a “PAGES ~ LUMBERMEN SEE GOOD PROSPECT FOR NEW YEAR Retailers Coming to Minneapolis for Annual Meeting Are Optimistic. NORTH DAKOTA DEVELOPS Increased Livestock Production Means Better Buildings and Equipment Minneapolis, Minn., Jan. 3.—Retail lumbermen coming to Minneapolis for the annual meeting of the Northwest- ern Lumbermens’ association, January 14-16, will have every reason to anti- cipate and prepare for a good year of business in 1919, according to E. G, Flinn, manager of the lumber depart- ment of the St. Anthony & Dakota Ele- vator Co. “Some of my competitors in busi- ness class me as an ultra-conserva- tive,” said Mr. Flinn, ‘and I believe every man owes it to himself to tell himself the truth. But the business outlook for the northwest — certainly looks good to me at this time, and that means a good year for the retail lumber busine: The only thing that can spoil it is a crop failure. “E base my judgment on the good financial situation, the available credit, and on the high prices that are gu: anteed for farm products for at least one more season. The guarantee ap- plies to wheat, but I see no reason for other products to go lower. The mai ket for all kinds of products will he goods, Wages are high in the cities and are going to continue high. “Our yards are largely in North Da- kota, und a good feature there is the inereased live. stock production and the tendency to equip farms with bet- ter buildin; It is nothing now to sell barn bills where the cost runs up te several thousand dolla Better bara equipment is the rule. Some farmers who have had trouble movir their wheat crop are putting up elevators on the place. :, “The big development in North D: kota is in live stock. I attribute th: mainly to the better farming mov ment started by the Twin City busi- ness men and maintained for several Years, until turned over to the Norti Dakota Agricuitural college men. North Dakota ships five times as much live stock now as. it dia befor that movement }was started.” Mry., Flinn ix, enthusiastic over the work.

Pagosa Springs, Col.—Deep in the Rockies, miles from the nearest village lives a man who for 17 years has not seen a human bing. Like “Tarzan of the Apes” he dwelt among the beasts of the mountains, a drove of wild horses and the moun- tain beasts his most intimate compan- ions. ‘ { For 40 years, he has lived out of touch with mankind. His name is William Hardwick, He is known here as “The Mystery Man of the Mountains.” He is perhaps the only man in the civilized world who has not heard of the world war. Stories had heen told of “a wild man who roamed the hills leading a herd of two score wild horses.” With the first heavy snow the ani- mals ran wild through the little towns dotting the rim of the forest. Deputy U. S. Marshal W. J. MeC levand was asked to round up the beast ‘Mountaineers suggested “he find the “Man of Mystery.” Mr. McClelland searched.

He is wholly back. He hada rifle slung across his arm but’ how he obtains ammunition is aj mystery. The hermit had been a man, appar- refinement and education. He told McClelland he had been gath ering paste: board boxes from camps of tourists out. of which he had cloth- ed himself. He accompanied ‘McClelland to the edge of the forest and there bade the officer leave him, telling him the wild horses would return, Within five hours. Pagosa declar every beast had entered the forest. It is believed here that Hardwick exiled himself because disappointed in love, and when he went into the mountains , took several-fine horses with him, which have ‘multiplied to the present herd. Three letters from Covington, Ky., have come to Pagosa addressed to Hardwick. ‘They were’ never ‘called for, ind were returned. ‘The'tast oné was. eight, years ago.' ‘WELL KNOWN .....
