,as
The gentlemen named above were
appointed at a meeting held at the
supervisors room in the court house
last Wednesday and attended by men
from all over Iron county who are
interested in getting grazing lands for
the Montana and other western stock
men who want to~ship in cattle and
sheep for emergency grazing, to direct
the work
The meeting was called for the
purpose of conferring with Mr.. G. l..
Cleland. a u. S. government represent
tatiye who came here accompanied by
J. w. Weston of Marquette.
Mr. Cleland came here as a result
OF the ST. Paul conference called by
the federal government TO provide for
emergency grazing lands for the
stock men OF the west who are COM
PEELED to move their stock to other
fields in order to save them. The
conference was attended by represen-
tatives Of the Upper Peninsula De
velopment Bureau who offered the
stockmen the vacant lands OF the
upper peninsula and the offer was
accepted.
Mir. Cleland was designated by the
U. Department Of Agriculture to
canvass the upper peninsula and
get the location OF grazing tracts and
what information is available.
Get Reduced Freight Rates.
The railroads have offered special
inducements TO these drought-stricken
stockmen. The rate, as we understand
II. is the one-way freight for all stock
stopped in transit for feeding pur-
poses BY this is meant that cattle
and sheep sent here TO be fed and
then shipped to the Chicago market
win take only the one freight from
shipping point to grazing point When
the stock is shipped to the market no
charge Is made, provided the ship
ment Is made within nine months.
Stock wintered here will pay the two
rates,
Thus. western stockmen will be out
very little by shipping their stock TO
Cloverland, as they would have to pay
the same rate to get their cattle or
sheep TO Chicago when selling time
came around il they had been kept
upon their western ranches.
Many Tracts Listed.
II was impossible In the short time
allotted and with the slight informa-
tion at hand TO list up carefully the
lands available and suited to the pur-
pose. However, the gentlemen pres

CLAIM GERMANS WATCH PROVINCE

London, May 27. Correspondence of The Associated Press. )-While the attention of the Allies is concentrat- ed on the Germans along the Western front. the German government off, cfals in Schleswig are preventing the Danes, who have the consent of the Entente, from shipping food to their own needy countrynen in Schleswig
 This information has been received here by Edmund Gosse, well-known English literary critic.
 'I learn," he said in letter to the Morning Post, that the burgomas ster of F1ansburg declares that the hun gry inhabitants of that town, the lar gest in Schleswig have no need of Danish food.''
 The same German official, according to MT. Gosse's information has re- fused passports to any families in the town and district of Flensburg to cross over into Denmark to accept an offer of Jutland and Funen to receive several thousand Danish speaking Schleswig children. If Danes in Flensburg dislike German rule" he puts it, they may starve.''
 MT. Gosse terms as "scandalous'' the treatment of Schleswig soldiers repatriated through Denmark.

WHEN YOU WAKE UP DRINK GLASS

wash the polsons and toxins from system before putting more

wash yourself on the inside before breakfast like you do on the outside This is vastly more important because the skin pores do not absorb the i'm purtties into the blood, causing Ill., mess, while the bowel pores do.
 For every ounce of food and drink taken into the stomach. nearly an ounce of waste material must be car ried out of tho body. If this waste material Is not eliminated day by day it quickly ferments and generates poisons, gases and toxins which are absorbed or sucked into the blood stream. through the lymph ducts which should suck only nourishment to sustain tho body.
 A splendid health measure is to drink, before breakfast each day. a glass of real hot water with a tea spoonful of limestone phosphate in 1t, which is a harmless way to wash these poisons, gases and toxins from the stomach, liver. kidneys and bow els: thus cleansing, swceteninE and fresheninR the entire alinontary can al before putting more food into the stomach.

HELP RUSSIANS.

Tftsikar, Manchuria, May 5.-Rieht at the edge of the great Mongoliap desert. Major George H. Tower of Eauclaire, Wis. and eleven other American engineers. have Iabored throughout a, rigorous winter, help ing the Russians run their great Trans-Siberian railroad. now fdtsor- sanized and soreiy in need of Ameri- can assistance. These sturdy men form a section of the corps of work CTS organized by John F. Stevens the American engineer. in an attemp mpt to reorganixe the railroad.
 We've had it 55 below zero here, ' said Major Tower to the correspon- dent of the Associated Press. "but we've got used to 1t. Still, it is cold You can't deny that and the nights are pretty long"
 The Major said he and his asso- ciates had charge of the railroad section between Titsikar and Hailor and that 147 locomotives were as- signed to their section. They were al- ways waiting for a time when they would be given a bigger opportunity to help in the reorganizing of the railroad.
 Both Titsikar and Hailar are grea, centers for the soya bean industry for which Manchuria is famed. Also the district abounds in cattle.
