Oakland, CAL, Oct. Z. Omitted
Press Three days of rioting in the
strike of streetcar men here were
brought to q bloody climax today when
4 Key Route electric train manned by
heavily armed strikebreakers crushed
into two automobiles and killed six
persons. Two others were injured.
AS the train sped on without slack
eningSits high speed, bodies were
thrown right and left, and wreckage or
the two machines was carried Tor
blocks.
When the train finally stopped, the
armed guards and the crew fled, car
rying with them their high Powered
rifles.
| An enraged mob Of citizens is search
ing for them. Feeling has been at .
high pitch over the Importation or
armed guards. Eight of these were ar
rested late yesterday after they had fir
ed into a mob of strike sympathizers.
Most of the imported strikebreakers
lwere brought from Los Angeles.
| Onlookers estimated the train was
travelling so miles an hour.
Police Communicated private auto
mobiles to carry the injured to hos
Ipitals. Three of the. dead are women.
Their bodies are so badly mutilated
THAT Identification is impossible.
Police predicted that i the armed
guards are corncred a battle will re-
suit.
Meanwhile crowds were again gath
ering in the business section. 1t was
believed, however, the officials of the
san Francisco Oakland Terminal rail
ways would avoid further trouble to-
dav by abandoning efforts to run ears
Eighteen persons have been shot OF
injured in the strike rioting thus far
scores have been arrested, including
I. the eight armed guards who fired on
the crowds yesterday. Probably hun
dreds have been hit by flying missiles

"We regret very much that such
condition has arisen," continued Mr..
Denton. "We feel that all this strife is
petty, and should not be permitted to

this at present, Senator Walsh said, on
the question Of compulsory arbitration.
!" You can never pass a law for com
pulsory arbitration, he continued,
f'that would take the right to strike
from labor. Thisis labor''s only weapon
and it would not be given up without
fight. Compulsory coneihatHon, in
which the strike would be delayed un-
i'll after conference, would only re-
suit in postponing a strike for few
months. during which time the employ
er could be stocking up goods with
which TO supply his trade during pro-
Ionged strike. Then the employers
could simply lean back and challenge
labor to finish fight, the employees
being unable TO save up against long
er period Of idleness.

Pig PaSturing,

Out at Lee Andersons on the
Bennett road a novel sight is to be
seen in the shape of some good sized
shoats hitched up to stakes and eat
ing grass on the lawn: The son VINO
owns one of them, made the halter
out of four straps, one going about
the pigs neck, another just behind
the front legs and one along each
shoulder to keep the other IN place.
With rope or strap attached to
lead or tie with, the pig soon be-
came docile enough to stand hitcheG
and may be seen nibbling away at
the grass as contentedly as tho
wholly unrestrained. The sisters Of
the inventive yoIngster, noting how
well the scheme worked, had harness
made for their shoats and now all
are doing we'll without being sur
rounded by hog-tight fence to keep
them from straying away.-Tipton

THIRTY YEARS A PASTOR.
Rev. Paul Koren rendered a Most
Happy Surprise.

An item that was inadvertently ON
tilted from our last issue was the re-
ception rendered to Rev. Paul Koren,
Of Washington Prairie on Sunday,
June l. Rev. Koren celebrated his
thirtieth year as pastor of the
Washington Prairie Norwegian
church last Christmas, so the mem
bers of the Washington Prairie con-
gregation rendered him a most
agreeable surprise
A large delegation of friends from
DEBORAH were present. President c.
K. Preus, of Luther college, the col
1ege band, several members Of the
faculty and a number of other resi-
dents of DEBORAH were present. A
number Of the Red Cross officials
were also present, as Rev. KOren is
president Of the Winneshiek County
Chapter. DR.. F. w. Conover spoke
on behalf Of the Red Cross and paid
Rev. Koren a very deserving and
work he performed in bringing the
local chapter to such a high degree
of efficiency.
President c. X. Preus of Luther
college, spoke on behalf Of the men,
bers of Rev. Koren's congregation,
and recalled many things Of interest
of the pioneer days, and the part
that was taken by the Koren family
in helping build the Norwegian
Lutheran church in this county. The
late Rev. U. V. KOren. father of
Rev. Paul Koren was a minister here
So years ago, and the son for thirty
years, and their influence and work
was a big factor in building up the
the Norwegian church. At the close
of Rev. Preus remarks he presented
Rev KOren with a fine purse of
money in behalf Of the congregation
Rev. Koren replied most appro-
priately to the remarks. The ladies
of the congregation had prepared a
very fine spread, but a heavy rain
came up, and the visitors were COM
PEELED to leave before the festivities
, could be enjoyed.
Among some of the Decorahians
present were DR.. and Mrs. F. w.
Conover, Mr.. and Mrs. Ben Bear.
Mrs. c. K. Preus, Mrs Carlo A.
Sperati.

