MILK CANNERY IN QUANDARY
Has Hard Work Locating Place for
~Condensing Plant.
cow CENSUS MAY BE REQUIRED
Qualification OF 5000 MIX Producers
in Radius of seven Miles bar.
out spots II Nebraska
So Far Located.

President f. Van Camp Of the Van Camp
Packing company is looking for a spot in
Nebraska, where, within a radius OF seven
miles. the milk from 5000 cows can be sup
piled to a condensed milk plant.
Some enterprising community may be
able to take a COW census of the surround
ing territory and land a condensed plant
which will put It on the map at once II it
is a small city.
Perry, Ia, has just landed such a plant,
but President Van Camp says he has raked
Nebraska with a fine tooth comb several
times to find a spot where 5000 COWS can
be practically MIXED into his factory
every morning and evening.
1t Is a serious matter with the condensed
milk manufacturers. They are willing to
organize. build and equip the plants and
conduct the business, but someone has to
raise the cows or buy them and sell the
milk at a reasonable but a profitable price.
Recently It was proposed to locate such
a plant in Omaha. A COW census was
taken and though 1t fell short of the re-
qulred number, President Van Camp asserts
that some malicious individual padded the
cow census rolls, registered goats, beef cat
tie and sheep as he could not find near the
number which the census takers reported.
I'VE could not find a spot in Nebraska
where sufficient milk could be produced
to even run a third class condensed milk
plant" writes the president. 1--WE must
have 5000 cows MIXED for us whiting easy
hauling distance, say seven miles. The
statistics gathered would indicate that such
a spot would be easy to find in Nebraska,
but after careful investigation, it is our
guess that a spot cannot be found where
the milk from even 1000 cows could be
supplied TO U.S."
To meet the requirements of the milk
condensery at least 1900 cows would have
to be kept by farmers within seven miles
Of Omaha, and It is probable that only
about half the farmers would sell the milk
to a condensing plant. In other words, II
1900 COWS were being MIXED for a plant Of
this character there would Be about 1900
COWS to the section. In 1874 square miles
there would be about 100 cows to
the section or some twenty-five
for the hired man to milk on every quarter
section farm. Then the farmers could not
get hands.

DREW SHIP TO ITS DOOM
Magnetic shore of LRPland Draws
steel Steamship 10 the
Rocks,

That the seacoast's magnetic influence
drew his stout ship to it's rugged, iron
ribbed shore is the explanation of Captain
Keldie of the wrecking of the British
steamer Sandal. which was lost on the
coast in question, and he has made an
affidavit e~mbodyirg the foregoing state
ment. The affidavit Is on file with the
Board OF Trade in England.
Not only does the commander OF the
Sandal attribute the loss of his vessel
wholly to the magnetic influence of Lap
land, but Joseph Newnarch, first mate
of the wrecked vessel, swears to a per-
sonal knowledge, gained by many years
experience in that region, of the magryet-
the bones OF the Sandal.
Loaded with timber which It took aboard
at Archangel, in the White sea, Russia,
the Sandal was bound to the Tyne river,
England. Captain Kcldie said:
II an convinced that nothing could nave
saved the Sandal. The particular part Of
Lapland where it struck I nave stree
found composed OF iron and other powerful
magnetic ores, and I am equally positive
that the magnetic attraction disturbed our
compasses and drew us steadily landward.
The weather was hazy at the time"
Mate Newmarch said that for an hour
before the ship struck It was impossible
to keep II on its course, that its head kept
yawing in the direction of the land, and
that. in his opinion, the ~stranding was
caused by the attraction of the land.-New

south Dakota Election Questions.

SIOUX FALLS. S. D., oct. 24.-(Spe-
cial.)-At the general election on Novem-
Der 3 the voters of South Dakota will
have submitted to them two proposed
amendments to the state constitution ana
four proposed new laws.
The most important, or at least the
proposed law of the most general inter-
est, is that which is designed to put an
end to so-called easy" divorces in South
Dakota. This law was enacted by the
last legislature, but was not permitted to
go into effect, opponents Of the law hav-
ing invoked the referendum amendment
to the state constitution, and by filing
petitions containing the required number
of names had the law held up and sub
mltted to the voters at the election on
November 3. Before going into effect
the law will have to receive a majority
vote. 1t is quite generally conceded that
a large majority Of the voters of the state
will vote in favor Of the law, with the
object of putting an end to the migratory
1ivorce business.
Under the new law those who come to
South Dakota for the purpose of securing
a divorce will have to remain in the state
for a period of one year before they will
become legal residents of the state, the
law to be submitted to the voters raising
the period of residence from six months
o one year.

When through poor eating, wrong di-
g%estion. disease or whatever the cause
may be, the blood becomes filled with
poisons and impurities the little red and

yer convention there was uncertainty here.
This has been steadily disappearing. Re
publicans here are now feeling sure of the
election of Taft and the state ticket. and
that Bryan will lose his home state. A
good many populists here will vote for
Taft. Others will vote for Chaplin. This
will make quite a strong detection from
the Bryan strength of eight years ago. The
democrats, I think, will generally vote for
Bryan, but l know sosme who will not.
Mortenson will be elected by a large ma

harmony to elect It.
c.. A. Robinson, Shelton-From indications
here I believe that Taft will carry Buff
falo county by the usual republican ma
jority, and that Sheldon will do even better
than he did two years ago. He ran ahead
of Shallenberger here then. We find an oc-
casional republican in the towns who is
switched for Bryan, but ror every one Of
these we find three former Bryan men who
are afraid OF him and will not follow him
this year. If each county does as we'll as

state.
Peter Mortensen, Ord-Valley county will
give a safe majority for Taft. Sheldon and
the whole republican ticket. Bank guaran-
tee hobby may lose us a few votes that
will be more than overcome by former
populists. These populists have followed
Bryan IN other years, but they are not
pleased with his associates and advisers,
Tammany Hall, Standard Oil, Haskell,
nahiman and others. There is a good deal
of this feeling among the p~opulist farmers
that there is not much I'm common any
move between their interests and Mr.. Bry-
ans interests. II is to the interest of Mr..
Bryan to get into the presidency. where
he is likely, from present Indications, to

now that It is his business to look out for

DOUBT ABOUT SOUTH DAKOTA
Taft VIII Have at Least Twenty
Thousand Plurality.


PIERRE, S. D., Oct. 4.-(SpccialD-To
those who nave watched politics in South
Dakota since it's organization, and back
into territorial days, 1t is hard to under
stand upon what basis eastern people put
South Dakota in the doubtful column as
to the presidency. V lille it is not at all
probable that Taft will carry the state
with the majority which was given to
Roosevelt four years ago, 1t does not show
the least indication of giving Bryan a ma
jority or within $1,000 of It at the present.
election. About the orly possible basis on
which a doubtful claim appears to be based
is IN the fact that Bryan carried the state
the first campaign he made, hut for weeks
before the election that year the indica-
tions pointed in that direction, and it was
only by the hardest of political work that
the republicans saved any Of the state
ticket in that campaign. This year there
is no such surface indications of a change
In the political complexion OF the state as
existed at that time. The democrats them
selvees do not put any great hopes on
making any showing in the state as faI
as the national ticket is concerned. They
arc making their fight for the governorshlp
and as strong a showing as possible In the
legislature, ard along that line are making
their fight.
Early in the campaign it looked like a
close contest on the governorship. and
while the majority of Wesley for the posi-
ton Is likely to fall below that Of the vote
on president. the indications now point 10

There are signs that Mr.. Bryan is be-

Mr.. Norman f. Mack is claiming every

Mr.. Mack's two predecessors in the chair
