Big Strike Threat
Hits Potato Sales
SAFE DELIVERY REFUSED BY
RAILROADS, SAYS LEWIS DIA-
MOND. AFTER INSPECTION
TOUR.

Prospects Of a railroad strike are
interfering seriously with the market
ing Of the Minnesota potato crop,
Lewis Diamond of the John E. Dia-
mond Land & Loan company, said af-
ter a trip through farming districts
from Detroit, Mimi, northward. Rail
roads have refused to guarantee safe
delivery Of potatoes shipped since Oct.
Is, he said, and prices at country ship
ping points have declined to so cents.
"This situation in the potato grow
ing districts is unfortunate, because
potatoes have been the farmers
money crop in many parts of Mime
sofa this year," he said. Il found a
general tendency by farmers to sell
their wheat to pay harvest costs and
to dispose Of their potatoes to obtain
money to live on. Some are holding
their coarse grains, but with oats sell
ing at 16 cents a bushel at country
points and costing IL cents to thresh
they see little prospect of profit"
Territory IN north central Minnesota

bushels an acre at the first of July are

seven bushels in many cases, Mr.. Dia-
mond said, as result of the July

DEADLY GROWTH IN FROGS.

DIR. H. A. Haubold in New York an
nounced that DR.. Franz Kopsch, of the
University of Berlin, claimed to have
discovered that true cancer could be
produced, in frogs at least, by.an earth

discovery was made accidentally, and
later tests confirmed it, the scientist
said
The discovery, if true, is another
step in the confirmation of theory
as to cancer cause advanced in Europe
within the last year, DIR. E. T. Bell,
professor of pathology at the Univ
ersity of Minnesota, said when the
New York dispatch was read to him.
But he saw in it little present help in
the cure of cancer.
European scientists" said DR.. Bell,
recently found that rats feeding on
Issockroaches died of cancer and that
small parasite carried by the cock
roach was probably responsible. The
Berlin scientists angleworm discovery
tends to strengthen the possibility
that cancer is caused by minute or

sovery will be Of any immediate as

and advanced to within few yards Of
a touchdown. On ST. Peter tumble
Roberts recovered and ran IS yards
to st. Peters 6 yard line. Here the
opponents weight showed up again and
they held Redwood for downs. On
receiving the ball they plowed down
the field for a touchdown. They fol-
lowed this with two more the next
quarter and the half ended 81 to 0.
In the second half Redwood opened
up with some passes and had more
success with the atrial style Of attack.
A sixty yard gain was made on two
passes, Evans to Lamberton. This
took little Of the confidence out OF
the opposing lads, but they held Red
wood for downs, and scored a touch
down. st. Peter scored again in the
fourth quarter, the whistle blowing
shortly after with the ball in st. Pet
er's possession.

Danger Of Strike
Growing DINNER
THOUSANDS DAILY REFUSE TO
OBEY THE MANDATORY ORDER
TO WALK OUT.

Chicago, Oct. 22.-Break in the
ranks Of railroad employees came to-
night when more than ], 800, eco work
sers refused to join the big brother
hoods in the October 80 railroad
strike.
Bert M. Jewell, president Of the
railroad department of the American
Federation of Labor, said the feder-
ated shop crafts, composed of MEM
bership Of 100000 has decided not to
walk out after the brotherhoods re-
fused to remain on strike in support
of the shopmen if the transportation
group received settlement acceptable
to them
Trackmen Rescind Strike Order.
On the heels Of JEWELS announce
ment, E. F. Cradle, head of the Main
tenance Of Way and Railway Shop
Laborers state his organization of
nearly 4OO, 900 men had rescinded the
strike order issued yesterday.
The Stationary Engineers, Firemen
and Oilers fell right in line and an-
nounced their strike orders had been
deferred. The union has 1000
members. Timothy Healy, president,
was instructed by the executive COM
mittee to follow the course mapped
out by Jewell.
The Brotherhood of Railway Clerks
with a membership of 100000 joined
others in refusing to join the Brother
hoods strike.
The unions that refused to join the
strike comprise half of the 100000
rail workers in the country and all are
affiliated with the American Fedora
tion of Labor.
The three organizations gave the
refusal of complete cooperation by
the brotherhoods as the reason for the
action, despite the fact that their
members had voted overwhelmingly
in favor Of walkout.
Unions Refused Cooperation.
SIT must be clearly evident that the
membership Of the brotherhoods can
not and will not cooperate with any
other class Of employees, said jewell.
The federated shop crafts, which
lead the secessionist movement, IS
comprised of Is crafts grouped IN six
unions affiliated with the railroad de-
partment Of the American Federation
Of Labor, and was the first organiza-
tion to vote to strike.
Chairmen Of the dissenting unions
will meet again after the United
States railroad labor board announces
it's decision on working rules and
agreements and final action will be
taken at that time.

