A HUNTER BOLD

It was a clear, cold winter night And Nature lad spread her blanket
 of white. Now it was this same blanket of
 snow
 That had cut off lone wolf's food And left him to worry and brood On just where he would go. Finally, when starvation was near And be was driven beyond fear, He ventured close to the bunk house Where he found everything still as
 mouse.
 Now, in this bunk house does dwell A man suffering from insomnia s
 spell.
 Tom Furgeson is his name. A burly runner of far spread fame. Old Tom, the camp night hawk, Got up this night to take a walk. IL was then with his eagle eye He did spy, on the ground below, This lone wolf lylng on the snow. Tom had none ot the weapons of So you will have to imagine if you

 Before he found the man he was
 looking for. This man had rihe-plenty shells

 He said, "the dirty work I will do. ' When the first look at the wolf he
 did gain He would have shot right through
 the window pane If a young fellow, Eddie Moran, Had not ahead of him ran And opened wide the sash.

Canadian Embargo on Pulp Wood Tends to Create a Monopoly Beyond Our Bor- ders to the Great Detri- ment of the People of the United States.

ness ot the paper situation in the United States lends an added in terest to Senator Underwood res olution, which passed the senate without opposition, and is now be- fore the house committee on foreign affairs. It authorizes the appoint ment of a commission to confer with the Canadian Dominion gov ernment, or the provincial govern ments of Quebec, Ontario and New Brunswick, in respect to ehe can- cellation of restrictive orders in council prohibiting the exportatlon of pulp wood cut from crown (public) lands, the chief source of the pulp wood supply, unless man. ufactured into lumber, pulp or paper thereby tending," says the resolu- ton, 'to create mopoply beyond our borders in the manufacture of paper, to the great detriment of the people of the United States.'
 It must be remembered,
 said Senator Underwood, that
 not only Is one of the great in-
 dustries ot this country in
 volved, but to a certain extent
 its very existence is threatened
 by the fact of the limitation of
 newsprint paper. The news
 papers of this country cannot
 proceed with their business un-
 less they have an adequate and
 reasonable supply. The vast
 ness of the industry l cannot
 tell offhand, but the senators
 know that aside from the news
 paper feature of the matter, this
 IS one ot the very large indus
 tries of the United States, and
 here is an order in council of
 the Dominion government ot
 Canada that is absolutely pre-
 pairing to throttle its lite, or
 force the manufacturers of all
 news sprint paper across the Ca-
 nadian' line, and if they go
 across our government will lose
 control of the industry. The
 newspapers ofthis country will
 be absolutely in the hands of
 the manufacturers of newsprint
 paper in Canada"
 The seriousness of the situation and the need of immediate reIiet, led to this resolution for direct dealing with the Canadian govern ment, rather than through the usual diplomatic channel of London but 1t was stated that Canada is desirous ot taking to herself to a large extent her foreign relations, and even contemplates sending her own diplomatic representatives to this country. :. In a comprehensive review of the situation, written with relation to the bill for a survey of the pulp woods on the public domain and the reforestation of pulp wood lands, the secretary oi agriculture set forth facts showing that the prospect for the future is worse than the present. While the use of wood pulp on large scale for papermaking has been practically developed within the last 50 years, it's growth has been remarkable. In 1899 our consumption was 56o,- 900 tons; in 1918 it was 1860, GOO tons, an increase of about 200 per cent, although our population had increased about 70 per cent only. There is no reason to expect de- creasing future demands for news print.
 AS late as 1909 we produced our
The Wrangell sentinel., 1920-04-08


