THE WAGE QUESTION.
Mason City Carpenters and Contract
ors Are Having Trouble.

Mason City, Iowa, April 1.-THE
war is on between contractors and
carpenters in this city. Yesterday
the contractors advertised for 200
non-union carpenters, offering a sal
airy of 81 per day for ten hours work.
This was promptly met by the carp
enters union issuing a statement
which they sent broadcast over the
country, stating that there was no
work here and stating that the adj
vertisement of the contractors was
put out to lure carpenters here for
the purpose of flooding the city with
idle men. The union carpenters de-
mand $3.50 for nine hours and will
make no concessions. The contract
ors state that they will not pay it and
will not advance above $4 for ten
hours work. The probabilities are
that more building will be done in
Mason City this year than in any pre-
yious year. The matter was finally
adjusted by increasing the wage
scale.

NO LIVESTOCK LOST.
James Kennedy of Logan, Has Ideal
Place. Half Century Record.

Logan, Ia, April thames Ken
nedy, who owns a farm west of Lo-
gan, has discovered what is regard
ed by many as the secret of immun-
ity from infectious diseases for live
stock.
While other stock men of the coun-
try have lost thousands of dollars in
recent years by cholera, Mr.. Kenne-
dy, handling hundreds of hogs, as a
buyer and feeder, has escaped losses
by cholera and like diseases for fifty
six consecutive years.
For residence, pasture, feed yard
and other purposes about forty acres
are used near the barn. The grounds
have excellent surface draining and
no pools of water are left standing.
The stock is given comfortable barns
and sheds, clean feed and pure spring
water, piped from a number of near
by springs.
Though many attribute Mr.. Kenne-
dy's immunity to supposed chemical
properties OF the springs on the farm,
he says he knows of no chemical
property that might explain his luck.

Iowa now average $3.50 per month

Skunk Farming.

Frank Hagan has gone into skunk
farming. A few days ago he purch-
ased pair of black sknnks of the
Smith Bros, northeast of town, and
is at present busily engaged erect
ing summer and winter quarters for
them. The Smith boys raised TWEEN
ty-five young ones last year and at
the price of the pelts they realized
large profit. They intended to en-
large their farm and go into the bust
ness on a large scale, but their faith
er, Ernest Smith, being a large land
owner and with plenty of farm work
on hand, advised them to change
their plans. They did so and sold
what they had left after the winter
sales to Mr.. Hagan. The animals in
crease at the rate of twelve fold, in
which case a small beginning will
soon amount to many. A few offers
were caught in this section last whit
er that brought fancy prices in the
fur markets, but the hunter did not
know what he had caught until after
the sales were made. William
Senne, we are told, sold two minks,
as he supposed, for SIS, which turn
ed out to be offers and brought in
the neighborhood of forty dollars per.

Sherman who held the title Sher-
man apparently came to Bemidji un-
defeated and showed skill on the
skates but he was not in Buckland' s
class. A coin was tossed for the pole
and was won by Sherman who took
the lead,at the start and kept.it:uM
TIL >thes tenth lap.
The race was put on under the
latest racing rules which require the
man losing the pole at the start to
pass to the right of the man in the
lead without touching the leader or
interfering in any way. The race
was the best scheduled this year and
more interest was shown than was
expected. Buckland has proven to
be a little speed wonder and has won
every race that he has entered this
winter. He won the local champion
ship several weeks ago from men who
thought they were fast but changed
their minds after twenty laps with
him. "
