RECENT STRIKES ARE
signs Of GROWING
ANARCHY SAYS BRAGG
(By Associated Press.)

Fond DuLac, Wis, Dec. 29.-That
recent strikes are signs Of growing
anarchy and that civil war in this
country will follow them unless pres
ent social conditions are changed, is
the opinion of General Edward S.
Bragg, commander of the Iron Brl
gade.
1.-THE government has not done its
share in sWppressing strikes which
have arisen all over the United
States" says the general.
"These outbursts are nothing more
than a sign of anarchy which are
sounding warnings which must be
needed. If present social conditions
continue civil strife is inevitable. At
times think it is not far away, but
again it appears to be a long distance
from us. The French revoFu ton had
ought to serve as an example to the
United States"
General Bragg, who was consul
general of the United States at Hong
Kong, is also of the opinion that there
is little danger Of a war between jap
an and Russia. He says that neither
country has any rightful claim to
Mlanchuria.

Beach, Dec. 29.-Strangers in Beach
last fall were considerably astonished
at seeing a huge gasoline engine come
putting into town, drawing train of
eight huge wagons (known as tanks)
each loaded with 125 bushels of the
slippery little seeds-an even thous-
and bushels of food for the linseed
oil mills, at a trip.
That is the way the FLAX King
marketed his crop, and his crop was
not small, either, being thirty thous'
and bushels, which he sold at an av-
erage Of $3.50 per bushel, yielding
him the sum of $4S,000.0O. Deduct
ing the cost Of breaking, sowing, mar
vesting, threshing and hauling to
market-$11, ,085. .00-leaves him pro-
fit of something like $50, ,915.O0 for his
seasons work-enough to keep the
wolf from the door for another year,
and by that time, with good luck,
he will have eked out some more.
Mr.. Smith is certainly entitled to
the appellation FLAX King" and the
story of how he gained the title, en-
bellished by cuts reproduced from
photographs Will surely prove inter-
esting to all interested in the now
famous Golden Valley.
Mr.. Smith was, prior to the past
year, never an actual farmer, but
confined his efforts, during his seven
years residence in this locality, to
land dealing. As a member of the
Golden Valley Land and Cattle Com
pany of St. Paul, his land deals were
large and numerous, his headquarters
being at Sentinel Butte. When
Beach began to show symptoms of
becoming something more than a
whistling post in a supposedly arid
region he transferred his Office to it,
and continued to sell land and bring
in settlers OF the latter he has
brought in more than any other per-

CHlQINGION TO Lead

Chicago, Dec. 29.-Thomas M. ChlV

American Association over Jos. ID.
O'Brien at the annual meeting here
tohay. Chivington won on the hrst
ballot by five votes to three. O'Br1en
the present incumbent, did not make
as good a battle as was expected as
it was thought he was at least power
full enough to cause deadlock on
the first ballot.
Chivington was elected for one,
year.
The association also decided to play
a 16S-game schedule in 1910, elected
w. R. Armour of Toledo, vice presi-
dent and decided to hold the sched-
ule meeting in Chicago at the time OF
the American league meeting about
the middle of February. A rule was
passed requiring all clubs to provide
dressing rooms at the park for visit
ing players. St. Paul will be an ex-
ception to this rule as it may use two
parks next season. Presidest Chiv-
ington announced that the league
headquarters would be moved to Chi
cago about February.
Geo. Tebeau was reelected chair
man of the board or directors but
there may be a contest on his right
to serve. The directors are elected
by clubs and Louisville, not Kansas
City, is entitled to director.

In his dealings Mr.. Smith obtained
title to several large tracts of land,

the beginning of 1909, found himself

seven miles southwest of this city.
He determined to turn farmer af-
ter investigating the merits and pos
sibilities of the gasoline tractors
and ascertaining that, by good man
agement, breaking and pulverizing
could be accomplished for about $3.50
per acre, and that the crop could be
put in, harvested, threshed and mar
keted with engines much cheaper
than with horses-hence the elimin-
alton OF the equines from his agri-
cultural scheme.
He purchased two gasoline en-
gines rated at % horse power, two
six-bottom Emerson gang plows, five
twelve-foot sod crushers, three 12-
foot disc drills, ten binders, ten wag-
ons and a separator-the whole out
fit costing about 0,000 90, and which
is now, after one seasons work,
practically as good as new.
He commenced breaking on April
Is with two outfits, each consisting
of an engine, gang plow and a crush
er, and worked night and day until
1900 acres of the virgin sod had it's
roots kissed by sun and wind. Then

gine used for seeding by day, but re-

INCREASE In SALES

BETTER CONDITIONS
(Bv Associated Press.1


Washington, Dec. 29.-That the
covering from the slump in the con-
sumption of that beverage which
characterized the fiscal year ended
June 80, 1909, when the internal rev.
enue receipts fell Off nearly two and
a half million dollars is shown by
the November treasury statement
giving such returns from all sources.
During November the taxes on beer
increased $6O6,947 over November,
1908, which means just so many more
barrels were taken from the brewer
les for ultimate use. For the first
fie months Of the current fiscal year,
the increase in beer tax receipts over
the corresponding period of the fis-
cal year 1909 amounted to $777, ,658
the summer months of the current
year showing an increase while in
September and October there was a
falling off.
Internal revenue bureau officials
say an increase in consumption of
beer Is an indication of prosperity as
being poor mans drink, it's use ac-
curately reflects the trend Of indus
trial conditions.
The fact also is brought out that
the retail liquor dealers special tax
for the first five months of the cur
rent fiscal year shows decrease of
0282,779, as compared with the cor
responding period of the previous
year, which the officials say is due
to the wave of prohibition which has
swept over the various portions of

SINGLE Slight CHANCE
Between MORSE and
Federal PRISON Term
(By Associated Fress.)

New York, Dec. 29.-Only techni-
cal legal shadow now stands between
Charles w. Morse, banker and one
time Ice King, and the fifteen year
sentence in the federal prison at At
lanta. Judge, Hough in the United
States circuit court today denied his
motion for new trial, but close up
on the heels of the decision, Martin
w. Littleton, his counsel, announced
that one more stand would be taken.
Tomorrow he will move in the cir
cult court for a writ Of error on Judge
Hough's decision of today. If this is
denied Morse will begin the new year
serving his sentence for violation of
the national banking laws, the su-
|preme court of the United States hav-
ing previously refsed to interfere in
the case.
Mr.. Littleton's recent application
for a new trial for Morse was made
ion the grounds that the jury was i'm
properly guarded and that some Of
the jurors drank to excess during the
trial. With respect to this charge
the court holds that the fact that the
jurymen were in the custody of secret
service men instead of regular deputy
marshals was well known to both
counsel and jurors when the trial be-
gan. The court also notes that more
than a year had elapsed since Morse
was convicted and sentenced, and
that the judgment had been affirmed
by the United States circuit court of
appeals and writ of certiorari had
been denied by the United States su-
preme court.
