SIX STEERS SEEK HONORS.
Pride of Minnesota State Herds Sent
To Chicago Show.

st. Paul-Comfortab placed in a
special car with a private attendant,
six head of blooded steers went out
from the Minnesota Agricultural col
lege to go on exhibition at the Inter-
national Live Stock show which opens
in Chicago today. The animals are
the pride of the University stock farm,
and most of them already have rec
ords of prizes and places won at SINH
lar exhibitions. They are in charge
of H. c. Campbell, who will see that
they are properly fed and handled up
to the minute they go on the platform
Chief in the herd is Grand Cham
pion Eclipser, an Angus three-year-old
steer which stood second at the ma
tional show last year, and which is
fully expected by his hackers to take
away the blue ribbon this time. Dis
closure, Hereford, goes in the same
class of the Hereford breed, and is
a Minnesota bred animal with winning
points. Two Shorthorn yearlings, Juba
and Prince Rollan, are to be entered
in the younger class from Minnesota,
with Undulata, an Angus yearling who
stood first in his class last year. Bar
barian, another Angus calf closes the
list. He is expected to be winner
in the youngest class at the show.
Prof. Hacker, head of the livestock
department, went to Chicago yester-
day, and will take charge of the Stu
dents judging contest, which is the
first event on the show program. Prof.
Boss and Instructor Gaumnitz leave
today and expect to study the best
stock in the world.

BEMIDJl MARSHAL is SHOT.
Was Attempting TO Arrest Highway
man.

Bemidji.-An unknown highwayman
was killed and Deputy Sheriff Andrew
Johnson, of this city, dangerously
wounded in a desperate battle II
miles from this city.
Two highwaymen entered the store
owned by B. Laqua, at Puposky,
town II miles northwest of here, at
2:30 in the morning and attempted to
blow the safe. The noise awoke Mr..
Laqua, the proprietor, who grabbed a
shotgun and fired two shots at the
robbers. They exchanged the shots
but none took effect The robbers
then ran and stole speeder from the
Red Lake railway company and es-
capped in the direction of Bemidji. Mr..
Laqua notified Deputy Johnson of this
city and he, in company with Allan
Benner, hurried to the overhead
bridge, one mile outside of the city
limits and waited for the men to ap-
pear.
They had not long to wait for in five
minutes the two highwaymen appear
ed. Johnson ordered the men to hold
up their hands, but in response to this
was shot at by one of them. The shot
entered his left shoulder, passed
through his lung and came out of his
left side. Bremen then fired at the
robbers, hitting and instantly killing
one.
The dead robber is believed to be a
lumberjack known here as Jim Smith
who has been working in this vicinity
for the past three years. He was shot
in the head, death being instantan-
eous. The other robber escaped but
posses are securing the woods for
him. He has been traced to the Will
ton camp three miles from Bemidji
and his capture is expected soon.

LUMBER OUTPUT
STATE FURNISHED ONE-THIRD OF
COUNTRY'S WHITE PINE
DURING 1909.
ONE OF big STATES
Wisconsin Is Second, With About IS
Per Capitalization of the Out
put Falls Behind That of
Last Year.

Washington, d. c. - Washington,
Louisiana, Mississippi, Arkansas and
Wisconsin, in the order named, consti-
tute the "big five" in producing the
country's lumber supply, whose valua-
ton for last year runs far above that
of the billion dollar mark.
Texas, Michigan, Oregon, Minnesota
and Pennsylvania rank after the first
five states and others follow in de-
creasing amounts down to Utah, the
lowest on the list, with Nevada and
North Dakota, having little timbered
area. not rated at all.
While the total valuation of the pro-
duction of lumber, lath and shingle
production reached $541, $40, this is
a decrease of % per cent under the pre-
vious years output. The mills re-
porting manufactured 1924, 1863, 900
board feet of lumber, valued at $780,
575,S22, and 1850, $4,000 lath, valued
at $6,791, 1928. Single makers turned
out 12,1O6,4S3,OO shingles, valued at
$24,178,49O.
Yellow Pine From South.
The average value of lumber at the
point of manufacture was $15.37 a
thousand feet, 1927 a thousand for
lath and So a thousand for shingles.
Yellow pine of the south, which has
been far in the lead in the lumber
production for more than decade,
more than maintained it's supremacy
last year, contributing slightly more
than SO per cent of the total cut from
all kinds. Douglas fir of the northwest
ranked second and white pine third
Oak and hemlock maintained their
relative ranks, but showed decreases
of 25 per cent each, and spruce drop
ped Is per cent.
Louisiana was the heaviest producer
of yellow pine lumber; Texas, Missis-
sippi, Arkansas and Alabama followed
The state of Washington supplied
more than three-fifths of the Douglas
fir cut, while the bulk of the remain
der came from Oregon.
Minnesota produced about third OF
the white pine, followed by Wisconsin
with about Is per cent and New
Hampshire third with 10 per cent.
Oak lumber now centers in Ken
lucky.

N. Y. eoPHERs TO BANQUET.
Real Stars Will Be Set On Roof Of
WaIdorf-Astoria.

New York, N. Y. = The annual
dinner of the Minnesota society OF
New York will be held on the even
ing of Dec. IS at the Waldorf-Astoria.

the main banquet hall of the hotel will
be used. The sun parlor is on the
roof of the great hostelry. 1t is a
large glass room and should the an

stars of heaven, with the glimmering
lights of the city in full view below
them.
Timothy E. Byrnes, fourth vice-presi-
dent of the New York, New Haven and
Hartford railroad, is the president of
the society this year and he is making

of men who are now in the forefront
of the financial, railroad and profess
sional world in this city, and conse-
quently of the country, and it's annual
banquet always attracts widespread
attention.

a view to accommodating residents of
Minnesota who may happen to be in
New York the week before Christmas
to do their holiday shopping and all
those who are now intending to visit
the metropolis during that week are
invited to communicate with the treas
urer of the society, w. R. Richards,
so that invitations may be sent them.

LOST REGISTERED LETTERS
FOUND IN QUEER PLACE
missed From MangIed Mail Bag,
They are Recovered From
Car Trucks

missed From MangIed Mail Bag,
They are Recovered From
Car Trucks.
1t does not always follow that the
disappearance of registered mail
packages indicate robbery of the
mail. This was demonstrated on
The Overland Limited train No. 2
Friday, November 9Th, when a pack
age of five registered letters from
Schuyler disappeared between that
point and Omaha.
The recovery of the lost package
was as strange as its disappearance.
The Schuyler pouch is picked up
from crane by means of a pouch
catcher as the train passes. This
pouch catcher is attached to the mail
car and hooks onto the pouch sus-
pended from the crane as the train
passes. In this particular instance
the pouch catcher did not make a
good catch and the pouch fell under
the wheels of the train and was cut
In two. The mail was scattered along
the track for a considerable distance,
but the five registered letters, which
were in packet, could not be found
when the other mail was picked up.
The impression at once prevailed that
the registered package had been found
and kept by some one and it was re-
ported as lost.
POstOffice Inspector L. A. Thomp-
son was started out to investigate His
first visit was to Council Bluffs to
make inquiries of the postal clerks
on the car, and scarcely had he
reached there when he received word
that the registered package had been
found by the car cleaner resting snug
ly on the trucks under the dining
car, where it had been blown or
thrown when the mail pouch was
flung under the wheels at Schuyler
That the package was not injured
in the slightest, nor Jared from it's
position on the trucks, is simply an
other tribute to the Union Pacifics
unsurpassed roadbed and perfect track.
Pathetic Pride.
Willie had had tumble when he
was baby and his hip was so hurt
that ever afterward he was obliged to
use crutch. On one occasion, when
his mother had bought him new
crutch of the latest and most ap-
proved style, Willie expressed his en-
thusiasm and delight in the roundest
terms. "And OH mother!" he ex-
claimed, in conclusion, referring to a
little friend of his who having the
use of both legs had no need of
crutches, won't Johnny Knowles be
iealous!"
