Houston Makes Report to Police.

Lieutenant Houston, u. s. N, calf
ed at. police Headquarters last night
shortly after 10 o'clock and reported
that an 1S-foot gasoline dory, WITH
first class machinist and seaman,
belonging TO the torpedo boat das
stroyer Worden. had been missing
since tuesday afternoon ut O'Clock.
1t liz hoped that the dory is adiftt
somewhere on James river, but
Lieutenant Houston entertains. 81
grave fear that something more sses
ri9us has happened. 4
The two men came here Tuesday
morning in tho ,dory. Their gasoIine
engine was out or order. and, al.
though they worked on 1t for some
time. the boat is said TO have bnen
more or less crippled when It left
TIE brealswater ut the foot OF Tween
ty-fiith street to return to the Wor-
den, which is at anchor with the aiu-
tilla In Hampton Roads. az, Il
Since the dory left THE breakwater
here, nothing has been aeen or heard
OF either boat or men. underS ordi.
nary conditions the dory should
have reached the Worden within two
hours, but as the engine was not
working properly, darkness Ii,jght5
have found the little craft ont in
champion Roads. This fact gives
ground for the fear that the occu.
pants of the dory mig.. have suffered
the same fate rs the officers ana
men WHO were aboard the lost launch
of the battleship Minnesota.
If the engine stopped soon after
the hoat left the breakwater, 1t is
possible that the tide carried the
dory up or across James river.
Lieutenant Houston described the
missing boat as an lS-foot dory.
painted green with yellow Nv" on
bows. He did not give the names OF
the machinlst and seaman.

day that IL making SO rapid progress
IN all things that go to make a pros.
porous and contented people as that
which is taking place in the north.
west portion OF the state.
AS an Illustration, Ward county has
gone from 5000 people ten years ago
to $4,000 people to-day. From an as
sessed valuation Of 100000, eight
years ago to that of $f2,000,OO0 to-day.
This change in this county has occur
red with the binding swiftness of en-
chantment. Go where you will, touch
at any point within this magnificent
county and prosperity is indicated at
every turn. Thousands have come here
within the past few years with barely
sufficient money to pay the land office
fee for filing on 160 acres, but to-day
they are all the owners of we'll
equipped, well housed and well stocked
farms. Ward county land during the
past five years has produced as much
per acre in its selling value as has the
$3.50 and 5000 acre land in Illinois,
Iowa, Indiana and Eastern and South.
ern Minnesota.
And yet we have not begun to learn
how to produce the most out Of the
rich soil of this section When the
farmer farms less and better, when he
knows the value of poultry and butter
and eggs, the mich cow and the
creamery, corn and necessarily hogs,
then will Ward county be at its best.
The farmer can then pay for the ma.
chinery he buys and for twelve months
in the year and every day in the month
he can dig down in his pockets and
produce the money to buy that which
he needs.
The city of Minot has had as great
and as substantial growth as had the
country in which it is located Two
competing and transcontinental lines
pass through it. The city is the neces-
sary and logical supply point to 225,O00
people embraced within an area of 40
miles. No city in the state has made
SO rapid and continual progress as has
Minot during the past six years. With
wise government and the continued
progressive spirit which its citizens
now possess there il no reason why Il
should not double its present popula.
ton Of 1000 within the next seven or
eight years. Well we are living in q
great state, great county and great
city, and we should all work together
and unselfishly for the good of the
whole. know as Minot prospers I
will get my proportionate share and as
Ward county grows, Minot must neces-
sarily grow, so let us all pull together,
to make the state, the county and the
city in which we live the very best
along the lines which go to make up
good commonwealth and people.

HISTORIC YEAR N STATES PROGRESS
The Assessed Valuation Of he State Increases SsoOoooo ID
the Inst Five Yeors.
~. NJ. Devine In nffnot optic.}

