New Gork.-Prospects Of an early

nounced to be much brighter today after
the adjournment OF the resumed confer
ence of operators and organized mine
workers from those States. The miners,
it was learned, have been given to I'M
derstand that they may look for conces-
sions with regard to the mine run de
mand which has deadlocked the mine
owners and their employees for nearly
two week.
No direct offer has been made, but
sufficient intimation has been given the
miners OF the intention of the operators

State wage scale will be agreed upon be-
fore the New York conference ends
1t was said after the meeting of the
subcommittee that if the system of pay
ing the men on the rtin-of-mine basis
is conceded the operators will ask for
certain measures of protection to assure
them the miners will send up clean coal
and not large percentage Of slack,
which does not command the same prices
as lump coal.

OF the joint conference, said that as d
result OF the days consideration of the

would get together but he would not
venture prediction as to what the op
orators finally would offer the men.

United Mine Workers, said every indi-
cation pointed to peaceful settlement
The question OF wages did not enter
into the discussion in committee today
but it was said that if the miners will
agree to certain restrictions in the adop-
ton OF the mine-run system the opera
tors are not unlikely to grant substan
tial advance in wages.
The subcommittee was in session more
than two hours today, and then adjourn

TRACKNIEN STRIKE.

Jersey City, \, J.-Several hundred
trackmen and repair workers on the
Central Railroad of New Jersey struck
for wage increase from $1.15 to 81 a

Railroad officials affected a puzzled
air when asked about the strike. One of
them stated that he had learned in a
roundabout way that the strike had
something to do with pay When asked
if $l.75 for 10 hours was sufficient, he
ventured the opinion that while the pay
was not large 1T has been the standard

HOW REDWOOD DOES 1T.

At meeting held at the Commercial
Club rooms last Wednesday it was de-
cided that the Redwood County Fair
Association should dispose of more
stock, thereby giving more people an
opportunity to have share in this
biggest public institution of the county,
and to assist the Board of Directors in de-
fraying the expense of the improvements
which are constantly being made on the
grounds, and in. the conducting of the
fairs which are giving Redwood County
a statewide reputation.
Since 1912, the year the present asso-
citation took up the work of carrying on
the fairs, and purchased the present fair
grounds, the sum of 16,147.10 has been
spent on grounds and improvements.
Stock has been sold and collected a.
mounting to $5,226.37, and the in
debtedness amounts to $1,000. The
net earnings of the fair, during the years
from 1912 to the present amount to
$3,720.73. These figures show that the
fair association is an earning proposition
and that money spent for stock is money
well invested for future returns as we'll
as for present benefit.

COOKING SCHOOL AT ARMoRY.

The Calumet Baking Powder people
are putting on demonstration of the
value Of their product in producing high
class cookery this week. A cooking
school is in progress at the Armory four
afternoons this week and one of the
notables among those who will speak to
the housewives who gather there will be
Mrs. Marion Cole Fisher, the woman
who made the wedding cake for President
Wilson. Mrs. Fisher in private life is
Mrs. w. A. Wittbecker, wife of the
manager Of the travelling crew who are
demonstrating the Calumet product
here. Mrs. Fisher is much better known
under her own name as she has written
various articles on household subjects
and has been connected with several
institutions which have courses in home
economics and she therefore lectures
under the name of Fisher. Both Mr..
Wittbecker and his wife are very pleasant
people to meet and the cooking school
will no. doubt afford pleasure as we'll as
instruction to those who attend. There
are several members in the demonstrating
crew.

WIDOWS PENSIONS INCREASED.

Approximately $500 widows Of war
veterans in Minnesota will gain increased
pensions under the recently enacted
Ashbrok law, which is to become effective
at once.
The act increases their pensions, now
$12 month each, to $40 month each,
and includes widows of veterans of the
war Of 1872, Mexican war and civil war.
The increase means about 1886, 900 more
year for Minnesota widows.
Nearly all the Minnesota women
affected are civil war widows, although
there are few Mexican war widows in
the state and possibly few whose late
husbands were veterans of the war of
1872
If married subsequent to the civil war,
the widows must be more than 70 years
old to be entitled to pensions. If
married before or during the war, age
makes no difference. ,.x
If a widow remarries, her pension
stops, but under the new law payments
are resumed if her second husband dies
or if she obtains a divorce from him.
If he obatins divorce from her the
pension is not restored. Under the old
law pensions to widows stopped per-
manently upon remarriage.
The following widow pensioners in
New Ulm may be affected by this new
law: Mrs. Henrietta Heaunstein, Mrs.
Maria Meile, Mrs. Johanna Everling,
Mrs. Katherine Tauer, Mrs. Louisa
Toberer, Mrs. Mary Meyer, Mrs.
Andrew Hoffman,, Mrs. Katherine
Merkle; Mrs. Caecilia Schilling, Mrs.
Mary julius, Mrs. Frederick Walther,
Mrs. Margaretha Wiedenmann, Mrs.
Carrie Gerboth, Mrs. Kunigunde

PIONEER NURSERY CO. FORGING
AHEAD.

