The Grand Forks Evening Press IS
working overtime trying TO make out
that Senator Hansbrough is against
Roosevelt, though his secretary, MIR.
Loeb hands out letter in which he
states that Senator Hansbrough has
been one whom he could depend ON 70
back him up in his administration.
This ought to satisfy the Press. But
then it is hard to satisfy some people.
We have not always agreed with
lIansbrough, but we believe in being
fair. and il the Press wants u rake
him over let them stand by the truth
and not beat around the bush. I'd

GREAT NORTHERN Will BUILD
MACHINE SHOP AT WlLLhIAR
Extensive Improvements will Be Made in the
ROundhOuSe at This Place.

ern railroad has direct interest in
seeing Willmar grow, for it adds
to the business of the road. An
other important item is the ground,
which can be purchased here at a
reasonable price, but which is very
expensive when necessary to en-
large the grounds at St. Paul. 1t
is understood that the company is
securing options on large tracts
west of the city, possibly with the
idea in view Of securing a site for
future car shops. +
. The erection of the new stock
yards has been delayed by the COM
pany because Of the packing plant
proposition. The company has
plans for very elaborate stock yards
here, which would long ago have
been built had not the packing
plant proposition come up, as the
location of the latter would have a
bearing on the proper location of
the stock yards. Mr.. D. N. Tall
man, who has been doing the pre-
]iminary business for the railroad
company, states that he expects a
letter from the packing company
very soon which may determine
where the stock yards will be To-
Gated.

Grundy county, ILL.,, Dec. 27, 1864.
George spent the first nine years
of his life in Illinois, when he
moved with his parents to South
Dakota, where he attended the COM
mon schools, and also learned from
experience to perform the practical
work of country life. In 1884, be-
fore yet twenty years old he secured
employment as teamster for the St.
Croix Lumber Co. at Canton, S. D.,
and in the following year was made
manager of this company's yards in
Eden, now Hudson, S. D. In the
years 1886 and 1887 he conducted a
farm near Memo, S. D., but re-
turned to the lumber business, TAX

The Great Northern railroad CON-
pany has purchased tract of land
from Olaf Ferring, west of the
roundhouse extending along Litch-
field avenue to Gay street, includ
ing about three and one half acres.
Extensive improvements are plan
ned at the roundhouse. A locom-
tive machine shop, 50x150 feet, will
be built and the outside wall of the
roundhouse will be moved out six
teen feet so as to admit larger sized
engines to the stalls. A new 100
foot turntable to be run by COM
pressed air will take the place of
the one now in use. The locomo-
tive repair shop will be such that
an engine can be overhauled here
without being taken to St. Paul.
It will give employment to from
fifteen to twenty men.
1t is quite generally understood
that this movement is the begin
ming of greater things to come and
that eventually Willmar will have
extensive machine and car shops.
Most of the rolling stock to be
repaired comes from the west and
hauling it to St. Paul and back is a
waste of time and a needless ex-
pense. Besides, the Great North

BUCKET SHOP CLOSED
The Wisconsin Stock & Grain Co.
and lis Methods of Business
To Be Investigated.
WIRES TORN OUT AT WILLMAR

The Wisconsin Stock & Grain
Co., the successor of the Edwards,
Wood & Co., in the bucketshop
business, has got into trouble. On
the petition of one of their clients,
who had lost $4,000 in dealing
thru the firm, Judge Lochren has
appointed a receiver for the COM
pany, and their affairs will very
likely be thoroly examined. The
complaint charges that the firm has
been doing business purely on
bucketshop basis, only making
pretense of buying and selling Of
stocks and that in so doing they
charged commission and interest
on purely fictitious transactions.
In an examination of the same con-
Germ before Commissioner Spencer
the other day, an old employe of
the firm told how, by order of the
firm, he had "held up" quotations
on stocks, in one instance selling
Great Northern stock at 2O6 some
time after it. had dropped to 200,
thus beating the patron out of six
cents on each dollars worth of
shares at par value. Moral: don't
play the other fellows game; they
are not in the business for their
health. If you wish to buy stock
do so outright, and from a firm that
will deliver the goods. Buying
on margins from these speculative
concerns is nothing but betting 49,
with the chances all in favor of the
fellow that controls the wires.
The local bucket shop was closed
last Saturday. The Northwestern
Telephone Co. pulled out their
wires Saturday and, in response to
orders, Agent De La Hunt pulled
out the Western Union wires last
Monday. The action of the United
States court in closing up this con-
Germ saved the local authorities the
trouble of proceeding against the
local branch under the ordinance
passed some time ago.

Lumber Co. About. two months
ago he took charge Of the confec-
tionery business in the Mardin

On Oct. 81, 1888, Mr.. Holt was

Hagge. Seven children have been
born to Mr.. and Mrs. Holt-May-
belle, Amman, Stella, Esther, Nellie,
Alma and Ruth, all of whom sur

Mr.. Holt was an upright and
public spirited citizen and the loss
is a serious one to the community.
The bereaved family have the heart

tion.
