CONSUL INTERCEDES
TO ASSIST FARMER

Samuel G. Iverson, state auditor,
yesterday received letter from E. H.
Hobe, Norwegian consul, St. Paul,
calling the state officials attention to
the unfortunate case of Martin Paul.
son of Beltrami county. Paulson, the
consul asserts, has been deprived Of
his homestead through government
red tape and the consul asks the audi
tors good offices in finding way to
hel p the man out Of his difficulty.
Paulson, said Mr.. Hobe, in Novem-
Der, 1904, filed claim to homestead
of 120 acres near the Chippewa reser-
walton in Beltrami county, paying his
filing fee to the United States govern
ment. He then went ahead clearing
the land, and after a year or so built
several substantial farm buildings, &C.
quired live stock and was in a fair
way to become a prosperous farmer.
In 1910, just as Paulson was plan
ming to present his final proofs and
secure a government patent to the
land, his five years Of life and i'm
provement on the land having expir-
ed, a party Of United States survey
ors passed through the section and
notified Paulson that they would be
compelled to classify the land he was
demonstrating as swamp land, which
would convert the ownership Of the
property to the state of Minnesota.
Later in the same year, the state
filed it's selection Of swamp lands and
Paulson's farm was claimed in List
No. 1913, and in July, 1918, the state
received federal patent to the land.
Although advised to make con-
test, Paulson decided that under the
existing conditions the decision would
be against him, and made no protest.
Thus far, the Norwegian consul
states, Paulson has been unable to
have restored to him the money he
paid as fling fees when he first took
up the claim. 1t is also pointed out in
the letter that, under the decision of
the federal courts, it is impossible for
Paulson to take up other government
land on the same filing.
The position of Minnesota in the
matter is also peculiar, as the law re-
quires the land in question shall be
sold at the lowest approval appraisal
Of it's value, and the proceeds turn
ed into the states educational fund.
In this case, it is estimated the lowest
valuation on the Paulson farm would
be about 81 per acre, and unless the
homesteader can raise that amount of
cash, he will be compelled, shortly, to
surrender possession of the property
to the state, and lose, at the same
time, about six years. har work. Mr..
Iverson will look into the matter.

VERGE OF STRIKE
If Agreement Fails, 148,OOO
Miles of Road Will Be
Tied Up.

CHICAGO, July 16-An ultimatum
in the wage dispute between $4,000
engineers and firemen of the ninety
eight railroads west of Chicago and
their employers was to be presented
yesterday to the managers of the
roads. A gigantic strike which will
tie up $4,000 miles of road is immi-
nent unless an agreement is reached,
according to the union officers.

neer of the Brotherhood of Locomo-
tive Engineers, and w. G. Carter,
president of the Brotherhood of Loco
motibe Firemen and Enginemen, met

1t was announced by w. S. Carter
for the employees that the vote of the
engineers was 97.27 per cent in favor
of strike, and that the vote of the
firemen and enginemen was 1922 per
cent in favor of a strike.
Up to Roads Next.
The next move is up to the roads. 1t
may take the form of an appeal to the
Federal department Of labor for arbi-
tration
Virtually all lines west Of Chicago,
the Illinois Central and lines in Can
ada west of Fort William, except the
Canadian Grand Trunk Pacific, are
affected.

quiry made by Professor R. A. Barnes
of the state college geology depart
ment confirms the theory. Professor
Barnes says that deposits of volcanic
ash are often brought down in rain
or snow and that there may be at any
time sufficient volcanic dust in the air
for a visible deposit.
The one noted here may be from
California or Alaska, but it may have
been carried from some far quarter of
the globe from an eruption long ago.

COTTON SEEDS BLOOM ON
SOUTH DAKOTA FARM

DUPREE, S. d., July 16.-H. S.
Brown, homesteader living south
Of Dupree, has demonstrated that
cotton can be grown in South Da-
kota. Last year, while visiting in
Oklahoma, he made the remark to
friends that he believed cotton
would grow in this state. He was
laughed at, but was presented with
some cotton seeds, which he plant
ed. Every seed has sprouted.
Brown, however, is still relying
on corn, wheat, alfalfa and COWS.

Chandler Hale Finds Lux
ury in Detention Camps
in England.
OFFICER PRISONERS
GET PAY AND WALLETS
Are Furnished with Supplies OF
Clothing, but Insist on
Wearing Uniforms.

London. Oct. 13.-The splendidly gem
erous treatment BY the British Of the
German prisoners of war forms the
theme Of an interview given to-day by
Chandler Hale on his return from a
tour OF inspection Of three Of the Eng
!ish detention camps.
Mr.. Hale, who was formerly Assist
ant Secretary OF State az Washington,
has charge at the American Embassy
of the Austrian branch. He is the frst
American permitted to visit the in
closures in which Britain's hospitality
is being extended TO enemy aliens.
Altogether he saw more than four
thousand prisoners, of whom less than
one thousand have been combatants.
But those figures. he said, represent
only small percentage of the tota!
rumber of Germans incsrcerated by
the British authorities. The comforts
provided for the captives amount In
many cases. he declared, almost to
Injuries. particularly where the officer
prisoners are concerned Mr. Hale said
The feature OF the tour which
should like emphasized Is that not .
single complaint Of any kind vas made
20 me By any prisoner. All willingly
conceded how delightfully."- they are
being treated by their captors, and |
know they were sincere about it. be-
cause ! was afforded the fullest oppor-
tunity OF conyersing with them beyond
earshot Of the British officers.
at is interesting to note the differ
ence between the German and the
Austro-Hungarisn prisoners. The lat
ter take their imprisonment light
hesrtedly. But the Germans are in
clined to be cantankerous, and they
grumble loudly against their fate
The first camp Mr.. Hale inspected
was an inclosed one In the open air.
The camp is arranged in tent streets,
twelve prisoners sharing tent. Most
Of the tents have wooden flooring, the
remainder having waterproof sheets.
Each occupant OF tent has two plan
kets and draws rstions equivalent 20
those OF a British soldier. except that
he gets less meat and more bread.
Each tent" Mr.. Hale said. elects
a captain. and each street has a chief
captain, empowered TO enforce disci-
pine and the regulations, to select
cooks. etc.
Each officer has bed and generally
n room TO himself. and is literally sup
piled with clothes. They insist on
wearing their uniforms, however. They
can play games of cards, have ample
space for exercise. plenty Of books,
and. altogether. live in conditions
