New York. Oct. 23.-The solitary
survivor Of the thirty-three men who
went adrift On barge or houseboat
from lower Matacombi Key on the
coast Of Florida during the terrific
gale of Oct Is, was brought into this
port today by the steamer Ell Paso.
He is John Russell of Salem, Fla, and
he declared that he saw eight of the
thirty-two drowned. and believes that
all of them went down when the barge
fOundered.
Russell was adrift in a stormy sea
nearly two days and nights, clinging
to bits Of wreckage, when the Ell Paso
picked him up. He was about ex-
hausted. He says eight of the thirty
two men with him were beaten un-
conscious by wreckage. among which
they were thrown when the barge
went down.

perity Of the community in which it
finds its home is the foundation Of
its own prosperity aud to this end is
ever ready to use it's every energy
to the building up of Grand Forks and

the things which called it into exist
ence and these are the things BY which
it will continue to live and prosper.

Judge Engerud gives as one of his
reasons for opposing Knauf's election
as judge Of the supreme court that the
nomination was made by a conven-
ton that was dominated bv a boss.
Judge Engerud evidently overlooks the
fact that the responsibility of his own
presence on the supreme bench lies
with republican convention that was
dominated to fully as great an extent
by boss as was the Jamestown gath
ering-and 1t was not under pri-
mary election law either.

ments Looked For.

The city council met last night and
the report Of the special light com
mittee was heard. 1t was decided
Sunday at meeting of the committee
to accept the bid of the Grand Forks
Gas & Electric Co. for q direct cur
rent at cents per kilowatt as the
use of an alternating current would
necessitate many changes in the plant.
After considerable discussion the
matter of letting the contract was de-
ferred for week so that Mr.. Healy
might have an opportunity of show
Ing way in which the alternating
current can be used probably.
There Is much discussion over town
In regard to the matter and some talk
Is rife of calling a mass meeting to
talk the matter over. 1t is claimed
that after the five year contract at 3
cents a kilowatt has expired, the gas
company can raise he price to S and
6 cents per kilowatt and the city will
have to stand the raise for by that
time the city electrical apparatus
which during the meantime has lain
idle, will have deteriorated to such an
extent that an entirely new plan,
would have to be installed II the city
wished to take charge again.
The sentiment of the council is that
w. ]. Murphy's bid should be ac-
cepted.

AN EDUCATION.

1, is probable that the greatest cam
paign ever waged in this state is being
conducted at this time, and The results
are not OF momentary consideration.
1t is unfortunately true that in states
having excessively large political
majorities the people do not have an
opportunity Of hearing the political
issues discussed and they are not SO
keenly alive to the immense advant-
ages which come from party euprem-
acy as do those in the more evenly
balanced states where the political
battles rage the f1ercest.
The people under these conditions
lose sight of the great fundamental
issue Of the tariff which in latter years
has been the paramount issue be-
tween the two parties. They forget
in few years the horrible conditions
which confronted the people i'm
mediately following the enactment Of
a democratic tariff law. They forget
the history of the democratic party
before the rebellion when its every
energy was bent not only to defeat
the republican party, but when the
states which were solidly democratic
and which have remained go to this
day, refused to longer remain in the
union because the republican party
had been successful In the national
election.
The democratic party it Is true is
seeking to hide the evidences of its
incapacity to legislate in the interests
of the people. It sneeringly claims
that its opponents have nothing except
its skeleton in the closet to drag out.
voters and workmfwy mfwy pmfwy
Consequently 1t attempts to placate
the voters and work a non-partisan
program upon them in the interests of
what it has the audacity to call re-
form.
Every few years It is necessary to
revive the history of the democratic
party and freshen the public mind
upon the egregious blunders which 1t
has made and the real purpose Of the
party we're it entrusted with mower.
That is just what is being done in
this state in this campaign. The books
in the handwriting of democracy have
been opened and the public has been
asked to read for itself. There is the
record of what the party has done
for the people of the country. There
are the reasons why every man wheth-
er farmer, merchant, mechanic or
capitalist has suffered when that party
was in power. Then the voters can
see that the pretense OF reform is
merely subterfuge to secure the
Offices which the party could not get
upon a party issue clearly drawn
and we'll presented, and that their
pretense Of non partisanship is merely
a dust raised to keep the general
public from investigating the party's
record. The result of the campaign
of education will be the biggest re-
publican vote and the biggest republi-
can majority ever seen in the state.

