PROMOTER FILES
ON POWER SITES
COL. A. A. WHITE OBTAINS SEVEN
MORE LOCATIONS IN NORTH
FORK COUNTRY
Whate Creek, Bowman Lake, Logging
Lake, Quartz Lake, Logging Creek
and Coal Creek Among Proposed
Sites Picked Near Columbia Falls.

Frank Higgins, noted guide and
trailblazer, and Harry Howell have
returned to their homes in Columbia
Falls after 8 days spent in the North
Fork country in the interests of the
development plans of Colonel A. A.
White, we'll known capitalist and pro-
moter, who has been there for some
time securing the best water power
locations on the Flathead river.
On the trip Mr.. Higgins ade seven
additional filings and these, with four
in the vicinity of Columbia Falls pre-
viously made by Colonel White, are
declared to be the most desirable To-
cations for dam sites in the entire
territory between that place and the
Canadian line. Plans of Colonel
White to obtain all the best locations
in this section are now complete, he
has announced.
One of the filings made by Mr..
Higgins is on the North Fork river,
above Canyon creek and near the
mouth of the Camas. The others are
on Whale creek, Bowman lake, Log
ging lake, Quartz lake, Logging
creek and Coal creek.

The execution did not at once abb
solutely demoralize and disorganize
the lawless element-they were in
clined to resent and avenge Ives
death. / can never forget how things
looked, and I recall many incidents
that occurred in the little town of
Nevada that night after Ives was exc
cuted. It was after dark when he
was hung. The people were standing
out in the street and in the cold
talking about the tragic event. They
were nearly all armed. The situa-
tion looked gloomy Hard things
we're said; threats were made. 1t
looked as if spark might create an
explosion.
One incident that occurred to me
deserves mention, think, in the his
tory of that day. / was standing on
the street talking to someone, when
heard a man who was standing in
the middle of the street, say, with
hideous oath, sLet's take him back
of the house and kill him" This,
of course, attracted my attention and
excited my curiosity to know who was
to be the victim of this mans wrath.
There we're three men in knot
whence came the dreadful threat.
Immediately one of the three said,
"Yonder he stands now" One of
them said, 'I will call him. and at
once he called Colonel Sanders.
Sanders Close Call
In going to the men, Colonel San
ders had to pass near where I stood.
at once went to meet him. / told
him what I had heard and advised
him not to go behind the houses with
the men. He said, IT guess they
won't kill me- He insisted upon go
ing with them, then I asked him if
he was armed. He said he was. l

Alleged Burglar Quits Fast

After seven days of raving, during
which time he refused all food, Frank
Sherry, held at Chinook on bur-
glary charge, quieted down in his cell
in the Blaine county jail and accept
ed nourishment in the form of glass
of milk. He is apparently weak from
his fast. 1t is thought that Sherry
was feigning insanity in the hope of
getting an opportunity to escape, but
could not hold out longer.

ANNUAL REPORT OF
GOPHER STATE FAIR
Clean Profit $s2.5ots7 Was Made
On 1922 Exposition Declares :
Secretary Garfield
Especial to the Free Press

st. Paul, January 2.-Tne Mime
sofa State Fair made a profit of
$S2 ,501.97 on the 1922 fair, accord
ing to the report of Thomas H. Can
field. secretary general manager,
filed with Governor J. A. o. Preus
at the capitol today.
The total receipts of the fair from
all sources for the year were $685.
1908. The total disbursements for
the year were 546,302.29, which
$103, 41S.04. This is $12,142.76 less
than was on hand at the close of the
last fiscal year.
Land, buildings and personal pro-
perty of the fair are valued at ST.
SCI, 543.38, an increase in valuation
of $75,93S.57 over that of 1921. The
Increase is due to the re-investment
of profits in permanent improve
ments, and additions to the fair
grounds plant a.
Cash Receipts From Tickets
Cash receipts from ticket sales at
outside gates, grandstand and horse
show were $292.559.5O, a decrease of
$19,259.50 from 1921. The attendance
at the outside gates was 93,444,. a
decrease of 37.461 under that of the
preceding year. The attendance in
the grandstand showed an increase
of 4.703 over the previous year, the
total being 1926.
A new record for exhibitors was
made, 4,720 participating, which was
314 more than a year ago. This in
crease was partly accounted for by
the greater number of boys and
girls who participated in the con
tests in the new Boys and Girls
Club Work building. more than 500
children being present.
But for the excessive heat the
early part of the fair, especially
Labor day. the attendance record of
1921 would have been exceeded, Mr..
Garfield pointed out. Despite the
adverse weather and other condi-
tons that initiated against its sue
cess, the fair shows a greater PROFIT

