PEAT BEDS TO Be UTILIZED
Cincinnati Expert Now Making
Tests in Nicollet County.
II Satisfactory, Plant Will be Built
by st. Peter Men.
Boys Near Oshawa Thought to Of
fer Greatest Encouragement.

Peat bricks, regarded in many quar-
tiers as the coming fuel of the North
west, may be manufactured in Nicollet
county if the plans of number of ST.
Peter capitalists mature. They are
interesting themselves in the project
and have engaged an expert, Bernard
G. Sitz, of Cincinnati, to analyze
samples of peat taken from marshes
near that city. If it can be shown
that the peat is good quality they in
tend to organize accompany with home
capital, erect a factory and develop
the boys.
Nicollet county peat deposits are
regarded as among the richest in the
state. They are found principally
near Swan and Timber lakes, and ex-
tend over several hundred acres. The
peat in them is from ten to twelve feet
in depth, and It IS claimed that the
supply is practically inexhaustible.
There is smaller bog near ST. Peter,
but the peat is not of as good quality
as that taken from the marshes near
Oshawa, from the fact that the bog
once formed the bed of the Minnesota
river and that the formation contains
quite heavy percentage of sand.
About a year ago eastern investors
secured an option on the bog and it
was at that time that the ST. Peter
men sent a specimen of the peat to
Mr.. Sitz, who was formerly connected
with peat company at Willmar.
His test revealed the fact that the St.
Peter peat is not lacking in conclusive
properties and will burn readily, but
the sand in the deposit causes it to
show an undue proportion of ash.
1t is in the hope of finding a better
grade of material that Mr.. Sitz has
come to St. Peter. He will make furth-
er soundings of the bog and, in the
event of his being unsuccessful, will
visit the marshes near Oshawa.
Should the tests prove satisfactory
the peat will be manufactured by
what is known as the ''wet" process.
It will be taken out of the bog with a
dredge, loaded into scows and towed
along canals to the factory, and there
pressed into the form of bricks with
powerful machines. It is estimated
that the expense of equipping the
plant, including the cost of the land,
willn exceed $4,000 or $4,000, and
it would have a capacity of fifty or

RECOUNT SHOWS ERRORS
Senator Laybourn Tells Of Mis-
takes in Canvassing the Vote
on Amendments.

Senator Laybourn, of Duluth, gave
some interesting information Tuesday
afternoon on the situation in Duluth in
respect to the test recount of ballots
on the late proposed constitutional
amendments, providing for state good
roads, open taxation and peddlers
licenses as relating to the right of
farmers to peddle their own products.
Upon the canvass OF the votes on
these amendments the peddlers and
taxation amendments were reported
carried, and the good roads amend
ment lost. by some 800 votes, a narrow
margin. Friends of the good roads
measure made the claim that the good
roads amendment had, in fact, carried;
that a grave error had crept into the
returns because of the fact that the
order of the amendments as printed
on the tally sheets was different from
the order as printed on the ballots.
The order on the ballot was good
roads, taxation and peddlers license.
On the tally sheets taxation, good
roads, peddlers license.
A movement was begun to have re-
count of the entire state as to these
amendments, but first test recount
was made of the district of Duluth,
453 precincts, with the idea of ascer-
tanning if there was any probable
cause" for the general recount.
This preliminary Or test recount was
made by a commission appointed by
the court, and at the head of the COM
mission was George Somerhy who now
reports the result of the labors of the
commission.
It is found that in the Duluth district
the good roads measure was carried
by l, 480 ballots and that the taxation
! amendment was lost by 1859. This re-
suit, as Mr.. Laybourn says, obtained
in only one district, seems to indicate
that the good roads amendment was
overwhelmingly adopted. and that it
suffered in the Official vote and canvass
| by being transposed on the tally sheet
with the taxation amendment,
There is now pending in the house
bill by W. L. Case, of Clo4uet, asking,
a recount of the state on the amend
ments.

SECTION FOREMAN KILLED
Collision Between Freight Train
and Hand Car Ends Life OF
Chas. Brandt.
Terrible Accident Occurred at En-.
trance to Fritsche Ravine.
Martin Willinger, Another Section
Hand, Also Seriously Injured.

Shortly before eight o'clock Friday
morning Chas. Brandt, the Minneapo-
lis & St. Louis section foreman, and
Martin Willinger, one of his men,
started north on hand car to do
some work in the Fritsche ravine.
They got as far as the entrance to the
ravine. Here the road makes sharp
curve and they could not see freight
train tearing down the grade to meet
them. Neither could they hear any
thing, as their caps were pulled down
over their ears on account of the cold.
In an instant there was a collision
and car and men were hurled many
feet from the track.
Brandt was injured internally and
had both Of his legs broken. He died
two hours after he was taken to the
hospital.
Willinger sustained ugly wounds
about the head, but will recover.
Mr.. Brandt had been in the employ
of the Minneapolis & ST. Louis road
in this city for over fourteen years
and previous TO that time had worked
for the Northwestern. Married in 1884
to Minnie Schultz he raised family
of seven children, all of whom survive
him.
He was born in Mecklenburg, Ger
many, forty-seven years ago and came
to America twenty-five years ago.
The funeral was held from the Con
gregational church Monday afternoon,
the local lodge of Workmen being in
attendance.

manufacture is placed at 81 a ton, and
the product would sell for s. or IS in
the open market.
Five st. Peter men stand ready to
furnish the money needed. as soon
as Mr.. Sitz can demonstrate that the
marshes will produce marketable
commodity.

