Long Pine Journal Mrs. Mcknight
received a letter from her daughter,
Mrs. McLeran of Springvew on Tues
day of this week, stating that Mr.. Nc
Leran would at once begin surveying
profile for the Northwestern rail-
road from Springview to Long Pine.
A gang of surveyors are now engaged
in mapping out a route for the COM
pany from Dallas to Springview. For
some time different officers of the
above company have been seen "drap-
ping off the trains at Long Pine and
taking overland trips between this
town and Dallas. The matter has
been kept very quiet. but It is reported
that on Thursday large amount of
supplies, tools and surveying instru-
ments of different kinds were received
at the depot. Many are of the opinion
that the peopl Elm this vicinity are
laboring under a false impression,
but nevertheless the railroad company
is making preparations for some large
building operation In this vicinity.

Hav Is Scarce,

Rock County Leader: The last two
or three weeks has seen an active de-
mand for baled hay from eastern as
well as western markets, the result be-
ing that Rock county will be entirely
cleaned of it's stored surplus. 1t Is
claimed that there are but 500 or 600
tons of baled hay in the vicinity of
Bassett and about 5000 tons in the
Vicinity of Newport. This will be
sold within the next ten days or two
weeks. Many farmers who sold early
in the season are now short, as the
severe winter we have had and the
late spring, took more hay than they
anticipated it would. Happy is the
hay man who filled his barns to full
storage capacity last fall when hay
was cheap, also the smile that won't
come off Is seen on the farmer who
has held this hay off of the market
and is now receiving from two to
three times as much for his hay as the
man who sold last fall.

the most eXpesnve suits in the Hotel
Chalfonte and who is rated here as a
Chicago millionaire. gave the board
walk habitues jolt when he walked
into the Gossler art emporium. where
regular auction sales are held to dis
pose of paintings, comics and bric.a-
brac, and declared that he didn't want
the tiresome occupation of bidding on
the articles singly.
He demanded of the amazed auc.
toner that the entire store be offered
at auction, and he would bid for the
entire collection of works on sale
The auctioneer gasped and sought
the telephone, secured the consent of
the partners in the business and,
without catching his breath, he
stunned the half hundred buyers with
the announcements:
What am bid for the stock In the
emporium, fixtures not included?"
That was Kramer's cue, and prompt
ly came the offer, $4,000"
The fever seemed to be contagious.
In $1,000 bids, while the auctioneer
howled in his excitement, the price
went up to over $4,000, when bidding
ceased.
ITS your store" said the auc-
tioneer to Kramer who coolly drew his
checkbook, wrote check for the
amount, which the auctioneer verified
by telephone, and ordered the stock
Grated and shipped to his Chicago ad-
dress.
What do you want with it all?"
asked John Gossler, one of the inter-
ested members of the firm, and the
response came:
81 mean to have it on hand to be
sent to my friends as Christmas pres
ents. 1t will save me a lot of shop
ping and worry around the holidays"
