CasseIton.

Casselton, n D., Sept. 17.-To The
Forum: The heavy rain storm of last
Friday put stop to tnreshing in this
vicinity and Saturday found the city
full OF men, who made it busy and
profitable day for the merchants and
barber shops.
The project of establishing Y. NJ
G.. A. here is being taken up seriously,
and committees have been appointed
to work along lines that have been
worked in other cities l. e., secure a
number Of names of members at 50
much per year, and also procure con-
tributions from the business men. A
meeting was held in the city hall last
Wednesday evening. which was adj
dressed by Secretary Allen. of the
Fargo Y. M. G. A, and several of Cas-
selton's foremost citizens. We hope
that we will be able to secure such an
institution for this city. 1t certainly
is a step forward.
The elevator formerly owned by
Walker & Huyck has been absorbed by
the Eek Elevator Co.. of Minneapolis,
and will form one of chain of ele-
vators owned by this concern. Mr.. e.
c.. Huyck is vice president and secre-
tary of the Rex Elevator Co., and
will make his headquarters at this
point.
An Italian with an unpronounceable
name was struck by a work train at
Dalrymple last Friday night and in
stantly killed. The body was brought
to Casselton and taken to Priewe's
undertaking parlors. He was buried
from the Catholic church Sunday
morning.
Quite number of Casselton young
people have left for different schools
and colleges, and some of the boys
and girls that are left will naturally
have to console each other
Mrs. III. C. Newton and daughter,
Miss Carrie, have gone to Minneapolis,
where they will spend the winter with
Mrs. Newtons son, Fred.
John Reed of Armenia met with quite
a serious accident last week, being

cover. Cor. G.

Moisture in Ground Inoreasina,L..

Jamestown Alert: AS the surface
of the soil in the central and western
parts of the state is more generally
turned over by the pillow, the increase
of a supply of moisture in the soil it
self is more apparent The porus
surface permits the rainfall to soak
down into the ground where in for
mer years 1t mostly ran off into
sloughs and streams and disappeared
oy rapid evaporation The soil is
gaining in a reserve of moisture that
it never had before the ground was
plowed. A growth of grass as is now
seen on all unplowed land which also
aids in retaining in the soil the rain
fall
The more moist condition of the
entire soil in James river valley, than
was the case years ago, is noted by
elevator men. In elevators built
some years ago no other protection
was required to keep moisture out of
the pits than a common cribbing up
of the excavation with plank Now
II is becoming necessary in many cases
to take out the plank and substitute
metal sheeting to line the pit to
keep out the moisture that has soak
ed into the ground. Pits in elevators
in all parts of the James river valley
are being changed to meet the new
condition of increased moisture in the
ground.
This increased moisture in the soil
is the most important change that
has come with cultivation of the soil
and promises to bring more and great
er changes than the nourishment of
growing crops.
With the rainfall mostly in the
ground instead of on the surface and
evaporation being more slow the ex-
tremes of past seasons in drouths and
freshets are not as likely to be seen.
1t is also reasonable to look for
modified temperature both in summer
and winter where the face of great
extent of country has been radically
changed as in the cultivation of the
eastern half of the state; and the
breaking up of the western part will
only help this beneficial change.

Vacation for jerks.

President James j. Hill of the Great
Northern has directed that C. III.
jerks, superintendent Of the Northern
division, Crookston, shall be given a
years leave of absence, during which
time he will be expected to enjoy a
complete rest, with the understand
ing that he is to return to the rail-
way service just as soon as he sue
ceeds in regaining his health entirely.
This information will be welcome
news to the many friends of Captain
jerks all over North Dakota. Mr..
jerks was born Nov. 20, 1874, and at
the age of eighteen years began work
for the Great Northern, since which
time he has been continuously en-
ployed in railroad work, most of the
time a superintendent.
There is probably not better
known man on the Great Northern
system than Superintendent jerks,
and the men in the railroad service
will hope an entire recovery OF his
health during the year that has been
allotted to him by the Great Northern
president to recuperate himself.

Settled Damage Suits.

