Another Possibility.

From the present Western league cir
cult another tight little league can then
be built. With Topeka. Lincol IN. Wlch-
ita, Oklahoma City, Pueblo and Denver
a splendid six-club organization is pos
sible. 1t may be expanded easily
enough to an eight-club organization.
No confidence is violated in making
the statement that club owners of all
grades, from the majors down to
The "bushers,' have been framing up
for this war for Mt least two seasons.
The restless activity of the Tcbcau fac
ton has been noted for more than that
length of time, and preparations have
been made as far as possible to antIcl-
pate the results. Last season the lead
ers Of the big leagues were prepared to
crush the aspiring minors under an ava
lauchc of cash. Maybe they are yet,
hut if so. il means n stubborn fight, for

Gov. johnson has vetoed the
tonnage tax bill. He was delug-
ed with protests in the form of
letters and kilograms from north
ern Minnesota and it would have
been hard to have done anything
else. Duluth and the range
towns were wild over the matter,
stirred up by the steel trust with
the threat thatit would not build
it's intended big plant at Duluth
and that it would close down all
the mines if the tax bill became
a law. These threats were the
veriest bluff, as the iron deposits
in northern Minnesota are the
greatest and best in the country
and supplies elsewhere are Civ
ing out. The trust would have
continued to mine this ore even
had the bill become a law. The
governors motives will be i'm
pugned, but The Herald believes
he did his duty as he saw it.

tended article on the Alaska Yu-
kon-Pacific Exposition which is
to open at Seattle in May. Pic
lures of the different buildings
are given and the article gives
much valuable information. The
exposition business has been
greatly overdone in this country
during the last twenty years, all
of the big shows except the
Mississippi Exposition in
Omaha in 1893 having proven fl
nanciaI failures. The coast peo-
pie, however, are going at this

there will be a great stream of

newspapers that started in to
discredit President Taft is hav-
ing hard shedding. No sooner
had Roosevelt disappeared than
these fellows circulated the story
that Taft was ignoring the
Roosevelt policies and was so
stirring up Roosevelt's friends
that the mighty hunter would
come home and get into the pres
idential race in 1912 as a vindi-
cation of himself. AS matter
of fact the new president has
done none of the things charged
against him and the people know
it. They take no stock in these

The draining of the Everglades of
Florida is not only the greatest engi-
neering project in the United States
today, but is subject of widespread
interest in many ways.
1t is locality of great romantic,
historical and political interest. The
possession of these valuable lands has
been the subject of bitter strife for
years between the, railway interests
and the state. The state is now re-
claiming these lands-in fact, large
part is already drained and crops
growing and The Florida Fruit Lands

The Ways of the moonshiner are
pretty much the same everywhere. A
suitable location consists of a secluded
spot witch water in abundance. 1t Is
important, should he ever be called
upon to defend a case in court, for
the question of ownership Of the land
upon which the still is located to be
involved in doubt. hence the moon
sinner gets as near the line of his own
land or the land he Controls as posi-
BILE.
The stills are primitive affairs and
are often made complete in the neigh
borhood in which they are operated.
With two or three square yards of
sheet copper the stillmaker requires
but few hours to make the "biler."
Homemade hogsheads are usually
used as fermenters and the only thing
the illicit distiller has to send "off yam
der arter" is the worm. Being difficult
to secure. the moonshiner prizes bis
worm" highly, and that part of the
distillery is usually taken away when
the operator leaves.

in Florida, where cane "skimmins"
are distilled into kind Of rum, pot

stills is called by the natives pot

generated is conveyed by pipes to the

The good news comes that the
legislature has made a liberal
appropriation for the girls in
dustrial school which was locat-
ed at Sauk Centre last year.
While the sum appropriated falls
little below what was recon-
mended by the Board of Control,
yet it is ample to begin the work
and to defer the cost of consider
able construction the present
season. There is every reason
to believe that work will begin
soon and that before the close of
the present season Sauk Centre
will realize the fruition of it's
hopes as to this institution.
With the opening of the radiator
factory, the beginning of work
on the industrial school, the run
ming of the Keller factory with
a full force on full time and the
general looking up of business,
this beautiful and enterprising
little city gives ample promise of
being distinctly "on the map"
this year. Sank Centre is a fine
town and it will pay every citi-
zen thereof to tell others so.
Never forget to say a good word
for your home town.

The prediction is made that
within the next five years the
most terrific naval war of history
will break out between England
and Germany. Perhaps by that
time the airship will be perfect
ed to an extent to enable it to
wipe the warships off the face of
the sea. And this is our boasted
twentieth century civilization.
The dark ages were not so dark,
in some ways, as ours are. When
you get right down to basic facts
man is a good deal of a brute.
