Helena, Mont, Sept. %. - The East
Pacific mine at Winston was the scene
Of a spectacular accident in which
Louis Schroepel lost his life. The most
plausible explanation Of this accident.
whose real history no one is able to
give is that Schroepel was carrying
his powder in his right coat. pocket
and his fuse wound around his right
arm. While in the act Of climbing he
must have shifted his candle also to
his ribht hand, whereupon the fuse
became ignited. Doubtless he failed to
notice this and. the fuse burned until
the cap was exploded. The ignition
and explosion of the powder would
necessarily follow. He was blown from
the ladder. falling $50 feet. When
found by his fellow workers life was
extinct.

Flax Crop Is n Great Blessing to the
State

The flax crop in North Central Dalxo-
ia will be a great blessing to that sec
ton of the country this year. 1t will
place many Russian families in good
circumstances.
This is the opinion of w. E. Cooke. a
lumber dealer and cattle owner Of Har-
vey. Mr.. Cooke went to Harvey num-
Der OF years ago, before the 500 built
to that place, AMI was the only settler
for miles around. He has followed the.
fortunes of the new country with great
success.
"Our cattle ranges said Mr.. Cooke.
"are in excellent condition, and cattle
are in fine shape to go through the win
ter. The past season has been the best
for grass in several years.
1.-THE wheat is all right, too. The
yield for the state will average four
teen bushels to the acre, but in my part.
of the country it will beat that by tive,
or three bushels.
THE flax crop is the thing which will
do more good. We've got the best we
ever had. When I left home, day be-
fore yesterday, flax was selling at S1.15,
and at that price it will net our farm
crs 500 per acre. You see what it
means when a man has 100 acres in. It
will put 10000 Russian families on their
feet, people who came here two and
three years ago with nothing at all.
We've got a great country for fax.
The land will raise six or seven crops
IL succession. while flax land. usually,
must have rest after the third year.
North Dakota is a fine state. I
know men who came to my part of the
state three years ago with nothing but
an OK team, who are now worth $1,000
to $4,000 clear. We are just beginning
to learn how to treat the land"
