CONFESSION duplicates FIVE
Man Arrested on Hoidup Charge Ad
mits Guilt and Accuses
Others.

Minneapolis.-Five of the nine men
arrested have, according to the police,
been implicated by confessions in re-
cent holdups in Minneapolis.
Dan Goehringer has amplified his
confession and accused John O'Keefe
and Paul Hoenig of leading him into
the holdup game. Goehringer said
that he refused to take part in the
highway game until O'Keefe and
Hoenig had induced him to take some
heroin.
After I got a shot of the dope I'd
have held up a regiment" said Goeh-
ringer, who is only 10 years old. He
told in detail how he at first acted as
lookout for the other two men, and
how after he had gained assurance he
was allowed to take his turn holding
the revolver on victims.
Several recent cases in which po
lice or pedestrians have seen three
men separate after talking on street
corners in the residence district are
now thought by the police to be con
ferences of this trio. 1t was at first
believed that the third man in these
instances was holdup victim.

Red Wing Becomes Utopia.

Red Wing.-This city has become
Utopia for winter sports with the ad.
vent of snow and cold weather. The
skating Kinks on the bay and in the
south end are being we'll patronized by
hundreds of lovers of this popular
sport. Coasting has also come into
favor, especially with the younger
people. One of the finest rides in the
city can be secured on Central ave
nue., where the hobs skim over the
sparkling snow for a distance of al
most a mile. The hills in the city
have been taken possession of by the
younger generation and their merry
voices ring out from morning until
night.
With the excellent sleighing now
prevailing, sleighride parties have
again become all the rage. Throngs
of young people are driving about the
city in bob sleighs making the air
ring with their shouts and songs.

STATES VAST TIMBER YIELD
Billions of Feet Supplied In 44.Year
Period-virgin Pine Still
Available.

Minneapolis. Minnesota's great
pine forests have supplied logs seal
ing 34,800,O 100000 feet since 1870. &C
cording to a statement prepared BY
c. Y. Sinclair, state surveyor general
of logs and lumber for the second, or
Minneapolis, district Mr.. Sinclair's
estimate is based on the records of his
office from 1870 to 1914, covering the
upper Mississippi valley and all logs
cut and scaled as far down as the
st. Paul boom.
In spite of this tremendous drain on
the states timber resources, there
is still virgin timber in the far north
ern district to keep big mills running
up there for IL to Is years, Mr.. Sin.
clair says. While actual saving al
Minneapolis is small now and soon
will be wound up completely, this city
is the headquarters for the lumber in
dustry of the whole northwest, and its
wholesale concerns handle more lum
Der now than when the city's mills
were saving at their top capacity in
the season of 1899.
Including logs RATED at st. Paul TO,
mills down the river as far as Han
nibal, Mo-, the Minneapolis district
since 1870 has an output of 16,60O,
100000 feet.
Beginning in 1870, the first decade
shows an annual leg output for the dis
trict averaging 100 100000 feet. IL
the 10 years from 1880 to 1890, it ros,
to 300,000,000 feet year, and theI
came the apex of Minnesota's pin,
production, from 1890 to 1904.
In these fourteen years, the Mime
apolis district averaged 60O,OO0,OO
feet a year, 1899 being the banne
year, with 770,0OO,OO0 feet. For tn
six years following to 1910, it droppe,
to 400,000,000 feet year, and sine
1910 it has averaged 300,000,O00 fee
and is decreasing each year.
In that 44-year period, Mr.. Sinclai
estimates, the Duluth and the Still
water districts together cut about tn
/ same total as Minneapolis.

Q. James Steel. Battleford. Sas-

Scotland, 1904. His fare advanced to
bring himself and family to Canada.
Took up homestead, which he sold
later $500 per acre, buying 1000

NAMED in the Old Country my gray

without capital. Now farming 500
acres, valued at $500 per acre. Pur-
chased originally at $500 per acre.

All this talk about the exploitation
of labor by capital, class distinction,
living wage, high cost Of living. and
30 forth, doesn't hold the slightest
interest for the Canadian farmer.
Why? Because he has proved that
you can't begin too poor to become
rich in Canada; that free homesteads
preclude the possibility OF being
robbed Of freedom and independence;
that the high cost Of living can't hurt
the man who grows most Of his own
necessities; that his labor brings re-
