asphyxiated in their shanty on a

went to bed leaving a soft coal fire in

were not found until late the follow

sician had arrived, Graves and Conrod
were dead and Peters was hardly able
to tell what had happened. It ap-
pears that in the afternoon a friend of
the young man visited the shack, but

recognized the man, but he was so
nearly overcome by the gas that he
was unable to make a sound. The

TORUN LAND
Territory Of Strange Rock Formations Will Be Made Accessible
TO the Public.

That section of the Dakotas lying
west of the Missouri river, which at
this time is attracting wide interest
by reason of the projection of two
great railway systems through it, pos.
sesses many natural objects Of great
interest which for the first time will
become conveniently accessible to the
public. The more interesting of these
natural curiosities are the fantastic,
fossil-bearing Bad Lands, whence have
come the greater portion Of the fossils
of hideous, prehistoric animals which
fill the scientific museums, and the
unique rock c~oncretions which abound
throughout the region, but particular
ly in the Fox hills and in the North
Dakota sections.
These concretions are of greatly
varying sizes and forms. Some are
lglobular, and range from the size of a
marble to immense globes five feet in
diameter. From the abundance of
these globular connections found upon
its banks the Cannonball river in
North Dakota takes its name. Some
are loglike in form and of great length,
sometimes reaching 100 feet or more,
and resemble in shape, size and color

are of complex and often surprisingly

lieved to be Of miraculous origin.
These c%oncretions, unless exposed
by erosion of the rock about them, are
always found embedded. 1t is not easy
to inform the layman the manner of
their growth. In brief, they owe their
existence to the natural attraction of
matter to a central object. At that pc
Rod when all of the rock matter of
the earth's surface was in solution,
the solidifying process began by the
crystallization of atoms, and owing to
the peculiar conditions existing in the
Dakota region these crystallized atoms
became the nucleus which attracted
about it the rock material in a wide
area of the mineralized sea. When
these nuclei were held in suspension

Seek to prevent Commissioner Ladd From Enforcing Provisions
Of New Paint Law.

The Enforcement of the pure paint
law will be delayed, and it is possible
that it may never be inforced. This
morning Judge Amidon made an or
der temporarily retaining j. H. Worst,
director Of the North Dakota govern
ment experiment station, from carry
ing out the provisions of the law. Fri
day arguments will be heard before
Judge Amidon on a motion for a tenn
oorary injunction.
n restraining order was made as
q result of an action which has been
commenced by twelve of the leading
paint manufacturers of the United
States. The complaint in the case is
lengthy, and the paint law is most
~strenuously attacked. The manufac-
ture of paint is exhaustively explained
and it is charged that the trainers of
the law were ignorant Of the subject

employed. In condemning the use of

great injustice is done, inasmuch as

In conclusion the constitutionality
of the law Is attacked on the ground
that it is class legislation. In support
Of this contention the fact is advanced
that the law does not apply to the

er Ladd against impure paint, accord
ing to the provisions of the state law,
was started last week when $4,000 bull
letins, describing the ingredients of
the different brands of paint on the
market, were sent out. This was a
surprise to the paint manufacturers,
inasmuch as it was not expected that
any steps would be taken until after
the law became effective Jan. 1.
The state law provides that the di.
rector of the North Dakota govern
ment experiment station shall be
charged with the proper enforcement
of the provisions of the law sd it
was for this reason that the suit was
started against j. H. Worst rather
than Commissioner Ladd, who, on &C.
count of his position as chemist at the
agricultural college, has had the &C.
tive work in the enforcement of sim.
liar laws.
The law prescribes that any paint
containing only pure linseed oil, pure
carbonate of lead, oxide of zinc, tur-
pentine, japan dryer and pure colors,
can be marked pure. If it contains
ingredients other than these, the adul-
terants must be marked on the pack
age in clear and distinct open gothic
letters upon a white background, with
the percentage Of each contained in
the mixture. Failure to do this is
! punishable by a fine of from $25 to
500 and costs. +
