cellar, followed by the
clerk. The others noticed that the
owner Of day was gloomy and down
cast, and that the old boss wore smile
and two watches. Rumor, in conclud-
ing the story, says the present owner
not only won back the store from his
clerk, but over $3.50, the savings Of the
subordinate, and his watch as well.

Indications are that notwithstanding
and the great advance in May wheat,
there are still some shorts at the Cham
Der Of Commerce who have not covered.
Whether the outstanding short interest
is still heavy, and whether the wheat
will be bought in or the shorts will
stand on it until May. 81, in hope Of a
final smash, are questions Of prime i'm
portance on the floor, The. rumor that
an appeal will be made to the chamber
the Times Of an article attributing the
Hsqueezeo to Henry L. Little Of the
Pillsbury- Washburn company, gives
rise to the theory that the shorts pro-
pose to make a legal fight, and, as it
would be necessary to prove the exist
ence OF corner to afford basis for a

pany with the deal is the preliminary
step: .-....... ....' -
Henry L: Little, manager of the Pills
bury Washburn company, whose name
has been mentioned as the man running
a corner in May wheat, denies the story
absolutely. ~
Ihe statement that l am now OF
ever have been trying to corner wheat
is wholly false; it lacks even a vestige
of TRUTH said Mr.. Little. It l.
| unjust and unfair. We buy wheat fol
the legitimate purpose of making fou,
| Of it. When we sell -four, we buy
| wheat, either the spot wheat or al
amount for future delivery, equivalen
| to the sale of -four. We own sconsid
| cradle part Of the wheat in store here
having bought and paid for it because
we need it in our mills. We do no
own it all. Other millers do the sam,
as we do, and are in the same position
as ourselves, to greater or less extent
We buy wheat because we need it, an;
when the time comes to use it we TAX
it from the seller and pay cash for it
From the recent action Of the marke
1t would appear that some men in tn
grain trade must have sold wheat TO
May delivery that they did not have
The men who have bought it will wan
it. Ordinarily it would not be Difficult
to buy it, but presumably those VIII
own wheat think it worth money, an
so it is not offered freely for sale. J.
is a perfectly natural and legitimat
situation. The insinuation that GU
company is cornering wheat would b
too absurd and silly to warrant detaile
denial were it not for the fact that tn
publication Of such statements puts u
in wrong light. We are millers, no

Forty Lucky Ones in the Patrons Of

When Managers Watkins Of Minneapo-

they were to give away 200 McKibbin
I hats-100 in each town-during the base
ball season, some people were suspicious
and wondered if it really was ION the
square,
The fact that nearly forty hats have
already been given away has absolutely
dispelled any doubts, and the plan is
making big hit with the patrons of the
games in both towns Every score card
bought contains sealed envelope. In one
or more of these at each game is con-
tanned an order for So hat in any style.
This may be honored at any one of a
number Of stores named on the order. In
the minds of many fans the question, do
I get a hat?" is the one to be decided be-
fore Who's pitching?" and What's the
