T. r. Croweli of fargo q Crook.

Will the citizens of North Dakota
who have money to invest, please look
out for a man named Crowell, said to
be connected with the Eureka Bri.
quette company at Belheld. He took
photographs of the buildings at Me-
dora, and is reported to be using these
photographs in his efforts to get sub
scribers to his briquette stock. He
tells them that these buildings are the
property of his company. 1t is re-
ported that he took in some people in
Medora with checks that were protest
ed when they reached the bank on
which they were drawn. AS the Pho
neer said weeks ago, the Eureka
Company is a fake of the worst sor,
and Crowell is its faker.-Mandan Pho.
neer.
A few weeks ago when Crowell was
in the western part of the state he gave
several checks, drawn on a Fargo bank
which were allowed to 90 to protest.

the DUIY OF TAX PAYERS.

Dickinson is to have an election
of city officers on the 4th of April,
and it is time the business men,
the people who pay the taxes,
took some interest in the matter
to the end of nominating a
mayor, aldermen and a police
magistrate.
Today Dickinson makes a bet
ter showing in the matter of taxes
than any city in North Dakota,
and if the present high standard
is to be maintained the solid bust
ness men will have to wake up
and do something.
Improvements are needed, re.
forms are wanted in the police
force, and the best citizens, those
who have seen the brunt of many
years here, are the men who
should be selected to conduct the
affairs OF the city.
Select men of integrity, men of
commercial standing, men of bust
ness experience for municipal Of
fees and the city's interests will
be safe.
The Dickinson press., 1904-02-27

The general land office is about
to establish several striking re.
forms in its method of doing bust
ness. One of the most radical de-
partures from the old system is
the fitting out of special agents
of the land office with kodaks of
a high grade. They are to be
used in photographing the i'm
provements of homesteads, timber
and stone entries, and other land
taken by settlers, and the pictures
will be the best kind of evidence
in the thousands of contest cases
pending. In most of the cases
where the title is disputed, the
original entryman sets up the
claim that he has made more or
less Improvements. The con-
testee who seeks to GUST the en-
tryman alleges, on the contrary,
that there are few if amy improv-
ments, and that the law has not
been complied with. On this
issue there are lively contests
before the registers and receivers
of local land offices, and many
witnesses are brought to testify on
each side. After local land off,
GERS render a decision the case
is generally appealed to the gen.
eral land Office at Washington
and passed on by the commission
This means long delays and much
hardship to the settlers, besides
considerable expense. 1t is pro.
posed now to try the experiment

A Marvellous Aerial 0

One of the attractions planned for the
St. Louis Worlds Fair will be an aerial
lobe. 70 o feet high. Some idea of its
magnitude can be obtained after COM
pairing it with the popular Ferris wheel,
which is considered a crude affair beside
it. This statement is also appropriate,
after comparing the celebrated Hostel
ter's Stomach Bitters with other stomach
remedies. Its 50 years record OF cures
puts it so far in the lead as a family med.
icine that the others are considered
crude affairs and hardly worth a trial.
Then don't delay longer, as delay is
always dangerous, especially in cases of
indigestion. dyspepsia. constipation, bill
liousness, insomnia, chills, colds or ma
laria, fever and ague. The Bitters posi-
lively cures these ailments as thousands
have voluntarily testified. Try it and
see for yourself.

The land Office officials believe
that when this method is once
adopted there will be fewer con-

the special agents and two other

THE egg market has ruled alb.
normally high throughout the
United States during the winter,
and for the first time this season
eggs have been imported from
Europe, and for the first time in
about fifteen years they have sold
at a profit of from six to eight
cents, after paying the duty of
five cents a dozen. In former
years there were large importa.
tons of eggs from Canada and
Europe, but importations from
Europe have not been profitable
The fact that there is now a pro.
fit of six or eight cents. per dozer
in importation from Europe, sug
gests an opening to the American
farmer for good pro6t.-Commer

In connection with discussions
of Russia's public debt, much curl

formers lnstitute.

