Croker lost his reckless young life.
Until now cars of 30 and 110-horse-
power have been about the limit.
Now Alfred Vanderbilt is having
taken to Ormond for his use a
car of 250-horsepower, 80 clever
ly built that it comes within the gen.
erous weight limit. The power of 1875
span of horses, tireless, knowing no
limits as to speed, except such as wind
resistance makes, will be applied to
drawing single car carrying but two
persons. The extremely fast cars are
SO built that the wind pressure makes
them hug the track only the closer.
The half-cigar model has that effect;
so does every sort Of upward sloping
tonneau. The effect can be compared
to the old trick of the horse carting
bags of grain up the hill. He goes
easier if one bag is taken of the cart
and balanced on his back; his hoofs
get better grip.
But 250-horsepower! A very decent
little runabout that will carry four
persons has but horsepower. Such
runabout will make IL miles an hour.
Every mile added means q big con-
sumption of power. When the high
speed machines are ruled of carriage
roads, as they must be, what will be-
come Of them? They will not be vast
ed. Perhaps they will solve the prob.
lem of swift communication where
trolley cars are not wanted.

NORTH DAKOTA NEWS
AriA Lanel.,

Washinglon.- Represen9ative Mar.
shall has introduced a bill appro.
priating $4,000 to cover the cost OF IN
investigation OF methods Of dry Land
farming, suited to the arid and SEMI
arid regions of the West.
The bill, enacted into law. will en-
able the bureau Of plap. industry Of
the department Of agriculture to carry
on systematic Investigations with q
view to the adoption Of methods to
conserve the moisture in the soil.
More or less Of this work has been
done by state experiment stations, but
it is proposed to have the federal
government cooperate with them and
take general supervision of the SUBJ
ject.
Representative Marshall said that
there are millions of acres Of land In
the western parts of North and South
Dakota and Texas which can never be
irrigated, and which in ordinary years
will raise good crop, but which are
not looked upon as absolutely sure
crop districts He says the question
of dry farming has gone beyond the
experimental state. His bill provides
for fifteen experiment stations, to be
properly distributed throughout the
area proposed to be covered.

well he might be considering his high
German ancestry and the noble rank

Found Correct.

Minot.-The report of State Ex-
aminer Brightwell over his recent
examination of the county auditors
office was received and made public.
The report came as a disappointment
to many, who hoped to see grave
charges against the auditor. His bond
company asked, some time ago, to be
relieved from their bond, but refused
to make any charges against the au-
ditor Mr.. Fabrick.
The matter was taken before Judge
Goss and he denied the request Of
the bond company for release with
out their bringing charges and prov
ing them sufficient to cause the
auditors having the bond taken from
him. Mr.. Fabrick then demanded of
the commissioners an immediate ex-
animation of his Office and the state
examiner was called. His report states

Troubled for Water.

Jamestown.-The great difficulty in
getting good water for the N. p. en-
gines on the Dakota division is caus-
ing the engineers n great deal Of trou-
BILE, says the Capital. The fall has been
dry and the wells along the line ara
low and the quality of water poor.
Many of the engines leak badly as soon
as they have been repaired, and engi-
neers have a great deal of difficulty in
keeping engines alive at certain parts
of the road. The water at Bismarck
and jamestown is about the best on the
division. The Pipestem river has a
small flow of running water all the time.
The scarcity of good water at this time
is felt as heavy drawback and ex-
pensc to the operating department.

Here, then, was not mysterious

following his vocation with greater
caution than he had exercised before.
When l took up the effort to put
''Old Fred" Biebush where he could
make the government no more trouble
he was busy circulating brass, silver
plated coins in denominations of Is
and so cent pieces and dollars. These
coins could not be classed as clever
counterfeits, presenting an almost per-
feet appearance, but being noticeably
light in weight. He was also circulat-
ing the spurious $50 United States

Cartney and the bills known as the
Richmond tens. The former was q
perfect piece of work.
The Richmond bills were made from

of the bank was left blank. Other
plates were then used in connection
with it on which nothing was engraved
but the names of the Richmond, Mum
Gle and Lafayette, Ind, banks. An
issue of bills was struck from the prin-
cipal plate. Part of this issue would
be run through the press on one Of

Papa Burke is the richest rea. estate
owner on that famous street of the
secondhand clothiers. Barney Solo
mon is rich ice dealer who won
plaudits a few years ago by fighting
Mayor Van Wyck's ice trust. A MIL
lion dollars worth of diamonds were

sky-you see the residents are not neg
lected in giving out the offices. A rich
East side wedding always calls the pol
iticians to duty.
Until now the most famous Baxter
street wedding was when the daughter
OF one of the "only original Cohens"
was married. That time there were
half million dollars worth of dia-
monds worn, but the East side has
grown richer since. There is in fact
great deal of wealth down among
the recent immigrants from Poland,
Roumania and Ruthenia. Most of the
great tenement houses are owned by
people, living in the immediate neigh
borhood. That is not true of any 9TH
er tenement region. Those who be-
come wealthy in the region do not Of
ten desert it. They stay in the little
flats where they have lived and toiled;
as their means expand they find it
necessary more and more to make use
OF public halls for purposes of enter
tainment. Clinton Hall, founded some
time ago by charitable uptown per-
sons as social center for the East
side, has already parted company with
Its promoters and become a kosher
restaurant. Its beautiful halls are
often the scene of weddings, which
wind up with abundant feasts. IEere
Is no region in the city where merry
making is more common. Perhaps this
expansion of the power of joy under a
republic explains why bitter anarchis-
tic newspapers do not have any great
success. Yet the people do not forget.
This is the region that has raised the
better part of million dollars to send
to the homeless sufferers in Russia.
