PORTLAND HAS BIG
PACKING PLANT

Portland, Ore, Feb. 2S.-The
Swift packing plant on the peninsula
will be opened for business on March
IA, and after that date Portland will
be the chief livestock market west
Of Denver. Excellent facilities for
marketing all kinds of livestock will
be found here and packing operations
will constantly expand. The open
ing of the new Swift plant means
that 500 people will be employee
there at first and within one year it
is likely that this number will be
doubled.
Not only will the Swift plant in
crease its operations constantly but
other packing plants and factories
for the utilization of by-products will
be built in the stockyards district.
Competition for the stock raised
throughout the northwest will be Sc
cured and good prices assured. The
new industry promises much in en-
couraging the stock raising business
in this part of the United States.

and to Jarbridge, just south of the
Idaho-Nevada state line, where there
is great excitement over recent gold
discoveries. The first named district,
including Elk City, Newsome and
what is now known as Ten Mile, was
the mecca of placer miners about As
years ago, the Wells Fargo Express
company handling more than $780,
100000 in gold, the total output
from 1854 to 1871. The early opera
lions were confined to the shallow
bars, but since 1898 there has been
considerable work on the high
benches. One company, of which M.
H. Hare OF Spokane is manager, has
742 acres of patented ground on the
old Montana placer in Newsome
camp, and this, engineers report,
contain more than one hundred mil
lion cubic yards of gold-bearing
gravel, the lowest average value be-
ing 10 cents a yard. The main de-
post is from 1900 to $500 feet in
width, 5000 feet in length and SOC
feet deep. Experts predict that so
men will be employed next season
where only one is at work today and
that the output will be large.

Grow Asparagus at Kennewick.

Spokane, Feb. 2S.-Fruit growers
at Kennewick, on the Columbia river
in Benton county, Wash, southwest
of Spokane, have obtained 100000
asparagus plants, which will be set
out in a short time, the plan being
to produce the vegetable for export
by the carload. They believe that
asparagus can be grown in COM
mercial quantities at a big profit, and,
If the venture proves the success pre-
dicted for it by experienced truck
gardeners, they say that canneries
will follow. They have sufficient
plants to spread over more than 100
acres and it is expected the entire
district will be interested in the in
dustry within five years. They will
grow the vegetables in their newly
set orchards and in connection with
small fruits and early vegetables. The
Kennewick district is one of the first
to have strawberries on the market
and many growers have made for
tunes Their in following that industry.

Oroville, Wash, Feb. 28.-J. M
Jensen, native of Denmark who
owned a homestead east of here
was found dead in his cabin last
week and, although it was stated
that death was due to heart disease,
his neighbors believe he was MUIR

Jensen, some of his neighbors say,

that he was murdered by robbers.
as none of this money has been found
about the place.
A couple of weeks before his death
it is said that Jensen, in an alter

if the hopes of some are realized and
the state is found to have 100000
people, then four representatives will
be allowed.

BOGUS LINCOLN PENNIES
Federal Authorities Looking fol

Portland, Ore, Feb. 28.-It Is
stated that the federay authorities
are searhcing for a gang of counter
feiters which is making bogus Lin
coin pennies. The imitation is a
poor one, the product being compos-
ed of babbit and tin and lacking the
copper color of the penny. 1t is said
to be the first time in the past ten
years that secret service men have
discovered counterfeit pennies. An
other peculiar feature of the case is
that the authorities believe the gang
is composed of boys.

