Dear SIR srE
l nave read with much interest the
article in your last issue on the neees-
sity of new methods for the success OF
the Greater HGMdersonviIle club.
HendersonRiIle is gradually grow
ing in popularity and Importance, but
to Increase this rate We need some
method that will give Hendersonyille
some real advantage. and all that will
then be needed is to advertise this adj
vantage.
A great part of the progress in Hen
Jacksonville is due to the summer Yisi-
tors. Anything that will give Hender-
sorville some special superiority III
this respect over other summer re-
sorts, will at once increase this
source of revenue. If HendersonVille
could advertise that it is free of hay.
fewer the number Of visitors would
soon be doubled.
1t is an absolutely established fact
that h~ay-fever is, in an cases, due 60
weeds in which the pollen is carried by
the wind, of which the rag-weed is an
example and the most frequent cause.
These weeds may be kept down by cul-
tivating the land, by grazing cattle, or
by moving before they reach the
blooming stage. If such an ordinance
we're enacted and enforced in Hender-
sonvilIe, hay-fever would practically
disappear within the corporate limits.
If, in addition to this the farmer we've
encouraged not to allow the rag-weed
to grow on land adjoining the public
road ,hay-fever from this source wouit
likewise be eliminated.
To advertise H~endersonviIle free Of
hay-fever would prove an attraction
to the thousands who suffer from this
disease, resulting not only in a prompt
increase of visitors. but also in a pro-
portionate advance in the value of
real estate. The details could easily.

DISPUTE MAY KEEP NEGRO
ALIVE INDEFINITELY.

Springfield, Ill, March 1i.--rhere
10 no indication that the deadlock be-
tween Governor H. F. Dunno and
Sheriff White. OF Murphysboro will
be broken during the remainder OF
the term OF the Governor. At least
Elston Scott, the negro who will be
hanged as soon as an agreement ts
reached. hopes 1t Will continue that
long and longer.
1t is the first case OF the kind in
the history OF Illinois. Scott was to
have been executed last November,
but Governor Dunn was incensed be-
cause Sheriff White made q public
spectacle Of the hanging of another
negro the previous month, and insist
ed upon knowing how many people
would see the execution Of Scott.
The sheriff evaded the question. He
Eaid merely that the hanging would
be focal" A stockade where the
other negro was hanged was left
standing for the execution and as II
would accommodate over q thousand
persons, the Governor believed the
sheriff intended to have another free
show" He commuted tho sentences
OF Scott for a month In order to give
time for arriving at an understand
ing.
AT the END or month. the Shertn
still refused to make any definite re-
ply, and another reprivs was granted
The deadlock has continued without
any show OF relenting on either side
the last reprive extending the date OF
execution until May 10. Governor
Dunno says he will continue repriev.
ing the negro until Sheriff White an.
swers his question. The sheriff says
he has given the only answer he ever
win give.
The negro was convicted OF a mosi
brutal murder and the Governor viii
not commute his sentence.

WILL CONDUCT
DAIRY EXPERT
MENTS IN h|N0T
STATE DAIRY COMMISSIONERS
MILLER WILL HAVE HIS HEAD
QUARTERS IN THE WONDER
CITY.

The Association of Commerce is
pleased to make the announcement
that Dairy Commissioner Peter Miller
has decided to make his headquarters
for the next several months in Minot,
so as to make number of interesting
experiments in the matter Of market
ing milk. In this connection the AS
ISOLATION Of Commerce has also been
able to interest the Minot Dairy Com
pany so that they will cooperate with
Mr.. Miller in his experiments, as they
pertain to the city milk supply. The
Minot Dairy Company plant is looked
upon as being the model establishment
of it's kind, and Mr.. Miller and the
Association feel very fortunate in Sc
curing their cooperation.
The Dairy Commissioners has also
been in receipt of some unjust criti-
cism from the northwestern portion
of the state, because he did not spend
more time among the dairy men. It
was impossible for Mr.. Miller to pay
particular attention to this section of
the state on account Of the extra ex-
pense incurred in travelling to and fro
from his office in the state capitol at
Bismarck, but under the arrangement
between the Association of Commerce
and Mr.. Miller he will now be able to
pay close attention to all the dairy in
terests in the northwestern part of the
state for the next few months.
For the present Mr.. Miller expects
to have desk room with County Agent
w. A. Peck, where he may be consult
ed when he is in the city, or word can
be left, in the Office and all requests
will have his earnest and prompt at
tention.
The dairy business in this part of
the state is becoming a large factor,
and it is only right that the Dairy
Commissioner should spend more time

in the locality. The Association Of
Commerce feels that it has accom-
plished a great good for the farmers
of this section, and its officers feel
that the plan will work wonders.
Nearly a quarter of million dol
lars was paid out by the creameries of
this city last year for milk, and it is
expected that during the year 1916,
this amount will be doubled. Sure it
is that great strides are being taken
in this particular industry, and it is
well that more attention can be paid
to it by the Dairy Commissioner.

CONTRACT LET FOR
LARGE BUILDING
FINE STORE AND OFFICE BUILD
ING TO BE ERECTED BY FRANK
UNDERSTANDABLE BE FIRE
PROOF-BARTELSON HAS THE
CONTRACT.

The contract was let Monday even
ing for the construction of fine brick
block on the Anderson property, di-
rectly south of the Northwest Motor
Co. building, opposite the postoffice.
This building will be built by Frank
Anderson, who owns the property.
Carl Bartleson was awarded the con-
tract, and the plans were drawn by
R. T. Frost, the architect.
This new building will be 60x132
feet, three stories and full basement,
and fireproof in construction, and will
cost approximately 100000.
The first floor consists of one large
storeroom, which can be divided into
two, three or four store rooms if nee
essary. The second floor will have
fifteen Office suites of two rooms each.
The third floor will have six four
room flats, each furnished with pri-
vate bath. The interior finish will be
natural hardwood.
The four sides of the building will
be built of pressed brick, but the
front will be trimmed with white
Bedford stone.
This building is located on plot Of
ground 75x140, and the building will
be set in on this plot so that on one
side there will be IL feet of ground,
and on the other feet, thus assuring
all the offices and flats having out
side light for all time, as no other
building can be built up flush with the
Anderson building.
Mr.. Anderson will install an individ-
ual vapor heating plant to heat the
entire structure.
The erection of this building marks
an epoch in the erection of buildings
in Minot, for it is the first absolute
| ly fireproof structure for the city
The pace has been set, and hereafter
more of the fireproof construction will
be done.

Will Repair Bridge Over Des Laos

The county commissioners and the
county surveyor, H. G. Frahm, went to
Bowbells Tuesday to confer with the
commissioners of Burke county con-
corning some repairs that will have to
be made on the bridge that spans Des
Laos lake, on the county line. Com
missioners Anderson, Lokensgard,
Robe and Vandenoever were in the
party.
This bridge has always been a "Jo-
nah" for Ward county. It was built
twelve or fourteen years ago at great
expense and has accommodated but a
comparatively few people. It is now
almost in worthless condition and
the repairs necessary to put the struc-
ture in first class condition will cost
a good many dollars.