Fair Association
Elects Officers
r. G. HUBBARD IS ELECTED PRE-
sIDENT AT THE MEETING
HELD LAST FRIDAY.

The newly elected directors Of HE
Redwood County Agricultural Society
met last Friday, October 21st, and
elected the following officers for the
ensuing year whose duty it will be to
guide the destinies Of the fair. The
officers are:
F. G. Hubbard, President.
Geo. Phillips, Vice. President.
Chas. Luscher, Treasurer.
w. A. Hauck, Secretary.
President Stensvad and Secretary
Everett both retired on their personal
request. Both of these men are de-
serving great credit for the untiring
efforts and high regard they always
had for the fair, as much of the sue
cess of such an undertaking depends
upon the pride and ambition Of it's
moving spirits the officers. These
men have been identified with the Red
wood County Fair for the past ten
years and have made it one Of the best
in the State of Minnesota. In fact al
most every county in the state envies
Redwood county and tries to emulate
it. During these ten years the pro-
gress of the fair has been onward and
upward, always little bit better then
formerly. This standard of efficiency
is due to the keen foresight of its. Of
ficers, who were always alert to grasp
opportunities as they presented them
selves.
Being president of county fair is
no small undertaking, but we predict
that Mr. Hubbard's shoulders are suf-
ficiently broad to assume the burden
cast aside by Rud Stensvad, and that
he will endeavor to always maintain
the same high ideals as his predeces-
sor. The Gazette congratulates both
gentlemen. Mr.. Stensvad on what he
has accomplished, and Mr.. Hubbard on
his elevation to this office.

east side of the work room in the West

They were evidently in hurry to

"A neighbor, who was not feeling well,
was up, and saw three men lettering

Big immigration
for MINI. Sighted
FORTY-EIGHT LAND BUYERS
FROM SEVEN STATES AR
RIVED IN SEPTEMBER.

Arrival of 48 land buyers from
seven states to take up their residence
on Minnesota farms in September was
pointed to by Oscar H. Smith, state
immigration commissioner, as fore
taste Of heavy immigration into the
state. Most of the arrivals, he said,
were former renters who found they
were unable to pay high rental prices
demanded in other states.
"The immigrants" said Mr.. Smith,
"came from Iowa, Wisconsin, Michi-
gan, Montana, North Dakota, South
Dakota and Nebraska, the greater
number from Iowa.
"The 48 families scattered among 29
different counties. In the northern
section, Aitkin county received the
largest number, with Marshall and
Beltrami counties a close second. In
the central section, Pine county leads,
with Meeker a close second, while in
the southern division Dakota county
Jared the best.
Every one Of these 48 families
came here with the intention OF max
ing their future home in the best agri-
cultural state in the Union" said Mr.
Smith. "They not only brought their
household effects and other personal
property, but the records in our office
show they came prepared to improve
and till their land, bringing with them
considerable farm machinery, besides
1874 horses and 156 head Of cattle.
