Shows Her Beorishness In Disgraesfu
Manner
The members of the Modern Wood
men lodge Of this place have a good
amateur play entitled Carl johnson

produced IN very creditable manner
before an appreciative Occur d'Alene
audience. They thought that our
nelghborS across the lake would appre.
ciate the play and billed the town OF
Harrison for show Wednesday even.
ing. In doing so they neglected TO take
into consideration one important fact
that Harrison is on a Siwash reserya
uon--which may account for the boor-
ish and unciviliZed reception given them
when they reached that town.
The woodmen, accompanied BY their
band and about fifty citizeus of Occur
d'Aiene, went TO Harrison on the steam
er Colfsz 10 oil the date AS advertised
The band began PLAYING in front of the
hail when the lights were turned out.
Hoodlums blew tin horns and pounded
on tin cans. They went into the hall
and started the play, when some one
IN authority interrupted it by appear.
ing and demanding Is as license. The
few Harrison people who attended the
show were boorish enough 10 talk TO
each other across the hall and ia every
other way annoy the visitors. These
insults were not only INDUCED in by
boys, but grown men are said to have
taken part and sanctioned them. Some
OF the visitors were informed that the
insulting proceedings had been planned
before the boat arrived. This is not
he FIST time that Occur d'Alene peo-
pie have met with such a reception at
Harrison. We do not believe that such
things are approved by all Of the people
OF that town, but the fact that they
were permitted by the authorities shows
a state of depravity that is no credit 10
the town. The naked truth as above
reported needs no comment. The de-
cent people Of that town ought to blush
from shame. No other town in the
state would be guilty of such acts.

Flax took a fall OF five cents
last Thursday, sellingthen for IS
cents. just why it dropped SO
much in one day is a mystery.
The buyers state that it is much
more pleasant for them to deal
with the farmers when fax is up,
and they have an opportunity
to make more money also.
Farmers are not satisfied with
the yield Of fax and the price

We Want $3,OOO,WO.

The great benefit to be. derived
from the irrigation convention
will be apparent when it is taken
into consideration that congress
has appropriated SIG, 100000 to
be used in thirteen semi-arid
states, North Dakota being one.
This money is derived from the
sale of lands and this stateis ad-
ding to this fund at the rate of
$1,000 day. For the past
fifteen months more money has
been paid at this land office at
Minot than any land office in
America. The law provided that
the secre tary may use the money
in any state which he deems best
the states to have the use Of the
money for thirty years without
interest. What We want to do
is to get our eye on $3,0O0,000
Of that money and keep it there
until we get it Major Murphy
suggested a plan before the con.
vention to have acanal dug from
Des Lacs lake to the Des Lacs
river forty miles distance and
run feeders from that canal over
the surrounding land. The far
mers might pay something for
the use OF the water, keeping up
a revolving fund. The result OF
this would not be SO apparent |
until we have two or three dry
seasons together. It would be
no trouble to raise 100 bushels
OF oats and SO Of wheat to the

For a New Bridge in Minot.

Nels Tufueson is circulating a
petition in this city to have a
bridge built across Mouse river
near the T. Jacobson home. 1t
would open a street running east
and west past DR.. Mohn's hos
pital. There are some fine lots
in that part OF the city which will
be made valuable by the build
ing OF this bridge. Mr.. Tufueson
says if the bridge is built, he will
erect next summer a number OF
fine cottages for renting purpos-
es. The petition will be present
ed to the county commissioners
who will act on it at their next
meeting.

Good Chance for Contest.

A party Of fourteen old sold
iers from Bowling Green, Ohio
came here last week and filed on
land west Of this city. One Of the
party, c. S. Ely, stated that he
did not intend living on the land
but was sent here by a speculat-
or. He had a chance to see the
country, and on account of be-
ing an old soldier, he will not
have to reside on the land. Here
is a chance for some one to do a
little protesting which would
teach some Of those wise guys
from the east a lesson.

THE FIRE WAS BURIED.
Gas Machine at Titus Laundry Blows up
Thursday Boys Rush to Find That
Hydrant Does not Work.

The gas machine in the lwash
room at Titus laundry exploded
Thursday afternoon and for a
time it looked as if the building
would be destroyed. The fire
alarm was sent in, the fire laddies
rushed to the laundry, making
fast time, but they were greatly
disappointed to find, after lay
ing the hose a quarter OF amile
from the hydrant near the Euro
.pean restaurant, to the laundry,
that the water failed to come.
The hydrant was not in a work
ing Ehumor. A bucket brigade
secured water at the river close
to the laundry and several
shovels were kept busy throwing
dirt on the flames. The fire in
this manner was checked. Con-
nection was made with the
round house and what little fire
there was left, was put out. The
gas machine had been put in but
a week before and was used in
furnishing gas sfor the ironing
machines. The pipes exploded
with the machine. Chas. Wilson,
the wash man, stood ten feet
from the boiler when it blew up,
but was not injured. All the
laundry dirty and clean, was
tumbled out by those who ex-
pected to see the building go up
in smoke. Z .-.
There is something wrong with
our waterworks system. 1t was
only by chance that the laundry,
and perhaps a good part OF Mi
not did not burn Thursday after
noon. A man should be employ
to test the hydrants regularly.

