EIGHT ARE INJURED.
IN 500 WRECK
Other Passengers Get a Scare and
Bad Shakins-Up
Sleeper, Two Day Coaches. Baggage Car and
One Freight Car Leave Track on Account
Of Broken Flanse on Wheel

The regular east bound train on the
500 was wrecked last Thursday night
at Perry, six miles east of Forman. A
heavily-laden wheat car, just in front
of the baggage car, was the first to
leave the track, and it carried with it
the baggage and mail car, the passen-
ger coaches and the sleeper. The
coaches rolled down a twenty foot en-
bankment, and the greatest wonder is
that some of the passengers were not
killed. All aboard received bad shak-
ing up and eight were severly injured.
Messages were sent to Oakes and
Lidgerwood for medical assistance, and
Drs. Boardman and Ryder left here in
a special about midnight. They got
back at five in the morning bringing
with them two of the injured: George
Dwyre, brakeman, who received a
bad scalpwound, and Hans Dyste of
Forman. Both men were taken to the
hospital where their wounds were at
tended to. Mr.. Dyste was able to re-
turn to Forman Saturday.
w. ]. King, of Oakes, the other brake
man, and Car Repairer Kaine of Enders
lin were badly hurt. Mr.. King re-
ceived a severe bruise on arm and Mr..
Kaine severe cut on head. The for
mer was taken to Ransom, where he
was cared for until Saturday when he
was brought home. Several of the in
jured were taken to Lidgerwood.
Among the other injured were: Miss
Edith Hurry and Dave Green of For
man, the porter on the sleeper and a
Russian passenger, the two latter re-
ceiving scalpwounds. Conductor Boeth-
ling was in charge of the train and
came out of the mixup without a
scratch. He was in the sleeper at the
time and saved himself by getting a
firm hold on one of the seats.
The track was repaired and traffic
resumed the next afternoon.
The injured are all reported to be get
ting along nicely.

MURDERER cOnnlTTED SUICIDE.
Slayer of DR.. Drake Found Dead
Southwest of Ashley.

While a posse was securing the coun-
try in all directions for Henry Fulker-
son, the murderer of DR.. I. L. Drake
of Minneapolis, at a hotel at Ashley
week ago Monday, his body was lying
cold in death in a field eight miles south
west of there. He had committed sui
eide by shooting himself through the
head.
The discovery was made Sunday af-
ternoon by Ventura farmer, who at
once notified the authorities. Sheriff
Emanuel Hildebrandt, accompanied by
A. Cling, coroner, c. S. Johnstone and
two other citizens, drove to the place
and found that the dead man was Fulk-
erson. The body was taken to the
courthouse and an inquest was held
Monday.
Judging from an investigation at the
scene where the body was found, and
the fact that it was some distance from
the highway, leads to the believe that
the fugitive lost his way and as he was
nearly overcome by the extreme cold,
he shot himself rather than freeze to
death. His revolver was lying nearby.
From letters found on his person and
at the place where he lodged it de-
velops that he had brother, w. H.
Fulkerson, at Cleopatra, Mclean coun-
ty, KY, another brother, Marshal Full
kerson, of Church, Grayson county,
KY, besides a sister and other relatives
in that locality.
The remains of DIR. Drake were taken
to Minneapolis and his funeral was held
from the masonic temple Saturday
afternoon.

cartridges are manufactured, and thtn
shipped back into the United States,
paying custom duty of IS per cent.
Even with such handicap there is a
profit in the business. It may easily be
figured what that profit would be if the
legislation here spoken of could be en-
acted. E.
Every resident in the northwest now
pays tribute to the. Standard Oil COM
pany in the form of excessive cost for
gasoline and kerosene. This tribute
would be wiped out through the opera
tion of Representative MARSHALL s
|'scheme.
USES OF ALCOHOL.
AS showing something of the ramifi-
cations. of alcohol in manufactures
generally, and how those manufactures
would be stimulated through this legis-
lation, it may be said that, in addition
to entering into many alkaloids and fine
chemicals. alcohol is used in the making
of stiff hats, silk hats, smokeless pow
der, illuminate of mercury, cartridges,
artificial silk, picture frames and mold
ings, polished metal goods including
hardware, brass beds, gas and electric
fixtures, lamps, brass musical instru-
ments, electric fans, bird cages, clocks,
toys, coal tar dyes, celluloid, nitro eel
luloise, Photographic supplies, electric
generators and motors, lead pencils,
watches, oleostearene, automobiles,
power boats, stationary engines, furni-
ture and other polished woods, passen-
ger and street cars, chloroform, burial
caskets, whips. trunks, shoe dressing,
fire works, shoes, emery wheels, pipes,
umbrella and cane handles, fusel oil,
transparent soap, and hundreds of other
articles.
All the alcohol thus used pays the
revenue tax of $2.07 gallon, and it
will be seen that if this tax can be re-
moved, the cost of manufacture will be
reduced, and Europe, which now findsa
market here for many of these products,
will keep those products at home.
Representative Marshall is enthusi-
astic over the outlook.
The Oakes times. [volume] (Oakes, N.D.) 1906-current, 1906-02-01
SAVING OF FREIGHT.

