NEW RESIDENTS FROM FARM
ING SECTIONS OF ILLINOIS,

Ten thousand and more sturdy cit
liens are coming into Minnesota each

communities.
Each year Minnesota brings it's av-
erage of immigrant movables to a
higher percentage of the total number
of carloads received, according to fig
ures compiled by Fred D. Sherman,
immigration commissioner. The NOV
ables are handled at the Minnesota
Transfer for the Northwest States
and reports are made each month to
the immigration department.
The department has revealed that

total cars Minnesota received that
year was 25 per cent.
In 1914, 5,277 families in Other
states decided to remove to the fine
farming lands of the Northwest, anc
Minnesota received as it's share 2,35(
cars of movables or A per cent.
This incrase has been beaten by {
good margin in the first ten months Of
this year. In a total of 3,848 cars Of
movables handled at the transfer thus

EXANDRIA
(From the Citizen)

About 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon,
Charley Bloom of Minneapolis, in the
employ Of the John Mansfield Co., fell
from the roof of the new building of
the Alexandria Hardware and Lum-
Der Co., to the ground on the south
SIDE of the building, a distance Of
thirty feet. He struck on his head on
2x4. A cash several inches long was
cut in his forehead and his skull was
fractured. He was carried to DR..
Keene's office and his injuries were
attended to. In about thirty min
utes he recovered consciousness and
was taken to Minneapolis that eve
ming on No. 4, accompanied by DR..
Keene. He was placed in a hospital
in that city and will soon recover. 1t
is not known exactly what caused the
man to fall, but it is supposed that
the high wind caused him to lose his
balance. 1t was narrow escape.

Arthur Gallop of New Munich, Fl
years of age, suffered three fractures
of his left arm last Thursday morn
ing while engaged in threshing on
the Wachtman place three miles
from New Munich. The young man
had climbed up on the separator to
fill the grease cup on the cylinder
box and made mis-step; in falling
he threw out his left arm, catching
it in the betting. His fellows saw
his predicament and threw off the
belt, stopping the machinery, but
not before the arm was badly broken,
the bone tearing his flesh and skin
severely. Mr.. Gallup was brought to
Melrose at once and placed under
medical care. The injuries are heal
ing as rapidly as could be expected.

living six miles north of town, died
Tuesday evening at his home after a
years sickness caused by cancer. Flu

STANDING TIMBER.
Rule by Which to Figure Out Its Con
tents In Board Feet.

Rule by Which to Figure Out Its Con-
tents In Board Feet.
The contents of trees in board feet
Is usually figured by Doyle's rule. This
rule is to deduct four inches from the
small diameter of the log for slab,
squaring one quarter of the remainder
and multiplying the results by the
length of the log, in feet. For example,
to find the contents of twelve foot
log twenty-four inches in diameter Qn-
side the bark at the small end-24
inches minus inches equal 20 inches;
20 inches by N equal 5 inches; 8 by 8
by II equal 300 board feet.
Perhaps an easier way to get at the
same result is to state the rule as fol-
lows: From a sixteen foot log deduct
four inches for slab and square the
remainder. For longer or shorter logs
the contents would be proportioned to
the length. In the above case it would
be worked out thus: "a minus 4 equals
20, 20 by 20 equals 400, for sixteen
foot log But a twelve foot log Is
CWelFe-S1AleSfluS Ut tuIec-QudllCiS 90
long as sixteen foot log; therefore
this log contains three-quarters of 400
board feet. or 800 board feet. II the
log were twenty feet long 1t would
contain one and one-quarter times 400
feet. or 800 feet.
A common way of estimating stand
ing timber is to estimate the length
and the top and bottom diameters and
apply Doyle's rule, using the average
of both diameters and the whole
length of the tree. Rural New Yorker.