From the committee on Farmers In.
%stitute. the PRESS learns that everything
is moving along nicely for the institute
to be held here Monday and Tuesday,
February 10th and March 1st.
M. F. Greeley, editor OF the Dakota
Farmer and an old wool buyer in this
section of the state, will act as conductor
of the institute. He will also have some
thing to say on the subject of "Poultry"
and Economical Meat Production. In
this latter talk he calls particular atten-
ton to the raising and feeding of sheep.
At the evening session he will deliver an
address on the LANDED Home which is
of considerable interest to the North
Dakotan who expects to build a home in
this state.
A. X. Bush is a general farmer at
Dover, Minn., besides having had years
OF experience on the institute platform.
He makes a specially of answer ng ques.
tons upon general farm work besides
having something to say on the Grow.
ing of Forage Crops, "Hog r aising'
and "Tree Culture.
E. S. Delaney of Valley City will
speak on the Draft Horse, his Bse eding
Care and Management. Mr.. Delaney
is an entertaining speaker and having a
fund OF valuable information upon this
subject never fails to interest bis audi.
ence when talking about the draft horse
Thomas Convey represents the dairy
interests IN the institute platform and
having had years of experience in this
work as we'll as practical dairying is well
qualified to give much valuable informa.
ton on the Farmers Cow, "The Ad.
vantages of Dairving, How to Handle

E. G. Schollander is an expert in the
Selection of Seed Grain, and Methods
of Cultivation to produce the Best Re-
suits. Having farmed for a number OF
years in Stutsman county he not only
presents the subjects from the stand
point Of an experimentor but the practi.
cal farmer as we'll. In this locality the
question Of forage is an important one
and undoubtedly there will be many
questions relating to the best forage
crops and how to grow them.
The farmers and stockmen should
come to all of the sessions and if they
have any special topics they wish dis,
cussed all they have t do is to speak to
Mr.. Greeley and their wants will be at.

The residents of Dickinson are urged
to attend all the sessions of the institute
especially the one held in the evening.
The evening program is designed to
entertain as we'll as instruct,

1903 will be distributed free at the meet.
ing. Everyone who attends is entitled
to a copy of this annual which is well
worth the time and trouble of attending
the institute.
The PRESS desires that the institute
speakers be greeted with a large and
enthusiastic audience as they are all
men who have experience in farming
as we'll as institute work.
Remember the time and place and
don't forget that your wife is probably
as much interested in these subjects as
you are yourself.

by the warDl- or gru, ii. k.nsa- il. :
come that the agricultural station Of
the state has issued a special bulletin
telling the farmers how to deal with it. 1t
has been estimated that in one year
alone 60 per CEN Of the cattle in Kan
sas were affected with MARBLES, and the
financial loss by damaged hide was esti-
mated for the United States at from
s5o.ooo,ooo to 100000 o Grubby hides
are usually blocked" about one-third.
Marbles are more prevalent in the
western Part oi the state, and attack
young animals more severely than older
cattle.
Marbles or gruhs are the larval
form off the OK bot-hy or heel-hy. The
grubs or MARBLES are noticed as little
Jumps or punches just beneath the
skin of the back. Directly over each
MARBLE there is a small pore or open
ing in the skin through which the grub
brea,hes.
The adult heel-fy or warblc-Ay is a
little larger than the common house
fly. In the latter part of the summer
she deposits her eggs upon the hair of
the cattle in the region Of the heels. The
presence of the flies among cattle causes
much annoyance. The animal ticks the
part and the larvae are taken into the
mouth. From the throat or gullet the
small larvae bore their way through the
tissues until they locate beneath the
skin of the back, where they. increase in
size quite rapidly so that the Jumps are
large enough to be noticed by the latter
part oil December or early January. In
February or March these larva or grubs
work their way out through the small
holes in the skin, fall to the ground, bur
row into dirt or litter. pupate, and some
weeks later transform into adult flies.
AS the adult flies do not travel far, a
cattle owner can free his herd pretty
we'll from these pests by treating them
at this season of the year. If other cattle
in the immediate vicinity are affected,
the adult flies will travel far enough to
infest neighboring cattle. All cattle
owners should unite to destroy this pest.
Treatment should begin as soon as
the MARBLES are noticed UPON the ami.
| mails backs. Most OF the MARBLES OF
grubs can be destroyed BY putting tur.
pentine, kerosene, crude petroleum or
mercurial ointment in or on the opening
through the skin directly over the war.
BILE. If the opening is very small, il
should be enlarged by using a smooth,
pointed stick. A machinist's oil can
having a slender nozzle furnishes an ex.
cellent method of applying the medi.
cine. BY running the cattle through a
chute they can be treated quite rapidly
They should be examined in about ten
days, and any that escape the first treat.
ment should be destroyed by a second;
or, better, squeezed out and crushed: or
they may be crushed beneath the skin
by squeezing the lump. or killed by in.
serting a pointed wire or large blunt.
pointed needle. 1t is important tina,
any grubs squeezed out or escaping
naturally should be destroyed or they
will transform into adult flies.