Representative Marshall argues that
by starting these extensive manufac-
turies in the northwest, right at the
place where the raw material is pro-
duced, freight both ways and long hauls
can be saved, increasing the profits to
the farmer as we'll as to the distiller
and manufacturer.
The northwest can consume the man.
ufactured product, and get that product
for much less money than is now being
paid for gasoline and kerosene. This
is matter of great Importance in the
Dakotas and Minnesota, where the use
of gasoline engines for all kinds Of
farm purposes is becoming general, and
where gasoline costs at retail all the
way from 16 to % cents a gallon. 1t
has been estimated that the denaturized
alcohol can be sold for from 10 to II
cents a gallon and still leave good
profit. Three gallons of it can be made
from q bushel of corn.
What is also of the first Importance
is the fact that the by-products of these
distilleries can be disposed of at good
prices for feed for cattle. These by
products will pay the entire cost of dis
tillation, thus enabling the manufac-
turers to sell their product at very
low price.
HELP FROM THE EAST.
Representative Hill, of Connecticut,
who is much interested in the PROPOSE
ton, is member of the ways and
means committee, and will help the
cause along when that committee begins
the consideration of bill asking that
denaturized alcohol be exempted from
revenue duty. He takes the position
that manufacturers in his own state are
severely handicapped as the result Of
the $2.07 tax, and cites one illustration
out of many. A certain firm in his dis
trict, engaged in making cartridges and
powdersdistills its own alcohol and ships
it to Canada in bond, thus saving the
revenue. In Canada the powder and

and kerosene consumption, just as it
has done in Great Britain, France,
Germany, Belgium, Holland and Aus
tria. In the countries named this
alcohol is rapidly taking the place of
gasoline for fuel, power and light, and
the place of kerosene for light. 1t is
much safer than either of these older
products, is cheaper, and not offensive
to the smell.
There may be another objection in
congress because of the claim that will
probably be put forward, that this leg
islation will reduce the revenues of the
government all the way from $40, ,O0O, 900
to $50, 600, 900 year. 1t is said by. ex-
perts, however, that this reduction will
be less than half million dollars, and
if it should be anywhere near this sum,
it will be important.
The legislature has already appealed
strongly to the national grange, which
has indorsed it. It will also appeal to
temperance people and prohibitionists.
It is said that the New Voice, the pro-
hibition organ of the country, has al
ready indorsed it earnestly. The
ground for this Endorsement lies in the
strong probability that, if the legislation
should be enacted, many alcohol distil-
leries which now make alcohol for con-
sumption as beverage, will find it
more profitable to discontinue this
practice, and make exclusively for the
arts and manufactures, thus saving the
$2.07 gallon tax and increasing present
profits. This is the way the thing has
worked abroad, and there is no reason
to suppose that it will not work in that
way here.
HOW 1T WORKS IN GERMANY.
AS showing something of the impor-
tance of this situation in one small
country, l quote from the American
consul general at Frankfort, Germany,
who, speaking of denaturized alcohol
in Belgium, writes the state depart
| ment as follows:
''Two important industries in Belgium
owe their existence entirely to the fact
that denaturized alcohol is not subject
to any tax in that country, namely, the
manufacture of ether and of artificial
silk, which use more than $500, 900 gal
Ions of alcohol yearly. The demand for
alcohol by those industries has increased
about thirteen-fold since 1896.
Representative Marshall has been
quick so see that what has been done in
Europe can be done in the United States
and he truly says that if the legislation
spoken of can be had, it will be the
greatest boon for the farmers of the
northwest that they have ever had. 1t
will stimulate the growth of potatoes
in the greatest potato section of the
land. It will stimulate the growth of
corn, even as far north as the Dakotas
and Minnesota, for alcohol can be made
from damaged corn as we'll as from that
which is perfect. 1t will furnish rea-
son for the culture of sugar beets on a
large scale, and thousands of acres Of
farming land, now practically worthless,
can be made to yield rich harvests with
certainty every year.

