A LETTER FROM FLORIDA
The Goodwin and Peabody Fam
lilies are Enjoying the Winter
i'm the "Sunny south"

Lake Helen, Florida.
1t is due to the Reporter and Farmer
that l learned that Mr.. and Mrs. j. T..
Goodwin and DIR. and Mrs. II. A. Pea
body were to be at Tampa, Florida. |
wrote them at that place, the letter
was forwarded to st. Petersburg, and
last evening the party of old-time
friends and neighbors from South
Dakota arrived in this loveliest of south
ern hamlets. The doctor was quite i'll
at st. Petersburg, and was not enjoy
ing the trip as he would have done had
he been in better health. He is more
in need of rest than touring and sight
seeing, but his years of active life have
incapatiated him from restful ease,
though his physical condition demands
it.
This is the first winter have been in
Florida without some of my own family
with me, and the coming of these good
friends has brought a halo into my
home They will leave too soon for
st. Augustine, and then on to Home
land, Georgia, to visit friends for few
days, and to some of the larger cities
of Georgia, enroute to more northerly
points later.
! am positive that if they had come
to this high dry locality at first, where
the tall pines, fragrant flowers and lus-
cious fruits abound, they would not
have arranged to leave the state so
early. They found the latest copies of
the Reporter and Farmer here, and
read it eagerly to learn what had trans
pired in their absence. The "home
paper" gives the wanderer a great
appreciation of its Importance when
read two thousand miles from home.
To the friends who still hold me in
kindly remembrance | extend cordial
good wishes.

David Williams, a. r. Cooper

When David Williams, president of

Of the First National bank of that city,
he was, of course, very much impressed
With the vast amount of business which
vas done through the hank, particularly
b the coal and the grain line. But the
one thing that made the greatest
Impression upon him was the fact that
very once in while some lucky fell

was not even able to read and write,
would come in to cash check for two

titles from mining claim. Mr.. Will
Jams began investigating the iron

Ne gave the matter the more fully he
became convinced that he needed some
of them and that they were a splendid
Investment.
EveKy few weeks in one of the Twin
Cities, from the time David left Web
ster, he and John-during his life and
Cooper-officers of the bank would
meet and talk over business matters.
At each of these meetins, after he got
Interested in the iron mine land ques-
tion, he would explain it to John and
Cooper and try to make them see the
great opportunities which were offered
for investment. Those two gentlemen,
who had often before depended upon
bis business Judgment in other matters,
fnally told him that if he was so firmly
convinced that they were such a profit
able investment, to go and buy some
of them and they would take their share
of the DEAL
David heard of the Guyana iron
range, in Crow Wing county, Mime
sofa, went over and investigated the
conditions there and closed deal for
several quarter sections of land for
himself, his brother, John, and Cooper.
This land was allowed to lie idle until

Flattering Telegram to the

Last week Olaf Arneson. one of the

over the inducements offered by the
company for which C. L. Greer is the

very best mining properties in the state
of Minnesota. 1

very best mining properties in the state
of Minnesota.
To give he.reader some idea Of the
value of these properties, we will state
that Mr.. Carlson, who owns forty
acres next to and adjoining these
claims, has recently made deal with
the Inland Steel company for royalty
of fifty cents per ton upon all the ore
they take out of the mine, and they
guarantee him minimum annual roy
atty of $4,000. Remember this is one
forty, and the Williams Cooper combin-
alton have several forties and have
refused an offer of sixty cents per ton
royalty. These lands will thus be seen
to be of immense value, and the fore
sight of Mr.. David Williams mas pro-
badly put he and Mr.. Cooper and the
family of his brother, John, al upon
easy street.
In order that MIR. Williams and Mr.
Cooper can give more of their personal

have decided to close out their lumber
and elevator business, with the excep-
tian of here in Webster, and have in
fact already disposed of all their Ium-
Der yards except the one here, and
also of several of the elevators, and
will sell the remainder as soon as they
can lind purchaser at proper prices.
The parties interested will continue to
conduct the Farmers and Merchants
National bank here in Webster; also
the lumber and grain business, and Mr..
Cooper will give these his personal
attention. These gentlemen fully
appreciate that Webster is one Of the
very best business towns in the north:
west.
All Day county people win rejoice in
the splendid good fortune that has
come to these people through Dawes
foresight, and the only regret that any
will have is that John Williams could
not have been spared to enjoy the sue
cess.

new THREE-T DEADLOCK ON
Proposed Formation of Ten-Club
League Source of Trouble.
NoRTHERNERs FEAR THE CHANGE
Southern Clubs want Quincy and
Decatur Admitted, While North
ern Favor Cedar Rapids in
Case of Any IncreRse.

CHICAGO, March 30-The Three-I base
ball league will face another deadlock when
the members Of the eight clubs meet Fri
day, according to President Al Tearney
tonight The new rock on which he fears
a split will be the recommendation of
the National commission that a ten-club
league be formed for this season in order
to protect the interests of the quincy, ILL.,,
club.
Tearney fears the four northern clubs
either will take a stand against admitting
more clubs or will line up against the four
southern clubs over the identity of the
teams to be taken in.
The southern clubs, according to Tear
ney are prepared to work for the admis-
sion of quincy and Decatur. The northern
clubs. " they. vote to extend the league
in order to provide for Quincy are said to
be unit for Cedar Rapids, Ia This would
divide the strength Of the two sections.
Quincy being expected 20 vote with the
southern clubs, and Cedar Rapids by vir-
tue OF its location being aligned with the
the northern clubs. This would serve to
prevent a meeting being called at which
the southern clubs would have majority
vote and might take summary action
against Waterloo.
Would Withdraw IniunctIOns.
President Tearney received messages
from both Waterloo and Dubuque saying
the two clubs were willing to have their
injunctions now pending against the league
withdrawn.
Attorney Quin O'Brien for the northern
clubs said deadlock over extending the
league would not prevent the 1911 playing
schedule being adopted.
The southern clubs will have their four
votes for extending the league" he said.
''The four northern clubs will vote against
It. The southern clubs will be unable to
carry their point, q schedule will be
adopted and the fight ended.
If the northern clubs should permit the
league to be increased the balance Of power
might go to the southern clubs and the
deadlock which now insures a position to
the Waterloo club would be broken and
all the points which we have fought for
and won. would be lost
