STEPHENS HAS
HOT CONTEST
POLK COUNTY CENTER OF BAT
TIE ROYAL OVER COUNTY oP.
TON lssuE-sAUesTAp, AFTER
BEING DEFEATED IN PRIMARIES
IS RUNNING ON sTlcKERs.

A dispatch from Crookston says:
One of the hottest campaigns ever
waged in Polk county came to an end
last night, and those interested in the
fight win wait as patiently as possible
for the final results. County option
has been the big issue. not only in
Polk county, but throughout the state.
and both sides are anxiously awaiting
the final decision of the people. Aft
er the primary results were in, both
county optionists and liquor men
claimed a victory, and it will be in
teresting to learn just what the re-
suit is.
In Polk county the only fight of any
interest is that between stephens and
Saugstad for the senate. The latter
was defeated in the primaries, Steph-
ems winning over him by very small
majority. Saugstad has adopted the
'sticker' method now, and hopes to
defeat the anticipation candidate to-
day. Some of the Stephen followers
are Of the opinion that Saugstad will
be defeated by a large majority, but
nevertheless they are all on the anx-
ious seat and have been working hard
since the primaries.
Another important proposition the
voters Of Polk county will have to de-
eide today is that Of whether Polk
shall be made into two counties or
not. This proposition has been voted
down before, but, inasmuch as very
little has been said concerning 1t dur
ing the compaign, it is hard to say
what the general opinion is.
In the governorship fight, Polk
county will undoubtedly go for Eber-
hart. AS in the Polk county fight the
option question has been the big issue
In the fight for governorsh1p. Eber-
mart refused to take up the county
option cause when he was nominated,
and at the state convention of the
democratic party, a county option
plank was kept out of their platform.
When James Gray was nominated for
governor on the democratic ticket
however. he Immediately declared
himself for county option, and since
then the real fight has been on this
issue. County optionists throughout
the state will poll a large vote for
Gray, and, while the republicans are
confident of winning by a good major
ity, it is hard to say how the fight
will go.

N. D. SHERLOCK HOLMES
Lutte Prader of New Rockford Turns
a Trick Worthy of the Old
Sleuth.

%ew Rockford Transcript: Monday
morning when Lutte Prader went out
to the barn to hitch up his horse
preparatory to do a full days stunt
behind the plows, he found that some
one had entered his barn and taken
therefrom one of his sets of harness
and a fine shot gun, and having neg
lected to ask Lutzie's permission to do
so, put the owner up in the air." and
he proceeded to do stunt at detective
work which would have made Sherlock
Holmes sit up and take notice Find
ing place in the treets where some
i one had hitched, Lutte proceeded to
critically examine the marks and i'm
mediately reached the conclusion that
the pilferer had arrived there-and
also departed-in a two wheeled cart
drawn by small red pony with sad
die marks on the right side and an
offish cast in the left eye. He imme-
diately mounted his trusty automobile
and followed the tracks made in the
frost which headed due south-the
tracks did. After going a short dis
lance, however. the miscreant had
doubled on his tracks and headed for
town. Lutte Immediately put spurs to
to the Herbison & Roush barn with
as unerring a point as a full blooded
hound. Here he found another link
In the chain, which indicated that the
end of his search lay about eighteen
miles northest-or, to be exact, about
the early settlers picnic grounds
4 Again mounting his trusty steed and
taking Al. Barry, the bravest of the
brave, on his crupper, he proceeded to
hit for the camp of the degenerate who
without the fear of God in his heart,
had despoiled him of his treasure.
\ His excellent deductions were amply
ivindicated when he and his trusty
henchman formed a hollow square
around the tent occupied by the refu-
gee and demanded his surrender. Re-
ceiving no answer. the hollow square
closed up and the tent was found UNI
occupied. the owner being away look
ing after his traps, the aforesaid being
also engaged in trapping. The harness
was found intact, but the gun was
not in evidence A well planned am
bush was laid for the enemy and upon
his return he was captured without the
/ loss of man or a drop OF blood. Being
caught with the goods, the guilty party
said he had given another party Sc
to secure the booty-which f1imsy ex-
cuse hardly held water Not being
armed with warrant Lutte made the
man put up a cash bond of $25 to
bring back the missing gun-but up
to date he has not appeared, and Lut-
4 zie has a faint suspicion that Eddy
county will see him no more and, as
SIS is about double the value of the
gun, he thinks he's nothing out for his
strenuous detective service.
The articles were stolen between Z
and 8 O'Clock Sunday evening and Lut-
zie came back with the harness at 7
O'Clock Monday evening, which is some
speedy work.

