BLACK HAND OUT
FOR EASY MONEY
ELY BUSINESS MAN RECEIVES
THREATENING LETTER
$4,000 WANTED.

John Kapsch, one of the firm of
Matt Kapsch, dealers in general mer-
chandise in this city, last week re-
ceived letter threatening him with
dire calamities providing he did not
leave SIS, 900 at certain place near
his farm on the White Iron road.
Kapsch made up phoney bundle and
left it at the place designated. He
also notified the police and Chief
Coffey and crew were hid in the VIC
Unity to capture the party getting
the cache. No one showed up how
ever and it is plainly evident that
those responsible for the letter knew
what was going on as the following
day Kapsch received another just a
little sitter than the one before and
the police made another trip to the
spot.
The officers are working on the
matter and have a fellow under sur
vigilance. He is being carefully
watched and probably an arrest will
follow. 1t seems that when the police
were going to the place, the man
under suspicion was watching them
from the roadside. As the same
man was in the vicinity both days the
blind plant was made and the police
watched the spot, it is the. opinion
he knows more about the affair than
he would care to tell.

MINNESOTA SHOULD HEED.

The following taken from the Iron
Trade Review of Cleveland should

vide it with data relating to produe-
ton costs to be used as basis in the
revaluation of mines, and also "for
the benefit of the legislature in case
the information is needed in the con-
sideration of the tonnage tax" This
request is somewhat along the line of
that made of the iron and steel in
dustry by the federal trade commits
sion, but it is being complied with
by the ore producers, who, as mat
ter of fact, have submitted such data
in the past when the tonnage tax

LAID TO REST.
FUNERAL OF SERGEANT PHILIP
T. WHITE AT CLEAR LAKE
MONDAY.

The funeral of Sergeant Philip T
White, son of Supt. and Mrs. H. E.
White of this city, who died of pneu-
monia in Germany while with the
army of occupation shortly before he
was slated for return home, took
place at Clear Lake, MINI. Monday
and was one of the largest ever held
in that section, many from st. Cloud,
Little Falls, Royalton and neighbor-
ing places being in attendance.
The remains arrived from the east
Sunday and were taken to St. Cloud
and from there the following day to
Clear Lake. The floral offerings to
the memory of the departed hero
were many and handsome, the tribute
from the Frank Lozar Post of this
city being one of the best. Services
were conducted at the cemetery and
military funeral was given. Will
son Carlson, Dave Blackmore and LIE
Roy Schaefer of this city, H. w. Har-
rison of ST. Cloud, C. A. Stickney of
Clear Lake and Eli Dunculovich of
Aurora acted as pail bearers, all
being in full uniform. The service
was impressive.
The funeral was held under the
auspices of the Legion Post of St
Cloud, which post also furnished a
quartette whiche rendered several
fine selections.

not over the individual signaturesfof
the persons supplying them.
SIN his treatise on the oressitna-
ton, Mr.. Davis points out the difficult
ties already confronting the pro-
ducers, and from a careful reading,
it is clear that those difficulties will
not be lightened by the proposed ton
mage tax. One of the most signif-
icant points made is that the state
has much to lose and nothing to gain
by discouraging initiative in sthe
production of ore.
GAS Mr.. Davis points out, aansw
era is dawning in mining in the Lake
Superior district. Owners of mines
which are nearing depletion are look
ing about for other sources Of sup
ply; capital is notgso ready az in the
past for investment IN the Lake
Superior district. The competitive
possibilities of other fields are becom-
ing more impressive. Surely, ifsthe
tonnage tax was unfair when the
Lake Superior district was in its
prime, it would prove doubly oppres-
sive at this time.
mining operations are under
going transition; the prosperity of
the industry of the future depends
on how successful producers viii be
in making merchantable the almost
inexhaustible supply Of low-grade
ores. AS Mr.. Davis says:
''The state of Minnesota need have
no fear Of an iron-ore shortage or
barren waste of abandoned mining
lands. The iron-ore industry will be
thriving in this district as long as
iron and steel are useful metals, pro-
vided careful and exhaustive study
of the treatment of low-grade mat
erial continues and all possible en-
couragement is given to this impor-
tant industry by state and federal
authorities"

an expert on the iron ore question.

Nothing will cause orr American

''Third: There should be COM

joyed by all.
Fourth: The foreign-born

GOOD ADVICE.
PROBATION OFFICER EVERETT
MAKES REPORT AND GIVES
GOOD ADVICE.

The report of Probation Officer
C. E. Everett of Hibbing for the
quarter ending July 81, is very inter-
esting and shows excellent work on
the part of the Office. The report
shows that there were 1872 petitions
filed As of which were adults, % boys
and girls and 40 dependent boys and
girls. Is were committed to the
training schools. IL mothers were
granted county aid affecting 40
children. 20 allowances were revok-
ed affecting n children. 16 allow
ances were increased affecting 81
children. was the general average
per month per child in the county
aid. The report also shows that
the juvenile court reports 40 mis-
celaneous dependents, IA incorrig-
ible, IL larceny, 1 truancy and 1
speeding charge heard. The Hib-
bling municipal court reports 5 speed
ing, 2 burglary, 1 bastardy, carnal
knowledge, l carrying passengers
without permission, 2 taking cars
without permission, and 2 violating
game laws. Prosecutions for having
slot machines and punchboards were
also made. In concluding his report
Officer Everett makes the following
comments:
"As such large percentage of the
children that Juvenile Workers have
to deal with are of foreign parent
age, 1 wish to appeal to the public
for little more earnest cooperation
with all Juvenile workers along the
lines of child welfare as well as
Americanization.
"We have too often decribed the
failure, on the part of the new AM
erican to adopt the ways and stand
ards of our own land, quite forget
ting that through our own aloofness
they were not getting into contact
with those customs.
'How shall we atone for our aloof-
ness?
First: Improve the environ
ments and conditions under which
these people are living. Get them
to understand that our laws are to
be obeyed and the proper way to do
that is to obey them ourselves, thus
setting the example as well as show
ing them that the majority should
rule in this country.

Department of the Interior, in comp

Marquette, Mich, visited the Sup
erior National Forest Monday. All
three members of the party are Chip
pewa Indians and were sent to this
Forest to secure allotments of lands
containing merchantable stands of
white and Norway pine. The party,
after learning that all land within the
Superior Forest that is government
owned is classified as non-agricultur-
al and can not be listed, returned to
Washington.
Another month has passed without
forest fire. This is the first season
in the history of the Forest that no
fires were reported during themonths
of June and July. While the fire.
quent rains have helped considerably
in the prevention of fires it is felt
that great amount of credit is due
the local people and the tourists US
ing more care than usual with their
camp fires. The u. S. forest officers
wish to express their appreciation for
the manner in which the people have
responded in helping to keep the
Forest free from fire.

assist in caring for the many people

The berry season is in full swing
at this time and it is requested that
the berry pickers use extra precau-

the fire is completely out before leav-
