MUST BUY TICKETS OR WALK
Railroads of the Northwest Will
Make Harvest Hands Pay
Fare.

Concerted action is to be taken this
fall by northwestern coast lines to
reduce the annual free excursions OF
North Dakota harvest hands and to
prevent it entirely if possible. The
rules customarily issued to provide
against the transportation of tourists
on freight trains will be made much
more stringent.
Action has already been taken by
the Great Northern on its Minnesota
and Dakota divisions. Trainmen
have been warned that vagrants must
not be allowed to ride either in ''emp-
ties" on brake beams or buffers, and
that trains must be carefully looked
over at meeting points and other
stops.
Secret service men Of two coast lines
are investigating reports that train
men are receiving money for allowing
tramps to ride. The remuneration is
called "boe money" and is alleged to
represent from $40 toS75 month.

a young man about 25 years of age,
died at the hospital in this city yes
terday morning as a result Of burns
sustained while endeavoring to OBJ
tain ride in a Northern Pacific
stock car at Glenullin. Dernhart was
in stock car, concealed in the hay

fire while a few miles out from Glen

stock was removed from the car at
Glenullin, and the railroad men heard
Dernhart's cries and released him.
He had been unable to make his own
escape from his frey prison, and had
sustained serious burns about the
head and face, and had inhaled smoke
to such an extent that his lungs were
badly affected. He was brought to
the hospital here last Friday night
but was too badly burned to recover
and died Sunday morning.
Dernhart was from Big Timber,
Mont, and was on his way to Chicago
where he said he had relatives. He
had some money on his :person when
taken from the car. HIS relatives
have been communicated with.

FAMOUS THOMPSON CAT CASE.
Interesting Suit Brouoht Against G.
n. Agent Who Shot
q Cat.

The famous Jones county calf case,
from Iowa, will have a rival in the
now famous ''cat case" of Thompson,
Grand Forks county. 1t seems that
Howard Smith, the assistant station
agent Of the Great Northern at
Thompson, shot cat belonging to E.,
T. Spafford, general merchant at
that place, who priced the animal
very highly.
Stafford at first endeavored to have
Smith prosecuted criminally, but
States Attorney Winemen refused to
do it, and Spafford then began a suit
in Justice court for $50 damages. This
case came up Friday, before Justice
Cameron, who dismissed the action
holding that the cat was not one OF
the domestic animals termed property
by the state code.
Spafford is not through yet, however
and has taken an appeal to the dis
trict court.
AS the legal talent employed is
among the best obtainable, the case
will be an interesting one before it's
finish.

Improved Service.

The work of switching in the Bis
marck yards of the Northern Pacific
has become too extensive to be done
by way freight engines, and the road
has installed a switch engine in the
yards. The engine will make a trip
to Mandan each morning at 10 o'clock
with an accommodation car, and this
will give an opportunity for passenger
traffic across the river. Another trip
to Mandan will be made at five o'clock
in the evening, and the engine will
remain there over night, returning in
the morning. This service will be an
accommodation to shippers, and will
be of advantage in switching. Several
additional men will probably be added
to the Bismarck railroad force when
the depot is completed.

Washington Post: A characteristic
utterance escaped the president as
Senator Hansbrough of North Dakota
was taking his leave. The senator
remarked how be had seen four presi-
dents struggling with the crowds that
press upon them in the early days of
an administration, and congratulated
Mr.. Roosevelt that the throng about
his door was not as numerous as those
at the beginning in some other admin
istrations. The president made some
light remark about how he was taking
up the work as industriously as he
could.

the senator as he started away.

remarked Mr.. Roosevelt, enthusiast
ically. II would like to breathe the

Fatal Shooting.

A young German boy who has been
working for Tom Smith at New York
town, north of Dawson, was accident
ally shot Saturday and died as result
Of his injuries. The boy was driving
out on a hayrack, and wanted to take
the gun with him but was forbidden
to do so. Afterward he sent another
boy in to get it, and placed it in the
hayrack with him. While driving
along, the gun slipped down between
the boards in the bottom of the rack
and was discharged. The load passed
through his leg lnficting bad wound.
He was taken to Dawson with the in
tention Of sending him to the hospital
here but he died at the station there,
from shock and loss Of blood.

that the wreck was due to the failure

Modern Advertising.

A little over half a century ago 1t
was considered beneath the dignity Of
many substantial concerns to adver-
tise beyond the insertion in the news
papers Of an occasional business card.
Some of the experiences Of that time
snow how recently advertising, as we
know it. has developed.
a retail hardware house in an east
ern city once found itself possessed Of
ten times the number Of articles Of Il
certain kind that it had intended TO
buy. AS they had been ordered espe-
cially for new hotel and were Of pc
cul;ar design, there seemed to be no
merely nominal sum.
One of the younger men connected
with the concern offered to move
them" at fair price provided he be
permitted to advertise. The sugges-
ton encountered much opposition, but
finally small sum was set apart to
carry it out. The advertisement was
drafted in an attractive way, and the
people soon began to buy the new arti-
Gle. Finally the house was obliged to
send to the manufacturers for more.
When the next seasons trade opened.
the member of the firm who had most
opposed the experiment whispered to
the young man that he had better
write out few notices land put them
in the papers,"
From such beginnings the advertis-
ing practice has come. Thousands of
dollars are now spent not only in ad-
vertising itself, but in devising clever
catch words, ingenious phrases and H.
lustrations which will stick in the
memory of the reader as we'll as new
general methods.-Youth's Companion.

ONE NAN BUYS The RESERVE
Small RanCher and Stock Man Out
Bid - Good Figures Oh
tajned.

L. G. Black of Cincinnati bought
the whole of the Ft. Stevenson reser-
vation at the government sale, out
bidding all competitors.
McGillivray auctioned off the entire
1920 tracts at the land Office between
10 O'Clock in the morning and 4 O'Clock
in the afternoon of the first day Of the
sale, making record as an auctioneer
of public land that is hard to beat.
For the greater part of the land there
was no opposition to Mr.. Black. AS
each tract was called he offered the
appraised value of the land and it was
knocked down to him at that figure.
There was a number of other bidders
anxious to get a share of the; land for
ranch purposes but Mr.. Black did not
propose to be outbidden and when
competition developed for any of the
land. he rapidly ran the price up, until
in one or two instances it reached
over IS an acre. There was plenty Of
cash present among the other bidders
to pay for good slice Of the land il it
could have been obtained.
When the sale was concluded, all of
the land had been knocked down to
Mr.. Black. Peter Borer of Mercer
county bought one tract Of forty acres
but when it was impossible for him to
buy any more land, he resold it to Mr..
Black, who thus completed the pur-
chase of the entire reserve. A num-
Der of stockmen living in the vicinity
were present, hoping to be able to OBJ
tain some of the land for range and
hay land but they were disappointed.
Mr.. Black gave Receiver Satterlund
a check for 81, 1906 for the land pur-
chased. There was total of IS, 585.75
acres of land in the reserve. This
brought an average of about S1.6O an
acre. The total amount realized was
about $1,000 over the appraised value.
There are about $4,000 acres of the
land in Mclean county and 10000
acres in Mercer county and this prop
erty will 60 on the tax rolls of the two
counties for assessment.
It is said that the Van Steinroches
and others of Cass county and Ohio
men are in the syndicate and that the
land is wanted for stock purposes.
