Storms in the West and the
BlOckades.

New York, Jan. 31,-James J. Hill,
president of the Great Northern rail-
way, arrived in New York, late yester-
day from out Of the Northwest, where
seven hundred miles of his road are
buried under snow drifts and the worst
blizzard in it's history is raging. Speak
ing of the storms, Mr.. Hill said:
"The storms raging from Larimore,
N. D., to the foot of the Rockies are
almost unparalleled in the history of
that country. Out of seventy-three
winter days, we have had sixty days of
storm. But we don't expect any dis
astrous effects, if the weather moderates
soon.
Notwithstanding the severity of the
winter, wrong impression prevails IN
the East regarding the sufferings of our
Western citizens. That idea has been
fostered out there by the little politicians
who have been sending kilograms to
Washington.
''Why, out in Devils Lake, which IS
in the heart of the storm center, they
are giving balls and dances. They were
very indignant to learn that the East
believed they were starving and freez-
ng. Grand Forks, which is supply
station, sent word in every direction to
learn where there was any want or suf-
fering. They heard from one man who
was in need of tobacco, while another
said his supply of crackers had run
short
It is a speedy way of disposing of the
hundreds of distress kilograms to say
that it is the work of small politicians.
Doubtless there are places not at all
distressed, but a single instance doesn't
prove the general conditions. The
evidence is beyond doubt that the west
is suffering.

PURE FOOD LAW
opinion of An Inspector Regarding
New Order.

We quote the following from a re-
cent issue of the Chippewr Indepen-
dent:
Frank Buzzell, State Pure Food In
spector, who is making a tour of the
state and watching the operation of
the pure-food law is of the opinion
that before the year closes the local
merchants, especially the grocers, will
be pleased with the working of the
law.
The new law places the response
bility for the purity of food products
where 1T belongs = on the manufac-
turer-and relieves the wholesaler or
retailer from the burden imposed on
them by a state law.
The new law is a good thing. It had
come to point where everybody was
seeking to manufacture goods just as
cheaply as he could. 1t was question
of selling the goods cheap. The result
was that cheap adulterations were used
in almost everything, and one could
never tell when he was buying a pure
articles.

Whv Not Celery?


Here is a question, why not raise eel
cry in Rusk county?
The great celery producing point in
this country is at Kalamazoo, Mich.
1t is raised on land at one time thought
to be useless. Later on it was deemed
of a little value and afterward became
the removed celery center. Those
lands now are held at fabulous valua-
tions.
Those lands do not appear to differ
materially from our lands of similar
character. Why not try it here and
determine the important and interest
ing question whether or not our lands
are equally we'll adapted to the pro-
duction of the plant? Why not? 1t is
likely that it would be success. The
swamps of Michigan have no monopoly
over the celery industry.
We know of no extensive or contin-
GUS effort at celery raising in Rnsk Co.
We are told that farmer in the coun-
ty raised patch of celery this year on
upland clay soil and that the yield was
large, the quality handsome and the
returns in cash handsome. This would
indicate that our climate and natural
conditions are very favorable to celery
culture. Such being the case, we
should have practical and scientific
endeavor made to test the industry on
our swamp soil.
Here is proposition for the Grass
land Association to consider.
Attorney Haggerty went to Phillips
today on legar business.
Jack McFarlane was in the clay from
Ingram yesterday.
August Simon is attending poultry
show at the Twin Cities.
Clayton Sergeant of Fern was in the
city Thursday night and Friday morn
ing took the limited for Montana.
NJ. w. Baker, representing the Dells
Pulp and Paper company, was in the
city Thursday.

THAT BRICK QUESTION
Are We to Have Home Industry in
that Line.


that Line.
The News has been persistent, insis-
tent and, we trust, consistent in urging
the establishment of brick yard at
Ladysmith.
We believe that all the conditions
point to the desirability of having such
an institution. It would employ men,
cheaper this needed building neaterial
and keep our money at home. Why
not?
1t is a practical proposition. Large
quantities of brick have been used every
year in the past-and the signs of the
time indicate that larger quantities
will be used in the future. The demand
is present and it will be larger with
cheaper brick.
Then there is another feature-cheap-
er building material means better build
ings and better buildings means better
town.
We can afford to have brick yard
and we can't afford not to have it.