THE COOKING MILLENNIUM.

In almost every big department
store nowadays, there is an exhibit
of cooking by electricity. No dirt, no
ashes, no dust, no superfluous heat,
no fire; nothing but as high a temper
ature as you want in the cooking ap-
paratus and that only just so long as
you want IT..
Partly because invention lags,
chiefly because we have left short
sighted monopolists get control of
electricty-an6 perhaps that's why in
vention is lagging-we can't afford
to cox by electricity yet. But soon
for monopolies and monopolists do
die-we shall be emancipated from
the present superheated, dirty and
crude system.
What a world-from the standpoint
of comfort-this- Is bound to become
after a century or so more of the sort
of progress that began only about a
hundred years ago. And how much
of the good time that's coming" we
might a, .icipate If we weren't too

DEATH VALLEY.

Death valley is in Inyo county, Cal.
1t lies oblong from north to south,
with a length of so miles and width
of S5. Its surface is 210 feet lower
than the ocean. The moist winds of
the Pacific ocean are shut out from
1t by the Panamint mountains.
Death valley was given its name by
one of the survivors of a party of
emigrants who, in 1S49, lost their way
in the desert and after terrible suffer-
ings, but few of them were saved.
The atmosphere of Death valley in
August contains less than one-half of
one per cent of moisture. On the
north side of the desert is Ralston
desert on the west Panamint range;
on the south the Mojave desert and
on the east is Amargosa desert.
The heat in summer rises to 1877
degrees F. and even higher the great
est heat of the western hemisphere.
Geologists say the land was center
of a system of lakes when the Sierra
Nevada had not yet risen.
A sandstorm in Death valley is a
grand sight. Sand augers rise like
slender stems, reaching up into the
burning atmosphere for thousands of
feet and ending in bushy, swirling
cloud. They travel swiftly, some
times miles, then gradually fade away.
To attempt to cross Death valley
earlier than October Is and not later
than April IS is sheer suicide.

WOMEN SELL THEIR GOWNS.

These are busy days for the sec
ond-hand dealers in New York. for
they are buying and selling again with
remarkable speed many of the gowns
and mantles which were hits at the
recent horse show. Although thd
selling of old clothes-old, so to
speak, because while the garments
are secondhand. they have not been
worn more than two or three times
by society women is a practice of long
standing, few out of the theatrical
world knowing to what extent it is
done Should one happen to wander
into one of the numerous little shops
scattered along Sixth avenue, between
Thirty-thIrd and Thirty-ninth street,
he would be surprised at the quantity
and quality of expensive garments,
rich silks and brocades, chiffon and
lace gowns which are displayed there
for sale. The most remarkable part
of it all is that the prices of these
garments are about one-quarter of
the original figures, although it is
plain to be seen that the gowns have
been worn but once or twice.
The secret of their sale is that
women who are seen everywhere that
society congregates seldom wear the
same gown more than three times,
for she who aspires to leading, or even
following knows that dressing well is
half the battle, and she who dresses
well must constantly be seen in new
and expensive garments. A gown
made over would be instantly recog-
nized and the wearer would be Sc
cretly accused of trying to economize,
so the only alternative is to sell the
garments; for, contrary to popular
opinion, neither poor relations nor la
dies maids come in for the harvest of
silks and satins. A lady sells these be-
cause she has no further use for
them.-Leslie' Weekly.

INCONSISTENT oREGoNIAN.

The true and rightful opinion which
fingers in the inner consciousness Of
the Oregonlan, in spite of surface
prejudices, makes itself known occa-
sionally, involuntarily.
While the Oregonian opposes gov
ernment ownership of public utilities,
and bitterly cries out against every re-
form movement which it brands as a
socialistic tendency, yet when it
studies a local question and finds in
Justice in corporation management, 1t
unwittingly contradicts its own utter
ances and demands government own
ership.
In a local item a few days ago 1t
recited the injustice Of private own
ership Of the locks on the Willamette
river at oregon City, and strongly
