TWENTY.THIRD YEAR.
COMING IRRIGATION Meeting
All Indications Point to One of the Best
Attended Gatherings Ever Held in tn !,
State of North Dakota.

The forthcoming irrigation conven-
ton at Bismarck promises to be one
of the largest attended meetings ever
held in the state. There is general en-
thusiasm through the state upon the
subject, and North Dakota is awake
to the necessity of taking some con-
certed action to have portion at least
of its share of government funds ex-
pended in the state. AS has been
stated, government engineers have
made Investigations of a preliminary
nature in the western part of the state,
and reported to the chief of the irriga-
ton bureau. 1t is now wise that the
representative citizens of the state
should meet, discuss the matter and
frame resolutions which shall reflect
the sentiment of the state and give
the senators and representatives of the
state encouragement and support in
obtaining state recognition from the
government.
The railroads of the state will assist
in every way possible in making the
convention q success and all Of them
have granted a one fare rate from all
points in the state to Bismarck. The
knowledge that President Hill of the
Great Northern road will be present
and make an address will bring many
visitors to hear him. 1t will be the
first time that President Hill has spok-
en- in the western part of the state
Probably no man has done more to
build up the great west and draw pub
lie attention to its possibilities than
Mr.. HILL While he has made frequent
addresses upon the subject OF immi-
grafton, It will be the first time that he
has spoken on the subject Of irriga-
ton. He has a fund OF wisdom and
practical suggestions that will be Of
value to the people Of the state and
his address will be both interesting
and beneficial.

An Official inquiry into the death OF
c. l.. KnudsOn, the carpenter who was
killd in the falling of a scaffold at Fort
Lincoln, was conducted last night by
Coroner Quain, with J. G. Quinlevan,
William O'Hara and Burt Finney as
jurors. After hearing the testimony
of the witnesses the finding of the
jury was deferred pending an exami-
nation of the scaffold that fell. The
testimony of the witnesses showed
that the falling of the scaffold was due
to defective timber used in its con-
struction, although the defect was not
visible from the outside, and all of the
witnesses, including Walerius, the
man who was with Knudson on the
scaffold and who was saved from death
or serious injury by the fact that he
struck a second scaffold seven feet
below the first one, stated that the
scaffold was to all appearances sound
and capable of sustaining more weight
than was put upon it. James Durkin,
who helped build the scaffold in ques-
tion, stated that it was what was
known as a lookout scaffold, two tim
bers two by eight inches being fast
ened to an upright inside of the win
dow and extending out through the
window, being fastened at the sides
of the window and resting on the sill.
These planks were sent out edgewise,
and the planks resting on them formed
the support for the men. Durkin tes-
titled that they considered the scaffold
sound, and that in building scaffolds
they were instructed to choose none
but good timbers and those free from
defects. The falling OF the scaffold
was due to the breaking Of one OF
these lookout timbers, piece OF
Washington fir
John Walerius, the carpenter who
was working with Knudson at the time
of the accident, testified that the two
men went to work about half pas
seven o'clock on the scaffold in ques
ton. Walerius said he had looked a
the scaffold when they went out on !
and felt sure it was sound and stroni
enough to hold two men. The falling
, of the scaffold he said was due to tn
breaking OF one of the loOkouts. II
:. had looked at this after the accider
and said the grain ran somewhat at a
angle. instead of lengthwise of tn
i, wood and this was the cause of tt
:, break. At the time of the accidel
" Knudson was standing on the scaffo
saving off piece of board. and
was standing near Knudson holdir
up a two by four, to make anoth'
scaffold. He heard the lookout brea
, and felt that he was falling. The ne.
thing he remembered was that he VIZ
lying on the scaffold seven feet b'
low and from there he could see knut
son, falling, having nearly reached tn
ground. He said that Knudson at tn
time of the accident was facing ava
from the building, and he (Walerius
was standing close to the building
thus accounting for the fact that Wal
erius fell on the lower scaffold an
Knudson missed it. Walerius said tha
he felt certain the scaffold was al
right or he would not have got on it

ed last year to the enormous sum
of 500, 55S. These figures affol d
interesting study. In the first
place the preceding year was one
of the most trying on crops in our
recollection, and as a consequence
the people were less able last year
than usual to squander money.
These figures, deducting the IS
days the dispensary was closed
last year, represent average daily
sales to the amount of sos. This
amount if expended IN the EN-
ployment Of teachers for our
schools would have paid the sal
ary of 45 at $50 per month for
nine months, or 81 ut $40 per
month for the same term. 1t
would have paid the salaries of
81 ministers of the gospel at an
annual salary of 5000 each, but
when we consider that the average
salary of ministers Is only about
$500, 1t would have paid GS at
the latter figure. But all of it
was wasted while the schools had
to be closed because of an insuf
ficiency of funds to maintain them
and doubtless many preachers
failed to receive their salaries in
full. OF course lot of suffer
ing must have been occasioned by
such II waste of funds in such a
year as last. The sales Of the
Lancaster dispensary are largely
in excess of kershaw and when
the two are combined they would
represent figures something like
$50, 900 year for the county,
and yet we continue to hear the
cry Of hard times. --Kershaw
