Chas. Funderberg, the Surrey farm
err, returned from Wenatchee, Wash,
where he bought seven acres of ir-
rigated land for $4,000. The land
is covered with bearing fruit and nut
trees and is considered a very valu-
able piece Of property. He expects
to hold a sale soon and in the spring
will likely move to that state. The
people of this part of the state will
be sorry to- lost Mr.. Funderberg for
he is considered one Of our best far
mers.
J. N. Elveback who took
charge of the Grand Forks Eve
ming Times about three months
ago, has made a far different
looking paper Of it, and the
change is for the better. The
Times is gotten up in an admir-
able manner.
J. S. Wallace has opened a new coal
mine at Burlington, right in the heart
of the town. The mine lies within 800
feet of the track. Mr.. Wallace is
selling all the coal he can possibly
put out to the farmers. but next year
he expects to ship to the surrounding
towns. Mr.. Wallace leased the coal
land from the Mouse River Ignite
Coal Company. for a period of years
and last September dug back into the
hill 300 feet, striking a nine and
half foot vein Of fine coal. This is

Some Of them are obnoxious to
the railroads and there will be

of the state will watch the legis-

Sam PompeIIi PardOned.

Thru the efforts of F. 3. LAM
bert, one Of Minot's leading at
torneys, Sam Pompelli was
granted a complete pardon by
the board OF pardons last week
and has been liberated from the
penltentiary at Bismarck. Pom
pelli was sent up for three years
for obtaining money under false
pretenses, and has been in the
pen since August, 1905. While
waiting trial in Minot he escap-
ed from the Jail in the dead of
winter by picking several bricks
from the wall OF the Jail. This
was in very cold weather. He
could not get away very far on
account of the cold weather and
was soon recaptured. This prob
ably augmented his sentence to
a degree.
Mr.. Lambert also succeeded in
reducing the sentence of James
Wheeler, sent up for six years
for sodomv from SIX Years to
two years. Wheeler will soon be
given his liberty.

This week the independent
places before the public twenty
page paper, not a special edition
but just the size necessary to
take care OF our ordinary run OF
business. 1t is doubtful il there
is a city in the state that can al
ford so large q weekly paper.
The business men of Minot de-
serve all the credit. This is by
great odds the largest Taper
ever gotten out in Minot or the
northwest for that matter.

DAYLIGHT AHEAD.
The Latest Stage In the EvOlu
ti0n of the Electric
Light.

Firehies are still in advance OF
mankind in the matter of economical
light producing. The phosphoreS-
cent glow which they give off is near.
ly pure light. Very little of the en-
ergy is wasted in heat. while in the
case of the lighting devised by man
power Is used up in producing heat,
which is usually not wanted, than is
converted into visible light.
The nearest we have yet come to
following the firefies is the incury
vapor light developed by American
inventors, which, in the form of long,
glowing tubes. has been seen in our
shop windows as advertisements for
two years or more.
They produce more light at less
cost than any other practical method
of illumination, and would be eX-
tensively used if it were not for the
color of the light. 1t contains no
red rays. but is strongest in the vio-
let end of spectrum, extending far
beyond the limits of visibility in
that direction and including an album
dance of rays that we can photo
tograph, but can not see.
This mercury glow light has made
the while you wait photography"
of the pleasure parks a possibility,
but it is too CHASTITY for common use.
1t will turn a parlor into a morgue
or seance room.
But recently it is reported that
German chemists have overcome
this difficulty by putting into the ell
ectrodes other metals besides mer-
curry. thus changing the character
of the light and making it approach
light of common day.
Zinc with 10 per cent of bismuth
and trace of sodium is used for
this purpose. II this proves prac-
teal we shall have our houses cheap
ly lighted by softly glowing tubes
arranged in all sorts artistic designs
on the walls and ceilings instead of
one or more points of light too bright
to look at directly.

Mo0aShine In New York.

Don't talk to me about moon
shine in Kentucky" said the Inter-
nal Revenue Agent. There's more
moonshining going on all the time in
New York than could be done in ten
Kentuckys. In the crowded sections
of the East and West sides, stills
spring up right along and for a while
conduct a hourishing business. 1t
doesn't take much trouble to equip
a still with corn and yeast. The
great difficulty is in getting rid of
the peculiar smoke and odor without
exciting suspicious. This is usually
attempted by running the still incon-
nection with dye shop or some 9TH
er chemical enterprise as blind"

FINANCING PLAN
Completed by Green River District
Committee Last
Saturday.