There goes through the mails a vast
mass of free matter. 1t is made up of
the official correspondence of the differ
emit departments, of the printed matter
distributed by them, of postal supplies,
and of the matter Of different kinds
some of it campaign iterature--which
the franking privilege enables senators
and representatives to send out. IF
we knew the share Of each Of the con-
tributors to the considerable volume Of
free matter we could tell to what extent
each of them was sponging on the pos
tai service and keeping the postofice
department from being self-supporting.
We ought to know, but we do not. It
is probable, however, that we shall
know soon. 1t is proposed that special
stamps be printed to be issued by the
postofice department to those entitled
to use them. The agricultural depart
ment, for instance, would make a re-
QUESTION for those it needed. The num-
Der used during a year would indicate
roughly how much the carriage of it's
matter had cost the postofice depart
ment, and reimbursement would be pos
sible and proper. Every department
should pay for the mail service rendered
it. IF chat were done there would be
postal surpluses instead of deficits, and
there would be more force to the re-
quest for lower postage rates.
We should know, also, about what the
cost is of the much abused franking
privilege. There would be better idea
of the extent of the abuse. When that
was learned we could agitate intelli-
gently for reform.-Chicago Tribune.

FOUND DEAD ON TRACK.
Henry Overman Thought to Be From
Kenosha Killed at Lockport.

Press dispatches from Lockport,
New York today declare that man
by the name of Henry Overman, about
thirty years of age and supposed to be
from Kenosha met his death in rail
way accident at that city on Wednesday
morning. It is supposed that the man
was riding on the top of a car when he
fell between the wheels. The body was
terribly mangled. It was taken to
Lockport and is being held there pend
ing the location of relatives of the
dead man. The name of Overman does
not appear in the City directory, and
no trace of the dead man or his rela-
tives has been found in Kenosha. 1t is
thought that the officials at the New
York City must have made an error in
stating the home Of the dead man.

Harry Err, ALA, Harry En-
olos, Wanted Here for En-
bezzlement is Arrested
DEFRAUDED CATHOLIC ORDER

Harry Err, alias Harry Endres, want
ed in Kenosha on charges of embezzle-
ment and for whom a warrant was
issued in February of this year was
arrested in Chicago on Wednesday by
Chief of Police, Owen O'Hare and de-
tectives from the Harrison street sta
tion but he is still in Chicago and has
refused to come to Kenosha without ex-
tradition papers. The hearing was TAX
en- up at the Harrison Street police
court in Chicago Wednesday and the
hearing continued for week. In the
meantime the Kenosha county officials
will make regular application to the
Governor Of Wisconsin to secure extra
dition papers on which Err may be
brought back to Kenosha for trial
Err was formerly an agent for the
Benedictine Convent Of the Sisters of
the Perpetual Alteration, a Catholic or
der and he worked for some time in
Kenosha. Frank Oberst, the represen-
tative of the Sisters in this section of
the state made the complaint charging
him with embezzlement The warrant
was placed in the hands of the police
in February and they have been on
the trail of the man ever since 1t is
alleged that Err is also wanted in other
cities. When Err came to Kenosha he
gained an entrance into many of the
best German families of the city. He
was man Of excellent appearance and
seemed to be devoted to the work Of
the, sisterhood. He worked here for
the better part of two weeks and in
that time made collections in the name
of the order which according to the
complaint amounted to more than $3.50.
Then Err disappeared and later he was
learned to have worked the same scheme
in Waukegan and in some portions of
Chicago Members of the Sisterhood
afterward came to Kenosha and after
visit with the people who had been
taken in by Err insisted that the man
be prosecuted and Oberst swore out the
complaint against him.
Err is admitted to be man Of high
educational attachments and he is fully
aware of the nature of the charges
against him. After his arrest he re-
fused to discuss the charges against him
but insisted that he would be ready to
make q defense at the time of the adj
journed date set for the hearing.

WOULD EXTEND EDUCATION
Kenosha School Head Urges Women Of
the State to Aid in Movements For
Z More Practical Education in the
State.

