HERD 1000 SHEEP WILL
Be FATTENED NEAR NARY
Six Sections Of Farm Land, Enclosed
by Twelve Miles of Wire,
Is the Pasture.

A large herd of sheep, num-
bering over 1000, will be fattened
near the village of Nary, nine
miles south Of Bemidji, during
the coming spring and summer,
and put in condition for the
market, before being shipped to
the twin cities in the fall.
William Hubbard of Mankato
owns six sections of land lying
within a radius of three miles OF
Nary, and he began the expert
ment last spring Of putting
sheep on the partially cleared
portions of the land, with the re-
suit that the scrub and brush
was cleaned and the sheep fat
tened rapidly and we're in prime
condition in the fall.
There were $500 sheep on the
land last year. They were put
in two bands Of 5000 each, and
one of 500. There is twelve
miles of woven wire fence that
surrounds the pasture, which
makes an ideal place for the
sheep.
This year the number of sheep
will be 1000, and they will be
brought to Nary as early as
possible.

Building of Road South From Interna.
tionaI Falls Being Rushed
to Completion.
THOUGHT THE ROADBED WILL BE
READY FOR STEEL BY MARCH 20.
The Work in the Muskeag SWamps
Will Be Completed Before .
Spring Thaw.

international Falls, Feb. 28.-
Paul Northby, superintendent
for the contractors on the M. u
I. extension. was in town this
week arranging with Pat Lynch
for the hauling of lum Der with
which to build camps between
here and the muskeag. Three
Nos. 10, II and 12-have been
completed in the moskeag and
are now partly filed with men
who are grading, d,tching aud
doing other necessary work. No.
l3 is being built on the ~NE4 NW4
21,7O24, which is part of the
homestead of John Emerson.
This is where the line leaves the
moskeag, it following the same
from. 1923 through 6 in 1923 and
up to the Emerson place. Camp
13 is to be a big one, one of the
buildings being as large as 24x46,
and Ole Aune, the Littlefork car
penter who has charge of the
work, expects to have buildings
ready inside of ten days. This
camp is three miles and half
south of town but another is to
be built close in which will &C.
commodate at least one hundred
men, and is to be built as soon
as 13 is completed.
The stages and toters now use
the team road along the right Of
way, across the muskeag, and
Supt. Northby hopes to have a
road opened for the intervening
distance within a few weeks.
Some eight miles of the grade
between the Big and Little Fork
rivers is now completed, and it
is thought that by the Goth of
March the roadbed between Big
Falls and Littlefork will be ready
for the steel. AS the work is
finished on the west of the Little
Fork, the men will be added tc
the force now working this side
of the river. Everything is NOV.
ing along nicely and passengers
between here and Big Falls ar
rive in town filed with enthusi-
asm over the prospects of early
completion Of the road. This
happy condition is due largely to
the fact that the contractors are
frst-class men in the business,
and in a cOnsiderabl measure tC
the hus tling qualities Of their
superintendent. Mr.. Northby is
an OLD Gl mcr at the business anO
is a general contractor. His line
of work is prairie railroad grad
ing, for the doing of which he
has a splendid outfit of graders
etc. 1t is for the reason that he
cannot do his work in tbs
winter that Dempsey & Dough
erty are able to command hi:
services now. It may prove to be
some later than the 45El of July
before trains are operating ove1
the line, but if it is, it won't bt
due in any measure to lack O
hustle and executive ability OF
the part Of Mr.. Northby.

ATTITUDE OF CASS LAKE
MAY KILL ALL BILLS
The "RuIe or Ruin" Policy of Our
Neighbors Detrimental to
Normal School.

