of the country where they do

in the Northwest, and readers of the

generally make a mistake if they try

for the reason that here and there are
situations in which the plums do fairly
well. South of the Great Lakes and

LUMBERMEN SATISFIED.
Cold Weather Godsend to the Men
Men of the Forests.

According to lumbermen who reached
the city last evening the past week
of freezing weather has been worth
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
the lumber industry of the northwest.
In view of the rather mild winter the
loggers scarcely expected such condi-
tions as they are now enjoying. In
heavier volume than at any time during
the winter. The loggers look for a
breakup now at any time.
On account of the soft weather dur
ing the first week in March they were
prepared to see 1t come then. But
every day of freezing weather now is
considered velvet for the loggers. If
the sun makes roads soft during the
day, the loggers will turn day into
night and haul at night providing the
temperature turns cold enough after
shutdown to make good shippin'."
There are 31s feet of snow in the
woods and the prospects are that there
will be good stage of water in the
rivers when the breakup comes. The
only chance that the stage of water
may not be as good as at present in
dications promise, is that much of the
snow water may disappear into the
earth, there being little frost in the
ground. But the lumbermen take less
interest these days in the prospects
for good stage of water than in for
mer years, as the bulk of the logs are
now delivered by rail, even out of ter
ritory that is tributary to rivers.

MCCLELLAN is BANKRUPT,
Former Fargo Man Trusted Strangers
and Lost Much Money.

Three Fargo firms were affected to
the extent of $1.97O.79 by the failure
of George Mcclellan, a merchant at
Esmond. Nd. who has filed a petit
ton In bankruptcy with the clerk
OF the U. S. court at Fargo
The Fargo Mercantile company was
hit the hardest with a claim against
Mcclellan for $1,000. The Standard
OIL company is next with claim for
e91.95 and G. A. Everhart's losses
amount to $7S.S3. Numerous Mime
apolis, Duluth and ST. Louis business
houses were also affected by the fail
ure. McClellan's liabilities are $12,-
S65.SS. His assets are placed at ST.
649.87. but he claims exemptions to
the amount of e4625.
Mcclellan was formerly a resident
Of Fargo. Until he embarked In the
mercantile business at Esmond he was
employed by the First National bank
of that city.
At the Office of the Fargo Mercantile
company it was said that McClellans
tnexperience in dealing with strang-
ers was largely responsible for the
failure. He permitted himself to be
fnveigled into tarding stocks or cloth

speed skater, at distances of from one
to three miles Says the News Trib-

man, is champion of America, which
title he won two years ago AID has
held ever since, adding to his laurels
this winter by defeating Harley David
son, John Nilsson and John s. John
son, as we'll as several other crack

Rankin has had no less than fifteen
races this winter and has been defeat
ed only once when he and Baptie met
in Grand Forks, N. D. In this race
he was somewhat handicapped by the
size of the rink, which took twenty
laps to the mile. He is expected TO
make better showing on the Central
ice, which takes only nine laps. They
will race in distance of one-half mile.

Rankin is in good condition ,he will
give the Dakota boy one of the hardest
runs he has had this wi lter and pas

crop, but 1t was bad enough. While
1t was worse In some localities than
In others, there was enough to en-
danger the next crop to an alarming
degree, unless the seed grain is given
a thorough treatment with formalde-
hyde.
Since the new law went into effect
the weak and light weight formalde-
hyde has been driven from the state,
thanks to the legislative assembly and
the North Dakota experiment station.
If the average danger in North Dakota
from loss in yield and grade did not
exceed 81 per acre, it still amounted
to about s10,OO0,OOO, lost to the wheat
farmers of the state. Such leaks
should be stopped. Every bushel of
seed grain should be treated before

smut the seed appears to be it should

ure.
"Formaldehyde of proper strength
and weight can be purchased for about
rs cents per pound. 1t costs only about
cent per acre to treat the seed. Seed
wheat properly treated will terminate
quicker, make more rapid growth from
the start and will consequently repay
the labor and cost of treatment, many
times.
"The formula is a simple one: One
pound of formaldehype to forty-fve
gallons of water. Formaldehyde must
be sixteen ounces weight and 40 per
cent strength. Sprinkle on the wheat,
and rake or shoel until the wheat is
thoroughly moistened.
Where the expense and labor are
so slight and the rewards so great no
farmer can afford to take the chances
of producing smutted crop"

Smashed the Furniture.

