FORTUNE AWAITS
LAKE COT NTN BEING COMBFD
TO LOCATE HEIRS TO TEN
~ ESTATE.

Somewhere in Lake county" il is
believed. there are people who are
aware Of the present addresses Of
heirs of one y Noble. whose death in
Texas has left large property inter
ests in that state 70 be divided among
surviving relations.
At the present time the fortune IS
going begging. despite the efforts
that are being made by the late Mr.
Mobiles former legal advisers 10 save
the legacy for those who in the nat
ural sequence should profit through
the frugality OF their now deceased
relative
In letter TO The Daily Leader, re-
ceived today, r. +. Dodson, lawyer
with offices at 1909 y Capitol ave
nue., Houston, Tex. writes that no
expense will be spared in an effort TO
locate the missing heirs, some of
whom are known, he stated, 10 have
lived in Lake county
Indications are that the search for
the missing heirs has covered a pc
riod of years. and that final at
tempt is now being made TO prevent
the fortune from reverting to the
state
A letter making inquiries as to the
whereabouts of the heirs was receiv
ed in Madison about two years ago,
but nothing of the surviving relatives
was learned at that time. 1t is ap-
parent that the names of the heirs
who are said to have lived in this
county are not known TO the Texas
men who are interested in the divid
ing of the estate
Mr. Dodson states he will willingly
pay $500 for the addresses Of those
who should share in the legacy, inn
mediately upon identification of the
relatives He also states that he will
bear any necessary expense made in
the search, provided the parties are
located. He requests that any one
knowing the parties or knowing of
them communicate with him.

Plans for six drainage bitches in
Lake, Moody and Miner counties
have been approved by the state en-
gineer, according to adyices received

about nine miles in length, but is to
extend TO about forty miles in length
1t will drain approximately 2,500
acres of land.
Three drainage bitches are to be
built within Lake county. and two in
Miner county. 1t is said that ii will
be at least sixty days before the CON
tracts for the bitches can be let
Before work on the bitches is start
ed it will be necessary for the boards
of county commissioners to adjudge
the damage and assess the benefits
the bitches are expected to bring in
their respective counties.

At the instance of the publishers of
Canadian daily newspapers, an inquiry
into the newsprint situation is 10 be
made by the Federal Department q
Finance. The publishers and the paper
manufacturers have been unable to
reach an agreement in regard TO price
on new contracts, and, unless an
amicable settlement is effected under
the threat of coercive measures, the
government is expected TO follow the
inquiry with a limited embargo upon
the export of paper, or otherwise fx
the price. Sir Thomas White has al
ready informed the producers that the
government intends to protect the
newspapers against an excessive ad-
vance. The paper industry in Canada
is in a peculiarly important stage OF
development at the present time and
large economic interests are involved.
The situation is serious for the
Canadian newspapers because the mills
have declared for a minimum price OF
8 cents per pound T. o. b. mill, on new
contracts for one year. This proposed
charge represents an increase OF APP
proximately 60 per cent in the cost OF
newsprnt, as the minimum rate on ex-
listing contracts is considerably under
cents per pound, the newspapers pay
ing 1S7la to cents at the mills. Sixty
per cent of the newspapers Of Canada
either are without contracts to-day or
have contracts expiring by December
81, 1916. The contracts of nearly one
half the remaining newspapers ter
inmate before June 30, 1917. 1t is es-
timated that the Scent minimum rate
would involve an aggregate extra an
nual cost to the Canadian newspapers
of 100000.

driving wheels.
The other type consists of a power
plant, usually kerosene-burning in
ternal combustion engine, mounted
on four wheels. The bulk of the
weight rests on the two rear wheels,
which furnish the traction. These
wheels are made with extra wide
rims to prevent sinking into the
ground. This machine is a most YER

can do is a long one, including plough

loading hay, filling the silo, shred
ding, hauling, grading, pumping,
road dragging, stone crushing, road
building, irrigating, clearing land,

out that you don't have to waste

ing, really. 1t was mining. The
land was worth very little. 1t had
been just reclaimed from grazing
After two or three crops one could
afford to throw it away.
Food declined throughout the
world. The food cost of living was
nominal. Wheat that had been SO
a bushel in the Civil War time fell
to so cents. In 1889 David Wells,
an eminent economist, presented the
following picture of the conditions
then existing:
The future supply and price OF
wheat are matters of speculation
and pertinent to the present in
quiry; but one point belonging TO
the domain of fact has certainly an
important bearing on these prob
lens, and that is that the eXtraor-
binary construction of railroads, es-
pecially in the United States, the
Argentine Republic, India and Aus
tralia, is making available enor-
nous tracts Of land eminently MT
ted for wheat culture which NTH
erto by reason of inaccesslbinty
have practically been non-existent.
while improvements in methods OF
cultivation have greatly facilitated
and cheapened production. Each
