PAPER PRICES
Committee Of Congress is Sitting in
Wisconsin Now

Appleton, Wis, Sept 16.-"I am not
prepared to state whether or not my
endeavors here have added much to
the knowledge ] already possessed
concerning conditions in the paper
industry. but feel that the investiga-
tion in Wisconsin will surely result in
much good" said Chairman James R.
Mann Of Chicago, of the congression-
al paper and pulp investigation COM
mittee, this morning, after holding an
all nights session at Menasha, dur
ing which time Augustus Spies, presi-
dent of the Marinette and Menominee
Paper company of Marinette, Wis,
and Senator William Jones of Bengor,
Mo-, testified. Continuing, Chairman
Mann said:
while our committee will investi-
gate the paper industry. generally in
Wisconsin, we will pay particular at
tention to the present and probable
future supply of pulp wood and its
availability in this locality. We will
look into the price of wood, paper
and labor, hours of labor and COM
binations."
When asked whether or not he in
tends calling to the witness stand
Henry B. Dean of Providence, R. l.,
promoter Of the proposed print paper
and pulp mill syndicate. who for
months has made Appleton his head
quarters. Mr.. Mann replied that he
would not. divulge in advance whom
he intends calling upon to testify. 1t
is reported from semi-authentic
sources, however, that the principal
promoter OF the proposed deal that
will involve ten millions Of dollars
and is intended to include nearly
every print paper and pulp mill in
Wisconsin, Michigan and Minnesota,
will be called before the investigation
committee. The committee today in
vestigated the price of print paper
and pulp wood for more than a quar-
ter of century back, and gained in
formation in this matter that was not
available in the east. Accompanied
by John L. Norris of New York, OF
the newspaper publishers association,
and number of manufacturers. the
committeeman, including William H.
Stafford of Milwaukee and William H.
Ryan of Buffalo, N. Y, spent much of
the time today in inspecting the mills
at Neenah and Menasha. Tomorrow
they will come to Appleton to visit
the mills and possibly take testimony
of two or three witnesses. Chairman
Mann has decided to establish head
quarters at Menasha instead of Appls-
ton, and declared today that his work
in eastern Wisconsin will probably
require ten days to complete.

occur. For the fate OF Monker and
the six Indians who went last night
to Nester a homesteaders settlement
not far from Grand Marais there are
very grave fears indeed.
The men started out from the
town In an attempt to save some of
the party located on the Nester road,
and the fire swept in behind them and
the village, and it Is thought that they
have perished," said Gen. Wood of the
Gopher. Unless they were able to
escape in the ether direction they
are lost. Their chances of escaping
the other way are thought very slim
because big fire was coming toward
them from farther inland" Comman-
der Guy A. Eaton and Lieutenant
Commander Benjamin F. Howard, ma
vigating officer of the Gopher are
familiar with lay of the land in the
north shore country and they shook
their heads gravely when questioned
as to possible chance of escape.
Al, Colville.
At Cclville, six miles from Grand
Marais everything went, says the gen.
eral. Among those burned cut there
were Mrs. H. Shepard. Ever Johnson
and Eli Mizenia. 1.-THE situation look
ed very bad at Chicago Bay" said
Commander Eaton, "and some people
wanted us to declare martial law
there but we did not deem it neces-
sary. However we left ten men from
the ship there. Forty men from the
boat were left to fight the fire at Lut-
zen and twenty were left at Grand
Marais. As soon as We secure coal
and provisions here we will start back
on the Gopher and will be there in
the morning"
The officers Of the Gopher declare
the. gravity of the situation on the
north shore has not been exaggerated
in the least and that the Gopher was
OF great service to the people and the
north shore.

of Fargo were willing To shiver in the
raw prairie blizzard that the next
president of the United States should
be properly clad. The difficulty was
to find man of the Taft physical pro-
portions who owned an overcoat.
The county chairman was in despair
until he happened to think Of Finn
Leech, a bonanza farmer" whose
ranch is only a few miles from Fargo.
Finn weighs $40 pounds. The county
chairman lost no time in getting in
touch with Finn Leech.

"Would he loan It to Judge Taft for
use that evening"" Would he? Would
a lifelong Republican miss a chance
to have his finest garment adorn the
shoulders of the leader of his party?
: Ten minutes later the overcoat was
in the hands Of the county chairman
and Judge Taft was tucked beneath
its ample folds as soon as his train
reached Fargo. He wore the coat to
the barbecue and to the meetings fol.

Citizens Want Change in Government

trict of Columbia, where suffrage is
denied. But frequent and repeated
contention. and pickering among the
members of the board have served to
create more or less general criticism
of the commission plan. and thus give
the propaganda for change some mo
menturn. With the commissioners OBJ
viously working at cross purposes,
and airing their, differences. and sub
ordinate district officials following
this example by engaging in noisy con
troversies, It is a logical sequence that
the present form Of government
should gradually be somewhat under
mined.
Many substantial citizens and large
taxpayers are convinced that a one
headed government would work more
smoothly and satisfactorily. This Is
no new conviction on their; part. II
has been emphasized In recent exhi.
bitions of division in the present tri
umvirate, 1t is true, but the advisable
ity of concentrated authority has ap
pealed to them for years.

may be necessary for Senator McCum-

vertisement In the newspapers of his
state for mysteriously missing over

In the second week OF his strenuous
campaign for the presidency Judge
Taft invaded North Dakota. He was
accompanied by cold wave that met
him at Minneapolis. Great prepara-
tions had been made for his enter
tainment at Fargo, where the arrange
ments contemplated visit by the
Republican presidential candidate to
a big barbecue near the edge Of the
city. All these plans were outlined to
Mr.. Taft by local committee which
boarded the train at Crookston, MINI.
When Mr.. TAFT, limited that he had no
garment to protect him from the cold,
local committeeman said they would
see to 1t that he was provided with
proper habiliments.