A passenger who went through the
city this morning on the belated St.
Paul train caused a little commotion
at the depot while the train was start
ing to- pull out for the west. From
his actions it is quite probable that he
got on the cars at Ada or some other
place in the south section that we t
dry and were disposing of their
stocks at reduction rather than pay
freight on them in moving to the wet
sections of the country. At any rate
he figured that there was not enough
ventilation in the car that he occu-
pied and proceeded in very short or
der to knock the end glass out of the
door. Whether he started on the side
windows will be in the Fisher 'spe-
sial to the Times" tomorrow

WEAK AT DAWN AND EVE.
Tests To BE Made to Discover Cause
of This In Wireless Telegraphy.

Wireless telegraph tests are to be
made for the next thirty days by the
officers in charge of the various sta
lions established by the Navy Depart
ment, to determine, if possible, the
cause of the many failures to receive
and to send messages at sunrise and
sunset. Repeated tests have shown
this to be the case, and it is said that
the navy operators were the first to
make the discovery Of this strange
and important phenomenon.
Just why the power of the wireless
apparatus and the sound waves should
be at the lowest ebb at sunset, or at
sunrise, operators say may not be
difficult to ascertain, for it has long
been known that messages can be sent
by the system at night 40 per cent
better than in the daytime, especially
when the sun is shining There is
what is termed friction dissipation of
energy in transmission by day. 1t is
also known that foggy weather is more
favorable for sending and receivi lg
wireless messages than clear weather
SO naval officers familiar with cleo
trical subjects believe they will soon
be able to locate and remedy the al
legged defect at sunrise and sunset.
Commander Thomas w. Ryan and
Lieutenant Jackson, U. s. NJ, who are
in charge of the wireless equipment at
theBrooklyn Navy yard, intend to
make tests at once, and so does Mr..
Thatcher of the De Forest Wireless
Telegraph company, for they realize
that in time of war, or in any emer-
gency, it might be necessary to send
some of the most important messages
at that time of the day.

TO BUILD METAL CULvERrs.
Fargo Manufacturers Have q Practical
Product for Valley.

An important new manufacturing
industry has been added to Fargo.
Some months ago Messrs. O'Neall and
Ristine leased the Thomas Sykes ma
chine shop on Northern Pacific ave-
nue. and began preparations for the
manufacture of corrugated metal Gull
verts. The business has developed and
grown SO rapidly that it was found
more capital would be required, and
the business has now been incorporat-
ed under the name of the North Da-
kota Culyert Co. with capital stock
of $4,000. w. II. Ristine Is president,
e. HI. O'Neall is vice president and
manager. and HI. II. Jenkins, of the
we'll known firm of Ellsworth G. Jen-
kins. Is secretary and treasurer.
The company owns the exclusive
patent right for the manufacture of
these culverts In both North Dakota
and South Dakota. The superior value
of the culyert is no longer in the ex-
detrimental stage. there being now
nineteen manufactures engaged in
their production in the United States.
The culverts manufactured by the
company are of heavy corrugated
steel. made in all sizes from twelve
inches up to five feet in diameter, and
are much cheaper than vitrif1ed sewer
pipe or wooden culverts. They are
practically indistructible. and are not
affected by annual thawing and freez-
ing of water standing in them. They
support the heaviest loads. and are in
use by number of railroads in the
central states.
There is an enormous demand for
culverts. especially in this valley
where there is SO much low land, and
with the grading up of the roads and
the construction of drains in the diff
ferent parts of the valley, it Is be-
'lieved these culverts will go into al
most universal use-> The company has
large stock of culverts now manu-
featured, and on hand, and are ready
to supply township supervisors and
drain commissioners engaged In build
ing township drains, with all sizes and
lengths.
= 1t is believed this will develop into
one of the largest and most important
manufacturing Industries in the city.

Yelled Auctions in India.

In the course of an interesting paper
on shellac, communicated to the Phar-
maceutical society, Sir George Watt, C.
I. E., described the quaint practice
adopted at the auctions in India. The
buyers and sellers join hands and sit
facing each other, cloth being thrown
over the hands. The buyer presses GER
tain fingers Of the sellers hand, thus
making an offer. This is usually reject
ed by motion of the head. and further
finger pressing ensues. Finally the bar
gain is struck without word having
been uttered. The advantage claimed
for this system is that the buyer may
proceed from one seller to another AMI
make his purchases without his price
being known to other dealers.-London