PASSENGERS ON
WRECKED TRAIN
give A CONCERT

How the passengers on a west
bound Milwaukee train made the best
of a. tedious delay caused by the
wrecking of freight train, was told
by a Minneapolis man in a letter to
his family
The wreck occurred on the Puget
Sound extension, near the Dakota
Montana line. Twenty freight cars
ed down a thirty-foot embankment.
There were several cars of live stock
including cattle sheep, hogs and an
eight-deck poultry car containing
about 5000 chickens. Some OF the
livestock was killed outright, some
were desperately wounded, and some
were released unframed and roamed
at will over the plains. This was true
of the chickens, and that part of the
country, according to the Minneapolis
man, will probably never be SO dense
ly populated with poultry again.
There were also many cars of mis-
cellaneous merchandise, all tumbled
together There were all the goods of
a country store, with beer kegs and
pianos besides.
The passenger train arrived at the
scene of the wreck early in the morn
ing and about o'clock a gang Of
italian laborers arrived to help the
passengers and their belongings
around the wreck to makeup train
the other side. The transfer entailed
a walk Of about a half mile around
the wrecked cars.

cording to the Minneapolis traveller.

STARVING OLD SOLDIERS

WASHINGTON, May 2o-(Spe- cial Correspondence ) - Although the colossal sum of $. .ooo, 900 is carried by the sundry civil appro- priation bill for the maintenance of soldiers homes, the Republicans are forcing the old soldiers of the nation to subsist on from II to II cents worth of food per day.
 An inspector of the war depart rsent reported that the food in the soldiers homes was no more in quantity than that supplied to pri- soners in the federal penitentiaries.
 An idea of the wasteful methods employed in conducting the homes may be had from the fact that al- though the cost of maintenance more than doubled in the 10 years between 1898 and 1908, the num- Der of soldiers cared for had in- creased but 7 per cent.
 Let your imagination spread this outlay of IA cents over a days food supply, suggested Represent ative Cox of Ohio, "and you have an accurate picture ot how the na- tion's heroes are being fed. Ob- serve the evening meal, and you will appreciate what it was that moved Inspector Brewster to pity, and inspired bis recommendation that there be at least bowl of milk added to the scant evening fare"

BAD INFLUENCE 0F OR|ENTALS ChInkS Employed by Fish Trust
 PO|lute Natives SHOULD NOT BE ALLOWED HERE
Report Insued by Bureau of Education 6Tes Some Unpleasant Facts Regard- ing Methods of the Fish Trust, and Effect on Indians

According to Dr. De Vighne, who has just made his report to the United States bureau of education, Indian women are not only the vic tins of white cannery employees. The report gives several instances .of young girls who were victims of Chinese employed in the canneries. The following is an extract from the report:
 The large number of Chinese laborers imported into Alaska each summer by the cannerymen are adding their full measure to the general demoralization of the In- dians Many native women seek employment i'll the Canneries while the men arc away fishing There is no restraint whatever placed over the Chinese in their relationship or conduct toward these women, who are in a sense unprotected. Pre- ierment ill employment, silk scarf and a little Chinese gin introduce a drama which subsequently, ends in Ia venereal infection, disrupted homes, neglected children and total depravity.
 "During the fishing season it is customary for the Canneries 10 pay the Indians for fish or labor in small metallic disks. good only for lace value in merchandise at the company store, until the season s end. The natives are not inclined to value these pieces of aluminium as real money, so tend 10 exchange them as soon as received for articles from the store having a more in- trinsic value or which appeal more directly to their senses. Economy Is thus discouraged and the will ingness with which they are ex- tended credit while at work added to this system ot payment, leaves many of them destitute when the final accounting comes at the sea- sons end. The presence O. some one to whom the natives could con- tideutly turn for assistance and ad. vice during their summer residence at the Canneries would have a wholesome effect on the extensive immortality and extravaganza which is almost universal at this time and is worthy Of careful consideration. |"

