FIGHT WITH DEVILFISH
-Four Willamette Fishermen Have a
Thrilling Experience.

An incarnation of hideousness that
has been aptly named "devilfisb y
was displayed this morning in front
of a fish market. This mcnster
weighs more than 100 pounds, and its
tentacles measure about IA feet from
tip to tip. The sinuous, Shiny folds in
the center of the radiating tentacles
which pass for a body, will cover an
area of about two feet. The great
tentacles, which are lined with dou-
BILE rows of suckers, are larger than
mans arm at the biceps, and doubt
less had great strength, says the Ore
gon Daily Journal.
Mr.. Guistin, who is familiar with
the habits and records of the octo-
pus, says that this specimen is un-
doubtedly the largest ever captured
in the Pacific Northwest. 1t was
taken near Everett, Wash, by four
fishermen, who had it. 1t became
entangled in their seine, and when
brought to the surface, began to use
its tentacles. and striving hard to
draw the men from their boat. BY all
of them working together, and be-
cause the monster was befouled by
the seine, it was finally landed in the
boat and dispatched. The conflict
was sickening to all four, as the vile
odors and clammy filthy touch of
the devilfish were almost intolerable.
Mr.. Guistin has sold the thing to
A California man, who is going to
have it preserved and exhibit 1t in

METHODIST CHURCH
BURNS AT WlLLISTON

The Methodist church at Will
liston burned TO the ground at
three O'Clock Saturday morning.
The structure caught fire in a
mysterious manner and before
any assistance could be obtain
ed, it was all in flames. Nearly
all of the contents were burned.
The church was an old land
mark. 1t was once used as the
chapel at the Fort Buford reser-
walton, and a few years ago it
was moved to Williston, being
taken down on the ice OF the
Missouri river, in the dead OF
winter. An accident happened
to it at the time, and the build
ing came near being submerged
in the waters of the Muddy Mis-
souri,. But willing hands rescued
it, and it was safely taken on
the remainder of it's journey.
Presiding Elder Moore, OF this
city, was notified by telegram Of
the burning OF the church and
efforts will be made to rebuild at
once.
1t is believed that the fire was
started by some enemy to the
church. The fire was started at
the south side of the building,
from the outside, as if oil had
been poured on the building be-
fore the match was applied. The
building was good one, 25x7O
feet in size.

The Tale Of 4 Silver Dollar.

Ten years ago a farmer put his
initials ON a silver dollar and
went to town and spent it with
a merchant. Before the year
was out he got the dollar back
Tor poultry and spent it again.
Four times in six years that
dollar come home to him for
products and three other times
he heard OF it in the pockets OF
his neighbors. The last time he
got tin change four years ago
he sent it to a Chicago mail or
der house that had amassed
1000, selling third rate
goods at first prices. He has
not seen that dollar since and
never will. That dollar will ne
yer pay any more school taxes
or road taxes for him never help
build up a town never bless or
brighten the home OF his neigh
Dor. He sent it entirely out OF
the circle of usefulness to him.

North Dakota Creameries.

North Dakota possesses advan-
tages for dairyinglittle dreamed
of by the first settlers. With an
abundance OF rich, nutritious
grasses, which give a superior
body and flavor to butter: cheap
lands; and an excellent market
in the states to the west, the
state is rapidly forging to the
front in the dairy industry.
From ten creameries in 1899 the
number has increased to eighty
two nearly all OF them operating
this year with an increased num-
Der Of patrons and cows. North
Dakota creameries are nearly all
operated on the hand separator
basis SO the farmer, il near the
railroad, can find q market for
his cream by shipping to the
nearest. creamery. More than
six Thousand cream eaFAratoIs
are inuse on North Dak0tASaRms.
The returns that can be OBJ
tanned from dairying are wellillu-
strated by ADMINISTRATION made
at the New Salem creamery for
1908. No particular breed OF
COWS are kept by the patrons OF
this creamery but Shorthorn
blood probably predominates.
This creamery has been in opera
zion since 1896 and the patrons
are wideawake, progressive far
mers, who have realized the inn
po;tance OF careful records and
careful selection. The investiga.
tion included eighteen patrons,
who were milking 3O4 COWS. The
largest yield Of milk from any
herd per COW was 1850 pounds
and the smallest 5000 pounds,
with an average OF all herds of
4,167 pounds: The average test
was 4 per cent butter fat, thus
making an average yield OF
1G6.6S pounds OF butter fat,
equivalent to 194.46 pounds OF
butter from 3O4 cows. The ave-
rage cost OF keeping a COW was
$12.73 a sum less than the value
of the pigs and calves raised on

IS 4 BOWER OF loVLlMESS.

"A representative OF Cne INDIE.
PENDENT visited the Ole Gen
farm last week and was agreeably
surprised to find such comfort
able surroundings. Mr.. Den has
an ideal farm home and is put
ting forth every effort this year
to make his home more beauti-
full than ever. The reporter
found Mr. Cen and hired man
buslly engage in mulching the
young trees. Mr.. Gen has a fine
nursery Of ten acres, mostly COM
posed OF trees. He has the most
beautiful box elder, cotton wood
and ash trees, which have been
carefully trained and looked az
ter. 1t had showed the day be-
fore and in the grove the snow
was two feet deep. Just the thing
for a grove OF this kind. Mr..
Gen started a few years ago with
but a few trees. He plows his
ground very deep before plant
ing the trees and always cultiva-
ties them. After they have taken
quite a start. he mulches them.
The mulching keeps the ground
around them very moist. MIR.
Gen has sold quite a number Of
late, and when he digs out a
fairly large tree he plants a
small one in it's place. His grove
will never be any smaller. Mr..
Den has a good deal OF success
with willow. Any kind of trees
will grow in North Dakota if they
are looked after, Mr.. Den believes.
Mr.. Gen is an interesting man.
His story OF his life in North Da-
kota was listened to with great
interest by the reporter. He
has been farming iii Ward coun-
ty for fourteen years and he says
during all that time he never
had a failure. These statements
coming from a man whose integ-
rity is unquestioned, will put a
stop to all stories originated by
those who wish to knock against
this country. He landed here
with a team and hardly a penny
in his pocket. His wealth TO-
day is reckoned in the thousands.
He has done more than pile up
wealth. He has established for
himself out OF raw prairie, a
home OF which any man might
be proud. He has taken the vir-
gin sod and made Of it, a bower
of lovliness. He has sown seven
ty acres Of old land to bromus and
a visitor to his farm may see fat
hogs running u pastures living
upop4nethipg but this bromus.
He raises sleek cattle, prefering
tiereiUEd and Shertilurn mixed.
The cattle take to the bromus
fine and he finds that an acre of
bromus in one season will pro-
duce two tons OF feed. Last sea-
son he threshed twenty acres Of
bromus and secured seed which
he has sold this year for 5000
and has plenty of seed left.
Threshed bromus is fine for feed.
He has experimental with bro
mus five years and recommends
it to anyone. Mr.. Den has good
horses and breaks his ground
good and deep. He has gone
down nine inches.
In the early days when there
was a poor market for wheat, he
raised p bushels to the acre but
could get only forty cents a bu-
shell for it. For oats he could get
forty cents a bushel went out OF
the wheat growing and raised
mostly oats. He has always Sc
cured from fifty to seventy bu-
shells to the acre. He has found
it profitable to raise chickens,
geese and ducks. He diversifies
to q great extent. He has ne
| yer depended upon cattle exclu-
sively.
