Released after Ransom Had Been Paid.
As Told to International News Service
OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. l
G.N.S0.-The best way to de-
scribe how I felt and must have
looked upon my return home to-
day after my kidnap captivity is
to tell you that the Federal man
stationed at the door of my
home this morning didn't recog-
nize me and refused to let me in.
I don't blame him for not
knowing me, as I was looking
pretty haggard and seedy, /
guess.
Travelled IA Hours
It was a terrible experience
and one I would not want to go
through again. I was held only
nine days but it seemed to me
to have been a month. I COM
pletely lost track Of time. It
seemed to me that there was no
hope Of escape or release. At
times I felt my captorS might
grow as tired as I was Of wait
ing and do away with the evil
dence by killing me.
I do not know whether or not
I could identify them. When
they first burst into my home
Saturday night a week ago while
my wife and I were playing
bridge with Mr.. and Mrs. jar
rett, they stood in the shadows.
After they put Walter Jarrett,
whom they had seized with me,
out of the car, they blindfolded
and gagged me with tape. I do
not know where I was taken,
but we drove without stopping
for IA hours on the way to the
hideout and about IL hours on
the way back.
I could tell by the motion Of
the car that the trip was almost
entirely over dirt roads.
Air Grew Colder
It seemed colder where we
went.
Last Wednesday, when I wrote
a letter home at the kidnapers'
order, telling my family that my
life was in danger and requesting
a ransom payment, I got a peep
at the place where I was being
held. It looked like three-room
backwoods shanty. The two men
who seized me stayed with me al
most constantly, but I got the
| impression there were other
guards and that the men holding
me were working for parties
higher up.
My guards seldom talked, if to
prevent me from recognizing their
voices later, 1 don't know. They
treated me nicely enough, but
made it quite clear that they
would not hesitate to kill me if
any "double-crossing" put them in
danger.
During our trip to the hideout
was jammed on the floor Of a
light model sedan. I could see
enough through that first blind
fold to tell that we drove all Satur-
day night and until Sunday after
noon, judge until about 2 p. m.
Shooting Hinted
I was told:
eve don't want to make this
hard on you, but lie still, be-
cause there'u be shooting if
we're stopped"
I was given a bottle of soda dur
ing the trip. At the shack I was
given two cigars. They were not
my brand and were terrible. My
guards loaned me pajamas. They
also read me headlines from Kan
sas City, Tulsa and Oklahoma
City newspapers about the kid
naping.
At last, after what seemed an
eternity, I was told I probably
would be ransomed Sunday. Then
they allowed me to shave myself,
partly removing my bandage for
the second time, and I obtained
another peep at the shack.

NeU Industrial Code
Worries Contractors

Contractors operating under
both the Virginia State govern

are wondering what effect the
code of the National Industrial
Relief Administration will have
on them.
In many cases the contractors
figured their contracts on cheap
labor and claim today they
would lose considerable if they
came under the code. However,
others feel the various govern
ments would make adjustments
in their contracts to care for
increased salaries and shorter

Hay FeUer Army
Moving to Arrowhead.

Americas hay fever army is again
moving toward the Arrowhead country
Starting in this week, hundreds OF
hay feverites from all sections of
America began arriving in this region
for relief during the severe pollen
season in August and the first part of
September. Most of the visitors spend
from six to eight weeks in the Arrow
head country.
Extreme hot weather in recent weeks
causing unusually dry conditions every
where, brought many of the hay fever
sufferers here a little earlier than in
other years and present indications are
that there will be a record number in
the Lake Superior area within the next
two weeks.
Numbers of the visitors have an
nounced plans to organize about the
middle of the month for a series OF
social events, picnic and dancing
parties during their stay in Duluth and
nearby resorts.
Many of our summer residents are
sufferers with hay fever and many
arrived early in the summer to get
away from their annual visitation of
the ailment.
There is almost total absence of
hay fever in this section of the ATrow-
head country and the resort literature
issued, all feature the absence of hay
fever.

then become an obligation of the state.
In the event of those municipalities
who will not receive sufficient funds to
carry on their business, then I re-
peat, the state has an obligation to
step in and enact relief legislation.
AT the last session of the state
legislature we received wonderful as
siStance, for the most part, from
representatives and senator of the
range, enabling us to enact relief
measures, wherein we were enabled to
extend relief to the amount of
81 100000. Then also there is the r.
F. c. funds available and your ap-
plication for such funds, backed by my
entire support, should give you ade-
quate money to work on.
Il believe, though I cannot state as
fact, that under the new Federal
measure, if the mining companies fail
to pay their taxes, then very sub
Stantial amount of relief may be
secured. OF course, the only people
who would secure this would be those
in need. In other words, proper relief
may be secured to take care of all
those in distress, though, of course,
there will be no assurance that monies
may be secured to take care of regular
expenditures.
Nov, as to steps to be taken by
the state to protect your interests,
can give no definite form of encourage
ment as to the exact plan, excepting
to say that at different times this
matter has been discussed by the at
torney general and myself, without
having definitely decided what course
to pursue, but our decision will be made
in the very near future.
ALSO as to the reference of Rep
resentative Wangenstien speaking of
what could be done as to preventing
the shipment of ore, before we can
make an executive order we will have
to have further conference, and what
ever action we take will have to be
based on some legal principle.
Il think this about covers what
have to say to you. I want to thank
all of you, and am very well pleased
to have such concurrence of opinions
today. 1 believe with this that I cam
eliminate certain differences as to di-
vided sentiment, and dispel, rumors
that your people are divided. I have
made assurances that will do all
can to help you, and that the state of
Minnesota so far as can speak alone,
will not hesitate to act draStically.
I repeat, the state of Minnesota, speak
ing so far as personally am concerned,
will not hesitate to take action no
matter how drastic it may be, to see
that your interests and desires are
fairly protected"