THE LATE CAPT, HEALY

The story of Capt. John J. Healy is pathetic. It is another of those grim tragedies of the Northland. At one time the central figure of the commercial activity in the North; then just beginning to shape itself for great things; a recognized man of affairs and worth probably over million-his body now lies in an undertaker's vault in Los Angeles and no money on hand to pay his funeral expen- SeS.
 Surviving relatives refuse to assume the expense, and it has been decided to pass a subscrip- tion paper among the sour doughs of Alaska. No matter what the cause of the downfall of the former industrial captain from ai1Iuence to abject poverty; no matter how arbitrary and domineering he may have been to those with whom he came in contact in life, it is certain that his burial expenses will be forth, coming from Alaskans, when they are satisfied that the facts as stated in the dispatch are true.
 Capt. Healy's story suggests to Us the need of an Alaskan Historical society. It should be formed by the pioneer associa- tlons now organized in the var iOus camps. It should have a paid secretary who should make it his business to gather data about the pioneers of Alaska, the same as is done in different states outside. No doubt we could secure a federal appropri- ation towards it's support. Pion- eer history grows dinner with the passing of years, and unless

GOOD MINE NEAR VALDEZ

A rich mine is being opened ur on Valdez bay. This is known as the Cliff mine. There is a three. stamp mill on the property, and less than two weeks run of the mill produced 365 ounces, or over 30 ounces a day.
 The first cleanup gave a return of 36o ounces for eighteen days run, so the output seems to be steady, indicating unifor mity of the ore.
 The first installment of S6o ounces was sent 10 the Seattle as- say office, but returns on it have not been received yet. The mine product will be sent there as fast AS taken out.
 Sixteen men are now employed in mine and mill at the Cliff.
 The ore is taken from the lower tunnel by stoping to the upper tunnel. The tunnel is in 300 feet.

Careful inquiry brings out the fact that all of the per sons mentioned in the story em- phatically deny having received such letter. And Roosevelt de clares that he did not write any thing that could have with req son been so construed.

GREAT SPEECH BY CHAMP CLARK Leader Proves Tariff Has

5anuHnCss System Which Allows Trusts to Sell Goods B Foreigners at Prices Lower Than Ara Charged to Americans. Scores Department of JuSt3s

WASHINGTON, May (Spe- cial Correspondence )-The Payne Aldrich- Shoot tariff revision was upward!
 It was upward by approximately f.7I per cent,
 It has already resulted in increas- ed prices all along the linel
 Thus did Champ Clark of Mis- souri, leader of the Democrats in the house of representatives, thun- der his reply to the speeches of President Tatt and other Republi can leaders who have attempted to feed the public on the assertion that the Pavne-Aldrich bill Twas the best tariff bill" ever passed.
 Mr. Clark's speech had been carefully prepared. It was a com pIete and effective answer to the countless bald misrepIesentations that have been manufactured by the Republicans, who are desperately in need oi campaign material O. any sort for use in the approaching con- gressional elections.
 The minority leader denounced the proposed appropriation of $780, 900 of the peoples money for the purpose Of enabling the Republi- cans to gather data with which to prove that the tariff law is a God send to the country.
 He denounced the joker in the sugar schedule. He deplored a condition which permits the steel trust and other monopolies to sell their manufactured products cheap CT to foreigners than Americans. In short. MT. Clark s speech will go down as one Of the great Democrat ic keynotes of this session of con gress.
 "It is true, admitted Mir. Clark, that we reduced the duty on lun- Der, and that the lumber trust marked up the price Of lumber SI per thousand feet before the last Of us got out of Washington. And if the department of justice had done its duty it would by this time have filled the jails so full of lum- Der trust magnates that their arms and legs would stick out at the windows and the doors.

 My Democratic brethren, at last, after hard trials and great tribulations, thank God we stand here shoulder to shoulder, heart to heart, solid as stone wall. inspired by the hopes of coming victory. Democrats are getting together everywhere, while the Republican party presents to the astonished gaze of men the appearance of dissolving view.