Norris Orchard Saw The Fire.

Norris Orchard who is attending John
Hopkins university at Baltimore, has
written Fargo friends about the great
fire, and extracts of a letter published in
the Forum will prove interesting to his
Dickinson friends. He says:
When | came down here l anticipated
thoroughly enjoying a southern winter,
but l am for North Dakota winters every
time. In the first place. the climate is
so raw and damp we drink very little
Whitewater l said. We absorb so
much, drinking is unnecessary. Seri-
ously the thermometer has been fooling
around zero so much we nearly solidify
when W 60 out.
Regarding the fire, Norris says:
Sunday night things looked very
threatening for us, even though we live
about a mile from the wholesale
district. The fire appeared to be a gi-
gantic wall Of fame, about 200 feet high,
and the wind dead on. Two o'clock
Monday morning we seriously discussed
packing up. Fortunately for us, the
wind changed to the northwest. After
that we we're not in danger at all.
From my window, l had a regular
bald.headed row seat. l was decidedly
popular about this time. Owing to the va.
riety of stuff burning, the flames we're oil
the most beautiful hues l ever hope to
see. ! have not seen very many big fires
but never before have l seer such cruel
angry looking flames. They seemed &c
exalt in the terrible ruin they were ere.
ating.
The buildings supposedly fire proof
stood pretty we'll, but would finally sur
render, bursting into still fercer flames
as though they were glad to revea
mans impotency.
The city is recovering very rapidly
1t will cost about 100000 to cleaI
away the debris, and put things in shap.
for building again. They will wider
and straighten the streets in the burned
area, which. by the way. will prove to b.
a blessing. To save his reputation al

GENERAL USE OF BRlQUET TIES
Ia the Next Few Years Is the Prediction
Of Coal Experts Of the Geological
Survey.

Washington, D. c., Especial cores
pondence of New York evening Post,
ave shall be using briquettes on a
large scale in this country withiQ a very
few years." said E.. w. Parker, who was
a member of the anthracite strike COM
mission, and is the coal mining expert Of
the Geological Survey. This is an in
dustry which, although it has no foot
hold to-day, is bound to come to the
front. Conditions which have been
%unfavorable for it in the past are rapidly
changing. In Germany one.third of the
entire coal mined is Ignite, nearly all Of
it being %briquetted before use. A Ger
man friend of mine recently told me that
when he was at school he used to buy
eight or ten briquettes each morning,
put them into a porcelain stove, and close
the draught tight. They would thus burn
all day long.
For domestic purposes the briquette
offers an exceedingly economical method
OF using coal. With Ignite, or even with
the fine coal produced as the result OF
mining industry, or even with very dry
| bituminous-as those Goals are called
which do not fuse when thrown on the
grate-eficiency is greatly increased by
this process. Ignite goes all to pieces
under combustion, and with the other
kinds that l have mentioned a large
share of the combustible material is los,
through the CRATE bars. If these were
made sufficiently small to hold every.
thing in. the air supply would be in
sufficient. But when these Goals are manu-
featured into %briquettes they hold to.
gether IN that form until consumed
Everything burns to an ash and withou,
| ciinkers.
THE chief reason why this Improve
ment has not developed here has been
the low cost of our raw fuels. 1t must
also be acknowledged that American:
are not as a people given to small econo
mics. But from letters l receive l an
convinced that the era Of the briquette i!
rapidly approaching. Experiments arr
in progress in many quarters. A manu-
featuring concern in Chicago is putting
up a model machine which will be ex
hibited at St. Louis, while several con
Germs elsewhere are attempting thesam'
thing. German and English manufact
urers have been looking over thi
country with a view to establishing plant
here; they think the market not quit
! ripe, l understand, but l believe the,
are mistaken. When | looked into thi
subject in 1891, such was the cheapnss
and superiority of our raw fuel, tina
there seemed little economic motiv
in support Of the briquette indust.
Prices of coal have been advancing S
steadily since 1893, though, that in 100
the average selling value per ton at tn
mine for both anthracite and bitumi
nous coal was 40 per cen higher than i
1893. Small sizes of anthracite, formerl
wasted, are now utilized. Much is re
covered by washeries from the old clun
banks of the anthracite region. Som
coal is still. however, lost in the form G
dust, which might be utilized if it be pu
in convenient shape for domestic con
cumption
