DERED IN ABERDEEN LAST
DECEMBER.

Aberdeen, April 24.-The body of
Theodore Christianson, a bridge car
penter for the Milwaukee railroad,
who disappeared from here Deem
Der 81, was found here today in an
abandoned we'll formerly used by the
railroad, two miles south of the city.
The body had been immersed in wa
ter which had frozen over and was
in excellent condition.

with Christianson OF the night of
his disappearance, has been arrest

SOS with a saloonkeeper. That night
he, Meyer and Reed were known to
have been intoxicated. 1t is alleged
that the men got into a row and one
of them struck Christianson. The
next morning, it is alleged, Reed and
Meyer left with a hayrack at 3
o'clock, o~stensibly to get a load of
hay. 1t is thought they took the
body then and threw 1t into the well.
When found the clothes were full of
hay, such as was found in the wagon
the next day.
A few days after the disappear
ance of Christianson Reeds house
burned. He was arrested on the
charge of arson. but acquitted fol
lack of evidence. He later brought
action against the state insurance
commissioner, o. X. Stablein, fol
false arrest and Imprisonment, but
the case was dropped.
The discovery of Christianson''
body was made by Luther McCrea
foreman of the bridge crew in which
Christianson worked, and by Harri
son Porter, a pump repairer for tn
Milwaukee, while repairing the GOV
er of the well. They positively iden
titled the remains, and papers in hi
pockets established Identification be
yond doubt.
An examination of the remains re
vealed two ribs broken on the lief
side over the heart. A coroner's jur.
has been impaneled to view the re
mains.

STATE GAME II
Meets With Sioux Falls Sportsmen
and Discusses Game Business.

Sioux Falls, April PA number
of local sportsmen were called to-
gether to meet with State Game
Warden Hedrick, who vas in the
city over night. Mr.. Hedrick was
bombarded with questions relative
to what the department had done
the past year and what they propos-
ed to do in the future.
Mr.. Hedrick showed a willingness
to answer any and all questions
which were put. up to him. In some
instances he went deep into details
regarding the different sections of
both the game and fish laws and
many who were present received in
formation that they did not think of
Mr.. Hedrick asked for suggestions
regarding amendments to the pres
ent game and fish laws.
Those present not only gave sug-
gestions regarding changes in the
law, but also suggested what they
thought would be the advantage OF
sportsmen in connection with the
importation of game birds and the
stocking of the streams and lakes
with suitable fish.
IhtIt was dlSO sOiuc ldlh dS IL
the open season for the shooting of
prairie chickens.
Mr.. Hedrick expressed himself as
favorable to a law which would give
one section of the state a seemingly
advantage yer others regarding the
open season, but thought that when
the matter was evened up each &C.
ton would have no cause for COM
plant.
Local sportsmen were not at all
backward in criticizing the manner
in which the deputy game wardens
had been appointed. which deprived
this section of the state of any pro-
lection. Mr.. Hedrick assured the
sportsmen that he would do all in
his power to see that there would
be a deputy in this section OF the
state.

Washington. - Gold shipments 10
Europe are practically at an end for
his year. in the opinion of George f.
Roberts, director of the mint.
Recently, Roberts said the excellent
grain crop in this country, coupled
with the bad crop conditions in Eu-
rope. would soon swing the balance OF
.rade back toward the United States
and check the outward movement or
gold.
This prediction was realized and the
exchange rate had fallen to point
where the further expectation of gold
would be Improbable, and it seems
unlikely that Paris viii make further
taroads upon the United States sup
ply CT gold.
July and August promise to be rec
ord months for wheat expectations. st.
Louis, Kansas City and Chicago have
reported great sales of wheat to be
exported. Engagements for September
and October are also reported. 1t is
estimated that at least 75,000,000 bush
els OF winter wheat will be exported
this month and next.

Standardization of rural schools. State
Superintendent of Public instruction
Mary C. c. Bradford has evolved a
tentative plan to accomplish this pur-
pose in Colorado. AS beginning in
the proposed Standardization Mrs.

grades of certificates, to be issued to
three grades of county schools. The
first grade would be issued to those
schools complying with the largest
number of the requirement outlined.
The second to those schools possess
ing a lesser number of qualifica-
tions, and the third to the schools
demonstrating the minimum of eff
cheney and equipment that could be
accepted by the public school depart
ment as emitting them to state recog-
milton of this sort.

VAST AREA FOR HoMESEEKER.
There Are 1,164,531 Acres in Denver
District That May Be Filed On by
Settlers

Denver.-The unappropriated and
unreserved lands, open to- settlement
in the Denver land district of Colo
RADIO total at present 1,164,531 acres.
This district includes sixteen counties
surrounding Denver and extending
northward to the Wyoming line and
comprises approximately one-fourth OF
the state of Colorado.
This figure does not include forest
reserves and other land Withdrawals
made by the government for special
purposes. but only those lands open
to entry as homesteads, mining and
desert claims.
Owing to the wet year and the fine
crops of the dry farmer, the number
of entries made for the year ending
June 80 last greatly exceeds those of
previous years. Approximately 250,-
900 acres were filed on in the Denver
district alone.
The number of contested claims
which varies directly with the inter-
est taken in public lands, averages
now about ten each day.
Larimer county contains the larg-
est number of vacant acres of govern
ment land with a total of S39,960.
Douglas county has the smallest num-
ber, with a total of 4.760. The coun-
ties containing mineral lands still un-
occupied are Boulder, Clear Creek.

HOME TRADE is $4,000, ,ooo, 600.
Secretary RedfieId Plans Stimulation
of Export Trade.

Washington. = Although world
leader in the interchange of products
among its own people, the United
States foreign trade is far short of its
immediate possibilities. Such is the
conclusion of officials of the Depart
ment of Commerce after a study of the
statistical abstract of the United
States for 1913. American home trade
at present is estimated at about s40,-
000, ,000,0 900, which is equal to the inter
national exchanges of the world and
approximately ten times the value of its
own foreign trade, now valued at Si,-
00O,000,000.
The abstract shows that the present
American export trade of S2,500,G00,-
600 represents about S25 per capita.
A per capita basis equal to that OF
Argentina, it says. would raise Ameri-
can export power to $4,000. ,000 and
one equal to that of Belgium would
bring its exports to $4,000, ,0o0, coo a
year. while its aggregate of foreign
trade, when upon a per capita basis as
large as Canada's. would be consider
ably over $4,000, 100000.
The United States commercial pow
er and its strong international power
is further emphasized In the abstract.
1t shows that the United States, with
25S,O00 miles of railway, possesses
one-third of the worlds total. 1t leads
in the mileage of its telegraph lines,
performs more than one-third of the
worlds mail service on it's own routes,
while its public debt Of s1,0O0,OO0,00O
is less than that of Italy, Austria-Huh-
gary. Spain, Germany, Australia,
Japan, Great Britain and is less than
one-sixth that of France and one
fourth that of Russia.
In the period. since 1870 farm prod
ucts rose in value from $4,000, ,000, 900,
to s1O.0OO,000 year; the coal out
put from less than 3O,OOO,0OO to 50O,-
100000 long tons; copper from s12,5O0
to 100000 tons; pig iron from 2.0oo,-
