AT HIGH FIGURES
D. F. Miller Is Some Auctioneer When
1t Comes to Disposing Of
Property.

Enter D. F. Miller, member of the
Keokuk bar, in the role of some auc-
tioneer. For reasons read this from
the Montrose Journal:
We have always known that Hon.
D. F. Miller of Keokuk was one of
the best attorneys in the county, bu.
what we did not know, is that he Is
Just as good an auctioneer. He cried
the sale of the Bindewald lots
which took place here last Saturday
afternoon and he received the highest
prices which have been paid for lots
here in many a year. There is no
need for Keokuk to send out for an
auctioneer for they have an able one
in Attorney Miller.

PLUMBERS WERE BUSY.

Norfolk plumbers are letting out a
sigh of relief which announces that
the last water pipe freeze-ups have
been thawed out, after a long siege.
Hotels, schools, business blocks, tele-
graph Office, saloons, barber shops,
drug stores and residences numbering
about sixty-five all told, experienced
freeze-ups."
Immediately after the wind had gone
down Monday night plumbers were
called to the telephones, where they
were told by anxious residents that
their bathrooms were out of commits
sion.
Others told of the pipes being froz-
en- In the cellars and many requests
came for gasoline torches and blow
ers." which one plumber says helps
the breaking of the pipes instead of
aiding the thawing out. From the
time the first freeze-up was announced,
plumbers were swamped with calls
from residence districts and came to
town, where their services were of
great Importance. Time and again
after the plumber had thawed out a
frozen section of pipe and had left
the business block he was recalled
the water having frozen Immediately
after he had left the building.
A feature of the unusual amount of
freezing was that there were very few
flooded cellars or bath rooms. AL
though the pipes broke off and sup
plies cracked and snapped away, there
was no food, the entire waterworks
being so solidly frozen that the water
had no outlet.
Come down to my house at once"
was the telephone call one plumber
received. 81 have called for every
plumber in town and they are all busy.
Our water is frozen up and the pipes
are breaking everywhere"
Another plumber declares that at
one residence he found that the pipes
had frozen between two ceilings above
bath room. The ceilings were only
a few feet apart and on crawling in
side he came out after much difficulty
He made the repairs, but said:
1T put these first water pipes in
here myself some time ago. but can
not recollect how l did it,"
Many of the water pipes were froz-
en- from the meter to the supplies.
Water Commissioner Brummund says
seven meters were frozen.
In some cases water boilers froze
and burst.
The recent freeze-up of waterworks
is the worst in the history of Norfolk

FOR WOLF scALps, s4os,21t.
Wolfless Counties Of North Dakota are
Asking Repeal Of Bounty Law.

WolfIess Counties Of North Dakota are
Asking Repeal Of Bounty Law.
Bismarck, N. D., Jan. 9.-North Da-
kota has paid S4O3,211 In an effort to
get rid Of wolves, according to figures
given out by ID. X. Brightbill. state
auditor. The average payment for
the last five years has been $4,000 a
year, or $4,000 a month. The auditor
says the wolf bounty law should be
repealed, for there is no longer any
need of paying bounty.
In 1909 the total amount OF certlfi.
Gates issued by the counties and pre-.
scented to the auditor for registration
was $39,291.50. This indicates that
In that year 11,717 wolves were kill
ed.
In the eastern counties Of the state,
where large amount of the tax is
paid because of the higher valuation
and the larger contribution Of taxes,
the least benefit is received and this
has given rise to complaints. This
Is shown in the case of Grand Forks
county, which in 1909 paid a total of
$2.576.4S into the wolf bounty fund,
while the certificates from that coun.
ty registered in the year amounted
to only 1925.