Last week Prof. M. ]. Dorsey, who is
= grape specialist at the Minnesota Uni
yersity Farm, called on Mr.. Pfaender Of
the Pioneer Nursery Co. for the purpose
OF taking notes on a white wild grape
Mr.. Pfaender found several years ago.
Prof. Dorsey was anxious to see the
original vine bearing these white grapes
and Mr.. Pfaender accompanied him out
into the woods where they found the
vine in good condition with still some
fruit on it.
There are very few grapes Of this
variety growing, but this one is of very
fine quality and larger in berry and
cluster than any other found so far. Mr..
Pfaendeer intends to use this as foun-
dation for crossing with some other
white grape Of large size to produce q
white variety that will be hardy for the
Northwest without winter protection,
the same as hardy black grapes he now
has, which are also cross with wild
white sweet grape and the Concord.
Prof. Dorsey is very favorably i'm
pressed with the finding of this grape and
the Experiment Station at the University
Farm will also conduct a series of ex-
periments along the line of producing a
hardy white variety. It is conceded by
all horticulturists new varieties of all
fruit producing plants must be originated
to withstand our severe Northwestern
climatic conditions, and any addition
along this line is looked into very care
fully by the respective specialists at the
Experiment Station.
Besides these hardy grapes, the Pioneer
Nursery Co. has number of new things
that are of value for the Northwest
generally, one of them being very little
known plum of very good quality and
size and an annual bearer, known as
the Emerald plum. The Pioneer MUIR
sery Co. is building up good reputation
all over the Northwest.

TO CONQUER THE MINNESOTA.

For the first time in the history of the
state there is an attempt to eliminate
danger from high water throughout the
valley of the Minnesota river. Many
thousands Of dollars are lost annually
in this valley by high water. Farmers
in the vicinity of New Ulm lost thousands
of dollars and in the aggregate the losses
sustained during the past 80 years run
into the tens of thousands this spring
because of the floods of the Minnesota.
The All Minnesota Development As
ISOLATION is making study of these con-
ditions and trying to secure remedy.
This organization would like to have
individuals write the chairman of the
committee having this matter in charge,
Hon. A. L. Croker, Plymouth building,
Minneapolis, giving their opinion of this
matter. Governor Burnquist is also
member of this committee and very
enthusiastic over the project, since it
means the conquering of floods and the
reclamation of thousands of acres of land.
The All Minnesota Development AS
ISOLATION has a plan for enlisting both
state and federal aid in the proper storage
OF high water, and the finding of some
appropriate outlet for the surplus water
in the spring time. Thousands of
drainage bitches which have outlets in
the Minnesota river are the cause of this
surplus, but since this is necessary the
association will not consider the pro-
hibiting of this. Other means will be
found, possibly by means of reservoir.
Action such as would produce the
desired result would also aid in pro-
noting an average stage Of water and
boating, swimming, fishing and other
aquatic sports might be greatly enjoyed
along the river5af summer.

PALlMERO, CUBAN
 BOWMAN, SENT TO
 MINORS BY GIANTS

New York, May 19-Enilio Palmero. was handed. his passport in St. Louis by John McGraw yesterday, and Es- vana Hank" will no longer exhibit ms bronzed left wing on the Polo Grounds unless he manages to catch one with some other big league club in the fu- ture. The young Cuban was given his unconditional release by McGraw yesterday, and he immediately signed a new contract with the Louisville CoIonels.
 Palermo will have company on the Louisvilles, as Adolfo Luque, another Cuban, once of the Braves, pitches for that team. The ColoneIsi are managed by Derby Bill CIymer, who is having his usual success. His club is leading the strong CI1ivington circuit. If Der by Bill ever finished lower than sec- ond he would confess he was a failure and would retire.
 It seemed this spring that PaImero would make good, as he was doing fine work in the South. He also pitched great ball for the Giants when they opened their season on the Polo Grounds. However. after that, Mo Graw used him frequently, and the Cuban was 1ambasted all over the green.
 PaImero came to the Giants in the spring of 1914, after pitching some re-. narkabley games against big league clubs in Cuba. He defeated Brooklyn three times in the winter, of 1913-14, but McGraw found him a. raw pros pect, and farTned him to the Toronto Internationals. He couldn't get along in Class A company, and the Toronto Internationals turned him over to the Toronto Canadian league team, Class B club.
 He again made the training trip of 1915 with McGraw, and last summer was farned to Rochester, where he did good work. This time McGraw has let him go for good, as a major league club cannot let a player out on option for the third time.
 McGraw now is down to seven pitch CTS. the smallest number he has car ried in years. They are Mathewson, Tesreasn, Anderson, Perritt, Benton, SchaueT and Schupp. The Iast-named was placed on the ineligible list when the team was compelled to shave down to 21 men on Maye1, but now will be placed withinsthe 21 limit
