Severely Burned in Explosion.

J. c. Utton was the victim of gas
oline explosion at his home early last
Saturday morning, when he was quite
badly burned on his left arm and on
the left side of his face and had his
hair and eyebrows singed. Mr.. Utton
was about to start the fire in the gaso-
line stove and, unmindfu1 of the fact
that a quantity of gasoline had been
running freely on account of an open
valve, applied a match with the above
result. The flames were quickly ex-
tinguished and no further damage was
done. A physician dressed Mr.. Ut
toms injuries and he was able, with
out any serious inconvenience, to at
tend to his duties in the civil en- gineer-
ing department of the Great Northern.

Returns to Washington,

Ole Kanikkeberg, of Everett, W ASH,
who had been spending some time in
Willmar and Dovre visiting with rela-
tives, left last evening on his return
trip to the coast While in this city
he was the guest of his sister, Mrs.
Botnen, who had at first planned to
accompany him to Everett.
Mr.. Kanikkeberg came from his
western home to undergo treatment at
a hospital in St. Paul. He had his
leg broken while operating a stump
puller about year ago. The leg had
not been set right, so he decided to
consult DR.. Boeckman and remained
under his care for some time in the
city. We are glad to state that he is
now greatly improved.

OUR UNIVERSITIES WORK.

The university will open its doors
in few days for another scholastic
year. At that time there will assemble
several hundred young men and wo-
men OF the state to be trained for the
higher duties of life. 1t will not only
mean much to the young people them
selves but to the future of the state
The work of the university does not
eject only the people who are edu-
acted within its walls but through
their influence it effects the genera
lions which follow them Should that
influence be uplifting, enrolling and
inspiring the work of the institution
will have not been in vain.
A college is measured by the char
acters which it develops in the men
and women which receive their train
ing in its halls. There is mistaken
idea that education, especially of the
higher class, consists in mental power
alone. This is not correct. 1t is true
that the difference between the edu-
Gated and the uneducated is that the
former having cultivated the mental
taste for that which is grand and
beautiful in the universe, finds his
pleasures and delights in the things
which constitute the wisdom and
learning of the ages; while the un-
educated, with his mental horizon linz
tied to the few things he has gathered
by contact with them, and not know
ing the great fields which lie beyond
the scope of his vision, finds his in the
sordid things OF life which appeal to
his fancy only. The former enjoys
the things which appeal to the noblest
sentiments OF the soul while the lat
ter delights only in those which please
his fancy.
This, however, is merely the result
of education.
The work Of the higher institutions
of learning is to instill into the STU
dent that great undefnable something
which gives TO men the power to rise
to the very highest demands made up-
on them and to become leaders among
their fellows. 1t is the development of
the highest principles of manhood with
all their refining and elevating in
fluences. Men may have intellectual
education without this. but they are
not educated.
And herein lies the great power of
the North Dakota university. A COL
lege without the men who make it is
only a name. 1t is the men who lend
1t their inspiration and whose influ-
ence and example become part of
the very atmosphere of the institu-

Cement was found in this country
as early as 1850, and was first used by
the Lehigh Valley Coal and Nayiga-
tor company.
The great Pennsylvania cement belt
extends from Fogelsville, Lower Mac
jingle, to the Lehigh Valley river at
Caplay 1t runs in a northeasterly d.
rection, and is the same belt that later
crops out in New Jersey. One com
pany alone employs an army of some
1000 men in connection with the
manufacture of its cement. There are
five prominent companies, and their
investment Is constantly being in
creased. for the demand for cement
has forced them to erect new mills.
and to install new machinery, whose
value combined would run into the
millions

