quality. being of sufficient power to fill
large auditorium. Brinkerhoff pianos
are not unknown to Idaho Springs peo

the said walk in question was certain
ly miserably poor for several months
prior to the accident.
DR.. D. S. Moore was called to the
stand and gave quite a physiological
lecture on the sciatic nerve and the
likelihood of an injury such. as was
sustained by Miss Pyke causing the
great pains testified to by plaintiff.
DR.. Moore was on the stand when

one and one-half hours this afternoon.

Would Extend the Circuit.

G. P. Walker of the Red river val
ley theatrical circuit is considering
the matter of adding the Jamestown
opera house management to his list
of theaters and is negotiating with
the local management here to that
end. The opera house being one OF
best in the state, if arrangements
be made Manager Walker says he
would endeavor to give this city the
advantage of his datings in other
towns. He reports Winnipeg as -four
ishing and that it is now week stand
town, owing to its large number Of
transient population and size, the city
claiming 10000 to 10000 residents. Mr..
Walker has added sheckels to his
possessions since going into the busi-
ness and claims to have on his circuit
the best one night stand towns in the
United States. He is on a trip to the
coast making first visit to Spokane
Seattle and the Puget Sound country.
Manager Walker is a prince of good
fellows and shrewd theatrical busi-
ness man and his numerous friends
rejoice with him in his remarkable
success in the Red river valley circuit.

proportionate to the amount of water
used. 1t would mean that but one
wetting would suffice, twice as much
land could be irrigated 18th the same
water as where two wettings we're
required in the season, and three
times as much as where three wet
tings were wanted. In much of the
area where irrigation is praticed,
three wettings of the land is re-
quired to grow maximum crops.
The vantage ground therefore that
North Dakota has from this source
IS very great. 1t will exert an i'm.
potant influence on the relative cost
Of irrigating land.
The utilization OF water from wells
pumped bv wind power may be made
to accomplish much in certain areas.
The dammIng Of water in draws may
be made to accomplish more. But,
after all, the supply from these
sources is limited compared with
what will be raised from streams. A
motor has been invented recently
which raises water from streams by
power received from the current.
On such rivers as the Missouri,
which have so much current, why
could OF these be used with mani
fest advantage in raising the water
over the river banks without other
outlay than The first cost of the ma
chine and repairs?
Where moisture is so valuable no
steps should be left untaken to re-
tain it. 1t does seem unfortunate
that so much of it in the spring
time runs away and is lost to the
crops. The examining Of the soil with
humus and the retention of mois-
ture that falls and runs across the
country in streams. If properly uti-
liZed, would turn it into sort of
Eden. The soil has wonderful bear
ing power, and with enough moisture
would produce enormously in the
aggregate NC question of equal
magnitude, in the judgment of the
writer, confronts the people Of North
Dakota. The waste of water that
has thus heen going on for centuries
would in tn" aggregate reach figures
almost beyond the power or enumera-
tion. Let this waste be stopped
soon and to the greatest extent posi-
BILE and forever.

PROF. SHAW'S ADDRESS
At the Irrigation Meeting at Bis.
observation-disclosures of Western
i Lands When Properly Fdrmed.

The following is the address, in
part, of Prof. Thos. Shaw of st.
Paul on hesubject of general farm
ing in North Dakota"
To try to farm western North
Dakota on precisely the same lines
as eastern North Dakota would be a
huge mistake, and to try to farm the
areas of western North Dakota when
certain of them come to be irrigated,
as, doubtless they will be in the
future, on the same lines as the un-
irrigated portions of the same would
be mistake of even greater magni-
tude. The true system of farming
for eastern North Dakota at the pre-
sent time is mixed husba1dry.
neither intensive nor extensive, but
general In its character. The true
system for the unirrigated portions
OF western North Dakota is extensive
farming, making live stock the GEN.
tral line of production, and that for
the irrigated portions is intensive
farming, which will pay much atten-
tion to the production of both grain
and live stock.
The size of the farm that will be
suitable under extensive conditions
will depend upon soil, subsoil and the
capacity of the farmer. Where land
is underIaid with gravel which rises
near to the surface, the area should
be considerable, but where it is
underlaid with clay it may be much
less. A good farmer should make
we'll on half section of such land.
even on the assumption that the live
stock shall be grazed within the
limits of the farm. This would fur
nish about l6O acres Of grazing land.
the balance to be devoted to the pro-
ducton of winter food. This style of
farming would render it necessary to
feed the stock during considerable
portion of the year. This should be
quite practicable where the products
grown are all fed on the farm. The
COWS kept should be Of the dual type.
which means that they should be
MIXED the manufactured products
sold and the skim milk fed to swine.
The grains grown to provide such
food would include wheat, barley,
speltz. oats, rye, flax and corn.
Under these conditions macaroni
wheat would best answer the pur-
pose because Of its hardihood and
the large yields obtained. Such
wheat and oats grown together. In.
Guiding also fax, would furnish ex-
cellent food for cows or other stock
and without other preparation than
simply grinding it. These would be
sown together and in those propor-.
tions which experience showed gave
the best results. The chief advan-
tage from growing such foods thus
is found in the larger yields pro.

