lished there, and Il committee was ap-
pointed to secure the names of those who
would plant and furnish the fiber.

Smothered to Death.

A peculiar and fatal accident occur
red at the farm of August Albrecht, in
the Coriune neighborhood, Tuesday
The second floor of Mr.. Albrecht's gran
ary, upon which was stored about 300
bushels OF barley, gave way beneath the
weight OF the grain, and carrying the
first floor with it, buried Mrs. Albrecht
and her daughter in the basement, which
was used Is a milk house and in which
they were attending to some duties at
the time. Mr.. Albrecht's son Ed. was
emptying more sacks into the bins above
when the crash came, and was carried
down in the debris. The mother and
son escaped serious injury, but the
daughter, Nora, aged IA years, was
smothered to death in the mass of grain
The funeral of the unfortunate girl will
occur next Friday, when relatives who
are expected to arrive from the east will
be present. The deceased was a sister of
Mrs. Jacob Yager of this city. The at
hicted family have the sympathy of the
entire community.

Joining Forces to Ship Wheat.

County Treasurer L. G. Willis of New
Rockford, was visitor in the city Thurs
day night. Eddy county, be says. has a
big crop and the farmers are combining
teams and forces to ship the wheat as
fast as possible themselves So far, in
every case reported, they have done much
better than by selling at local grades and
prices. Over forty cars have gone out of
New Rockford for individual shippers
this year-somethlng never known be-
fore. Neigbors turn in and help haul
all of one mans grain at once, in or
der to get the privilege of holding the
car. Another elevator is being erected at
New Rockford, making the fourth eleva-
tor at that point, but none of them, it is
said, are doing the usual heavy business.

Keeping Cases on Everett.

Port Gardner, Wash, News: Hon
Jud LaMoure, one of the pioneers of
North Dakota, having settled in that
bleak, frozen waste more than twenty
years ago, was at Everett and Lowell
Monday. Mr.. LaMoure is one of the
leading politicians and business men in
Dakota. He is famous for never failing at
any enterprise he undertakes. Besides pos
sesslng native ability, he is also mascot
unto hlmself-so say those who have
been so reckless as to toy with the red,
white and blues with him as an adver-
sary. Mr.. LaMoure is at the head of the
Dakota syndicate that has large hold
ings in and around Everett, and lie Is
out here TO look after this interest, ex-
pectipg to remain all winter. He will
make his headquarters in Seattle until
things open up on the salt water front
and good hotel throws open it's doors
for business.

Plenty OF Room.

According to Land Commissioner Car
ter's report, North Dakota has 1916, ,44O
acres of public lands yet open to settlers
"a quarter section each for over 10O.90O
citizens, which the government Is willing
to present to them as gift, Oh proper
evidence of theil making good use of the
gift.
There is lots of room in North Dakota
for 100000 farmers. There is good land,
and TO spare. There is home, an hon
orable subsistence, independence and
broadening opportunities on these prai.
res.
But the state wants farmers-settlers.
The greatset injury that has been done
this region was inflicted by the land grab
Der and we want none OF him. With an hon,
est settler on every quarter section, the
prosperity Of the state would !be assured
There arc just as many opportunities
to go into debt here as in any other sec
ton, and no more opportunities for get
ting rid of them. An honest debt is nc
objection to settler, bnt the more ol
the settlers who have fewer debts the
greater the prosperity.
North Dakota has lots OF room fol
brawny, brany men who are more scarce
OF debt than of work.

A Presidential appointment.

Attorney E. W. Camp. of this city, has
been appointed to the vacancy in the Of
fee of United States District Attorney,
for North Dakota, caused by the removal
of the late incumbent, Hon. J. +. Selby,
of Mayville. The Office is one of the
prizes in the gift Of the president and
one asp1red to by many of the ablest law
yers of the state. Last year the pressure
for the appointment was very great, and
one OF Mr.. Selby's heartiest supporters
was Mr.. Camp. Mr.. Selby's large legal
business interests, it is said, probably III
duced him not to give the attention to-
the duties Of the Office which the de-.
partment considered imperative, and for
that reason 1t is understood that change
was decided upon. Mr.. Camp will fill the
Office acceptably and his appointment is
marked compliment to his ability as
lawyer. Pay for services rendered is by
fees, and the Office should prove quite re-
munerative. It is understood that both,
Senator Casey and Hansbrough unitedl
IN recommending Mr.. Camp. His friends
can congratulate him on the appoint,
ment.

most fatal injuries from being dragged
quite distance. His skull was frac-
tured. one le. was broken and his spine
badly hurt-so much so that DR.. Rankin
expresses doubts as to q recovery. The
accident happened about three o'clock,
near the Fifth avenue crossing. The
train was under good headway at the
time, having pulled up from the stock
yards at rapid speed in order to climb
the hill east of town with greater ease
Lorenson evidently miscalculated the
speed, and in reaching for the railing on
tho caboose platform failed to secure
o. proper hold. The push engine struck
him, but as he fell outwar the wheels
were prevented from absolutely crushing
him.
The injured snan--or boy, Lorenson
being but II years Of age--was carried
into the baggage room at the station and
received prompt attention from the com
pany's physician and surgeon. 1t was
found that no internal injuries had been
sustained, but the others were OF ma
ture rendering the case extremely doubt
full. He was unconscious all last night,
and was sent to the Brainerd hospital
early this morning on train No. 2.
Lorenson's home is ut Spiritwood, and
he was spending Sunday IN the city with
friends. He has beeh employed as q Sec
tion hand by the Northern Pacific.

