ed on Plum Lake, there is lot of

CONSTRUCTION OF NEW PLANT

All major decisions covering the
construction of the Ford Motor Com
pany's plant to be erected along the
Mississippi river between Minneapol-
is and ST. Paul have been made and
details just announced here give the
first information regarding the mag
nitude of the new Ford project.
Hydro-electric plant, steam plant
and manufacturing and assembly
plant constitute the three important
buildings with interest centering
chiefly about the hydro-electric de-
velopment since it represents the
company's most extensive undertake
ing of this kind.
The dam where the power will be
developed is STA feet long and was
completed by the government in 1917
When the Ford engineers started work
it was discovered that modification
of the power house substructure,
built by the government was neces-
sary in order to take advantage of
improvements since made in water
wheel design More than 5000 cubic
and the changes are now nearly COM
pleted. They will permit installation
of modern turbines and besides inn
proving flow conditions will effect
the highest efficiency
The power house will be $50 feet
long by "a feet wide and 48 feet above
the foundation. Four water wheels of
$500 horsepower will, be installed,
which, in conjunction with four verti-
cal generators, will under normal con
ditions produce approximately $4,000
horse power
Within short distance of the hydro
electric plant, and on the river bank,
it also is planned to erect a steam
power house to supplement the water
power in case of emergency.
The immense manufacturing and as
sembly plant Will be erected on an i'm
posing site on the bluff 100 feet above
the water level 1t will front on the
Mississippi River Boulevard and will
be faced with stone on three sides
and SO designed as to present most
attractive appearances
The building will be one-story high,
1,720 feet long and 500 feet wide and
will have more than 100000 square
feet or % acres of floor space,
Railroad tracks will, of course, en-
ter the building, but transportation
feature will be two tunnels leading
underneath the factory from river
dock to elevators which will carry
| freight directly into the building
This anticipates new era of river
transportation on the Mississippi
Special attention will be given to
| landscaping and general Improvement
of the grounds in the company's 49,
acre tract so that all will blend har
moniously with the surrounding park
way development.

CONGREGATIONAL cHuRcH

With all the rumpus between high
politicians going on about the enforce
ment of the dry laws, perhaps it will
be satisfying to get back to our own
thoughts and ethics in respect to pro-
hibition. So we plan a sermon on this
topic for next Sunday morning.
We shall be glad to welcome chill
dren to the Sunday School at ten, and
everybody who feels the need of wor-
ship to the Worship hour at eleven
o'clock.

publishing articles, written by men
understanding the railroad business,
in which full facts are given.
To confuse and camouflage the is
sue, articles by professional writers
and others with no understanding or
knowledge of the railroad business,
are given full and complete publicity.
An article Of this character, entitl-
ed The Future of the Railroads ap-
peared this summer in the Saturday
Evening Post, written by Isaaa F. Mar
cosson. Mr.. Marcosson is an excel
lent professional writer. Writing is
his profession He writes and has
written on many subjects. An article
by the late Robert Louis Stevenson,
great writer that he was, on the rail-
road situation, would be of not more
practicle value than such articles as
above described
Can a man master the railroad bust
ness, great subject that it is, and
scatter his time and thought or fol-
low another profession? Common
sense says no, The writer of this can
positively say no, based upon thirty
years of experience in the railroad
business.
Make Railroads Squeeze
Water from Inflated Stocks
The same responsibility as upon
national bank directors, officers and
stockholders, should be upon railroad
directors, officers and stockholders
for the correct use of railroad funds.
Especially if they are to continue to
receive, as semi-public institutions,
guaranteed returns through freight
and passenger rates under the Esch-
Cummins Act at the expense of the
public at large, 1913 per cent of our
population, the producers and consum
ers
The water should be squeezed out
of both capital railroad stock and
bonds or funded debt. just as national
banks are required to write bad as
sets off their books. There can be
no halfway course.
Railroads privately owned are not
entitled to be treated, under the Esch
Cummins or any other Act, with the
aid of Federal injunction, to special
protection through grossly excessive
rates at the expense of the public
at large, the producers and consum-
ers, 1913 per cent Of our population.
The Esch-Cummins Act should be
promptly repealed disposing of its
questionable status and the railroads
left to the jurisdiction of the States,
in which incorporated and built, I'M
hampered by Federal injunction. Mr..
Coolidge owes it to the public at
large, the producers and consumers,
99.3 per cent of our population, to
insist that the Forthcoming Congress
repeal it.

The remainder. clad in nimsF ball

Man Who Vanished During In

OF Bastrop.
BY B. v. sTURDIvANT,

.~.BASTROP, Lay Jan. 29.-Har-
old Teegerstrona ms been found.
Today the missing State witness
in the investigation of the hooded
mob. murders of Morehouse par
ish, for whom a countrywide
search has been conducted, ap-
peared on the streets of Bastrop
as nonchalantly as though moth
ing had happened.
Declines to Discuss Case.
No furry of excitement marked
his coming. He drove into town
and greeted his friends as though
nothing out of the ordinary had
happened. They asked no ques-
tons. other than how he had been
getting along. After spending a
short time in Bastrop he left to
call on his father and brother, who
have felt no worry over his wei
fare"
When asked where he came from.
Teegerstrom refused to answer, and
declared he would not be interviewed
concerning his actions. Valuable
evidence which, it is said, the de-
Tense refused to expose during the
lone side hearing" will remain a
secret until the grand jury convenes.
He Is then expected to testify in
favor of J. T. Jeff Burnett, now
facing a murder charge in connec-
ton with the deaths Of Watt Daniel
and Thomas Richards. His story is
expected to strengthen Burnett's
alibi, which the State declares has
been completely shattered.
Friends Expect Arrest.
Frinds Of the star witness mo-
mentarily expec this arrest as q re-
suit of the warrant issued for him
during the open hearing, as a ma
terial witness" They declare he
will make bond Immediately and
then return to his duties at the
Southern Carbon Company plant.
The State announced at the hear
ing that no charges held against
Teegerstrom, but that his testimony
was valued highly. He kept the
books which are said to prove that
Burnett was at work on the night
Of the kidnapping and double MUIR
der.
Although a thorough search was
made for him. he is said to have
been In this vicinity during the en-
tire hearing. Few persons in this
vicinity believed that he had met
with a fate similar to that Of DAN
lei and Richards.
The search for him extended to
Pennsylvania and New York. This
also is considered Il huge joke by
