FEMALE FORGER
IN MINNEAPOLIS
PAIR OF SWINDLERS WORKING
THE SAME GAME IN EXACTLY
SAME WAY IN NORTHWEST
MILL CITY FIRMS WERE VIC
TIMlZED.

That there Is a pair of female
swindlers working a check forging
game in the northwest in identically
the same way, is evident. Last Sat-
urday a woman vlctimi2ed a number
Of Fargo merchants, cashing checks OF
500 and $49. On Friday and Saturday
another woman was working the same
game in Minneapolis, using the same
amount ON the check, $69.
The woman also worked the ident-
ical game on mill city piano compan-
les as was worked on a Fargo plano
dealer. In both instances the women
offered a $50 check, both said that
they were buying presents for daugh-
tiers, and both paid S25 down.
The st. Paul Dispatch of last eve
ming says:
A. woman forger who uses a taxi
cab while passing bogus checks Is be-
ing sought by the Minneapolis police.
Last Friday she drove to the W. w.
Kimball Co, piano dealers, Eighth
street II First avenue south, that
city.
Il wan to make a present of a pi-
n to my husband and daughter"
she explained. She signed a contract
for n piano and ordered 1t sent to
500S Harriet avenue, giving the sales
man a check for 500 signed Michael
Hansen.
The first payment was $25 and she
was given $44 change. Saturday the
piano was delivered. Mr.. Hansen, a
carpenter, was found at the address.
Who ordered that" asked Hansen.
Your wife, replied the driver.
my wife has been dead thirty
years." replied Hansen.
The mt played the same trick
or the Gable Plano Co., Eighth street
and Nicollet avenue, this time receiv-
ing $40. Hansen told the driver he
a tired of getting pianos.
Fl, A. Childs, grocer, Ills Hennepin
avenue, gave the woman $12.20 for a
bad check Saturday and the police be-
lieve she is the same woman who
passed a forged check on the Warner
Hardware Co. several weeks ago. She
is described as about 80 years old. 5
feet 4 inches tall, weighing about 100
pounds, with dark hair and eyes and
dressed in a stylish dark suit.

Railroad News
RAILROADS ARE
EXPERIMENTING
With Ignite

Twenty-one Chicago and North
western locomotives used on runs
west into South Dakota have been
fitted with spark arresters furnished
by the American Locomotive Co.,
designed for engines burning Ignite
coal. The Burlington road is also
experimenting with the use of Ignite
on it's western end. The Ignite coal
deposits of the western part of this
state and Of the northwestern part
Of South Dakota will be available for
railroad fuel of the experiments prove
successful. -.
Railroad coal in the western Sec
tions of these states and in western
Nebraska, Wyoming and Colorado
ranges from S. to Sc a ton, while lig-
mite car be bought, at this time, at
$1.75 a ton. .
The experiments are of great value
not onl yto the railroads operating in
the west, but also to the states of
North and South Dakota.
The experiments of the two rail-
roads is the result of the interest
which has been aroused by the sue
cess met with by Dean Babcock and
his assistants in the conduct of ex-
periments at the Hebron station.
Dean Babcock has conducted numer-
Gus experiments and has invented
several processes to render Ignite
coal Of commercial use. A few years
ago railroads and other large fuel
consumers were skeptical of the value
of the western coal fields. When the
coal was first used it proved rather
"a failure but the processes since en-
ployed to render it Of greater utility
have made it of practical value.
The fact that the railroads have
shown sufficient faith in the coal to
experiment with it for their engines
is q great step toward its final entry
into competition with the coal fields
of eastern states as a valuable com
mercial asset. If the fuel can be
successfully used by the roads it will
naturally lead to its use by manufac-
turing plants.
In discussing the report that the
railroads were experimenting with the
coal, Dean Babcock last night ex-
pressed himself as confident that the
coal would ultimately be used for that
purpose but was not ready to say
whether or not the appliances already
employed would be sufficient to make

THE TELEPHONE IN
The UNITED States

The report just issued by the
American Telephone g. Telegraph Co.
for the yea ending Dec. 81, 1912,
shows that the telephone has become
in the United States, to a greater ex-
tent than anywhere else in the world,
a household necessity. There are now
10000 towns, cities and hamlets from
which telephone messages may be
sent. This is 5000 more than the
number of postoffices in the United
States; 10000 more than the number
of railroad stations and nearly three
times the number of regular telegraph
Offices. There are altogether 7,456,074
telephone stations in the Bell system,
which is an increase over last year Of
S23,449 stations. This compares with
an increase during the previous year
of 749,906 stations.
Including the traffic over the long
distance lines, but not including the
connecting companies, the daily aver
age of toll connections in 1912 was
about $4,000, and of exchange con-
nections about 25,572,000. This COM
pares with 645,000 and 23,4S4, 900 in
1911. Speaking broadly this means
that the daily average of telephone
conversations last year reached &C.
310, 000, or at the rate of about 8.472,-
600, 900 for the year, as against "a
l29,0UO III l3ll Wnen the rate was T.
TO- 900, 900 a year,
Theodore N. Vail, president of the
company. gives some highly interest
ing statistics comparing the telephone
traffic in the United States and Europe
with the operations of the mail and
telegraph services. Taking the last

THE FARM WOOD LOTS.

tie Icy little the fact that the farm has
Il larger place in the national economy
than merely TO furnish the raw material
Of food and clothing has come to be
recognized among US.
Not less striking than the growing In
tcrest in the farm is the growing appre-
citation Of the forest, and we realize full
~ that not only through the supplying
of timber, but by its control over streams
and winds, its function as "A prescrver of
the soil against erosion and in many
other ways, II is a national necessity.
/ When therefore the farm and the forest
meet we have n question Of the most
genuine public importance.

! tional forests as enormous in area, cover
! ing as they do as many acres as all the
| New England states, together with New
! York, New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Della
ware, Maryland ana Virginia Yet the
area OF forest in farmers wood lots is

are the largest class Of direct users of
! the forest.
