WILL MAKE No TEST
OF NORTHWOOD
CASE
The Minnesota Liquor Inter-
ests Will Wait For a Case
of Broader Scope.
MEANTIME MAY SUE
G. N. EXPRESS co.
Northwood Case Postponed
Until Saturday Morning
Poor Chance For Test.
MEANTIME MAY SUE
G. N. EXPRESS CO.

Contrary to newspaper reports, the
liquor interests of Minnesota do not
propose to make a test case of the
confiscatory provision of North Da-
kota's prohibition law, using as a
basis the recent seizure made at
Northwood, this county.
The Evening Times is informed that
the points at issue in this action and
upon which the state lays great stress,
are not those which the liquor people
wish to try out in the courts of the
state.
Instead, it is now stated as a prob
ability, that the liquor companies
whose stocks were seized from the
Office of the Great Northern Express
company at Northwood. will bring an
action against that company to re-
cover damages in the amount of the
value of the goods so seized.
Attorney George A, Bangs, who has
been engaged by the liquor firms to
handle whatever test case may be
brought, stated to an Evening Times
representative this afternoon that
there was about one chance in ten
that the Northwood suit would be used
as test case and fought through the
courts by his clientage. I'VE are not
altogether satisfied with this North
wood case and notwithstanding the
published statements that the defense
was very anxious to make a fight,
think the state will have clear field.
AS far as our eagerness toward hav-
ing test case is concerned, we are
more than satisfied to wait until we
get case in some other county where
the stipulations will cover exactly
the points at ISSUE"
The Northwood case was to have
come up today but was postponed I'M
til tomorrow.

REPORTS SHOW BUT
SMALL ACREAGE
SEEDED
The Ground Freezes and Very
Little Work in That Line
is Accomplished.

Despite the fact that the farmers
of this state are experiencing very
unfavorable weather for the spring
seeding and that the season is now
three weeks late it has been known
by the pioneers that this does not
necessarily mean scant or e. poor
crop.
On the contrary, fine yields have
been recorded in years when the
seeding was carried over into June.
The Van Dusen-Harrington COM
pany issued the following summary
today:
Seeding has been progressing
slowly during the last week. The
ground freezes every night and per-
mits of seeding during part of each
day, except in the northern third of
North Dakota and the extreme north
western counties Of Minnesota, where
little has been accomplished.
I'm Manitoba not much work has
been done and all observers agree
that the wheat acreage there will be
materially reduced.
Practically all the South Dakota
ground Is seeded and the same Is true
of Minnesota south of Fergus Falls.
The soil in all the territory continues
in excellent condition.
1T is now safe to say that our
spring wheat acreage will be less
than last year. The decrease will be
chiefly in northwestern Minnesota
and North Dakota. though the acre
age is not likely to be equal to last
year at any point.
"All wheat seed now in the ground
appears to be in good condition. 1t
has been carefully examined by diff
ferent investigators and the condition
is satisfactory in every case reported
to u.s."

Lincoln County leader. [volume] (Toledo, Lincoln County, Or.) 1893-1987, 1907-08-30

Citizens of Spokane propose that ad-
Jacent portions Of Idaho, Washington
and Oregon be reassembled into new
State to be called Lincoln. Advocates
of the plan maintain that this division
is the natural one, with respect to the
geographic formation, and also to the
interests and occupations of the people.
Strong opposition comes naturally from
people in parts of the three States not
included in the proposed new state.
The idea is doubly interesting at pres
ent when the feeling for State lines
Is said to be dissolving all over the
country; 1t Indicates that the sense of
the State unit Is very strong, and that
1t is matter of deep Importance to
a man whether he lives in Oregon or

Making Base Bail Bats.

What becomes of all the baseball
bats? is quite like the old inquiry of
What becomes of all the pins?" At
any rate, big factories are running all
the year round, turning out nothing
but bats When one considers the TO-
100000 small boys in this country and
that each one averages four bats dur
ing his early baseball days, the prob
lem is reduced to figures which ac-
count for the demand, says Popular
Mechanics. Bats are no longer whitfield
out of piece. of board, as was done
forty years ago, but are made on ma
chimes which turn out their thousands
daily.
The process is simple but slow. First
the logs are cut into "bolts" Of from
thirty-two inches to forty-two inches
long and the bolts sawed into billets
two and half inches or three inches
square at the ends Three years sea-
soning Is required for the best bats,
either in the log or billet. The kiln
drying process is rapid, but not con-
sidered as good. The billets are placed
in an automatic lathe, which quickly
transforms the stick into the graceful
form of the bat.
The bat is then smoothed and polish
ed by being held against rapidly
moving horizontal belt which Is cover
ed with sand. 1t is then ready for its
coat Of oil, varnish or paint, as the
case may be.

A tramp does not tramp he rides
This Is one Of the facts brought out by
o. f., Lewis of New York in a paper
read by him at the national conference
of charities and correction at Mime
apolis. Railroads are infested by
tramps. The railroad is the victim of
the shortsighted policy Of local magis-
trates, and, in return, not with revenge
full intent but by sort of poetic jus
tice, Is the chief purveyor of tramps to
the towns along its way. A tramp is
arrested for vagrancy. To escape the
cost Of his Imprisonment the court re-
leases him on condition that he leaves
town within twenty-four hours. That
means that he gets on the first freight
train and moves ON to the next town.
AS every town Is engaged in passing its
tramps along the supply is never end
ing. If local authorities were not in
different to the proportions of the
tramp evil and wilfully blind to the
way in which 1t is perpetuated it could
be ended. If every town sent to the
rock pile every vagrant found within
Its borders the trouble would be ended
Immediately, and the expense would be
no greater than that occasioned by the
process of passing tramps along.
Tramps steal as well as beg. They set
fires careiessly and ia revenge. They
cost the town officially, and the citizens
individually, and the heavy burden
placed upon the railroads by trampi
comes upon the community ultimately.
In the first five years Of the century
American railroads killed 1860 passen.
gers, 16,243 employees, and 29,964 tres.
passers on trains or tracks, the major.
ity of the latter being tramps. The
fact that 1000 tramps or some such
number can be killed upon the rail-
roads without diminishing the visible
supply Is a clew to the number of them.
When town Is unwilling to pay. the
hospital expenses of a trespasser who
is injured, but not killed, the railroad
settles the bill, but the public does not
escape. The MANNED man Is thence
forth charge upon the community
either as a beggar or In some public
almshouse. In Europe 1t Is as much
an offense to trespass upon the rail
roads right Of way as 1t Is to break
the law in any other manner. The
magistrates realize that 1t Is for the
public good to keep unauthorized per.
sons from walking upon the tracks or
riding upon trains. America is an easy,
going country, but the time has come
when this problem must be faced and
settled. The tramp costs too much,
considering that he Is not luxury, an
ornament. or necessity.
