The hogs having the eruption worst

another week they were sprayed with

With the exception of one pig that
appeared very rheumatic, having an
unusually large number of postules on
inner side of hind legs, the eruptions
seemed to give no particular trouble
beyond that of a general out-of-condi-
ton appearance from July until about
two weeks after dipping. We dipped

deaths occurred until the last week Of
September.
In only Que case were the postules
plentiful at the time of death. In this
case the ears swelled to the thick

swollen. This was an old SOW. We.

!. RAILROADS
A GREAT NORTHERN RESERVOIR.
Being Built At Casselton On Land
Recently Purchased.

AAVSVASAy uASuhSCus
Casselton Reporter: The Great
Northern Railway company wanted
the tract of land owned by Jos. Ian
ger and when it came to a show down
they were not long in taking it at
Mr.. Langer's price 800 per acre.
Condemnation proceedings were start
ed on Saturday, but Mr.. LANCER was
obdurate and consulted Attorney CAL
lahan. Evidently Mr.. Langer's quota
ton from President Jas. ]. Hills re-
cent speech-that every acre of North
Dakota land was worth $1OO-supple-
mented by the fact that delay cost
more than the difference in price
brought Right-of-way Agent .Averill
and his superiors to terms with Mr..
LANCER and his attorney, for on Mon
day the road agreed to take the thir-
ty-three and a half acres at Tia maxi
mum figure and the papers we're at
once made out and the draft drawn.
1t was soon apparent to any OBJ
server that the railroad had found
just the site they wanted, for a crew
of men were started Immediately to
put up village for the 200 laborers
that will soon be engaged upon the
big reservoir. Ten bunk houses are
now built--or nearly completed-a
dining room 1910 is enclosed and a
long kitchen is attached. Besides
these buildings there is to be a large
barn for the stock used, supply
house and magazine. A crew of
men are running a full sized rail-
way track out into the field. for the
transportation Of the two big steam
shovels now on q siding here, and for
such other uses as may be desired.
Once on the ground narrow guage
tracks will be laid for the dump cars.
The contract for the reservoir here
is no small one. 1t calls for $780,
600, and for work which will extend
over a period of four or five months
before entire completion. The basin
to be followed out will be 7OOx3OO
feet, and in the center is to be we'll
sunk go feet, while the general depth
will be fourteen feet. The removal
of the large amount of dirt will re-
quire blasting during the cold wealth
er, which explains the explosives that
are being taken to the site and put
at long distance from the buildings.
Day and night shifts of men will be
employed and the grounds will be
lighted when the labor is fairly under
way.
The location Of this costly piece of
work at CasseltOn shows that the
Great Northern intends to make this
an important station with their trains,
and in the future stranger things have
happened than that this should be-

appeared to be leaking" he took no
notice of the fact.
His paper for the day, like the
others he delivered, had been pre-

from the college. The accurate eye
Of the student who sat nearest him
had noted that it,appeared less bulky
than usual, but even he was not pre-
pared for what followed.
Right in the middle of a sentence
the professor stopped. He repeated
the opening words and again halted
at the same point. Looking up from
his desk, with just the slightest twin
kle in his eye, he said: .as
Gentlemen, the remainder Of this
sentence is two miles from here. The

4 Practical Test.

A tramp who was very hungry and
thirsty, called at a wayside inn and
walked into room where there were
several other men. He asked If they
would like to see some of his conjur-
ing tricks, and they said, Eyes," so
he inquired for three pieces of bread
and cheese.
When these were brought he said:
Before can proceed. must have
three hats" ~
The hats were placed upon the
table. and under each he placed a
piece of bread and cheese. He then
ate two of the pieces of bread and
cheese and asked for a glass of beer.
This being brought to him. he drank
1t, and then ate the last piece of bread
and cheese. He then inquired: "Un-
der which hat would you like the
bread to be placed?"
They pointed out to one of the
three. 80 he picked up the hat, and,
placing 1t on his head, walked out.