The attitude of the Cass Lake
people, in insisting that the pro-
posed state normal school be
located at Cass Lake or nowhere,
will possibly result in the killing
Of all the bills that were before
the legislature, thus, defeating
the establishing of any school;
deplorable result. The Cass
Lake people have eased their
conscience for their "dog-in-the
manger" attitude by accusing
he other towns that are in the
contest of "butting-in.' The
fact that i5emidji started this
movement some four years ago,
when w. +. Street was alive,
and that two years ago a bill was
introduced by Senator Swed back
Of Bemidji which had for it's ulti-
mate end the location of normal
school in Bemidji, does not tit
we'll with the ''it's mine, [ saw it
first" policy of our neighbors
over east. If the legislature kills
all bills, and no school is estab-
lishcd, the Cass Lake folks can
blame no one but themselves, as
they agreed TO abide by a general
bill, and later backed out.
M. u. StOner returned last
evening from St. Paul, where he
has been on business for a week.
In conjunction with several other
people who have been in the
SANITY city, be states that the
Bemidji delegation which has
been lobbying in the interests of
the proposed state normal school
has been doing excellent work,
leaving no stone unturned to
further the interests of this city.
P. j. Russell returned last
evening, and he also says that
the Bemidji represen tatives have
done great work, with fairness
to all concerned.

Rev. E. K. Copper, Presiding Elder
Brainerd District M. e. Church
Here Last Night.
HELD QUARTERLY CONFERENCE IN
LOCAL CHURCH LAST EVENING
Has Organized Methodist Church So.
cieties at International Falls,
LlttIefork and Walker.

The second quarterly confer
ence of the Bemidji Methodist
society was held at the church
last evening, and the occasion
was made a noteworthy one on
account of the presence of the
Rev. b <. Cooper, presiding ell
der of this (the Brainerd) dis.
trict Of the denomination.
Rev. Cooper delivered a fine
sermon, there being fair-sized
audience, which would undou bt.
edly have been much larger but
for the inclement weather.
At the conclusion of the SER
mon, reports were read from
the various officers of the diff.
ferent organizations Of the
church, including the Sabbath
school, all of which we're very
fattering. These reports showed
that there had been much in
creased interest in the workings
OF the church; there had been
larger congregations than ever
before and the interest shown
has been enthusiastic. with most
excellent results. The presiding
elder complimented the church
highly for the showing that was
made and paid a particularly
handsome compliment to the
pastor, the Rev. Isaac Peart.
Rev. Copper, the presiding
felder of the Brainerd district.
told the writer of the work that
is being done in the north
country toward advancing Meth
odism. Mr.. Copper spent last
Sunday at International Falls
and was much gratifed ct the
interest that was awakened
there. He established a board of
trustees, consisting of seven
members. Five lots have been
donated to the church society
there, the property being consid.
cred we'll worth 800. Arrange
ments are also being perfected
for the building of handsome
editice at International Falls.
Rev. Copper also visited Little
fork, where much interest was
shown, and he has every reason
to believe that property will also
be donated for church location
in that village.
An M. 3 church association
has but recently been cstab-
lished at Walker, and four fine
lots in the heart of that vii
lage have been purchased for
the society. Rev. K. B. Alex
ander of Ohio has been appointed
pastor at Walker, and until the
arrival of that gentleman, the
pulpit will be supplied by Rev.
Copper.
The spresiding elder is much
gratihed at the progress being
made in the district under his
jurisdiction.

MAKE FIRST sHIPMENT

The first car load of automobiles
made at the plant of the Earl Motor
Car company were shipped from Ke-
nosha on Saturday and they were
billed for the Pacific coast. The cars
are intended for Lee Richardson, the
western distributor of the company
and all Of them have already been
sold. Richardson who is to act as the
western agent for the company is
widely known in Kenosha as a trick
bicycle rider and for years he carried
the co1ors ofsthe Sterling Bicycle com
pany. Richardson has been in the
automobile business since it's incep-
ton and it is stated at the plant that
he has placed an order for ten car
loads of the Earl cars. The company
is now working large force of men
in order to get out these orders and
others for other parts of the country.

