Left the Camp Together.

The men left the camp together at O'Clock
and started south on the track. After dark they
passed what is known headquarters camp
and slept at the home of a settler. In the
forenoon Of Oct. is, Hammerberg appeared at
Highland station alone and cashed Bloms check,
forging the Endorsement and boarding ore
train for Two Harbprs. l. From there he. went
to Duluth, where he cashed his own time check
and also pawned his watch. s.r..
From that time no trace of him was found
until a telegram was received by Sheriff Nelson
from the chief Of police of Grand Rapids, on
Nov. T. stating that man answering the de-

Stockwell's Recommendations.

State Superintendent Stockwe1l has made sew
eral recon mendations in his biennial report.
Among other things he recommends:
A change in the matter Of choosing county su-
perlntendents, to make education and executive
qualification the test, and not politics.
Better wages for teachers thru higher stand
ard Of examinations and the establishment Of
minimum wage scale.
Better school buildings and grounds thru large
appropriations and expenditures allowed to dis
trcts.
codihcation Of the school laws of the state.
The introduction of the township to school Or
Ranization in counties where it does not exist.
Larger appropriat ton for aid to state high
schools.
means Of furnishing the state educational
institutions with funds to provide for additional
buildings. adequate to their growth.
The last legislature made what it believed was
10 provision for the state educa tional institutions
in the shape Of Il bond issue authorized from the
different institutions and the sale of the bonds
to the permanent school fund The supreme
court declared these bonds illegal and not proper

perate crime Of record in Lake county was re-
7ealed by W. F. Newgard, who was returning
home from hunting trip in the woods. In
passing an old, caFed-in roothouse, about 1926

The wounds on the body indicated the despera-

| first blow was inflicted with a spade, striking
| on the temple and cutting long cash. Four
times was a knife blade driven into the left
breast his throat cut and the back Of his head
pounded into pulp. He was then dragged rect

William O Brien's camp near Cloquet River sta
ton. He recognized the body as that OF a
man named Andrew Blom, who began work at
his camp about Oct. 8 in company with Alfred
O. Hammerherg. He stated that on Friday,
Oct H. Blom and Hamlnerberg quit work and
came to him for their time. He told them that

leave until the following day, and one OF the
men replied that If they could catch an ore train
they would walk to Two Harbors. .rta

Irrigation Legislation.

In connection with the irrigation congress to
be held in January it was hoped to get Secretary
Wilson Of the government department of agri-
culture to attend and give members of the leg1s-

has written that his official engagements are
such that he will be unable to come 1t is hoped

Judge Burke Of the fifth judicial district, who
succeeds Judge Glaspell, will have his introduce

trial will be held at Bismarck jan 10. Judge
Winchester of this district is disqualified by the
request Of the defendants attorneys for another

The demand for farm lands in the state is

Two Harbors, Mimi, Dec. 16.-After being
lost in the woods for several days, almost crazed
as a result of exposure and fearing that he
would die of starvation, James HARRISON, a
cruiser whose home Is said to be in Minneapolis,
attempted to end his life by drowning in Snow
Bank lake, about forty miles north Of Winton.
HARRISON was seen by two Indians standing
on the lake shore and making preparations for
death. They rushed to the shore, but HARRISON
plunged into the lake before they could prevent
him. One Of the Indians followed the cruiser
into the icy waters and clutching HARRISON by
the hair, started for the shore. Despite the
drowning mans vigorous efforts to prevent his
rescue, the Indian manager to reach the bank
where he was pulled from the water almost ex-

then devoted their attention to their white
brother, and after several minutes resuscitated
him. Z" a.. III ..- @.s-z "a -

incoming of the new administration and citizens
Of Bismarck have taken the preliminary steps
for fitting social reception in the way of an In
augural ball, which will be held In the new
house chamber on Dec. 6. The house chamber is
nearly completed and will be finished in ample
time for the converting Of the legislature.
There will be little done in legislative circles

organization and the ball will be the feature
of the opening week. Two orchestras have been

