DISAPPEARANCE OF YOLA
PEOPLE STILL A MYSTERY
Mrs. Chase and Mr.. Seiforth Have Not Been FoundNo
Clue to Their Whereabouts Discovered by Neighbors
Who Searched Diligently.

Yola, Nov. 6.-(Special to Pho
er.)-The people living near Yola
postoffice Gin Hubbard county,
twenty miles south of BemidjD are
still mystified at the disappearance
of Mrs. Emily Chase and Mr..
William Sieforth, who have been
missing from their homes and of
whom absolutely no trace has ever
been found.
Mrs. Emily Chase, who was about
70 years old, disappeared from her
cabin about June 27. Persistent
search was subsequently made by
the county officials of Hubbard
county and organized posses of
people living in the vicinity of Yola,
but nothing was found to indicate
where the old lady had gone or
whether she had been foully dealt
with. The country in the vicinity
of Mrs. ChaSe's home was covered
with dense underbrush and there is
also large howage where a human

body would speedily sink forever
from view. Many think that the
body of Mrs. Chase is imprisoned
under the floating bog in this flow
age and will never be recovered.
Mr.. Sieforth, who had a home
stead about three miles from Yola,
has not been seen for two months
past. He disappeared from his
home about the First of September,
when he was in the Yola postoffice
the last time.
Nj. Sieforth was about so years
old and lived alone in his cabin.
The belief is prevalent that he
wandered into the woods and per-
ished, and that his body will be re-
covered some day, although many
have searched through the woods
to find some trace of the old man.
The two cases of disappearance in
almost the same locality looks
strange, but there is no positive
proof that there was foul play in
either case.

Logging Contract Cut.

Daniel Petrie of Park Rapids,
sheriff of Hubbard county, who does
considerable logging of timber in
this part of the state, is one of the
contractors who have been affected
by the determination of the Red
River Lumber company not to con-
tinue to cut lumber the coming
winter.
Sheriff Petrie, who was in the
city last evening, stated that he had
a contract to cut four million feet
of logs this winter for the Red
River company and was notified
about week ago that the COM
pany would cancel his entire con-
tract, on account of the determi-
nation of the Red River people to
cut down expenses because of
Strengthened financial conditions.
A few days ago, however, the lum-
Der company notified Mr.. Petrie that
he would be given a contract to
cut one million feet on the Akeley-
Lake George railway, about twenty
miles north of Park Rapids.
Mr.. Petrie will at once build
camps and be in readiness to log as
soon as the season opens.
Mr.. Petrie left this morning for
the town of lockwood, fifteen miles
south of Bemidji,in Hubbard county
in company with G. E. Crocker,
manager for the Grand Forks Lum-
Der company, to whom he will sell
a logging outfit, which he has
there.

St. Paul.

The lawful season for netting
whitefsh opens November 1Oth( next
Sunday) and as many have asked
concerning the provisions of the law
as to netting, we herewith reproduce
that section of the game law that
covers the matter referred to:
In all of the inland lakes in
this state, permission having been
granted therefor, but not otherwise,
a net may be used for the purpose

Any person desiring to use any
such net shall first make application
for permit therefor to the commits.

but no person shall be permitted to
use more than two CD of such nets,
and such fish shall not be sold or

There is another provision of the
law relative to the storing of game,
which it might be we'll for everyone
to read.

age of any game bird or game ami
NAL, or any part thereof. in any
cold storage plant is hereby pro-
hibited ond made unlawful"

Hurt Playing ''shinney."

While DR.. Blakeslee was at Ten
strike last evening, he was called
upon to attend to the injured hand
of Guy Brant, who was injured while
he was participating in a strenuous
game of shinney." One of the
ardent participants in the shinney"
game hit young Brant a vicious
swipe on the back of the hand, with
the result that two of the knuckles
were driven nearly through the
hand. Young Brant will be laid up
for few days. The parents of the
young "shinney" players at Ten
strike have been very busy since
yesterday burning :" "shinney" sticks.

Pittsburg, Nov. 6.-This city is prac.
tically doing business with checks.
Payments in cash are scarce, thou.

every section of Allegheny county the

Warning has been made to all persons

The excellent manner in which the

A LARGE sum IS BEING
EXPENDED FOR DRAINAGE
State Engineer Ralph Says So, 900, 900
Will Have Been Used for Drainage,
by January1.

