CONSTRUCTION OF HOMES
CONTINUES TO PR0GRE'Sl
Production Of Lumber Con-
. tinues on Scanty Basis in All
Saving Regions

Despite the fact that uncertainty
as to the betterment of the building
labor situation continues in some Sec
tions, building as whole continues
| to show progress says the American
Lumberman, of Chicago. The most
pronounced activity is to be found in
the construction of small houses, and
retail 'lumbermen are selling a very
respectable volume of lumber for this
purpose. In fact, in a number Of
cases the actual number of feet of
lumber sold this year exceeds that
sold during 1920.
For example, in one Of the largest
Ohio cities, where a careful record
was kept, it was found that during
March the number of feet Of lumber
sold was approximately twice the
number of feet sold during the CORES
bonding week in 1920, but that for
1921 the total in money realized was
only slightly greater than for the
lmuch smaller amount sold during
1920. This stresses the size of the
reductions in the retail prices of lum-
Der, reductions which, OF course. were
first reflected in similar reductions
in the wholesale price.
Production of lumber continues
upon a scanty basis in all manufac-
turing regions. The majority Of Or
ders placed are for rush shipment
and show that buyers are not an
ticipating their requirements. but.
because of good transportation con-
iitions, feel that they are justified
IN expecting to get their orders thru
from the sawmills promptly and
thus patch up stocks which are be-
coming rather badly broken in many
cases. Prices have not shown any
appreciable change in trend. though
the market does show a somewhat
firmer underlying tendency.

TRANSIENT ARRESTED ON
MANDLARCENY CHARGE
Pleads Guilty to Theft Of
Liberty Bonds and Money
o.. at kelliher Hotel

Stanley Sebos.le, a transient, was
arrested yesterday charged with
grand larceny in the first degree, for
alleged theft of two $50 Liberty
bonds, two watches and some silver
from guests of the Kelliher hotel.
,Seboske it is believed, noticed the
number of the room assigned to two
men who registered at the hotel and
made his Sway up to the room before
the men went up The door being
unlocked, Seboske went into the room,
got under the bed and RENAME ed there
until his victims were asleep, then
he secured the loot and left. 49,
He, himself, shared q room in the
Same hotel with another man and
went to the room after the robbery.
When discovery was made of the rob-
berry, the roommate of Seboske was
suspected, as he had left the hotel
during the night and had later re-
turned. He convinced the police of
his innocense but lated circumstan-
ces led to suspicion of the guilt Of
Seboske. y,
Officer Arnold searched both men
and the room occupied by them and
was about to give up the search when
upon feeling the bottom Of a dresser
drawer discovered something pasted
to the bottom and covered with pa
per. 1t proved to be one of the lib
erty bonds concealed in the cover Of
an I. w. W. card case. Seboske was
taken into custody by the police and
later confessed his guilt. -%
It is understood he will plead gull
ty before Judge Stanton and will re-
ceive sentence Seboske admitted, he
had been doing the same kind of
stealing in various cities but had al
ways escaped capture. The local po-
lice, by persistent effort only, were
finally able to land their man behind
the bars after an admitted career of
similar crimes r.5i &

TRAPPER BRINGS BODY
OUT OF NORTH WlLDS

Duluth, April 2O.-S. 2. McClena-
CHAN, veteran trapper, better known
as "Curley, the Trapper," is expected
to arrive home this week from six
weeks trip into the Canadian north,
from where he brought back the
body of a fellow trapper. who fell a
victim to scurvy and died while alone
in the wilds.
The return of McClenaghan from
his long and strenuous pilgrimage
and the burial of A.. o. Reinhart, the
illfated trapper, brings to close the
final chapter of a narrative which
only the followers of the trapping in
the northland appreciate best.
Last week McClenaghan turned
Remnants body over to the family at
Shawano, Wis, where 1t was buried,
almost year to the day from the
time death came.
Mr.. Reinhart outfitted at The Pas,
Man, in the spring of 1919 and start
ed north to locate a trapping ground,
settling and building a cabin about
200 miles north OF Nelson House on
North Indian Lake, a region little
known and farther north than the
majority of the trapping grounds.
He seems to have forgotten to take
a remedy for scurvy with him, or
else he was not aware of one. He
left a complete diary of his daily
sufferings up within a few weeks OF
his death, the last entry being made
on April 9, 1920. His body was
found some time in February, last.
MIR. Reinhart was well known in
Fort Francis, Ont, and by the en-
ployees of the Crookston Lumber
Company at that place, having been
three years in the employ OF E. J.
Letford, now of this city.

KELLIHER MAN CUT IN !.
TWO BY CIRCULAR Saw.
Setter at George Strand Mill
Meets Death Instantly Late
- Yesterday Afternoon

A watch which Tracy Hopkins Of
|Kelliher carried in the watch pocket
of his trousers still shows the hour
at which he met his death late yester-
day afternoon when he fell across a
circular saw at the George Strand
sawmill at Kelliher and was severed
in two just below the abdomen. J. The
deceased, who was about IS years of
age, had been working at the mill
since the opening about ten days ago.
He was a single man, his parents liv-
ing near Norden. ~ 49,. j.. .. =.
& Mr.. Hopkins was employed as set
ter on the carriage at the mill, but
Just how the accident occurred is not
known for certain. The sawyer saw
him just as he fell upon the saw, but
had not seen him slip or stumple pre-
viously. The saw was stopped as
soon as possible but not before it had
done it's fatal work. It is said that
Mr.. Hopkins fell against the back
side Of the circular saw and was car
ried over with it until his body hit
on the other side. A knife, which he
was carrying in his pocket, was near
nv cut in two also. The hands Of the
watch. which were stopped whom the
teeth of the saw smashed the works,
show that the accident happened at
$40. ~
County Coroner H. N. Mckee was
summoned at once and he prepared
the body for burial after investigating
the circumstances of death. Ar
arrangements for the funeral were held
up last evening awaiting word from
the parents Of the deceased.