county AudltOr Larson anu
Major j. S. Murphy returned
Friday night from Bismarck
where they attended the irriga-
tion convention. A most i'm
portant meeting for the future
welfare OF the state was held there
and Ward county received a good
deal of attention at the hands OF
the representatives, aswell from
J.. J. Hill, the railroad magnate
who spoke there. A permanent
organization was effected. Mr..
Williams, OF Bismarck, was ell
ected president; J. s. Murphy, OF
Minot, vice president; E. Y. Sar-
yles, treasurer. The delegates
were instructed to prevail upon
the commissioner Of ofirrigationat
Washington to do something for
this state in the way Of approp-
Rating moneyfor irrigation pur-
The first thing to be done is to
have the land surveyed in that
part Of the state where irriga-
tiOn is needed
One OF the principal sources Of
water spoken Of was Des Lacs
Lake in the upper part Of Ward
county. An effort will surely be-
made in time to have the lake
drained and the water run down
the valley over the richest land
'>in the United States. Mouse
river is to be tapped if the plans
are carried is out. Years ago the
Mousp r riser ran down the old
channel into Cheyenne river east
OF Devils Lake. The channel is
still in existence and the water
could be forced down this chan
mel over some pllh, agricultural
lands without Great expense.
The Missouri river will be taken
out Of it's course and run north
west through Ward county to-
wards Portal. Itmay take years
to do all OF these things, but the
delegates are Of the opinion that
these plans are feasible.
The work Of irrigation in Ar.i-
zona was spoken OF. The work
in one place in thatstate will cost
$4,000, 900 while in another it
will cost A,OOO,OOO.
It was figured out that $4,000
acres Of agricultural lands in
Ward county alone could be IT.
rigated along without much ex-
pense. Every man who can is
urged to irrigate some OF his
land and report to the commits
'sioner at Washington. Private
parties may get assistance from
the government in time.
One Of the best things at the
convention was the speech by |
James j. Hill. He talked strong

the farmers, indirectly helped the
Great Northern. He said that
he was not at Bismarck to Jolly
the delegates, but he was there
for business. People are often
against the railroads when they
should be for them. Freight
rates are not a third what they
were twenty years ago and the
railroad companies are making
more money too. He said that
the s.Great Northern had made
more money on the 200 miles be-
tween Grand Forks and Minot
than it had on any other stretch
Of the road for the same distance.
The passenger and freight traffic
are both greater than anywhere
along the line.
He said the freight receipts at
Minot last year were over $780,
600. If this is the case, we be-
lieve Mr.. Hill should keep his
promise and build that long ex-
,pected depot.
Mr.. Hill stated that he had
stopped at Minotnumerous times
and believed Ward county had a
great future. He hoped that
Minnesota would take a tumble
to herself and prosper like North
Dakota. He said North Dakota
had been good to him, and he
had always been friendly towards
the state.
Mr.. Hill made a very import
ant argument in favor. of irriga-
tion on the praries of North Da-
kota. He said even if this did
not turn ont to be an agricul-
tural state, it was ascertained
that irrigation was Just the thing
for the grasses. 1t was easy for
the farmers to find pasture for
their cattle in the summer time,
but often they had trouble in
getting hay for the winter. Ir-
rigation would solve this pro-
blem.
A reception was held for Mr..
Hill in the Northwest hOtelin the
evening. Our county auditor,
Louis Larson, was given an in
PRODUCTION to him. Mr.. Hill said
he hoped Ward county would be
easy with the Great Northern as
to taxes or the CON-
pany would be broken up on that
account.
An attempt will be made to
have the next convention held at
Minot. Senator Martin Jacob
son was present and stated that |
his opera house was at the dis
posal OF the guests, should the
executive committee decide to
meet here.
Major Murphy made a speech
before the convention in which
le said some good things for
Ward county. The speech was
yery we'll taken.

morning about ten o'clock. Mrs. Me
Greedy arrived in the city Tuesday morn

the barn caught fire from the tobacco
ashes of some one who wa, seen to
have entered the barn with pipe in
his mouth. No other cause can be as
signed The sad part of the loss lies in
the fact that one of the horses belonging
to Mrs. McCredN'S fine black team was
burned MP with the structure. Several
horses were in the barIs at the time
the fire wa, discovered and were with
difficulty driven out into the corral.
This horse that was burned. however,
after he had been taken from the barn,