most fineness, with uniformity of color

and stand forever, II so reQuired), de-
mands analytical skill of the highest
order.
There Is much of the romantic in
the discovery and development of the
cement region In this country as we'll
as In Northampton. Farmers who for
years had succeeded in making only
bare living from the stubborn soil
suddenly found themselves rich beyond
the widest flights of their imagina-
ton.
Barren, rocky soil, on which the
wild carrot, the goldenrod and the.
Russian thistle were always the most
bounteous harvests, and where the.
tiller OF the soil often damned the
rock which was yet to prove his for
tune, sold for hundreds of dollars per-
acre.
One afrmer sold his land for $780,
900. and, placing no rust in men or
banks, made them give him the money
in cash.
d. o. Saylor was the pioneer of the
cement industry in Pennsylvania, and
the mill in which he made the first
Portland cement is still standing.
The average price for good cement
rock is about $500 an acre, but the
soil that has limestone in it is virtually
worth almost any money. 1t even
pans out to beat gold, for a good acre
OF limestone land will pan out for it's
owner, so or $50 per day. An en-
ormous amount of limestone rock is
brought into the cement belt from
Sunville, Lebanon county, Pennsyl-
vania.
Once the rock is taken out of the
earth everything in. the manufacture
of cement Is done automatically. Ma
chinery carries it to the roasters;
from the roasters it is carried to the
crushers; from the crushers it goes
to the stockhouse, and from there to
the sacks or barrels without having
been touched by the workmen.
Mine Owned by Forks People.
In this state the cement industry is
Just In its infancy, though several
plants have been in operation in the
state for several years. Only recently
by the purchasing of the Portland
mines in the northern part of the
state by Grand Forks parties, however,
has the work been pushed or has the
largest mine been able to supply the
orders. In the mine under discussion,
new machinery of all classes has been
installed and for the first time the
industry is paying good dividends.

of Canadian wheat in bond. The plan
is one which shows the advantages of
our American methods. The houses
do not store the grain but merely
transfer it from the wagons in which
it is brought across the line to the
cars which are loaded and sealed so
that they cannot become mixed with
American grain.
Bonds are entered into that the
grain will be carried through the
country and sent back into Canada
at some eastern point, there to be
shipped as Canadian export. The
plan must not be confused with that
Of the Minneapolis millers who Sc
cured the wheat under bond and in
stead of merely carrying it through
the country, stopped it en- route and
manufactured it into flour. much of
which probably found its way into the
home market and took the place of
so much OF the products of our own
farms.
The bonded wheat has no effect up
on the market of the home crop as it
is merely handled on this side of the
line and carried over the railroads
in the United States rather than in
Canada. The buyers receive the profit
in handling it and the railroads the
profit of transportation. 1t thus in
creases our business without becoming
competitor in our market.
If the people across the border were
alive to their business interests they
would arrange for the handling of the
crop on that side of the line. But in
that as in banking they find it much
to their advantage to become so to
speak American citizens for the time
being. The building OF the branch
lines to the international boundary
and in a number of instances parallel
ing it, and the establishment of towns
almost on the line was far better
business proposition to the railroad
and business interests than would ap-
pear at first glance.

Great as is the requirement OF the
age the university of this state is fully
able to meet it. The men who form
the life springs of the institution are
the peers of any in the land. They
are loyal and devoted to their work,
and those who come under their in
fluence gather a spirit Of earnestness
and application which can not but
make them successful in whatever
work they may undertake. More than
this, they become imbued with the
spirit which combines the mental pow
er with that higher one of the soul
and enables them to become masters
in their chosen walks of life.

While the building of low-priced
concrte houses is still in its infancy,
the farmer has been so impressed with
the idea that he is extending it to his
barns and out buildings, and finding
that 1T works admirably.
Ii more than one concrete building
is put up by the farmer, he can use
his same wooden worms over and over
again, and If there Is a stone crusher
IN the neighborhOOd he can utilize in
making his concrete the old stone
walls of the neighborhood, or the
thousands of stones that are constant

is used. In fact one apartment of a
hotel has been occupied with complete
absence of any discomfort to the guests
while new walls of concrete were be-
ing put up within a few feet.
Railroads Adopting Cement.
Inc big railroads are all adopting
the cement bridge 1t is cheaper, more
enduring, more quickly erected, and it
releases the builders from slavery to
the steel mills. The tremendous boom
in cement building is shown by the
difference in the output of cement now
and eight years ago. In 1897, this
country produced about a million and
half barrels. Last year this had
grown to twenty-six and half mil
lion, and the total for 1906 will ex-
coed even this great amount.
Fortunately the supply is virtually
unlimited. The Lehigh Valley region
in PENNSYLVANIA alone can turn out
twenty million barrels year indefin-
itely.

OUR BONDED WAREHOUSES;.

The business interests of the United
States are moving the boundary lines
few miles further toward the pole
each year. This is done not by revo-
luton and the abolition of the political
powers OF the dominion court but by
applying some of our energetic bust
ness principles to the conditions
across the line.
At nearly every one of the towns
in close proximity on the south to the
Canadian line have been established
bonded warehouses for the handling