Will Raise Barley in North Dakota.

A large syndicate Of Chicago capitalists
has been organized for the purpose of
growing barley in North Dakota This
industry has been stimulated by the pas
sage of the Mckinley bill, which puts
duty of Is cents bushel on the Canadian
product, and practically compels the
brewers OF this country to buy the grain
at home. There has been comparatively
little barley raised in the country, and in
the Dakotas, whore the crop is great
success, scarcely any attention has been
paid to it. The present price Of barley
in Minneapolis is from so TOGO cents.
The Chicago syndicate has bought, it
is reported, nearly three townships of
land in North Dakota, in the Red river
valley, and is negotiating for more.
These districts will be colonized by
Germans brought from Ohio, Indiana
and Illinois by the syndicate, as they
are conversant, as Americans are not,
with the agricultural art of raising barley
peculiarly adapted to the use Of breweries.
The land, each family occupying quart
or section, will be sold tc them on easy
payments with 10 years time, and their
crops purchased at maturity. Every
grain of barley will be matted on these
farms and the malt shipped direct to the
brewers upon demand.
"The trouble with Dakota farmers"
aid syndicate representative to Min
neapolis Tribune reporter, sis that they
wheat out their land instead of d1versi-
flying their crops and giving j. rest.
The same elements of soil which produce
wheat do not produce barley, and by
sowing the latter the soil may be given a
rest. In Dakota the best kind of bright
barley, that which brewers most desire,
can be grown without difficulty. These
Germans whom we shall send up will not
be permitted to use binder or any other
appliance which will spoil the flavor Of
the grain. It will be cured with barley
fork, which insures fine malt. BY
mailing it there we shall save freight
charges and secure a better grade of
malt"

An Important Case.

A case has been filed in the supreme
court, appealed from Judge Rose, that
will determine whether seed wheat liens
under act of 1890 take precedence over
praor mortgages. The action is entitled
Yeatman vs.. James King and wife, the
county 81 Foster, James Murphy, treas
urer of county and w. NJ. Moore county
auditor, and is Drought to foreclose real
estate mortgage executed in 1887. In
1890 and 1891, King availed himself of
the provisions of the seed lion law, Foster
county supplying him with wheat for
seed on premises inoumbered by Yeat-
mans mortgage. The statute provides
that the value of the grain furnished
shall 5e tax on the land If not paid and
shall be made good to the county like
other taxes, in effect becoming an incum-
brance prior to the mortgage indebted
ness. Judge Rose holds that such can-
not he the fact, that the seed lien is infer
ior to the prior mortgage, and adjudged
a sale of the premises in this order of
claims. The county appeals. If the su-
preuas court sustains Jud ge Rose, many
counties will lose heavily, as k-se
amounts of seed grain we're furnished
holders of mortgaged lands

OF Benefit to Farmers.

Grand Forks Herald: j. E. NVineman
strikes the nail squarely on the head
when he says that the Northwestern
Farmers Protective association is good
thing. It is one of the few organizations
which have proved of benefit to the agrl-
cultural classes, and 1t is a credit to its
founders, who instead of indulging in
calamity talk, go quietly about the mat.
ter in business like way. The associa-
TONS agent at Duluth, Mr.. Tharaldson,
has handled considerable amount of
gram this year, and he has made the
shippers an average profit of S35 per car
more than they would have otherwise
obtained. BY being right on the ground
and looking after the matter personally
Mr.. Tharaldson is able to pet all there is
in it for the shipper Any person can
become member of the association upon
payment OF the So membership fee.

Landscnpe Gardening.

Some of the most conspicuous effects
that may be realized from group.
ing and placing trees are: 1. The for
nation of distinct groups of the various
species and varieties. q Planting ever
greens with view to forming dis
tinct winter scenery. 8. To gradually
blend evergreen and deciduous planta.
tions by pleasing connections. 4. To
place certain trees in conspicuous posi-.
tions. 5. To plant with reference to
individual beauty, as also with regard
to the resulting from com mbination Of
forms. 6. To produce pleasing Sky
outline to all heavy masses or distinct
groups. 2. To plant with regard to
autumn coloring and the introduction
OF towering trees. All If these effects
may not be obtainable on the lawn,
but judicious selection and planting
will combine a considerable number OF
them.-Orange Judd Earmez
