Thief Leaves as
JuiLer Gets Coal

Joe Chmielewski who was being
held at the village Jail in Pine City
made his escape last Saturday eve
ming. Apparently very amiable
prisoner, Chmielewski, took advan-
tage of momentary lack of vigilance
on the part of Marshall Biederman,
who left the door of the Jail unlocked
while he went to get coal in from
a nearby shed. When the marshall
returned. his prisoner was gone. In
vestigation showed that the escaping
man had gone west from the Jail and
according to the marshall there was
considerable distance between the
tracks left in the fresh snow
Chmielewski was held, following
his arrest for stealing near Sturgeon
Lake, on charge of petty larceny.
His case had been given a thorough
investigation and he had been ad-
judged feeble minded by the probate
court and was awaiting action by the
state board of control Up to the
present time no trace of him~has been
found

TWO TRAINS
DISCONTINUED
Northern Pacific r. r. Re-
moves the Afternoon
Passenger Train.
Last Run Between Duluth
and Minneapolis is
on Saturday.

The two afternoon passenger trains
on the Northern Pacific railroad
known as Nos. SO and 81, running be-
tween Duluth and Minneapolis and
traverSing Pine county, will be taken
off Sunday, their last run being Sat
urday afternoon. A hearing on the
request to eliminate these trains was
held by the Interstate Commission and
the request was evidently granted due
to lack of passenger traffic caused
by the extensive use of the automobile
and truck
No. SO left Duluth daily at 300 p.
m. and the Pine county stops were at
Willow River. 1905; Finlayson, 1920;
Hinckley. 4:42; and Pine City, 500.
1t arrived at Minneapolis 1880 p. m.
No. 81 left Minneapolis daily at
1870 p. m. and the Pine county stops
were at Pine City, 3:4S; Hinckley.
4:0S; Finlayson, ABA; and Willow
River, 4:4S. 1t arrived at Duluth ZOO
p. m
These trains were known about two
years ago as limited trains, but when
the Great Northern and the 500 Line
at that time each took off two trains
between Duluth and the Twin Cities
and the Great Northern afternoon
trains cut down their running time
and became fast trains with stops at
only Sandstone and Cambridge, the
n. p. Nos. SO and 81 became more
localized with 20 stops between the
terminals.
After Saturday the Northern Pacific
railway will have but four trains run
ming between Duluth and Mime
apolis. the same as the 500 Line and
the Great Northern. They are two
night trains and two day trains.
The Northern Pacific railroad was
recently granted a permit by the Min
neseta Railroad and Warehouse Com
mission to run freight trucks between
Duluth and Minneapolis on the pave
ment-Highway No. 1. The pavement
practically parallels their railroad.

FUMES KILL
A PINE CITY FARMER

Fumes from the exhaust in a closed
garage claimed another victim when
the life of ]. l. Wells, 67-year-old
farmer living in Chengwatana, was
snuffed out
Mr.. Wells had gone into the ga
rage where he started his truck pre-
paratory to driving to town and let
the motor run for several minutes
before he noticed that the fumes were
getting very bad. He shut off the
motor and went into the house saying
that the gas was pretty strong. He
soon re-entered the garage and when
he did not come out an investigation
found him slumped over the steering
wheel dead.
A Pine City doctor was called and
efforts at resuscitation failed to re-
vive him. 1t is thought that the
closed cab contained enough of the

public talks he has stressed the need Of
cited the evils of sectional feeling.
Some observers see in these pro-
nouncements a studied effort on the
part of President Hoover to offset
criticism. They also say il is an at
tempt to direct into new and more
happy channels Of thought the grow
ing resentment of Western states
against certain Administration public
land policies. Wilbur is closer to the
President than any other Cabinet
member. their friendship dating back
to college days. The oil conservation
policy of Mr.. Hoover has brought re-
bellion beyond party lines in the
states where public lands are source
of state revenue and the matter has
reached issue" proportions. 1t is re-
ported that the President frowned on
the outspoken policy Of the Attorney
General which failed to provide Mr..

matter.

By " CDaley

Washington, February s. Tired of
playing second-fiddle to the Senate in
the grab for publicity, the House of
Representatives bids fair to capture
page one attention of the reading pu-
bile. The Senate has been thriving
on confusion but the House has now
countered with hearings on prohibit
ton which will undoubtedly make the
tariff and Senatorial souabbles a BUSH
league matter. The sole purpose of
the meeting is to provoke nationwide
discussion of the fundamentals of the
wet and dry issue. At the same
time the Congress continues to en-
act laws to tighten UP enforcement
and transfer the work to the Depart
ment of Justice. There may be more
nothing more calculated to provide
oratorical fireworks and eventually
political capital. Unkind critics have
said that if the house forces the Sen
ate into the inside pages of the daily
papers and consequently into small
headlines that the chances of expedit-
ing actual law-making would be i'm
proved. The theory has been proven
publicity about Senators
and more attention is given to real
business.
There Is considerable speculation
here as to the real purpose of Secre-
tary of the Interior wiIbur's trip

PRODUCTION
IS INCREASED
Askov Creamery Made 49,
COS Pounds of Butter
In 1929.
Annual Meeting Sets Aside
$1,000 Into Building
Fund.

The Askov Creamery association
has completed another successful year
and year that has upheld the con-
tinued annual increase in production.
Its annual meeting was held at the
ID. B. s. hall in Askov Tuesday after
noon with approximately 100 in at
tendance. Among other business
cided to set aside $1,000 from the
sinking fund. into building fund
Comparing the production in pounds
OF butter made the past year with
the amount made in 1928, 459,605
pounds shows a very nice increase
over 451, 319 pounds. The unfortunate
slump in the price of butterfat due
to the surplus of 30 million pounds,
of course, caused the total of S1S4,444.-
49 to be somewhat lower than $751;
1861 paid patrons in 1928 and like
wise caused the average price of 1886
cents to fall below that of the previous
year which amounted to 52.S4 cents.
Statistics for the year just closed
shows that the average test was $50
percent while the overrun was S9,702
pounds or 24.25 per cent. Since the
Land o. Lakes creamery organization
requires a score of $50, the total of
459,605 pounds Of butter made speaks
well for the quality of the product
turned out when it is seen that OLAF
per cent was Land O. Lakes. This
includes all second and third grade
cream churned into butter. The per-
centage of Land o. Lakes of first
grade cream churned is 92.S5 per cent.
The total amount received for butter
and cream by the institution was
1897 ,2O0.43 while the patrons re-
ceived by check S169,47S.66.
Election of officers for the coming
ing again chosen to head the associa-
tion as president; A. p. Jensen, vice
president; Mogens Tuxen, secretary:
A. Gravesen, treasurer; Adolph Jen-
sen, Hans Clausen and N. p. Nede-
gard, directors. All of the officers
were reelected except the two last
named directors who were chosen to
take the places on the board of di-
rectOrs made vacant by the resigna-
tion of P. Simonsgaar and Fred Han
sen. Christ Larsen and S. Chr. Dixen
were again chosen as revisers.
After the election of officers de-
licious lunch was served by Han
sens Cafe in the dining room of the
hall. Following the lunch those pres
ent again assembled in the main hall
and listened to an interesting talk by
Art Rentz. fieldman for the Land o.
Lakes creameries organization. Mr..
Rentz told of the growth and manage
ment of that organization and offered
figures to show that the 1929 business
amounted to over S50.O00.000 The
net worth of the organization is esti-
mated at S1,000.000.
1t was decided at the meeting to
send two delegates to the annual
meeting of the Land O. Lakes Cream
cry Incorporation which will take
place some time in March at its plant
in Minneapolis.
