The Grit-advocate. (Julesburg, Colo.) 1899-1907, 1901-04-26

The German army has furnished an
other terrible illustration of what duel
ing means. An infantry captain pres
ept at an officers dinner took offenss
at the innocent but rough horse-play
of an army surgeon, and struck him.
He then retired to his quarters. In
little while two officers representing
the surgeon appeared with challenge
Before they could deliver it brother
of the surgeon entered and shot the
captain dead. His excuse was that he
sacrificed himself to save his brother,
the surgeon, who had a wife and chill
dren, and could hardly hope to sur
yiye a duel with the offended captain,
a noted pistol-shot. Such an incident
must come home with peculiar force
to the emperor, who has frankly COM
mended dueling in the army as the
proper way for soldier to protect bis
"honor."

two or three times to investigate the
irrigation systems there, the manner
of refOreSting denuded tracts of land
and to study the best methods of pre-
venting destruction of forests. The
last of these trips was made about two
years ago, when he came back from
Spain with many new ideas. For the
last two years he has been irrigation
expert with the United States Depart
men1 of Agriculture. His last report

The Syrup Factory.

Alessrs. E. w. Bittman and Samuel
Glover made trip to Omaha to look
a new industry that was only started
at that place last fall The inyentor
a gentleman by the name of fPeter
son, has new process for making
syrup from sugar beets, which only
takes from $4,000 to $4,000 to build
aud operate. The first years work
showed that it was practical and pro-
fitable, and while tLs market for the
syrup is not quite as stable as that
for sugar, it is anfndustry that will
be profitable bSth to the operator
and the farmef who grows the beets.
We learn that the gentleman who
invented the process wishes to make
proposition to build one of his fac
tories in/Oakes this summer, ready
for what beets are raised here this
year, No proposition has yet been
submitted, but the committee were
very lavorably impressed with what
they saw, and will be inclined to give
bis proposition favorable considera-
ton when he is ready to submit it.

Pan-Amerlcan Exposition.
le People of North Dakota.

| 1o tle TeOple OF North Dakota,
The state legislature having ap.
priated $4,000 for the purpose of
setting forth the resources and ad-
vantages of the state by an exhibit at
the Pan-American Exposition at Buff
falo, and created board of commits
sioners for carrying out the provis-
ions of the act, the said commission
ers respectfully ask the assistance
OF the counties, cities, towns, corpora
tions, firms and the citizens generally
to the end chat the state NAV be
creditably represented.
The appropriation is small for the
purpose desired, but with the valued
assistance Of the people the exhibit
can be amplifed so that all will have
reason to betgratifed at results at
tained and proud of the showing
made by "the Breadbasket of the
World.
Every product Of the state should
have place in the exhibit, the yield
of the field, the ranges, the mines,
the flax and woolen mills, the starch,
sugar beet and other factories, the
religious andIe EDUCATIONAL advantages,
the culture of the homes, pleasure re-
sorts, all these and many more we
desire to place before the world show
ing the desirability of the state as a
home, for investment and business
enterprises.
To this end the several counties
are asked to contribute in such man.
ner as they may deem best, the coal
men, stockmen, factory. and mill men
are invited to prepare exhibits bene-
ticial to them and the state. The
several state institutions are also re-
Fquested tc prepare exhibits of work
accomplished, and privste citizens
having articles calculated to exem-
plify the culture of the home or en-
terprise of their community are urged
to interest themselves in this matter.
There aresbutssix weeks before the
opening. of the exposition and much
is to be done, sosall interesting them
selves in this matter are urged to ,.,be
expeditions.
Parties having. photographer the
beauty spots in the state will confer
a favor by contributing them for use
in the printed matter, it being desir-
able to show the statetin it's most at
tractive features. If desired, all
photos will be returned uninjured.
The commissioners have decided to
offer suitable cash prize for the
BEST design for a state button, watch,
fcharm or other souvenir, the idea be-
ing to distribute this souvenir at the
exposition. The design must be
typical and distinctive of the state,
unique, yet so plain as to be recog-
nizable at a glance as North Dakota's
emblem. Designs submitted should
also relate to the shape and material
of the token, the item of expense be-
ing always kept in mind. Here is a
chance for the genius and artistic tai
ent of the state and it is hoped gen.
erous response will be made. Ad-
dress all communications regarding
exhibits or souvenir to R, j. Turner,
secretary Pau-American Commission,
Bismarck, N. D., and mark on envel-
ope containing designs as above:
"Designs for State Emblem" All
designs must be in the hands of the
secretary on or before April l, 1901,

Casa Grand canal has again broken.
been repaired. and is running bank full
to the happy ranches of the valley. If
some man of mean would step in and
buy the old thing he could turn several
honest pennies before the San Carlos
reservoir would get under way.
Just now the country is real dull, and
we are slowly simmering down from
the boiling rage into which we were
thrown last week at the lawful slaught-
er of our pet dogs by the marshal's shot
gun.
The most active question in the hear
future to us is whether We are an in
co%rporated town or only a wide place in
the road. and that will probably have
to be settled by the supreme court of
the territory on an appeal case which
is now starting on h upward journey
to that august bo6y.
