ROBERTSON HERE AGAIN

Rev. DR.. E. P. Robertson Of Wesley
college, Grand Forks, who preached
so "acceptably to the congregation OF
the First Presbyterian church last
Sunday has been invited to again fill
the pulpit Sunday, March 8. Dr.. Rob-
ertson has accepted, and will preach
both morning and evening. .
DIR, Robertson is one of the most
logical and effective pulpit speakers in
the state, and he should be heard by
a. very large audience on Sunday. He
is a man of delightful humor, a clear
and incisive thinker, eloquent, and
with a. thorough Christian experience,
from which he draws interesting IL

that the steel crew would have work
here for another week, making three
weeks they have been on this job.
The two other crews will remain
about a month longer to place the ties,

to lay the guard rails.

derive the business from these towns,

railroad from obtaining a foothold and

The Great Northern will get abso-

Stock Raising Gives
Place to Dairying

The live stock and sheep raising in
dustries Of the United States are under
going a profound change, according to
a report from the committee on statis-
tics and standards Of the Chamber Of
CONNER ce OF America.
In examining into business and in
dustriaI conditions from a business
economy standpoint, the committee finds
that all over the United States, with
scarcely an exception, the dair! indus
try is becoming the most valuable of all
OF the pursuits of husbandry, and the
one most profitable TO farmers. Dairy
cows alone OF all cattle, were more nu-
merous in 1910 than in 1907 the commit
tee finds.
With respect to meat prices and the
decrease OF cattle. it is declared that
this Is an economic situation that will
solve itself.
AN impartial suTN ey OF the situation
seems to warrant the statements that
while the price of cattle will probably
continue high in the near future, the
various agencies will gradually work
for a nore abundant supply and a more
reasonable price

that Jacob H. schiff and ether MEM
bers OF Kuhn, Loeb & CO. will issue
an announcement shortly similar to
that made by the Morgan company last
week.
The Morgan statement was accepted
about the Interstate Commerce Com
mission offices as meaning the inside
group of the Money trust is willing to
give up some of its direct agencies of
control over railroad systems in the
hope the commission will grant the
requested increase in freight rates. r.
A comparison of the list OF railroads
drew. with the list of Inns to be al
fected by the proposed increases, shows
they are virtually, identical.
Representatives of the Administration
say privately they considered the move
of the greatest Importance in showing
that the Wall Street group has finally
come to a realization that the finan-
cial oligarchy is not defsnsible, and
that it marks the beginning of the fall
of the Money trust.
They added the reduction in the num-
Der of directorates could be accepted
as nothing but beginning, and the
process of decentralization would have
10 go much further to satisfy the >Ad-
ministration.
Must Sever Interests.
In order to meet the Administration s
wishes, the four great financial institu-
tions that form the arch of the So
called money trust will have to sever
completely the community of interests
that binds them. These concerns are:
J. P. Morgan &; Co.
The First National Bank.
The National City Bank.
Kuhn, Loeb & Co.
When these four institutions announce
4 dissolution OF the agreement which
provides they shall not compete against
each other. the Administration will be
willing to believe that the fall of the
money trust is imminent.
Competition for money between these
four firms would be accepted by the Ad-
ministration as the greatest single fac
tor in the reorganization of the business
world. ii is said. If these institutions are
put upon q competing basis, and the
great industrial and railroad systems
that form their tributaries are allowed
open market then the Administration
VII be satisfied that the era of the
new freedom is at hand.
The report of the Pujo Committed
shows every great corporation and rail-
road is dominated by one of these in.
stitutions, and that the community OF
interests between them is so great thai
Il is impossible for any other group tC

cluded several men.
After music by children from Miss
Decks room, and a reading by Miss

A few weeks ago 0. II. StOner, the
grocer, had an advertisement in
which he offered to give a sack Of
candy to every child who cut out his
advertisement and brought it to the
store. He gave away large number
of sacks of candy and was surprised
Monday morning to receive letter
from Los Angeles, California, con-
tanning the advertisement. 1t was
from Mr.. and Mrs F. A. ROhr, form
erly of this city, Mrs. ROhr being a
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. w. H. Bob
bitt, and they wrote they were a

home, but wanted some Leon candy.
Mr.. Stoner forwarded them a nice
box by parcel past, and we know they
will enjoy it.

fire DESTROYED HOME
The Old MAGELLAN Home Just North
of Leon, was Destroyed by Fire
Last thursday Evening.

The residence of Glen Rumley, just
outside the north city limits of Leon,
known as the old Machlan place, was
destroyed by fire last Thursday even
ing. Mr. Rumley and his mother
ing their household goods in the
house, which had been vacated the
previous day by C. G. Biddison. They
had been burning lot of old papers
and trash in a stove and fire start
ed around the flue. 1t was first dis
covered by Mrs. A. L. Ackerley who
lives south of the place, and the
alarm was finally telephoned into the
central office. Considerable delay
was experienced by the fire boys III
getting autos to haul the fire appar-
atus out and the whole house was
ablaze before they reached the
scene. The boys soon had a line OF
hose laid and although they were
using $50 feet of hose, clear outside
of the city limits and on the highest
ground around Leon, the water pres
sure was good as soon as the mud
was washed out and they soon had
the fire eXteinguished, but the house
was practically destroyed.
Glen Rumley had left the house
not more than twenty or thirty min
utes before the fire was discovered.
He estimates his loss at about 5 500
and had $1,000 insurance. All of
the household goods which had been
moved to the house were saved. Mr.
Rumley will build new house as
soon as spring opens up.

Leon Chapter No. 352, o. E. S.
held special meeting on Monday
evening for initiation, and after the
work there was an agreeable surprise
perpetrated by the gentlemen of the
order on the Past Matrons, when
they were called on the floor and
each presented with a beautiful gold
Past Matrons jewel as gift from
the brothers of Leon Chapter in
recognition of~faithful services. The
brethren had carefully guarded the
secret, and when the ladies received
the handsome Jewels they were COM
pletely takenlby surprise, but this did
not lessen their appreciation of the
gift. Those who received jewels
were Mesdames Horace Farquhar,
Marion Woodard, E. H. Alexander,
and 3. L. Eiker.

Received Hungarian Partridges.

Deputy game warden George
Myers last week received consign-
ment of fifty Hungarian partridges
from the state game warden, and
they were taken to the farm of Bid
Frost and turned loose. The farm
ers of that section have agreed to al
low the use of over 1000 acres of
their land for game preserve and
will allow no hunting. The partridges
were all matured and when released
flew direct to the timber where they
will mate up for the season. There
is a heavy penalty attached to the
killing of these partridges and the
game warden will prosecute to the
limit any one who kills them. II
allowed to propagate for few years
there will be plenty of them in the
country so that hunters can enjoy
some real sport.
