Peter Ortt Dies
At Soldiers Home
Early Resident of Redwood Falls
Dies at Age of Seventy
Two Years

Peter Ortt at one time, many
years ago, a resident of Red
wood Falls, died Sunday, March
25, at the Soldiers Home. Funer-
al services were held Thursday
and interment made in Roselawn
Cemetery at St. Paul. Members
of st. Paul Camp No. 1, Sons
of Veterans, acted as pallbear-
ers and Sergeant Ernest Miller
sounded taps at the grave.
Mr.. Ortt was one of the old
est settlers Of Redwood Falls
first locating west of the Red
wood River on the land now
known as the Hotchkiss land
For many years he was the
proprietor of the old Exchange
hotel where the jail now stands,
Later he built the Fischer home
on East Street. He successful
ly handled much of the stock
here in that early day. He was
a man of great energy and a
very good citizen. He was one

KEEP THE BROOD SOW.

The magnet of high prices is
drawing to slaughter from the
farmers pens breeding swine
that ought to be kept busy pro-
ducing more hogs. 1t is a great
mistake for the farmer to strip
his pens. To let the brood SOW
go, just because she will bring
a high price, is like killing the
goose that land the golden eggs
Feed is high, and it costs
money to keep the brood SOW
but she is we'll worth keeping
for what she will produce. She
is worth more to the farmer
than the admittedly large sum
he can now sell her for. The
temptation of immediate reali-
zation is natural enough. In
1907 the farmer got only four
cents a pound for his hogs. A
year ago he was well pleased tc
get nine and a half cents in
South ST. Paul. Still there was
no stripping of the pens. The
average price for the past week
The Redwood gazette., 1917-04-04


was fourteen and a quarter
cents, and it is easy to see how
good the opportunity looks to
the farmer.
But if he sells himself out, he
will soon have the problem of
replacement to solve, and there
is at this time little prospect
that he will be able to solve it
at much of a net profit, if any.
Whether the present price lev
ell will eventually recede, the
farmer is perhaps as competent
as anyone to judge, but he is
justified in planning his produc-
ing capacity on the expectation
of permanently remunerative
prices. To jeopardize that ca.
pacity by grasping at a quick
profit now, would be foolish
There is no more probability OF
the return of the four-cent hog
than Of fifty-cent wheat.
The hog industry Las grown
enormously in Minnesota, since
we first began to give up the
one-crop idea. The 381 thou.

sidered at this session. Day af-
ter day these continue to pour
in not in many sessions has the
steady stream kept up such an
unceasing flow. Attorney Cen
eral Smith has issued a ruling,
in response to query from Os-
car Arneson, clerk of the House,
advising the Legislature that it
must end April 10. This makes
April 18 the last day on which
bills can be passed, and with
some of the important matters
of the session still unconsidered,
there seems little hope of many
of the bills now coming in ever
seeing the light of day so far
as consideration by either body
is concerned. Under the House
rules Wednesday was the last
day for the introduction Of bills,
except by a two-thirds vote of
the house.

important duty during the day:

John L. Sullivan defeated Alt

time taking on all corners in short
bouts, and he found Greenfield an
easy mark, although ALT had been
touted by his admirers as the COM

fed with his showing and again
faced Sullivan a few months later in
Boston. He was whipped in four
rounds this time. Greenf1e1d's only
important battle was that with Jem

that will contest with the University
of Pittsburg at Forbes Field, Pitts
burg. today. will be the youngest elev-
en- that the Red and Black ever sent
into this title combat and one of the
youngest that ever engaged in a game
Of such Importance. Statistics COM
piled show that of the II men who
will start the game only four are
over Fl years of age and that the
average age Of the men is but trifle
over 20 years. The youth of the play
ers accounts for the presence OF most
OF them on the team as enlistments
have played havoc with the Washing
ton & Jefferson student body.
An honor roll, now being compiled
by the Washington & Jefferson au-
thorites, shows that approximately
800 students and recent alumni of the
institution are in the national service.
The names of those who have gone
ito the 'front.' were read at the an
nua1 football banquet held In the Fort
Pitt hotel last evening, preceding the
W. & J,-Pitt game. This number is
equivalent to the entire average stu
dent enrolment and comprises a host
OF football players.
Out sof the total of $40 students en-
rolled at Washington q Jefferson last
year, 102 have entered some branch
of the national service. Among this
number are Is members of the 1916