some SWINE DISEASE HISTORY.
dakota FarmerJ

The swine disease which has
wrought havoc in spots in South Da-
kota has been peculiar right from the
start. and this popularity has in,
large measure been responsible for the
heavy mortality among the hogs. The
fOrerunner of the final and more ser
ious attack (the eruptions alluded to
in former articles) was something new
and unknown to hog raisers in this
territory and while it was quite gen.
eral and created quite little stir at
the time. apparently it passed away
and farmers and breeders ceased to
worry. No one so far has been able
to- discover any direct connection be-
tween the two diseases, and yet when
the latter got to work, it favored the
herds and individuals which had previ-
Ously been afflicted~with the eruptions.
Possibly the facilitating effects of the
first ailment left the patient in the
right condition to fall victim to the
latter.
A swine breeder in southern South
akOta. who had very characteristic
series of cases all the way through,
sends us the complete history of the
disease as 1t appeared in his herd,
and we publish 1t herewith in full:
The first appearance of disease was
In July. Some of the sucking pigs of
May farrow did not seem to be doing
we'll. On examination we found pos
tuies on the more tenders part of the
body-on the inside of the legs and on
the belly. On opening these postules
they were found to contain some pus
and little proud flesh below a scab.
The postules varied in size from
little smaller than the diameter of a

second sickness (the bowel trouble)
that appeared the latter week of Sep
TENDER, and about Is per cent of those
affected died.
In all the hogs that died, the tender
part of the skin was Of purplish
color.
Those that recovered have regained
their flesh and good appearance and
today there is no Indication of disease
having been in the herd.-Dakota,
Farmer.

ALASKA RICH IN GAME.
Birds Plentiful in the Territory
Meeting With q Big Bear.

. r
j. E. Fishburn and Charles Finch
recently returned from four months
hunting and prospecting trip in Alas
ka, during which they visited the Cop
per river country, Dawson City, and
numerous coast points. The trip was
more than successful as sporting
venture, and the gentlemen are in
clined to believe It the greatest, game
country on earth.
Finch states that small game of all
sorts was plentiful enough to kill
with sticks, and seemed to have little
fear of man. Big game Of all sorts
could be had for the hunting, but some
of 1t was little too rich for the par
TVS blood.
On one occasion the hunters en-
countered a mammoth bear when look
ing for something smaller. They
were about to fire revolvers at it
when the guide interfered and insist
ed that they let the bear alone until
out cunning for him with the proper
equipment under penalty of suffering
the same fate as that melted out to
DR.. Jules Abramosky and his party
on Kadiak island few years ago,
when, in q horrible encounter with
one of the enormous bears that in
habit the place, both were done for by
the enraged brute, which fell only
after thirteen 1920 bullets had
pierced his carcass, number of
which failed to expand upon impact,
as they were designed to do.
Fishburn and Finch killed a great
deal of game of various sorts and
brought away some fine trophies.
The trip presents no special diff
culties other than the distance and
incidental expense.
Birds of all sorts were found more
than plentiful, there being no seasons
on feathered game. Ducks and geese
breed by millions in the tundra dur
ing the summer.-Los Angeles Times.

BOYS DIE IN LIME KILN.
Two Bodies Found-Fell Into Fire
While Sleeping,

New York, Feb. 1.-The charred
bodies of two boys-Albin Lambert,
of No. $50 Jackson-st., and Anthony
Morris, jr., Of Van Buren, and Glover
streets, Newark, were found yes
terday morning by Thomas
Cotton, driver. The spot has
been favorite resting place for
wanderers, who were attracted by the
heat. The kiln burns oyster shells to
powder. The lads ran away from
home several days ago. 1t is thought
they went to the place to escape the
cold and fell asleep on top of one of
the walls which form the sides of the
oven. They were probably overcome
by gas and rolled off into the heated
mass. Before going to the lime kiln
the boys tried to find place to sleep
In stable near by, but were driven
away.

FIELDS BROTHER HERE.
Arrives From Liverpool on the Arabic
Goes to Chicago.

