CIRCUS

Whenever the circus is at hand the
press agent comes along and com
mences to tell the editor of the paper
all about the number of clowns his
attraction carries and singular to re
laet this has never varied, appar-
emily, since the first time that a tent
ed organization took the road
Forty clowns, count EN-, forty,
says this gentleman, and so runs the
burden Of his song, but until the Sells
Floto Circus came along no person
ever really saw forty clowns inside
of the Big Top
Now, at last, comes the unfulfilled
promise of years.
The really, truly, forty clowns are
about to invade this town, and the
press agent of the Sells-F'loto Circus
swears by the great horn spoon, and
by his reputation as the official al
mighty voice of tre big consolidated
shows, that the famous forty will ap-
pear at every performance, will come
right in through the grand entrance,
and will parade around the hippo
drome track in order that the patrons
Of the circus may count them.
This iS sllch a startling deDarture
as to cause special comment and on
further Investigation, it is found that
such celebrated JOY producers as
Frank Stout, Shorty Maynard, Jim
Rutherford. George Brown, Pack Har-
ris, Ab Johnson, Jerry Clayton, Billy
Jameson, the Kelly Brothers and
many other noted testers are included
in the list.
The Sells-F1oto Circus will arrive
here on Wed, Oct. 16, for a one-day
engagement. The time honored par
ade will be given at 1890 in the
morning of the performance, and it
should be remembered that the popu-
lar prices, which have prevailed for
the past two years are still in vogue
25 cents admits to both menagerie
and full performance. The regular
ticket wagons will be opened at 8
o'clock.

CLOSING TIMBER
DEAL CONTRACT
GOVERNMENT SELLS CAllFOR'
MA LUMBER COMPANY 300,
100000 FEET OF TIMBER.
(By Winfield Jones)

Washington, Oct. within a
short time the United States gov
ernment will close a contract with
a big California lumber company for
the sale of S00,C00,OO0 feet of tim
Der in the Sierra National Forest.
Chief Forester Graves is now in
San Francisco to make final terms
for the cutting of this vast amount
OF timber, in such manner that the
forest will not be damaged.
Under the terms of the sale the
final signing of the contract will not
take place until the company has
been shown on TIE ground what tim
Der the government will reserve
from cutting, in order TO preserve
good forest conditions, provide for
reproduction, and insure future
growth
Assistant Forester w. b. Greeley
is in San Francisco to act as
member of the marking board"
which will carefully mark sample
area. to show how the restrictions
on cutting will be applied. The 9th
cr members of the board will be a
local forest supervisor in the Sierra
forest and an inspector from the
local forestry office in San Fran
cisco.
This marking board will, it is un-
derstood, reserve about one third of
the stand to be cut over.
Before leaving Washington For
ester Graves said that part of the
public at least, was much perturbed
by so gigantic a sal eof the gov
ernments' timber.
The forest service" he said "has
received a number of inquiries
whether in selling so much timber
to a single purchaser the govern
ment may not be opening a way 10
monopolistic control,
"Sucn sales as this are a new de-
velopment in the forest service.
Great bodies of mature but mac
cessibe timber can be put on the
market only if sale contracts are set
on terms which will justify very
heavy initial investment ia trans
portaticn facilities. In entering into
such contracts, however, special
safeguards to protect the public
against monopoly and TO prevent
an undue speculative profit to the
purchaser are employed.
The national forests contain, in
all the equivalent Of nearly 100000
100000 feet of timber now of mer-
chantable size besides young growth
for future harvest.
The timber which has been sold
to the California company lies well
back in the Sierra Nevada noun
tains, and will require the construc-
tion OF seventy miles of standard
guage railroad to Open up the area.
The sale was publicly advertised for
six months in order to give an op-
portunity for all to make bids.

MARSHALL COUNTY WILL HELP

The Northern Minnesota Develop
ment Association has undertaken to
maintain exhibits of the products cf
the state at various points in Illinois
and other states, same as it now does
at Minneapolis. A similar exhibit
will also be kept in st. Paul. To do
this will cost money, and Marshall
county is asked to contribute $3.50 as
its share in the enterprise. A meet
ing of the county development asso-
citation was held here last night, at
which W. R. Mckenzie, secretary Of
the Northern Minnesota Development
Association was present. At this meet
ing the necessary funds were pledged
and a soliciting committee consisting
OF o. H. Taralseth, Aug. Lundgren and
A. B. Nelson, of Warren, A. E. Pfiff
ner, of Argyle, and Chas. Gillespie, Of
Stephen, was appointed to secure the
money. Such exhibits are the most

Aug. 20 is the last day on which
candidates for nomination for county

should forthwith pass law compell-
ing person to hold Office, willing or
unwilling, so that there can be no
possible chance of the wheels of gov
ernment having to stop owing to lack
of men to fill the offices. 1t has been
found out that a county Office is not

