EASTERN DEALER. Sees
FUTURE FOR HORSE

| The horse situation is more serious
today than at any time since the
war, Dr. A. D. Cronk, of East Buffalo,
IN. Y, we'll known horse dealer, said
recently in an interview given to the
Horse Association of America, in
which he urged breeders and farmers
to return to raising good horses and
mules, declared prices were high and
bound to go higher, and warned that
a shortage of good draft horses suit
able for city work was at hand.
DR.. Cronk said, Western breeders
need have no fear for the present and
future market for real draft and
wagon horses because there has been
no machine yet invented to take the
place OF the horse in the cities or
on the farm that is as reliable and
economical
"Horses were the only thing on the
farm that did not advance in price or
hold their own during the war; as a
consequence farmers stopped breed
ing-the number of stations has been
cut down at least half lin most coun-
ties of the principal horse breeding
states The big drop in the prices
of cattle, hogs and sheep, crippled
the farmers financially. Horses could
be sold Knowing the farmers had to
have money, buyers were quick to
take advantage of the situation by
buying many high class animals that
usually were not for sale, with the
result that the country has been prac-
tically stripped of better grades Of
draft horses. In from 900 to 400
horses going through Chicago and
Buffalo markets, not six of the lot
are four-year-olds This shows the
number of drafters necessary for
future supply in the country.
Up to a few years ago, eastern
buyers would accept only geldings,
but the draft horse shortage has
changed this and for three years a
large number of the drafters going
east have been mares. The general
sale of good draft mares has depleted
the farms of just the kind of mares
they need now to breed from"

MINNESOTA MAY SEE PRO
GRESSIVE LEGISLATION

st. Paul, Minn-(A. P.)-Guaranty
of state bank deposits, rural credits
act, the return of county offices to
party lines, excepting legislators, and
the farmer-labor proposal for the
elimination of the present party state
endorsing convention, are to have the
attention of the legislature, which
cOnvenes tomorrow, according to an
nounced plans of some members.
Bonding of country warehouses and
elevators to enable issuance of ware
house receipts to be used by farmers
are negotiable tender and permitting
cooperative societies to organize
their own cattle loans. are included
in other proposed farmer legislation.
Although elected on a non-partisan
basis the political alignment of mem
bers is said to promise a session of
interesting activity. The farmer
labor group has more than one-third
of the house membership of 131 and
about the same ratio in the 67 mem
bers of the senate. The first test of
the farmer-labor group will come in
the election of speaker.
For the first time in state history,
four women will sit in the legisla-
ture, occupying seats in the house.
They are Mrs. Hannah Kempfer of
and Mrs. Mabeth Hurd Paige,
Miss Myrtle Cain, and Mrs Susan
Dickey Hough, all of Minneapolis.
A bill to be introduced by Repre-
sentative Frank Nimicks will provide
for the exemption of women from
jury duty in the hearing of salacious
cases. Other probable measures will
provide for an increase in the state
occupational tax, including the tax
on iron ore from six to ten per cent;
prohibition of manufacture and sale
of filled milk; restoration of capital
punishment for murder; state in
come tax; limiting per capita tax;
unemployment relief; child welfare,
and twenty million dollar biennial
appropriation for completion of the
state highway paving program.

great grandchildren. At IA years of

ALLEGE Wife IS Cruel;
FILES DIVORCE PAPERS

Claiming that his wife tr1lted him
in cruel and inhuman waZ Clarence
Ira Thomas Wednesday filed proceed
ings in the court of the second judicial
district against Fannie Thomas. The
couple were married at Spokane, on
December 21, 1914.
The plaintiff asks the custody OF
the two minor children, the only issue
from the marriage, and whatever else
seems justifiable in the eyes of the
court
The defendant within a few months
after marriage reflected disagree
able temper towards her husband, al
leges the plaintiff, who affirms that
she repeatedly threatened him with
knife, chair, scissors or whatever
seemed handy.
The complaint continues that the
defendant further threatened to take
the PLAINTIFFS life, and that he became
so miserable that he could not live
with her.
In the allegations set forth Thomas
alleges that the wife came after him
one day with butcher knife declar-
ing that she would take his life. On
another occasion she struck him over
the head with q little table belonging
to one of the children.
Again the plaintiff alleges that the
defendant tried to gouge his eyes out
with pair of scissors, and that for
some time just prior to the filing of
the suit she lay awake nights trying
to get an opportunity to kill him,
which he averted by sleeping out.

ASKS COURT TO FORECLOSE
MORTGAGE MADE IN 1920.

Petition asking foreclosure on a
certain mortgage was on Wednesday
filed in the district court OF the
second judicial district by George V.
Curtis against R. H. Ewes and Jennie
V. Ewes.
From the complaint it appears that
in October, 1920, the defendants de-
livered to the plaintiff mortgage
amounting to $500 in lieu of note they
had recently delivered but that no
payments have ever been made.
The plaintiff seeks judgment for
the amount of the note, together with
interest accrued at eight per cent,
and further asks that he be awarded
attorneys fees to the amount of H5.

TOWNSHIPS TO
Be SURVEYED HERE

Four and one-half townships of
government land are TO be surveyed,
the work 10 start in the next day or
two, the land being located in the
vicinity of SchellboIrne pass. F.. c..
L. yoigt, surveyor for the United
States land office, arrived in Ely Fri
day for the purpose and will leave
for the place today or tomorrow with
two truckloads of supplies and sew
eral teams. The purchase of supplies
is large, furnished mostly by the
Goodman-Tidball Company.
A stan of seven men has been made
up and they are coming from various
places, from which they have been
detached for this work. One assist
ant for Mr.. Voigt is from Salt Lake,
one from Winnemucca and three
from Reno.
The civil engineer did not know
upoff which side of the Schell Creek
range the land lies. but said it was
neal the II. l.. Anderson place. The
town of Schellbourne lies in one of
the townships to be surveyed.
He did not know the occasion for
the survey other than that there had
been some homestead filings IL that
vicinity. Whether these were for
ranches under the $50 acre acts or
for grazing homestead of SO acres
he could not tell.
Several sheep outfits range in that
region, among the permanent ones
being James Doutre, Albert Rosen-
lund, Roundy brothers and Gus Sell
las. Joe Oleachea, who is out of the
business for the time, is said to have
plans Of ~reenterinS in the future. 1t
IS probable ina some one or more Of
these having such rights may have
applied for sections therein.
