GRITZ LIKES NEW LOCATION

GRITZ LIKES NEW LOCATION.
John Gritz, former deputy clerk and
recorder of Valley county, arrived the
first of the week from Saum, Mime
sofa, where the Gritz family now re-
side. Johnnie is now living the SIM
pie life on a little farm on the banks
of Red Lake, in northern Minnesota,
and states that he and his family like
it fine in their new location. They
suffered a crop failure this year be-
cause Of too much moisture, a condi-
ton that will be hard to believe by
the farmers of this part of the country,
but which was just as effective in di-
minishing the bankroll as the lack of
moisture proved itself.
He says the hunting and fishing is
simply great where he lives, aid that
one can step out any morning and
bring in a deer for breakfast. The
little inland town of lSaum is situated
fifteen miles from 3railroad and is
surrounded by heavy timber of some
commercial value. The only draw.
back that John has found with the
country down there is the number and
enthusiasm of the mosquitoes-whe

Special Ordinance Passed to Cope
With Threatened Fuel Short
age in Glasgow.
DEALERS BINS ARE EMPTY
Demand for Coal Becoming More and
More Insistent With Little Pros
pect for Early Relief.-L. f.
Jones Fuel Administrator.

Mayor Matt Murray called special
meeting of the Glasgow city council
Wednesday evening to take decisive
action on the fuel shortage in Glas-
gov and an emergency ordinance was
passed authorizing the mayor to ap-
point fuel administrator and out
lining plans for the supervision and
distribution of all fuel in the city. At
the present time the dealers in the city
are entirely out of coal with little re-
lief in sight and the demands are be-
coming more and more insistent daily.
The ordinance, which appears in full
in another column, provides that no
one may procure in any way, fuel of
any. kind, with the exception of coal
oil and gasoline, within the city limits
without first procuring permit from
the local administrator. It also pro-
vides that no dealer is allowed to dis
pose Of any fuel of any kind without
a permit.
This plan has been adopted in prac-
tically every city in the state and aims
to do away with the boarding of fuel
and distribution that will take care
of the needs of all.
L. E. Jones has been appointed fuel
administrator for the city Of Glasgow
and has already started work checking
up the local situation. He states thai
in many cases people have laid ir
enough fuel to take them through the
winter while in others barely enough
coal is on hand to carry them through
the week.
All indications at the present tim,
are that the situation will gradually
become better, due to the mines re
opening, and all persons who hav'
fuel enough to carry them through tn
next month are urged to refrain from
buying until conditions become better

MURDER and REVOLT
URGED TO GAIN ENDS
Documents Seized in Raids by Federal
Agents Reveal Plans.-Much
Is Unprintable.

Washington, Nov. lO.-Plans OF the
Union of Russian Workers to bring
about an overthrow of all government
through general, strike is revealed
in documents seized in the nationwide
raids of federal authorities Friday and
Saturday nights and made public by
Assistant Attorney General Garvan.
With the government overthrown,
"wiped from the earth that is a re-
minder of the right to private owner
ship of property, the Russian workers,
according to their manifesto, looked
forward to the magnificent, beautiful
form of man without God, without
a master and free Of authority"
The documents and publications OBJ
tanned in the raids, officials said, are
of the most inflammatory nature and
make no effort to conceal the unions
program of destruction and death to
achieve it's ends.
Much of the material made public
is of such a nature as to cause any
newspaper publishing it to be barred
from the mails.
This publication, the most recent put
out by the union, was said by Mr.. Gar
van to be the most dangerous piece of
propaganda ever disseminated by any
radical organization in the United
States. The manifesto outlines the
purpose of the movement inaugurated
by the union as complete destruction
of private control of natural resour-
ces and capital and complete destruc-
tion of power of rule and the institu-
tion invested with powers to enforce
rule of one man over another"
Under the caption of "what should
be our means of carrying on the
fight?" the manifesto says: "What
must we do, the vanguard of the prole-
tariat? We must consciously hasten
the elementary movement of the strug-
gle of the working class; we must con-
vert small strikes into general ones,
and convert the latter into armed re-
volts of the laboring classes against
capital and state.
"At the time of this revolt we must
at the first favorable opportunity re-
sort to an immediate seizure of all
means of production and make the
working classes the masters in fact of
all general wealth. At the same time
we must mercilessly destroy all re-
mains Of government authority and
class domination, liberating prisoners,
demolish prisons and police officers;
destroy all legal papers pertaining to
private ownership of property; all of
the field fences and boundaries, and
burden all certificates of Indebtedness
in a word, we must take care that
everything is wiped from the earth and
effect the destruction of public and
private ownership of property; blow
up barracks, kill gendarmes, shoot the
most prominent military and police
officers, must be the most concern of
the revolving working people. In the
work of destruction we must be mer-
CHESS for the slightest weakness upon
our part may afterward cost the work.

blood"

NO LYCEUM COURSE, BUT
NEW PIANOS PURCHASED

No lyceum course was signed for
this year for three reasons:
First. In order to carry on the
musical work of the school in salts
factory and progressive manner it is
necessary to purchase two new pianos
for the city schools. Second, recur-
renee of the influenza was expected
and the lyceum bureaus informed the
local management that it would de-
mand payment for the attractions
whether the concerts were given OF
not. Third, the crop situation in the
community.
The lyceum course required some
thing more than $3.50 and this will
go long way in paying for two new
pianos. The present plans are to have
several school entertainments of a
musical and dramatic character and
thus keep the money at home and also
give the school children some valuable
experience. The teachers feel conf.
dent that these entertainments will be
enjoyed quite as much as the lyceum
entertainments. The first entertain.
ment will be given by the students OF
the first four grades the week before
Thanksgiving. The second will be ar
operetta by the students of the fifth
and sixth grades aho,1t the first woak
in December. The third will be two
plays given by the students of the
eventh and eighth grades. The fourth
entertainment will be concert of sa.
cred music by the high school chorus
and will be given the Friday before
Christmas. A uniform price of 2E
cents will be charged for each en-.
tertainment.
A Kohler-Campbell piano was pur.
chased for the south side school and
= McPhail piano for the high school
Both instruments have been received
and are beautiful in appearance and
in tone. All parents should take the
first opportunity to see and hear these
excellent pianos. The children and the
teachers are expecting the same splen.

amos paid for that the Glasgow peo.
pie always give to all school under.
