Finds $1,000 In A Cast-off Mattress.

Ivanhoe, Mimi, March 18.-The
finding of $1,000 in currency in an old
cast-off mattress by boy caused
much local excitement and may result
in litigation.
A. H. Mohler, a lawyer, left four
years ago for the state of Washing
ton, and at the time disposed of a
hair mattress to the proprietor of the
Ivanhoe hotel. In course of time the
mattress was thrown out and permits
sion given the children to make a bon
fire of it. The boys found more fun
in using it for play purposes than in
burning it, and for four years it has
been common property among them.
A few days ago the old mattress
went to pieces and boy extracted
from it's remnants fat wallet con.
tanning $1,000 in currency. The ques-
ton has arisen as to who hid the
money in the mattress, and has not
been satisfactorily answered as yet.

former country receiving about four
fifths of the entire output of these two
products.
Several industries closely allied to
and depending upon stock raising are
at present being exploited in the Ter
ritory of Magellan. In 1906 there were
seven tallow factories in the aforesaid
territory, having capital of 425,000
pesos ($155,125), with an annual out
put valued at 100000 pesos ($704,-
4O5). There are two refrigerating
plants in the territory. The one at
Rio Seco has a capital of 100000
pesos ($547,500). In 1907 this plant
exported 10000 frozen wethers. The
factory at Punta Delgada, belonging
to the "Stock Raising Company of
Magellanes" (Sociedad Ganadera), is
the only meat-canning establishment
now in operation in the territory. The
capital invested in this plant is 700,-
900 pesos ($255 ,OO0). There are also
stearin, soap, sailed meat. and ham
factories in the territory.
The climate is so mild and the tenn
perature so even in the stock-growing
section Of Magellan that the herds
can remain day and night in the pas
ture the year round without suffering
injury. In the sheep industry no
country yields such alarge proportion
of lambs-115 to 120 for each 100
ewes-as does Chile, while at the
same time the wool produced is fine
and of a strong fiber At the present
time many of the flocks belong to SUBJ
jects of Great Britain, who were pio-
neers in the stock-raising industry in
the territory Of Magellan. Some idea
may be had of the fortunes arising out
of sheep breeding in southern Chile
when it is remembered that persons
engaging in this occupation with a
capital of $4,000 to $4,000 ten or fif-
teen years ago are now the owners of
fiocks of from 10000 to 10000 sheep.
The raising of horses is profitable
industry in the Territory of Magellan.
The Chilean horse is a descendant of
the Andalusian breed, is hardy, docile,
intelligent and vigorous, and, it is
said, is capable Of doing more work
on less food and with less care than
the European or American horse.
Chilean cavalry horses are taught to
lie down at the word of command, the
cavalrymen using them as rests for
their rifles, the animals remaining mo-
tionless until after the firing is over
and rising again to their feet at the
word of command. Because of these
qualities Chilean horses are highly es-
teemed for the light cavalry service Of
the armies of modern times. In Chile
young horse of from two to four
years old, of average quality, is worth
from $40 to $50, and horse of the
best class and of the same age from
$50 to $40. During the last 20 years
the equine race in Chile has been i'm
proved by the introduction of stations
from England, Germany and France.
The manufacture Of shoes in Chile
by machinery is increasing rapidly. A
short time ago the first shoe factory
employing machinery was opened at
Valdivia, and now there are % we'll
equipped factories of various sizes To-
Gated in different cities of the coun-
try. A large percentage. Of the shoe
machinery in use in Chile is from the
United States. France comes next,
followed by England.

OWNERSHIP DEAL DRAGS.
Saltwater Council and Water Company
Fail to Agree on Terms.

Stillwater.-The city council post
poned action on the proposition to pur-
chase the waterworks plant. The COM
pany will sell for $142,5O0 in cash or
for $147, 900 in per cent bonds. There
was no discussion, but the council
evidently wants to buy for $142,50O in
bonds.
Consideration of the proposal to an
mex the town Of Oak Park to Still
water was deferred indefinitely. Of
ficers of the city were authorized to
enter into a contract with the Con-
sumers' Power company to install
electric motors for the operation of
the pontoon section of the bridge over
the st. Croix. A saving of SO per cent
is expected.
The board of education decided last
night to install domestic science in the
schools next year. w. H. Hollands
was re-engaged for superintendent Of
the schools for term of two years
at an advance of salary. Four teach
ers were chosen to fill vacancies.

TO VOTE ON MANkATo CHARTER.
Commission Form of Government
Question At Issue.

Mankato. The new city charter,
providing a commission form of gov
eminent, will be submitted at spe-
cial election, April 26. Council so de-
cided, practically unanimously, after a
fight lasting several weeks.
Only one alderman is personally in
favor of the new charter, but public
opinion is so strong for it that only
one voted against calling the election.
Those who opposed it wanted it SUBJ
mitted at the general election in No
vember when it's chances of carrying
would be materially lessened, because
every ballot that did not contain a
vote on the charter would be counted
as a vote against it.
Opposition to the charter has great
ly lessened since last fall, and the
commission form is expected to carry
by good majority.