One hundred thousand dollars is
the approximate amount which the
Great Northern Railway company will
have to pay in adjusting the claims
of widows and next of kin for the ten
human lives lost in the train wrecks
at Camden, Wash, and Beaver, b. e.,
in July. The only likelihood of suit
in court is that by relatives of N.
Edward Munson, engineer of the fast
mail, which was wrecked near Jam
den The officials of the road de-
clare he was negligent in maintaining
a high rate of speed and on that ac-
count it is sought to reduce the claim
of the family to minimum, but the
family is holding out for $4,000.
Families of l. M. Cornthwaite and T.
j Dofbow, both of Spokane, each
settled with the company for $4,000,
while others ranged from $500 to
$4,000. Professor Grimstad, of Col
vile, Wash, declined to make claim
for damages, declaring he. was not
injured.

kota republicans this fall vita no SER
ious danger of defeat for any of the
candidates is the pre- ction Of SEN
ator H. c. Hansbrough. who was in
this city today. The senator looks
for the election of the entire republi-
can ticket without any difficulty and
evidently does not believe many OF
the insurgents will kick over the
traces or bolt the ticket.
In spite of the fight which the lat.
ter made at the primaries he is con-
fdent that their loyalty to the party
VIII lead them to support the ticket
| nominated by the republicans as a
whole and that there will be little if
+ any cutting. To the democrats ne
does not concede even the ghost OF
a chance.
In discussing the situation today he
said:
/ have been over the state In the
past week and have seen many peo-
pie. l find there is no serious oppo-
sition to the republican ticket.
There has been some discussion of
! an apparently unfriendly character rel
atlVe to the candidacy of Judge
Knauf, but / do not find that the on.
! position extends beyond few individ-
uals some of whom it would seem
| are personally unfriendly to the judge
Tor reasons entirely outside of those
pertaining to his personal character
or fitness.
/ have heard of almost no opposi-
ton to Governor Sarles or any other
candidate on the ticket and have no
reason to doubt that the usual re-
publican majority will be given on
election day"

Jobs is the way a prominent grain
man puts it. This is better rec
ord than has been made in thresh-
ing in this state for a number OF
years, and while but a small portion
OF the crop has been marketed, the
threshing is we'll along, and the first
of October at the latest will see all
of the threshing done. There are nu-
merous reasons why grain is not be-
ing marketed more rapidly. The
prices offered are against general
market of grain, and the scarcity OF
threshing hands has made it almost
Impossible for many of the farmers
to thresh and market grain both, and
they have looked after the thresbing
and filed everything available in the
way of a building, and they will keep
this plan up until the threshing is
done, and then t-ey will turn their
attention to marketing the grain So
far as | can learn no one is piling
grain on the ground this year, nor
has any report reached Fargo of any
elevators being blocked. Conditions
SO far have been the most favorable
during the threshing season in a num-
Der of years"

The BUTCHERS PROTEST
The Slaughter House Ordinance Is
Objectionable to Some of Them
.. Will Ask Its Repeal.

Loud are the protests which some
of the butchers of Fargo are making
against the enforcement of the
slaughterhouse ordinance Claiming
that the arrangements at. the new city
slaughterhouse are not such as will
permit them to properly drive or yard
the animals which they have for
slaughter they are clamoring for a
repeal of the ordinance or at least a
modification of it until better quar-
tiers are provided.
Attorney T. H. McEnroe has in his
hands petition asking the council
to take some action for the relief of
the butchers and this will be present
ed at the next council meeting. The
petition has large number of sign
ers.
In spite of this action of the butch
ers, DR., Durham plans to go ahead
with the enforcement of the law and
after next Monday all animals
slaughtered for food within the city
of Fargo must be killed at the city
slaughterhouse.
i do not regard the protest of the
butchers seriously, said DR.. Durham
today. Although there are a num-
Der interested in the movement do
not think they will be able to do any
thing. Some of the butchers who
protest against the enforcement of the
ordinance are having their animals
slaughtered in the Moorhead city
slaughterhouse where the facilities
are no better than they are here"
