died suddenly of heart disease while in
bed at the Palace hotel, at Langdon.
He had only arrived the day previous
from Mimic, and his companions state
that his home is a. Bemidji, Mimi,
where his wife and family are reported
to be holding down land on which ne
had filed. Inquiries by Coroner Gibson
failed to locate any of the mans rela-
tives, and the remains will be buried at
the couEty's expense.
Since Saturday night the local police
have been trying to find three bur-
glars who attempted to blow open the
safe in the billiard hall and restau-
rant Of William Spiker Of Langdon.
Mr.. Spiker and some Of his boarders
heard the burglars from overhead, and
the latter only escaped after the ex.
change of several shots.
i Within the grain-marketfng radius
of Langdon there are 10Y s~eventy-odd
threshing machines at work. Unfa-
vorable weather has, until this week,
made all progress in caring for the
crop very slow. At a low estimate, the
yield Of 10000 acres of fax will be sold
at Langdon. Locally, the barley acre
age will nearly equal what was sown
to wheat, with indications that, as far
as heard from, that a yield Of over for
ty-five bushels per acre will be secured.

Chicago, Oct. 6. - Underlying the
charge made by the grand jury that
Alexander Sullivan. Edward Mayer,
Frederick st. John and George P.
Murray conspired to send James J.
Lynch, the, former bailiff in Judge
Ciifford's court who is under charges
OF jury bribing, out Of the jurisdiction
of the criminal court and Of keeping
him there, is a greater conspiracy, it
is said, duplicating court officers.
The story told by Lynch to the grand
jury %astounded the members of that
inquisitorial body, as it revealed a con-
dition Of corruption In the courts that
exceeded anything that has ever been
limited at.
According to Lynch's story court
officers and jurymen have been cor
rupted by the score, and there are at
the present time in the courts Of Cook
county, he declares, bailiffs, who to
his KNOWLEDGE, have been guilty Of
acting as dispensing agents for the
West Chicago street railway in efforts
to reach jurors in the personal injury
cases.. So far-reaching was the state
mentsof Lynch that the grand jury has
decided to probe further into the mat
ter. p=e y.

Diver.tned

"A canvas Of thu leading merchants
of Grand Forks develops the fact that,
as a rule, all are satisfied with the vol
ume OF trade at the present time. A
good, steady business is being done. It
is a fact, however, that the business
anticipated for the fall months has not
been started, and 1t is the opinion of
many that the great rush, expected
earlier in the season, will not be ex-
rerienced. In this connection, r. B.
Griffith, says:
''The conditions illustrate very shrik-s
ingly that diversified farming tsswhat
is needed In the Red River valley. This
country should not be dependent onRthe
wheat crop to the extent that ft isss AZ

yOnd the Experimental Stage.
s. o. Edison has returned to Grand
Forks from Orange, N. j., where he has
spent the summer, and is making pre-
parations to start up his fiber fuel
plant at McCanna at an early date.
The manufacture Of fuel from straw,
Mr.. Edison thinks, is now beyond the
experimental stage, and while not suffi-
cient was manufactured last season on
which to base figures as to the cost Of
production, he is certain the cost will
be low enough to make the fuel az
cheap as any other, and perhaps cheap.
er. 4
The plant will be started in a few
weeks, and as the supply of straw this
year is unlimited, it is expected that
fiber fuel will soon be manufactured in
large quantities, when tests will be
made on a larger scale than in the
past. The straw is first boiled thor
oughly, after which it is put through
the grinder and compressed into tubes
abut foul inches in diameter, which
can be cut into desired lengths. The
fiber fuel is ready for use when it
comes from the machine, though 1t is
not absolutely dry, as it is impossible
to get all the water out by pressure
alone. The cut straw is compressed
by means Of a worm, and therefore it
is not known how great the pressure is,
out it is very great.
The plant erected at McCanna has a
capacity Of about forty ton of fiber a
day, and when running on full time will
employ twenty-five men. AS soon IS
al! the details have been completed, and
the process of manufacture perfected
in every way, it is the intention to
erect plants in all parts of the North
west. The farmers will then haul in
their straw and exchange it for the
fiber, much the same as the old grist-
mill plan. Mr.. Edison has been work.
ing on the scheme for evera years,
and believes it to be one of the biggest
things for this country that vas ever
attempted.

xoRTH DAKOTA CRoPs.
Country in Better shape Than Ev,
Before.

0C1OECs
G. A. Hale, general agent for North
Dakota Of the Equitable Life Insur-
nee company, has just returned to
Grand Forks from an extended trip
over the northern part of the state. He
reports business conditions the most
favorable that he has known there for
years, and he says that both farmers
and business men will be in better
shape, financially, this winter than they
have ever been before. He reports good
progress made in threshing in most
parts Of the state, but there are some
exceptions. Along the main line Of the
Great Northern most Of the wheat Is
%threshed; but there is still considerable
flax to take care of. Further north
there is more wheat unthreshed, and
the fax is practically untouched. From.
the most careful investigation that he
has been able to give to the subject, he
concludes that the fax crop of the state
will this year be from 1900, 900 to 49,
600, 900 bushels, yielding to the farmers
in the neighborhood of $17,0oo,o 900.
Mr.. Hale tells of many remarkablA
yields. One Of these was on a farm be-.
longing to Senator Hegge Of Benton
county. Mr.. Hcgge offered this quar-.
%ter-section last fall for $4,000. on crop
payments. "A partial bargain was made.
but the prospective purchaser did not
care to complete the contract, though
there were 100 acres Of .pl9wed land on
the quarter. Mr.. Hegge, therefore,
seeded the lana himself, and he will
thresh about II, 900 bushels Of flax from
it-more than enough to pay for the
land after all expensea are paid. There
are many other cases almost as re-,
workable. %

Within the next few weeks there will
be offered for sale in the State of North
Dakota thousands of acres of the finest
land in the state, which has never be-
fore been put upon the market. When
the state was organized there was a
reservation made Of two sections in
every township for the purpose Of Gre
ating a fund for the common schools.
This land has been in the market since
that time, and a great deal of it has
been sold. The remainder has been
leased whenever possible. In addition
to this there was reserved a large
quantity for each OF the state institu-
lions, and the trustees of each institu-
ton were authorized to make selections
of this land wherever they saw fit in
certain counties. They naturally chose
the best land available, and this land
has since been held for the benefit of
these institutions. At the last session
of the state legislature the commission
err of state lands was authorized to sell
portions of this land-a few thousand
acres from the lands of each institution
land this is to be done this fall.
One reason why it was desired t.
dispose of lands in thu, manner was the
fact that while it formed part of the
assets of the institutions, it was unpro-
ductive Of revenue, and the care of hos
pitfalls, schools, ETC., was a heavy bur-
den on the revenues of the state. It
was therefore considered to be a wise
policy to sell a portion of this land, and
with the interest on the funds thus Gre
ated prepare to pay OFF some of the
bonds Of the state which were issued
for the purpose Of erecting buildings.
