ARE TOO OPTIMISTIC
SAYS 1ANT0N Of
CROP STORIES
While Yield May be Generally
Good, it Will Not be as
Heavy as Reported.

A. G. Tanton of Starkweather, Ram
sey county, N. D., manager of the
Farmers Grain company. which owns
twelve elevators located on the Stark
weather and Lakota branches of the
Great Northern, was a visitor 10
Grand Forks last evening enroute to
st. Paul. Mr.. Tanton has just re-
turned from trip through the coun-
try to his company's line of elevators
ana. while away made it point to in
vestigate crop conditions.
I'm my opinion" said Mr.. Tanton
to an Evening Times representative,
1.-THE reports of crop conditions being
sent out are too optimistic and not al
together warranted. concede that
the yield this year will be a very good
one, and better than last. but do
not think the returns from the
threshers will show as much grain as
many now think there will be-. The
crop in the valley, your own farmers
concede, is short; while out our way,
we expect good yields but not the hea-
Wy one that are being reported.
"Of course there is the western part
of the state, Ward, Williams, Nc
Henry and other counties to be con-
sidered. have not visited those Sec
tions yet, but understand they will
have the largest crops in their his
tory.
II will say this much, however, and
that is, that everywhere have visited
find that this years fax is the best
ever grown in the state"
Mr.. Tanton was asked whether or
not he had found black rust in any
quantity in the wheat fields. His re-
ply was that, while he had found in
dications, he did not believe 1t was IN
sufficient quantity to do any particu-
lar harm. He had heard no reports
whatever Of the Hessian fly pest
my goodness, what a fright he is!
All his front teeth are gone"
Yes. He lost them playing foot
ball"
"Oh, how perfectly grand! Intro
duce him to me, won't you please?"-

Mysterious Disappearance.


Thief River is agog over the mys-
FERROUS disappearance of Jack John
son. Mr.. johnson had been employed
by the 500 for some time past on the
section, was a man of temperate
habits and about SO years of age. He
Is married and has a grown up daugh-
ter residing here who is also married.
His family relations have always been
the most pleasant and no reason for
his disappearance can be given except
that he has lost his reason. For some
time Mr.. Johnson had been figur-
ing upon going to Dakota this fall and
work during harvest, but the fact that
he left without informing his family
and that he did not draw what money
he had coming from the 500 road, has
convinced his wife that something is
wrong.

formed by the Rev. Beadles of the

Jos. Mahowald came from Grand
Forks yesterday, says the Hector

tiers. Since Mrs Mahowald went to
her parents near Bird Island, an
other baby has been added to the

county ranks among the very best in
the state.
Sanborn Sentinel: Last Friday af-
ternoon, while the occupants were all
in the field at work, the house on
the farm occupied by Mrs. C. E.
Benham south Of town, caught fire
in some unaccountable way and
burned to the ground. The fire
caught from the outside, as there
was no fire on the inside of the
house to speak of when Mrs. Ben
ham and Emil Wellmer came from
the field. The entire building with
its contents was burned to the
ground. The occupants lost all their
household goods and wearing ap-
parel, and $50 in cash which was in
the house at the time. They were
almost destitute of clothing, but
their neighbors gave them clothing,
dishes, ETC., to supply their wants.
Friends in time of trouble are the
kind that live in memory. The house
and household goods were insured
for the $500 in the Stark Farmer s
Insurance Co.

Last Friday while threshing at the
farm of Chas. J. FLAG, Davis Bros.
engine set fire to and destroyed one
stack of grain in a setting of four
stacks, as reported by the Sanborn

