Triumph Of the Smiths.

,'Rah for the Smiths! 'Rah,

Smith-All 81 of him. =
For the Smiths have come back
to their own. No longer are they
a weak and shrinking minority,
snubbed by the proud Johnsons.
For a hasty count of Spokane's
new city directory reveals 800
Smiths--overshadowing complete
ly the 529 Johnsons, the 80 John
stons, the 10 Jensens, the 2 John
stones, the pair Of Johannessens
and the lone Johansen. And this
without. counting the % Schmidts,
the A Smythes and a couple of
Smyths at all.
Yet John Johnson survives and
retrieves a wee bit of his family's
fading honors. For 20 John
Johnstons, are listed-a fine tri-
umph over the 81 William Smiths
and the 18 namesakes of the dar-
ling of Pocahontas.
The Joness are not so many

new POWER FOR
RED VALLEY men
FARMERS ACETATE PLAN FOR
TRANSMITS ELECTRICITY.
Available Waterpower Is Enormous and
They Have Visions Of Homes Lighted
and Machinery Driven by Electricity
,-Ralph's Statement Arouses Inter
esting Speculation.
Suecial to The Journal,

Special to The Journal. 4t,
Crookston, Mimi, April 8.-Should the
plans of a half-hundred Red river val
ley farmers be carried out, steam power
and cumbersome threshing engines will
be things of the past in this region,
and the windmills which have done
faithful service in pumping water,
churning butter and saving cordwood,
will be found of but little use.
The Red Lake river between this city
and Red Lake Falls, according to
George A. Ralph, state engineer, con-
tains 10000 horsepower of dormant cleo
trio energy which needs but the hand
Of man to bring into life and activ-
ity. Farmers living in the valley have
pondered over the matter since an
nouncement was made of the vast
amount of undeveloped power. The
plan proposed by lf-hundred at a
recent meeting was for the erection Of
Lake river and the building Of an cleo
trio railroad from this city to Grand
Forks. The trolley wires will serve a
double purpose, in that they are to be
tapped wherever current is necessary
for farm work, farm lighting or thresh-
ing, and the voltage used paid for at
regular rates to be established.
The ideas of the farmers are feasible
altho as yet, very crude. The advantage
of a mutual electric generating com
pany owned and operated by the farm
ers of the valley over the present ex
pensive system of steam power can
easily be seen and the project only
needs man at the helm with sufficient
organizing ability and business talent
to be a success.

Poplar, Iowa, April ga triple flu
neral in this village today, at which
Michael Nelson and his two little
daughters were buried, ended, it is
hoped, the long nightmare Of crimes
that has followed the murder Of Frank
P. Richardson seven years ago.
Nelson has always been supposed to
have murdered Richardson. He is be-
ieved to have killed his first wife; he
murdered another man in order that
he might marry the widow; he drove
the second wife away with the threat
of death; he murdered his two chill
dren, tried to kill his father and moth
er, and then blew out his own frenzied
brains. 49, '~. 80 ~
Danny Westrope and -. -. Christian
Ebert were suspected of being accom-
plices in the Richardson murder. West
rope drowned himself four years ago
and Ebert disappeared just as Richard
son did: 1t is believed Nelson muir
dered him. : - -. p.
Nelson stabbed his two children to
death in their bed, and later, when his
father and mother called on him and
asked where they were, he gave them
:trychnine in coffee, which, fortunately
only made them sick. ~ ~,
He left a note to his parents asking
forgiveness, saying he could not help it.
