Mrs. McBrayen. Of this city. receiv-
ed a telegram last week stating that
her aged father. John Mckay, had
passed away at his home in Rod
ney, Ont, on the 18th inst. Details
in regard to his death are lacking but
there is no doubt thst he died of old
age. as he had attained the age of
ninety four years. The deceased was
a we'll known character among the
pioneers of Canada and, as is re-
corded in certain data in the hands
of Mrs. McBrayen. was born at
midwinter in the Arctic wilderness
during a terrible March from Lord
Selkirk's settlement at Churchill to
York Post in the Hudson Bay reg
ion in the year 1912. Deceased was
man of prominence in the com
munity in which he lived and leav-
es many relatives to mourn his loss.
Among the number are the McBray
en- s and Coulthard's g and Russell Nc
Kay of this county, to whom his death
is more than the passing of one of the
grand old pioneers.

had LARGE AUDIENCE HERE
He discusses the political questions Of the
day in IN able manner. He referred to
manner In which the state ticket was
made up at the "Merehant Hotel Meet
Ing" In 8t. Paul. i

The good government league was
represented at Bottineau on Thursday
evening at the opera house by Elk.
Congressman B. F. Spaulding. There
was splendid audience which demon
strated the interest of Bottineau coun-
ty people in clean administration for
the state. The Hon. gentleman was
we'll received by the audience, and
was given very marked attention,
Notwithstanding the fact that the
speaker was effected with cold and
was therefore at great disa dvantaee.
Mr.. Spaulding made stirring ad-
dress upon the theme of good govern
ment and in the course of his treat.
ment of the question he referred to the
manner in which the state ticket was
made up at the Merchants Hotel il
st. Paul, and railroaded through the
various state conventions The cap
ital commission bill came in for siren
uous treatment and the failure Of graft
Herewith was plainly shown. The
articles now appearing in the popular
magazines on the "Looting Of Alas
ka, !" he said were but samples Of the
same methods of graft that has been
carried on in the state politics ever
since statehood. The Hon. gentleman
treated the question. of the primary
election law very caustically and dem.
onstrated that the dictatorial bossism
had endeavored to give us a bill that
would prove 80 obnoxious in the eyes
of the public that they would become
surfeited with it and consequently
make it almost impossible to- re- enact
another. meeting the specific require
ments of the people.
His closing remarks were directed
toward clean methods in the selecting
of candidates and delegates of any and
all description. and that this policy
was the only way Of safe guarding the
commonwealth of the state of North
Dakota. In all, the questions taken
up by Mr.. Spaulding were i've ones,
and they were fearlessly handled.
There was no attempt to dodge the
issue. Many things might have ap-
peared palmer il the Hon. gentleman
had INDUCED in personalities, but this
was not done. He would receive a
heartier welcome should he return
again to this part of the state.

The FIRE started between the ceiling
and upper floor Of the Times ehcs
where the stove pipe passed through
to the fue in, the upper rooms which
were being used as living rooms by
editor Guy L. Scott and family. Both
Mr.. and Mrs. Scott we're away at the

two printers, Dave Swenson and r..
Orpheus Burgess, ad. architect, but
owing to the early hour of the morn
ing few people were stirring, and in
the absence of water or any kind of
protection, the flames soon spread and
in a very short space of time the en-
tire building was enveloped in fames
A strong north wind prevailed dur
ing the time and the flames soon
spread and it will probably seem most
miraculous how the rest of the town
south of the buildings escaped des-
truction. As soon as the weather
will permit in the spring, arrange
ments will be made to rebuild the
burned district with solid brick or
cement block and what now seems to
be bad blow to the town will even
tually result in a vast and permanent
Improvement.

greatest demand is for apples.
A small evaporation can be used tt
advantage and profit on every farm
even if it is only to dry the supply OF
fruits and vegetables for family use
Evaporators with capacity of six

farms. The expense of operating is
not large and there is usually good
return. Apples will usually dry out
from six to eight pounds to the bush.
ell, depending on the variety, state OF
maturity, quality of the fruit and the
care used in pairing.
The evaporator shown in the cut is
owned by George T. Powell, we'll
known New York fruit grower, says
the Farm and Home. 1t has a capac.
ity of 100 bushels per day and cost
complete somewhat less than $1,000.
He averages $50 pounds evaporated
apples from 100 bushels of green
stock, and 200 pounds of skins and
cores. There are two kilns the APP.

two boys to run the pairing machines,
six women to trip, one man who looks
after the fires, the sulphuring and the
slicing, and another man works from
noon to midnight tending the fires.
1t takes three tons of coal per week to
run the evaporation.

HARVESTING ONIONS.
Care Must Be Taken to Do It Just at
the Right Time.

AS onions approach maturity. the
time of harvesting them should be
carefully watched. When they are
mature the stems will show it by dry
ing up and looping over, and the
onions should be harvested at this
time to avoid second growth start
ing in. 1t has been found by those
who grow them under irrigation that
the crop could be very easily spoiled.
This was done by there being check
in the growth of the onions just be-
fore maturity, and the irrigator think
ing he would continue the develop
ment by an extra watering. The ex-
ira watering resulted in starting what
is known as a second growth. a new
shoot being sent up from the onions
and many of the onions dividing into
two parts. This Injuries them for SELL
ing. in the markets. and also Injuries
their keeping qualities, says the Farm.
ers' Review. If the onions stop grow
ing for any cause, either because they.
have not been supplied with adequate
water or because the natural rain fall
is not abundant, it is better to harvest
them at once, even though they are
somewhat immature. The best keep
ing varieties are frequently the small
ones, and among the varieties the
small onions keep better than the
large ones. This is due to the fact
that the loss in weight causes free
evaporation and sprouting. Therefore
they should be harvested as soon as
possible after they have obtained their
first growth and put in cool place,
that is, a place not dry enough and
warm enough to cause evaporation Of
moisture to start growth.
