Burial Of crsmatsd Men.

The McHenry Tribune notes the
disposition of the remains of the two
men cremated in the barn on the Ed.
Posey farm near Courtenay. ~
s'One of the men was afterwards
identified as Ezra Barnes, more fami-
:liarly known-as Barney Barnes, and
well known here in McHenry as he
was the owner at one time of the
building now used by the Free Press.
The other was a stranger from Wis
consin by the name of Hammerly who
was helping thresh at the time of the
fire. The bodies burned to a crisp
and were hard to be recognized even
by Immediate friends. The funeral
services were held at Kensal over the
remains of Mr.. Barnes while the other
was taken to Courtenay, to await the
arrival of brother from Wisconsin.

Horse Lost Tall

Walhalla Mountaineer: A horrible
accident happened to one Of Jerry Der
ringers horses while he was help
ing thresh on Thursday. He was
drawing sheaves to the machine and
had just driven up with a'load, when
the hair of the tail of one Of the horses
caught in the shaker belt and was car
.ricd to the cylinder pulley, where it
wound up and pulled the tail entirely
from the animal, bone and all, about
three inches Of the backbone coming
away with the tail. This is the sec
ond accident reported in the state
during the last week, of almost an
identical nature, and should be a
warning to teamsters to keep their
horses far enough from the machines
to prevent the wind from blowing
their tails in contact with the run
ming parts.

Andrew Joos says he has not finished
threshing yet, but is more than pleased
with the yield so far. He tells us that
three years ago he sowed 100 acres to
flax and harvested good crop. Last
year he disced that field and sowed
barley and got good yield and this
year the same field was disced again
and sowed to wheat and yielded better
than 20 bushels to the acre. Two

ing is paying farmer well tor bis

Small fruits Thrive.

@, B. WaldfOn of the North Dakota
Agricultural College, in The North
Dakota Farmer: No new varieties
of currants and raspberries were
planted last season and we have noth-
to report upon these fruits further
than was published in Bulletin No.
so Issued year ago.
The Cardinal and Colorado Iron
Clad raspberries both endured last
winter without protection and yielded
well last season.
Considerable attention was given to
strawberries and good results were
obtained. Promising varieties that,
hitherto had been grown only In the
trial bed were given an opportunity to
show what they would do when grown
in q larger way.
A bed of four-tenths OF an acre
planted to the New York, North Da-
kota, Sample, Warfield, Senator Dun
lap, Bederwood and VIM. Belt came
into tearing last year. These varte-
ties had all shown up well in the trial
bed and it was to be expected that
they would make a reasonable good
account of themselves anywhere. AS
the different varietles had been plant-
ed at different times twas lmpossib ible
to establish an exact comparison be-
tween them. With the exception OF
the North Dakota they all yielded
well. This variety seems very thrifty
and may do better another season. u L

Articles.

On the above dates will occur the
annual Harvest Festival OF the local

tention called to the occasion to pre-
pare to donate articles and supplies as
we'll as cash contributions for the
work Of the Army. The l"Salvation
Army" work thruout the country is
something wonderful. No one in dis
tress, who is looking for needed assis-
tance, and has genuine cause for
distress, applies to the Army in vain.
The homeless, the hopeless men and
women are encouraged and aided in
leading better lives. The expense OF
this work is great and the Army itself
depends upon the contributions and
the generosity of the public to carry
on this great work. -..--.
The Army just now is making a
special effort to raise funds, and they
are asking for not only cash but arti-
cles that can be converted into cash.
We append a full list of articles asked
for: 49, =
Fruits, flowers, canned goods, vege-
tables fish, meat, chickens, live stock,
corn, coca, books, pictures, iewelry,
shoes, coal, wood, tools, breakfast
foods, wheat, oatmeal, condensed milk,

actual utility may be given asa an Offer
ing at this Festival, for what may not
be locally useful may be Of high prac-
tical value in less favored parts in The
Army's national field. There is, In
fact, saying, humorous, but true,
that The Salvation Army can find
good use both for people and things
that no other body in creation would
consider. i. at.s&.z4.<s ~

RIGHT TO PUBLIC
 TIMBER
Important Decision Rendered by
 The Supreme Court

According to the Prescott Her. aid the United States Supreme Court has decided the case of the United States vs. the United Yer de Mining Company, of Arizona, which was proceeding to recover S3S,OOO on account of timber cut from the public lands and us- ed in roasting ore. The act of January 8, 1878, gave authority to the citizens to cut timber for agricultural, mining and other domestic purposes" and also gave the secretary of the interior authority to make regulations for the execution of the law. One ot the rules prescribed direct ed that timber should not be used for smeltine purposes, and it was contended that the roast ing of ore is a smelting process.
 The opinion was by Justice McKenna, who held that the words domestic purposes" in cluded the roasting of ore, and that the mining company was entitled to timber on the public land for that purpose. He also held that the secretary had no authority to promulgate regu- lation extending the scope of the law, as would be the effect in the case if ore roasting was to be construed as ore smelting. The opinion confirmed the decision of the Arizona supreme court.
 Justices Harlan, Brown and Peckham united in a dissenting opinion based on the theory that ore roasting is not a domestic process.

Big Wyoming Dam

The Shoshone River dashes down narrow canyon, with jagged and perpendicular walls, and at it's narrowest point the government has begun the con- struction of the highest dam ev- CT built. It will cement together the two canyon walls for 24O feet above the stream bed and its foundation will go SS feet ad- ditional down to the solid bed rock. The stream, where it pass es between these canyon walls, is but 65 feet wide and the dam will form a great lake of 5000 acres, with watershed of 1, ,25O square miles, and storing enough water to irrigate 15O,OOO acres through seven miles of IA foot tunnels bored in the solid rock.
 This will cost about $25 an acre to be paid back to the gov ernment by the settlers under the business like provision of the ir- rigation law. The land itself is free under the homestead act and has been reserved by Secre- tary Hitchcock from entry under the Desert and other land laws not requiring actual residence and home building.-St. Johns Herald.