Crookston Times: Before next
year closes the state will have ex-
pended s3,0OO,OOO in irrigation or
ditching problems, according to
State Engineer Ralph.
Next year will be the banner
year for the digging of irrigation
bitches in this state," said Mr..
Ralph. There have been a large
number of contracts let this season
for bitches which will be completed
next year. When a big ditch is
planned it takes some time to go
through the preliminary proceedings,
such as making the surveys, holding
the hearings and apportioning the
the costs on the land, so that the
work of digging is usually extended
over into the following year.
The counties are now planning
large number of bitches. We
hear a new ditch talked of nearly
every day."
Within the next two months con-
tracts will be let for two large state
bitches having an aggregate length
of about 100 miles. These bitches
will be dug in St Louis, Itasca,
Koochiching and Beltrami counties.
When completed they will drain
about 200 miles of swampy land,
transforming it into rich farm land.
The largest of these bitches will be
that from Little Fork to Rainy
river.
Through the arrangement which
is now in force, the good roads move
ment is going hand in hand with
the drainage movement in Northern
Minnesota. All of the state drain
age bitches are being dug with
roads paralleling them, the dirt taken
from the bitches furnishing material
for the roads. This can be done
easily, as the bitches in the main
follow section lines and the roads
can be built at very small expense.

MAKING PICTURE POST CARDS

The picture postal craze has captur- ed the whole world No spot is too lunattractive from an artistic or senti- mental point of view to claim the hon. or of pictorial representation on the penny postal souvenir, no land so bar barous as to have remained untouched by this latest fad. People who have ,repulsed the missionary welcome the picture postal man.
 Great companies have grown up in the souvenir post card business. and even a trust is whispered of. But in scarcely any other field which has been developed t9 the same extent by large corporations is it possible for the am ateur and the small investor to make larger profits on the time and labor expended. There is money in the pie ture postal card business for every one who can snap a pocket camera.

 That set me thinking For years I have had the amateur protOgraphing craze. All of my spare cash in years gone by has gone for cameras and sup plies. But until a few months ago my fad never brought me in a cent of in- come. I decided to try my hand at photographic postal cards.

This was the Forty-second of the line-then known as Sempilrs Highlanders, and now as the Black Watch"-the fam ous Forty Twa'." After Fontenoy, which was in the '45. the Forty-second was hurried home, and a portion of it was ranged against the clans at Cul- loden. As Fontenoy practically saw the last of the Irish brigade, though it continued to fight for the French for some years later. so it may also be considered as the birthplace of the Highland brigade. whose first regiment here received its baptism of fire-and one of an excessively hot kind.

THE HUMAN EYE.

Quit using your eyes as if you were a chicken. Some poet very prettily said the eye is the window Of the soul. He. of course, did not know where the soul is situated, but
 Ut is the poets pen that gives to airy nothing a local habitation and name"
 The chickens eyes are on opposite sides of flat head. and like the eyes of some fishes are flat instead Of round or oval. having absolutely nOth- ing in common. When the chicken looks at the sky it turns its head to one side, seeing up above with only one optic. while the other watches the ground.
 The almost universal habit of turn ing the head in whichever direction you look deprives the eye of the exer- else to which it is entitled. The law of vision is such that. when your eyes are set straight to the front. you can see in almost every direction except behind your head. Every now and then you see a woman with eyes that seem to roll in their sockets. taking in everything without a suggestion of head movement. Those eyes are the eyes that drive men to distraction. OK eyes. Honest eyes. Usually brown eyes. Open eyes. Although different from the small ferrit eyes of the detective, which pretend to be looking at the ground. yet see side wise out of both slits.
 Sight is Gods best gift to man. The other senses amount to nothing in comparison. We get along very well without taste. smell. hearing. feeling; bnt when the eyes are dead the soul has no window. The light of life is gone. Exercise your eyes. Hold your heod still. as if in a wise. or one of the steel crotches of the old-fash toned photographer (when it took three minutes to take a picture). and roll your optics around. Look in every direction-up, down. to the right to the left and every style of the ob Ilique-without moving the head. All the nerves. veins and arteries will be strengthened. The muscles will be improved a thousand fold. The lach rymal glands will be excited suffic- iently to wash the ball perfectly. and seeing will be delight. 6oodby to glasses.
 Get on the housetop once a week and spend an hour looking at magnif- icent distances. The trouble with all of us city folk is that we never see be- yond our noses. Possibly a few shrewd fellows sharpen their glances across the street; but you can num- Der them on the tips of your fingers. They are grafters. Look into the eyes of the commonest sailor. It seems million miles deep. Take Captain Watts. of the Lusitania, his eyes are wells as deep as the ocean. as high as the sky. Take a policeman on long beat who wants to be promot- ed by General Bingham. His eyes are glorious. And Bingham can scarcely l see across his desk.