Following the Fashion

Professor Charles Zueblin, an old
Columbus boy, is out in New York
teaching the people how to behave
themselves. In a recent lecture at
the Waldorf-Astoria he said:
ct attended a dinner here in New
York where informal dress was re-
uuested, but 1 found nine-tenths of the
guests wore dress suits. I talked with
one of the guests and he said that
with him it was habit, putting on
dress suit every time he dined. And
he seemed to be an intellectual and
sane man. When the purpose of a
dinner is designed to be informal it
is a sign of vulgarity to dress up
and an offense to organized society.
You would not find such condition
existing In western city,
The last remark is not altogether
correct. There is desperate ten
dency to do what New York does all
over the country. This is an ill con-
dition. New York apes, too, and so
we all do it second hand. How inter
esting it would be if every city had

their returns on the st. Paul primary
election held for the nomination OF

total area of Chile, contains, approx
mately, 100000 acres of land, and
owes it's present prosperity princi-
pally to sheep breeding and the work
ings of its placer mines.
The climate of the territory of Ma
gellan varies greatly, being cold in
the far north and temperate and in
vigorating in the middle and southern
zones. Parts of the territory, espe-
cially the southern portions, are heav-

at some places on the coast of con-
siderable deposits of turf The south
ernmost points of Chile, with the ex-
ception Of some dry lands near the
frontier of the Argentine Republic, is
unsuited for stock raising, but the
southern, middle and northern Sec
tons of the mainland Of the Territory
of Magellan are well adapted to the
raising of stock.
the largest and most prosperous in
dustry of the territory, dates back to
1875, when Gov. Duble Almeida bought
from the Falkland islands the first
consignment of sheep for breeding
purposes to this part of the republic.
Notwithstanding the unpromising re-
suits of the earlier efforts at sheep
raising in the Territory of Magellan,
this industry was soon established on
a firm footing and has been increasing
by leaps and bounds from that date to
the present time.
In 1884 the government conceived
the plan of leasing to private persons
or companies tracts of from 1000 to
10000 hectares $1,000 or $4,000 acres)
of government lands for terms of from
five to 20 years to be devoted to stock
raising and 531, 267 hectares Q,312,-
900 acres) were leased during that
year. Subsequently new concessions
were made, until, in 1896, about 3,OO0,-
900 hectares (7,413,O00 acres) were
disposed of in this part of Chile to be
used in the stock raising industry. In
1903 law was passed permitting the
sale of government lands in the Terri
tory of Magellan and the first sale at
public auction Of 100000 hectares
Q,976,000 acres) brought az average
price of 541 pesos ($197) per hec-
tare (2.471 acres). The remaining
public lands in the Territory OF Magel-
Ian, consisting of about 1,756,Ss2 hec-
tares (4,341,000 acres), and which
were sold at public auction from 1904
to 1906, were disposed of at an aver
age of 7.27 pesos ($2.65) per heclare
(2.471 acres).
1t is estimated mat there were
1,837,709 head Of sheep, 37,S04 head of
horned cattle, 23,SS8 head Of horses,
827 hogs, 122 mules, and SO goats in
the Territory of Magellan in 1907. The
exports of wool through Punta Arenas

tate of New York, in the shape of in

further litigation.
This does not necessarily mean that
the administration of the estate &C

Cooper on Proposition.
This compromise was put up to Gov
ernor Eberhart, State Auditor Iverson,
and members of the state tax commits
son by Attorney General G.. T. Simp-
son on his return from the east, at a
conference held in the attorney gen.
erals Office.
1t was some months ago that Mr..
Simpson startled the legal fraternity
with the announcement that he intend
ed to enforce the state Inheritance tax
law against non-reSidentS. 1t had
never been done before and there was
some doubt.
The estate of ]. S. Kennedy of New
York, owner of Great Northern stock
aggregating S14,OOO,000 in value, was
selected for the test and claims against
the property were Immediately filed.
AS an aid Loouis w. Weeks, assistant
to Mr.. Simpson, was appointed resi-
dent administrator of the estate by
Probate Judge E. w. Bazille of St.
Paul. This was done on petition by
Mr. Simpson.
Since then a quiet investigation as
to the value of the property represent
ed in Minnesota has been on and as
far as known the estimate has been in
the neighborhood of 100000. This
was ascertained by taking the Great
Northern holdings and deducting the
Minnesota mileage.
Mr.. Simpson, it is said, is unwilling
to accept the amount rendered unless
backed by the other state officials. He
even doubts his authority to make a
compromise when such would be taken
as equivalent to an admission 'of the
states contention that it has power to
reach the property even though it is
outside the state.
