Dreams of His Chickens.

There are times when man
gets sick of even a good bargain,
and would like to have some one
help him let loose tor a time, and
such is about the condition that
confronts F. L. Miller, the chick
ell fancier. Although he weighs
something less than 900 pounds
and is naturally fairly robust,
Mr.. Miller suffers with headaches
and fears nervous prostration be-
fore the season for chicken hatch
ing is over.
When he embarked in the
poultry business on his goa re
ranch just west of town, Mr..
Miller did not anticipate that he
might have to be chief cook and
day nurse for hundreds of shrek
ing, feathered orphans; but such
he is.
Out at the rauch there are al
ready 1900 noisy young chickens
hatched in the incubators, and
1900 more eggs to hatch. The
Matching season began about the
first of March.
F.. The latest addition to the
ranch is a house to accommodate
1000 laying hens. The first load
of lumber for this building was
hauled Friday and Billy Baker
is doing the work. The house is
to be 500 teet long, extending en-.
tirely across the ranch from north
to south. 1t will be in the CEN
ter of the field and so arranged
that the hens will have access tc
one half the field at one time.
The yards will be sown to rape,
and when one is fed out the hens
will be turned into the fresh
pasture and the barren one seeded
again.
All these chickens are thor.
ough- bred, although the eggs vii
be marketed, except such as are
sold for breeding purposes.
Another item about the ranch
that would especially interes
fanciers or poultry men, is a two
story breeder house that has &C
commodations for 24oo youns
chickens.
It is warmed by water which
is heated by gasoline, and ha.
every other convenience tha
modern ingenuity can devise ant
skill produce, in such houses.
Mr.. Miller has kept man OF
the ranch to care for the poultry
the past year, but he is now doing
the work himself and the assist

MAYOR DUIs RETURNS.
From Trip South 10 Implement Deal.
er's Convention.

Yesterday evening Mayor George E.
Duis returned from his extended visit
to the. south and east. He was alb
sent from the city nearly three weeks
but found things in first class condi-
ton when he made the rounds this
morning. Evidently the boys had not
been playing hockey while the chief
executive was absent from the city.
Mr.. Duis went to Kansas City on
Jan. IL to be present at the meeting
Of the National Federation of 1mple-
ment dealers. He was not q delegate
but was present as the president of
the North Dakota and Northwestern
Minnesota Implement Dealers associ-
alton and as chairman of the commit
] tee of the department Of threshers.
The committee did much valuable
work in the nature, of uniform con-
tracts, ETC., but nothing which would
be Of general interest. The gather
ing at Kansas City was one of the
best. in the history of the federation
and much valuable information was
CLEANED by Mayor Duis which will be
impaired to the convention of the N.
& d. & N. w. M. association which
shortly convenes In Crookston.
Mayor Duis also visited Richmond,
Ind, while absent, the home Of the

EXCITING EXPERIENCES.
Fargo Man Tells of the Pile Up OF G..
N. Traffic.

Manager Stewart of the Acme Har-
vester Co., returned last night, from
trip to Minot and points contiguous.
He said that to properly realize the
severity of the recent storm one should
have taken trip west from Grand
Forks last Tuesday. He went as far
as Rugby and between the Forks and
the later point it required six different
engines to get the train through and
they were over hours making the
journey. He had occasion to drive
from Rugby to Knox, fifteen miles. 1t
occupied over five hours and they were
upset five times. Between Rugby and
Willow City there are ninety cars of
wheat which the railroad people are
unable to move and they have declined
to put in any more cars until the
tracks are cleared. Up. to yesterday
/ there had been no trains to and fro
on the Maxbass branch. The inability
to move the wheat is having more or
less effect on the important matter of
collections. Mr.. Stewart says the In
fux Of new settlers to the northwest
ern part Of the state, even now is enor-
nous. Every train is crowded and the
outlook for largely increased farming
operations the coming spring Ia very
promising! Everywhere the encour-
aging prospects are the subject of
much comment among the men who
are keeping careful tab on general
conditions. Fargo Forum.

Unknown Resident Of This Side of the
River Comes Near Drowning.

Wednesday afternoon man who
claimed himself resident of this side
of the river was almost drowned d.
rectly under the N. P. bridge. The
accident happened while he was going
to cross the ice to the Minnesota side
Of the river, and just as he stepped on

where the sewers have prevented the
water from freezing solid When he
went into the icy water he started
yelling with a lusty voice and had it
not been for the prompt arrival of

have taken a cramp and gone to his

diately after he was pulled out of the
water he wanted to cross the ice at

States Attorney j. B. Wineman does
proprietors of the hotels and other
public buildings in Grand Forks
county relative to the enforcement of
the fire protection laws of the state
A few days since Mr.. Wineman sent
out notices to all hotel proprietors,
owners of rooming blocks, school
boards, manufacturers and all people
directly or indirectly connected with
the ownership or management of
buildings in which the public congre-
gates and which there is danger of
loss or injuries from fires. He noti-
fed such parties that unless they
complied with the provisions of the
state law which provides that every
room in hotel or rooming house
shall have fire escape and that the
fire escapes from assembly halls, fac
tories, school buildings, etc., must be
in compliance with the law as we'll as
the outward swinging doors on such
places.
There have been number of own

see the states attorney and others
have written and are willing to COM
ply with the law. They consider that
it is matter of self-interest and self
protection for them. to do SO. They
generally favor the rope ladder idea
from each room in hotels and board

in the next fortnight that every build
ing in Grand Forks and the county
will be provided with adequate fire
escapes, outward swinging doors and
rope fire escape from each room.
Mr.. Wineman does not anticipate any
trouble of any kind. He may have
to prosecute one or two men in the
county but does not anticipate much

tories won on the gridiron last fall
far surpassed the expectations of the
most ardent enthusiasts. With two
exceptions the University won every
game, the last game with the Ag-
ricultural College. resulting In a tie,
the score being IL to IL. The only
game which we really lost was that
played with Minnesota early in the
season. The score here was 35 to o in
favor of Minnesota. All the other.
Minnesota colleges went down in de-
feat to the "U" of N. D.
There are now over one hundred
students registered in the various
classes of the athletic department.
Many are doing work who have not,
as yet, enrolled. When the enroll
ment has been completed, the number
is expected to exceed that of last
year, which was the largest in the
history of the institution.
Here, as in SO many of the other
departments of the institution, there is
a great demand for room. The armory
where the work is carried on, is too
low to answer the purpose of gym

All kinds of general physical Gull
ture is offered, but the courses usually
preferred by the students are wand
practice, club swinging, basket ball,
boxing, and indoor base ball. Several
teams of basket ball have been organ

are, doing enthusiastic work. The
captains of the two first teams are

up to standard in every grade and the
attendance is much more than it has
ever been before. The next semester

The lecture given by Rev. William
Best Of the Mendenhall Memorial
church on Wednesday night on the
"Rambles Through Norway" was high
ly appreciated.
The lecture was illustrated with
stereopticon views that gave faithful
accuracy of the conditions and life of
the Norsemen, from the days CT the
Vikings to- the present.
The impression made by the views
of North Cape" and Midnight Sun"
cannot SO easily be forgotten. The
tinting and soft binding colors that
are produced by the sun are in GER
tain time of the year wonderful and
impressive.
Mr.. Best made for himself warm
spot in the hearts of his hearers and
especially the hearts of the Norwe-

future of hearing Mr.. Bert repeat the
lecture on the Land of the Midnight
