A Correction

1t having come to our notice
that there are rumors to the eff
feet that because we are build
ing another factory in Minneso-
ia. we intend to discontinue
operations here.
We wish to state that there is
no truth in this report. We be-
lieve there is stock and timber
tributary to this city that is
suitable for our use, to last for
a good many years. AS reports
of kind are more or less injury
to the city an0 to 81 selves, we
make the statement, that in our
opinion we will be making. Crat-

State to Buy Tax Titles.

An act has been passed by
the present legislature provid-
ing that the Com mmissioner of
Public lands shall purchase
from the counties north of town
33, all lands which it may select
for the purpose of creating a
forest reserve. upon which the
counties have acquired tax deeds
and that hereafter when coun-
ties take tax deeds on lands the
County Clerk ust furnish such
commissioner with a list of lands
so acquired and must not sell
them to anyone within q year af-
ter date of deed, unless the
Commissioner gives notice that
the lands are not desired by the
state. This will have a tendency
to do away with the practice of
allowing the county to take tax
deeds and then selling them to
individuals.

Northern Pacific to do Much This
Summer.
All Cuts to be Widened and
long Bridge near Iron
River to be Filled.

A work train and a crew of
men will be put to work out on
the line of the Northern Pacific
between this city and Iron Riy-
er IN the course Of a few days
and all of the cuts along the line
where trouble was experienced
last winter with snow blockades

Make Important Announcement While
in the CITY YESTERDAY
Were Conducted over the
Ground of Proposed Depot
by Committee.

Eight officials of the North
ern Pacific railroad visited
the city yesterday ostensibly
for the purpose of looking
over the ground upon which
the extension of the line and
the depot buildings are to be
built. The officials came in
their own special train via
the Omaha road, and were
met by a committee Of the
Commercial club headed by
President Meehan. That
considerable encouragement
is felt among the citizens as a
result OF the visit may be
verified by talking with mem
bers of the committee.
While no definite announce
ment was made as to the in
tentions of the company,
they did say that negotiations
for the transfer of easement

extention Of the line were

Wins Contest Case.

George Francis received word
from Wausau Monday morning
to the effect that he had been
successful in winning out in the
contest case against Ole E. Olson
for homestead lands on the Bar
rons. The case was a hard
fought one on both sides and
occupied the attention of the
clerk of court of Bayfield, county
for a day and a half. It is said
that Mr.. Olson will appeal the
case to the Interior Department
at Washington.

some time to complete the work.

Rain Welcomed.

The showers of Sunday even
ing and Monday morning we're
most, welcome to the farmers
and gardeners of this region and
will go a long way towards help
ing the crops along. This has
been one of the dryest seasons
ever experienced iu this vicinity
and the ground was simply
parched. Reports come from
all over the lake region that a
great deal of rain fell during the
last storm. At Iron River two
and one-half inches was record
ed at the experimental farm and
it is estimated that as much or
more fell here. Stra wberry
raisers around this city were
almost afraid that their crops
would be ruined, and by some it
is indicated that the rain we did
get came too late to do a great
amount Of good. J. HI. Ketchum m
of Ashland Junction says that
be will only have about half a
crop owing wholly to the dry
weather. The exceedingly hot
weather withers the plants and
scorches the fruit.

They Used Liauid Air.

Cincinnati, Ohio-Lieutenant Helm.
rich Won Bargay, Austrian naval ex-
pert, visiting here, declares he has
solved the mystery of the Japanese
victory over the Russians. The Aus
trian officer made careful investiga-
tion Of the effect of the Japanese shells
upon the entertainments and armored
shipping. and his conclusions are start
ling.
Japan ased liquid air instead of cord
ite, melinite, dynamite or other explo-
sives ordinarily used for charging ar
mor-piercing projectiles," said Won Bar
gay. 81 have plenty of circumstances
that show my conclusions more than
probable.
In the first place it was noted dur
ing the late war that the holes, rent
and tears inflicted by the Japanese
shell were irregular in shape
and many times as large as
those produced by ordinary
shells. 1t was also noted that no
trace of the body of the shell could be
found after it had exploded, that no
Russian sailors were struck with bits
of exploding projectiles, that those who
were killed by shell fire were killed by
the force of the explosion and not by
fragments of steel. and that the explo-
sive forces exerted by the shells were
vastly greater than ever before known.
81 learned that Herman Berg, an in
ventor and constructing chemist, who
formerly lived in New York, had been
employed by the Japanese two years
before the outbreak of the war to go
to Japan and take charge of the ord
nance laboratory of the nation. Berg
disappeared from New York mysteri-
ously, keeping his destination recret,
and have since learned that it was he
who invented the liquid air shells for
the Japanese"
Won Bargay says he has made expert
emnts with liquid air shells that bear
out his statements.

Big Ranch Sold for 100000.

The Excelsior ranch, consisting o.
$4,000 acres, in the San Luis valley,
has just been purchased by A. c. Hahn
of South Dakota for 100000. He will
bring settlers from the East to take
up the property.
Mr.. Hahn has also purchased from
the Alamosa Reservoir Company 1000
feet of water from the Commonwealth
ditch. This will supplement the water
rights which already belong to the Ex-
'celsior ranch. The land lies twelve
miles south of Alamosa and eight
miles east and a little north of La
lara.
All of the land in the Uncompahgre
valley under the Gunnison tunnel, has
been taken up. In all there is 10000
acres of government land, and 10000
acres owned by individuals which will
be watered by means of the Gunnison
tunnel. The Denver & Rio Grande'rail.
way. which has beefi advertising the
Uncompahgre valley, is now changing
its literature so that nothing will be
said about the government land under
the Gunnison tunnel project.