A Winter Evening.

(By Ladysmith School Girl.)
The moon ahd stars were shining
Above the frozen river, ...
And young young people were skating
It's frozen bosom over.
I was studying in the parlor,
Oh! how dry the lessons were,
When suddenly there came knock,
Iquickly l opened the door. u
AS did so | was greeted
By the invitation,
"Get your skates and come along,
We will have a recreation. 2"
I, of course, consented,
And we soon were on our way; 81
We had fun enough that night
To make up for all day.
The banks of the river were lighted
By bonfres here and there,
And laughing boys and girls
Were skating everywhere.
Next day the lessons seemed more
real,
They were not hard and dry. ts'
When teacher asked US to recite
We promptly said "I'll try"

GETTING AHEAD
Abserved By Ladysmith Banker in
Recent Years.

Recent I ears.
A Ladysmith banker who has had
good offortunity to observe and know
of conditions, says that conditions in
and about the city has improved wonder
fully in the last three years. This has
been both in the city and country. The
people who were here three years ago
have gone ahead rapidly. He Essays, too,
that the more recent additions to our
population, both urban and rural, come
with more funds than was for mally the
case.
It is evident that the next five years
will see much more rapid development
than the last five.

SLIPPER BANK
 PROVES INSECURE
Jewels That Were Hidden in Toe Removed by Thief
 On Train.

NEW YORK, May 24.-Tucked, for purposes of concealment, in the toe of slipper. more than S5.000 worth of jewelrX. owned by Arthur w. Dewey relative of the hero of Manila Bay, Is being searched for by detectives, 1t having mysteriously disappeared in supposed transit from the Hotel Gren. oble to Atlantic City.
 Despite the reticence of the West Forty-seventh street police and the headquarters detectives, it is known that NIT. and Mrs. Dewey have sui fered this loss, and that Police Con- missioner Bingham, an old schoolmate of Mrs. Dewey, has set some of his shrewdest men to work on the 1nys- tery.
 Mr and Mrs. Dewey left the Gren, oble few days aco to .,cnd the spring and summer at Atlantic City. They did not ship all Uhnir eyeccs at once, but left orders tlIat several packages in the apartments should be delivered to them later at the New Jerse resort,
 An eXpressman, whose name is with held, is said to have taken the goods in charge, but the Deweys did not receive the bundles, in one of which was the slipper containing the jew els. Mir. Dewey would be content to bear the other loss if he could regain possession ot a ring which his father gave him when he was a boy.

FALLS 5O FEET;
 SLIGHTLY HURT
K E. StogdiII Drops Through Man-Way - SuStainS a
 Broken Kneecap,
s o sEcRETA.

K. E. Stogdill, a miner in the en- ploy of the Copper Queen Mining Company at the Lowell shaft. was taken to the hospital early yesterday morning suffering from a broken kneecap which he sustained after fall ing fifty feet down man-way. The escape of the man from death or serious injury is considered very fortunate.
 About 2:30 o'clock yesterday morn ing Stogdill, who was at work on one of the lower levels, was walking along the drift to get to another part of the same level His attention was occu- pied and suddenly he disappeared through manhole, at the same time letting out terrified yell. Some men who were working near the man-way noticed what had happened and called for the cage to get below. When they arrived there some men who were working at the lower end of the chute had picked Stogdill up. thinking he was dead. They took him to the sur face and one of the company's medical sJan was called from the hospital. The physician made a thorough examination, finding that he was only suffering from broken kneecap. He was taken to the hospital in an am bulance, and last evening was resting easy. while wondering at his good fortune.
 An operation will be performed on the wounded member within the next day or two, and within a short time Stogdill will be back at work.

WIFE PAINTS ON STAND FOR
 HUBBY
Defends Him Against Charge of Smuggling by Identifying Jewels As Bought a Year Before, and Then CollapSes.

