as it continued to crumble under his
touch. A younger brother, Roland,
was sitting on the pier, and he has

Chief Gilbertson was telephoned to

went to the scene of the tragedy.
They had nothing to do rescue
work with, and the darkness made it
impossible to locate the exact spot
where the boy broke thru. They Sc
cured lanterns, couple of hundred
feet Of rope, pike poles and other me-

the search. Using an old fiat bot

Rudolph Swenson was born in this
city, November 10, 1904, and had just
passed his eleventh birthday. He was
a member of the "Win One Club" of
the First Methodist Sunday School,
and attended school at the Lincoln
building. He was bright and attrac-
tive lad, and the sorrowing parents
have the sympathy of the entire com.
munity in their sad bereavement.

Skating has been unusually good
this year, and hundreds have taken
advantage of the opportunity, but the
fact that the lake in some places has
been open most of the time, the high
winds and the occasional warm days
make it dangerous to venture beyond
places where it is known to be alb
solutely safe.
The outcome of this accident is
that the city is putting lights down in
the bay, where most Of the skating
is done. 1t would also be a good
scheme to put wire fence of some
kind, across the ice at the end of the
safety zone.

JOHN B. irwin HAS
A WONDERFUL COW
Produced 1900 Pounds Of But.
ter Fat in One Year and
Breaks Record

John B. Irwin, son-in-law of c. Hen.
nings of this city, has broken another
record on his famous Minneapolis
dairy farm. We clip the following
from Kimbalrs Dairy Farmer:
"The Holstein-Friesian breed has
produced a. COW that has given 1900
pounds of butter-fat in IL consecu-
tive months. The actual figures are
1,205.O9. That is at the rate of q
little over 100 pounds of tat per month.
This cow is Duchess Skylark Orms-
by, owned by John B. Irwin, propri-
etor Of Woodlake Farm, Minneapolis,
MINI.
"The 1,200-pound fat record marks
new era in Holstein-Friesian an
nails and in all dairy history. The
rapidity with which records have been
made and broken during the past few
years have made it possible for the
world to grasp these wonders of pro-
duction more readily. Nevertheless,
had anyone said a few years ago
that the then famous record of 998
pounds of fat would be beat by more
than 200 pounds of fat, the prophet
would have been classed as an idle
dreamer. This year the feat has been
accomplished and Mr.. Hansen, the
care-taker and chef for Duchess-a
man who is in a position to under
stand the possibilities of dairy produc-
tion, through his long experience and
through his work during the past year
advises that other prospects which
may surpass this record are by no
means impossible.
"Ten years ago, another COW, Queen
Ormsby, wrote the first chapter in
semi-oficial work in Wisconsin and
possibly the first in the Holstein-
Friesian breed. The exact date of
the beginning of this test was Novem-
Der 2, 1905. The COW, carrying very
largely the same blood lines as the
COW that has just made the 1900
pound fat record, produced 584 pounds
of butter-fat in one year. At that
time this was considered most ex-
cellent record. This test was under
taken by the University of Wisconsin,
and the certificate of the test is mark.

that it is highly priced by it's posses

these, as we'll as all breeders of the
black and white cattle, and all dairy:
men will be honored by this record
and all will seek to extend to the for

lark the congratulations that are sc
honestly earned. Kimball's Dairy
Farmer is proud to have this first
1,200-pound cow appear upon Its
cover.

CITY TOPICS.

There is really no reason for longer
postponing the oiling of the main
thorofares of Willmar. The sprinkling
of streets with water is only a par.
tial relief from the dust evil. 1t il
very unsatisfactory at the best When
it is needed the most the service is
usually inadequate. The oiling Of
streets has passed the experimental
stage, and it has been demonstrated
that when properly applied it not only
keeps down the dust but helps to keep
the streets in good condition. It is
none too early for the people living
along the streets that should be oiled
to discuss the matter and ask the City
Council to take the preliminary steps
towards having it done in the spring.
You don't have to walk around many
blocks of Willmar before you begin
to realize what improvements in the
building line have been made this
season, and still the supply of rooms
and flats is short of the demand. The
city is in need of number of smaller
houses which might be rented at a
moderate cost.
The Christmas season is upon us.
Willmar merchants are making their
usual preparations to cater to the
holiday shoppers. The auto and i'm,
proved roads bring localities before
out of reach within an easy distance
Of the city. The value of an adver.
tising medium which circulates not
only in the homes of the city and vic.
unity, but also among the people OF
neighboring communities is great 70
the wise seeker of publicity. Every
issue of the Tribune which goes out
without his store news is lost op
portunity Of no small significance to
the merchant.
