Officers of the Northwest Develop
ment League have been considering
giving a champion sweepstakes prize
since the close of the land show"
held in st. Paul in 1911. They decided
early to give a farm tractor and plows.
As Good as Gold.
The Big Four $50" was selected as
the best engine; the Emerson blows
as the most desirable tools to be OBJ
tanned. By the terms offered the
League could have secured most any
tractor, but the Gas Traction COM
pany's engine was selected and nego-
t~iations opened for securing the great
engine. The manufacturers generous
iy offered to donate the tractor on
certain terms and their offer was &C.
cepted.
Thus the worlds greatest prize for
wheat is offered. The Big Four "3O''
tractor has won the gold medal two
years ~consecutively in the worlds ag-
ricultural motor competition at Win
nipeg and this had much to do with
its selection by the Development
League. The outfit is considered as
desirable a prize as an equivalent
amount Of gold, as these automobile
work horses are revolutionizing farm
ing all over the world.
Such a tractor enables a farmer to
almost do away with horses. Break
ing and threshing are not the only
things which the Big Four $50" tract
or will do. 1t will work in soft ground
drilling, dragging, discing, narrowing
and harvesting. 1t has high, broad
wheels which will work where horses
cannot get a foothold. They distribute
the weight of the tractor to such an
extent that the pressure under the
drivers is less per square inch than
under a horses hoof.
Full particulars Will be sent on re-
quest by addressing Will A. Campbell,

Gessler at Chicago several years ago.
On this occasion Dolan had reached

down, the score at the time being in
favor of the Cubs by a one run mar
gin. The next batter hoisted a long
fly over enter field. GeSsler grabbed
the ball and. deciding hat it was the

ct and flew for the clubhouse.
Dolan, instead of taking advantage

operators and miners Representatives
cannot agree a strike will then be for
mally declared.
The operators have Oh hand a suffi-
Gent supply Of coal to withstand a
brief suspension of work and will not
move to fill the miners places until a
strike is announced. The miners have
had steady work for several years, and
a short period of idleness will not af-
feet them seriously. So no great harm
is anticipated if work in the mines is
stopped on March 81. The trouble will
come if the suspension is prolonged or
a strike ordered.
Leaders on Each Side.
George F. Baer and John T. White
are the two men who are likely before
many weeks to be meeting the brunt
Of criticism. s%upposing a strike really
comes. It is almost inevitable that in
a labor struggle such as that in view
the actual leadership IN each side
should devolve in practice upon one
man. The miners committee and the
owners committee will each do it's
| work, but there is little doubt that the
| generalissimo of the latter will be
| Baer, president of the Reading system,
while White. as head of the United
Mine Workers, will be the general in
chief of the workers.
White probably will have for his
right hand man John Fahy. president
of union district No. 8. Fahy is an
anthracite veteran, while White is of
the bitunlinous fields. Both have dem
onstrated their organizing abilities and
have the confidence of the union min
ers. Fahy was n of the men who
led the miners, along with John Mitch
ell, in 1902. Both are real leaders and
men Of commanding ability. which has
been strengthened by years OF wide
and varied experience. Neither is Civ
en- to making wild statements.
What Baer Is Like.
Baer, by virtue OF his personality. is
the leader of the operators. He is by
common consent the chief among the
anthracite mine owners He was in
the fore during the struggle Of 1902,
which extended over six months and
cost altogether 800, ,O00. He must
be in the fore in the struggle of 1912.

Pictured as a cold blooded coal bar

reality, a lOvaDle. kindly. religiously
inclined man, counting among his
friends John Mitchell and Thomas L..

Before very long he was undisputed
leader of the bar in western Pennsyl-
vania His association with the Read
ing railroad system began in 1870.
when he became counsel He was for
a time also u director. but he clashed
so often With President Mcleod that
finally he quit. Fortune seemingly al
ways smiled on Baer. The panic of
1873 caused the failure of the bank
ing firm Of Bushong Bros. whose
properties included valuable paper
mills and iron furnaces. which. with
other interests. were valued al from
$4.0O0,0GO to -S5,0OO.O0O Baer vas
made assignee. After managing the
properties for a few years he bought
them in and assumed their obligations.
The venture was hazardous, but it's
success so firmly established him as a
fnancier and capitalist that soon aft
erward he became confidential adviser
of ], P. Morgan and the Vanderbilt
family in the state of Pennsylvania.
Reorganization Of the Philadelphia
and Reading system in 1893 brought
him again into prominence in connec-
ton with that property. In 1901 he

after sowing in certain localities, the
land is divided by burrows into rec.

value for packing purposes. The thick.
