From a Settler

Round Lake, Wis.,, care Hayward, Wis.
"If poor man, even one wel-to-do, wants to
better his condition and does not know what to do,
by all means come to Wisconsin and buy land for
a home while it is comparatively low in price.
When came here four years ago there were many
homssteads to be taken and land could be bought
for $500 an acre for the best, while it is from
$11.OO to $1,000. 1t is good clay soil and some
lands have more than enough timber on it to pay
for it. while others easily cleared and ready for
a crop. We raise corn, oats, barley, spe1t wheat
and rye; and country beat us on roots and
vegetables which grow fast it makes them tender
and sweet 1t is the home for all kinds of grasses,
which the prevents being winter killed and
makes it the ideal country for stock. We have the
beautiful sugar maple here in abundance, with oak,
butternut Eastwood e1m the brches cherry, poplar,
tamarack CEDAR and all kinds of evergreens; many
flowers, shrubs and vines grow wild here that are
cultivated in nurseries and gardens farther south,
and our variety of ferns beat the world. We have
the famous Muskalonge; one specimen saw weighed
AZ pounds; he was beauty. While we have the
Oswego and Black Bass, Trout Smells and numer-
Gus other fish, the State Fish Hatchery supplies all
public waters with fish fry free of charge, that
need never be without good fishing in many
lovely lakes. The air is pure, dry and aromatic
from the pines, which renders it perfectly healthful
all of the requirements for ideal home. We build
school houses for those requiring them and hope to
extend the right hand of neighborship to many new
settlers during the year 1909"

that we know of many cases where the
yield has been UP to 1000 bushels an

$3.50 Gets so Acres
Yet as rich as this land is and as val
liable as the crops it can be made to pro-
duce, still it can be secured for next to
nothing. The original owners have got
ten their profit from it in the timber.
They are not farmers and now that the
pine timber is gone are willing to sell
the land at small part of its value.
One hundred and sixty dollars down gets
an 80 acre farm-a farm that can be made
to produce up to $4,000 a year-a farm
that will pay for its own price as you go
along-a farm that few years from now
will be worth at least ten times what you
pay for it. And you can have five or
even ten years to complete your pay
ments-$80O in all. At the end of the
third year your farm will be paying for
itself and yielding you good cash in
come beside. So valuable is this land
that we couldn't possibly afford to let all
our holdings go at this price-it is only
a small per cent of the total that we shall
sell so low Our idea is to secure an in
flow of immigration that will make all
the rest of our Wisconsin holdings adj
vance in value.-and, of course, you will
share in this general advance with us
the more so as you will, by that time,
have your land cleared and under cult

LITTLE DEFINITE INFORMATION
CAN BE ASSURED ABOUT NEW
TARIFF MEASURE.
EFFORTS PROVE FUTILE
Manufacturers and Others Interested
in Proposed Changes in Duty Rates
Haunt Ways and Means Committee
Room Oaily-Tariff on Coffee Causes
Considerable Discussion.

Washington, March 11.-with the
Payne tariff bill practically ready to
be introduced on the first day of the
special session, newspaper correspon-
dents anxious to learn what has been
done with schedules affecting the Sec
tion in which their papers circulate
and manufacturers and others who
have interests that will be effected
by the new measure, gather daily at
the ways and means room in an ef-
fort to learn something regarding the
new bill No legislative measure has
been so carefully guarded as the doc
ument now being framed
The proposition that has given the
committee the most concern and which
has been the most difficult to deter
mine. is the plan to tax coffee. Some
republican members declare that the
taxing of the breakfast table would
make it impossible for the repubh-
cans to carry their districts at the
next election. The National Coffee and
Tea association wrote to the commits
sion that tax on coffee or tea would
be unjust to consumers, detrimental
to trade. irritating to the masses and
finally would fail to produce any ma
terial revenue to the government for
nearly two years to come. "A duty
of cents upon coffee would mean an
immediate profit of at least $3.50 per
bag upon every bag in the United
States to owners thereof" is the claim
made in brief. There being nearly
100000 bags at present held here by
individuals, corporations and Wall
street speculative interests, such a
duty would mean a profit Of $4,000, 900
to the owners and holders thereof, but
1t would not mean one dollar paid into
the United states treasury
Paper and pulp manufacturers have
expressed great alarm over the report
that the committee would include in
the bill the changes in the pulp paper
schedule recommended in the report
of the Mann committee, which inves-
tigated the pulp and paper questions.
The American Paper and Pulp associa-
tion, through it's president. Arthur C.
Hastings, has submitted a lengthty
report concerning changes in the
recommendations made by the select
committee.
we cannot too emphatically state
that the recommendation of the select
committee will fill us with alarm"
says Mr.. Hastings, ''and we believe II
adopted would inevitably be injurious
to our industry. to the country and
ultimately to the consumer"
The Midcontinent Oil and Gas Pro-
ducers' association, claiming to en-
brace in it's membership the owners OF
S7h per cent of the producing oil
wells in Oklahoma and Kansas, which
produce go per cent of the high grade
crude oil of the United States,
has submitted brief urging that the
present countervailing clause of the
Dingley tariff imposes on oil imported
from other countries the same duty
which they collect on oil imported to
them from this country.

"lNSURGENTS" OF HOUSE MEET
AND PREPARE FOR BIG FIGHT
MONDAY.
OPPOSE ANY COMPROMISE
Forces Aligned Against the Adoption
of the Rules of the Lower House as
They Stood During the Past Session,
Are Determined to Secure a Revision
II It Is Possible.

Washington, March 11.-For more
than three hours tonight the repub-
lican Insurgents discussed behind
they propose to make in congress next
Monday against the adoption of the
rules of the last house.
The leaders of the movement ex-
pressed entire satisfaction with the
size of the meeting, claiming that at
least 10 more members would vote
with them against the rules. 1t is
known that much of the time of the
meeting was devoted to discussion of
compromise with the organization
forces.
1t was suggested that the insurgents
enter into compromise with the reg
ulars whereby a committee would be
appointed at the beginning of the spe-
cial session to revise the rules Of the
house. Pending the report, the rules
of the last house would be enforced.
The sentiment was that the speaker
should not have the power OF ap-
pointing the committee if such
compromise was agreed upon.
1t was stated at the meeting that
kilograms had been received from
Representatives Lindberg (Minn.),
Norris (Neb.) and Hayes (Cal) that
they would vote with the insurgents.
After the conference the insurgents
declined to discuss the conclusions
reached. 1t is known that the COM
promise proposition did not meet with
general approval. A program for the
parliamentary procedure for Monday
was agreed upon.
Chairman Gardner said "The meet
ing voted unanimously to give the
tariff bill the right of way and de-
cided upon a program embodying
definite plan for a thorough revision
of the rules. This program will not
be made public until congress is or

PROTECTS MURDERER
FROM MOB
SHERIFF DRIVES OVER ROUGH
ROADS, THEN TAKES HAND
CAR TO ELUDE CROWD.

Sigourney, Iowa, March 11.-After
10-mile drive over the worst roads
experienced in Iowa on the darkest
night imaginable, and then a 20-mile
ride upon handcar, Sheriff Grimes,
with his prisoner, John Junken, the
confessed murderer of Clara Rosen,
the Ottumwa choir singer, managed to
escape what he believed to be the ap-
proach of a mob and landed his pris-
oner in the state penitentiary at Fort
Madison. He left the Jail in Sigour-
ney last night for his drive across the
country upon the receipt of tele-
gram from OttumWa that a mob was
coming. During the evening Fred
Rohen, brother of the dead girl, and
four men appeared at the Jail and
asked to see the prisoner They were
strangers to the sheriff, and repre-
sented that they were from Galesburg,
Ill. The sheriff consented to permit
them to get a glimpse of the prisoner,
but before they entered the corridor
they were searched and four revolvers
taken from them. 1t developed that
they were in communication with the
Rosen vigilance committee at Ot-
tumwa.

POLICE JUDGES COME

LAW
DISCOVERY is MADE THAT MAG
ISTRATES ARE AFFECTED
BY JUDICIARY BILL.
Special to The Daily Missoulian.

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Butte, March lion the eve of a
city election the discovery was made
today that Harry A. Franks bill reg
ulating the election of judiciary Off
GERS in the future applies to police
magistrates and for that reason it is
probable that there will be no nomina-
tions made for this position by the
democratic, republican and other par
ties for the coming spring election.
The first section of Mr.. Franks bill
provides that hereafter all nomina-
tions for judicial officers shall be made
only in the manner provided by Sec
ton 1913 of the political code of the
state of Montana This provision al
lows nominations only by petition and
while it requires that per cent of
the voting population must sign their
names to the petition, it does not lin

under any party designation.
includes 'Em All.
Mr. Frank had his attention called
to the bill this afternoon by The Mis-
soulians correspondent, and he was
frank in saying that the provisions
went further than he thought when
the bill was drafted. Il cannot give
you an opinion off hand" he said,
but 1t is my belief that the bill will
cover all of the judiciary in Montana,
which includes, according to the codes
courts of impeachment, supreme
court judges and justices, district
judges, justices of the peace and po-
lice magistrates. 1t is possible that
coroners will also be included The
contention that police court judges
come under the meaning of judiciary
officers is clearly shown in the case
of the People against Henry, cited in
the 62d California, page 557, which
clearly holds that the police judge is
a Judiciary officer ] do not think
any other officers, save those already
noted, will be amenable to the new
law. There was little opposition to
the measure in the house and the
senate passed the bill unanimously"
The discussion of the provisions of
the new law has been the principal
topic of conversation all day long in
Butte and it will have a material eff
feet upon the coming city conven-
tions.

DISCOVER NO CLEW
TO MURDERERS
POLICE UNABLE TO SOLVE MYS-
Terry OF KILLING OF
CATHOLIC PRIEST.

Newark, N. j., March 1.-THE ef-
forts of the police have been so far
unavailing in getting any tangible clew
to the murderers of Father Anson,
who was shot and killed yesterday in
the rectory of ST. Stanislaus Polish
Catholic church, OF which he was pas
tor. Another arrest was made today,
making nine men who have been taken
into custody on suspicion, but none of
them, so far as known, have thrown
any light on the mystery.
The police learned today that for a
long time past the apartment of a
woman near the rectory has been the
meeting place of number of Poles,
and that threats against the priests S
life had been heard.
Antonio Sewrzytska, the housekeeper
who was shot, was so much improved
today that the nine suspects may be
taken before her tomorrow.
Through a story told today by IL
year-old Dorothy Germack, the police
became convinced that Father An
soin's slayer had been lying in wait
for him for more than a week. The
girl said that while in church on
Tuesday, March 2, she had seen a man
hiding behind pillar. AS Father

OWE A SINGLE
DOLLAR"

Special to The Daily Missoulian.
Helena, March 11.--F. B. Linder-
man, secretary of the Montana Min
ing association, referring today to
the troubles of the independent
smelter at Ponderay, Idaho, said:
The smelter does not owe a sin
gle dollar for ore, and every oper-
ator who has shipped has received
his money.
There are 1000 tons of ore on
hand at the smelter at present, and
every pound of it has been paid
for. Since the Montana associa-
ton became connected with the
plant 1t has fully met all of its OBJ
legations.
Il would advise all shippers to
hold their ore until further action
is taken, for it is my best Judgment
that the affairs of the company will
be Strengthened out soon and the
plant will resume operations"
