Wins 100000 Feet Log
Contract By Flip Of Coin.

Settling the letting of a con-
tract for logging upwards of 90
100000 feet of logs by the flip
of coin was the novel expert
ence which occurred at the Cass
Lake Offices of the J. Neils Lum-
Der company yesterday. George
Cochran and John Goss, veteran
loggers had put in bids for do
ing the work and when they
were opened both bids were ex-
actly the same and the lumber
company, together with the log
gers were at a loss to devise some
means to decide who should get
the contract. Finally it was de-
cided to flip a dollar, Mr.. Coch-
ran chose "heads" and won, and
was awarded the contract. This
timber lies on Long Lake, seven
miles north of Cass Lake and the
contract calls for putting in ten
million the coming winter and
the other half next winter. About
$50 men will be employed in the
camps and Mr.. Cochran is al
ready making arrangements for
starting on his winters work.

St. Paul, Mimi, Sept 22.-Re-
turns compiled here at noon today
from the Canadian provinces indicat-
ed that while the defeat of recipro-
city at the election yesterday was
decisive, the lead of the Conserva-
-anti-reciprocity- not ex-
coed a majority of Al in the next
parliament.
By veritable political landslide
the liberal majority of 43 was swept
away and the conservative party Sc
cured one of the heaviest majorities
that any Canadian party ever had.
Seven cabinet ministers, who had
served with Premier Laurier, were
among the defeated candidates.
Liberals Lose Everywhere.
The liberals lost ground PRACTICAL
ly in every province of the dominion.
Where they won, their majorities
were small. Where the conserva-
tives won their majorities were tre-
mendous. Ontario, the leading pro-
vince of Canada. declared almost I'M
animously against the administra-
ton and reciprocity. Robert L. Bor-
den, leader of the conservative party,
will shortly become prime minister
of Canada. He will be supported in
parliament by working majority of
mem bers, far more than ample for
Means Doom Of Reciprocity.
The government defeat means that
the Fielding-Knox reciprocity agree
ment, ratified by the American con-
gress in extra session, will not be
introduced, when the twelfth par
lament assemblies next month, and
that revised basis of trade with the
United States, looking to closer COM
in the Immediate future. The con-
servatives are committed to the pol
icy of trade expansion within the en-
pire and a closed door against the
United States.
Laurier Admits Defeat.
"There is no doubt that we have
been decisively defeated" declared
Sir Wilfrid Laurier at Quebec. II
gladly lay down the premiership bur-
den. which I have carried for fifteen
years. We believed that in making
the reciprocity arrangement we had
done something which would be
greatly to the benefit of the people
of Canada The electors have de-
clared otherwise, and bow to their
decision. I regret that we have been
unable to carry reciprocity, which I
still believe would have promoted the
material advancement of Canada and
would have promoted a growing
friendship between the United States
and Great Britain. However, the
country has spoken. We must bow
to the inevitable and 1 cheerfully do
so.' ...... I'LL.

Bemidji as a feature of the market
day program on October IL.
Cupid, j.. viewing with alarm the
high cost of living, sent darts
int the hearts of certain
young couple, and this young cou-
pie promptly called up A. P. Richie,
chairman of the agricultural COM
mittee of the Commercial club, and
admitted their desire to be welded

see that ! the young folks are prop

J. J. Opsahl was present and sug-

SHOULD NOT BE srAMPeoED.

SHOULD NOT BE STAMPEDED.
Stralghtway following election the
big packers have announced that there
is going to be gradual decline in live
stock prices. Since the wish in this
case Is father to the suggestion, be-
cause 1t will enable them to buy heav
lily on declining market and thus en-
large their proflts-and they seem
abundantly able to carry out their
wishes--lt is fair to assume that the
decline In prices will follow. Yet the
less the feeders Of the country are
stampeded by the announcement and
the less they yield to a very natural
impulse to rush their stuff to a de-
moralized market the more money they
will save in the end and the less will
the packers profit by the coup which
they have sprung There can be a de-
cline OF $3.50 per hundredwoight from

he can do so would far better hold his
hogs and steers, especially IL they are
unfinished, and sell them few weeks
later, when there Is reason to believe
that the market will have steadied
from the present furry. There are
just as many hungry mouths to feed
now as before election, and there is
every reason to believe that the legtti-
mate demands for meat products will
be just as strong as they have been

THE VALUE OF oILMEAL

While It is high priced as compared
with other cereal feeds, oilmeal Is the
most valuable of the whole list as a
means OF furnishing stock with pro

grades contain 80 per cent or slightly
better OF digestible protein, and II is
because of this fact that Il is worth
the high price asked for It. OF the
two brands OF kinds Of meal-old and
new process-the former is cheaper at
the same price because "a per cent OF
the protein content is digestible, while
in new process meal but "a per cent
is digestible. Mature fattening cattle
may be given from two to two and
half pounds per day, while with grow
ing young stock and pigs Il may con-
stitute one-tenth by weight of the
grain ration. Dairy cows viii handle
from one to two pounds daily. de-
pending upon their milk flow. II is
the opinion Of animal husbandry ex.

which has so beneficial an effect on
the animals eating II ms does oilmeal.

grains, II Is the most economical ra.

MONEY IN ouAck GRASS LANDS.

About the last section Of the country
which one would think might be boom
ed by the real estate agent would seem
to be locality IN which quack grass
had gained foothold, and yet the ex-
perience of one Minnesota farmer,
whose case was related to us directly
the other day, would seem to indicate
that here was an opening for some en-
ergetic as well as patriotic real estate
agent. The man in question lives in
the vicinity of New Richland, MINI, d
section which has been afflicted with
quack, more or less--quite likely more
severely for the past fifteen or eight
cen years. He cleared one eighty Of
the pest several years ago, and by
dint of much vigilance has succeeded
in keeping 1t clean. A year ago last
August he bought another eighty adj
joining the home place, which had
been given over to quack grass for the
preceding ten years. He paid 81 900 for
it, or $25.75 per acre. Although il was
late In the season before he could get
at 1t, he plowed forty acres Of it early
In October, raked it with special
quack rake and burned the roots. Next
he went over the piece with a quack
root digger, gathering and burning all
the roots which 1t was possible to
reach. The next spring he planted
corn on about twelve acres, oats on
third and wheat on the remainder
This fall he husked 300 bushels Of fine
corn from this twelve acres, and we
know he did because we got the ng
ures straight and nave sample Of the
corn before us. 1t is better corn than
that raised on land which has been
free from quack for years. He will
tackle the other forty acres infested
with the grass next season, and he
figures that when he has given It the
same treatment as he has the first
forty he will not care to sell the eighty
for less than 5000, and If 1t is free
from the pest II ought to be worth this
price. 1t goes without saying that a
fellow with habby muscles short in
red blood or Taking in courage will
hardly want to tackle the redemption
Of this quack grass land, yet we be-
lieve there is a first class opportunity
for the fellow who is made of the
right stun to get good farm land at
low price. If he redeemed the land

Some experiments which have been
conducted the past four years by the
Ohio Agriculture college to determine
what sized and shaped ears will on the
average produce the most corn per
acre while not entirely conclusive, pre-
sent some interesting facts. First it
was found that long ears produced
391 bushels per acre more than shorter
and deeper kerneled ears; that seed
from ears with bare tips produced
more corn per acre the first year than
from ears that were well filed, but
that In succeeding years the seed from
well filled ears yielded from 10 to
Z bushels per acre more. 1t was also
found during a period Of Ave years
that crease dented corn produced 2.s4
bushels more per acre than rough dent.

There are now and then occasions

this true in equity cases, where prop
