three hundred pounds. Having &C.

is frequently "Tiny's' wont to pick
up as many as five bales of hay at a

annoyed by a balky mule that refuses
to do his bidding and in a case like
this "Tiny'' picks up the mule body

mule should have walked himself. 1t

COAL RATE MADE
=. Lower TO CITY
Tariff Change, Proposed a
Month Ago, Become Eff
fective to Grand Forks

In accordance with a tariff an
nouncemen made over a month ago,
a thirty-ccnt reduction in the hard
IL soft coal rates to Grand Forks
went into effect yesterday The same
reduction was made In the rates to
Fargo and Wahpeton, the other North
Dakota points or the river.
This reduction was voluntarily
made by the railroads. The action
was taken in an %endeavor to equalize
the rates between East Grand Forks
and Grand Forks. Heretofore, the
rates to Grand Forks have been 40
cents higher than to East Grand
Forks, but this has been reduced to
10 cents.
The change, however. will make no
difference in the price of coal. ac-
cording to local dealer. Grand
Forks dealers made a reduction in
the prices of soft and hard coal last
fall, when they commenced to haul
their coal from the East Grand Forks
freight yards. and consequently the
change in the rates does not. affect
this CITY much.

no knowledge Of the finer points of
the business they find that they have
few chances to bring their muscle
into play. Their sprightly foe will
wear them down while they look for

orders that the factory now has
booked.
The industry has been i'll Eagle
River for over a year during
which time the one complaint
from its owner has been the lack
Ofhelp to be obtained. And now
affairs have reached a crisis. Ur-
less help can be secured for the
factory it will be forced to leave
the town. Present business de-
mands that more help be secured
and sixty girls could find employ
ment although a less number
would insure the factorv's per-
manency.
The Knitting Works is an in
dustry from which the town is
deriving benefit, indirectly if not
directly, and to lose it would
mean a setback when other in
dustries look over Eagle River
with the intent of locating. To
have this factory leave after it
had been in operation for a year
and to have it leave for the rea-
son that it could secure no oper-
atives, would be a fact that
would go a long way toward
discouraging many other institu-
tons that might be secured for
this place.

MADISON CONFERENCE
Villas County Sends Delegates
to Madison to Meet State
Forestry Board in Session
Yesterday.-Vital to County.

Villas county will be wiped off
the map if the state forestry
board succeeds in acquiring the
territory they are now after.
According to map which the
forestry board now has in its
possession, when it lays out for
reserve purposes the territory in
Villas county which it will grab
up in a few years, this is all that
will be left TO the farmer and
business man in the>county:
Twelve sections in Arbor Vitae.
North half of 1910.
Town 1910
Town 41-10.
North half of 40-11.
West half of 4O-11.
West half of Hill.
Or in other words this will
leave 2 towns and 6 sections IN
Eagle River; 80 sections in Con
over; Is sections in Phelps and
II sections in Arbor Vitae.
A conference between the state
forestry board, stateforester and
the governor and representatives
from Villas and Oneida counties
is being held today at Madison.
How the conference will termi-
nate is hard to determine.

a character remarkable for it's
varied career-a career that
brought out admirable traits
despite the fact that the last few
years of his life were downward
ones and that he died as coun-
ty charge.
Thomas Barnes came to Eagle
River in 1890. He had married
twice and had but one child-a
daughter by his first wife, who
at the age of ten years attended
school here The coming of his
wife, Mrs. Harriet Brandon,
and daughter, now Mrs. Ben A.
Huntley, to Eagle River last
week brought to light the indie
pendence of Tommy" and the
honesty of the late Joseph Tool
ey.
1t develops that "Tomm V" in
his later days saved his paltrv
earnings and as he earned them
gave them to Joseph Tooley,
which fact was disclosed when
Mrs. Tooley turned over $125.75
to the district attorney, who in
turn delivered it into the hands
of the relatives. The honestly of
Tooley and the perseverance of
Barnes are indeed commendable
traits in men. Mr.. Barnes was
Past Grand of Subordinate lodge
Grand Rapids, Wis, Odd Fellows
for many years.
The remains of Thomas Barnes
were taken to Winona tor inter
ment, the home of his daughter
