planned by the discovery of the body
with bullet hole through the heart.
The body will not be brought out
Of the woods. After investigating
all the circumstances, the authorities
decided to have the remains inferred
on the spot and Mr.. Johnson offered
to see to it that the body is covered
up.
The discovery of the body comes as
a welcome close to mystery which
many felt would never be solved. 1t
is~a relief to know that the perpe-
traitor of the most atrocious outrage
in the history of the county has not
escaped to repeat his foul deed

President Woodrow Wilson's ap-
peal for the largest possible increase
in crop production and for the ut
most conservation of food supplies
by farmers and people is being met
with enthusiasm by. every state in
the union. Commissions of public
safety--and public safety includes
safety from the possibilities of grim
hunger-are being appointed in the
various states and provided with
means to prosecute their work.
Minnesota has fallen into line. as
it did in the days of the civil war,
with the appointment of such a COM
mission and the appropriation of
funds with which to prosecute it's
work. To cooperate with this COM
MISSION has been named state com
mittee of food production and con-
servation. This committee has been
fully organized and has developed a
plan by which every town and com
munity in the state may also be
quickly organized.
The various subcommittee of the
state committee of food production
and conservation have drawn up
programs of work that will enable
the state to do it's full share as the
"bread and butter, state'' in helping
to feed the people and their armies
through the crisis of the worlds
greatest war.
1t remains now for every town and
community, and every man and ev-
cry woman, and every boy and girl
to do his or her bit. To fail in Ell
ther food production or conserva-
tlon is to fall short in patriotism,
when patriotism is. demanded as ne
yer in the history of the nation.
But no town or community or true
American will fail.

MARIGOLD OPENS NAvlGA-
TION TO GRAND MARAIS

The government lighthouse tender
Marigold was the first steamer to ar
rive in the local harbor. She came
down from Duluth yesterday, arriv
ing here last night. They say there
is 40 miles of ice out of Duluth but
tugs have broken a channel through
and allows the boats to pass in
as long as the wind is favorable, but
should northwest wind come up
this channel would soon be closed.
Boats cannot get into Two Harbors
for ice
The Marigold filled the gas tank
on the west pier and furnished sup
plies for the local lighthouse.

OLGA DAhL'S ASSAIl ANT
FOUND DEAD IN CREEK
Criminal Shot Himself and Fell Into
Creek Where Ice Preserved His
Body for Months.

Olga Dahps assailant has been
found dead on Dunbar creek about a
mile and half from the scene Of
the atrocious crime that last fall
shocked the whole Northwest. The
gruesome discovery was made by Gus
Johnson, settler in the Round lake
country, while he was following the
creek on Sunday afternoon spearing
fish. The body has been positively
identified as that of the man guilty
of the fendish assault.
Immediately. upon receipt of news
of the finding Of the body County
Attorney Ralph Stone and Deputy
Sheriff Ed. Carson left for the scene.
They were joined in Deer river by
Deputy Coroner, Will Herried and
the three made careful investigac
! tion of surroundings.
1t is evident that the man stood on
| the bank of the creek and fired a
shot through his heart as there was
found nearby a thirty-eight calibre
revolver with three cartridges ex-
ploded. Two of these are accounted
for by the shots the brute fred into
Miss DahPs head and the third bv
the one that sent his own depraved
soul to it's reward. The body evi-
IDENTIFY fell backward into the creek
where it lodged between two logs.
Frozen in the creek all winter it was
not badly decomposed and identifica-
tion was easy.
| In the mans pocket were found
shaving brush, pencil and cake of
shaving soap very nearly dissolved.
1t will be remembered that the Grim
inal carefully shaved himself in the
morning after sitting beside his
campfire all night while Miss Dahl
was tied to tree The razor was
picked up at the scene of the crime.
There was asolutely nothing in the
clothing to give clue to the mans
identity.
George A. johnson, on whose land
the body was found, Immediately
recognized it as that of the man
who had stopped at his house the
day before the assault on Miss Dahl.
Others in the community who had
also seen him, positively identified
the body. Among those who viewed
the remains was Selma Manula,
daughter of John Manula, at whose
1ome Miss Dahl boarded and where
the criminal took breakfast on the
morning Of the crime Miss Manula
also said there could be no mistake
about the dead man being the guilty
party.
The body found in the creek tallies
,identically' with the description gi-
ven by Miss Dahl to the sheriff. The
man is the height and build described
and possess all the prominent char
acteristics of Miss DahPs descrip-
tion.
In addition to these proofs of j.
IDENTIFY there is another circumstance
that is important. On the night af-
ter the crime, while the posse was
beating the woods in search Of the
man, shot was heard. It was as
certained that no" member of the
searching party had discharged a
firearm and this shot in the night
has been the cause of much specula-
tion since the crime 1t is now ex-

GOOD ROADS DAY
POSTPONED TO MAY IS

Good Roads Day, which was inten-
ded to be celebrated yesterday, was
postponed as there were not enough
horses to be had. to do effective work
and it was also feared that the frost
would prevent the grading.
1t is likely that May 18th will be
set as the time to pull off the event.
This will give the committee ample
time to get organized and it is ex-
pected that more horses will be a.
valuable, the ground will also be in
better condition to work.
Let us make this ROUSING
SUCCESS. and prove to ourselves
what can be done by united effort.

