PRIVATE PARLORS

Murder of Dry Agent at Steuben.
 Ylle Brings Cleanup Campaign

Steubenvile, O., Dec. 26.-A fresh and vigorous warfare on speak cas- ies," hip pocket vendors and private parlor parties' as well as the higher ups in Jefferson county's alleged H. quor combine will be launched at once, prohibition officers announced today as the result 0f the staying last midnight of Charles .''Dickey" Blinn, leader of a squad of eight dry agents.
 Cooperating with city police and county officials, the enforcement off, cerc, believe the drive will result in wholesale arrests and the mailing down of the Volstead lid tighter than ever before in this county.
 But while planning the new move against liquor dealers officials admit ted they were baffled by the murder of Blinn whose body with three bull let wounds. was found in dark al ley in the Polish section of Steuben- vile. Twenty feet away lay the empty pocketbook of the officer. His re- volver was missing.
 Killed, Body Moved.
 Only one new theory regarding the manner Tn Wnlcn ne met uedlH was advanced by police today-that he was not killed where his body was found. Police pointed out that the tell-tale pool of blood was missing.
 "Blinn undoubtedly was killed in some resort while on a raidipg excur- sion and his body hidden in the all ley" said Sergeant Richard Eagerly of the steubenville police force. Had he met death in the alley there would have been big blood plots on the pavement"
 Fifth Agent Slain.
 Blinn, known to his friends as the marked man of bootleggers," who operated from his headquarters in Richmond, Ohio. is the fifth Jefferson county prohibition officer to meet death at the hands of unknown gum men. Less than a year ago Mike Vel tries was lured into an automobile, shot and his body thrown from the car along an isolated country road.

NORH DAKOTA BONDS

A FRIEND Of the Star displayed some North Dakota
mill and elevator bonds few days ago. gave
information that these securities then selling
$lo7, par being $780, On this day Liberty bonds
of the of the United States quoted
$1o1.2s
The fact that bonds based upon the public ownership
policy of North Dakota and backed by that state are
commanding higher premium the market than
Liberty bonds backed by the federal government sg-
nifcant to say the least.
The why, undoubtedly is to be found in the
difference between these bonds and Liberty bonds The
mill and elevator bonds based upon productive
dustry in addition to having behind them the
of the of North Dakota Liberty bonds are not
based productive industry They do repre-
sent anything productive the contrary they repre-
sent opposite nonproduct bur-
den taxation. The mill elevator bonds are Sc
cured by the profits of the stateowned mill
at Grand Forks That such security shown
by the fact that the bonds showing
at time when it has become known that the mill
elevator at Grand Forks will commence operations in
October
But there other no doubt that contribute
to the present high premium mill and elevator bonds
Back of them is the State Bank North Dakota pub
lcy owned institution, which them Back of all
is the state of North Dakota Nothing could show more
general confidence in the solid prosperity state the
stability of its industrial and political institutions and
the reliability and sanity of it's people than the that
bonds guaranteed by it the highest sellers
in the market.
These facts make the detractors of the Nonpartsan
league and its industrial program, and the farmer-con-
trolled state of North Dakota look ridiculous Not long
ago this cotere of people reaching from the poll
tcian in North Dakota the financial magnate in Wall
street were exciedy declaring that the Nonpartisan

fishing unsound financially ard would be Stunned
by the investing public that the league leaders were
mountebanks and bankruptng the state of North
Dakota and had destroyed its These charges were
backed up with general boycott of all the publicly
owned institutions and their bonds.
The per cent premium North Dakota bonds is q
complete refutaton of all these charges. 1t fully ex-
the insnoerity of this attack investors would
not now be paying high premium for mill and elevator

The Elk Mountain pilot., 1922-09-28

almost draws back from the latter
judgment, when he recalls Mills
splendid "Story of a Thousand Year
Pine.
This pine grew near the Cliff DWELL
ings at Mesa Verde. A woodchopper's
ak felled it in 1908, when it had COM
pleted one thousand and forty-seven
years of life. Mills reminds US that
it was 636 years old, when Columbus
discovered America With loving
zeal he studied the life history of
that ancient monarch of the forest.
In 1886, flint arrowhead had pene-
trated its side, reminiscent of the
powerful drive of some savage's bow
as it sped the arrow at game or at
some wilder human enemy. In 1910,
the tree was Scared by fire and ak.
Mills supposed that party of Spanish
explorers, who are said to have visited
the Cliff Dwellings in that year, had
camped beneath the friendly shelter
of the old pine, and had thus repaid
it for its kindly Offices. Wrenched
roots and five pound stone under
the bark perhaps told of an earth
quake, when our Second War with
Britain was beginning to shake the
young nation as with earthquake.
What an interesting record! And
with what splendid skill Mills inter-
preted that record!
His accounts of Wild Mountain
Sheep, of Snow Slides, of Beavers,
and of Grizzly are hardly less admir-
able. Indeed, there were few wild
things in these mountains that
did not come under his sympathetic
notice. Alas, it is too late now to
entreat him:
Stay yet little longer-stay
To tell us what the blackbirds say;
To hear the cricket wind his horn;
And call back summer to the corn;
To watch the dauntless butterfly
Sail the green field, her neither sky;
To hear, when mountain darkness
falls,