TO RUN FAST TRAINS
c. & N. to Make the Distance
Between Chicago and Mil
Waukee in Two Hours
INTO CHICAGO BY JANUARY

Two-hour service from Evanston to
Milwaukee is being planned, accord
ing to presentat ives of the Chicago
and Milwaukee Electric railway. The
company is straining every effort to
complete the Racine ex-
tension by December.
In order to accommodate the heavier
business which will fall on the old
St. Paul right of way north of Davis
street, Evanston, by the operation
over it of the traffic of both the Chi
cago and Milwaukee Electric and the
Northwestern Elevated up to the
Wilmette line, two additional tracks
are to be added. The work is now
under way and by the time the electri-
fication of the lower right of way has
been completed this section will be
ready to accommodate trains on four
tracks.
This will enable the Northwestern
Elevated to do its switching and re-
laying of trains at the northern termi-
nal without interfering with the
Milwaukee Electric.
The latter line is breaking in the
coaches which are to be used IN the
Evasion Milwaukee express service
They have been built specially for
high speed.
It has been found that the cars will
maintain a speed of sixty or sixty.
five mites an hour without difficulty
They have been built on lines laid
down by the company's engineers,
being higher and narrower than the
ordinary long interurban coaches.
They can thus be operated on the
streets in Milwaukee, where the inter-
track space is small.
A large number of changes have
been completed in the tracks during
this season. Curves have been
Strengthened by the purchase of cor
ners of property and wherever posi-
Bile the tracks have been placed above
or below grade through the cities and
villages. All of the new tracks have
been laid with the heaviest of rails
and ba1lasted with crushed stone or
gravel.
When the Northwestern Elevated
connection is completed to Church
street, Evanston, early in the year,
some of the through Milwaukee cars
will be operated as far south as Will
son avenue.

Do NOT DISCOUNT YOUR PAY CHICKS.
They are good at par for any
ordinary business transaction in al
most any store in Kenosha or for de-
posit at the bank. We wish that we
could post that warning in every
one of the dozens of different Ian
guages and dialects spoken in Keno
sha for we understand that some of
the human vultures that prey on the
unfortunate and ignorant are taking
advantage of many of the foreigners
and discounting their checks for cash,
taking in some cases as high as 20 per
cent for making the exchange. It is
heaven sent opportunity for these
sharks, but it is the duty of every man
who can make himself understood by
any of the foreigners to block their
game by explaining the value of these
certificates to the workingmen who
are receiving them. Do not discount
your own checks or let other people
discount them if you can help it.

1t is claimed that Special Officer
Starr was standing within a few
yards of one of the men when he was
assaulted but no arrests were made.
The men under arrest are Jews and
they had been employed at the plant
before the beginning of the present
trouble. They had boarded at the
same house as some of the men as
saulted and their arrest was made on
the statements made by the assaulted
men.
No steps were taken Friday morn
ing to place other officials in charge
of the protection of the plant, but
Sheriff Pfennig seems to be in charge
of the entire matter just at present.
It is said that the managers of the
company are considering other steps
for the protection of the plant, but
these steps are still being arranged by
the attorneys and they will not be
made public until final action is taken
in court.

THE whole West possesses all the
factors of business prosperity. 1t has
participated in no reckless specula-
ton. 1t has built up no great super
structure of credit, which might come
tumbling down about it's ears at any
moment. 1t is standing on ground
of production beyond it's own needs.
Thus it occupies the place of a credit
or, and it is the East and not the
West which must face the problem

THERE seems to be disposition in
certain quarters to question the right
of the County Board to elect one of
its own members to Office while he
continues to serve on the Board, but
the opinion of the district attorney
that Mr.. Hensgen had right to serve
as county agent appeared to settle the
matter as far as the board is con-
cerned and he was elected by big
majority. The right to challenge the
opinion of the attorney and test the
matter in any way he may choose is
of course reserved to any taxpayer.
The fitness of Mr.. Hensgen for the
position can hardly be questioned on
any other ground than that of his
membership on the Board, for he has
made an able and conscientious Off
cia1. The business Of the county
agents office was most economically
managed during his last term and
the majority of the members of the
Board are entirely satisfied with his
work.

