John Kerstein, who has been visit
ing relatives in the city, returned to
his home at Red Wing, Mimi, by a
morning train. Mrs. Kerstein, who
accompanied him to Madison. will
remain over until tomorrow.
Fred Steiber went by a morning
train TO Mitchell, called there on ac-
count of an injury TO his brother-in-
law, Ray Jensen. The young man
was injured at P~lankinton yesterday,
but in what manner the telegram did
not state. He was hurried TO St.
Joseph's hospital in Mitchell and is
said to be in a critical condition.
Ray is a son of Fred Jensen, Of Mad
ison, who is out of the city, and his
mother is visiting friends in Sioux
City.
Ed Fogel, with his wife and son.
motored from Milwaukee. arriving at
the home of Joseph Rosenow near
Wentworth, where they will visit a
few days on their way to the west
coast. Mr.. Fogel was formerly on
neeted with a large stock food con
Germ in Milwaukee. His business was
largely with Germany before the out
break of war. and that crisis stopped
the export of his product. He has
sold the business and equipment, and
is on the way to the Pacific coast,
where he will enter business. The
location or business has not yet been
selected.
In looking over the auditors alb
stract of property taxed in Lake
county five short years ago the dis.
parity in values between that remote
period and this advanced and en-
lightened one is striking. For in
stance, there were 1SS automobiles
listed for the county at hat assess
ment-this year there are 1850.
Cows, listed in 1912 at SIS in valu-
alton are now $50 or s35. All stock
is appreciated in nearly the same IA.
ito. Even machinery and buildings
are given more value this year than
they were when new. The county,
ownership of valuable jewelry and
watches was as strikingly meager in
that year as il is most times.

The joint Ditch
CAN'T COME TOGETHER ON MA
TERIAL-JOINT BOARDS
MEET TODAY.

The same old difficulty of choice
between the use of clay or cement
tile was discussed by the joint board
Of Moody and Lake counties today
on the opening of bids for the con
struction of the tile work for Joint
ditch No. l.. Five bids were submit
ted for the thing portion of the ditch
and the opening of the sealed en-
yelopes was made at IL O'Clock this
forenoon. But at a late hour this
afternoon nothing definite had been
decided on.
Pursuant to the call for bids for
the thing portion and which were
opened on this date, the boards OF
Moody county, G. L. Pettigrew. 0. G.
Olson and John Schmidt. with their
auditor. l.. T.. Buck. met with the
commissioners of Lake county. In
the award of the work or the selec-
tion it was necessary in voting that
each board have a majority. Using
the jury system of voting by ballots
they failed this afternoon to make a
choice OF whether to use yitrified
clay or cement tile.
The tile work of this ditch is Of
some Importance. Not considering
the open ditch work, the contract for
which is already awarded, there are
451b miles of thing TO be laid. rang
ing in size from 6-inch to 30-inch.
This, of course, embraces all mains
and branches of the work.
There are five bids being consid-
cred today. Paul Paulson. of Car
roll. Ia, bids $50,420 for labor only.
except the hauling; =. A. Thompson.
of Greene, Ia, bid $32,570 for sup
plying cement tile; w. p. Larson. OF
Sioux Falls, who already has the con
tract for the excavation of the open
work OF the big ditch. bid sac, $50
for labor only; the McCracken Con
crete Pipe company, of Luverne, la.
bid $4,000 on supplying cement
tile; the National Clay Works, OF
Mason City. Ia. proposed to furnish
clay tile for $S5,441.50. the smaller
unspeeified sizes only to be vitrified
The boards were evenly divided on
the selection of the tile this after
noon. Two of one board were in ia
yor of clay, while one member OF
the other entertained the same ma
terial. The county engineer advised
strongly against the use of cement
tile in the character of soil i'm which
it is purposed to use it, asserting that
if there is alkali in the soil the pipe
will not stand.

6earIsh News Of Ships Sinking on.
set by Settlement Of Strike.

NEW YORK, March 1s.-Following
Liverpools lead, the New York mar
ket opened Arm this morning, 10 to
81 points higher. The bearish news
OF the sinking of three American
ships was somewhat Offset by the
quick settlement OF the railroad ques-
ton. Commission houses have been
consistently discouraging business,
and therefore the public interest IN
the market is very small. while there
Is hardly any speculation, transac-
lions being on the order OF buying OF
contracts by trade interests. In view
OF the foregoing facts. the trade is Of
the opinion that the market 10 in 4
good condition to withstand shocks.
Commission houses operated on
both sides and sold on the balance,
while Wall Street and local spot
houses bought. Shortly after the
opening the market eased OF slightly,
while there was some irregular fiuc-
tuation In the new crop months. Spot
cotton in the South continues at o
substantial premium over New York
futures and as a result New England
spinners and exporters are taking cot
ton out OF the local stock at the rate
Of about 5000 bales q week.

ket today, the independent oil shares
and Midvale Steel being the leaders.
Around noon there were small reac-
tions, due to profit taking, but little
activity followed the decline. Merritt
Oil again advanced to a new high
record; while smaller advances were
recorded in the other oil shares. The
war stocks were dull, and little
changed, except in the Aetna Explo-
sive shares, which sold fraetionally
higher.
After selling a large fraction lower
at the opening, Midvale Steel became
firm and sold to a new high on the
present movement at a gain of more
than 2 points from the low sale OF
the day. The motor shares were ac-
tive, and advanced about a point, but
reacted fractionally on light profit
taking. The copper shares were firm
but dull, while there was a fair de-
mand for some OF the specialties in
the Industrial list.
The Standard Oil issues were
strong and active, Standard Oil of
New York being the most prominent,
advancing about 10 points. Buckeye
Pipe and Illinois Pipe lines were firm
also. The bond department was
fairly active, with the general. trend
OF prices upward.

ance available for dividends was

he said, would have been much larger

the serious interference with the de-
livery of raw materials had not handi-

operated for more than 20 per cent of
their capacity during 1915.
