STRAW HAT PRICES UP.
Drouth in Japan Causes Decrease in
output Of ssStraw Plaiting.''

Drouth in Japan Causes Decrease in
output Of :straw Plating
London, Feb. 9.-Straw hat manu-
facturers and wholesale and retail hat
tiers and milliners are much concerned
at the marked shortage in the supply
of certain qualities Of straw plata
shortage borne out by the board Of
trade returns, which disclose that dur
ing the year just ended the importa-
ton of "straw plating and other ma
terials' showed decrease as compared
with 1910, of over 2,25o,0oo pounds.
In consequence af the revolution in
China large quantities of straw plat
have been held up in that country, hut
this has occasioned little concern, as
Chinese plaits are out of fashion at
the moment. The trouble has arisen IN
connection with the supply from Japan,
and it is stated that prolonged
drought in Japan has resulted in a
smaller crop than usual.
This, combined with the world wide
demand for Japanese plaits-the Unit
ed States, the continent, Canada and
Austria being keen competitors with
this country for the available supply
has sent up the prices of chip, tagel and
rustic straws from 10 to IS per cent.
In some cases on advance of two
pounds and more a bale on last years
rates is being obtained.
The retail prices of ladies' straw
millinery are bound to be higher this
spring, but it is impossible to state any
definite figure.

OF LOCATION or DRAIN
IN NELSON COUNTY WAS ARaU
ED BEFORE THE DRAINAGE
BOARD. J. SAMSON APPEARS
IN TIE IMPORTANT CASE

The Board consists of T. ]. Alsted,
chairman, and L. 8. Helgeland and JAG.
oh Fransen. The question under con.
sideration was the drainage of a large
tract Of land in the southern part OF
Nelson county. There are two ront es
which have been marked out. One fol-
lowing the section line along the tract
in question and the other going
through the big Ottofy farm which be-,
longs to Hon. 8. G. Iverson, the state
auditor of the state Of Minnesota The
sole question before the board was the
selection Of the route of the drain. Mr..
Iverson appeared in person before the
Board in opposition to the route which
would bring the drain through his farm
and was also represented by his at
torney, John J. Samson of Devils Lake.
s. G. Skulason, state g attorney of Mel
son county, appeared for the board. Mr..
Ralph, state engineer Of the state of
Minnesota and Mr.. Crabbe of Fargo
were heard by the board and advocated
the placing Of the drain along the Sec
tion line and the board was also ad-
vised by Mr.. Atkinson, the state cngi
neer of the state of North Dakota, who
favored the route leading through the
farm, or as it is better known as route
No. 2.
Attorney Samson called the board 8
attention to the 1911 Amendment which
requires the board to locate drains
along the section line whenever it is
practicable and where it does not IN
terfere with the general utility of che
drain and argued that the board had
no choice under the law of placing the
ditch in this case anywhere except
along the section line as the cost in
each case would be about the same
when the extra damages resulting from
going through the Ottofy farm were
taken into consideration and therefore
the placing of the drain along the sec
tion line was practicable in fact.
The question was taken under advise
ment by the board and will be decided
at another meeting in the near future
at which all petitioners for the con.
struction Of the drain as we'll as the
attorneys interested will be present.
A great deal of interest is being mani
tested in this matte by the people Of
Pekin and vicinity as all are anxious
for the construction of the drain which
will reclaim large area of waste land.
A decision by the board to run the
drain through the Ottofy farm will I'M
doubtedly mean a bitter legal fight as
Mr.. Iverson is determined not to have
his farm cut by it.

DEVILS LAKE Is BEING WELL
CARED FOR IN THIS RESPECT
AT PRESENT.

That religion is progressing in Dsvils
Lake is a certainty, with the predic-
tions that are coming to focus for the
present years work in the different de-
nominations within the city. A general
campaign being made by the churches
as whole and individually on thu part
Of each one promises rapid strides in
church annals.
The Methodists have plans under con-
sideration for new edifice on the site
where the present building stands, it
being fact that the present house of
worship is becoming too small for the
rapidly increasing congregation.
The Presbyterian church are consid-
ering the question of erecting new
building for their congregation and will
no doubt be started during the present
year.
The German Lutherans have had
plans under way for some time and as
soon as the weather permits for work
to actually start, the basement will be
commenced.
The Episcopalian body will build a
Guild House during the coming year
and have already large fund on hand
to carry on the work.