crew saved the other three stacks,

William. The old man of THE GA
ZETTE pulled the "devil's tail" on a
Washington press for twelve dread
full years, beginning back in the
eighties, and then sold out in order
to recover from the effects of over
work. The worst insult ever offered
the father of his country was to
name those old man-killers after him.
Notice from the parents to the
saloonkeeper is not necessary in
order to make it misdemeanor for
him to sell liquor to minors, altho
there is provision to that effect in
the new code, and altho the general
prohibition against the sale of LIQUOR
carries with it no express penalties.
The supreme court so holds in the
case of state VS.. Ferdinand Stro-
schein, a saloonkeeper of Lyon coun-
ty, who was fined $50 for selling
eight beers to a minor.
The Franklin Tribune tells of a
painful accident which befell An
drew Halvorson of Palmyra. It
appears that Mr.. Halvorson was
threshing on the Dan Hanlon farm
in Birch Cooley. Shortly after noon
he was engaged in the act of placing
tina large drive belt on the engine
in motion. Instead it seems he pulled
the reverse lever and Halvorson was
thrown with great force towards
one of the big drive wheels. He
threw up his arm to protect his head
and this was a thotful act that
probably saved him from instant
death, altho he sustained a broken
arm.

 Discovering the residence of Mir. As paugh. he was interviewed and found to be very entertaining and wiliingg talker. He said he had nothing 10 conceal in respect of this matter for he was not concerned other than that he would like to see an oil field devcl- oped here, where there is such need for 1t. What he said respecting conditions here. can best be appreciated after some reference ot his own experience. Mir. Alspaugh who is spending the win .. ter in Phoenix, comes from Ohio. aI;d has had years of experience in the de- velopment of oil and gas. not only in the Ohio and Indiana fields, but ihe fields of southern Indiana and eastern Illinois as well.
 MT. Alspaugh said: "I was one of the first oil men to visit the Illinois field when it was in it's infancy with not half the showing of the field here. The development work here i1 Phoenix is. fin my estimation, going 10 be the opening of a large pool of oil as all in dications are of the most encoura ying nature. I have visited the well on the Murphy land on three differen- occas- ions. and by close examination of the sands which have been encountered, find the outlook very promising. On my last visit I found the well a few feet in excess of 1900 feet m depth. with more good looking oil sands than I have seen come out of a single we'll for a long time. From a depth of about 900 feet to the present depth. the sands occur very often and of T good quality and thickness. These sands are almost an exact duplicate of the sands

In my opinion the present work will be the forerunner of the opening up of the Salt River Valley oil fields.
 Again. in the present well they have passed through numerous strata of sands ranging from 35 to 50 feet thick. excepting the last one. or the one they have not yet drilled through. hay ing penetrated that formation over loo feet and it is the same formation which has been showing traces of oil for over 50 feet. and which increases as the drill advances. The mouotSins adjoining the we'll also have in a number of places, strong seepage' of oil which occur in the sandstone Hills for a distance of eight or ten miles. This oil is a seepage which comes through the crevices and porous fer nation of the rocks. When consider ing that the suns rays for perhaps thousands of years have beaten on these hills and they yet show seepages Of oil. the experienced oil man can only arrive at one conclusion; uiat the oil seepages are fed by a large body of oil which can only be discovered by the drill. My advice to those concern ed would be not to feel discouraged. but keep busy with the drill and SGc- cess will surely crown their efforts

F. ROSS BRYSoN, ARTIST.

Swifts Premium Calendar for 1907 is a reproduction in fifteen colors from the original pasteIs of J. Ross Bryson. The subjects-three characteristic American girls-drawn in the brilliant coloring, distinctive of MT. Bryson. are unique and fascinating
 Mir. J. Ross Bryson is a Canadian by birth. having been born near Mon- theal. Very early in life he was ap- prenticed to a firm of decorative painters, which naturally did not give him very much chance to develop his artistic talent. While serving his ap- premiership he realized his ability, and feeling the need of contact with an artistic atmosphere. he sailed for Europe where he spent several years in travel. visiting all the principal art centers and studying under the best masters. Returning to this country. he was determined to make a success, be- lieving that by hard work he could make a name for himself.
 Settling in the west. he took up DOT trait painting, but soon gave this up for pastel work. He found this to be his favorite medium, as its peculiar softness and delicate transparency ap- pealed to him strongly and gave him much wider scope for his originality He now ranks as one of the pastel painters of the country, the name just ly earned by close application and de- votion to his art. Bryson is probably best known for his elaborate and brilliant color schemes and .combina- tions, which his pastel work allows him opportunity to indulge in with out restraint.
