Towns Near Famine Line

In the northerM past of Minnesota
small towns will soon be facing a
famine unless feedstuffs can be sent in.
St Paul and Minneapolis are the dis
tributing points for the entire north
west covering Minnesota, northern
wisconsin, northern Iowa, North and
South Dakota, Montana, Idaho and a
large part of Washington and Oregon.
In all cities in these states the strike
will be felt. The most serious effect
will be in Montana, particularly in
Butte, Anaconda and Great Falls.
Unless the roads can carry coal and
ore to smelters operations must cease.
That all hopes of speedy settlement
of the strike were gone was indicated
by the departure for Washington to-
night of Martin A. Knapp of the inter-
state commerce commission and United
states Labor Commissioner Neill.

CREDITORS MEET.

The first meeting of the creditors Of
the Hardy Grain Co., bankrupt, was
held here Friday, with Hon. T. A..
Lancaster, Referee in Bankruptcy,
presiding. There were numerous cred
itors and attorneys present Three
trustees were elected as follows:
Seld Waddell, of this city; j, W.
Brown, who has been temporarily in
charge of the business pending the
meeting; and w. ii. Bobbitt, Of
Humboldt. This step was thought
best in view of the fact that there
are so many conflicting interests and
close questions that will likely arise
in the adjustment of this estate. A
great many claims were filed, but the
amounts had not been calculated, so
that it was not possible to give the
total. The referee made an order di-
recting the trustees to sell all per
sonal property at once for cash. The
real estate to be sold, including the
mills and elevators and machinery
attached, will be sold on terms OF
one-third cash, the balance on six
and twelve months, with approved
personal security and lien retained.
The meeting adjourned until Nov. ~,
when the unfinished business will be
taken up, and any other business,
together with the report of the trus-
tees, If any, and be disposed Of

HIS SITUATION TO BE ENvlED.
Sheep Herder's Post Is No Longer Ono
of Isolation.

At the head of a deep, wooded
canyon, a branch Of Upper Mckay
creek, l came upon a sheep herder's
tent the other day, and at sight of the
camp there in the woods l moralized
upon the fate of the sheep herder, and
my heart went out in sympathy for
him in his alleged loneliness"
But upon visiting his camp that
evening l took back" what l said in
sympathy for him and almost envied
the entertaining versatility Of his Sc.
clusion.
In one corner of his tent was a good
photograph and nearer it several
dered two or three selections by Pat
ii, Caruso, Sehumann Heink and other
singers, a speech by Bryan, a vau6e.
Vile selection and an act from Shake
speare's Julius Caesar"
Under the head of his bed were half
a dozen of the best magazines (some
of which / had not found time to read)
and at the foot of the bed lay well
thumbed copies of the latest novels.
l looked at this bronzed son Of the
hills in genuine envy. Here he may
read, write, think, commune with ma
ture, or be carried to the great con-
servatories Of the artists, while the
driven slaves of the city must bend
over a desk day and night to meet
the terrific competition of this soulless
commercial age.-East Oregonian.

Glance in Advance a, the Pleasures in
Store for Sixth Day of the
Pilgrimage.

Are you keeping posted on the
progress and developments in the
great Popularity contest being
conducted by the TRIBUNE in con-
junction with The st. Louis Star
and other leading newspapers in
Missouri and Illinois? OF course
you are, for that is what every
body, seems to be doing, and the
shifting of the positions of the
many of the candidates is one of
the things that proclaims louder
than words the very general in
terest. Additions are made to the
long list of candidates every day
and the voting keeps the manag-
ers of the. contest shifting the
names of the candidates about in
the published list.
What the TRIBUNE would like
to impress upon its readers is that
the contest is one of popularity.
The voice of the people will de-
eide it; the votes of the people
will decide who shall have the
great 1909 model touring cars that
are to be awarded as the sweep
stake prizes: who shall win the
fifteen free trips to the great Fair
that is to open at Seattle on June
list; who shall have the five
Baldwin pianos, worth $500. each;
who shall have the five vacation
trips to the fine Michigan summer
resort at Camp Algonic, Russell's
Island; who shall have the five
purses of gold. The prizes which
are to be distributed free by the
TRIBUNE, The st. Louis Star and
other papers associated with the
contest, when the people have
made up the verdict as to who are
justly entitled to them, aggregate
in value $t2 $500.

to Cripple Creek and then to
Denver, and on to Leadville prac-
tically at the summit of the
mountains. Then on to Glenwood
Springs. Here the pilgrims were
left for a breathing spell. Thus
we find them on the morning OF
the sixth day of the journey,
eager for the enjoyment OF the
beauties of this most famous
Colorado health resort. Glenwood
Springs is claimed by some trav-
elers to have no equal anywhere
as a health resort. The hotels
and the facilities for pleasure are
unsurpassed any place. The
springs themselves are we'll up on
the mountain side, having an al
titude of 5000 feet. The springs
are hot, having an average tenn
perature of 1877 degrees Fahren-
heit.
Besides the springs and the
pleasure resorts, there are many
old caves scattered about, and
many of these caves have become
as famous as the springs them
selves for their curative proper
ties. being filed constantly with
natural steam or vapor, possess
ing the same qualities as the
springs.
Scattered all about the region
there are points of interest, fraught
with Indian traditions, and in
fact it would be difficult to find a
place on 'the Footstool," where a
day can be more enjoyably spent
than at Glenwood Springs.
The plan of the journey as pow
outlined is to leave Glenwood at
about half-past ten o'clock at
night of the sixth day OF the trip,
and thence the magnificent spec
tial car "Sunset' will role away
towards the State of Utah and
wonderful salt Lake City, the
seat of Mormondom. We will
leave them to make this trip and
in a future article will take them
about temples and other sights OF
the Mormon capital, and acquaint
them with the environments of the
great Salt Lake, that splendid
sailed sea in the heart of the
continent.

Saved Continental Army.

A striking illustration of the chances
Of wal is found in the fact that the
American army at Cambridge during
the war of the revolution would have
been left without ammunition but for
the provision of John Brown, a mer-
chant of Providence, r. l., and n Of
the family who gave name to the uni
versity at the place. Brown was a
very wealthy merchant and was the
first of the Rhode Island merchants to
send his ships to China and the East

structed his captains on the return

Interest for the readers of the
TRIBUNE is probably keener as
regards the Seattle Fair trip than
some of the other prizes. This is
perfectly natural. The young
ladies, whom the people by their
votes are to select are to go to the
Alaska Yukon-P Pacific Exposition
as representatives of the State OF
Missouri, and are to be accompan-
led by at least one high official OF
the State. In fact, the idea OF
awarding these trips as prizes in
this contest had its origin in the
fact that the State has not made
arrangements for official repre-
sentation at the Exposition,
coupled with the determination Of
the TRIBUNE and the newspapers
associated with 1t In the enter
prise, that the State should be
represented A. the best possible
manner.