NEW YORK, May 24.-wth a gilt tering heap of jewels in front of her, alleged to have been stolen from two firms in New York and London, Mrs. Charles Roehrer in court made a de- termined defense of her accused hus- band until she tainted on the witness stand.
 One by one Mrs. Roehrer picked from the dazzling heap and identified 10 their minutest detail the flashing gems which she declared her husband had given to her before they went abroad. She had established a strong defense for Roehrer when she was suddenly asked if she did not know that her husband had been in prison just before she married him.
 Mrs. Roehrer attempted to answer, but her voice failed her and she sank in faint. The little woman was re- moved from the courtroom to an ad- joining chamber When she was re- vived she turned first to the woman who was attending her.
 Dld 1 mahe good witness?" she asked. T wanted so much to tell the truth. Tn all of my illness my hus- band has been so good and kind to me, and I know that he is not guilty of these charges against him.
 The hearing was before United States Commissioner Shields on the application of the British government for extradition papers for Roehrer and Preston A. Greene, the self-coniessed gem rObber, of Tiffany & Co, of this city, and London & Ryder, of LpB- don, England Roehrer was arrested in company of Greene and large quantity of jewelry he had in his pos session was confiscated.
 Lawyer Fox, representing the Eng fish government, demanded that the commissioner grant eMradEtion pa- pers on the evidence brought out at the hearing. There is admitted guilt on the part of Greene. Roehrer, who pro1esses to have been an innocent victim of circumstances, was repre- sented by Joel NJ. Marx, William NJ. Byrne and Clarence S. Houghton. He is determined to fight extradition to the highest courts if necessary.
 Aside from Mrs Roehrer, Greene was the most important witness for Roehrer. He said he alone had robbed Tiffany's and London & Ry- der's' and with a wealth of illustra- ton and detail he described how he had committed the thefts. He insist ed Roehrer was in no way implicated and that he had met him only casual ly as steamer companion on the trip over from Europe
 The attorneys endeavored to prove that the diamonds and other gems found upon Roehrer and seized by the customs officials and Central office detectives had been owned by the ac- cused man and his wife for year prior to his European trip. Three women who had lived in the same apartment house with the Roehrers at No. 16 Lincoln place, Brooklyn. were called. Each. without hesita- tiOn, picked out an emerald brooch. rings and diamond eardrops as hay ing been worn by Mrs. ROehrer for a year prior to the London robberies.
 Before each of these witnesses was called the great pile of jewels was jumbled up, but none of the three dis played the slightest hesitancy in pick ing out the jewels of Roehrer and his wife. Before Mrs. Roehrer was call ed the jewels were again thoroughly mixed

S1 100000 ARSON
 PLOT UNCOVERED

CHICAGO, May 24.-A gigantic ar- son plot, extending to ten attempts within month to wipe out the $1 ,OOO- oO0,O 900 plant of the Grand Crossing Tack Company at Seventy-ninth street and Stony Island avenue, was uncov- cred in sensational revelations made by Fire Attorney Hogan.
 Five of the fires have been proved of ineeldiary origin. Three young men have been ordered held for ex- animation. Important arrests are threatened as the result of the plot.
 'WeShaye discovered enough to convince us that there has been a conspiracy to burn down the tack fac tory and put it out of business" de clared Attorney Hogan. Youths, believe. set the fires, at the lnstigl- ton of certain men who mad reasons Tor wishing to destroy the tack com. pany plant"
 The young men taken into custody today and placed in the sweatbox by the fire attorney are:
 Nicholas Douse. SsS9 Manistee Ay- enue.
 Nicholas Michaels.
 John Dorsey.
 T saw several of the fires" Mi chaels admitted, but I had nothing to do with starting them. It is true that I like to watch the fire engines at yJrk. but then so do lots or peo- ple."
 The young men are employees of the tack company.
 There have been ten fires within the last month" said Attorney Hogan, after a conference with Vice Presi- dent Hutchinson Three of the fires were started in one night. Two of themn reached such proportions that general alarms were necessary in or der to save adjacent property.
 investigation discloses the fact that five of the fires at least were of incendiary origin, for we have Jne waste which was used by the fire 1 fiends or the conspirators. There is reason to believe that the persons who wished the factory destroyed re- tained others tc> start the fires"
 Detectives Eolf and Rogers brought the youths to the fire attorneys osice ! for examination They were closely questioned for two hours. and later will be again forced to answer ques- tions.
 Secrecy is thrown about the iden- { tity of the men believed to be impli. cated in the big plot to destroy the tack factory.
