NOVEL LAMB CREEP.
Device by Which a Considerable
Economy of Shed Space May
Be Secured.

The cut shows an effective and prac.
ucal lamb creep. The idea Is valuable
on account of the economy Of shed
space secured. A plank on which
cleats are nailed leads from the ground
up on a platform about 31a feet high.
On one side of this platform are ar.
ranged the troughs for the lambs to
feed from, and It Is remarkable how
soon the lambs learn to make use of
the whole continuance. Lambs natur-
ally take to climbing. They can often
be seen to run to the top of board

Grand Forks county intend to admin
lister drubbing to the posse of politi-
cal shylocks Is plainly evidenced by
the sentiment expressed everywhere.
At Holmes postofice B. G. Skulason,
the brilliant and gifted attorney from
this city held his listeners in close at
tention while he pricked the populistic-
insurgent bubble with the lance of
indomitable fact. Stillman Smith and
Rev. Jorgeson also delivered stirring
addresses.
The republicans of this county have
plainly expressed their indignation at
the hypocritical efforts of the insur-
gent leaders and the unsavory odor
which accompanies the past records
of the ring leading the attack upon
republicanism. The feeling against
Sorley is most emphatically expressed
and the voters evidently have decided
not to again trust their interests in
the hands of a man whose previous
record as representative shows a
cowardly betrayal of condolences and
upon whose professional reputation a
stigma rests which is not obliterated
or substantially denied. The people
wanted the truth and now that they
have it in cold facts, unanswered by
the accused, they are turning their
backs in disgust and in Indignation
upon the office seeking conspirators
against republication and public good.
Grand Forks county has experienced
revolution in sentiment and think
ing men, men mislead by falsehood
and deception are now throwing off
their coats in every precinct deter
mined to wipe out for all time this
piratical crusade against decency and
the republican party.

Word received in Grand Forks to-

MINI. Lewis was at work drilling
well in the rear of the Minnesota hotel
at the time of the accident and the
injuries received may prove fatal to
the young man.
While drilling at the depth of about
81 feet Lewis encountered stone
which necessitated blasting. He low

10 feet down the, charge became stuck.
Fearing that If it were allowed to ey-

pull it to the surface AS he did so the
fuse, which burned faster than had
been expected, reached the cap, and
there was terrific explosion.
A piece of tin, in which the dynamite
was encased. struck Lewis in the
throat, nearly severing his head from
his body. He bled horribly, but med

his wounds were sewed up, several
stitches being necessary to close them
He is in critical condition, but may
live. Every window in the hotel,
which stood about 80 feet from the
well, was smashed.

SAN FRANCISCO. July 1S.-George
Fredericks. president of the Iron and
Brass Foundry association, has issued
the following statement about the
need of skilled labor in the iron trade:
While a very large number of me-
chanics have arrived in San Francisco
since the fire, all of whom have found
employment at good wages, the de-
mand for labor is daily increasing, Ow-
ing to the rapid building of the city
and the large number of contracts
daily offered to contractors, many of
which have to be refused owing to
the scarcity of labor.
Wages ruling here are higher than
anywhere else in the United States.
The following concerns who compose
the foundrymen's associations namely
the Union Iron Works company, Ris-
don Iron Works, Western Foundry and
Pump works, Enterprise foundry,
United Engineering company, Pacific
| foundry, Phoenix Iron works, Pacific
Rolling mills are short of men in all
the departments of the trade that are
called for in ship and engine building
and especially pattern makers and
machinists.
Many mechanics are staying away
| from San Francisco owing to the fact
/ that they think the whole city is
| burned out and that they cannot find
! any place in which to house them
/ selves and their families. This is a
! false impression. Buildings are going
