Thinks Son was Murdered

CHIPPEWA FALLS. Wis. March 1S.-
The efforts of James Clark during the
past eight weeks to solve the mystery OF
the disappearance of his son, Edgar J.,
have proved futile. He is convinced that
his son was murdered In northern Wis
consin. Mr.. Clark had been in corre
spondence with Gov. Johnson of Mime
sofa, Sheriff Bates of st. Louis county,
Mimi, Marshal Z. Donovan of Chisholm,
Mimi, and other persons. Gov. johnson
replies that he has referred the case to
the police. Sheriff Bates says that he has
made a thorough investigation and finds
that Edgar Clark left Chisholm for Chip
pewa Falls in the first part of January.
A letter from the American agent at
Chisholm says that the son did not send
a satchel from that city. The American
Express agent here claims that II was
sent from Duluth. Mr.. Clark received a
letter today from Marshal Brown of
Hawthorne, Wis. stating that his son
was in Hawthorne about Jan. IL. Young
Clark stated that he was on his way to
Chippewa Falls. From this II would ap-
pear that Edgar Clark was not murdered
at Chisholm or Duluth. as first believed.

Opportunities to reclaim arid lands,
Mr.. Wilder says, appear TO exist in the
larger flats on the Missouri river. In
choosing fiat where reclamation by
pumping may be tried under most ia
orable conditions, number of factors,
he says, must be kept in mind. Near

essential as an abundance Of cheap
