N VOLUME 10. NUMBER 228. STATE SENATE T0 BACK EBERHART Resolution for Joint Committe on Public Domain Recalled from The House, WOMAN’S SUFFRAGE TUESDAY Is a Special Order of Business in Up- per Body.—Friends Believe It Will Pass. FRAMING REAPPORTIONMENT "Beltrami and Koochiching are Cou- pled With One Senator and Two Representatives. By United Press. St. Paul, Minn., Jan. 23—Outside of the formal election of Sen. Knute Nelson for a fourth term in the Uni- ted States senate, very few actual re- sults were accomplished in the Min- nesota legislature yesterday. Following the election of Senator Nelson a resolution was adopted, re- questing the senator to address the Joint body at 11 o’clock Feb. 3, the day following his seventietu virthday. Everything moved along smoothly in the senate. In addition to the introduction of twenty-five bills, the senators showed that they intend to back up the recommendations of Governor Eberhart by recaling from the house Sen. John Moonan’s reso- lution calling for a joint committee to prepare legislation to be submitted, which” will have for its object the creation of departments of agricul- ture and public domain. The resolu- tion passed the senate last week, but there seemed to be no disposition on the part of the house to take im- mediate accion. It is believed that; Senator Moonan will introduce a new resolution calling for a senate com- mitte to shape the necessary bills. Suffrage Up Tuesday. Sen. Ole Sageng’s womans’ suffrage bill was made a special order of busi- ness for Tuesday morning in the senate. The bill passed the election committee unanimously, and it is be- lieved will the pass the senate, at least, as it came within two votes of passing two years ago. Were it not for a tilt between H. H. Dunn, Albert Lea, speaker two years ago, and W. I. Nolan, Minnea- polis, chairman of the rules commit- tee of the house, over the Lundeen resolution for a committe on com- mittees, the sessions would have been -devoid of excitement. Representative Dunn in speaking for the resolution, took issue with the opponents of the same, who declared that it was not a progressive idea to take the committe appointment pow- er from the speaker. The trouble arose when Mr. Dunn insinuated that Mr. Nolan was preaching temperance and virtue from behind a red nose and a shady past. Mr. nolan demanded a retraction for the alleged “insult”. Mr. Dunn explained that he intended his re- marks as general and not personal to Mr. Nolan who accepted the ex- planation, whereupon Speaker Rines declared the incident closed. The resolution was lost 70 to 41. If Rep. C. N. Bendixen, Morgan, is made chairman of the grain probe committee, as anticipated, because he is the author of the resolution adopt- ed in the house, there is every indica- tion that the investigation will be sweeping. It may reveal several startling features with reference to operations of boards of trade and the ‘grain inspection department. The committee will very likely be ap- pointed late today. . Among the important measures in- troduced in the senate is one-giving municipalities the right to operate ‘municipal slaughter houses. Sen. N. A. L’Herault, of. Minneapolis, is. the author. Minimum Wage Commission. Sen. J. P. Boyle, Eveleth, is father of a bill which proposes to create a minimum wage commission waich will have authority to appoint wage boards for various occupations to de- termine whether the scale is equi- table, and if found-unfair to prescribe a new scale. g A $10,000 bronze statute of Alex- ander Ramsey, first territorial gover- nor, will be erected on the capitol grounds, if a 'bill by Sen. Geo. P, ‘Wilgon; Minneapolis, becomes a law. ~ue most important vill offered in the house was by Representatives Kneeland, Holmberg and Conley: It proposes to have all county offictals jaitered before final adoption, ' 1 ke trami and Koochiching are coupled KEY PITTMAN.

Frame Reapportionment. Sub committees of the reappor- tionment committee of the house and senate are working on a tentative bill. It is sald that as at present made up, the Ninth district, includ- ing Beltraml and Polk countles, will have six Benators and fourteen rep- resentatives, an increase of two sena~ tors and one representative over the present apportionment. The bill in 1ts embyronic state, however, may not be recognized when it Is finally sub- mitted to the respective bodies, to say nothing of what will happen to it afer the committees get through with it and it has been amended and Bel- with two representatives and one sen- ator.

