A GREAT INVENTION

Don Mcdonald, the DeMers avenue
tent and awning manufacturer, has
just installed in his factory one Of the
smoothest inventions of the present
decade, one that has already revolu-
tionized the awning business so far
as the labor question is concerned.
The machine is a "double-header"
stitch sewing machine. 1t costs some-
thing over 5000. is operated by power,
and one man unassisted can sew 1000
yards of canvas together in a workday
of 9 hours. Where other machines
sew one row of stitches, this sews two
rows, just doubling the amount of
work that can be done, and by an in
verse ratio lessening the number of
hands that must be employed. 1--WE
would be swamped with business right
now" said Mr.. Mcdonald today, but
for this machine" Quite number
have called at the factory to inspect
the invention and see it work

INVENTION OF A WOMAN.
Mrs. Boman Of the Sheyenne Has
Evolved Something New in
Rail Joint,

Several years ago Mrs. Anna b.
man, the wife of farmer residing
on the Sheyenne, few miles west of
Fargo, took trip to st. Paul. She
was unable to sleep while on the train
because of the incessant click, click,
as the train passed over the rails.
why is it necessary to have that
noise?" Mrs. Boman unused, after she
had returned to her home and was
busy again with the chickens.
Railroad men with whom Mrs. b.
man discussed the matter informed
her that the noise was caused by the
wheels passing from one rail to an
other.
1T would not be practical to have,
a continuous rail-" they informed Mrs.
Boman, because allowance must be
made for expansion and contraction.
If you want to travel with comfort
you will have to get used to that
clicking noise"
But Mrs. Boman was not satisfied
and thereupon she commenced series
OF experiments with the result that
several weeks ago she perfected
patent rail joint and railroad spike.
Mayor Johnson became interested in
the country woman's idea and assist
ed her in bringing it to the attention
of an eastern company.
A patent has been applied for and
word announcing that 1t has been
granted is expected any day.
Mrs. Boman was in Fargo seeking
information concerning her applica-
ton. She is an elderly woman, and
very reticent in speaking of her
patent.
ut is marvel in ingenuity" VOL
unteered Mayor Johnson, and am
informed by experienced mechanics
that it is practical"

CONSCIENCE MONEY

The Northwestern Insurance, pub
lished at St. Paul, has the following
interesting story:
The security Mutual Fire Insurance
company of Chatf1eld, Mimi, had an
unusual experience recently when they
received through the mails an I'M
signed letter containing a draft for
$125 with the explanation that the
sender had received that much more
than he was entitled to in a. settle
ment made with the company. Also
stated that he did not desire notoriety
and would not sign his name, but In
justice to himself and the company
he thought the amount ought to be
returned. Perhaps it would be a good
thing for the insurance companies to
establish conscience fund, as this
may be a forerunner of better things
to come.

new J0BB|NG HOUSE
WILL LOCATE
HERE
American Bottling Co. With
Side Line to Open Up in
q Few Days.

This city will have in few days
another splendid jobbing mouse, the
American Bottling company which
now has one of the largest trades in
soft drinks in the northwest and
which is being enlarged by the con-
struction of warehouses at several
western points In the state which will
become distributors of the goods car
ried. 1t has planned also to add Il
cigar jobbing department which it is
intended to be within few months
the largest of it's kind west of the Twin
cities. Arrangements have been COM
pleted for the handling of the goods of
Bandy 4 Lederer's celebrated brands
OF cigars which include the world
famous Tom Keene and Lawrence
Barrett. two of the standbys OF the
choice smoker which are as popular
as the men for whom they were
named.
The firm will also handle the we'll
known Bull Dog brand of clear Ha-
vanas from the great tobacco house
OF John w. Merriam, New York. 1t
will be remembered that that firm has
number OF the Bull Dog brand va
rieties. the most popular of which is
that of the Bull Dog alone. This is
Merriam's favorite grade of goods and
is the one upon which his house made
reputation which extends from the
Atlantic to the Pacific This is the
brand secured for the local jobbjng
house and will certainly be strong
addition to the cigar trade of the
northwest.
Twelve expert advertising statesmen
will arrive in the city in a few days
direct from the cities and will cover
the territory thoroughly in advertis-
ing the new line. They will be fol-
lowed by the regular statesmen of the
new house who will push the sales
with vigor and energy which can
mean nothing but the most pronounced
success. Five statesmen will be en-
ployed in handling the line at first
and as the trade increases, as it is ex-
pected to do, additional men will be
put on SO as to thoroughly cover the
territory.
This is one of the new industries
which have been so persistently
doomed by this city. and while all the
arrangements, had been completed be-
fore. they were held in allegiance pend
ing the investigations made on the re-
cent trip of the Commercial club by
member of the firm.

GOES TO SAN|70R|UM

w. E. Greenwood of this city, who
has been so seriously i'll the past
few weeks with what the physicians
diagnose as dropsy, further compli-
Gated with heart disease, was taken
east last evening to the celebrated
sanitorium at Battle Creek, Mich,
where everything that medical skill
can do will be done in an effort to re-
store the sick mans health. He was
accompanied as far as st. Paul by DR..
Harland and his wife, but the latter,
however, will continue east and re-
main with her husband. They will be
met at Chicago by a brother. The
Grand Forks friends of the family

Threshing is Started.

The threshing season is we'll started
in Dakota, and the demand for men
far in excess of the supply. Though
farmers and threshermen are paying
SO per day for laborers and $3.50 for
man and team it is impossible to sup
ply the demand and the threshing is
being delayed to some extent because
of the lack of labor. The thousands
OF laborers have been pouring into
Dakota and northern Minnesota for
the past few weeks, it will take hun
dreds more before all can be secured
that are necessary to rush the thresh-
ing through.

TURNER'S BIG CIRCUS

Sheriff Art Turner has adopted a
rather novel plan of caring for the
teams which will be used on his i'm
mense rig this season. He has had a
feed rack forty feet long with feed
boxes for thirty horses, constructed
on a wagon, and this will be carried
as part of his outfit the same as the
cook car is. An immense tent will be
erected over the wagon. which will
protect the horses from the cold and
storms. The wagon standing in the
center permits the horses to be fast
ened on either side with the heads to-
gether. The idea was secured from
an observation of a circus tent. stable.

Testing Guns.

Chief Lowe of the city police force
is directing that all the testing of guns
must be done outside of the city limits
and not single instance of shooting
inside the city will be permitted or
pass unchallenged If the perpetrator
can be found. Danger from guns is
too acute even when the guns are out
side the city that the weapon should
be permitted to be discharged where
there are great many people.

pany has sold up to the first of the
present month, million more new
brick this year than 1t sold in the cor

partially due to the greater amount of
building which has been done in the
territory tributary to the plants,
and to some extent to the increased
cost of lumber as a building material.