The finance committe of the Green
river district, American Society OF
Equity. met in Greensboro Saturday
for the purpose of completing ar
rangements for the handling of the
1906 crop of tobacco. The business
before the committee was principal
ly that of routine. The plan of fl
nancing and handling is practically
the same as last year except that
such of the crop as is pooled with the
Davies County Equity Warehouse
company will be financed through
local institutions. The remainder of
the crop will be financed under the
old agreement with the Louisville
Warehouse company.
All of the counties in the district
were represented at the meeting.

Old Bounce.

Dat coon am coming down de tree,

In dat barn-yard after dat fat goose;
For good old Bounce will have

Since that Legislature made it so,
Dat old Bounce can no longer run

Dat de best friend had, must go
To de bone yard or be taxed dis very

And. Oh! dis old niger just cry,
When he thinks dat old bounce must

For de tax is more dan dis niger

Just think of dat big possom fat,
Sweet taters and de like of dat,
And you stir dis good, old darkey's
heart;

Watching dat possom in de log,
And from him he would never de-
part.

De good Lord and my country too;
More dan de old tongne can ever tell;
But when dat good old dog is
gone

Goodbye, here | goes for dat old

To treat dis niger and his deggie so.

To pity and der poor soles take
If not, to de debil dey surely go.

And send de Debil after some
Who wants to tax dat old possom

Not big enough to hold it all,
But some one is sure, acting de

Upon de niggers and their doggies,

Good Roads are Money Makers.


New York sets good example to
Kentucky and all other States in its
plan to spend $50, 10000 to 500, 000.-
900 on the improvement of its roads.
Good roads are always a good in
vestments, and it is the economic val
ue Of the Improvement that is APP
pea!ing SO strongly to New York
people as to move them to the pro-
posed expenditures. The experts
have figured that the economic waste
caused 10y bad roads in the empire
State, and which will be eliminated
by the new system, accounts to $685.
10000 yearly. This is surley worth
considering. There is another sub
stantial tact to be borne in mind,
moreover. The value of farm lands
contiguous To the improved high
ways will be increased from So to 50
an acre. Thus the out lay will
put money into the farmers purses
as We. as render their transporta-
ton faculties better, reduce the cost
of sending their produce to market
ami make lite more pleasant by stlm-
.ula,n. social relations among neigh
ibors. Not only will the farmers be

THE BROWNS VISIT MARION
Street Singing and Preaching
For Last Several Days.
They Are Composed of Two Fam
lilies and Have Been Trav-
eli ng for Several Years.

The Browns are here says the
Crittenden Record. Crittend er
county and Marion people will re-
rnember the Browns. They have
been coming to Marion every year
fox some time and generally hold
services in the court house yard.
Sometimes they stand on the side
of the pavements and from there
they sing, pray, exhort, testify and
preach.
They are composed of two fami-
lies The oldest and largest man is
Mr.. Granville Overton Brown and
he is the minister. His family with
him is composed of Ida Brown,
Giraffe Brown, Mary Brown, Weber
Brown and Wilbur Brown. The
smaller man is MIR. Henry Logan
Brown and his family with him is
Annie Brown, Clifton Brown, Josie
Brown and Leila Brown.
These people are from Ohio cour-
ty, Kentucky. Their former home
is on Green. river seven miles above
Livermore and twelve miles from
Hartford.
These two Brown families have
been travelling five years and have
been in several different States.
They travel by train, or livery team,
or boat and when located in city
during the winter time are self sup
porting, Last winter they stayed
near Hartford. Winter before last
they stayed in Kansas City, Mo.
When the Browns were here be-
fore, there were two girls with them
that are not with them now. 1t
seems that cupid played an important
part and they both married. One lives
in Paducah and one in Beech Grove,
ny.
These people all belonged to the
Southern Methodist church and were
all raised in that church.
They leave here this week and go
to Tolu. From there they go to
Paducah where they will spend the
winter.
These Browns are certainly peo-
pie who are dead in earnest. When
a man will sell his property and give
the proceeds away and start to
preaching and trust the Lord for
every thing, it stands to reason he is
dead in earnest. Also, there are the
dependent families to think Of.
They must be in earnest and they
must be honest, but whether their
course is eXpedient or not we are not
prepared TO say.