In Duluth, Mr. Cochran secured & con- tract’ to furnish all the piling for a large dock which is to be built by the Duluth, Mesabe and Northern, which is the Canadian Northern line into Duluth from - Virginia.

BANQUET AT $10 A PLATE. St. Paul Baseball Fans to Toast Bill Friel .-and Ray Meehan, By United Press. St. Paul, Minn., rence C. Hodgson, known. in the newspaper field as “Larry Ho,” will preside as 'mutmaster at the compli- mentary banquet to be tendered “Bill” Friel and Ray Méehan, mana- ger and secretary of the St. Paul base ball team, at the Ryan hotel, Saturday evening, February 1. The committee in charge, of which John B. McCormack is “umpire” has been working on some original stunts for the occasion. The fact that the banquet will cost $10 a plate is sufficient to indicate that it will- be one of the most. ela- borate of its kinu ever held. Admission will 'be by invitation only and not more than fifty guests are expected, all of whom: wiil be per- sonal friends of the two honor guests. SCOO Jan.. 23.—Law- THE CUB REPORTER READY FOR PEACE Turkish Grand Gouncil Decides to Ac- cept Proposals of Settlement With ’ the Balkan Allies. Constantinople, Jan. 23.—Turkey|- Yyesterday submitted to the wir of the powers. ‘The grand couneil of the Ot- toman empire decided in favor of ac- cepting the proposals of Europe for peace settlement between ‘Turkey and the Balkan allies.

The question submitted by the Turkish government to the grand coun:il was: “Shall the recommen- datfons contained in the powers’ note be accepted?” The government frankly confessed itself in favor of agreeing to the sug- gestion made by the powers and after 4 slight discussion, the assembly de- cided almost unanimously in an agreement with the view of the gov- ernment. COMMITTEE IS INSISTENT ‘Washington, Jan, 23.—An attempt to alter tne money trust committee’s decision to insist upon an examina- tion of Willlam Rockefeller, despite his physical condition, was defeated yesterday in the rather stormy execu- tive session of the committee. Against the wishes of Chairman Pujo, the committee reiterated its decision di- recting him and Counsel - Untermyer to make arrangements for Rockefel- ler's examination. i Caairman Piijo - -ainounced - after the executive session that ne would arrange with counsel for Rockefeller and endeavor to make an examina- tion as soon as the committee con- cludes its oral hearings. He said he probably would visit Rockefeller with Untermyer next week. Rockefeller is-now at Palm Beach, Florida. 3 The incident was re-opened by the appearance of Dr. Chappell, the per- sonal physician to Rockefeller, who verified his afiidavit setting forth that an examination of his patient might cause serious physical results. WILL STOP ALL GAMBLING Minneapolis, Jan. 23.—There are to be no gambling halls in Minneapo- lis. This is the ultimatum which the new chief of police, Oscar Martinson, issued Wednesday night. The order came as the result, it is said, of daily visits for the last few weeks to the chief’s office of gamblers who desired to know what his “policy” would be. Wednesday night Chief Martinson is- sued a statement in which he de- clared that Minneapolis would not be “wide open” and that mno_ roulette, faro, or other gambling games would be permitted.

RICH ORE BODY Walter J. Markham, Former Bemidji Man, One of Syndicate Controlling New Mesabe Mine, . I8 SAID TO RUN 65.21 PF;E CENT Virginia, Minn,, Jan. 23.—What s believed to be one of the most valu- able irod ore. finds .on the Mesaba Tange has been made by Virginia men one mile north of the city. ‘i1ue syndicate which has thé lease from the fee owners is composed of Harry Osterber, H. O. Johnson, Walter J. Markham and Benjamin F. Smith, all well-known Virginia men. They have turned over the property for operat- ing purposes to M. E. Richards and assoclates who will at once sink a shaft and operate the mine as am underground- proposition, The ore is of the highest grade on the Mesaba range and equal to the best obtainable anywhere. It runs 65.21 and there is little ore mined in any country that runs higher. The ore body lies on an average of sixty- five feet below the surface and the exploration shows it to be thirty feet thick. g The property has been explored twice before and abandoned as being valueless when had the drills gone fifteen feet further, the valuable de- posit would have been located. The work of sinking the shaft will com- mence at once and the mine will be a shipper in the 1913 season, More than 200,000 tons of ore have been blocked out and it is belleved the property contains 1,000,000 tons of mineral. The fee owners have leased to the explorers on a royalty of 30 cents and the latter have ar- ranged to have the property develop- ed on the basis of $1.35, leaving a net revenue of $1.05 a ton. Ore of this quality has-a market value of $5.25 a ton on the lower lake docks. ... LOST MONEY ON DANCE The basket ball ' dance that was given by the “Big Bemidg” basket ball team last night was' —a -failure financially. .

