AGED MAN is CRUSHED
TO DEATH BY STREET CAR
G. ". Proctor, Unable to Hear the
Warning Bell, Is Run Down
and Killed

Unable to hear the warning of the
bell, G. w. Proctor, aged so years,
was run down by a McAllister-street
car near Octavia street and terribly
crushed yesterday. He died at the
Central Emergency Hospital a few
hours later.
The old man, who was deaf, was
crossing the street as the car rushed
down on him. Gripman Patrick Ca
rey jerked vigorously at the bell and
several passengers shouted warnings.
but Proctor did not accelerate his
step. The gripman jammed his brakes
down an instant too late. The old
man was hurled TO the eobbIestones
and crushed under the car. Proctor
was pioneer Odd Fellow.

Received at the Port of Washburn Thursday

The Above Figures Not Unusual at This Season and

Traffic Capacity at Its Lowest Stage

There arrived in Washburn from
Mannhaven Thursday II ,0O0bush-
els Of wheat and flax brought down
by boat in one day. This marks
another record for the river traffic.
The grain feet arrived during the
day and by daylight the next morn
ing the boats started for Mamma
ven for another load of grain. It
is hard to realize the amount of
work necessary to handle this vast
amount of river traffic which is
brought to this point daily. Three
boats with barges ply between
here and up-river points.
The grain crops around Mann
haven was the largest yield ever
raised in that section and the river
is the great natural highway for
the people of that section and will
be for years to come, and with the
many improvements at this port
in the way Of handling grain and
freight, Washburn is destined tc
develop a great river traffic and we
look forward to greater record
than the present one.
It will be hard for the people of
the cold and stormy east to realize

Be that as it may, Ignite is now
recognized as one of the greatest

burned in house stoves, in furnaces,
in large works and the railroads.
Intelligent engineers who have

Ignite FOR IRRIGATION!
What Has Say About the Probable
of Reclamation Surveys the Upper Missouri
What People Are to Look For

stated TO Ignite is that it slacks
and becomes powdery, which un.
fits it for ordinary fuel. Expert.
ments are being made, and with
considerable success in briqueting
ligniJe so that it will not slack when
exposed to the air and can thus be
transported for long distances
However, in large plants, where the
furnaces could be specially con-
structed, slack Ignite could be used
, as we'll as fresh. When burned in
ordinary stoves in coarse CRATES
under boilers, the green lump lig-
mite is preferable, the danger being
with the powdered form is that it
falls through the CRATES or is blown
outof the stock. Professor Wilder
states that with automatic stokers
the coal is commonly preferred in
a fine state. The so-called stacking
of Ignite is the process Of ,crum-
bling that it undergoes infdrying.
Fresh Ignite from the mines con-
tains some 30 per cent Of moisture;
when slackened, from one-third to
one-half of this has evaporated,
and Professor Wilder says that in
the Stacking the coal loses. none Of
it's fuel value; on the contrary there
is probably a gain in this respect,
for the heat necessary to volatilize
the 30 per cent of moisture or part
of it, is saved.
Ignite AND IRRIGATION.
The value of Ignite in western
North Dakota is now uppermost in
the minds of the people because of
the extensive Investigations which
the Reclamation service is making
Of the water supplies Of the state
with reference to pumping them
out into irrigable lands by the use
of this cheap fuel. The govern
ment engineers are looking into

of water and no signs yet of ice in
the river. The boats this season
will only be able to bring down a
small portion Of the crop raised in
the up-rlver-country, though ever
effort is being made to get as much
Of the grain down as possible.
We have seen it stated that the
Missouri river was drying up and
that navigation would soon cease.
Capt. Grant Marsh who has spent
a life time on the Missouri river,
said that in all his experience on
the river, he has never seen a bet
ter stage Of water. The drying up
cry is probably raised by some one
who does not know anything re-
garding the stages Of water in the
river. We will bank on the ex-
perience of an old river pilot every
time, and the arrival in one day
of IL, 900 bushels of grain by boat
on a river that is claimed to be
fast disappearing seems to contra.
dict the statement. There is great
tributary TO the Upper Missouri
and the productive quality of the
soil is just as great as anywhere in
the United States, and the river
affords these people a great natu.
raj highway for getting their pro.
duce to market, and money spent
by the government in assisting
navigation by the removing snags
and other distractions, would be
money wisely spent.
