Quite serious accident befell a
nephew Of John Arnold's the
other day. He was running a
disc when he dropped a line and
while he stopped to pick it upthe
horses were frightened and start
ed on a run and threw him off
the seat and in front of the disc.
He was dragged nearly a quar-
ter OF a mile when the pole broke,
which caused the disc to bound
off the ground and left him. He
was terribly cut about the face
and thighs, he however, walked
to the house, a distance OF half a
mile, before he collapsed. DR..
Theilen, Of Carpio, was called.
He took over 100 stitches. The
doctor thinks he will recover.
The unfortunate young manjust
came over from Norway this
spring.

The Question of Roads.

Since so many Of the farmers in
our section Of the county have
plowed up the trails that have
been Travelled for years it becomes
a matter OF some Importance to
get new roads established.
Every one must travel more or
less and the lines Of road should
be established either on the sec
ton lines or somewhere that
would be of use to all. This
would prevent much disagree
ment and trouble hereafter if it
were done soon. No man likes
to see the result of his labor
nullifed by others crossing his
fields with wagons and destroy
ing what crop he may have.
In organized townships this
matter is looked after by the
township officers, but where there
is no organization then it must
be done by petition to the county
commissioners.
There are places on the old
Elbowoods trail that are i'm
passable for a heavy load and
these should be looked after at
once.
The best time to do road work
that will count is when there is
enough water around to show
where the bad places are and if
there is not enough at this time
there will probably never be.
Let us get together and do
something in regard to the mat
ter and The Budget management
stands ready to do it's part in
anything that may be accept
able to the community.

G0phers.

Yes, there are a few of them
yet in this part of the country in
spite of the tact that there was a
bounty on them until the LIST of
May. There is no reason for a
farmer to quit trying to get rid
OF these pests simply because the
count: does not pay him for
killing them. The warm days
that we have just had develops
the fact that even the cats that
were imported in here early can
not kill all thegophers thatgrow
and with the crops that are now
in there will be lots of feed for the
little brutes and it stands a man
i'll hand to trap and kill all that
he can in'every way possible.

Murphy's Lecture on the Indian

Major Murphy gave his famous
lecture on the American Indian
at the opera house before the
Ward county teachers Thursday
evening. The Major fifteen years
ago was agent at the Berthold
agency and has made the Indian
and his conditions agreatstudy.
He certainly is not in favor of
the governments imprisoning
the Red Men on a reservation
and expecting them to develop
into anything good. To get the
best that there is in an Indian,
Mr.. Murphy says, you cannot
give him food and raiment with
out expecting it's equivalent in
work Of some kind.

The Weather and the Crops.

The weather the past week has
been perfect for the growing OF
all crops. Regular corn weather
as the Illinois farmer would say.
Grain has been growing at the
rate OF half an inch daily. Many
fields now stand twenty inches
high. The weather was very hot
for several days, being 80 in the
shade and la in the sun. Sun
day a nice rain fell in this vicin-
ity. The ground is in tho best
possible condition, being very
moist. Nothing but hail or hot
winds can fix us and that we be-
lieve will not need to cause any
uneasiness.
The Ward County independent. [volume] (Minot, Ward County, N.D.) 1902-1965, 1904-06-22
Prospscts.

If the Weather had bssn made
ito order for the past few weeks it
could not have been better. The
rains came just in the right time
for the breaking OF the sod and
then after the seed was in the
moisture in the ground is now
being drawn upon by the hot
sun and in the early mornings
the fields and grass are as wet as
if a good rain had fallen. A
much larger acreage has been
seeded than ever before and it
will be apractical demonstration
of the fact that it is cultivation
that has an enormous effect on
the weather conditions. The
only possible thing that will pre-
vent a bumper crop will be a hail
storm and the farmers can pro-
tect themselves from loss by that
by insurance.
1t is getting late for the sowing
Of the crops but there is timeyet
for millet or sorghum cane and
there is no better feed and there
are no crops that will produce as
much to the acre as those named.
A few turnips sowed on the late
breaking where the ground has
been thoroly worked will be a
good variation to the monotony
Of winter feed for man or beast.
Don't be afraid to do a little
work and if the same care is ta-
ken here that is done in the older
countries there is no doubt of the
outcome as there is no more pro-
ductive soil to be found.
This is especially true Of this
immediate neighborhood and on
all sides can be seen the evidences
that those who are here are here
to stay and will do everything
possible to make the success that
they deserve.

they went further, and, meeting half
way between the lines, delegates from
outposts on either side exchanged ma
pers and traded coffee for tobacco The
plckets were becoming quite sociable
and friendly when General Rosecrans
learned of the amazing condition on
his front and put a stop to the whole
business. But there We're occasions
when the outpost guards stood I'M and
looked each other over, watchful bnt
inclined to peace. We had the adyan+-
age of the Russians and Japs, because
the rebs and ourselves used the same
language, ate the same things, and
were interested in the same things. In
addition to this, Northerners and
Southerners had the same idea of hon
or and fair play, and, no matter how
acltly an agreement was made, it was
kept until one side or the other called
it off. Generals Rosecrans, Thomas
and Bragg would have been scandal
lied had they known of all the unwrit-
ten laws of picket service in vogue at
that time; but there never was the
slightest departure from strictest mill
tary rectitude.
General Grant, when he came to
Chattanooga, was greatly amused at
the conditions on the picket line, but
he accepted them after he rode almost
into rebel picket post one day and
was warned off in friendly spirit. On
the day that General Thomas moved
forward in force there was an end to
a truce on outposts the like of which
probably was never seen before and
has not been seen since. In the Chat