Schrosder Gives Detailed Statement Showing Amount Neo- essary to Keep Cattle Well, MINIMUM ‘18 $05. PER YRAR Whether Good or Poor Milkers, Each One in Herd Consumes Food and Labor to That Amount. CALVES CARE FOR OVERHEAD Amply Provide For Depreciation, In- surance, Care of Bull, Eto—Profit Is in Retail Sales. W. G. Schroeder, owner of the Al- - falfa Dairy farm, has had occasion to defend his statement that it costs $95 a year to keep a milk producing cow since it appeared in a recent issue of the Pioneer. Several farmers have taken him to task and said that his figures are too high. Mr. Schroeder says that his figures, which are for a cow which' is being kept for milk and not beef, are as follows: One ton of bran............$26.00 Three tons ensilage ........ 15.00 One and one-half tons bay... 15.00 200 pounds oil meal ...... 3.50 Care at ten cents per day. 36.50 ] Total ..................$95.00 Mr. Schroeder feeds his cows twoy fifths of a pound of bran for each pound of milk they give. Figuring on 5,000 pound a year cow, and he | says:oné which gives less 1s B0t Pro- -~ fitable, the bran ‘fed s 2,000 pounds per year. The market price last year was 25 per ton. Ensilage is fed at the rate of thir- ty pound a day for 300 days, or the time in which they are not on pas- ture feed, and is figured as worth $5 a ton as it is worth at least that much when turnéd into beef instead of milk. - At ten tons to the acre, a farmer can raise this feed and put it in the silo for $2.50 per ton so that allowing $5 per ton for it as feed he is making an extra 100 per cent. In addition to the ensilage, Mr. Schroeder feeds ten pounds of hay per day and at $10 per tom this is worth $15 for the year. This can also be raised 0y any farmer. The oil meal costs $1.75 per 100 pounds and taat, with the bran, is all that the farmer must buy in the markets. The care is figured high at ten cents per day, especially ‘where there are more than ten cows, and this sum any farmer can earn himself and so add to his profits. In the statement given above, no charge is made for overhead expenses such as fire insurance, keep of ‘the bull, depreciation on the buildings, machinery, ete., but they are amply cared for by the natural increase of the herd. In addition to tne increase caring for the overhead, the best heifers can be selected and added to the herd in place of the poorer cows. Mr. Schroeder says that it does not pay to turn milk into butter until the price of milk gets down to four cents a quart and that even at that price it is a question. 'The farmer wi® wants to get the most from his herd should arrange to sell the milk and cream and put the skimmed milk into pigs. As milk ie eight cents a quart retail, the farmer can -realize six cents a quart net after the milk fis delivered. ~ At the figures given above it pays a farmer day wages to-keep & cow Which gives 3,200 pounds or 800 gal- _ 10ns, per year. As it costs no more to keep a good cow than a poor ome, every pound given over the o,-.. is = | clear profit over the day wages. A~ good grade cow will give from 5,000 to 7,000 pounds.a year. Mr. Scliroe- der wetghs all milk and the feed giv- en eacn cow 8o that he knows at the end of the year exactly how much - the cow has cost and how much she has returned in milk and increase. - By United Press. © Chicago, Jan. 23—The bail bond by District Attorney C.