way to use the sign Of the possessiye
after a noun ending in s. Good usage
Is about equally divided in the matter,
so that either Jones' hat or Jones's hat
may be considered correct. Literally
speaking, however, Jones's hat is to be
preferred, for the possessive form is
nothing but contraction of his" the
original form having been "Jones his
hat" and most grammarians say that
we should give recognition in the sound
to the contracted pronoun. Goold
Browns grammar says, "To avoid
concurrence oe Kissing sounds the is
sometimes omitted, and the apostrophe
alone retained to mark the possessiYc

place are 1 by ~ inches, placed three
and half inches apart, up and down.
This house holds 500 bushels of ear
corn in the racks, and there is space
for saving $50 to 200 bushels in the
attic, SO to speak.
The house is three feet above the
ground and set on posts ten inches in
diameter, surmounted on the top by
tin, so that it is mouse proof. 1t is
covered with Notwithstanding on the
outside, has window in each end,
door and two windows on each side,
with window in each gable In the
floor there are three or four openings
made by Laking up three boards.
These places and the lower windows
are covered with wire netting to pre-
cupola on the roof, with Stats in the
sides, completes the ventilating scheme.
Particular attention is called to the
necessity of having free circulation
of air. This is accomplished by the
openings in the floor and windows.
With that arrangement Mr.. Grout, on
whose farm the house Is built, states
that he has had no trouble in securing
complete drying out of his seed corn.
He especially emphasizes the necessity
of having the openings in the floor, as
these induce perfect ventilation.
Should the weather be warm and
wet during the harvest period or later,
before the corn is thoroughly dried,
small stove may be used to heat the
air and cause circulation. Around the
base a twelve inch board is placed.
This completes the house and makes
it one of the most effective in Illinois.
If your seed is dried out thoroughly
in this way before the cold weather
sets in the percentage of kernels that
will not germinate is reduced to the
minimum.

The hill lands of Georgia are not

steep hillsides. Around such hills
there are bands or terraces thrown
up with great care to stop the down
ward rush of water, and thus the
washing tendency is checked as soon
as begun. These belts of firm sod land
are most effective, They rise one above

1t must possess sufficient strength to
meet the demands OF general farm use;
third, It must not be subject to decay
and must be able to withstand success
fully the effects of water, frost and
fire. Although iron posts of various
designs are frequently used for orna-
mental purposes, theii adoption for
general farm use is prohibited by their
excessive cost Then, too, iron posts
exposed to the weather are subject to
corrosion, to prevent which they should
be repalnted from time to time. and
this item will entail considerable ex-
pence in cases where a large number Of
posts are to be used.
At the present time the material
which seems most nearly to meet these
requirements Is REINFORCED concrete
The idea of constructing fence posts
of concrete REINFORCED with iron or
steel Is by no means new one, but on
the contrary such posts have been ex-
perimented with for years, and a great
number of patents have been issued
covering many of the possible forms of
reinforcement. 1t Is frequently stated
that q REINFORCED concrete post can be
made and put in the ground for the
same price as wooden post. OF
course this will depend in any locality
upon the relative value of wood and
the various materials which go to make
up the concrete post, but in the great
majority of cases wood will prove the
cheaper material in regard to first cost
On the other hand, concrete post will
last indefinitely, its strength increasing
with age, whereas the wooden post
must be replaced at short intervals,
probably making it more expensive in
the long run.
In regard to strength, 1t must be
borne in mind that it is not practical
BILE to make concrete fence posts as
strong as wooden posts of the same
size, but since wooden posts, as rule,
are many times stronger nan is neces-
sary this difference in strength should
not condemn the use of REINFORCED
concrete for this purpose. Moreover,
strength in many cases Is of little i'm
portance, the fence being used only as
dividing line. and in such cases small
concrete posts provide ample strength
and present very uniform and neat
appearance. In any case to enable
concrete posts to withstand the loads
they are called upon to carry sufficient
strength may be secured by means
of reinforcement and where great
strength is required this may be OBJ
tained by using a larger post with .
greater proportion of metal and we'll
braced, as is usual In such cases. In
point of durability concrete is unsur
passed by any material of consnuc
ton. 1t offers perfect protection to
the metal reinforcement and is not
itself affected by exposure, so that Il
post constructed Of concrete re-enforc-
ed with steel will last indefinitely and
require no attention in the way OF re-
