Car Owners Of the State

Julius A. Schmahl, secretary of
state of Minnesota, has completed
the biggest task that has ever been
assigned to any department of the
Minnesota state government, when
after four months of steady work
on the part of Mr.. Schmahl and his
staff of employees he completed a
perfect card index system of the
SO, 900 licensed automobile owners
of Minnesota, that number having
been registered in his department
at the close of business on the even
ing of Aug. 20.
The card system which Mr..
Schmahl has inaugurated, and it is
probably the only card index sys-
tenn of licensed automobile owners
in the union, indexes all the owners
in the counties in which they re-
side, and is then followed by the
postoffice address of each owner
under the postoffice heading, and
from that group continues down to
the alphabetical order. By this
system it is possible for Mr.
Schmahl and his employees, when a
machine is stolen, and when the
owner cannot recall the number OF
his license, to give him the mum.
Der and all registered information
regarding the stolen car within E

before the discount period expired.
Oh yes, it was pretty soft for the
old man, pretty soft! Then, sud
denly, the editor sat up and rubbed
his eyes. The Office devil, grin
ming, was standing in the doorway.
Boss, there's man outside says
the press won't run till he gets
the money for the last order of
white paper. Mother feller says
the plate can't git here this week,
cause there's been a wreck on the
railroad. 1t don't make no diff
ference, specially, cause the press
man threw gimmick in the phylux
and the doofddle's strained so the
press can't run nohow. Circula-
ton mans quit cause he says folks
ain t readin newspapers no more,
an the advertisin' fell off this
week forty per cent. That amt
all. But the editor would hear
no more. He fired an ink bottle
at the devil and kicked the cat
He hadn' t worked but ten hours
that dav, so he was full of pep.
Then he scratched his head and
wondered how the dickens he'd
fallen asleep during Office hours.
With that he put on the ball and
chain for eight hours more and
then went home and slept the ftfuI
sleep of the lazy man. Pretty soft!

FREIGHT MEN

The freight men of the various

BURNSIDE lake Sunday and enjoyed
every moment of their stay on this
beautiful body of water.
The party came up in the Pull
man car, Spokane" and the D.
& 1. R. observation car and diner
attached to the 'highball'' and ar
rived in the city at about E o'clock.
After breakfast on the car, the
party was met by Jas. Moonan OF
the local station and in autos were
conveyed to BURNSIDE where they
were shown the beauties of the lake
from launch ride on its waters.
Among the points of interest visit
ed were the Brownell island, the
Oliver camps and BURNSIDE Lodge
where the party had dinner.
On the return to Ely the party
was taken to the mines, Winton
and Section 80. At Winton they
also attended the ball game. The
return trip to Duluth was begun at
E o'clock and resolutions of thanks
to President House, General Pas
senger Agent Johnson and J. E.

Only a Dream

The paper had just been put to
bed" and the editor leaned back in
his chair and stretched. Nothing
to do now" he thought, until
next week" Pretty soft! Wonder
if the fish are biting down on
Yaller creek?" He settled back,
put his feet on his desk and wig
gled down comfortably. This
thing of being an editor was just
about right. All he had to do was
to loaf around all week poking his
nose into other folks business, then,
when publication day came, a
couple of hours at the office did the
trick. Funny how hard some
fellows had to work to make liv-
ing. Well, it showed, after all,
that brains counted. The man
with merely muscle to take him
through life had to strain and sweat
and labor for paltry pittance. but
life was good to the man with
brains. People struggled to help
him get along. He was recognized
as the motive power of the com
munity. He was respected
People gladly allowed him to lead
in thought, and were willing to
contribute to his. support even if he
didn't work for it. For instance
there was the long line of persons
waiting to subscribe, their money
in their hands and anxiety in their
faces for fear the circulation limit
would be reached before their turn
came. Then there was the infor-
nation line. These men came in
every week with all the news of
the community, with names and
dates and initials correct, ready to
put right in the paper without
editing. That other line over to
the left was waiting to contract for
advertising space, while others
were pushing their way to the
cashiers window to pay their bills

few seconds after the information
has been asked for.
The work of Mr.. Schmahl and
his employees has brought forth
some interesting information.
AS was generally supposed Henne-
pin county leads in the number of
automobiles of the different
counties of the state, it having 12,-
73o machines, of which the city of
Minneapolis alone has 1,722.
This is more than twice the num-
Der of machines licensed from
Ramsey county, the number of the
latter being 5,721, of which St.
Paul residents have registered
5,534. St. Louis county, the largest
county in the state, has only 2,543
machines, of which Duluth owns
,477.
In proportion to the population
Redwood county has the largest
number of automobiles, the total
being 1,542, leading such large
counties as Brown, Faribault,
Goodhue, Ottertail and many
others with a larger population.
Lyon and Renville counties follow
close second and third, where the
proportionate population is consid-
cred. These three counties are
rich agricultural counties of south
western Minnesota and the
machines owned in these counties
are largely the property of farmers.

S. P. IRELAND DEAD
Former WintOn Man Dies at
| HankinsOn, n. D.

years was in charge of the lumber

pany at Winton, died at his home
in Hankinson, S. D. on August lS.

ing of Mr.. Ireland said:
The grim reaper ended the
earthly sufferings of Sylvanus P.
Ireland at his home last evening at
eight O'Clock. Deceased was

companied his parents to Iowa, the
journey being made by covered

Volunteer Infantry. He enlisted
for three years but was discharged
Feb. IL, 1868, on account of
physical disability. He saw SER
vice along the Mississippi river as
far south as Memphis, Tenn, and
later was detailed for frontier duty
against Indians with headquarters
at Fort Smelling, Mimi. He was
one of a party of troops that
marched as far north as the city of
Bemidji, Mimi, in an expedition
against the Indians.
He engaged in the lumber and
machinery business later in life and
at the time of his death was the
head of the S. P. Ireland & Sons
Lumber company of this city.
The family located in Hankinson
thirteen years ago. coming from
Rockford, Iowa.
Deceased is survived by a wife
and four children: Mrs. M. c.
Woodard of Portland, Ore, Guy
L., Roy L., and Van c., all OF
this city. Mr.. Woodland, son-in.
law, and Miss Ireland of Mime
apolis, cousin, are expected to
arrive tonight.
| Deceased was of kindly an6
genial nature and his loss is
mourned most deeply by those who
enjoyed the pleasure of close ac
quaintance.

gregational church tomorrow
