FINNISH AMERICAN.
Company's Mines in Finland Have
Variety of Products.


Coming from the Old World to the
New in search of fortune is a common
thing. but it is uncommon that men
should. after doing that, turn back to
the Old World for their fortune, says
the Duluth Herald. But that is what is
being done by the stockholders OF the
Finnish-American Mining company,
the directors Of which organization
held an annual meeting yesterday in
the offices Of Attorneys 0. J. Larson
and John Saari in the Lonsdale build
ing.
Dwight Z. Woodbridge Of Duluth
has examined the properties of the
Finnish-American company and he
says Of them many complimentary
things in the report he made a year
ago. The annual report submitted to
the directors yesterday bears out in
every visible detail the predictions and
optimism of the expert and gives rea-
sonable basis for the expectations OF
the stockholders.
The Finnish-American company is
peculiar. in that it's stock is not for
sale 1t has never been listed any
where, and never will be. SO far as the
present stockholders are concerned. 1t
is purely an investment enterprise. and
most of the investors are residents of
Minnesota and the Michigan Copper
country.
Copper. lead and zinc are the prod
ucts Of the mine. Then there are farms
and timber, covering an area Of 400
acres, owned by the company. Besides
these there arc mills and works Of diff
ferent kinds.
Somewhat reminiscent Of the mines
of King Solomon is this Finnish Amer
lean enterprise. and the fancy is borne
out by the fact that a trace of gold is
encountered. now and then in the prop
critics.
More than 100 years ago this mining
enterprise was worked prohtably. At
that time men did not know how to
work the mines as they know today,
and the result is that in the dump heap
are vast quantities OF valuable ores
which will be realized upon through
the agency OF the concentration plant
that is being built by the company.
Shafting is being put in without a
hitch and so rapidly is the work pro-
crossing that IL will not be long be-
fore the Finnish-American company
win be doing a lucrative, prosperous
business, in the opinion of the men
who are watching every step forward
that is made. .

May Organize Permanently as Auxil-

A number of the aKrnivaI Knight
officials said at noon that they ara
strongly in favor of enlisting the
members of the order in the work
of the Commercial club by forming
an auxiliary organization.
1T could be called the KarnivaI

club" said C. B. Burge, chairman of
the executive committee of TX. X"
and I believe that the fellows will be
enthusiastic over the idea. There is
q great deal of work that the men
could do to assist the Commercial
club in building up Topeka-work
that they would take real pleasure in
DOING
The idea is not to make the dues
so large that it would be strain on
the pocketbooks OF the young men, 1t
has been suggested that there are at
least 500 members of the present or
ganization who can be depended upon
to enlist as members of the perman-
ent organization.

pretentious thing of the kind that has
ever been held in the city. It also
was suggested that it would be a good
idea to get up an auditorium ball for
nidwinter, the proceeds to go to car

club
It was stated by C. B. Burge this
noon that the karniva1 parade Friday
night will be upwards of two miles
long.

THIS TRACT IS GOOD ONE.
Government Attests Success of One
Irrigation Project.

Washington, Sept. 13.-The success
which farmers are achieving on the
Huntley irrigation project in Montana,
was attested in a report just received
by the United States reclamation SER
vice, which shows 1925 an acre had
been realized from raising cucumbers.
One farmer, who turns what cucum-
bers he and some of his neighbors
raise. into pickles., has orders from
Montana towns for 81 carloads Of
these appetizers. The cucumber fields
besides being profitable in themselves
afford work for sugar beet laborers
when they are not employed in the
beet fields.
Seventeen new homestead filings
were made on the Huntley project
during the past month, leaving 1913
farms, mostly forty acre tracts, still
available for settlers
The report adds that $500 acres on
the Huntley project were planted to
sugar beets this year and that the
crop. which is now being harvested,
will be large.
Heavy yields in small grains are re-
ported but these returns are not yet
sufficient to give actual figures.

M d. Hammond, we'll known stock
raiser of Pawnee City, Neb., was found
unconscious in Rock Island box car
early this morning from compound
fracture of the skull He died two
hours later in Stormont hospital. Ham
mond had come to Topeka with a car
of exhibits for the state fair.
The car in which Hammond was rid
ing arrived in the Topeka yards at 2
O'Clock this morning over the Rock
Island. It was switched to the Santa
Fe tracks and the exhibits which the
car contained were to have been taken
to the fair grounds this morning.
AT o'clock a railway employee
opened the car door and found Ham
mond lying on the floor in q pool of
blood. Hammond was unconscious.
The left side of the mans head below
the ear was badly battered and he was

Hammond was hurried in an ambu-

died two hours later.
Not until after Hammond's death
were the county officials notified It is
said that the Nebraskan never regain

statement.
DR.. Mum today stated that he be-
lieved Hammond had been struck in
some manner while looking out of the
car door. He does not think that the
man encountered foul play, unless
there are reasons unknown to people
working on the case in Topeka.
That robbery was not an object for
attack on Hammond is evidenced by
the fact that S21 was found in his
pockets. Papers in the mans pocket
were not disturbed and from appear
ances the body was not molested after
Hammond was injured.
Officials in Pawnee City have been
notified of Hammond's death, but at

He was JaiIer When Sam Lappan
Escaped.

Jacob Orcutt is here. To the younger

nothing but to the people who were

Jake Orcutt came to Kansas in 1855.
He slept the first night in Topeka
where the federal building now stands.
He says that the members of his party
tramped down the prairie grass and
spread their blankets and enjoyed
good sleep in the open air He settled
on farm southwest of Topeka and
lived there till politics called him. He
was county jailer when Samuel Lap
pan, the state treasurer, under arrest
for embezzlement, was confined. One
morning Lappan was no longer in Jail
and no one ever knew what became of
him. Orcutt was blamed for the escape
but he says that Lappan had gone be-
fore he went on duty. He says that he
was released by a brother of the sheriff
but this fact was never established and
it has continued more or less of a
mystery. Mr.. Orcutt is now living at

Washington, Sept. 13.-The sketch
ing of military maps from an aero
plane is the latest achievement of the
United States army aviators who are
now in training at the governm ent's
aviation school at College Park, Nd
Lieut.. Leroy Kirkland, who is
sketcher of considerable ability, will be
the first to take up this work and this
week will fly over the country sur
rounding the aerodrome, making maps
of the territory
The camera already has been
brought in use for this purpose, but
for rapid military use this method is
considered a little slow. The sketcher
can make a map for use instantly after
a scouting trip and officers believe
this branch of the service will be val
liable in case of war. Lieutenant
Kirkland will be accompanied on his
trips by a brother officer, who will
navigate the aeroplane.
Considerable activity exists at the
army aerodrome at College Park.
There are half a dozen officers at
tached to the aviation corps and daily
flights for practice are taken. All the