 Only one-third of the American newspapers issued in 1919 were printed on the product of American forests. This startling change had taken place in 10 years. Our de- pendence upon the Canadian pulp wood was shown by the fact that in 1918 we imported from there I,37o.o boo cords of pulp wood, and wood which cost sIo per cord in 1916 was as high as S25 in 1919. In 1918 we produced 3,3I3, 3,S6I.tons of wood pulp, of which I,374,5o4 tons were mechanical or ground wood and I,456,633 tons sulphite, these two being used in the manu- facture of newsprint in the propor- iion of four of the first to one of the latter. Before the war ground wood>pulp cost about sI4 per ton to manufacture, and the consequent low cost of newsprint made the cheap American newspaper possible and this in turn greatly stimulated the demand for newsprint.
 Meanwhile Canada, according to the secretary of agriculture, by welcoming the manufacture of pulp and paper in her own territory, has absorbed the North American ex- pansion in newsprint production. The prohibition of export of pulp wood from crown lands was pri- narily to force manufacture on Ca nadian soil, and so successfully was this done that in 10 years pre- ceding 1919 Canadian pulp mills increased in number 57 per cent, and the output increased many times because of the installation of the most modern equipment, while our own industry was at standstill. It has remained so, centered largely in the Northwest and Lake states, where the annual cut exceeds by two or three times the forest growth, while in New England there is every indication that the supplies will be exhausted within 20 years. In New York, where nearly 50 per cent of the manufacturing industry is located, at the present rate of cutting, the supply will be exhaust ed in 10 years. In the Pacific Northwest and in Southeastern Alaska, where our largest remain ing timber Supplies suitable for newsprint are located, there has been practically no development.
 Nor IS the Canadian outlook en- couraging. It IS expected that in the eastern provinces the available supply will be practically exhausted within 25 years, and the only pro- vince where expansion on a large scale is expected is British Colum- bia, and even this may not he suf- hcient to offset the probable decline in eastern Canada.
 This shows that the paper
 situation is not a temporary
 one, but one which may grow
 more serious. The great in-
 crease in price, owing to the
 scarcity, may be partly met by
 advancing the prices of news-
 papers and the rates of adver- Using, and by reducing the
 size of the publications, but
 these do not strike at the root
 of the matter. As Secretary
 Houston said, "A normal and
 increasing demand can be met
 most satisfactorily by yincreased
 production. Any decrease in
 the consumption rate will be
 necessarily due to serious
 shortage of supplies or prohib-
 tive prices, and in any case
 can not be viewed without
 alarm

ALLIES INSIST ON
GERMAN COMPLIANCE

Paris, Feb. THE Allied govern
ment will stand firm in their decision
that Germany must live up to the
trims of the treaty of Versailles, the
council Of ambassadors decided today.
For the moment, the coufcil an
nounced, the Allies have no intention
of moderating their demand for the
surrender of Teuton war guilty De
spite frantic protests from Berlin,
Article 228 must be considered Just as
effective as evrry other article in the
Versailles pact, the ambassadors made
known.
Article 228 provides that the Ger
man government recognizes the right
Of the Allied and Associa ted Powers to
bring before any military tribunals
persons accused of having committed
acts in violation OF the laws and Gus
toms of war. Such persons shall, ii
found guilty, he sentenced to punish
ments laid down by law. This provi-
sion will apply Notwithstanding any
proceedings or prosecution before
tribunal in Germany or in the terri
tory of her Allies"
The revised Allied covering note,
with the list Of accused, probably will
be presented to Gustav Baur, Ger
man chancellor, in Berlin tonight, ac-
cording to the French foreign office
Text of the note was approved By
the council Of ambassadors today and
was to be dispatched to NJ. Demarcily.
French diplomatic representative in
Berlin. Demarciliy will present off
cially the list of war guilty, with the
covering note, TO Chancellor Bauer
The text Of the note was not made
public.
In announcing its decision to insist
upon observance of Article 223 the
council made it clear that any weaken
ing on its part of the demands made
upon Germany by the Versailles
treaty might result in even further
demands by the Germans.
The German government, it was
pointed out, already shows a decided
tendency TO evade the terms of the
treaty.
j The French representatives, it is
known, were particularly eager that
Germany be required to obey the terms
of the treaty to the letter. British legal
authorities, on the other hand. were re
ported to have urged moderation in the
demands for surrender of the accused
Germans.
British Urge Moderation.

Fear of Epidemic
Causes Closing
PUBLIC CONGREGATING POINTS
CLOSED BY LOCAL BOARD
OF HEALTH.

Redwood Falls, like most other Min
nesota towns is fearful of the ravageS
of influenza and is decided to take all
precautions to stop possible epidem-
ic if possible. With this in view the
local Board of Health last Friday
night closed, until further notice, all
pool halls moving picture shows,
churches and the community house and
asks that all public gatherings of any
natuno whatever be postponed.
This order has caused the postpone
ment of the Equality Club banquet
which was to have been held Monday
evening at the home of Mr.. and Mrs.
P. o. Callaghan, the Commercial Club
banquet at the Armory Thursday even
ing, the normal department play, all
lodges, society meetings and the re-
spectiye banquets of the Twentieth
Century Club and the Wonans Club
both of which were to have been held
Monday, February 16. While this
is causing some disappointment, resi-
dents are agreed that the closing or
der is wise one and are apparently
willing to assist in this way or by any
other means to try to stop the course
of the disease.
While there are many cases in the
city, there are few extremely severe
ones and there is no reason for citizens
to become panic-strick1n There is,
however, every need that they exercise
the most extreme caution to keep
themselves and the members of their
families from becoming influenza vic
TINS. The physicians of the city are
doing their best to handia the situa-
ton and are succeeding admirably in
taking care of the cases, but they are
doing it at sacrifice of their own
time for rest and recreation and should
have no added burdens put upon them
if the addition can possibly be avoid
ed. Nurses are practically an un-
known quantity both locally and in 9th
er places. Therefore if behooves ev-
cry one to take the utmost caution tc
keep from becoming i'll. Ordinary
health precautions of fresh air, sensi.
BILE eating, plenty of rest and avoiding
of crowded, badly ventilated rooms are
| the best preventive measures. Pre-
vention is about three thirds of tht
cure and its attainmen is well worth
working for.