MIS-. MARY IL. Brdulofu, 0upeI1AteHu-
ent of the schools Of Kenosha contrib
uted an interesting feature to the first
days session of the Wisconsin FEEDER
alton of Woman S Clubs at Oshkosh this
morning in her report as chairman OF
the Committee on Education of the
Federation. Mrs. Bradford found it i'm
possible to be present and make her
report in person on account of the de-
mands on her time by the schools of
Kenosha, but the report was reduced
to print and copy of it placed in the
hands of each of the delegates to the
convention.
Mrs. Bradford in her report urges the
club women of the state to take a
more active interest in the schools Of
the state and urges upon them the
necessity Of discussing both in their
club meetings and in their homes the
| necessity of the extension of the, prac-
! tical features of educational work. She
declares that the club women Of tho
various cities in the state have it in
their power to do much to mould pub
lie sentiment in favor of education.
She refers to the work being done by
Wisconsin schools along the lines of
manual training, domestic economy and
other work that is particularly benefc-
ial to homes and home making and urges
that the members of the various clubs
affiliated with the federation take up
these questions in their home cities
and seek to. create a sentiment which
will bring results by the extension of
the school curricuiums. Mrs. Bradford
in her report also touches on the i'm
portant problem of securing a higher
standard of morality in the schools and
urges the members of the federation to
seek to show to the people of the state
the value of higher education. The
report of the committee was one of the
most important reports presented to
the club women and it is certain that
some action will be taken by the feder-
alton which will lead the club women
of the state to aid local school boards
in securing better advantages for the
education of the children of the state.
The present convention of the Wis
consin Federation promises to be the
most important ever held by the club
women of the state. At the opening re-
eeption given by the members of the
Oshkosh club on Wednesday evening
more than 200 visiting club women were
present and it is expected that the at.
tendance will be largely increased to-
day. The delegates from the Kenosha
club are Mrs. George II. Eddy and Mrs
Roger n. Kimball and Mrs. James Cav.
anagh and Mrs. Harry Skinkle are also
attending the club sessions.
The convention of the federation will
continue in session until SATURDAY.
Many important questions are to be
taken up during the convention.

are completed Kenosha county will have
at Least one north AMI south roadway
as good as any in the state and this
roadway will extend beyond the borders
of the county on each side to Waukegan

Improvement of this lake shore road
will take care of one of the worst roads
in the county and with this object les

them it is expected that the residents
of all sections of the county will go in
heavily for scientific highway construc-
ton in the next two or three years.

SHIP FISH BACK TO WISCONSIN,
Fish From the Government Hatchery
Will Be Sent to Kenosha Later to
Restock Lake Michigan AT This
Point.

B. G. Phillips of Worthwhile, Mich,
one of the men in charge of the great
fish hatchery under the control of the
United States government at North
vile, is in Kenosha seeking trout spawn
in Lake Michigan to take to the gov
eminent hatchery. The tug Engel Of
the local fishing fleet has been employ
ed by the government to assist in Sc
curing this spawn and great cans of
the spawn are being shipped from Ke-
nosha daily. The fishing is done under
a permit from the Wisconsin state game
warden and the men in charge of the
tug getting the spawn are entitled to
sell the fish caught. On this account
the Engel, Notwithstanding the fact
that this is the closed season for trout
is daily making large catches.
Mr.. Phillips in speaking Of the work
that is being done by the government
to maintain the supply of fish in the
lake said: "We feel that we are doing
good work in stocking the lakes with
trout. We raise at the Worthwhile
hatchery every year in the neighborhood
of sixty million small trout and many
of these are shipped back to Wisconsin
and placed in the lake here. The
spawn taken from Lake Michigan has
proven excellent for use in the federal
hatchery and we can show that so per
cent of the spawn is Matched while in
the lake statistics show that not more
than three per cent of the spawn ever
natures. The work of the hatchery is
being carried ON at several points and
at the present time we have tugs gath
ering spawn at Racine, Kenosha and
Waukegan. When the young fish are
Matched they will be shipped to these
various points along the lake and
planted. We have watched the results
of this work for several years and are
convinced that the work of restocking
the lakes is doing great deal of good
for the fishing industry. None of the
spawn taken from the lake here is sent
to the Wisconsin state hatcheries as it
is declared that the plan of sending it
to the government hatchery and ship
ping the fish back to Wisconsin has
proved a much better PLAN"
The work of gathering the spawn will
continue during the closed season.
