That Missing Mail Sack-Ol

That Missing Mail Sack-On
Feb. ? about 3 a. 20. on very cold
morning full canvas mail pouch
was stolen from the truck near the
railroad baggage room and although
many efforts have been made to get
trace of the pouch nothing has
been learned concerning it. Search
warrants were issued and a search
made but no one who had any thing
to do with the theft has as yet been
located or found. There was large
amount of Important and valuable
mail in the sack and manv letters of
a business nature containing drafts
and checks, money orders and regis
tered letters. So far no attempt has
been made to cash any of the drafts
or money or ders stolen and the banks
and posJoffices which took prompt
precautions to prevent the casning OF
any such drafts and orders have not
had a chance to locate any cUlprit,
or anyone else who wanted to cash
the orders ,etc. The case is mys-
terious one and some of the best tai
ent in the postoff1ce and railroad de-
tective forces has been at work
trying to unearth the criminals 6r
whoever it was that got the sack.
The sack was left for short time on
the truck outside the baggage room
to wait for a train that was supposed
to..be..taking coal In the west end OF
the yard. The weather was so cold
that the railroad employee stepped
inside the room, and on again going
out to meet the train found the sack
had been taken. 1t is surmised that
when the snow has finally melted in
the country that the sack may be
found, but others think that it new
er will be, as the party who got it
may have wisely destroyed the en-
tife sack and contents, rather than
take any chances Of Keeping it or at
tempting to get any benefit from
the letters it contained.

Red River Rampage-Fargo is
long.on water and. it all comes from
the Red which is on a "a N page. The
trolley cars to- the. st. Johns hospital
have been out of commission since
early this morning and the residents
of the Island Park district are COM
PEELED to take the court house route,
the cars being reversed at St. Johns
hospital.
Observer Grasse of the Moorhead
weather station reports.that the rise
! since noon on Sunday was two and
nalf feet, making total Of twel We
and half feet since the rise began
last Thursday.
The exodus of people from Shanty-
\ town began last night and for time
was very animated. There is a no.
ticea BILE backing up of water in the
sewers OF the west side of the city.
The official report from Grand
Forks this morning say that the
snow is eight inches deep and the ice
in the river twelve inches thick and
i5 is still firm. At Cr00kston the
snow is six inches deep and the river
slowly rising.
Old timers predict that the great
quantity of snow in the Sheyenne
river, means trouble at the Sec
ond rise of that stream and the Red
is likely to b ack from Grand Forks
and much will be heard from the
streams running jn6o the Sheyenne.
The rise of the river which caused
the great flood in 1897 began March

Railroad Work in Minnesota
Chas. Whiting spent Sunday in the
city and returned today to the con-
struction work on the Northern Pa
cifc at Muskoda, a portion of which
he is superiutending. There are some
200 men aL work now, and the force
will soon be largely increased. Exca-
vatinG in a ditch to be SO feet deep
is in progress. Later a heavy I'll of
over miles will be made. The pres
ent work is some distance from the
main track. A half dozen steam
shovel outfits will soon be at work in
that locality, for the double track.
Last. Friday morning .over.40o feet OF
the temporary track on the line at
Glyndon was washed out. The morn
ing trains passed over alright but
through considerable water which
covered the track. Afterwards the
water rose rapidly and the rails and
ties moved away. Only little delay
was caused as there was large force
Of men and machinery at hand to
cope with the trouble. The extent
of the work is so great that the en-
tire su MINER will be consumed with
all the working force that can be
handled to accomplish what mas been
laid out. The filing OF the S miles OF
trestle with earth will be an enor-
nous job. In several places the course
Of the Buffalo river will be changed, ,
several small lakes will be drained in
the progress Of the work.

BURGLARS MADE HAuLS
Two Souihslds Residences Entered
and valuables Stolen from
Sleeping Roems.

Saturday night, some time after
midnight, the residences Of John Bol-
niger and Chas. Avis, on the south
side we're entered and the profession
al burglars work was in..evidence the
next morning. In the Bolinger
house, the outside doors we're unlock
ed and the burglar or burglars en-.
tered without difficulty, at the front
door, went up stairs and into the bed
room where Mr.. and Mrs. Bolinger
we're asleep. The formers coat, vest
and trousers were lying near the door
and we're taken down stairs. Some
$40 in money were taken from the
pocket book in the trousers, but the
papers, receipts etc, were folded neat
ly back in place. Mr.. Bolinger's gold
watch was also taken from his vest,
but was found down stairs in the
kitchen, the monogram on the watch,
and the possibility.of-its indentifca-
tion thereby. having probably been
noticed by the thief. On the side
board in the dining reom. Mrs. Boil
niger had left piamond ling and,
this the burglar found and took with
him. No noise of any kind was heard
and no other property taken.
The same night at the residence OF
C. 3. Avis, some time after one o.
clock, window on the west side OF
the house Was raised, the storm win
dow hung on hinges, having been left
open for air. The burglar got into
the house and proceeded to 90 up
stairs tc Mr.. Avis room and carry
away his trowsers and vest. From
the later a gold watch was taken and
a little money from the pockets Of
the pants was also secured. No tone
in the house heard any noise, and no
other rooms were ransacked. The,
watch was a valuable one, priced as a
family relic, and it's loss, the proprie-
tor regards as contribution to the
family fresh air fund. The family
dog, usually relied on as good watch
dog around the house has been mics
ing since Saturday.
This is the first burglary reported
this year and the precaution Of lock-
ing houses and keeping..valuables in
safe place is necessary earlier this
year than usual, as the hobo season
appears to have already begun.

