ICE CAUSES SHUTDOWN
FALL IN MERCURY CAUSES CES-
sATION OF OPERATIONS AT
PINE TREE MILLS

Generally speaking most success
full year was ended Sunday by the
closing of the Pine Tree sawmills, due
to the fall in the temperature and the
formation of ice on the river. In re-
gard to the time Of shutting down this
year it may be said that only three
times in the history Of the mill have
saving operations been continued as
late as this year. In 1898 the mill was
open until November "a; in 1902, until
November 26; and in 1904, until, No
vember 81. The longest yearly run
made since the beginning Of the saving
in this city, excluding the time taken
out for shut downs and accidents to
the machinery and to laborers for days
and nights combined was in 1902 when
412 shifts were made.
The cut this year will compare very
favorably with that Of last year. Last
years run was large increase over
that Of proceeding years.
The mill was run 1876 days and 1914
nights this year, having been opened
April 10. Last years run consisted of
$40 shifts.
The number of accidents this year
was held down to minimum, there
being no fatalities and but very few
accidents with crippling after effects.
Practically all Of the log transporta-
tion was done by railroad during the
last year.

ing.
Extensive improvements have been
made in the church. The seating capac-
ity has been nearly doubled. New mis-
sion benches have been purchased, two

installed, pulpit has been purchased
and placed in the sanctuary, several

WISCONSIN HAS MODEL LAW
Minnesota Should Duplicate Wiscon'
Sin Law Governing Cooperation

Wisconsin, which may truly be
termed a progressive state, passed a
law recently which should be dupli-
Gated in Minnesota and other states
at once. This law governs the incor-
poration Of cooperative associations
and the fees to be paid for them. An
essential feature Of the law is that
any number of persons, not less than
five, may associate themselves as a
cooperative association, society, COM
pany or exchange, for the purpose of
conducting any agricultural, dairy
mercantile, mining, manufacturing, or
mechanical business on the cooper
ative plan. It provides for the draw
ing up of articles Of incorporation and
the fling of them with the secretary
of ~state and register Of deeds in the
county in which the association is to-
have its headquarters. The fee for
fling with the secretary of state is
$40, with SIS additional for the filing
of amendments. The fee for filing
with the register of deeds is 25 cents.
! The law provides for the distribution
of profits on the basis of patronage,
that is, only fair rates of interest are
paid on capital invested and profits
are distributed in proportion to the
amount of business done by each in
diyidual in the association. The
amount of stock that may be held by
one person is limited to one vote. The
law further provides a penalty for the
use of the word "co-operative' by any
| organization that is not based on true
| cooperative principals; that is, any
company that pays profits on capital
stock instead of on patronage, or does
not comply with the requirements of
the act cannot use the term "co-oper-
ative."
Minnesota needs such law: First,
to protect it's citizens from being mis-
led by the term cooperative; second
to provide some simple and easy
means Of legalizing cooperative ssso'
Citations, third, to legally establish a
basis for true co-operation.-A: D.

DALTON BOUND OVER
FREIGHT CAR HOIDUP IS HELD
TO GRAND JURY BAIL FIXED !;
AT $1,000 :;

The hearing of Chester Dalton, who
is charged with attempted murder,
was held Monday afternoon at 2
O'Clock before Justice Gaudet. The
hearing had been set for Monday morn
ing and after some delay was postponed
to Monday afternoon. 4...
It is claimed that Dalton held up
and. shot Ray Durand while both were
stealing ride on special east bound
freight train last Wednesday. Durand's 3
story corroborated by that Of Froh is
tfat Dalton demanded money, from
Durand and that Durand being under
the impression that Dalton was
brakeman, as he wore brakeman
badge on his cap, handed him dollar
and that Dalton demanded more money
but that he (Durand) refused to COM
ply with the demand, Dalton became
angry, being partly under the in
fuence of liquor, and drew revolver
and shot -Durand twice, once through
the arm, the other bullet grazing his
abdomen.
Only two witnesses were examined
at the hearing Monday afternoon.
Durand, the victim of the shooting,
gave his age as II years. Gust Froh,
travelling companion Of Durand, gave
testimony practically the same as that
of his companion. He said that before
Durand was shot that he had been shot
at by the defendant.
The defense offered no testimony
and he was bound over to the grand
jury and his bail was fixed at $1,000,
in default Of payment of which he
will be held in jail.
The prisoner has diamond ring and
also in his possession a receipt show
ing that he paid $38 for the ring.

WINTER OCCUPATION OF LABOR


The profitable employment of labor
during the winter season is one OF
the difficult problems on many farms.
Unless the schedule of farm organiza-
tion is we'll balanced the horses need
ed for summer work, as well as the
men, will be idle during part of the
winter. They must be fed and cared
for and the money invested is cost
ing interest all the time. Some way
should be provided in which they can
at least earn part of their board.
The cost of feeding the horses can
often be reduced by feeding cheap
forage and allowing the horses to
roug h it in lot or shed. It is possi-
BILE in some places to use them in
hauling building material, cord wood,
or fence posts. So far as possible,
bulky farm produce should be mar
keted during the winter, thus using
the horses when the demand for horse
labor on the farm is not so pressing
Many forms of occupation can be
devised which will employ the man
labor on most farms. Caring for live
stock is one of the most common as
we'll as most profitable. What the
particular class of stock should be will
depend on the food supply, the mar
ket facilities, and the kind of labor
available. The care of dairy COWS
may be combined with wood cutting
to advantage in many cases. A flock
Of sheep may be purchased and fed
out on cheap, rough food and some
grain. A car of feeder cattle may be
finished on bundle-corn, thus saving
the cost of husking and at the same
time providing winter occupation Tor
labor.
The farmer who has lot Of good
grain or corn on hand may make good
wages by preparing it for sale as seed
and putting it on the market as such.
A few farmers in Minnesota last win
ter increased the: price of their seed
corn from So to So and $40 bushel
by careful selection and making indi-
vidual ear tests. One farmer sold
$3.50 worth of seed corn from a six
! teen acre field in this way without de-
pleting to any appreciable extent his
supply Of feed. He counted his time
we'll spent.
Many operations usually conducted
! in open weather can be fastened by
| attention and preparation during the
: winter season. Machinery and mar
ness repairs, fence and building alter.
ations or repairs, manure hauling, feed
delivery and stora oe and others will
| come to the mind or the forehanded
farmer as he gives thought to the
matter. All Of these items are vitally
connected with the profit side OF the

HENsION OF MIsCREANTS
OFFER OF REWARD.

The Morrison County Automobile
club, at an outlay of considerable
money and labor, caused permanent

vehicle, is thereby guided along un-
familiar roads, and all derive an equal
benefit therefrom. .. Il
Recently some miscreants have mar
red and defaced several of said sign
boards by shooting into them, and in
other ways. !" 4
Section 5137, Revised Laws, 1905, of
tn, State Of Minnesota, makes it q
| misdemeanor for any person willfully
to mar or deface any such signboard.
, The said club, therefore, in order to
protect said property and to enforce
the law, hereby makes standing Of
fer Of $25 to any person who will fur
nish evidence on which any person,
marring or defacing any of said sign
boards, is convicted.
The evidence may be brought direct

club, or to the county attorney, who
promises to enforce the law vigorously
upon satisfactory evidence being pro-
duced.
