joycd by Washington were only
sufficient to give him n taste for
mathematics. The management of
his mothers plantation brought
home TO him the necessity Of under
standing the ordinary forms of legal
procedure. The land questions con-
tinually arising in a newly settled
country turned him to the study OF
surveying. Hence it Is that among
the earliest manuscript records OF
Washington now existing are to be
found his copies Of legal forms, eX-
ercscs In surveying and carefully
prepared accounts OF his income and
outgo. To the end Of his life his
ledgers were kept scrupulously and
most minutely, and each years econ
omy may be told from these records,
valuable not only for their personal
interest but also for the history Of
Virginia plantation which they en-
body.
His first employment was the care
Of his mothers plantation, and he
there laid the foundation of methods
which were later applied to the man
agement Of Mount Vcrnon-a man
agement that was as successful as
could he shown in any part Of Vir-
ginia at that time. He knew what
each slave was worth in the domes-
tic economy, and he closely watched
possible advantages TO be obtained
from public franchises. When his
interest in ferry was threatened
he called for aid from his half-broth-
er Lawrence, then in the House OF
Burgesses. The appeal. a bit Of legit-
innate lobbying is one of the earliest
known letters OF Washington.
Shortly after this incident Wash
ington went TO live with Lawrence
at Mount Vernon, where he amused
himself by making surveys OF the
fishpond. of the creeks and the var
ious fields of the plantation. proving
his process OF self-educatiop and fit
ting himself for his first public ap-
pointment. The influence OF Law
renee upon the young man was
strong, enduring and wholesome, and
was more responsible for the Wash

influences combined. Lawrence was
man in public life. OF wide ac-
quaintance among the leading men
OF the colony, a warm friend OF the
Kings representative and of that
voluntary exile and decidedly roman
tic character, Lord Fairfax. He was
engaged In extensive land ventures
and mining enterprises. He was in
the Colonial Legislature, and. know
ing that the real greatness OF Vir-
ginia lay in the west rather than in
the tobacco plantations OF the east.
he taught George that the true pol
icy OF the colony was TO secure
share. IL not a monopoly. in the trade
of the Ohio--a lesson which years
after bore fruit in Washington's in
terests In canals.
IL was Lawrence who gave George
his opportunities TO make influential
friendships. leading TO his rapid ad-
vancement in public service. Ii was

Coburn Case Dismissed--lt is not

Coburn Case Dismissed--lt is not
generally known that the notorious
'shorse stealing case" against Frank
Coburn has been dismissed. The
''Coburn case'' was one of absorbing
interest, partly on account of the
vig0r with which it was prosecuted
bv the state and the equal vigor with
which it was defended, and also by
reason of the nature Of the defense.
the number Of witnesses, the direct
conflict Of testimony, and the formid-
able array OF lawyers who took part
in the battle royal. Coburn was
more or less successful in proving an
alibi. Three witnesses testified that
on a certain night he was at the
home OF Frank Chapman in Dickey
county. The state maintained that
on the same night Coburn was at the
home OF Joe Bogardus, in Sargent
county. On these conflicting points
the jury in both cases gave the ac-
cused "the benefit Of the doubt" 1t
was thought to be the part Of wis
dom to dismiss the case rather than
put the LaMoure COUNTY tax payers
to the expense Of another trial. -

Road Opened to Leeds-Saturday
afternoon the Jamestown and North
ern branch which has been closed
from Oberon to Leeds was finally
opened and snow ploW and two fuel
cars reached Minnewaukon and
Brindsmade and went on to Leeds.
The people were glad to see train
again after several weeks Of isolation.
The work of opening the line north
of OberOn was difficult and the Rus
sell plow was strained to it's utmost
and two engines badly racked in the
runs made at the deep drifts. En-
gineers Jim McCabe and Billy Hughes
went into the solid drifts at speed
of 70 miles an hour in some cases and
broke off chunks of snow that demol-
ished telegraph lines and knocked
down telegraph poles A pilot on one
engine was smashed and draw bar
broken clean off. Sunday the ploW
having returned from Leeds, tried to
flange out the rails on the Rhodes
branch, there having been some light
snow drifted in on the track at some
places, but in running over a wagon
crossing, with deep drifts on either
side, the..plow jumped the track and
ran off into bank and the engine
following hit the rear end OF the
plow and pushed it further on the
bank and ran of the track on the
other side. The.plow. and the engine
we're thus left one pointing north the
other headed south. A wrecking
train vas sent up the line Monday to
pull the plow and engine back on the
track. All the towns on the line have
been supplied with fuel and neces-
saries.

Model Small Garden-The Dakota

Model Small Garden-The Dakota
Farmer has the following regarding
one of the small gardens in Penn bina
county, N. D., that of Mrs. James
Derby of Bathgate:
"Last fall l had occasion to visit a
neighbor and inspect her cellar and
garden. l have seen displays.at fairs
but never anything to compare with
her collection, all of her own grow
ing and manufacture, and her excla-
nation, we raised all this fruit our
selves here in North Dakota was an
eye-opener to me as to the possibili-
ties of skilled industry in this eli
mate. Shelf above shelf Of the lowell
est canIed and preserved strawbcr-
ries, raspberries, plums, currants,
gooseberries, crab apples, apples, to-
matoes, jellies, ketchups and pickles
met my delighted gaze, and makes
my mouth water as think of it.
The half hours object lesson in the
garden, which is surrounded on three
sides b; deep wind break of rasp-
berries and plums, gave me more in
formation than all the cultural direc-
tions / have ever read. Over each
tomato plant was box with top and
bottom removed to keep the branches
up from the ground and all superf7u-
Gus branches were cut off. The result
was bushels o. ripe tomatoes. The
mode of potting the strawberry run
ncrs was new too. She used small
flower pots leaving the new plant in
the pot for two weeks until well root
ed then transplanting to the desired
spot: removing the pot does not stop
the growth for a moment. This cellar
and garden are an Eden in my men,
ory and stimulate me to greater
efforts to attain similar efficiency.
March is a good month to start our
garden in the house and by the mid
die OF May we can have supply OF
fine large cabbage, tomato, celery and
other giants: and also have the pleas
ure of watching them Mrs.