APPEAL
TO NATIONS FARMERS
Imperative That Everything Possible
be Done To Insure Large Har-
vests is Mandate.

"The supreme need of our own ma
tion and of the nations with which
we are cooperating is an abundance
of supplies and especially of food
stutfs. The Importance of an ade-
quate food supply, especially for the
present year, is superlative. With
out abundant food, alike for the ar
mics and the peoples now at war,
the whole great enterprise upon
which we have embarked will break
down and fail. The worlds food re-
serves are low. Not only during the
present emergency, but for some
time after peace shall have come
both our own people and a large por-
tion of the people of Europe must
rely upon the harvests in America.
Upon the farmers of this country,
therefore, in large measure, rests
the fate of the war and the fate of
the nations. May the nation not
count upon them to omit no step
that will increase the production of
their land or that will bring about
the most effectual cooperation in
the sale and distribution of their
products? The time is short.
ut is of the most imperative i'm
portance that everything possible be
done and done Immediately to make
sure of large harvests. I call upon
young men and old alike and upon
the able-bodied boys of the land to
accept and act upon this duty-to
turn in hosts to the farms and make
certain that no pains and no labor
is lacking in this great NATTER

SOUTHWESTERN STATES GROW
 GREATER CROP

The Arizona Council of Defense has encouraging news from Washington relative to it's efforts to secure culti- vation in foodstuffs crops, of largely added acreage within this state, par ticularly through the full utilization of such water storage enterprises as that on Salt river, and addition of lands on Indian reservations. Advices just re- ceived tell that hundreds of thousands of acres of land in the United States. hitherto untitled may be placed under cultivation during the year 1918. By direction of Secretary of the Interior Lane, acting in response to a resolu- tion of the congress, a careful survey was made into the feasibility and prac- ticability of putting into cultivation such parts of the public domain and Indian lands as might be suitable for the purpose. The results of the in- quiry just received by Secretary Lane indicate that approximately 600, 900 acres of land on various reclamation projects and an area of Indian lands almost as large are susceptible of cul- tivation.
 It is not regarded as practicable, economical or wise to endeavor to se- cure crop production through govern AutAtdI dS6uCleS OH Sucn or the puD1c lands as yet remain unreserved. They are largely rough and mountainous and Valuable chiefly for minerals or stock raising, or scattered tracts which can bekt be farmed by homesteaders.
 About 100000 acres of land on recla- nation projects, not heretofore culti- vated, and for which water will be available, may be placed in production during 1918. In addition there gre ap- proximately 500,000 acres of privately owned or homestead lands within reclamation projects susceptible of cul- tivation. A bill now is pending before congress providing the money for the clearing, development and cropping of the lands, the funds appropriated to be reimbursable from rentals and Lther receipts.
 Within the limits of the states of Arizona. Montana and Wyoming are 1l2,0O0 acres. of irrigable and 5O.OOO acres of dry farming lands within the limits of Indian reservations which. with reasonable funds, could be placed under cultivation. On other Indian reservations a large acreage also could be made available. An appropriation of $1,900,00O has been suggested to congress for the purchase of seeds and equipment and to make arrangements for the cultivation of this land under the direction of Secretary Lane. who has recommended to congress the en- actment of, measures providing for the deNelonment of the lands

THRIFT SAYING
 STAMPS SCHEME
 FULLY OUTLINED

Many requests have been received for a simple digest of the governments wonderful plan for saving in small 1 amounts, which will give everyone an opportunity of helping to win the war. It IS believed that the following state nents will give the necessary infor- nation fully, yet concisely: The savings stamps are in two de- nominations - 25- cent thrift stamps and 50 war savings stamps.
 Both kinds of stamps may be bouoht at any postoffice, bank or other seIIinq | agency.
 With the first 25-cent thrift stamp purchased thrift card holding 16 stamps is given free of cost.
 When the thrift card is filled, you will have total of $4.
 Add 12 cents to that amount in De- cernber, 1917. or January, 1918, or one cent more each month thereafter, and any postoffice, bank or other seIInu | agency will deliver you a war savings stamp.
 The war savings stamps may be se- cured by the exchange of thrift stamps as above outlined, or may be purchased tor cash at any postoffice, bank or other selling agency. The United States government guar antees to redeem each of these "baby bonds" January 1, 1923, for s5.
 The war savings stamps will cost S4.12 in December, 1917, and January. l 1913, and will cost one cent more in February and one cent more each suc- ceeding month.
 A war savings certificate, holding 20 Of these war savings stamps, is fur nished free of charge.
 When you have filled this war saw lnes certificate, it will be worth $1O0 January 1, 1923.
 This redeemabIe value is equal to the amount you have paid in, plus added interest at 4 per cent, compounded quarterly.
 If you should need your money at any time before 1923, take Your war savings certificate to ony money order postoffice, give ten days notice and the amount you have paid will be refunded with added interest at about per cent.