1t is hoped that the compro-
mise arrived at between the
County Board and the Taxpay-
er's League on the County En-
gineer situation and row will
be productive of results and put
an end to the chickering's be-
tween members of the board.
A get-together to thrash out the
differences will iron out the
fight which has been waged on
whether or not this or that is
right. We have one sugges-
ton to make. Let's redistrict
the county to conform to the
state law with five districts the
same as other counties in the
state have. Two districts in
Duluth and three on the ranges
according to the territory to be
administered.

COMMUNICATED

Ely, Minnesota, July "a, 1888.
Editor Ely Miner
Dear Sir:
I notice items in your paper about
vandalism at the golf course and along
the city water line. There are other
cases of this kind. When old people
try to beat the depression by hard
work, instead of going on the pauper
unemployed relief list as many big,
young and strong huskies do, it is
pretty hard to have their fences broken
down, fruit trees ruined, and garden
stuff stolen or destroyed by hoodlumS
too lazy to raise their own.
There are in this town probably not
more than score of this kind who
think it fun to out-smart the police
and well behaved people. Good long
terms at the county farm, where they
would have to work for their board and
clothes, might do lot of good for the
general public. Then there are few
of the younger set who have been led
to believe that nobody can prosecute
them as long as they are under eighteen
years of age.
A good talking to their parents and
themselves might do a lot to show
them the error of their ways. If il
does not, then there are other legiti-
mate ways of dealing with them.
The worse menace to the welfare
of this town is a group OF smart
politicians who seem to think it to
their own interests to encourage law
lessness and disorder and give their
home town a worse reputation than il
deserves. In the last few years they
have succeeded in getting us SO deep
in the hole that it will take many
years of conservative business manage
ment to get us on the same business
like footing that we were on only a
few short years ago. And, it will cost
the taxpayers lot of money that can
only be raised by the sweat on the
brow of those who work the hardest
for what they get.
JOHN SCHAEFER.

The solution of mankind's present
and future problems depends upon the
kind of training that we give the
children, and not alone the kind of
school buildings we give them.
It is in the academic side that we
develop liberal education, that we ex-
emplify culture, and that we create that
Unsuitable desire that leads on to the
fulfillment of cherished dreams.
When We build purely material
things, we build for day; but that
which comes from the enjoyment of
learning and the higher things of life,
we carry in our minds until the end of
our allotted time.
Let us, therefore, make our children
disconnected with poor health, and
show them how to have better health.
Let us make them dissatisfied with a
little knowledge and encourage them
to seek greater knowledge.
Let us impress upon them the evils
of idleneSS, and point the way to useful
activity.
Let us teach them, not alone to read
and to write, but above all, to be able
constructiVely TO THINK.
Let us urge them to save, and to
work, and to take their places as
decent and honest members of society.
Create by your own examples of thrift
desire for efficiency, and the delight
of constructive accomplishment, but for
their sake-and for your own financial
Welfare-do not adopt the futile policy
of trying to make rational men and
women out of your children by sleeping
yourselves and your communities in
generations and generations of debt,
nor by creating false conceptions Of
true and permanent values.
The greatest castles that we build are
not made of bricks alone, but they are
in our hearts and our minds and our
anticipationS. Most of our financial
and mental distress comes from lack
of understanding of these real values.
In our own examples, but not by our
extraVaganceS, let us teach them.

Banana of Commerce

The ripening fruit of the banana
hangs on the plant, which Is not
tree, in a manner exactly opposite to
that In which they are suspended In

turn upward away from the ground.
OF course it makes no difference where
they are grown. The banana is a gi-
gantic herbaceous plant belonging to
the genus Musa (family Musaceae).
This genus contains about 80 species,
all tropical. One species is the Manila

There's been a lot of hollering and
threatened investigation about the
training methods of the u. s. Davis
cup team and the failure of the team
in the recent inter-zone matches with
the English. The popular opinion was
that the U. S. team would take Eng
land and then take the French for
the cup honors. That the American
team was over-rated is sure, for the
English beat them and then defeated
France, trick that no team including
our own has been able to turn for a
matter of six years. Why raise a
stink about our defeat? The Eng
hsh were just bit too good and that's
the reason they won.
The French have held the Davis
Cup tennis championship for six
years but it now goes to England
after an absence of 81 years, since
1912. The brand of tennis as dis
played by the English team against
U. S. and France makes things look
a bit tough for anyone who at
tempts to win the cup next season.

believe that reference was
made to this city. AS no vote
has been taken on the subject,
it is hard to conceive how any
one could make such state
ment.
1t is our candid opinion that
political claptrap for personal
ends should have no place in
such a precarious situation.
The mining industry asked for
relief and it was not granted.
The next step in such a stu
alton is the courts. If this high
tribunal finds that the industry
is entitled to relief, or if the
court finds that the industry
is not entitled to relief, the
range towns should be tickled
pink to get the controversy
settled and abide by the court
orders.

a news item sent out by the

were of the opinion it had
travelled a long way and its
appearance resembled a deer
seen in the Stoney River dis