ing its title of The Worlds Great

STATE BUREAU FOR
BLIND IS PLANNED
New Legislation For Same
Is Being Suggested
REPORT TO PREUS
Special Commission Named BY
Minnesota Executive Submits
Recommendations

st. Paul, January 2.--Establish
ment of state bureau for the blind,
under direct supervision of the
State Board of Control. and legisla-
ton which would provide for the
care and relief of INDECENT blind of
the state, are among the recon-
mendations made to Governor J, a.
o. Preus' In a report of the Cover
nor's Commission tor the Blind.
The commission was appointed by
Governor Preus to make a study OF
the needs of the blind of the state
and TO recommend any necessary
legislation which would tend to help
these persons. The commission was
also authorized to make a census of
the blind persons in the state.
The commission CO. operated with
the state board Of health and the
board of control and funetioned un
der direction of Mrs. Blanch l.. La
Due, chairman and member of the
board of control.
There is an agency for the blind,
which functions through the state
school for the blind, but with a neg
ligible amount OF legislative APP
preparation at its command, the
agency cannot fully function, and
as a consequence the commission in
its study Of the situation came to
the conclusion that bureau should
be established under direction of
the state board of control.
All activities OF the state agency
would automatically be transferred
to the bureau under the provisions
of the legislature proposed, the re-
port reads.
Relief For Needy Blind
The commission also recommends
the legislation be passed which
would enable the state to care for
and give relief to the needy blind
of the state who meet certain re-
quirements outlined by the COM
mission. This financial relief, how
ever, would not exceed the maxi
mum Of $50 the month to any one
person, and would be given to those
blind who have resided in athis state
prior to January /, 1920.
The bill, as proposed would give
relief under the following condi-
tons:
"To needy blind VINO are citizens
of the United States at the time of
the application for such care and re-
lief; those who have become blind
Willie iCSdl IGSluCuIo VI J1lS oIdlC
or were either legal residents of this
state prior to January /, 1920, and
thereafter, or have
been legal residents of this state for
a period of FIVE years Immediately
preceding the date of such applica-
ton; those unable by an occupation
or through lawful income of any
kind to provide themselves with the
necessaries Of life; those without
such relatives able to support them,
and those who unless relieved by
this relief would become public
charge on the county or city"
Any blind person soliciting aims,
under the proposed legislation.
would be disqualified to receive this
state aid, the report reeds. The bill
also provides that any blind persons
the maximum paid to that
couple would be $50 the month.

CEREAL CHEMISTS
AT SHORT COURSE
All Sections United States and Can
ada Attend Special instruction
at State Agricultural Farm


st. Paul.. January 2.-Just as Min
nesota FIVE decades ago roved to- the
world that her fresh black, wheat
lands produced grade OF hard
spring wheat that was unequalled,
so today this state is again taking
the lead in a new phase of cereal in
dustry. that of chemical science ap-
piled to wheat for milling into -four
and baking into bread.
Cereal chemists from all parts Of
the United States and Canada, here
attending the short course for cereal
chemists, at the University of Min
nesota farm this week, will be given
the results of advanced experiment
al and practical work in cereal
chemistry as yet unknown to the
milling and baking world outside the
University and those business con-
Germs which have worked with the
university experts
Many of the lectures for the
course have not yet been published
even in the technical papers, accord
ing to Prof. r. A. Gortner, chief OF
the division of agricultural biochem-
istry. '.s
1t is planned to place the work or
the cereal chemist in the group. Of
professions, and serious eonsidera
tion is being given at the College of
Agriculture to require students who
have completed their studies TO
serve a year of "internship" in mill
or commercial bakery, before they
are recommended for permanent
employment, according TO DR.. Gorr-
ner.
About Wheat Milling
Wheat for milling, it was explain
ed, is being bought today on the ba-
sis of it's protein content, and not
by any weight method as in years
gone by. Purchasing millers may pa
certain arbitrary rice tase6 on an
assumed protein content, with an
agreement for a premium w1ep the
protein is more than that stipulated,
and a rebate from the seller when
the wheat is below the agreed pro-
tein, according to agricultural Off
Gals.
AS a result of the newly accepted
practice, there has been a great de-
mand for cereal chemists, and vir-
tually every one of the men taking
advanced work in cereal chemistry
at the University of Minnesota has
had tempting offers to leave the
school and begin work, but all have
refused to continue their studies, &C
cording to DR.. Gortner. Three out
standing results come from the ad- 4.
vance in the science of cereal chem
istry, university men pointed out.
They are:
That the results show the farmer
which wheats to plant to get the
best price.
That they show the Miller what
wheats to buy and how to grade his
products manufactured from the
different wheats. - il
That they show the baker what
wheats to use in -four to produce the
superior loaf of bread" Al
