FARMERS TURN. TRICK
ON PRESIDENT HILL
How They Make Him Build Their
Schoolhouses in the State
of Washington. H..
Special to The Journal.

Special to The Journal.
Spokane, Wash, Sept. 9.-James J.
Hill, head of the Great Northern road,
has built and maintains the only school
house in district No. 4, Douglas county.
He does this, not because of philan-
thropic motives, but because he is the
only taxpayer III the district. Residents
of the district gravely voted bonds with
which to erect a magnificent modern
schoolhouse, but every tax receipt that
is issued in payment of those bonds is
issued to James J. Hill.
The schoolhOuse stands near the line
Of the Great Northern railway, where
sagcbrush fourishes and where people
are wont to go miles to visit their
nearest neighbors. Every farmer for
section after section is a homesteader.
The United States government recently
made decision to the effect that home
steads on which the owner has not yet
fully proved up cannot be taxed; the
Washington state law exempts all i'm
Drovements thereon to the extent Of
$500, actual valuation 49, E.-...-z.
When the residents of the school dis
triet met recently and decided to build
a $500 modern schoolhouse, they knew
full well that not one of them had in
vested more than $500 in improvements
on their respective farms and; that
therefore, the only taxable land in the
district was that Of the Great Northern
railway. Thus it came about that
James j. Hill bore all the expense. In
test cases in other localities, he has
found it was impossible to avoid this
species of holdup and he therefore 40.

with remarkable, talent as "a painter,
Miss Adelaide Magner of: this city is
making a name for herself in; the world
Of art. On two occasions her pictures
have wen the highest merit honors in
important competitions in New York,
and her teachers regard her as one Of
the most promising Of the younger
generation of American artists. Unlike
many students, Miss Wagner has not
specialized, but is equally enthusiastic
over figure composition, landscape and
portrait painting, and with only three
years of preparation in New York her
work is attracting attention thruout the
east. She has painted several excel
lent portraits and is now engaged upon
one Of Governor John A. J Johnson.
Miss Wagner is a daughter of Mr..
and Mrs. John Magner, among the
earliest settlers Of Nicollet county, and
is country girl. She was born on the
Wagner FARM; adjoining StanPeter,
where her parents still reside, but 'ad.

PULPW0oD IN DEMAND
Farmer with Plenty Of Spruce on His
Land Is in Luck.

Big Falls, MINI, Sept. 81. Gerouix,
who has a contract to purchase pulp
wood for the Watab paper mill at St.
Cloud, and who is one of the best
posted men in the north country rela-
tive to pulpwood, expects the sale Of
such timber to be heavy the coming
winter.
Prices will probably remain about
where they are now he says. 'The
demand from the Wisconsin mills can
not reach this far west. but their prices
will affect this country. The fact that
paper can be made from spruce and
balsam has been a great boon to the
settlers. IA farmer with part of his
land covered with this paper-maling
timber is able to clear up nice little
profit in the winter months, enough to
pay for all incidentals of the year,

help him. It isn't hard work getting
out spruce; the trees usually are easily

This startling discovery spread rap

mystery that little systematic work was
done until a few days later, when DR..

murder: In a dark closet Of house