Contract IS Let
by Commissioners
JOHN SCHILT WILL RECON
STRUCT REDWOOD COUNTY
COURTHOUSE.

At meeting of the Board of Red
wood County held February 8, John
Schilt of Redwood Falls was awarded
the contract for the remodeling of the
courthouse according to the plans sub
mitted several weeks ago. The work
of getting ready for tire enlarging of
vaults and office spaces on the first
floor has already been started and
will be pushed stedily. Mr.. Schilt's
bid for this necessary work was ST.
36O.
Jaehning Brothers of Redwood Falls
were given the contract for plumbing
and sewerage at $685." and C. A.
Fobes the electric wiring contract for
$505.
No action has thus far been taken
upon the question of redistricting Red
wood County and ire hearing on this
matter was adjourned to March 2, at
two o'clock.
A petition signed by about a hun
dred and thirty residents of the coun-
ty was presented to the commissioners
This petition asked that the question
of county agent being employed to
work in Redwood County should be
submitted to the people of the county
The commissioners considered ire pc
tition insignificant as there are now
over five hundred members of the
Farm Bureau each paying an annual
membership fee of two dollars and fif-
| ty cents. The ssessment made for this
purpose does not exceed fifty-one
cents on each well-improved quarter
section in the county, therefore the
suggestion of a small number of pc.
titioners trat the matter should be sub
mittad to vote was regarded as OF
very minor Importance and was laie
aside by the County Board.

Otho McNew, the foster son of Mr..
and Mrs. D. McNew died at the home
of his parents, southest of Redwood
Falls, last Thursday evening after a
weeks illness. The trouble started
with an attack of sleeplessness and
the disease was peculiar one which
baffled the skill of the five physici-
ans who were consulted about the
case. The boy was twelve years of
age and was pupil in the sixth
grade of the Redwood Falls schools.
Mr.. and Mrs McNew took the body
to their formal home in Indiana for

Europe Fears
Second UpheavaI
FAILURE OF GERMANY TO DE-
LIVER WAR GUILTY" CAUSES
FEELING AMONG ALLIES.
BERLIN is BITTER.
NO GERMAN WILL BE SURREN-
DERED' SAYS NOSKE, MUST
OBEY TERMS" SAYS FRANCE

Berlin, Feb 7-Indications grew in
official circles here that Germany will
not submit to enforcement of article
22S of the Versailles treaty, providing
the surrender of Teuton war guilty.
Gustav Noske, minister of defense.
was reported to have telegraphed the
chief of the German naval staff in
the Baltic that mo German will be
surrendered"
Noske's telegram according to the
report, was in reply to one from the
naval chief declaring the navy would
not consent to the extradition of Ad-
mlral Won Trotha, whose name is on
the Allied list of accused.
Demand Reaches Germany.
The list of accused, with its covering
note, was expected to be handed to the
government officially tonight through
either the French or British charge
ID affairs.
Noske's statement today followed
bitter condemnation of the Allied de
mand by prominent German leaders
yesterday.
Matthias Erzberger, one of the strong
men IN the present government, cred
tied with having much to do with fore
ing Germany to sign the Versailles
treaty, said the government and the
people were in full accord in resisting
the Allied demand.
The Lokal Anzeiger quoted Field
Marshal Won Hindenburg and General
Ludendorff, whose names have been
mentioned as prominent in the list of
accused, as asserting that no German
officer would surrender himself yolun-
tarily.
TeutOns Are Defiant.
Germans acclaimed the statement of
Baron Kurt Won Lersner, who resigned
as head of the German delegation in
Paris rather than transmit the list of
German war guilty to Berlin, that the
Allied demand must be blocked at all
costs.
Surrender of suchm en- as Won Hin
denburg and Ludendorff, whom all
the fatherland loves and whose guilt
lessness is above doubt" Won Lersner
said when he arrived here Yesterday,
cannot be tolerated"
IF Germany refuses this shameful
request" Won Lersner said, "eyen her
enemies will have respect for her"
Count Won Bernstorff said: 1T would
be simply out of the question to lay
hands on Won Hindenburg."
