Falls From An Aeroplane

= sAA0 \ OAAA xAAA <ASAOkJAoAAS
Oakland, Cal.-An unsuccessful trial
was made by Prof. Montgomery's
aeroplane at Idora park, and it almost
resulted in serious injury to David
Wilkie, the aeronaut. At the height of
1900 feet Prof. Montgomery signaled
to descend. but the aeroplane did not
respond. Suddenly. however, it was
seen to drop from It's support, and a
shout went up from the spectators.
For single moment the aeroplane
remained on even keel, then it swerved
sharply, and began to fall in short cir
cles Clinging desperately to the frame
work of the airship, Wilkie could be
seen making frantic efforts to reg ain
control of the machine, and twice it
seemed that he had succeeded. Like a
wounded bird the aeroplane swept
downward, twice rlghting itself, only
to plunge again toward the earth.
The last time the machine f1oated on
even keel 1t was w1,hin a short dis
tance of the ground. and to this fact
Wilkie owes his life, for when the ma
chine started again toward the ground,
it had only few feet to fall. It struck
with force enough to wreck the ma
chine, but the aeronaut escaped with a
bad cash on the nose and number of
painful bruises.

fair living; the latter is the owner of
an improved ten acre fruit tract
valued the same, from which he ekes
fair living. The North Dakota farmer
to advance 81. must sell at an
increase of only trifle more than six
dollars an acre, whereas the ten acre
tract to attain that figure necessitates
the unnatural strain Of $10O per acre,
which is preposterous, especially when
top. notch prices are already in vogue.
Unimproved fruit lands can be ac-
quired at much lesser figure; be that
as it may, shall leave the reader to
determine the feasibility of doing the
grubbing stunt. Right here I wish to
say that the secret of immense profit
in farming consists not alone of
the bountiful harvest, but the increase
Of real estate values contributes its
just share. North Dakota is the proud
possessor of all these requisites. They
may be had to the north OF us in Can
ada and to the south of US in Cuba,
but are not to be found in the coast
states.
OF this fact no better proof can be
obtained than that advanced by native
residents who themselves hail from
all parts of the middle states. All as
one will say they left their former
homes too soon. showing conclusively
that while prices have increased here
they have practically been at stand.
still there.
OF North Dakota it can be truth
fully said that the more one travels
and acquaints himself elsewhere with
existing conditions the more thorough
ly he becomes impressed with the fact
that this state. is after all the one
state of rare opportunities. One would
do we'll not to ignore the fact that a
person making change should by all
means follow the vocation which he
has thoroughly mastered. Bear in
mind that any deviation from our pre-
sent mode of work calls for experience
in different lines, with which one is
unaccustomed. 1t is unnecessary for
me to state experience costs money.
Leave fruit raising to the fruit grover,
numbering to the lumberman, irriga-
tion to the irriagtor. or any other
change where ones ine4perience is
taxed. w..

AMITY
BY our special correspondent.


We are unfortunate in having a
corner in this district used as nui-
sance ground for Bottineau. It is a
poor thing to be near at best, but
when it is used as this one is, as a
dumping ground for dead dogs and
horses it becomes unbearable and
something must be done. In the first
place the location of it is not in accor.
dance with law, as it is in a corner
with a main road on two sides of it.
There are three dead horses now lying
within hundred feet of the road and
when the weather warns up the odor
that will greet you as you pass will
be anything but pleasant. Now we
have been foolish enough to put up
with this sort Of thing for two years
but our patience has reached the limit
and if there is not something done
very soon to right this wrong, there
will be stink kicked up worse than
that from the dumping grounds and
it will not be a mile and half from
town either. We do not blame the
men who haul these animals out for
you cannot expect man to pick a
hole in the forzen ground to bury a
horse, 80 all he can do is haul him
away out in the country where he won t
bother anybody-in town. Neither
can we blame the marshal. tor he
does his best to keep track Of those
who haul out these carcasses, and in
the spring orders them buried or
burned. Then they are buried. from
sight. by throwing on load OF litter
which only serves to make them rot a
little slower, and thus prolong the
torture, or they try to burn them aud
succeed in scorching the hair of one
side. But we do blame the town dads

A TIP
To those who would leave
North Dakota.

To those who contemplate leaving
North Dakota I feel it my duty to
impart the true and unprejudiced con.
ditions as observed from two winters
study and travel thluout the entire
western coast. '.'The West" can no
longer correctly apply to the Pacific.
Our sisters to the north, Saskatchewan
and Northern Alberta. can rightly lay
claim to the lost great west.
Farmers who would better them
selves and are not sensitive as to wea
ther conditions. if North Dakota must
needs be left behind, my urgent ad-
vice is, follow the natural trend Of the
present west. As it is, we are directly
in line with. all it's possibilities. It
is true the coast possesses a great eli
mate. I have yet to meet the man;
however. who is satisfied with any cli-
mate. no matter how ideal, if such a
person is not financially successful.
Railroad building is for the present
advancing coast prices, causing boom
values. The extensive speculation
along these lines ] attribute chiefly to
the minor quantity Of railroad con-
struction in the past, necessitating
the inexperienced to be treated to q
slump in prices before they become
competent to judge safer values.
From an agricultural standpoint the
coast is not attractive to one who
has lived in North Dakota. For ex-
ample we have q North Dakota far
mer and an Oregonian with equal
amounts invested in land within their
respective states. The North Dakota
farmer is the owner Of q quarter sec.
tion valued at 1900, producing 9