A1A "SA wiz iIoS uo sui CoA gam
resistant seed just in proportion to
the amount of disease which is In his
soil and in direct proportion to the
care with which he grades to the
plump, heavy seed from bis Own crop.
Resistant seed can be obta ined from
any OF the standard types of fax
seed, if this process is followed. The
resistance will be lost just as soon as
the farmer fails to follow up this
method.
Conditions which differ from those
In which the seed was grown the pre-
vi0us year tend to reduce its pow ers
of resistance. For example, seed
which was resistant on sick, but dry
soil, is found to be but. slightly re-
sistan5 when placed upon wet, heavy,
poorly drained f]ax-sick soil.
In most cases, seed of highly resis-
tanG powers will show some plants
which wilt each year. This is espec-
tally true in the case OF heavy at
tack by rust. Weak plants, though
sick, may produce some light, scaly
seeds. Such plant seeds must be re-
moved by the tanning mill each sea-
son or the general crop will speedily
lose the resistant powers obtained in
the first selection.
What to.do. After selecting vari-
ETY. OF seed, which seems pure, grow
your own seed. It will be better for
use on your farm than any that can
be obtained anywhere else. If, on ac-
count OF Hax-sick soil, only small
yield is produced, be sure to save
this seed, as the plants which Dro.
duce seed are more or less immune to
the wilt disease, and this seed will
resist the disease better the follow
ing yeal than any seed which has not
been previously grown on sick ground
The effects of wetting fax seed.
Never allow fax which is to be used
for seed to become wet, if it can pos.
sibly be helped; for, the spores OF
disease germinate, and, like mold fila
F,mel1ts, grow into the seed coats, and
seed treatment will fail to destroy
this internal fungus. The young
plants from such seeds must eventu-
ally sicken or die, and will introduce
the disease into the soil wherever
they fall. .......
Treatment. After grading until
only plump, bright seeds remain, treat
the seed by the formaldehyde spray
ing and shoveling method. Use for
maldehyde at the rate of sixteen
ounces averdupois to forty gallons of
water. Put the solution. n..on-the seed
slowly with fine. spray from force
pump. while it is being raked or
shoveled over, treating five or ten
bushels in pile at time. Use ap-
proximately one-half gallon of the
solution per bushel Of clean seed.
Leave the seed in pile for one or
two hours covered by blanket or
canvas. Shovel the pile over once or
twice the first hour after treating.
Then it may be drilled as usual.
It is safe to SOW properly treated
seed upon new land, as 1T will then
not be liable to introduce the dis
ease. The treatment always strength
ems the first growth from the seed,
and always brings an increased yield,
ever. Though the seed is resistant to
wilt. assume that it destroys 9th.
er unseen fungus spores, ana thus al
lows the young plant to use all the
food material stored in the mother
seeds.

BIG MONEY FOR
A Big ENGINEER
SNUG FORTUNE ROLLS IN TO
JOHN HAYES HAMMOND
EACH YEAR.

In a sketch of John Hayes Ham
mond, the Technical World Maya
zine for October says, in part:
Though personally one of the quiet
est of men, Mr.. Hammond occupies
position as a mining engineer prob
ably second to no other man in this
country, if he is to be judged by his
responsibilities pnd the salary he
draws. AS consulting engineer Of
the vast interests of the Guggenheim
Exploration Company, Mr. Hammond
is said to receive 100000 year
Mr.. Hammond is native of Califor-
MIA and was at one time consulting
engineer of the Central Pacific and
Southern Pacific railways. He is a
graduate of the Yale Scientific School
and of the Royal School of Mines in
| Saxony. He was sent by the Geologi-
cal Survey to examine the gold fields
of California and his interest became
so intense that he made the study of
mines and mining property his life
work
The tremendously rich Bernato
brothers of London sent Mr.. Ham
mond to report on their mines in
| South Africa 1t was while there he
became associated with DR.. Jameson
and mixed up in the movements that
| led to the Jameson raid. He was one
of the men sentenced to be hanged
for his activities in Transvaal re-
forms, and only escaped by paying
$125,Q00 for his freedom. He re-
turned to London and was sent to
Mexico by one of the largest English
syndicates to investigate the ore
fields. The Guggenheim Exploration
Company then snapped him up and
made him general manager of prob
ably the largest mining concern in
the world. Mr.. Hammond is married
to the daughter OF Judge ]. w. NJ
Harris of Mississippi, and has -four
sons. He is special lecturer attached
to the faculties of several of the lead
ing American universities and is 6
member of many of the large engin
eering clubs and societies in thi'
country. Mr.. Hammond has Office.
in New York, London and Denver.
