SEEKS HER BOY
Mrs BOrland, of Hot springs, Writes
 Chief Philpot.

A few days ago there was a young man in our city who was quite an acrobat. With him was another young man about "A years of age. The acrooat's name is De- loss Borland and he left his mother at the invitation of this friend of his from the same place. The young man is a great lover of music, acrobatlc work and of the show business generally. His mother has requested the Chief of Police to have her son returned home. She says that he was led to leave home by the other young man, who is reckless fellow. Her de- sire to have him returned home is to keep him out of the show busi- ness, notwithstandingishe says he is natural born acrobat. The po lice have not sighted him as yet, out will 10 doubt find him.

 THE PHILIPPINES.
HOSPITALS ARE CROWDED
A Pine Bluff Boy Writes of the Philippines and the Mon
 keys and Lizards.

We are the recipients of the fol lowing information from a special correspondent at Manila, through the kindness of a friend h this city. The soldier who writes is J. ). Rod. gers and he desires to be remem- bered by all who know him and all those whom he knows.
 He begins: But alas and alack I enlisted at Joplin, Mo, on April 5, 1893. Arrived at San Francisco, Cal, April 9th,
 Embarked for Bacoon, P. l., on Nay Both. He designates this place as the wilderness.
 Arrived at Honolulu Huinan Island on the 8th of June. Remain ed at this place three days. Stal l. ed for Manila on June 18th 1899. Made very quick trip of it on the transport Grant. On this United States Transport there was over 1700 passengers. They were an chored days in the bay before go Ing ashore. They landed on the 29th of June and went to camping in sOld Wall City" They were not citizens very long, before the camp was ivaded by lot of mon- keys and lizards. On the Both they left for Fort De Violate. On the 3rd of July they marched 13 miles tc the firing llne. Our correspondent says: You can imagine what a nice time we have had since" Fur ther commenting upon the beauti- ful climate he intlmates that i've had rot better go over there for we would have too much fun"
 He sends half his love to bis best girl here and retains the other for Aguinaldo. He says, "these ha' tiyes are daiseys. regular birds. They have no respect for them selves or anybody else.' He says further, "that the hospitals are ful of sick people, butI am not sick or shot yet" 'I will, he says "tele, graph you when they kill me. "Fighting here, so he says, lis no' as hard as in Cuba.
 The remaining part of his wal letter remains to be seer by his bes' girl, which we refrain from pub fishing, because of the courtesy due his sweetheart. He closes with th' remark that ''when you want to alt and have hot time take header for the land of monkeys and lizards and rest your weary bones amlds' l the natives who are '.daiseys.

Chippewa Indians to enlist for service
in the Philippine islands.
The scheme is not to be entertained
for a moment.
Cable tolls from Manila are high
enough now, and it is costing the
government a pretty penny for infor-
nation of military movements.
Imagine a message like this buZzing
over the wire from Manila:
Capt. Observation-Disclosures
OBSERVATION-DISCLOSURES Observation-Disclosures
Snakes and Lieutenant Fire-Water-in-
His Veins brought in a bundle of Eili-
pino scalps today. Sergeant Two-Fin-
gers-in-the-B ottom-of-a-Washtub with
Privates Observation-Disclosures
Thunder, Eat-the-Dog, and Boy-that-
Observation-Disclosures left to-
day to hunt for Aguinaldo. Send one
hundred gallons Of war-paint and ten
cases OF t~omahawks and a supply of
SrindstOnes by first transport"
How long would it take to bank
rupt the government, with messages
like this? And, more than this. it
would take about two new cables a
week to stand the strain. We can't
afford to pay cable tolls on the Chip
peWa Indian style Of nomenclature.
The war department must sit down on
this scheme without delay.

Wyndmere last week, to hunt the fes-

took a shot at a lone old bird, while
both were walking through the sand

tried a 100 yard dash through the
sand, but his 265 avoirdupois handi-

He also gave up some other stuff
unfit for publication. Then they
walked four miles to the next house

FLAX FIBRE MILL.
What it Will do to Enhance the Pros
per:ty of North Dakota.

1t is. indeed, an ill wind that blows
nobody good. Last spring the farm
crs in MANY parts Of the Red River
Valley found themselves unable to put
their wheat in the ground because of
the floods. The days Of early seed
time passed and still there was no
lnterlll>Sion i'll the steadily falling
rain. When the sun did break
through the clouds and the black.
loamy soil began to appear in little
islands above the waste of waters. it
was too late TO plant the standard GER
cal with any hope that the grain
would be ready by.harvest time. says
the Minneapolis Journal.
III this emergency the cultivatOrS of
that prehistoric lake bottom b%ethought
themselves Of the properties Of flax.
ll'cy kneW that it was possible TO
plant flax later than wheat: that it
would Withstand cold and ]unfavorahle
weather. mt in the fall would Yield
practically the same return. acre for
acre, as the golden grain. So. tree
less level. when the waters recelcd,
was soWn to flax.
Now follows the logical result. There
is being built in Fargo a fibre mill,
intended for the transformation Of the
straw into Il product which may be
shipped to the paper mills Of the east.
On the showing of a year -" the mill
would presumably have been con-
Structcd just the same: but it proved
itself an additional argument when its
promoters learned that the flax acre-
age this year would be heavier than
aver ami that no ntDftnl. >-1,of a,,,nr.r
cnc.y might arise. their supply Of raw
material would be practically mex
hauStible.
The mill is planned to consume sixty
tons of flax straw 4 day. Elevators
will convey the raw material to the
break machines where ii will receive
its first treatment. From the CORFU
gated steel rollers the straw passes
through a picking machine and then
into Il shaker where The chafr and
worthless particles are removed. This
process is repeated until the refuse has
landed in the furnace and the fibre
has emerged from the machinery room
packed in bales and ready for ship
ment to Niagara Falls. where the
paper plant is located.
1t is estimated that the mill during
its first season will all the

1t will enhance the prosperity Of
North DakOat that new uses are bein"
continually discovered for the harvest
OF her fields and that new enterprises
are furnishing employment for her
labor. But n regret must be eX-
pressed. The factories that whip the
straw into fibre must be located some
where near the source Of supply. for
the straw, for obvious reasons. cannot
be transported any distance as a
profit.
