PURPOSE OF INVESTIGATION.

The purpose of the investigation is
two fold; first, to ascertain the cause
OF the increase of the tenant class, al d
second, to make study of the best
methods of renting land. Out Of the
10000 men who own farms which they
rent to tenants, it is believed that
large number will be found who have
given considerable thought to the best
methods of letting land. By bringing
together the exp erience Of the many,
it will be possible to prepare a report
on land tenury in Wisconsin which
will doubtless be of great interest and
value to large number of men who
nave little experience in renting land

conclusive, where is the body? It
will be recalled that when George left
the school house he stated to his
neighbor. Mcdonald and McDonald's
wife that he must return to the house
as he was afraid the gang" would
burn him out. Soon after he left the
school house two shots were heard
from the direction of his residence.
When Mcdonald and his wife reached
the house they found the door locked

The next day blood stains were

some buckshot were picked up on the

on the gatepost.
1t was thought at that time that
this blood had been on the post some
time, as there was no way of telling
how old 1t was. Rain fell between

the theory that George was murdered
has been strengthened and the people
have returned from their opinion that
he voluntarily left the country, to that
that he was done away with by some
enemies, or someone who killed him
or abducted him for his money.
1t was known by his father that
George had $500 hid in an clubhouse.
1t would now appear that some one
else knew this and perhaps killed him
for the money. At any rate a few days
after the disappearance of the man.
]. B. George. his father, was prevailed
on to visit the place where the money
was hidden, and it was missing.
This fact turned many of the neigh
bors from the belief that he had been
foully dealt with. They construed
from this that he had simply left the
country for some reasons best known
to himself and taken the money with
him. This missing money would now
tend to give color to the murder or
abduction theory.

Portland, Jan. At can be an
nounced with almost positive certain
ty that the north bank line of the Hill
roads is the beginning of construction
of direct line east from Portland
to Missoula or Butte, to connect with
the Northern Pacific main line. Tre-
mendous changes OF the railroad man
of the Pacific northwest are to be
wrought by the Chicago, Milwaukee
& st. Pauls invasion of this territory.
Work of the Milwaukee's engineers
the last week has determined the
route to be taken by that road through
the Bitter Root mountains, and it is
not by the Lolo pass.
A pass 30 miles to the south has
been chosen, giving the road nearly an
airline from Butte to Wallula, and it
is said the Milwaukee will be nearly
800 miles shorter than the Northern
Pacific between those points. Con-
fronted by this condition, the Northern
Pacific is compelled to build direct
line from Portland to the east, leaving
part of Idaho on the Tacoma route.
The passes favored by the Milwau-
KEGS engineers are due west from
Stevensville, Mont, and are locally
known as Squaw and Burnt creek
passes. Here the road will enter can
yon of the Locksaw branch of mid !
die fork of the Clearwater river and |
follow that stream west. All last |
engineers were at work on |
the Montana side of the range running |
ines that converge at the summit |
lear these passes. The men now have |
been sent from the Montana side to
work on the middle fork of the Clear
water and their object becomes plain.

hearing, and to have his opinions
weighed in the balance, for in a free
