HIGHER Lie ENSE WINS.
LARGE Vote Cast on the Important Is
sue at Hudson.

The advocates for a higher saloon
license for the city of Hudson won out
bv a majority of 1O7 at the special
CITY election. The total vote cast was
very large-larger than in April ut

other city officers. All the carriages
available in the city were used IN

zeal leaders were as active as in heat
ed general elections. The vote by
wards was as follows:
First ward, total vote 106, of which
80 were for $500 license, l for $3.50
fee. and 66 for a 5000 fee. Second

228. of which 142 were for the $500

OLDEST WOMAN DEAD. AGED 800.
Mrs. Karen Sofia Olsdatter of Cumber-
land Active tJp to the Last.

Mrs. Karen SOfia OlSoatrer OF GUNNER
land Active Up to the Last.
Mrs. Karen Sofia Olsdatter, who for
years has lived on farm east of Cum
berland, is dead at the age of LOG
years and 5 months. She retained fun
possession of her mental faculties up
to the last.
Mrs. Olsdatter, whose maiden name
was Karen Olson, was born in fish
erman's hut near the village Of Mos
jon, on the northern coast of Norway,
April 4, 1900. Her early days were
spent in her native land attending the
country school and helping her father
catch the finny tribe. When twenty-five
years OF age she married John Olsdat-
ter, and to them were born four daugh-
tiers and three sons. One OF her sons
fought with Dewey at Manila bay but
Is at present engaged in the mining
business in Colorado. Another son re-
sides in Norway on the old homestead
and is a great grandfather, which con-
dition gave Mrs Olsdatter the proud
distinction of being at the head OF five
living generations.
Mrs. Olsdatter's husband died in the
old country several years ago, leaving
her in poor financial circumstances
and dependent upon her children. She
came to Cumberland in 1875, being one
of the first settlers.
She had a remarkable memory and
was able to recite stories told her by
her grandfather nearly ninety years
ago Although q resident of this coun-
try for twenty-six years, she was I'M
able to converse in the English Ian
guage.
Mrs. Olsdattel appeared always to
be perfectly contented with her lot and
was always happy and jovial The at

she never worried, was regular In

SUGGESTS BOND ISSUE.
Superior Mayor Not Discouraged by
Councils Action Against Levy.

Superior Mayor Not Discouraged by
Councils Action Against Levy.
Although apparently defeated by
the action of the Superior council in
refusing to adopt the report OF com
mittee recommending a tax levy for
the purpose of constructing a munich
pal lighting plant, Mayor Linley has
not given up his fight for municipal
ly owned light plant. He has an
nouneed that he will call special
meeting of the council within a few
days to consider the proposition to is
sue bonds instead Of putting the cost
of the plant into the tax levy.
1t is intimated that some of those
WHO voted in opposition TO the tax
levy viii take more kindly to the
proposition to issue bonds, thereby
spreading the cost of the plant over a
period of years. There are different
plans being suggested under this meth
Cd. One contemplates the levying OF
a percentage of the cost OF construc-
ton and issuing bonds for the remain
der. The bonds would necessarily be
issued with the plant as the special
security for the issue, as the city S
general bonded indebtedness already
is up to the limit, and the bonds could
be issued only under the provisions Of
the act of the legislature, passed at
the last session, which permits cities
to acquire public utilities in this man
ner.
Mayor Linley has not yet decided
upon the date for the special council
meeting.-W

NEW FIELD FOR FARMERS.
Raising Flax for Manufacture lntt
Binding TWine.

Raising Flax tor Manufacture lngo
Binding Irvine.
That much talked of flax Irvine in
dustry, which, because it has not been
talked about for q while, has been
credited with the fate Of many other
talked Of things, is a much alive fac
around New Richmond Some folks
will be surprised to hear it, but it is
a fact that this new local industry is
to-day in a flourishing and exception
ally promising condition. A visit to
the stacking grounds of it's promo
tiers will convince any one.
The stacking grounds present an in
teresting sight. Long rows of well
built stacks, put UP in the regular
grain stack style, stand across the lot.
There are some seventy of them alto
gether, and the number is being stead
ily added to and will be for some little
while yet. The larger part OF the
stacking is done, however.
In about month presser, designed
especially for the purpose, will be
shipped from st. Paul by the Interna-
tional Irvine company, and then all
this accumulated straw will be press
ed into bales and shipped to the city.
There it will be pat through a process
which will effectively separate the
grain heads from the straw, and later
will be made into Irvine.
Those who have during the last few
weeks noted the almost continual
stream of farmers teams hauling in
load after load of flax will be interest
ed in hearing that over 400 loads have
already been brought into New Rich
mond, every one averaging ton or
more in weight.
The fax crop is heavy this year, not
only because weather conditions have
been favorable, but because the. crop
was planted thiclzly for the purpose OF
meeting the market demand for straw.
G. L. jerks, who represents the Inter
national Twine company, made pref
ty thorough canvass of the local helds
last spring, and it is due greatly to his
direction and advice in the matter
that the flax yield this year is so salts
factory. He enlisted the interest OF q
large number of farmers in the busl'
ness.
John Martin, who has had charge OF
the business in New Richmond, says
everything points to a successful out
come of the undertaking. Many OF
our farmers are interested" he SAD,
and as a result we are meeting with
a ready response to our call for flax.
While no contract is made between
the company and the farmers, the lat
ter having the right to dispose OF their
fax as they wish, threshing 1t them
selves or selling it to the twine COM
pany, the prices paid by the company
are so remunerative as to make most
OF the fax farmers anxious to sell It,
This industry will undoubtedly
make binding Irvine sell at much
more reasonable price than the manila
product permits. The benefit OF this
to the farmer can readily be seen.
But, best of all, flax makes twine OF
first-class quality, strong, durable and
flexible"
Nearly 900 acres of land are repre-
sented in the flax now waiting 10 be
pressed. The pressing will begin IN
about month The bales will be
large. weighing from $50 TO ZOO
pounds. AS they are pressed they will
be loaded into cars and shipped to the