SAYS THEY EXPECT
FINE CROPS THIS YEAR
Last Year Was Dry, But This Year
They Have Had Plenty of
Moisture, and Crops Look
Good.
Sumatra, Montana,
June | 1919

When we left DEBORAH there were
so many of our friends that we
promised to write to but we have
been so busy since we came out that
we have not found time to write to
I them all and we thought that we
would write to the papers of DEBORAH
and if they would find a space in
their paper that everybody that we
knew would get to see how we are
getting along.
We had an exceptionally fine win
ter and we were lucky enough to es-
cape the flu and the children had no
cold, so we came through the winter
in fine shape. The climate in Mon
tana is remarkable and many peo-
pie come here for their health
Have had a very nice spring for
to do the spring work in. Have in
about 125 acres Of small grain and
about so acres of corn and every
thing looks fine. Oats and wheat are
about inches high. Have a nice
big garden in and everything is up
and is looking fine.
Winter wheat and rye that was
| put in in time last fall certainly is
looking fine. One would think he
was in Iowa and not in Montana
when we look at it and see the
height Of it this time of the year, so
! if we get a little rain from now on
we are sure Of a bumper crop. We
had a lot Of moisture last fall and
had plenty this spring, but we had
four days Of hot weather that made
the ground kind of dry but it is
cooler now and cloudy so we may
get some rain.
Last year it was a dry year so we
did not get any small grain, but We
had very nice corn, so we got some
feed for the horses and cattle. One
thing is sure and that is the soil is
good and will raise anything you
put in the ground if we get the
moisture One OF our neighbors had
very nice garden last summer and
sold garden stuff for many hundred
dollars. He is a German and they
are supposed to be expert in garden
ing.
There are quite a few that are
starting in with milk cows and that
seems to pay well here on account
of the exceptional mild winters. We
are u miles from town now, but
there is a survey north of us about
eight miles that was commenced be-
fore the war, but war stopped all
railroad building during the war,
but they are going to start again
this summer and there is a party
of Lewiston men up there buying up
land, so they must mean business.
Then there is survey on the Mil
Waukee one mile north OF us that
had also started to work and this
may be completed soon, as they
| have the grade ready for the steel
! to within twenty miles west of us.
Our neighbors and those who bought
land around here are mostly all Nor
wegians and would like to see some
more come in so as to make it a
Scandinavian community, as it
makes it so much nicer for churches
and schools. Would be pleased to
hear from some ofVhy friends so
will have to close with best wishes
and regards to you all. From
MIR. and MRS. J. L. HAMRE,

To think is to act, but to act we'll
one must think wisely.
New-York tribune., 1919-12-28
BY Robert G. Knapp
Of DOUGLAS l.. Gilman C Co.

Most great speculative movements,
whether in real estate, stock or com
mcdities, end in crash. When the
bubble bursts real estate and stocks
have passed from strong hands to
weak. After the smoke has cleared
the innocent public is minus untold
millions Of dollars plus much sad ex-
perience.
Nv attention was drawn to state
H,eny that within six months most Of
the Properties which have been sold
recently would belong to the mortga-
gees. Let US analyze the present boom,
or more correctly speaking, the great
activity in improved property to see
whether il is founded on sand or rock.
We ali know that during the last
four years the city stopped b0ilding,
but did not stop growing How many
90 per cent OF the buildings were sold
during the last year for less than their
original cost and in q great many in
stances for so per cent of their re-
placement value: Take for example
the snle Of dozen apartment houses
on Park Avenue and the Immediate vi
cinity and in almost every case the
owners sold them at a aoss. These
aame buildings in which there was not
single vacancy could be dupli-
Gated for from rs to so per cent more
thar their selling prices. The sellers
we're either estates or wealthy indi-
riduals who could afford to take a loss
IN order TO cut down their income tax.
Examples of Low Prices
For example. twelve story Park
Avenue apartment house cost $1,100,-
600. The reproduction value would be
about $1,000, 900. 1t was sold three

The enormous liquidation of IN
proved and unimprovcd real estate at
public auction that has taken place
this year has never before been
cqualed in the history Of the realty
market of New York During the last
year the results obtained at auction in
the Real Estate Salesroom and at pri-
Vate treaty have borne out the predic-
tion made by me soon after the s gn-
ing of the armist;cc on November II,
1918.
With the signing of the armistice
the entire business world got busy and
cleared decks for action" The re
construction period was at hand; there
was big work to be done by every good
American citizen. and to be done i'm
med lately
The first to respond to the good eff
feet of the armistice was the real cs~
tate market. and early in January.
1919, there was inaugurated the cnor-
nous buying movement which has since
natcrialized.

dustry and manufacturing led in the
purchase of big and costly buildings

1919, Greatest Year in History of Real Estate
Auction Market To Be Eclipsed by 1920

The winter of 1918 and spring of
1919 passed without any very marked
activity in the offering of prominent
properties by public auction. Lots
were drug on the market, and the
only commodity that could be pur-
chased for about so cents on the dol
lar. or even less.
Then one fine day in May came the
announcement of the Forthcoming sale
Of the holdings on Washington Heights
belonging to the estate of the late
James Gordon Bennett This great
sale which had the honor Of CON
ducting. marked the actual opening Of
the lot auction market in the year 1919
The success of the Bennett sale swept
the pessimists of the real estate mar
ket completely off their feet A more
important effect. however, was the fact
that it demonstrated to the world at
large that there was plenty Of money
available for investment in real estate,
provided the property to be sold was to
be purchased by the bidders at their
own price. and that the sale was lib
orally and honestly advertised, promoted
and conducted.
Keen observers Of conditions in the
real estate world at once became cog
infant OF the fact that the lot market
