ask the legislature at it's next session
to enact such regulations as will pre-
vent the giving of short weights in
the sale of butter. Frequent cases
of short weight are found, but under
the present laws considerable diff
Guilty is experienced in prosecuting
the offenders.
During the past few days Inspec-
tor J. G.. Fowler of the dairy and
food department, has found num-
Der of cases in which short weights
have been given in the sale of butter.
This is true of jar butter as we'll as
prints. In fact, it has been found
that in majority of cases the pound
prints are less than one pound in
weight. The greatest imposition
upon the public is found in butter
sold in jars, in many cases the pur-
chaser buying what is represented to
be fve-pound jar finds himself
short half a pound.
Out of few reports of inspec tors
picked out at random, it was found
that the weight of the butter sold
in jars as five pounds, ranged from
four pounds and six ounces to four
pounds and fifteen ounces. Many
of the reports showed the jars to
be short six, seven and eight
ounces.
1t is probable that the legislature
will be asked to pass a law
requiring the marking of the
weight on all packages of but
ter, whether In jars or prints,
so that when shortage is dis.
covered the prosecution of the seller
will be an easy matter. If the
dealers are required to mark the
weight on each package, it is be.
lieved the difficulties in the prose
cution of dealers giving short weight
in butter sales will be overcome
and the prevalence of this form o1
fraud quickly stamped out. St

CARPENTER BEAT LEBEAU
FOR THE CHAMPIONSHIP
The Crookson Skater Proved His Superiority Small
Rink, Over the Head of the Lakes Champion.
Time for Mile Was Fast.

Harry Carpenter of Crookston,
who recently defeated Joe Munich of
Minneapolis (the roller skating
champion of the northwest in a
series of races at Crookston, Thurs
day night defeated Francis LeBeau
of Duluth, champion of the head of
the lakes, in the final race of series
of three one-mile races for the
championship of the state.
The three races were skated in
the Grand Opera House rink in this
city, LeBeau winning Tues d a y
nights race, Carpenter getting We'd
nesday nights race, and cinching the
series by coming in first in last
nights contest.
AS a foul had been claimed IN the
race skated Thursday night, it was
decided to have the skaters start
from opposite sides Of the rink.
When the pistol was fired starting
the race, Carpenter, as usual, dashed
to the front. Both skaters got down
to fast work Immediately, but Car

Mystery Cleared Up.

The mystery surrounding the dis
appearance of Mike O'Donnell Of
this city, who left a hotel in this
city two weeks ago to go to the NJ.
r. L. & M. roundhouse, with the
intention of at once returning to the
hotel, and who has not been seen
since, has been cleared up.
O'Donnell's whereabouts were
ascertained this morning when word
was received from him to the effect
that he was now at Blackduck work
ing in one of the logging camps
near there.
s At the time O'Donnell disappeared
from the hotel he had considerable
money on his person., as he left alb
solutely no information as to where
he was going, or what he intended
to do providing he did not return,
| 5fS
there was considerable apprehension
as to his welfare, and it was sug-
.gested that he might have met with
foul play.
8 O'Donnell clears up the entire
matter by stating in the letter that
while he was on his way to the
|roundhouse he hired out to work at
Blackduck and, as he had but few
minutes to spare to catch the
train, he left for the Duck"
without sending word to his hotel,
O'Donnell also stated that the
other party, who disappeared at the
same time he did, went to Grand
I Forks and is now in that city.

Delaney Got Fifteen Months.

That mistakes will happen in
the best of regulated families"
applies with equal force to the news
paper fraternity as to the rest of
mankind, as was exempljfed in the
account in the Pioneer of the
sentence of one Frank Delaney to
serve term in the state penitentiary
at Saltwater for having stolen a rifle
at Solway.
We unintentionally erred in this
matter, occurring in the reading of
the proof of the matter.
Delaney plead guilty to the
charge and was sentenced to serve
fifteen months in the state peni-
tentiary at Saltwater as punishment
for his crime, instead of two months,
as we stated in the Pioneer.
The error was, of course, uninten.
tional, but caused considerable com.
ment, as sentence of two months
in the pen" would hardly be
worth while.

ing the short corners, and he began
to gradually creep up on LeBeau.
At the end of the seventh lap
Carpenter had gained about twenty
five feet on his opponent, and he
increased his speed. He kept up
his good work, never missing his
stride, and at the end of the twentieth
lap he had caught LeBeau, and was
half a lap to the good.
When the pistol was fired for the
last lap, Carpenter spurted and
passed LeBeau, crossing his line at
the end of the mile half lap
and three feet ahead of LeBeau.
The time for the mile was SIS,
which is considered exceedingly
good for a twenty-five lap rink.
At the close of the race, LeBeau
stated that he was not accustomed
to so small rink, but believed he
could defeat Carpenter in series of
races on the roller rink at Duluth,
which is much larger than the one
here.
The races were all exciting and
we're skated on the square.

Decrease in Attendance.

Removal to other states, race sui
eide, bad roads and scarcity of farm
help are some of the reasons assigned
by county superintendents for the
decrease in the public school enroll
ment of the state. There is falling
off of nearly 5000 in the attendance
this year.
Superindents in every county in
the state were asked by ]. w. Olson
state superintendent of instruction
to explain and replies have been
received in nearly every case. Most
of them place the blame on emigra-
ton to other states and to Canada.
Many say the scarcity of farm labor
compels the keeping of the children
at home. Several say race sucicide
is reponsible.
The second generation of farm
ers, they say, have few if any child
rem. One superintendent in writing,
lays the blame on the failure to en-
force the compulsory education laws.
Bad roads according to some of
the superintendents, are quite fac
tor.
Another says the removal of
saw mill from his district we'll
nigh depopulated schools under his
charge. But while there is de-
crease in the public school attend
ance, the superinten dents say there
is a decided increase in the enroll
ment at the colleges and normal
schools. Students, they say, are
attending these institutions at an
earlier age than they formerly did.