EXPOSITION PLACE WILL COST
$75,00o

The great exposition building being
erected in Minneapolis as the home of
the Northwestern Products Exposition
lis nearing completion. It will cost
the business men of Minneapolis
about $4,000. 1t is 257 feet long and
174 feet wide with a grand stand
along one side 81 feet wide and 256
feet long.
Built to make possible entertain
ment and instruction for all visitors
to Minneapolis, it is fitting that the
building should be opened by the
Northwestern Products Exposition, a
show given by the seven northwest
states for the benefit of the states
themselves.
The great hall will be transformed
into a panorama of farms, ranches
and gardens, it's walls and ceilings
made to resemble the beauties of ma.
ture out doors, and arranged within
this picture landscape will be the
choicest PRODUCES of the soil from
seven states and Alaska.
This exposition with the building
will cost about $225,0OO and shows
the enterprise of Minneapolis and St.
Paul.

SHALL WARREN ISSUE MORE
BONDS? u

Z z
The city council is considering the
advisability Of issuing more bonds to
secure funds for enlarging the ELECTRIC
light plant and the construction of AMI
other we'll. So many citizens are in3
stalling electric lights in their homes
that the plant is taxed now almost up
to its full capacity and it is absol1lte-
ly necessary to install another dyna1
mo in order to take care Of the de.
nlands that will be made upon it id
the future. The city needs also an
other well and pumping station as 4
safeguard against a water famine like
we had last winter, in case anything
goes wrong with the old well. It is
estimated that it will require about
$4,000 to install these public improve
nlents, and it is up to the people of ths
city to devise ways and means. The
easiest way, it would seem, is to issue
bonds at a low rate of interest, pay
able at some future time, when the in
crease in wealth and population viii
make their payment easy. Let dis
cussion of the question be started.

EXHIBITS AT COUNTY,

A new feature at the Marshall coun
ty Fair, to be held Sept. %. "a and 25
this year, will be township exhibits bI
the various townships in the count1
The fair management will give priz
Of $50 for the best exhibit by any
town, $50 for the second best and $40
as third prize. It is believed that
many towns will avail themselves of
the opportunity to exhibit their pro-
ducts and at the same time have a
chance to win one Of these prizes.
Booths, 8 by 10 #. in size, will be fur
nished by the Fair Association. All
grains, grasses, vegetables and fruits
must have been grown in the town
ship from which shown during the
season of 1912, and must be exhibited
in their natural condition. Appica-
tions for space must be made to the
secretary on or before Sept. 10th. The
town of McCrea has already applied
for space. If a healthy rivalry can
be worked up between the various
towns, much will have been done for
improved farming in the county.

Minneapolis Journal: If all the

Minnesota and North and South Da-
kota this year were wound upon q
brobdignagian spool in Minneapolis,
and man took hold of one end of the
string and started away he would
have to travel 279 times around the
world to unwind it.
1t he went around the globe in
eighty days and travelled continuously
he would have to travel for more than
Isixty-one years to get it all unwound.
If he could Jump out to the moon

he would be able to, make 20 Jumps
out and back or 14@ round trips, and
still have hold of the end of the string.
That 67,000,000 pounds of binding
tWine is the requirement represented
by the great bumper crops that stand
on a great acreage in the three states
has been estimated.
Sisal and standard twine has 500
feet to the pound, Standard Manila
$50 feet, Manila 600 feet and pure
Manila $50 feet. The first and third
named varieties are most commonly
used. The average pound of twine
has $50 feet
That means 36,S5O, 100000 feet. It
means 6,979,O0O miles.
Sixty-seven million pounds of bind
ing twine by far the greatest require
ment ever known. will be needed to
bind the crops of Minnesota, North
and South Dakota, according to esti-
mates of Minneapolis men familiar
with the situation.
About 4S,Oo0,OOo pounds is available
or will be delivered on contracts, but
the crops are SO phenomenally heavy
that there is need for 1a,900,00o
pounds of twine that does not exist
at this time. Prices are up sharply,
twine that sold, in Minneapolis, in
carloads, in February, when the years
prices We're first announced, at 7ts
cents, being quoted at II cents and
higher. Thousands of letters and
nearly AS many kilograms are pouring
into Minneapolis beseeching dealers
to send out twine
Thousands of letters are going back
advising country dealers to be calm.
Even if it comes to pass where some
of the grain has to be bound by hand,
dealers are writing their customers,
not bushel of the great grain crop
need be lost if all pull together to re-
lieve the situation.
Nothing like the existing condition
was ever known before in the north
west, but dealers say that while they
see no immediate prospect for obtain
ing the twine that is needed they be-
lieve means will be found to prevent
the loss of any grain.
The amount of twine needed this
year is estimated as follows:
