Will Develop Granite Deposit

The development of resources that
have been neglected up to the pres
ent time, and the employment of a
large number of men in the necessary
work, are promised as the result of
negotiations that are in progress for
the acquisition of an enormous deposit
of granite on the Wilson ranch at
Lonetree. Among the parties inter-
ested are l. E. Jenkins and H. w.
Guyor, of Miles City, two practical
stone masons, who declare that the
quantity of the deposit for monument
and building purposes is not excelled
by any granite in the country.
After prolonged investigation and
the submission of the granite to prac.
tical tests. Messrs. Jenkins and Guy
or came to this city yesterday to make
arrangements by which the property
may be worked. They report that the
stone is of such a quality that it will
take a high polish, an important ele-
ment in which many deposits of gran
lite are deficient. The nearest eastern
point from which a product can now
be obtained is st. Cloud, MIMI, and
there is said to be no other quarry
between that place and the Pacific
coast from which a similar grade of
rock is produced.
Papers are being prepared for the
incorporation of a company to finance
and operate the property and within
a few weeks it is expected a force of
men will be employed in the work of
preparing the Lonetree product for
shipment.

titlon almost unanimously. There
seems to be little opposition from any
quarter and it looks now like the
question would get to a vote of the
people interested for final decision.

Our PaniCky Tourists.

The stories circulated in this
lconntry by hysterical tourists and
their friends are being happily re-
futed. One would have thought that
Americans were about to be massa-
cred in parts of Europe. The truth
now appears that in all countries the
governments, and the people have
put themselves out to make things
easy for the Americans, whose pres
ence is appreciated, for they leave
the little trails Of gold that help the
Europeans to live. In the German
capital the homes of the wealthiest
and the highest have been thrown
open to them and the kaiser him
self has not been too busy to sug-
eest aid and even kindnesses to those
who are stranded in his lands. That
some should have been detained is
natural enough for some may have
had maps and papers on their per-
son which would lead petty officials
to exercise caution and suspicion.
Some Americans were simply thrown
into panicky feelings, natural
enough feeling on the part of idlers
and butterflies whose chief concern
has been to fit about in this work
a-day world of ours.

the late mistress of the White
House. says yesterdays Mason City

Naturally the choice Of these
representatives were those who had

showed his close relationship with
the speaker, although of an opposite
party.-NOrthwood Anchor.

EARLY HISTORICAL RELIC.
Wagon Loaded With L. @. Band In.
struments Meets Fate of the
''One Hoss Shay"

How an ancient wagon used to
transport instruments for the Luth-
er College band between Ashby and
Barrett, Mimi, met the fate of the
Zone Hoss Shay is entertainingly
told by the Grant County Herald in
last weeks issue.
"A demise which is greatly to be
lamented, occurred between Ashby
and Barrett Saturday afternoon,
when one of the county's earliest
historical relics breathed it's last
sigh while conveying the instruments
and baggage of the Luther College
band to the boys for their afternoon
concert.
"The details of the early life of
this wagon are not at present known
to US, but we have it on no less au-
thority than that of B. o. Barlow of
Barrett, that this wagon made its
first appearance in the county in
1873, when it came over from Sauk
Center via the Indian trail. The
wagon was at that time the best
wagon in the county, in fact about
the only one. 1t came of good
StOughton parentage, and its de.
cease in the prime of life at the age
OF Al, will be deeply felt by old ac-
quaintances in the community.
Although we did not hear the
details of the Last illness, we un-
derstand that the wagon had been in
bad shape for the last twenty years.
1t probably took it's flight to the land
where all good wagons go, in much
the same manner as the wonderful
One Hoss Chaise.'
1T seemed too bad that the wagon
should have been the means OF
spelling the afternoon band concert,
land yet the man who sent out that
particular wagon with the impor-
tant load can hardly be blamed eth
Ter When interviewed he stated,
Biggest surprise of my life. First
time she's broke down since the mas
sacre. Course we amt used her
pone nuther since then, but she 'us, a
good wagon for the shape she was
in ;"

are that President Wilson will seek

credited with wanting the nomina-

Is CIGAR A BRIBE?
Question Put Up to Secretary OF
State by Candidate.

Des Moines, Ia, Aug. 31.-Is CIV
ing a cigar bribe? If it is, then
it is unlawful for a candidate to
give voter a cigar.
But at the state house some of
those to whom tie question has been
put, most of whom have had expert
ence with campaign cigars, the con-
census Of opinion Is that the giving
of a cigar is no inducement whatev-
er to voter to feel kindly toward
the giver and that, in short. a cigar
cannot be regarded as a bribe.
The question was put up to the
secretary of state by an anxious in
Quirer who wanted the straight of
it as to the ethics and legality of
cigar giving in campaign times; also
wanted to know If these was any
thing in the law to prevent a candi-
date from making contributions to
a campaign fund or for committee
use. OF course the latter Is distinct
ly encouraged. But there isn't a
word directly on the cigar business,
and it all depends on the cigar.

advance of the annual meeting which
will be held Monday morning in the