NORTH DAKOTA MOVE FOR STATE
CONVENTION Is IRRESISTIBLE,
IT APPEARS.

01duu co1AS, ~. ~, EeD. 1U.-1ndC
the Roosevelt movement in North Da-
kota is gaining strength, and that the
convention which has been called to be
held in Grand Forks March 20 for the
purpose Of nominating delegates who
will favor his selection as the party
presidential candidate will be big af-
fair, is the declaration made by prime
movers of the campaign in Grand
Forks. The work is, to a large extent
being directed from this city, although
to this date no organized campaign has
been launched. AS yet no formal call
has been made for the gathering, but
the number Of petitions which have
been presented to the Roosevelt work
ers in this city by Republicans from all
sections of the state makes is absolute
~ certain that the step will be taken.
Workers for LaFollette in North Da-
kota have not given up hope of elect:
ing delegates for him, nor have they
as yet, given much credence to the re-
ports of his possible withdrawal. The
several candidates for delegates to the
convention named recently by the Pro
gressives have all declared themselves
ready to support the man whom the
party favors.
Oversight in Primary Law.
Conditions have arisen in connection
with the presidential primary election
that will allow for peculiar results.
The national committee g call for del
egates provides that they shall be Sc
lected from each congressional district.
In North Dakota the law governing
the preference election make no pro-
vision for the election of delegates
from the different districts, but makes
the election general for the entire state.
In view of that fact, seven Of the
delegates may go from one district,
leaving the other two districts with
only three delegates. At the same time
the district from which the seven men
are sent to the convention might cast
plurality vote for one presidential
candidate, while the election in the
state at large would be for another. In
that event it allows the delegate an
opportunity to abide, either by the re-
suit in his own district, or in the re-
suit over the entire state. The over
sight in the law allows an opportunity
for solid delegation unless all dis
tricts cast pluralities for the same can
didate.
May Provide for Alternates.
The question of alternate delegates is
one that has not been settled yet. At
torney General Miller has ruled that
the secretary of state, if he wishes TO-,
can make place on the ballot for tho
alternate delegates, but that there is
no provision in the law creating such a
place.
Another point on which the attorney
general has ruled within the last few
days is to the effect that the petitions
Of the presidential candidates must be
fled by February II, while those Of
candidates for the convention, for ma
tional committeeman and for presiden-
tial electors, must be fled by March l.

S29, 100000 TO BE DIVIDED
BY STANDARD COMPANY

New York, Feb. Appropriations are
said to be making whereby the Stand
ardOil company Of Indiana will next
month slice melon of $29,000,00O in
stock. The company is one of the for
mer 80 subsidiaries Of the Standard Oil
company of New Jersey.
The annual meeting Of the Indiana
company will be held on March z at
Whiting, Ind, and stockholders will
be asked, it is said, to vote an increase
of $29,000ooo in the company's capital
which is at present 100000. The ad-
ditional $2e,oO0,Ooo will then be turn
ed over to the stockholders, 1t is gen
orally reported, as stock dividend of
1900 per cent.
Shortly after the dissolution of the
Standard Oil company of New Jersey,
shares of the Indiana company sold as
low as 81, 400 and yesterday the shares
were quoted at $4,000 bid-$4,5oo ask
ed.
There is a growing belief that the
Indiana melon cutting is only the be-
ginning Of a number Of capital in
creases among the Standards subsi-
daries, whose capital only nominally
represents the value Of assets.
It was the Standard Oil company of
Indiana, which, in 1907, was fined $780,
024, 900 by Judge Lands in Illinois.

why can't II The result will be that
the child will get busy and learn some
thing useful instead of meeting with
bad company and forming bad habits.
His mind will be occupied with some
thing more noble and respectable. Are
we older people any more than big
childrens We want to read, see and
see something that is worth our time.
We sometimes want to talk over our
experiences. It is natural. We some
times want to laugh, sing, dance or
play just as small child.
There are many who will admit with
me that these clubs are necessary, but
will ask how are we to get them. Mon
ey will be needed. My reply to this
question is that two townships will
join together to build the proper build
ing. We will say that in the average
township there are thirty-six sections,
or 70 in the two townships; as the pop
ulation will average to the section
we will have 800 people. Now my idea
would be that each of these 800 should
contribute $40 for share which would
give us $4,000 and with such an amount
we could start to organize. Every mem