BOX CARS BURNED
Railway Company Sustains Heavy Loss
on Flats West of the City

Railway Company Sustains Heavy Loss
on Flats West of the City
The Northwestern Railway Co. sus-
tanned heavy property loss at mid
night Thursday night when four box
cars owned by the company were
burned on the switch tracks on the
flats just west of the city. One of the
cars was loaded with lumber, another
with coal, and the other two were
empty. The loss to the company is
said to be more than $4,000. The fire
was discovered just before midnight
and it is thought that the cars were
set on fire by tramps who had been
denied the right of sleeping in the
empty cars. The cars had been on
the tracks for some time and it is GER
tain that the fire did not start from
hot boxes in the cars.
The flames were discovered by peo-
pie residing in the neighborhood and
the city fire department was called.
One of the wagons and Chief Gser-
mann went out, but it was found that
it was impossible for the department
to do anything to save the cars. Later
a switch engine was sent out and the
burning cars were pulled away from
other cars standing on the track. The
detectives of the company were in the
city Friday making an effort to find
some trace of the guilty parties.

THEY may not realize it as yet but
in fighting the payment of license
money which great majority of the
voters honestly believe is due the
treasury of the city the brewers are
creating a sentiment among all
classes that will eventually react up
on them in much more important
matters than the surrender of small
percentage of their profits. The big
men of the business have read the
signs of the times and by every means
in their power are endeavoring to
placate public opinion but the little
fellows have not noticed that the
prohibition wave that has made the
whole South "dry" territory is speed
ing northward.

ALIENS GOING HOME
Foreigners Take Advantage of Poor
Labor Conditions and Leave
for European Homes
MOST OF THEM WILL RETURN

On account of the present labor con-
beens living in Kenosha for the past
three or four and, in some cases, ten
years are planning to leave for their
homes in European countries and it is
expected that within the next two
weeks no less than three hundred
foreigners will leave Kenosha for
foreign lands. Dealers in steamship
tickets report that more than fifty
tickets have been sold for the boats
leaving the first part of December
and hundreds of others have made
applica lions for rates. Most of the
passengers are going to the Slav
countries and to Italy while there are
a few going to Austria and still
more limited number to Russia. It
is claimed that the men fear that they
will soon be out of work and
have decided to take their savings
and make their long deferred trips to
the father1and. The railway COM
panies running trains between Chica-
go and New York are now running
specials for the foreigners and on
these Grains rate of $40 for the trip
is being made. The steamship COM
panies are also making low rates and
it is claimed that it is all but impos-
sible to take care of the men on the
second class boats.
Thirty aliens left Kenosha on
Thursday for New York and another
large party will leave week from to-
day and smaller parties are planning
to leave up to the 18th of December.
All of these parties are planning to
spend the Christmas holidays at their
old homes in Europe. Most of the
men are planning to return to Ke-
nosha and many of them have left
their wives and children here. It is
expected that they will return in the
spring when business conditions are
expected to be a great deal better.

THE action of the Board of Super.
visors in electing ]. E. Dalton to the
Office of Supervisor of Assessments
meets with unqualified approval.
wherever the new official is known in
the county. He has had considerable
experience in assessment work and
has gained good knowledge of real
estate values, but more than this his
character and reputation are such
that it is believed that he can be de-
pended upon to do his duty without
fear or favor. Much has been gained
IN the last two years towards more
equitable assessment but much re-
mains to be done and all the progress
made can be lost in single assess
ment by the action of weak kneed or
dishonest assessors. It is believed,
however, that the new supervisor can
be depended upor to carry forward
the work SO we'll begun by the first
supervisor, w. H. Harrison.
