STRAY VERSE.

He used to hate the idle rich,
And often spoke with dread
About the fearful dangers which
Were looming up ahead;
He saw a time when blood would
flow,
And anarchy be rife;
But that was when his funds were
low
He had the luck year ago
To get wealthy wife.
He used to say the millionaires
Were blinded by their greed;
He thought the world and its af-
fairs
Were managed wrong, indeed;
He saw the time when class and
mass
Would wage a bloody strife,
When chaoes would prevail Alas!
Since then change has come to
pass;
He has a wealthy wife
He cannot understand today
Why those who toll complain;
The ills he feared are cleared away,
No signs of strife remain.
Content to let things drift along,
He livnC on aocv Iifa
Forgetting, if sometimes the strong
Cypress the weak, that it is wrong;
He has wealthy wife.

COUNTY OWNS IT'S
OWN TELEPHONE

With the exception of one county
in Texas, Churchill county is the
oEIs county in the United States
that owns and operates a telephone
system. The ownership of the sys.
tenn now in use in this county was
an unattractjve proposition for a
corporation but outside commune
cation was none the less nee ssary
for those who then lived here Ac-
cordinglf, special Legislative act
was passed giving the power Of
building md operating tele acne
system 70 the board of commls:i IN
ers of this county.
Since that time, however, the sys-
tenn has grown until today it would
be an attractive investment for COR
poration, but the scheme of turning
it over to company has met with
considerable opposition in some
quarters In still other quarters
there are those who profess to
think that the line would give bet
ter results both to the subscriber
and owner, if it was owned and
operated by corporation.
With the county just starting on
substantial and rapid growth,
many new invocations are necessary,
if the county telephone system is
to be maintained as highly eff
cient system. Standard.

PrApolpaI Events Gathered II The
Oh SoandAnaNkan Countries

A serio-comical incident. When King
Gustaf Of Sweden visited the interna-
tional tourist exposition in Berlin the
managers Of the exposition were SO po-
lite as to cover up the sign showing
the Norwegian department. The Ger
mans wished to save the king from be-
ing reminded of the Norwegians, who
broke loose from Sweden in 1905. The
Norwegians admit that the swedes
had nothing to do with the scheme.
But the Norwegian press has gone so
far az to propose that the Norwegians
withdraw from the exposition as pro-
test against the humiliation to which
they were subjected The Aftenpost-
en-. Kristiania, Norway. says: "The
German gentlemen would not have
dared to offer such disgrace to Eng
land or France. The great nations
look down upon the small ones with
Unreasonable haughtiness. We can.
not recall single instance of the flag
OF Norway being subjected to such an
lnd1gnity as this" The Malmotidnin-
gen. Malmo, Sweden, says: *In Swe-
den the sympathies are wholly on the
side of the German exposition commits
sioners. AS the Swedes were not per-
m1tted to give the Norwegians sound
drubbing in 1905 it is always pleasing
to see others give them a little les
son and remind them of their little
ness"

FINLAND.

American millers are much afraid
that duty on foreign flour entering Fin
land will shortly be imposed. Formal
application to the senate to this effect
has already been made and, this has
come from certain Finnish mills in
Wiborg provinces. A resolution has
also been passed by the Russian chan-
Der of exporters at St. Petersburg, adj
vocating such measure. Under the
customs arrangements between Russia
md Finland flour is one of the artt-
cles passing in free from Russia into
Finland. Hitherto foreign Hour and
millstuffs have also been admitted
free, but, in the event that the above
application be granted, the Finnish
market will become a preserve for
Russian mlllers. That the request
will be granted there is little doubt.

Winona.-Whether or not former
Congressman James A. Tawney con-
tinues his residence in Winona is de-
pendent entirely upon the nature of
his new duties on the International
boundary waters commission. Mr..
Tawney yesterday denied that he has
been contemplating the purchase of a
home in Minneapolis or even that he
had thought of such a matter.
my future work is as much I'M
known to me as it is to those friends
who are interesting themselves in re-
gard to my future residence" said Mr..
Tawney. Il am anxious to resume the
practice of law and if the work on the
commission does not require all of
my time, intend to again become a
fullfedged lawyer. In that event
may leave Winona for a f1~ld where
the law business will be more profit
able than in Winona. But, Il course,
that Is a matter that the future must
decide and I am not anxious to have
Winona."
Mr.. Tawney received his first appli-
cation since his appointment to the
boundary commission. It came from
the Erie Sanitary Canal company and
seeks privileges and water rights along
the line of the Canadian boundary be-
tween Lake Erie and Lake Ontario in
New York. The Winona commissioner