Richmond Puts Away the Speakership
The question of the speakership OF the next
house seems still Undecided: There is strong
sentiment in favor of E. L.. Richmond, who was
among the leaders of the last house. Richmond
is active legislator and has all the Qualifica-
lions for successful presiding officer, but,
into the field as candidate, he refuses to en-
terrain the suggestion Several urgent requests
have been made Of him by close personal and
political friends Lut he says he cannot reconsider
his determination. 1t Is hoped that he may
change his mind and become candidate.
Richmond comes from the central and northern
section OF the state and it is believed that his
candidacy would prevent any of the Jealousy that
is cropping out when the name of Cass county
man is suggested. because of the fact that Cass
has had the speaker for several terms. IT
Richmond refuses to enter the race it Is likely,
however, that w. D. Sweet of Fargo will be q
strong candidate for the place, altho Major Buttz
is looming up possible compromise man.
So far there have been indications of any
strong opposition to Senator McCumber. Natur
ally, the senator is little anxious to know the
drift Of things, and will be on the ground early
to look after his campaign. If there is any
likelihood Of the election Of another man it il
not reflected in the confidence of the old politi
clans in the state, who see for McCumber al
easy victory. A republican caucus will probably
be held the second week of the session. Tit
vote for senator will be had in the two houses OF
Jan. IS.

ers were buying things to eat and to
wear and to adOrn themselves with,
while their smart brothers in the city
were buying the blue sky and thin air
on green tinted bond paper at few
cents above par.
Which brings up the final consider
alton. The farmer is a steady buy
er He is not depressed by panics,
and the condition of the money mar
ket in no way affects him. During
the furry in stocks last summer the
farmers of the west remained in
blissful observation-disclosures of
the whole affair, and while Wall Street
was wild with fear western stores
were selling more goods than they
ever sold before. No one in the west
was hurt by the storm that whirled
through Wall Street.
In the next thirty years the popula-
ton west of the Missouri river will
be doubled. The census figures ad-
nit of no other conclusion. This
population must be supplied with all
the external things that make life
comfortable and happy. Irrigation
is going to develop business sense in
the American farmer of the far west,
even more than the prairie farmer
has business sense today-and he is
fairly wise, shrewd man, is this west
ern farmer today. But the farmer of

nishes him with his business life,
will develop his wits even better than

year. The farmer is the reader in
America; he is the thinker, too, for
that matter. He is the reservoir
of that strong, sane, hard-headed
Americanism that is the balance
wheel of our national, political, social
and moral machinery. And he is not
tickle. The American country drug
store still sells Perry Davis Pain
Killer; the farmers wife will have
nothing but Clarke's o. N. T. Thread.
The city requires something new;
the metropolitan bill boards Of two
years ago would look archaic today,
and the advertisements in the city
papers for '95 and '96 would interest
only the collector of antiques. But
the farmers paper prints the an
nouncements of the old stand-bys. The
farmer particularly loves that which
may be justly called the ''old reliable
The town man desires new and unre-
liable, just to give him a new sensa-
ton; the element of chance, the sting
of uncertainty, these are spices and
condiments that are needed by the
city buyer, but the farmer has sim

of the American sucker now is in the
great cities. There the American

they who are developed today. The
advertiser who gets the commence OF
this vast population which is going
to fill up the vast west must begin
today with the children OF farmers
all over the land. If the advertiser
is building for today only, the town is
the place for him to go. But IL ne
has a concern which has good, per-
manent article, and if he is alUer the
business of the future as we'll as OF
the present he should go to those adj
vertising mediums that enter the
farmers homes.
And remembering this: the farmers
taste in reading is improving. He is
not the farmer of ten years ago, who
took his mental pabulum from publ
cations made to float cheap jewelry
and parlor tricks. The rural route
and the higher country schools have
given the farmer a taste for good
reading His children know some
thing about Kipling, and his wife is
looking up the pictures of new style
of architecture. Do not deceive
yourself, Mr.. Advertiser, that because