Judging from these testimonials the
New Ulm plant evidently has a great
future.

MEETS WITH SAD FATE in SENATE
Peterson's Resolution Eulosizins
McCIeary Not Overly Popular.

Sam Peterson's resolution endors-
ing Congressman McCleary met with
sad fate when it came up for passage
in the senate. The resolution is re-
ferred to in the proceedings of the sem
ate as follows:
ssThere was a suggestion OF cruelty
to animals in the disposition of the
house resolution eulogizing the stand
pat attitude of Congressman McClea-
ry, for when the resolution had been
read Senator Hale moved that it be
referred to the deleg alton from the
Second congressional district.
"This motion was carried amid pro-
tests from Senator Sageng and other
admirers of McCleary."
J. B. Schneider, who has had charge
of the Schmid & Lehrer lumber yard
in Springfield for number of years,
will soon have charge of yard in
Dakota for a leading Minneapolis
firm.

 What do these things for which we must strive call for in dollars?-probably s15. 600. 0D0 The writer will not inject here suggestions as to the safest methods for securing such an enormous sum as there will be many wise suggestions to hear in the Birmingham convention. He may be permitted, however, to give a mere hint as to the trend of his thoughts beg the United States to lift the whole question of waterways absolutely and forever out of politics, placing 1t in the hands of a non-partisan and power- ful commission of permanent form. If such become a fact, the waterways of Alabama will receive the first attention of all, as is demonstrable in tonnage and in values that no other sch system tapping such wealth exists anywhere else in the union.
 Somehow the temptation to prophesy is ever present when speaking of Ala hama. She is so great in area, so rich in gifts, so slightly started on her way to supremacy SO little understood and appreciated by those who would tie her down with Lilliputian strings. so mis- understood by those who have never seen her. and so empty of people that in sgination leaps when considering the time that she shall come to her own.

MANY DAUGHTERS GATHER AT NORFOLK Birmingham Woman Writes About Big Convention NO SIGN OF HARD TIMES Alabama and Mississippi Women Fig ure Prominently In Opening Ses-
 sions of the Annual
 Meeting.
BY MRS. cHAPPELL CORY.

Norfolk, Va, November 16.-(Special)- No passes and hard times may affect some conventions, but not the United Daughters of the Confectionery. The larg- est convention ever held was at Gulf port, Mss.-from every appearance this is larger. So great is the enthusiasm of members of this body, that the dele gates present at one meeting begin then and there planning and saving against hard times for the next convention. From Texas to New York, from Mexico. Okla homa and California, they are come and the first day registers not less than 500 delegates. Headquarters for the conven- tion is the Atlantic hotel, while the bus mess meetings are held in the Odd Eel lows hall of Norfolk. A former president advised once against the word head quarters" for such modest gathering of unpolitical southern women, but some- how there seems to be that fascination about it which has suggested no other substitute, and headquarters is still the favorite term. Headquarters, too, is the popular stopping place, for here all do strive to congregate, like unto the legis- lature of Alabama, about the corridors of the New Exchange.
 Among the distinguished women pres ent whom one always expects to see at these conventions and misses when ab- sent are Mrs. Mollie R. Macgill Rosen- berg of Galveston, familiarly known as patron saint of Texas division; Mrs. Stone, also of Texas, called the lawyer of con- ventions; Mrs. John P. Hickman, former secretary of general body, having served in that capacity for 13 years, voluntarily resign ing last year; Mrs Parker, the gracious president of New Yorlxs large chapter; Mrs. J. D. Beale Of New York,

Haulinq Seed Back Home.

Jackson Miss, November 16.--(Special.)-- The cotton oil mills are offering only S1O and $11 per ton for seed this week, and in consequence are not getting any. Farmers who haul seed to town for sale and who are offered only sl1 have sense enough to know they are worth more than that for fertilizing their lands, and are hauling them back home. The mills state they have sufficient quantity of seed to run on for couple of months, and are not feeling the effect of the refusal of the farmers to sell at the prices offered

Pittsburg of today This we do know that in the growth of one part Of a state all the parts share, and. therefore. we know that out through every region remote from iron and coal, the stimulus of this great development will extend, filling the waste places with agricul- tural development. that cross roads shall grow to villages. that villages shall grow to towns, that towns shall expand to cities, and that the capital city, itself seated serenely on its hills, shall be- come the larger heart of an infinitely larger development
 Improvements do not happen, they are made by the hands of men. working over the gifts of nature. Cities do not grow, they are built If then so vast consequences depend upon comprehen- sive use of our waterways, a summons issues to our best men to forsake their ordinary tasks and attend the Birming- ham convention.