nation was lengthy, lasting yesterday
afternoon and most of Tuesday morn
ing. It was brought out tnat Mrs.
Perkins, at that time Ella Pike, was a
head nurse at the Jamestown city hos
pital, and while on her way to the
main part Of the city from the hospi-
tai, caught he: foot in hole in side
walk between first and second avenues
on main street, early in March. 1903.
Fiom this fall she sustained injuries
from which it appears she suffered
severe pains at the city hospital and
later about Sept. lst at the Cakes
hospital. The pains were of such a
nature that morphine and cocaine
were administered to her by Drs.
Rankin and Moore, and later at Cakes
hospital by DR.. Boardman
1t was also shown that after con-
siderable stay at the Oakes hospital
during which wituess experienced
great pain from her injuries received
by her fall caused by a broken sidewalk
and the nerve disease resulting there
from, witness was at request Of DR..
Eoardman Of Oakes, sent to the
jamestown State hospital for the
insane.
On cross examination Attorneys
Kneeland and Glaspell for the city,
endeayored tc show that the plaintiffs
present weakness, and the pain testi-
fed to, and her insanity were caused
by the excessive use of morphine.
DR.. Boardman was called to the
stand to testify. He said that Miss
Pyke was brought to Oakes hospital
about Sept. 1st, 1908, and that in his
opinion the morphine treatment for
the inflammation Of the sciatic nerve
was proper under the circumstances,
and that morphine rather than caus-
ing pain, has quieting effect on
the system. rss e....

Having plead guilty yesterday to
the charge of assault with attempt to
kill, Timothy Sullivan Of Medina was
sentenced Wednesday to a years i'm
prisonment in the state pententiary.
A digest of the testimony brought
out at the Pyke trial in the order in
which witnesses were called, appear
ed in yesterdays issue and the evil
dence given up to short recess taken
at about p. m. s.
After the recess referred to E. L.
Beatty was called to the stand. He
testified: that he lis a baker residing at
Darlington, that he was in James
town during January and February,
1903, and that his wife was at the city
hospital during that time. He stated
also that he travelled over the side.
walk in nQuestion nearly every day dur
the time ::and that he noticed the
break in the walk. He could not give
the name Of the street until he went
over it that morning and saw the
guide signs and he could not describe
any other break in the walk except
this one.
A. H. Perkins(husband of the plain
tiff) was next called. He testified that
he came to Jamestown about the 18th
or 18th of April and took plaintiff to
Oakes. that she was under the doctors
care there and testified as to her
general health during that time stat
ing that the pain and cramps in her
lex would draw her leg up so that 1T
would take the combined weight and
strength of himself and his sister to
straighten the leg out again, also that
she was out of her head part of the
time. Mr.. Perkins stated also that
he isSa blacksmith at Oakes and that
he was married to plaintiff Christmas
1903. Also testified as to examining
the break in the walk at the time he
came to take plaintiff to Oakes.
Gorda Bay called to the stand.
Testified that he was a patient at
hospital in spring 1908, that he was
staying in town attending school, that
he came up town with plaintiff on the
evening OF the accident, that she fell
as described in her testimony. On
cross examination it was brought out
that the boy in locating the place of
the accident for members Of the coun-.
Gil and their attorney located it first
between third and second avenues.
Afterwards in passing down the street
he changed his mind as to the loca-
tion described by plaintiff in her
testimony between first and second
avenues on Main street. He seemed
however to be somewhat confused as
to the locatson and his testimony was
not very strong. s$
Ellen Perkins (plaintiff) recalled.
