beauty spots for the eye. Com

After a short week of tinseled

the alleyways or litter up the
back yard for weeks -
This interesting question is
added:
Certainly the Christmas trees
In the southwest corner Of the

I. o. Ofsthun. the we'll known
GlenWood banker. was in the city
Wednesday on his way to Ingram,
Mont. q town west of HavFe, in re.
Spouse to a message stating, his pre-
sence there was urgent. Mr. Ofsthun
served az clerk of court several
terms in Pope county and is one of
the best posted men on politics in
this section of the state. While
here he predicted the election of S.
Y. Gordon, of Browns Valley, as
speaker of the house of representa-
tives In the Minnesota legislature.
According to the observations of
Walter Hanson. one of the popular
statisticians at the Jones Lumber
yards in this city and formerly man
ager of yard at Cyrus, future trou-
bIes with the Cyrus carpenters may be
averted. One reason carpenters there
have trouble in building is that they
make the inside of house so large
the outside can't be put On without
stretching. and this cracks the lum-
Der. Another reason is that they
make the outside too big and can t
get the inside into it without sqeez-
ing it, and this makes the walls
rough.

EUROPEAN WAR

 Have Our Foods.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 14-Secretary of Agriculture Houston is very op- timistic over the prospects for pros- perity for the United States, and es- pecially the agricultural and manu- featuring industries. Secretary Hous- ton states that the crops in Europe have been exceptionally poor the past year and that England, France and the other countries at war must have our foods or starve and that if Eng land and France once clear the seas of German ships ocean traffic will be resumed and tremendous ship ments of wheat and manufactured goods will be made to Europe.
 The United States is the only large producer of foodstuffs undisturbed by the present war and must supply the world. The farmers will secure big prices while the labor of the country will be busy manufacturing the products needed across the ocean, so says the secretary.

The coroner,s jury which yester- day went from Copper Center to the foot of the Tazlina lake to inves- tigate the cause of the death of the man whose body had been found the day previous by Roy Morrison brought in a verdict to the effect that John Smith had been killed by persons un. known. The head was found crush ed and the skull had been broken. The body had been hidden in the brush, being partially covered with sod and willows.
 Investigation of the clothing reveal ed the fact that the body was that of a man about thirty years old, and from the fact that in the clothing were found cards showing him to be member of the miners union at Black Diamond, Wash, also certi- ficate as a coal miner in Illinois, and membership card in the Eagles, all made out to the name of John Smith, the identity of the man was made out.
 Smith was born in Austria, accord. ing to the cards; was thirty years old, i've feet ten inches in height. The body was 50 badly decomposed that no description of his appearance can be gwen. The man had been dead for. about two months or pos. sibly longer.

case investigated and has asked the Department of Justice to send De- tective Mcclure to the scene at once: The chief deputy has sent descrip- tion of the dead man to all points along the trail and will endeavor to trace his movement. It is now be- lieved that the Siwash on the river are guilty of the murder, not only of Smith, but also of the two men killed last summer near Willow creek. ....,.
 Ole Nelson and Herman Anderson were murdered near Willow creek about August of last year, the bodies being found by Frank Bingham, who operates the Willow creek roadhouse. The men were on the road to the coast when shot and killed and their bodies left near the roadside until found. The government has been making every effort to locate a num- Der of foreigners who made the trip to the coast about the same time but so far has been unsuccessful. Many, however, have held the belief that the murders were committed by na- tives. and the finding of another body at Taxlina will strengthen their be- lief.