u. N. Devine In Mtnot Optic.)
The year 1906 will go down as a
great year in the history Of North Da-
kota. Prosperity abounds throughout
the state and in a degree that is par.
ticularly noticeable to every traveller
who passes through the state. While
perhaps the yield per acre was not so
great as In 1905 nor the price Of grain
per bushel so good, still the large In
crease Of acreage under cultivation
give larger income to the people of
the state than last year.
The following statement Of fact
will perhaps better illustrate the rapid
growth In wealth and number Of the
state than possibly any other way.
Five years ago the population of the
state was estimated at 100000 and 1t
Is now 100000. The assessed valua-
ton five years ago was $4,000, 900;
1t is now $200,000,O00, and the actual
value Is not much less than $780,
100000.
It Is doubtful whether another
state in the Union could make such q
showing. The aggregate value of the
farm products in 1905 was estimated
at about $15O,00O,O 900, or about $4,000
to every farm. The dairy products of
the state during the same year
amounted to about $5,000,OOO. The
live stock on the farms and ranges
throughout the state in 1905 was esti-
mated at $60,OO0,000.
One item Of especial interest to the
people of the state is the fact that
North Dakota produced this year
2.250.000 bushels Of excellent corn
The bulk Of it was dent corn. The
acreage in this crop is increasing rap
Idly with each year, and predict
that In ten years the yield of corn pei
year will reach between seven and ten
millions of bushels.
presume that the sale value of the
grain and stock raised on the farms
of North Dakota this year would make
$3.50 for every man, woman and child
within Its borders. This perhaps is q
large per capita over that of any other
state in the Union, and it has this 9th
er very desirable condition that it is
more equitably distributed than the in
come derived from the products OF
any one other state.
There are 500 churches in the state
not less than 5000 schools and 425
banks. We have a permanent com.
mon school fund to-day of $8,OOO,OoO
and this fund will be kept increasing
until it reaches $5O,00O,OOO, the inter.
est upon which would be sufficient to
pay all running expenses of the schools
Of the state at the cost of the present
maintenance, which is $2,500,0OO.
There is no portion of the state to

DEATH IN |LL.FATED TRAINS PATH

AS tragic earnest of what was to
be, the 500 train that was wrecked at
Enderlin Sunday morning crushed out
one mans life and perhaps fatally in
jured his companion near Hecker, a
few miles south of Minot This trag-
edy was enacted seven hours before
the wreck at Enderlin, which cost ten
lives and severely injured about forty
persons.
James Murray of Hecker was killed
and Thomas Lundy of Minot danger
ously wounded at Hecker.
| The passengers on Inflated train No.
LOG, merry with thoughts of Christmas,
| did not know that behind them were
the prcstrate forms Of two men lying
in gully near the roadbed in plight
much like that fated for many of them.
They did not know because No. LOG, in
its mad fight to destruction, did not
stop to pick up the dead and wounded
The two men, who were trying to
lift their little hand car from the track
SO that the passenger train might not
be wrecked, were not needed. The
passenger train swept the car and the
men from the track and sped on it's
way to disaster. It did not stop to re-
capitulate, but the wife Of one of the
men ran from her little home to find
her husband unconscious and his com.
panion deed. James Murray. foreman
Of the section crew, was killed out
right, and Thomas Lundy of Minot is
now in the Ward county hospital with
q broken leg, a broken jaw and serious
internal injuries. At an inquest over
the body Of James Murray it was al
legged that No. LOG did not carry
headlight. It did not even stop to see
the destruction it had wrought. The
men might have escaped with their
lives had they not paused to lift the
hand car that the passenger train
might not be wrecked at Hecker.
Their heroic act. only put the wreck of
Z few hours, but had they left the
handcar on the track It is possible that
the more serious wreck at Enderlin
might have been averted.
James Murray gave his life to save
those passengers who q. few miles
down the track were to have their
lives sacrificed a. his had been. The.

passenger train swept by while James
Murray's body was pinioned under the
hand car and beside it lay the strug-
Cling form of his comrade, Thomas
Lundy.
Mrs. Lundy was an eyewitness to
the whole scene. She says that the
men had just lifted two wheels of the
hand car of the track when the pas
senger engine bore down on them.
The passenger engine ripped the hand
car from the track and overturned it
on top of the two men, who were tug
ging at 1t in the hope that the passen-
ger train and its precious freight
might pass in safety. They got the
car started and the engine did tho
rest.
Perhaps not one on the passenger
train knew what had happened. The
train disappeared in the darkness
while Mrs. Lundy knelt beside the
PROSTATE form of her husband until
help came and neighbors removed the
bodies to Minot.
The men had few supplies which
they wanted to take to the car house.
They heard the rumble Of the passen-
ger train as it came down at a forty.
mile-an-hour clip. They could not see
any headlight, for the engine was with.
out One, 1t is declared. ana therefore
the engineer could not see them. One
minute more and the men would have
reached safety.
It was impossible for the coroner's
jury, which held a partial inquest on
Murray's body, to complete its work,
but it Is intimated that the company
will be charged with negligence In the
expected verdict. DIR. Newlove, who
attended Lundy and Murray, was I'M
able to present his testimony and the
inquest was postponed. The testimony
shows that the engine did not have :
headlight and that the train did not
stop to pick up the men after It had
struck the hand car.
The matter will be presented to the
Ward county grand jury, It IL stated
on good authority. The coroner's yer.
dict practically is drawn, and those
close to the investigation state that
the road win be held guilty Of nagli.