New York, Feb. III. N! Field,
of Manchester, England, an elder bro
Their and business associate of the late
Marshall Field, arrived on the steam
er Arabic from Liverpool. He was
accompanied by Mrs. Field, and they
were met at the White Star pier by
Stanley Field, their son. who was with
the Chicago merchant when the latter
died at the Holland House.
The party went directly to the Hol-
land, where Stanley Field, who is as
sistant manager OF the Field stores in
Chicago, said:
l left Chicago before the provisions
of my uncle's will were announced,

Grated by stock company, and will,

CONFERENCE BEING HELD.
Third Brakeman to be Assigned to
Long Trains.

The desirability of assigning third
brakeman to long freight trains is be-
ing urged in the conferences now in
progress between General Superin-
tendent Gilbert of the Northern Paci-
f1c road and the joint general commit
tee of conductors and trainmen
(brakemen) at st. Paul.
At present the Northern Pacific
freight trains carry two brakemen
only. This was considered sufficient
up to short time ago. But since in
creased traffic and improved roadbed
and equipment have SO increased the
size of a freight" that 1t generally
consists of forty to seventy-five cars
the two brakemen, as the committee
argues, have more work than they cam
do. Considerations of safety and OF
ultimate economy are said to suggest
that third brakeman or flagman be
stationed in the caboose, or near at
hand so that he can act as brakeman
while the train is moving and as a
flagman whenever the train is acct
dentally halted.
The schedule of wages for conduc-
tors and brakemen will not be touch
ed upon by the committee, except that
on certain routes a scaling up" or
REIMBURSEMENT, of wages will be asked.
The conferences will presumably
continue during the greater part of
this week.
The conductors and brakemen Of
the Great Northern road continue to
meet nearly every day at the Office of
General Superintendent Slade.
In the case of both companies the
men feel assured of q satisfactory
agreement.

PRINTERS ARE
in TROUBLE
Job Printing Firms Seek to Have
Union Printers Barred From Pick.
etfng-Wm Serve Injunction.

There is trouble brewing for union
printers in Fargo according to the
Forum of last evening which says:
Charging acts of interference by
threats, intimidation, picketing and
bribery, the employing printers are go
ing to take legal action to restrain the
union printers from conducting the
strike in Fargo as heretofore.
Application was made late yesterday
afternoon to Judge Pollock for an or
der to show cause why an injunction
should not be issued but there was a
slight error in the documents and the
application will be presented again
this evening or tomorrow morning.
The application will be accompanied
by many aff1davits setting forth the
particulars of the illegal acts charged
by the master printers. The depart
ure Of Fred Harris from Fargo is one
Of the acts which will be called to the
attention of the court. 1t is claimed
that threats were made against Harris
and that he shortly thereafter left the
city. Particular instances of where
non-union printers were given from
$40 to $25 to leave the city will also
be cited. 1t is claimed that the local
union has expended n considerable
sum of money in buying railroad tick
cts for printers who have taken the
place OF strikers in Fargo and also
that some strike breakers are now
Kept on the pension" roll of the 10
cal union.
Affidavits indicating the picketins
methods of the strikers have also been
secured by Attorney John S. Frame OF
the firm of Newman, Holt & Frame
who represent the master printers. An
advertisement which appeared in Far-
go papers warning printers to keep
away from Fargo is the subject of an
other affidavit.
The application for the Injunction
will be made by the three printeries in
Fargo affected by the strike, Walker
Bros. & Hardy, Knight Printing Co.
and Porte Printing Co.

NORTHERN PACIFIC DAMAGE CASE
Motion To Dismiss In Waldron Case
Argued Yesterday.

A motion to dismiss the case of
Waldron ct. al. VS.. the Northern Paci-
fic Railway company was argued De-
fore Judge, Amidon in the federal
court at Fargo. The contention of At
torney Watson, who appeared for the
railway company, was that the court
did not have Jurisdiction In the case
for the reason that the plaintiffs and
the defendant are not residents of
North Dakota and that the case, there
fore, does not properly belong in the
federal court in this district. Judge
Amidon has taken the matter under
advisement.
The action was brought several
months ago to recover 5000 damages
on account OF delay ina shipment of
sheep from the western part of this
state to market 1t was claimed in the
complaint that on account OF the de-
lay. the owners of the sheep were not
able to obtain the best market price.
