MAUD ZIMMERMAN
A HEROINE
Fifteen Year old Kenmare Girl is Badly Frozen
In an Effort to Save her Sick Mother and
Younger Members Of Family.

Kenmare sends a heroine to the
county hospital in the person OF
Maud Zimalerman, a fifteen year
old girl who was nearly frozen to
death in her effort to save her
sick mother and two younger
children from perishing from the
cold.
A few days ago the Zimmerman
shack in the country not far
from kenmare caught fire. The
weather was windy thatmorning
and the stove pipe was blown
down. The house soon caught
fire and as the members of the
family had just arisen from their
beds, they were very scantly
clothed.
In their efforts to save the
house from burning, they forgot
to save any clothes or household
goods and soon were driven out
into the cold with little wear and
nothing to eat They dared not
leave for the home of a neighbor

death. The e was a storm shed
near the house and into this the
smaller children and the mother
we're placed. Maud covered them
with hay and then covered her
self as best she could. The hay
kept falling from the mother and
children and frequently Maud
got up and recovered them.
This caused her to get very
cold and her feet were badly
frozen. Her toes and heels are
in very bad shape and her fingers
were frozen a little. They were
compelled to stay IN that sod

Has Been Located at Peter Ehr's Farm a
Mile From Minot---Uncle Sam Will For
nish Seeds, Grain, Trees and Shrubbery.
Peter Ehr sOWed four acres

Peter Ehr sowed four acres
alfalfa at his farm a short dis
tance southeast of town in the
valley and cut two excellent
crops Of hay.
The first cropcontained agood
many weeds, as the land was
flooded in the spring and the
weeds got a good start. But the
second crop grew about afooto1'
eighteen inches high and was as
pretty as any field ofalfalfa which
was ever raised. MIR. Ehr be-
lieves that alfalfa in North Da-
kota will pay very well and is
awaiting anxiously the coming
Of spring when he hopes the al
falfa will shoot up without any
further ceremony.
Mr.. Ehr sowed fifteen acres to
bronze grass with oats last sum
mer, but OF course did not NOW
any of the bronze last season.
He hopes to have a good crop OF
bronze this year. Mr.. Ehr has
one of the most fertile farms in
the county.
Chas. j. Brand, representing
the agricultural department. OF
the United States, was here re-
Gently and made arrangements
with Mr.. Ehr to start an expert

The government will furnish
Mr.. Ehr with what seeds, trees,
bushes and grain he wishes free

should cause him any loss, the
government will stand that loss.

anything, the government will
gladly pay him the damage.
Mr.. Ehr will receive the pro-
duct Of his farm.
He has seven acres Of land
summer fallowed and 25 acres Of
the land which he will devote to
experimental work.
The government will furnish
him with an entirely new va
riety Of oats and a new kind OF
wheat obtained in Russia. Mr..
Ehr will have seed for sale which
will not cost the farmer much.
The government is anxious to
develop the farming resources
and take this way ofintroducing
the seeds. Mr.. Ehr is a good
man to look after the work. He
is a practical farmer and has
made a success Of whatever he
has ever undertaken.
An experimental station for
Minot means a good deal for the
farmers OF the Northwest. Thus
we have another recognition.

About the Proposed New 500 Line

About the Proposed New 500 Line
From what we can learn from
various sources there is but very
little doubt but the 500 railroad
will be built from Thief River
Falls, Minnesota, to some point
in Western North Dakota the
coming summer. But wether it
will build so as to strike Lans-
ford, Russell and Kenmare is a
question. The officials OF the
road have apparently done no.
thing definite this side OF Omemee
and they may go up into Canada
on the other side OF the Mouse as
to go any place else. Right-of-
way men for the 500 have been
at Lansford but have not made
any purchases yet. Engineers
for the road are at work on a
new survey south Of Mohall and
west to Fiaxton, the claim being
made that Kenmare is very diff
cult OF access on account Of the
hills surrounding the town. Also
there is talk OF the road building
up into Canada, crossing the
Bottineau branch OF the Great
Northern near Westhope. The
only thing that seems certain at
this time is that the road will be
built-but whether twill bullion
this side OF Omemee is adoubtful
question.
The Great Northern is reported
as buying right-of-way north
from Denbig'.. However this.ru
NOR cannot be substantiated.
The farmers near Lansford are
said to be asking fancy prices for
their land. 1t is reported some
want $50 an acre which the
owners say is very cheap consid-
ering the real worth of the land
and the damage done the farm
by being cut up with a railrod.
