The Generous Uses to which Henry

In his 'Eccentricities Of Genius" Ma

which would get loaded up with letters
and papers until they could hold no
more, when he would clear them Out
and destroy such papers as were worth.

On one occasion Beecher happened
to put his hand in the watch pocket
Of his p%antaloons and found there a
little envelope which he opened. When
he saw its contents. he ca I'd Major
Pond to sit beside him and remarked:
You remember the evening l married

And so in q day or two Mr.. Beecher
went with Major Pond to look at a

he gave away until he had used up

this and Ward counties as to the legal

act of the legislature, passed in 1895,
consolidating the counties west OF the
Missouri, also added to Bottineau
a part of Renville county, the re-
mainder being annexed to Ward coun-
Fty. Bottineau county is sixty miles
in length and since the establishment

northeast corner of the county, 1.-The

~ FROM EASTERN STATES WHO

Buffalo Courier: In the North Da-
kota exhibit Of the agricultural build
ing hangs a large picture which shows
forty-ive horse plows at work break
ing upon the stubble in the spring on
one of the great farms of that state.
The picture wa painted from life on
the Powers farm in Richland county
and was the original Of the design OF
oneaof the Omaha exposition stamps.
Il have the greatest trouble a y
Lieut.-GoF. Bartlett, who is the conn
missioner in charge of the exhibit, ssto
convince eastern farmers that that is
a scene on one mans farm They.
have an idea that all those men, horses
and plows. were gathered together just
for the picture, or think that the
farmer got behind so in his work that
the neighbors, to help him out, got I'D
a blowing bee.
1t really is, though, an actual,
scene on one mans farm. Farmers
out there farm from 1000 to 10000
acres. The Powers farm was at that
time 5000 acres, though it may be
smaller, now. Another thing about it
is that many of the men who own
those great farms went in without a
dollar when the country was new. The
land laws at that time permitted a
man to get three-quarters Of a section.
With that as a start he could soon get
where he was able to buy more, and it
ii not take long for a mar to get to-
gether one of those great farms"
"a man could plow a pretty long fur
row in a 10,OO0-acre field" remarked
an Ohio man who dropped in to look
at the exhibit. =s2
yes, replied the governor, "and
I just got a paper from out home the
other day which tells of the longest
furrow which was ever plowed. It
was 272 miles in length, or, rather,
that long up and back. 1t was not
'plowed on a farm, but was a frebreak
along the line of the Northern Pacific
railroad.
l. 'NThe wonderful thing about that
feat is not SO. much the length Of the
furrow as that it illustrates the free
dom of the soil from rocks. In max
ing the furrow he took his pillow out

up and once going back, each time to

THE GREAT OIL DISCOVERY.
Well Has the Greatest Flow of Any
Yet piscouered

Washington, Jan. 21-Great inter-
est is taen in the big Oil "gusher,
which has been flowing SO steadily
the past few days at Beaumont, Tex,
by the members of the United States
Geological Survey.
Investigation by the survey shows
the well has the greatest flow of any
ever discovered Some big, wells
have been found in Russia, but, so far
as can be learned, nothing to compare
with the daily flow of 10000 barrels n
day of the Lucas WELL The experts
of the survey say that there is abso-
ltely no way to tell whether the we'll
will keep up its phenomenal record.
Experience in the past has been that
all of the big gushers have not lasted
long, but the conditions have not
been the same in any we'll discovered
previous to the one in Texas. The
force of the flow is illustrated by the
statement which comes to the survey
that it blew 400 feet of piping out OF
the ground. Just now every tank
line in the country has been appealed
to in the effort to get enough tank
cars to carry off the OIL which is
spreading rapidly over the prairie. So
great has been the flow that Lucas
has been dev6ting most of its energies
to damming up the flow of oil toward
the railroad track some rods away.