chairman of the waterways commits
sion created by the 1909 legislature
declares that, while he would for 9
while nominally continue In that capac
1ty. he did not intend to '.spend two
more years sacrificing his time and
money. The resolution creating the
waterways commission provided that
they should serve without pay, but
Colonel Davidson put in bill for S..
040.70, Of which $500 was for salary
and the balance for expenses. The
bill passed the House, but the Senate
committee trimmed it down, and then
1T was lost on account Of the adjourn
ment Of the Senate through the mis-
take of a clerk. =
Colonel Davidson also attributes the
failure of the Senate to pass the bill
to the influence of attorneys for the
water power companies, which were
fighting the Spooner water supply bill.
which Colonel Davidson drafted. He
said that he has put all his time and
energy into the work during the last
two years and consequently is poor
man now.
Ralph w. Wheelock, secretary to
the governor, said that the work done
by Colonel Davidson during the past
two years was entirely voluntary and
that the position Of chairman of the
commission was only nominal. He
added, however, that the governor felt
that he was morally obligated to help
the colonel in getting back his ex-
penses, and that efforts would be made
to compensate the chairman of the
waterways commission by August l.
at least for part of his expenses.

but the second attempt was success

which rose while the hands of fire per-

mystery. Between the three legs OF
the table was seen foot holding il

The picture was taken with stereos

gave the seance, made q long but very

deny that cheating had taken place.
but he was the one that was cheated
by Mr.. Lyngs. He claimed collision

NORWAY.

The Vfvestad church, annex Of
Ramnes. was destroyed by fire. The
fire started in barn belonging to Mr..
Grassland, the precentor, and from this
It was carried to the church, which
was reduced to ashes In about an
hour. The church was four-hundred

piece, the pulpit, and the baptisma1
font were saved, but the organ, which
was new, could not be removed.
Hammerfest, the northernmost city

war. The city authorities decided to
close the retail liquor stores at six
o'clock in the evening. But the po-

same light, and the anti-saloon people
got up demonstration. A large
crowd Of people marched thru the
streets under banner with the mot
to: Down with the Drinks! We De-
mand the Enforcement of the City Or
d1nance!" The procession was head
ed by the president Of the city council
and the principals Of the schools. The
chief of police had prohibited demon
strations and addresses in front of the
liquor stores, but the people threat
ened to throw him into the sea.
1t is proposed that three ships of the
American squadron visit Bergen on its
trip to Europe: The Kristiania Yer.
dens Gang makes some curious COM
ments on this plan. Why not visit
Kristiania? Such a visit would be a
token of the good feelings existing be-
tween the two countries. Then the
paper proceeds to give the following
explanation. The competitive strug-
gle seems to be dragging Norway into
the swirl of international political cal
culations, and in case of naval war be-
tween the two powers the waters off
Bergen are very apt to be the scene
of the decisive clash between the two
navies. "The North American navy"
says the paper, "numbers among it's
officers the greatest of the naval STRAIT
egists of our day, Admiral Mahon.
and this explains why Bergen is pre-.
ferred to Kristiania. The numerous
officers of the battleships shall have
a chance to make preliminary study
of the future theater of war, which
Germany is blowing thru with her
best ships and men,"
kilograms from London state that
Captain Road Amundsen is no less
than eight months ahead of Captain
Scott in the race for the South Pole
This is inferred from kilograms about
the arrival of Fran, Amundsen's ship,

10. Amundsen sent a message with
the ship, but he did not date it. In this
he says: II landed on the Antartic ice
barrier with eight men, 115 dogs, and
provisions and fuel for two years
The station is Is degrees, "a minutes
south and 352 degrees west. We be-
gin to push south when the Fran
leaves. All is we'll" The London
Daily Mail says that Amundsen's plan
is the most comprehensive in the his.
tory Of polar explorations. AS far as
can be found out, Amundsen started
In February, which in the southern
hemisphere corresponds to the month
of August In the northern hemisphere
that is to say, near the close of the
short Antartic summer. This means
that his expedition will have to NEE:
unknown dangers during the Antarctic
winter with its continual night.
